Regarding the gaming machine, the variation pattern includes a special deviation variation pattern, and the special deviation variation pattern is a deviation in the second winning lottery in a special gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the specific gaming state. It is a fluctuation pattern that can specify the longest special missed fluctuation time among the missed fluctuation patterns that can be determined, and is a jackpot game based on the jackpot in the first hit lottery and a jackpot in the second hit lottery. In the big hit game based on the fact, the big hit game based on the big hit in the second hit lottery is more advantageous to the player than the first big hit game based on the big hit in the first hit lottery. Therefore, when a big hit is obtained in the first hit lottery in the special gaming state, the fluctuation pattern determining means may determine a special hit fluctuation pattern having a fluctuation time longer than the special deviation fluctuation time.

With respect to the gaming machine, the specific gaming state is a state in which a special game based on the result of the first winning lottery is more likely to be executed than a special game based on the result of the second winning lottery. When a big hit is obtained in the two-hit lottery, the execution of the specific effect may be restricted when the special game based on the result of the first-hit lottery is not executed or held.

With respect to the gaming machine, the fluctuation pattern that can be determined when a big hit is obtained in the first hit lottery in the specific gaming state includes fluctuations that can specify a fluctuation time longer than the fluctuation time that can be specified from the specific hit fluctuation pattern. There may be a pattern.

Regarding the game machine, the fluctuation pattern that can be determined when a big hit is obtained in the first hit lottery in the specific game state is a fluctuation that can specify a fluctuation time shorter than the fluctuation time that can be specified from the specific hit fluctuation pattern. If there is a pattern and the big hit game based on the big hit in the first hit lottery is executed during the execution of the special game by the specific hit fluctuation pattern in the specific game state, the execution of the specific effect is performed. It may be regulated.

In the game area YBa, the flow-down passage 27 is formed by the first passage member 25 and the second passage member 26. The game ball that has flowed into the flow passage 27 is guided to the second starting port 15. The game ball guided to the second starting port enters the second starting port 15 when the second starting port 15 is open, and enters the second starting port 15 when the second starting port 15 is closed. Do not enter the ball. In the flow passage 27, the second starting port 15 is located upstream of the third starting port 17. Therefore, in the flow passage 27, all the game balls that did not enter the second starting port 15 are guided to the third starting port 17. In the present embodiment, the game ball guided to the third start port 17 changes its behavior due to a game nail (not shown) or the like, so that the game ball enters the third start port 17 and the third start. There are times when the ball does not enter the mouth 17. In the flow passage 27, the third starting port 17 is located upstream of the large winning opening 18. Therefore, among the game balls guided to the third starting port 17, all the game balls that did not enter the third starting port 17 are guided to the large winning opening 18. The game ball guided to the large winning opening 18 enters the large winning opening 18 when the large winning opening 18 is open, and does not enter the large winning opening 18 when the large winning opening 18 is closed. .. If a game ball enters from the entry port 27a at the uppermost stream of the flow passage 27 and does not enter any of the second start port 15, the third start port 17, and the large winning opening 18, the ball enters.

When a game ball flowing down (passing) through the flow-down passage 27 collides with the first protrusion 26a, the flow-down speed (passing speed) of the game ball decreases. That is, the first protrusion 26a has a function of suppressing the flow speed of the game ball flowing down the upper surface of the first variable member 16. Further, the second passage member 26 has a plurality of second protrusions 26b at positions facing the second variable member 19 on the lower surface of the second passage member 26. When the game ball flowing down the flow-down passage 27 collides with the second protrusion 26b, the flow-down speed of the game ball decreases. That is, the second protrusion 26b has a function of suppressing the flow speed of the game ball flowing down the upper surface of the second variable member 19.

Next, in the present embodiment, the route through which the game ball flows down will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 configured as described above has a plurality of routes according to the firing intensity of the gaming ball as a route through which the gaming ball flows down in the gaming region YBa. The route through which the game ball flows down can also be grasped as an area in which the game ball flows down. The plurality of routes include a first route R1 that passes through the left side of the center frame W to the out port 24 and a second route R2 that reaches the out port 24 through the right side of the center frame W. The first path R1 and the second path R2 may be partially overlapped or may not be completely overlapped. In the following description, the area located on the left side of the center line CL that bisects the game area YBa to the left and right when the game board YB is viewed from the front is referred to as "left side area R1a" and is on the right side of the center line CL. The region where it is located is referred to as "right region R1b". The route flowing down the left side region R1a corresponds to the first route R1, and the route flowing down the right side region R1b corresponds to the second route R2.

Then, the player operates the launch handle HD to adjust the launch intensity of the game ball to hit the game ball into the left side region R1a and the right side region R1b, and the first start port 14, the second start port 15, It is possible to insert a game ball into the third starting port 17, the large winning opening 18, and the gate 22. In the present embodiment, the first starting port 14 is arranged on the first path R1, and the second starting port 15, the third starting port 17, and the large winning opening 18 are placed on the second path R2. And it can be said that the gate 22 is arranged. That is, the second starting port 15, the third starting port 17, the large winning opening 18, and the gate 22 are arranged on the same flow path in the game board YB. Then, on the second path R2, the second starting port 15, the third starting port 17, the large winning opening 18, and the gate 22 are the gate 22, the second starting port 15, the third starting port 17, and the large winning opening from the upstream. The mouths 18 are arranged in this order.

In the present embodiment, when the game ball is launched by adjusting the firing intensity to be weak, the game ball easily flows down the left side region R1a and may enter the first starting port 14. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the game ball is launched by adjusting the firing intensity to be stronger, the game ball easily flows down the right side region R1b, and the second start port 15, the third start port 17, and the large winning opening 18 are used. , And there is a possibility of entering any of the gates 22. In other words, in the present embodiment, when the game ball flows down on the first path R1, the second start port 15, the third start port 17, and the big prize are compared with the case where the game ball flows down on the second path R2. It is unlikely that the ball will enter either the mouth 18 or the gate 22. On the other hand, when the game ball flows down on the second path R2, it is less likely to enter the first starting port 14 than when it flows down on the first path R1. When the game ball flows down on the first path R1, the game ball may not be able to enter the second starting port 15. Further, when the game ball flows down on the first path R1, the game ball may not be able to enter the third starting port 17. Further, when the game ball flows down on the first path R1, the game ball may not be able to enter the large winning opening 18. Further, the game ball may not be able to enter the gate 22 when flowing down on the first path R1. Further, when the game ball flows down on the second path R2, the game ball may not be able to enter the first starting port 14.

In the following description, among the firing intensities of the game ball, the firing strength at which the game ball is launched so as to flow down on the first path R1 is referred to as the first firing intensity, and the game ball is launched at the first firing intensity. May be referred to as "left-handed". In addition, among the firing intensities of the game ball, the firing strength at which the game ball is fired so as to flow down on the second path R2 is indicated as the second firing strength, and firing the game ball at the second firing strength is "right-handed". May be indicated.

Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 includes a low-probability state and a high-probability state as gaming states in which the jackpot probabilities differ. The high probability state is a gaming state in which the probability of winning a big hit is higher than that in the low probability state. The high probability state is a so-called "probability fluctuation state (probability change state)", and the low probability state is a so-called "non-probability fluctuation state (non-probability change state)".

Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 includes a first open state and a second open state as game states in which the control regarding the opening of the second start port 15 is different. In the present embodiment, the first open state is a game state in which the game ball does not enter the second starting port 15. On the other hand, the second open state is a game state in which the game ball can enter the second starting port 15. As described above, the second starting port 15 is arranged on the second path R2. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is preferable to hit left in the first open state, and it is preferable to hit right in the second open state. The second open state in the present embodiment is the so-called "electric support state", and the first open state is the so-called "non-electric support state".

For example, in the second open state, one or a plurality of controls arbitrarily selected from the three controls described below are performed. The first control is a control for shortening the fluctuation time of the normal symbol, which shortens the fluctuation time of the normal game as compared with the case of the first open state.

As shown in FIG. 5, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the execution condition of the special game is satisfied (step S01). While the main control CPU 40a determines that the execution condition of the special game is satisfied when the hit game (big hit game, small hit game) is not in progress and the big hit game is not in the waiting state, the main control CPU 40a determines that the execution condition of the special game is satisfied. Alternatively, if the jackpot game is waiting to occur, it is determined that the execution condition of the special game is not satisfied. If the execution condition of the special game is not satisfied (step S01: NO), the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the execution condition of the special game is satisfied (step S01: YES), the main control CPU 40a determines whether the first special game is being executed (step S02).

It is longer than the fluctuation times Tm2-35 and Tm2-36 defined in the jackpot fluctuation patterns HP2-35 and HP2-36. In the present embodiment, the jackpot fluctuation pattern of the first special game that can be determined in the first high probability state is longer than the fluctuation pattern of the second special game that can be determined in the first high probability state. The fluctuation time is set. In the following description, when the fluctuation pattern (fluctuation pattern HP2-33) in which the longest fluctuation time is defined among the deviation fluctuation patterns of the second special game that can be determined in the special gaming state is shown as the special deviation fluctuation pattern. There is. Further, the jackpot fluctuation pattern (variation patterns HP1-33, HP1-34) of the first special game that can be determined in the special gaming state may be indicated as a special jackpot fluctuation pattern. Further, in the following explanation, the fluctuation time defined in the special out-of-range fluctuation pattern is referred to as the special out-of-bounds fluctuation time, and the fluctuation time defined in the special out-of-bounds fluctuation pattern is referred to as the special out-of-bounds fluctuation time, and is defined in the special hit fluctuation pattern. The fluctuation time may be referred to as the fluctuation time per special.

With this configuration, when a big hit is obtained in the second hit lottery in the specific game state, the main control CPU 40a determines a specific hit fluctuation pattern capable of specifying a fluctuation time longer than the specific out-of-specification fluctuation time. Become.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the fluctuation time specified by the fluctuation pattern included in each fluctuation pattern group is in the specific gaming state, the average fluctuation time when the second special game is executed is the first special game. Is set to be significantly longer than the average fluctuation time when is executed. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the case of the specific game state, the special game is executed per predetermined unit time when the first special game is executed rather than the second special game is executed. The number of games increases.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the fluctuation time specified by the fluctuation pattern included in each fluctuation pattern group is in the special game state, the average fluctuation time when the first special game is executed is the second special game. Is set to be longer than the average fluctuation time when is executed. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the case of the special gaming state, the special game is executed in a predetermined unit time when the second special game is executed rather than the first special game is executed. The number of games increases.

Next, the prize ball processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
When the detection signal is input from the first start sensor SE1, the main control CPU 40a controls to pay out a predetermined number of game balls. Similarly, when the main control CPU 40a inputs a detection signal from each sensor of the second start sensor SE2, the third start sensor SE3, and the count sensor SE4, the main control CPU 40a pays out a predetermined number of game balls to each sensor. Control.

Next, the processing related to the gaming state performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
Information that can identify the game state is stored in the main control RAM 40c. The information that can identify the game state stored in the main control RAM 40c includes the above-mentioned probability state flag and the open state flag.

When controlling to a low probability state, the main control CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying the low probability state in the probability state flag and outputs control information (hereinafter, referred to as a low probability command) capable of specifying the low probability state. Store in a buffer. Further, when controlling to a high probability state, the main control CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying the high probability state in the probability state flag, and also controls information capable of specifying the high probability state (hereinafter, referred to as a high probability command). Is stored in the output buffer.

Further, when controlling to the first open state, the main control CPU 40a sets a value that can specify the first open state in the open state flag, and also controls information that can specify the first open state (hereinafter, the first open state). (Shown as a command) is stored in the output buffer. Further, when controlling to the second open state, the main control CPU 40a sets a value that can specify the second open state in the open state flag, and also controls information that can specify the second open state (hereinafter, the second open state). (Shown as a command) is stored in the output buffer.

Further, when the main control CPU 40a controls the second open state with the number of operations as the upper limit, the number of operations is stored in the main control RAM 40c. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores information that can specify the number of operations (hereinafter, referred to as an operation number command) in the output buffer. Then, the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the remaining number of operations stored in the main control RAM 40c each time the special game is executed. When the remaining number of operations becomes 0, the main control CPU 40a controls the first open state with the end of the special game in which the remaining number of operations becomes 0. That is, in the present embodiment, the second open state is terminated when the number of executions of the special game after the end of the jackpot game reaches the number of operations. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the remaining number of operations stored in the main control RAM 40c each time the first special game is executed, while the second special game is executed. At that time, it may be controlled not to subtract the remaining number of operations.

The main control CPU 40a does not change the game state even when a small hit is won. That is, the main control CPU 40a controls the same gaming state before the start of the small hit game and after the end of the small hit game. Further, the main control CPU 40a does not update the number of operations even when a small hit is won.

Next, the jackpot processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described. When the detection signal is input from the gate sensor SE5 in the state of waiting for the occurrence of the big hit game, the main control CPU 40a executes the big hit process. In the jackpot process, the main control CPU 40a controls to generate a jackpot game based on the jackpot symbol (type of jackpot) determined in the special symbol start process. At this time, the main control CPU 40a controls the game state to the first low probability state as the big hit game occurs. In the jackpot process, the main control CPU 40a first stores information (hereinafter, referred to as an opening command) that can specify the start of the opening time in the output buffer. When the opening time elapses, the main control CPU 40a performs a process for executing the round game. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a starts the round game by controlling the jackpot 18 to be opened in the opening mode defined in the jackpot symbol (type of jackpot). That is, in the big hit game, the main control CPU 40a controls so as to allow the game ball to enter the big winning opening 18.

Then, after starting the round game, the main control CPU 40a ends the round game by controlling so as to close the big winning opening 18 when the first big hit round end condition or the second big hit round end condition is satisfied. Let me. The main control CPU 40a repeats the process for executing such a round game until the maximum number of round games is completed. Further, each time the main control CPU 40a starts a round game, the main control CPU 40a stores information (hereinafter, referred to as a round command) that can specify the start of the round game in the output buffer. When the final round game is completed, the main control CPU 40a stores information (hereinafter, referred to as an ending command) that can specify the start of the ending time in the output buffer. The main control CPU 40a ends the jackpot game when the ending time elapses.

Next, the small hit process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described. When the special game of small hits is completed, the main control CPU 40a executes the small hit process. In the small hit process, the main control CPU 40a controls to cause a small hit game. In the present embodiment, when the special game of small hit is completed, the main control CPU 40a performs the small hit process regardless of whether or not the detection signal is input from the gate sensor SE5.

In the small hit process, the main control CPU 40a first stores information (hereinafter, referred to as a small hit opening command) that can specify the start of the opening time in the output buffer. When the opening time elapses, the main control CPU 40a starts the open game by controlling the second actuator A2 so as to open the large winning opening 18 in the opening mode defined in the small hit symbol (type of small hit). Let me. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores information (hereinafter, referred to as an open game command) that can identify the start of the open game in the output buffer when the open game is started. After that, when the first small hit round end condition or the second small hit round end condition is satisfied, the main control CPU 40a ends the open game by controlling the large winning opening 18 to be closed. When the open game ends, the main control CPU 40a stores information that can specify the start of the ending time (hereinafter, referred to as a small hit ending command) in the output buffer. The main control CPU 40a ends the small hit game when the ending time elapses.

Next, a normal symbol input process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
In the normal symbol input process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the game ball has passed (entered) the gate 22 based on whether or not the detection signal is input from the gate sensor SE5. When the game ball has not passed through the gate 22, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the gate 22, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the normal hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). When the normal hold number is not less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. When the normal hold number is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the normal hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c and updates it. In this case, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 13 (normal hold display unit 13f) so as to display the updated normal hold number. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a normal hold number command) capable of specifying the updated normal hold number in the output buffer. Next, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main control board 40, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. In this case, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information for a normal game so that the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In addition, for example, the random number is an ordinary hit random number used for the ordinary hit determination (ordinary hit lottery). After that, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process.

Next, the normal symbol start processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
In the normal symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied. The main control CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination when the normal hit game is not in progress and is not in the normal game, while a negative determination is made when the normal hit game is in progress or the normal game is in progress. If the execution condition of the normal game is not satisfied, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, when the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the normal hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is 1 or more. When the normal number of pending numbers is not 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. When the normal hold number is 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the normal hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c to update. In this process, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display device 13 (normal hold display unit 13f) so that the updated normal hold number is displayed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores a normal hold number command capable of specifying the updated normal hold number in the output buffer.

Next, the main control CPU 40a reads out the first stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c among the random number information for the normal game. When the main control CPU 40a reads the earliest random number information, the first random number information is erased from the main control RAM 40c. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a performs a normal hit determination (normal hit lottery) based on the read random number information. In the normal hit determination, the main control CPU 40a wins the normal hit based on the value of the normal hit random number that can be specified from the read random number information and the normal hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. To judge. At this time, the main control CPU 40a may perform a normal hit determination using different normal hit determination values depending on the current open state. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a may perform a normal hit determination in the second open state so that the probability of winning a normal hit is higher than in the first open state. For example, the main control CPU 40a may perform the normal hit determination depending on whether or not the value of the normal hit random number and the normal hit determination value match. In this case, when increasing the probability of winning a normal hit in the second open state, it is preferable to increase the number of normal hit determination values as compared with the first open state. Further, the main control CPU 40a may perform the normal hit determination depending on whether or not the value obtained by adding the value of the normal hit random number and the normal hit determination value exceeds a predetermined value. In this case, when increasing the probability of winning a normal hit in the second open state, the normal hit determination value may be set to a larger value or the predetermined value may be set to a smaller value as compared with the first open state. When the normal hit is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the normal hit symbol to be derived in the normal game and the fluctuation time of the normal game. After that, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. At this time, in the second open state, the main control CPU 40a determines a shorter time as the fluctuation time of the normal game as compared with the first open state (or it is easy to determine a shorter time as the fluctuation time of the normal game). You may do so.

Then, the main control CPU 40a executes a normal game by performing a process different from the normal symbol start process. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a is an information display device so as to start the normal game and derive the normal symbol determined in the normal symbol start process when the fluctuation time determined in the normal symbol start process elapses. 13 (normal symbol display unit 13e) is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores in the output buffer control information that can identify that the execution of the normal game is started as the execution of the normal game is started.

Next, the normal hit processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described. When the normal hit game ends, the main control CPU 40a executes the normal hit process. In the normal hit process, the main control CPU 40a starts the control for causing the normal hit game. In the normal hit processing, the main control CPU 40a causes the normal hit game by controlling the first actuator A1 so as to open the second start port 15 in the opening mode defined in the normal symbol (type of normal hit). do. That is, the main control CPU 40a controls the first variable member 16 in the open state in the normal hit game. At this time, the main control CPU 40a may control the first actuator A1 in the second open state so that the opening time of the second starting port 15 is longer than that in the first open state, or once. The first actuator A1 may be controlled so that the number of times the second starting port 15 is opened in the normal hit game is increased.

Next, various processes executed by the sub-control CPU 50a will be described.
First, the state processing performed by the sub-control CPU 50a will be described. Information that can identify the gaming state is stored in the sub-control RAM 50c. The information that can identify the gaming state stored in the sub-control RAM 50c includes information that can specify which of the low-probability state and the high-probability state (hereinafter, referred to as a sub-probability state flag). The information that can identify the gaming state stored in the sub-control RAM 50c includes information that can specify which of the first open state and the second open state (hereinafter, referred to as the sub-open state flag). ..

When a low-probability command is input, the sub-control CPU 50a sets a value capable of specifying a low-probability state in the sub-probability state flag, while when a high-probability command is input, a value capable of specifying a high-probability state is subordinated. Set to the probability state flag. Further, the sub-control CPU 50a sets a value that can identify the first open state in the sub-open state flag when the first open command is input, while the sub-control CPU 50a sets the second open state when the second open command is input. Set the identifiable value to the sub-open state flag. Thereby, the sub-control CPU 50a can specify the current gaming state.

Further, when the operation number command is input, the sub-control CPU 50a stores the operation number that can be specified from the operation number command in the sub-control RAM 50c. Then, the sub-control CPU 50a subtracts 1 from the number of operations stored in the sub-control RAM 50c each time the variation pattern designation command is input. Thereby, the sub-control CPU 50a can specify the remaining number of operations. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 50a subtracts 1 from the remaining number of operations stored in the sub-control RAM 50c each time a variation pattern designation command for the first special game is input, while the second special When the variation pattern specification command for the game is input, it may be controlled not to subtract the remaining number of operations.

Next, the hit state processing performed by the sub-control CPU 50a will be described.
When the sub-control CPU 50a inputs the opening command, the sub-control CPU 50a sets a value that can identify that a big hit game is in progress in the hit state flag stored in the sub-control RAM 50c. When the sub-control CPU 50a inputs the ending command and then the variation pattern specification command, the sub-control CPU 50a sets the hit state flag stored in the sub-control RAM 50c to a value that can identify that the game is not in the hit game. When the small hit opening command is input, the sub control CPU 50a sets a value that can identify that the small hit game is in progress in the hit state flag stored in the sub control RAM 50c. When the sub-control CPU 50a inputs the variation pattern designation command after inputting the small-hit opening command, the sub-control CPU 50a sets a value that can identify that the small-hit game is not in progress in the hit state flag stored in the sub-control RAM 50c. By referring to the hit state flag stored in the sub-control RAM 50c, the sub-control CPU 50a determines whether the jackpot game, the small hit game, or the hit game is in progress (during the big hit game and the small hit game). (Whether it is none of the above) can be specified. In addition, the sub-control CPU 50a may be configured to set a value that can identify the occurrence waiting state of the big hit game in the hit state flag when the occurrence waiting command is input. In this case, the sub-control CPU 50a can specify whether or not the jackpot game is in the waiting state by referring to the hit state flag stored in the sub-control RAM 50c.

Next, the hit effect processing performed by the sub-control CPU 50a will be described.
The sub-control CPU 50a controls at least one of the effect display devices 12a to 12c, the decorative lamp LA, and the speaker SP so that the occurrence wait effect is executed when the occurrence wait command is input. The occurrence waiting effect is executed with the effect content that encourages the game ball to enter the gate 22. Specifically, the waiting-for-occurrence effect is executed with the content of the effect that encourages right-handed strikes. In this way, the occurrence waiting effect is executed with the effect content that encourages the occurrence of the jackpot game.

The sub-control CPU 50a is at least one of the main effect display device 12a, the lower sub-effect display device 12b, the upper sub-effect display device 12c, the decorative lamp LA, and the speaker SP so that the jackpot effect is performed during the jackpot game. To control. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 50a controls to execute the opening effect when the opening command is input. Further, the sub-control CPU 50a controls to execute the round effect when the round command is input. Further, the sub-control CPU 50a controls to execute the ending effect when the ending command is input.

Further, the sub-control CPU 50a includes a main effect display device 12a, a lower sub-effect display device 12b, an upper sub-effect display device 12c, and a decorative lamp LA so that the small-hit effect is performed during the small-hit game in the first high-probability state. , And at least one of the speaker SPs. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 50a controls to execute the opening effect for the small hit when the small hit opening command is input in the first high probability state. Further, the sub-control CPU 50a controls to execute the effect during the open game when the open game command is input in the first high probability state. Further, the sub-control CPU 50a controls to execute the ending effect for the small hit when the small hit ending command is input in the first high probability state.

Next, the effect setting process performed by the sub-control CPU 50a will be described.
When a look-ahead command is input, the sub-control CPU 50a sub-controls the game content information indicating the variation pattern of the special game that can be specified from the look-ahead command so that the type and storage order of the corresponding special game can be specified. It is stored in the RAM 50c. The game content information may be the value of the look-ahead command itself, or may be information obtained by processing the value of the look-ahead command by a predetermined method. The sub-control CPU 50a can identify the fluctuation pattern of the special game pending by referring to the game content information stored in the sub-control RAM 50c.

Here, based on FIG. 11, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the change of the holding ball with respect to the gaming time in each gaming state will be described. In addition, here, the change of the holding ball with respect to the game time when the big hit game is not won and the big hit game is not generated will be described.

In the present embodiment, in the first low probability state, it is preferable to hit left, so it is assumed that hit left. In the present embodiment, the second special game is not executed by hitting left in the first low probability state. Further, even if a right-handed hit is made, the first special game is more likely to be executed than the second special game because the fluctuation time of the second special game is extremely long in the first low probability state. However, in the first low probability state, even if the player hits the left side, the number of balls held cannot be increased, and the number of balls held decreases as the game is continued.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the second low accuracy state and the second high accuracy state, it is preferable to strike right, so it is assumed that the player strikes right. In the present embodiment, in the case of the second open state, it is easier for the game ball to enter the second start port 15 as compared with the case of the first open state, so that the ball enters from the entry port 27a of the flow passage 27. Since most of the game balls that have entered the ball enter the second starting port 15, the possibility that the game ball will enter the third starting port 17 located downstream of the second starting port 15 is reduced. .. Therefore, in the second low probability state and the second high probability state, the first special game is more likely to be executed than the second special game. Therefore, in the second low probability state and the second high probability state, even if the player hits right, the number of balls held cannot be increased, and the number of balls held decreases as the game is continued. However, the rate of entry into the second starting port 15 when the game ball is launched into the right region R1b by hitting right in the second open state is the rate of hitting left in the first open state. It is higher than the ball entry rate when the game ball is launched into the left side region R1a. As a result, in the second low-accuracy state and the second high-accuracy state, the game ball can easily enter the second starting port 15, so that the game ball is determined as compared with the first low-accuracy state. The number of game balls that can be acquired increases per unit time.

Further, in the present embodiment, when it is in the first high accuracy state, it is preferable to hit right, so it is assumed that hit right. In the first high accuracy state, it is difficult for the game ball to enter the second starting port 15, so that the game ball can easily enter the third starting port 17. Further, in the first high accuracy state, the fluctuation time of the second special game of the outlier and the second special game of the small hit is shorter than the fluctuation time of the first special game of the outlier. Therefore, in the first high accuracy state, the second special game is more likely to be executed than the first special game. As a result, in the present embodiment, a small hit game is likely to occur per unit predetermined time. Therefore, in the first high accuracy state, the number of balls held increases as the game time elapses.

Next, the production game in this embodiment will be described in detail.
As described above, the production game of the present embodiment includes a first main production game, a second main production game, a first sub production game, and a second sub production game. Then, the first main effect game and the second main effect game are executed on the main effect display device 12a. On the other hand, the first sub-effect game is executed by the lower sub-effect display device 12b, and the second sub-effect game is executed by the upper sub-effect display device 12c. That is, the main effect display device 12a is an effect display device shared by the first main effect game and the second main effect game. On the other hand, the lower sub-effect display device 12b is an effect display device dedicated to the first sub-effect game, and the upper sub-effect display device 12c is an effect display device dedicated to the second sub-effect game.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the main effect display device 12a executes one of the first main effect game and the second main effect game. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the main effect display device 12a, the second main effect game is not executed during the execution of the first main effect game, and the first main effect is not executed during the execution of the second main effect game. The game is not running.

As described above, in the present embodiment, in the specific gaming state, the average fluctuation time when the second special game is executed is extremely longer than the average fluctuation time when the first special game is executed. It is stipulated as. Here, in the specific gaming state, if the second special game that is out of the game or the second main production game that corresponds to the second special game that is a small hit is executed, the second main production game will be played for an extremely long time. As a result of the situation where it is executed, it becomes difficult to execute the first main production game. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the specific gaming state, the second main production game corresponding to the outlier second special game or the small hit second special game is not executed among the second main production games. It has become. On the other hand, in the specific gaming state, the second main production game of the jackpot can be executed. Here, if the second main effect game of the jackpot is not executed in the specific game state, a situation occurs in which the jackpot game is waiting to occur during the execution of the first main effect game. That is, a situation may occur in which the jackpot game is started during the execution of the first main production game. In such a case, since there is a risk of confusing the player, in the present embodiment, it is possible to execute the second main production game, which is a big hit among the second main production games, in the specific gaming state. .. In the specific gaming state, the second main production game of the jackpot is executed with the execution of the first special game as an opportunity. For example, in the specific game state, the second main production game of the jackpot is executed when the end of the first special game is triggered.

Further, as described above, in the special gaming state, when the game ball is launched into the right side region R1b by hitting right, it is difficult for the game ball to enter the second starting port 15, and mainly the third starting port 17 A game ball enters the ball. That is, it is difficult to execute the first special game in the special game state. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the special gaming state, the first main production game corresponding to the first special game, which is out of the first main production game, is not executed. On the other hand, in the special gaming state, the first main production game of the jackpot can be executed. Here, if the first main effect game of the jackpot is not executed in the special game state, a situation occurs in which the jackpot game is waiting to occur during the execution of the second main effect game. That is, a situation may occur in which the jackpot game is started during the execution of the second main production game. In such a case, since there is a risk of confusing the player, in the present embodiment, it is possible to execute the first main production game of the jackpot among the first main production games in the special gaming state. .. In the special gaming state, the first main production game of the jackpot is executed with the execution of the second special game as an opportunity. For example, in the special gaming state, the first main production game of the jackpot is executed when the end of the first special game is triggered. As described above, in the present embodiment, the big hit second main effect game can be executed in the specific game state, and the big hit first main effect game can be executed in the special game state.

Next, the specific effect will be described.
As described above, when the second main effect game of the jackpot is executed in the specific game state, and when the first main effect game of the jackpot is executed in the special game state, the specific variation is the variation content. A defined fluctuation pattern is determined. That is, in the present embodiment, the specific effect is executed when the second main effect game of the jackpot is executed in the specific game state and when the first main effect game of the jackpot is executed in the special game state. It is supposed to be done. In the following description, the specific effect executed with the execution of the first main effect game is referred to as "first specific effect", and the specific effect executed with the execution of the second main effect game is referred to as "second specific effect". It may be indicated as "directing". The first specific effect is an effect corresponding to a special game (first special game) based on the result of the first winning lottery, and the second specific effect is a special game based on the result of the second winning lottery (second special game). ) Corresponding to the production. Further, the first specific effect corresponds to the first notice effect that can recognize the jackpot expectation, and the second specific effect corresponds to the second notice effect that can recognize the jackpot expectation.

As shown in FIG. 12, in the specific effect, the main effect display device 12a displays a character image G1 imitating a predetermined character and a time image G2 indicating the remaining time until the running main effect game ends. Is executed by. That is, the specific effect is an effect that is executed in a manner corresponding to the remaining time until the end of the special game with the specific hit variation pattern that is being executed when the specific effect is executed. In the specific effect in the present embodiment, the time image G2 is displayed after the character image G1 is displayed. Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the specific effect is started, the character image G1 is displayed on the main effect display device 12a. After that, in the main effect display device 12a, the time image G2 is displayed when the predetermined time has elapsed since the character image G1 was displayed.

The specified time can be determined in the case of the specific gaming state and the fluctuation time of the specific deviation variation pattern in which the fluctuation time longer than the deviation variation pattern of the first special game that can be determined in the specific gaming state is defined. The time is shorter than the difference from the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern per specific in the second special game. More specifically, the specified time is shorter than the difference between the fluctuation time of the specific out-of-specification fluctuation pattern and the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern having the shortest fluctuation time among the specific per-specific fluctuation patterns. The specified time is shorter than the difference between the specified per-specific fluctuation time and the specific out-of-specification fluctuation time. Further, the specified time can be determined when the fluctuation time is defined as the fluctuation time longer than the jackpot fluctuation pattern of the first special game which can be determined in the specific gaming state, and the fluctuation time is defined in the specific gaming state. The time is shorter than the difference from the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern per specific in the second special game. More specifically, the specified time is the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation time is longer than the jackpot fluctuation pattern of the first special game that can be determined in the specific gaming state, and the fluctuation time of the specific hit fluctuation pattern. The time is shorter than the difference from the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern with the shortest fluctuation time.

Further, the specified time is determined when the special gaming state is the fluctuation time of the special deviation fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation time longer than the deviation fluctuation pattern of the second special game which can be determined in the special gaming state is defined. It is a time shorter than the difference from the fluctuation time of the special jackpot fluctuation pattern of the first special game that is possible. More specifically, the specified time is shorter than the difference between the fluctuation time of the special out-of-order fluctuation pattern and the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern having the shortest fluctuation time among the special jackpot fluctuation patterns. The specified time is shorter than the difference between the special per-hit fluctuation time and the special off-floating time. Further, the specified time can be determined in the case of the special gaming state and the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation time defined is longer than the jackpot fluctuation pattern of the second special game that can be determined in the special gaming state. The time is shorter than the difference from the fluctuation time of the special jackpot fluctuation pattern of the first special game. More specifically, the specified time is the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation time is longer than the jackpot fluctuation pattern of the first special game that can be determined in the special game state, and the fluctuation time of the special jackpot fluctuation pattern. The time is shorter than the difference from the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern with the shortest fluctuation time.

In addition, the specific effect is a notice effect that can specify the jackpot expectation of the special game corresponding to the main effect game being executed. As described above, the specific effect is executed when the second main effect game of the jackpot is executed in the specific game state and when the first main effect game of the jackpot is executed in the special game state. .. Therefore, the specific effect is executed when the first special game ends in the specific game state. Further, the specific effect is executed when the second special game ends in the special game state. That is, the specific effect is an effect that can be executed when the special game ends. Of the specific effects, the period from the display of the character image G1 to the elapse of the specified time corresponds to the first effect, and the second effect is after the specified time has elapsed and the character image G1 and the time image G2 are displayed. handle. That is, in the present embodiment, the specific effect includes the first effect and the second effect after the first effect. Then, in the present embodiment, the character image G1 after the lapse of the specified time is a loop image in which the same moving image is repeated at predetermined intervals. The loop image may be a still image, and the character image G1 before the lapse of the specified time may be a loop image or a non-loop image.

Next, a situation in which a specific effect can be executed will be described.
FIG. 13 shows a situation in which a specific effect can be executed in a specific game state. In the specific game state, when there is no first special game being executed, the first special game does not end, so the specific effect is not executed. In addition, when the first special game that is out of the question is being executed in the specific game state, and the first special game of the jackpot is not pending, the specific effect is executed when the first special game being executed ends. NS. The time when the first special game of the jackpot is not held is when the first special game is not held and when the held first special game is the first special game which is out of the question.

On the other hand, when the first special game of the outlier is being executed in the specific game state, when the first special game of the jackpot is pending, the first special game of the jackpot that is held first and the first special game of the jackpot are being executed. Depending on which of the second special games ends first, whether or not the specific effect is executed differs. Specifically, when the first special game of the outlier is being executed in the specific game state, the first special game of the jackpot that is held first is executed when the first special game of the jackpot is pending. In the situation where the game ends before the second special game in the game, the specific effect is not executed. On the other hand, when the first special game of the outlier is being executed in the specific game state, when the first special game of the jackpot is pending, the first special game of the jackpot that is held first is being executed. In a situation where the game ends after the second special game, a specific effect is executed. That is, when the first special game that is out of the specific game state is being executed, the first special game of the jackpot is pending, and the jackpot game corresponding to the specific effect is executed, the specific effect Is to be executed. Further, when the first special game of the jackpot is being executed in the specific game state, the specific effect is not executed. As described above, since the specific effect is an effect executed when the second main effect game is executed in the specific game state, the situation where the specific effect is executed in the specific game state is the second main effect. This is the situation where the production game is executed. Further, the situation in which the specific effect is not executed in the specific game state is the situation in which the second main effect is not executed.

Next, the effect symbol variation processing for executing the effect game will be described.
In the effect symbol variation process, the sub-control CPU 50a determines whether or not the main effect game is being executed. When the main effect game is not being executed, the sub-control CPU 50a executes the main effect symbol variation process for executing the main effect game. In the main effect symbol variation processing, when a symbol command is input, the sub-control CPU 50a is mainly associated with a newly started special game based on the current game state and the type of special symbol that can be identified from the symbol command. Determine whether or not to execute the production game. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 50a determines to execute the first main effect game when the current game state is any of the specific game states and the type of the special symbol is the first special symbol. Further, the sub-control CPU 50a determines to execute the second main effect game when the current game state is the special game state and the type of the special symbol is the second special symbol. On the other hand, in the sub-control CPU 50a, when the current game state is any of the specific game states and the type of the special symbol is the second special symbol, or when the current game state is the special game state and the type of the special symbol When is the first special symbol, it is determined that the main effect game is not executed in the main effect symbol variation process. For example, when the sub-control CPU 50a specifies the jackpot symbol ZA, ZB, Zc or the outlier symbol of the first special symbol from the symbol command, the sub-control CPU 50a determines that the type of the special symbol is the first special symbol. Further, when the sub-control CPU 50a specifies the big hit symbol Za, Zb, Zc, the small hit symbol, or the outlier symbol of the second special symbol from the symbol command, the sub-control CPU 50a determines that the type of the special symbol is the second special symbol. When it is determined not to execute the main effect game, the sub-control CPU 50a ends the main effect symbol variation process.

When it is determined to execute the main effect game, the sub-control CPU 50a determines the combination of the effect symbols to be derived in the main effect game based on the special symbol that can be specified from the symbol command. When the jackpot symbol of the special symbol is designated, the sub-control CPU 50a determines the jackpot symbol combination by the effect symbol. Further, when the small hit symbol of the special symbol is designated, the sub-control CPU 50a determines the combination of the small hit symbols by the effect symbol. Then, when the out-of-order symbol of the special symbol is specified, the sub-control CPU 50a determines the combination of the out-of-order symbols according to the effect symbol. In the following description, for convenience of explanation, the symbol combination based on the effect symbol determined at this time may be referred to as "main effect symbol combination".

After determining the combination of the main effect symbols, the sub-control CPU 50a controls the main effect display device 12a so that the effect symbols are displayed in a variable manner when the variation pattern designation command is input. That is, the sub-control CPU 50a starts the main production game. The variation pattern specification command can be said to be control information for instructing the start of the main production game based on the variation pattern. The sub-control CPU 50a is at least the main effect display device 12a of the main effect display device 12a, the decorative lamp LA, and the speaker SP so that the jackpot notice effect is executed based on the variation pattern that can be specified from the variation pattern designation command. To control. The jackpot notice production is a production that can recognize the jackpot expectation of a special game corresponding to the main production game being executed. The jackpot notice effect corresponding to the first special game corresponds to the first notice effect, and the jackpot notice effect corresponding to the second special game corresponds to the second notice effect. After that, the sub-control CPU 50a ends the main effect symbol variation process.

When the main effect game is being executed and when the main effect symbol variation process is completed, the sub-control CPU 50a executes the sub-effect symbol variation process for executing the sub-effect game.

In the sub-effect symbol variation process, the sub-control CPU 50a determines whether to execute the first sub-effect game or the second sub-effect game based on the type of the special symbol. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 50a determines to execute the first sub-effect game when the type of the special symbol is the first special symbol, and when the type of the special symbol is the second special symbol, the second Decide to run the sub-directing game.

When executing the first sub-effect game, the sub-control CPU 50a controls the lower sub-effect display device 12b so as to display the effect symbols in a variable manner on condition that the variation pattern designation command is input. That is, the sub-control CPU 50a starts the first sub-effect game. The variation pattern designation command can be said to be control information for instructing the start of the first sub-effect game based on the variation pattern. Further, the sub-control CPU 50a determines the combination of the effect symbols to be derived in the sub-effect game based on the special symbol that can be specified from the symbol command. When the sub-control CPU 50a specifies the jackpot symbol of the special symbol, the sub-control CPU 50a determines the jackpot symbol combination by the effect symbol. Then, when the sub-control CPU 50a specifies the out-of-order symbol of the special symbol, the sub-control CPU 50a determines the out-of-order symbol combination according to the effect symbol. In the following description, for convenience of explanation, the symbol combination based on the effect symbol determined at this time may be referred to as "first sub-effect symbol combination". After that, the sub-control CPU 50a ends the sub-effect symbol variation process.

When executing the second sub-effect game, the sub-control CPU 50a causes the upper sub-effect display device 12c to display the effect symbol in a variable manner on condition that the sub-control CPU 50a has input a variation pattern designation command. Control. That is, the sub-control CPU 50a starts the second sub-effect game. The variation pattern designation command can be said to be control information for instructing the start of the second sub-effect game based on the variation pattern. Further, the sub-control CPU 50a determines the combination of the effect symbols to be derived in the sub-effect game based on the special symbol that can be specified from the symbol command. When the sub-control CPU 50a specifies the jackpot symbol of the special symbol, the sub-control CPU 50a determines the jackpot symbol combination by the effect symbol. Further, when the sub-control CPU 50a specifies the small hit symbol of the special symbol, the sub-control CPU 50a determines the combination of the small hit symbols by the effect symbol. Then, when the sub-control CPU 50a specifies the out-of-order symbol of the special symbol, the sub-control CPU 50a determines the out-of-order symbol combination according to the effect symbol. In the following description, for convenience of explanation, the symbol combination based on the effect symbol determined at this time may be referred to as "second sub-effect symbol combination". After that, the sub-control CPU 50a ends the sub-effect symbol variation process.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 50a causes the main effect display device 12a to execute the jackpot notice effect based on the variation pattern that can be specified from the variation pattern designation command. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 50a does not execute the jackpot advance notice effect on the lower sub-effect display device 12b and the upper sub-effect display device 12c. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the jackpot notice effect is not executed in the lower sub effect display device 12b. Further, in the upper sub-effect display device 12c, the jackpot notice effect is not executed.

After that, the sub-control CPU 50a temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination by the effect symbol determined by the corresponding effect display device when the end timing of the effect game arrives by a process different from the effect symbol variation process. Perform control of. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 50a executes a control for temporarily stopping and displaying the first sub-effect symbol combination in the lower sub-effect display device 12b when the end timing of the first effect game has arrived. Further, at this time, when the sub-control CPU 50a is executing the first main effect game, the main effect symbol combination is performed on the main effect display device 12a when the end timing of the first main effect game has arrived. Execute control to temporarily stop and display. On the other hand, when the second main effect game is being executed, the sub-control CPU 50a does not execute the control for temporarily stopping and displaying the main effect symbol combination on the main effect display device 12a.

Further, the sub-control CPU 50a executes a control for temporarily stopping and displaying the second sub-effect symbol combination in the upper sub-effect display device 12c when the end timing of the second effect game has arrived. Further, at this time, when the sub-control CPU 50a is executing the second main effect game, the main effect symbol combination is performed on the main effect display device 12a when the end timing of the second main effect game has arrived. Execute control to temporarily stop and display. On the other hand, when the first main effect game is being executed, the sub-control CPU 50a does not execute the control for temporarily stopping and displaying the main effect symbol combination on the main effect display device 12a.

Then, the sub-control CPU 50a terminates the corresponding effect game with the input of the game end command as an opportunity, and executes the control for deriving the symbol combination by the effect symbol in the corresponding effect display device. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 50a executes a control for deriving the first sub-effect symbol combination in the lower sub-effect display device 12b, triggered by the input of the first game end command. Further, at this time, when the first main effect game is being executed, the sub-control CPU 50a controls the main effect display device 12a to derive the main effect symbol combination, triggered by the input of the first game end command. To execute. On the other hand, when the second main effect game is being executed, the sub-control CPU 50a does not execute the control for deriving the main effect symbol combination in the main effect display device 12a.

Further, the sub-control CPU 50a executes a control for deriving the second sub-effect symbol combination in the upper sub-effect display device 12c, triggered by the input of the second game end command. Further, at this time, when the second main effect game is being executed, the sub-control CPU 50a controls to derive the main effect symbol combination in the main effect display device 12a, triggered by the input of the second game end command. To execute. On the other hand, when the first main effect game is being executed, the sub-control CPU 50a does not execute the control for deriving the main effect symbol combination in the main effect display device 12a. The sub-control CPU 50a clocks the fluctuation time specified from the fluctuation pattern specified when the fluctuation pattern designation command is input, and ends each production game when the fluctuation time elapses. It may be. In this case, the game end command may be omitted.

As described above, in the effect symbol variation processing, the sub-control CPU 50a executes the first main effect game and does not execute the second main effect game when in the specific game state. Further, in the effect symbol variation processing, the sub-control CPU 50a executes the second main effect game and does not execute the first main effect game when in the special game state. On the other hand, in the effect symbol variation process, the sub-control CPU 50a can execute each of the first sub-effect game and the second sub-effect game in either the specific game state or the special game state.

Next, the specific effect execution process executed by the sub-control CPU 50a to execute the specific effect will be described.
First, the first specific effect execution process for executing the first specific effect will be described. The first specific effect execution process is executed when the sub-control CPU 50a inputs a second game end command in the special game state.

As shown in FIG. 14, in the first specific effect execution process, the sub-control CPU 50a determines whether or not the first special game of the jackpot is being executed (step S31). When the jackpot first special game is not being executed (step S31: NO), the sub-control CPU 50a ends the first specific effect execution process. When the first special game of the jackpot is being executed (step S31: YES), it is determined whether or not the second special game corresponding to the input second game end command is the second special game of the jackpot (step S32). ). In the case of the second special game of big hit (step S32: YES), the sub-control CPU 50a ends the first specific effect execution process. If it is not the second special game of the jackpot (step S32: NO), the sub-control CPU 50a determines whether or not there is the second special game of the jackpot in the hold (step S33). For example, the sub-control CPU 50a specifies from the game content information whether or not there is a big hit second special game in the hold. When there is no second special game of jackpot in the hold (step S33: NO), the sub-control CPU 50a determines whether or not the remaining fluctuation time of the first special game of jackpot being executed is equal to or greater than the specified value. (Step S34). When the remaining fluctuation time of the first special game of the jackpot being executed is not equal to or more than the specified value (step S34: NO), the sub-control CPU 50a ends the first specific effect execution process.

When there is a second special game of jackpot in the hold (step S33: YES), the sub-control CPU 50a is assigned to the second special game of jackpot that is pending before the jackpot game based on the first special game being executed. It is determined whether or not the jackpot game based on the game is started (step S35). For example, the sub-control CPU 50a specifies the fluctuation pattern of the second special game held before the second special game of the jackpot from the game content information, and has a fluctuation time defined for each of the specified fluctuation patterns. Calculate the sum. The sub-control CPU 50a compares the total of the fluctuation times with the remaining fluctuation time of the first special game being executed, and compares the remaining fluctuation time of the first special game being executed to obtain the jackpot that is pending before the jackpot game based on the first special game being executed. It is determined whether or not the jackpot game based on the second special game is started.

When the jackpot game based on the second special game of jackpot that is pending before the jackpot game based on the first special game being executed is started (step S35: YES), the sub-control CPU 50a determines the first specific effect. End the execution process. When the remaining fluctuation time of the first special game of the running jackpot is equal to or longer than the specified value (step S34: YES), and the jackpot game which is pending before the jackpot game based on the first special game being executed When the jackpot game based on the second special game is not started (step S35: NO), the sub-control CPU 50a controls the main effect display device 12a so as to execute the first specific effect (step S36). Further, at this time, the sub-control CPU 50a controls the main effect display device 12a so as to execute the first main effect game. After that, the sub-control CPU 50a ends the first specific effect execution process.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the first specific effect is executed with the execution of the second special game as an opportunity. Therefore, in the situation where the second special game is not executed and held, the first specific effect is not executed. That is, in the present embodiment, when a big hit is obtained in the first winning lottery in the special game state, and when the special game based on the result of the second winning lottery is not executed or held, the specific effect (first specific effect). Execution is regulated.

Next, the second specific effect execution process for executing the second specific effect will be described. The second specific effect execution process is executed when the sub-control CPU 50a inputs the first game end command in the specific game state.

As shown in FIG. 15, in the second specific effect execution process, the sub-control CPU 50a determines whether or not the second special game of the jackpot is being executed (step S41). When the second special game of the jackpot is not being executed (step S41: NO), the sub-control CPU 50a ends the second specific effect execution process. When the second special game of the jackpot is being executed (step S41: YES), it is determined whether or not the first special game corresponding to the input first game end command is the first special game of the jackpot (step S42). ). If it is the first special game of big hit (step S42: YES), the sub-control CPU 50a ends the second specific effect execution process. If it is not the first special game of the jackpot (step S42: NO), the sub-control CPU 50a determines whether or not there is the first special game of the jackpot in the hold (step S43). For example, the sub-control CPU 50a specifies from the game content information whether or not there is a big hit first special game in the hold. When there is no jackpot first special game in the hold (step S43: NO), the sub-control CPU 50a determines whether or not the remaining fluctuation time of the running jackpot first special game is equal to or greater than the specified value. (Step S44). When the remaining fluctuation time of the first special game of the jackpot being executed is not equal to or more than the specified value (step S44: NO), the sub-control CPU 50a ends the first specific effect execution process.

When there is a jackpot first special game in the hold (step S43: YES), the sub-control CPU 50a is assigned to the jackpot first special game that is pending prior to the jackpot game based on the running second special game. It is determined whether or not the jackpot game based on the game is started (step S45). For example, the sub-control CPU 50a specifies the fluctuation pattern of the first special game held before the first special game of the jackpot from the game content information, and has a fluctuation time defined for each of the specified fluctuation patterns. Calculate the sum. The sub-control CPU 50a compares the total of the fluctuation times with the remaining fluctuation time of the second special game being executed, and compares the remaining fluctuation time of the second special game being executed to obtain the jackpot that is pending before the jackpot game based on the second special game being executed. It is determined whether or not the jackpot game based on the first special game is started.

When the jackpot game based on the first special game of jackpot that is pending before the jackpot game based on the second special game being executed is started (step S45: YES), the sub-control CPU 50a determines the second specific effect. End the execution process. When the remaining fluctuation time of the second special game of the running jackpot is equal to or longer than the specified value (step S44: YES), and the jackpot game which is pending before the jackpot game based on the second special game being executed When the jackpot game based on the first special game is not started (step S45: NO), the sub-control CPU 50a controls the main effect display device 12a so as to execute the second specific effect (step S46). Further, at this time, the sub-control CPU 50a controls the main effect display device 12a so as to execute the second main effect game. After that, the sub-control CPU 50a ends the second specific effect execution process.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the second specific effect is executed with the execution of the first special game as an opportunity. Therefore, in the situation where the first special game is not executed and held, the second specific effect is not executed. That is, in the present embodiment, when a big hit is obtained in the second winning lottery in the specific gaming state, and when the special game based on the result of the first winning lottery is not executed or held, the specific effect (second specific effect). Execution is regulated.

Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 20.
FIG. 16 illustrates a situation in which the execution condition of the second special game of the jackpot is satisfied during the execution of the first special game that is out of the game in the specific game state. At the time point T10, the first special game is being executed, and the second special game is not being executed or held. At this time, the main effect display device 12a is executing the first main effect game corresponding to the out-of-order first special game. Further, in the lower sub-effect display device 12b, the first sub-effect game corresponding to the out-of-order first special game is executed. Further, at the time point T10, it is assumed that a plurality of first special games are reserved and all of them are out of the first special games. After that, it is assumed that the second special game of the jackpot is executed at the time point T11. At this time, since the first main effect game is being executed on the main effect display device 12a, the second main effect game corresponding to the second special game of the jackpot and the specific effect corresponding to the second main effect game are displayed. Not executed. On the other hand, in the upper sub-effect display device 12c, the second sub-effect game is executed.

At the time point T12, it is assumed that the first special game that is out of the way is finished. As described above, the jackpot fluctuation pattern of the second special game that can be determined in the specific gaming state determines a longer fluctuation time than the outlier fluctuation pattern of the first special game that can be determined in the specific gaming state. It is a fluctuation pattern. Therefore, regardless of the type of fluctuation pattern of the first special game that is out of the game and the type of fluctuation pattern of the second special game that is the jackpot, the first special game that is out of the game precedes the second special game of the jackpot. Is finished. At the time point T12, when the first special game of the outlier is finished, the first special game of the jackpot is not held, so that the main effect display device 12a executes the first special game of the outlier as a trigger. The second main production game corresponding to the second special game of the big hit and the specific production corresponding to the second main production game are executed. After that, at the time point T13, the second main effect game corresponding to the second special game and the specific effect corresponding to the second main effect game are executed until the second special game of the jackpot is completed. Further, at the time point T13, the first special game that is out of the game is interrupted when the second special game of the big hit is completed. After that, with the start of the jackpot game, the missed display result is derived in the interrupted first special game, and the missed first special game ends.

As described above, in the present embodiment, during the execution of the special game based on the fact that the second hit lottery is a big hit in the specific game state, the main effect display device 12a is based on the fact that the first hit lottery is missed. With the execution of the special game as an opportunity, a specific effect corresponding to the special game based on the result of the second winning lottery is executed. More specifically, when a big hit is obtained in the second hit lottery in the specific game state, and a special game based on the fact that the first hit lottery is missed in the specific game state is being executed, the special After the game is finished, a specific effect corresponding to the special game based on the result of the second winning lottery is executed.

FIG. 17 illustrates a situation in which the execution condition of the second special game of the jackpot is satisfied during the execution of the first special game of the jackpot in the specific game state. At the time point T20, the first special game of the jackpot is being executed, and the second special game is not being executed or held. At this time, the main effect display device 12a is executing the first main effect game corresponding to the first special game of the jackpot. Further, in the lower sub-effect display device 12b, the first sub-effect game corresponding to the first special game of the big hit is executed. After that, it is assumed that the second special game of the jackpot is executed at the time point T21. At this time, since the first main effect game is being executed on the main effect display device 12a, the second main effect game corresponding to the second special game of the jackpot and the specific effect corresponding to the second main effect game are displayed. Not executed. On the other hand, in the upper sub-effect display device 12c, the second sub-effect game is executed.

At the time point T22, it is assumed that the first special game of the jackpot has ended. As described above, the jackpot fluctuation pattern of the second special game that can be determined in the specific gaming state determines a longer fluctuation time than the jackpot fluctuation pattern of the first special game that can be determined in the specific gaming state. It is a fluctuation pattern. Therefore, regardless of the type of fluctuation pattern of the first special game of jackpot and the type of fluctuation pattern of the second special game of jackpot, the first special game of jackpot precedes the second special game of jackpot. Is finished. Therefore, at the time point T22, since the finished first special game is the first special game of the jackpot, the second main production game corresponding to the second special game of the jackpot being executed on the main effect display device 12a, And the specific effect corresponding to the second main effect game is not executed. Further, at the time point T22, the second special game of the jackpot is interrupted when the first special game of the jackpot ends. After that, with the start of the jackpot game, the missed display result is derived in the interrupted jackpot second special game, and the missed first special game ends.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the big hit game based on the big hit in the first hit lottery is executed during the execution of the special game by the specific hit fluctuation pattern in the specific game state, the specific effect is executed. Is regulated.

18 (a) and 18 (b) exemplify a situation in which the execution condition of the first special game, which is out of alignment, is satisfied during the execution of the second special game of the jackpot in the specific game state.
As shown in FIG. 18A, it is assumed that the second special game of big hit is started at the time point T30. At time point T30, it is assumed that the first special game has not been executed and held. At this time, the main effect display device 12a does not execute the second main effect game, although the main effect game is not being executed. Similarly, the main effect display device 12a does not execute the specific effect. For example, in the main effect display device 12a, a standby effect suggesting a situation in which the game is not being performed is executed.

On the other hand, in the upper sub-effect display device 12c, the second sub-effect game is executed. After that, it is assumed that the first special game that is out of alignment is executed in the period from the time point T31 to the time point T32. At the time point T32, when the first special game that is out of the way is finished, the main effect display device 12a is executing the game on condition that the remaining fluctuation time of the second special game of the jackpot that is being executed is equal to or longer than the specified time.

Therefore, at the time point T82, in the main effect display device 12a, the first main effect game corresponding to the first special game of the jackpot that is being executed and the first main effect game corresponding to the second special game that is out of the way are completed. 1 A specific effect corresponding to the main effect game is executed. It is assumed that the second special game of the jackpot is executed at the time point T83. At this time, since the first main effect game and the specific effect are being executed on the main effect display device 12a, the second main effect game corresponding to the second special game of the jackpot and the second special game of the jackpot The jackpot notice effect that suggests the jackpot expectation is not executed. On the other hand, in the upper sub-effect display device 12c, the second sub-effect game is executed. At the time point T84, when the first special game of the jackpot ends, the first main effect game corresponding to the first special game of the jackpot and the specific effect end. Further, at the time point T84, the second special game of the jackpot is interrupted when the first special game of the jackpot is completed. After that, with the start of the jackpot game, the missed display result is derived in the interrupted jackpot second special game, and the jackpot second special game ends.

The effect of this embodiment will be described.
(1) According to the present embodiment, the specific effect corresponding to the second special game based on the result of the second winning lottery is the execution of the first special game based on the result of the first winning lottery different from the second winning lottery. Is executed as an opportunity. Therefore, when the second special game of the jackpot is executed, the special game of the jackpot based on the result of the second hit lottery is started after the specific effect is started according to the execution timing of the first special game and the second special game. The timing until the end is indefinite. In such a situation, in order to secure the minimum production time as the production time of the specific effect, when the second hit lottery in the specific game state becomes a big hit, the main control CPU 40a loses in the first hit lottery. Among the decidable out-of-range fluctuation patterns, the specific out-of-specification fluctuation pattern having the longest fluctuation time is determined. As a result, at least the difference between the fluctuation time of the specific per-specific variation pattern and the fluctuation time of the specific out-of-specification fluctuation pattern can be secured as the minimum production time of the specific effect.

(2) In the present embodiment, the specific effect is an effect of displaying a time image G2 indicating the remaining time until the end of the main effect game being executed. According to this, the specific effect can be executed according to the remaining time until the end of the special game due to the specific hit variation pattern that is being executed when the specific effect is executed, that is, the effect time of the specific effect. Is. Then, when the specific effect is executed, the remaining variable time of the special game of the jackpot being executed from the time image G2, that is, the time until the jackpot game can be started can be specified. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player who has obtained the right to the jackpot game from ending the game without being granted the jackpot game.

(3) According to the present embodiment, when a big hit is obtained in the first hit lottery in the special game state, a special hit fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation time is longer than the special miss fluctuation time is determined. For this reason, in the special game state that is advantageous for the player, the big hit is achieved in the first hit lottery, which is a relatively disadvantageous big hit game compared to the big hit game based on the big hit in the second hit lottery. It is possible to suppress the execution of the jackpot game based on.

(4) In the present embodiment, when the first special game based on the result of the first winning lottery is not executed and held in the specific game state, it is assumed that the game is not performed. In this way, in a situation where the game has not already been performed, by restricting the execution of the specific effect, the player who has obtained the right to the second winning lottery and the player who is different from the player concerned have the right to the big hit game. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of troubles related to the above.

(5) In the present embodiment, when the big hit game based on the big hit in the first hit lottery is executed during the execution of the special game by the specific hit fluctuation pattern in the specific game state, the execution of the specific effect is executed. Be restricted. According to this, it is possible to suppress that the specific effect is executed even though the big hit game based on the big hit in the second hit lottery is not executed.

(6) According to the present embodiment, the effect time of the first effect constituting the specific effect is shorter than the difference between the specific effect variation time and the specific off-specification variation time. The specific effect is executed at least until the effect time of the first effect elapses and the second effect is started. That is, when the specific effect is executed, at least the first effect can be executed, and the specific effect is specified regardless of the execution timing of the special game based on the result of the first winning lottery and the special game based on the result of the second winning lottery. You can entertain the production.

(7) According to the present embodiment, the main effect display device 12a corresponds to the big hit notice effect corresponding to the first special game based on the result of the first hit lottery and the second special game based on the result of the second hit lottery. It is shared by the big hit notice production. Therefore, if attention is paid to the main effect display device 12a, the jackpot notice effect corresponding to the first special game based on the result of the first hit lottery and the jackpot corresponding to the second special game based on the result of the second hit lottery It becomes possible to recognize the production content of the notice production. That is, it is possible to estimate whether or not the result of the first winning lottery and the result of the second winning lottery are big hits. On the other hand, the lower sub-effect display device 12b executes the first sub-effect game corresponding to the first special game based on the result of the first winning lottery, and the upper sub-effect display device 12c is based on the result of the second winning lottery. The second sub-directing game corresponding to the second special game is executed. Therefore, the player recognizes the content of the desired sub-effect game among the first sub-effect game and the second sub-effect game by paying attention to the lower sub-effect display device 12b or the upper sub-effect display device 12c. It will be possible. That is, by paying attention to the lower sub-effect display device 12b or the upper sub-effect display device 12c, the player can obtain the result of the first winning lottery and the desired winning lottery result among the results of the second winning lottery. It becomes recognizable.

(8) According to the present embodiment, the main effect display device 12a and the lower sub effect display device 12b execute different effects when executing the effects corresponding to the same special game. As a result, the player can enjoy the desired effect by arbitrarily selecting which of the main effect display device 12a and the lower sub effect display device 12b to pay attention to.

(9) According to the present embodiment, the main effect display device 12a and the upper sub effect display device 12c execute different effects when executing the effects corresponding to the same special game. As a result, the player can enjoy the desired effect by arbitrarily selecting which of the main effect display device 12a and the upper sub effect display device 12c to pay attention to.

(10) According to the present embodiment, since the first effect display device can execute the first effect display device on both the main effect display device 12a and the lower sub effect display device 12b, the player can determine the result of the first lottery. It becomes easier to recognize.

(11) In the present embodiment, the first effect game (first main effect game) executed by the main effect display device 12a is the first effect game (first sub effect) executed by the lower sub effect display device 12b. Higher visibility than games). Therefore, the player who wants to specify the result of the first winning lottery is among the main effect display device 12a and the lower sub effect display device 12b depending on whether or not the first effect game is executed on the main effect display device 12a. By selecting which effect display device to pay attention to, it becomes easier to recognize the result of the first lottery.

(12) According to the present embodiment, since the second effect display device can execute the second effect display device on both the main effect display device 12a and the upper sub effect display device 12c, the player can determine the result of the second winning lottery. It becomes easier to recognize.

(13) In the present embodiment, the second effect game (second main effect game) executed by the main effect display device 12a is the second effect game (second sub effect) executed by the lower sub effect display device 12b. Higher visibility than games). Therefore, the player who wants to specify the result of the second winning lottery is among the main effect display device 12a and the upper sub effect display device 12c depending on whether or not the second effect game is executed on the main effect display device 12a. By selecting which effect display device to pay attention to, it becomes easier to recognize the result of the second lottery.

The above embodiment can be modified and implemented as follows. The following modification examples can be implemented in combination with each other to the extent that they are technically consistent.
-The fluctuation pattern that can be determined when a big hit is obtained in the first hit lottery in the specific game state may include a fluctuation pattern that can specify a fluctuation time longer than the fluctuation time that can be specified from the specific hit fluctuation pattern. According to this, it is possible to prevent the big hit game based on the big hit in the first hit lottery from being executed in the specific game state during the execution of the specific effect.

-The execution timing of the specific effect may be changed arbitrarily. For example, the execution timing of the specific effect may be executed with the start of the special game as a trigger, or may be executed with the lapse of a predetermined time from the start of the special game. In this case, the sub-control CPU 50a executes the first specific effect execution process and the second specific effect execution process at the timing of executing the specific effect. The predetermined time may be the time from the start of the main production game to the start of a predetermined production such as an N reach effect or an SP reach effect.

-For the above modification example, the execution timings of the first specific effect and the second specific effect may be different. In this case, the sub-control CPU 50a may make the execution trigger of the first specific effect execution process different from the execution trigger of the second specific effect execution process.

-In the specific game state, when the second special game of the jackpot is started, if the first special game is neither running nor pending, a new first special game is being executed during the execution of the second special game of the jackpot. The specific effect may not be executed even if the execution condition of is satisfied.

-In the special game state, when the first special game of the jackpot is started, if the second special game is neither running nor pending, a new second special game is being executed during the execution of the first special game of the jackpot. The specific effect may not be executed even if the execution condition of is satisfied.

-In the first specific effect execution process, the process of step S34 may be omitted. In this case, if there is no second special game of big hit in the hold (step S33: NO), the process of step S36 may be executed.

-In the second specific effect execution process, the process of step S44 may be omitted. In this case, if there is no big hit first special game in the hold (step S43: NO), the process of step S46 may be executed.

-The symbol combination of the effect symbols derived in the main effect game and the symbol combination of the effect symbols derived in the sub effect game may be the same or different.
-In the production game, the number of symbol rows may be changed arbitrarily. In this case, the number of symbol rows may be different between the main production game and the sub production game. Further, the effect symbols of each symbol sequence may be arbitrarily changed. That is, the effect symbols forming the symbol sequence may be different between the main effect game and the sub effect game.

-The fluctuation pattern of the special game based on the result of each winning lottery in each game state may be arbitrarily changed. For example, in the specific game state, when the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern determined when the result of the second hit lottery is a big hit is not the big hit (missing or small hit) in the lottery result of the second hit lottery. It may be configured to be shorter than the fluctuation time of the determined fluctuation pattern.

The sub-effect game may be executed by an effect display device different from the lower sub-effect display device 12b and the upper sub-effect display device 12c. For example, the sub-effect game may be executed by the main effect display device 12a, or may be executed by an effect display device different from the effect display devices 12a to 12c. In this case, the pachinko gaming machine 10 does not have to include the lower sub-effect display device 12b and the upper sub-effect display device 12c.

-When the main control CPU 40a wins the big hit lottery in either the first special symbol start process or the second special symbol start process, the special game executed based on the result of the big hit lottery is being executed. May be controlled not to execute the jackpot lottery in the other process. That is, when the result of the winning lottery in one of the first special symbol start processing and the second special symbol start processing is a big hit, the main control CPU 40a is based on the winning lottery result in the one processing. During the execution of the special game to be executed, it may be controlled so that the result of the winning lottery in the other process does not become a big hit. For example, when the main control CPU 40a wins a big hit in either the first hit lottery or the second hit lottery, the main control CPU 40a can set information that can specify the big hit in a predetermined flag and can specify the big hit in the predetermined flag. It is preferable to execute the first winning lottery and the second winning lottery on the condition that the information is not set. The main control CPU 40a may set a predetermined flag with information that can identify that the jackpot is not a jackpot, triggered by the execution of the jackpot game.

-The gaming state in which the second special game is more likely to be executed than the first special game may include another gaming state in addition to the first high accuracy state. In this case, the specific gaming state may be a part of the gaming state in which the first special game is more likely to be executed than the second special game, and the first special game is executed as compared with the second special game. It may be all of the easy gaming states.

-The special game state may be a part of the game state in which the first special game is more easily executed than the second special game. Further, the gaming state in which the first special game is more likely to be executed than the second special game includes, in addition to, or instead of the first low probability state, the second low probability state, and the second high probability state. There may be a gaming state. In this case, the gaming states in which the first special game is more likely to be executed than the second special game are the first low probability state, the second low probability state, the second high probability state, and the other game states described above. It is preferable that the game state is one or more arbitrarily selected.

-When the special game is interrupted, if the main production game corresponding to the special game is being executed, the main production game may be interrupted or may be terminated. Further, when the special game is interrupted, if the sub-effect game corresponding to the special game is being executed, the sub-effect game may be interrupted or may be terminated.

-The content of the jackpot game based on each jackpot may be changed as appropriate. For example, the big winning opening opened in the big hit game, the maximum number of round games, the opening mode of the big winning opening, and the like may be changed as appropriate. Further, for some or all of the big hit games, the big winning opening 18 may be opened in the same opening mode as the opening mode of the big winning opening 18 in the small hit game. In this case, the effect during the big hit game and the effect during the small hit game may be executed with the same or substantially the same effect content. According to this, it is possible to make it difficult to visually recognize whether the big hit or the small hit is won, so that it is possible to give the pleasure of guessing whether the big hit or the small hit is won.

Further, for example, even if a large winning opening different from the large winning opening 18 is provided and the main control CPU 40a is controlled to open another large winning opening in a predetermined round game of a predetermined big hit game. good.

-The type of jackpot may be changed as appropriate. For example, after the jackpot game is completed, the jackpot is controlled to the second high-accuracy state, and then the jackpot is controlled to the first high-accuracy state when the special game of the number of operations is completed without winning the jackpot. May be. In this case, the main control CPU 40a controls to a high probability state after the end of the big hit game until the next big hit game is given, while the main control CPU 40a controls until the next big hit game is given or the number of operations is special. It is preferable to control the second open state until the game ends.

-Also, for the above modification example, the number of times to be set as the number of operations may be different depending on the type of jackpot. That is, for a plurality of types of jackpots, regardless of which jackpot is won, the second high accuracy state is controlled after the jackpot game is completed, while different operation times are set according to the type of winning jackpot. As a result, the timing at which the number of operations ends and the first high accuracy state is controlled may be different.

-In addition, the jackpot may include a jackpot in which the game state controlled by the game state at the time of winning is different after the end of the jackpot game.
-The jackpot may be provided to be controlled to the first low probability state after the jackpot game is completed. The jackpot controlled to the first low probability state after the end of the jackpot game may be included in only one of the jackpot of the first special symbol and the jackpot of the second special symbol, or both. May be included in.

-It is not necessary to have a jackpot that is controlled to the second high accuracy state after the jackpot game is completed. That is, when it is controlled to the high probability state after the end of the big hit game, it may be controlled to the first high probability state.

-The first special symbol may include a small hit symbol. In this case, if the main control CPU 40a does not win the big hit lottery in the process of step S07 of the first special symbol start process, it is preferable to execute the small hit lottery. When the small hit lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the small hit symbol to be derived in the first special game by lottery using the value of the small hit symbol random number that can be specified from the random number information, and also identifies it from the random number information. It is advisable to determine the small hit variation pattern by lottery using the value of a random number for determining a possible variation pattern. Then, if the small hit lottery is not won, the main control CPU 40a may execute the process of step S09 of the first special symbol start process.

-There may be multiple types of small hits.
-In the small hit game, the opening time and the ending time may not be provided, and an extremely short time (for example, 0.1 second) may be set for the opening time and the ending time.

-The main control CPU 40a is configured so that when a small hit symbol is derived in the other special game during the execution of one special game, the missed symbol is derived in one special game and the one special game ends. You may.

-If the main control CPU 40a derives a jackpot symbol in the other special game while one of the first special game and the second special game is being executed, the main control CPU 40a interrupts one of the special games and ends the jackpot game. Later, the execution of one of the interrupted special games may be resumed.

-It may be embodied in a gaming machine (so-called ST machine) that controls a high probability state after the end of the jackpot game until a predetermined number of special games are executed. Further, it may be embodied as a gaming machine (so-called falling machine) that terminates the high probability state when a predetermined falling lottery different from the winning lottery is won. According to these, even when the first high accuracy state is controlled, the first high accuracy state may end before the next big hit game is given. Therefore, it is possible to provide a game property in which it is not known when the first high accuracy state ends.

-The position where various members are arranged on the game board YB may be changed as appropriate. For example, the second starting port 15 may be arranged on the right side region R1b of the game board YB on the upstream side of the third starting port 17 and the large winning opening 18.

-The sub control board 50 is used as the sub control board, and the display control board that specially controls the effect display devices 12a to 12c separately from the sub control board 50, the light emission control board that specially controls the decorative lamp LA, and the speaker SP are specialized. A voice control board for controlling the speaker may be provided. A sub-board may include such a sub-controlled control board and a board that controls other effects.

A main control CPU 40a of the main control board 40 and a sub control CPU 50a of the sub control board 50 may be mounted on a single board. Further, in the above alternative example, the display control board, the light emission control board, and the voice control board may be arbitrarily combined to form a single board or a plurality of boards.

12a ... main effect display device, 12b ... lower sub effect display device, 12c ... upper sub effect display device, 40 ... main control board, 40a ... main control CPU, 40b ... main control ROM, 40c ... main control RAM, 50 ... sub Control board, 50a ... Sub-control CPU, 50b ... Sub-control ROM, 50c ... Sub-control RAM.

The specific loss variation pattern is a variation pattern in which the longest specific loss variation time can be specified among the deviation variation patterns that can be determined when the first lottery is lost in the specific game state.
When a big hit is obtained in the second hit lottery in the specific game state, the fluctuation pattern determining means determines a specific hit fluctuation pattern capable of specifying a specific hit fluctuation time longer than the specific out-of-specification fluctuation time.
The specific effect is configured to include a first effect and a second effect after the first effect.
The production time of the first effect is defined as a time shorter than the difference between the specific per-specific fluctuation time and the specific non-specific fluctuation time.
When a big hit is obtained in the second hit lottery in the specific game state, the special game ends when a special game based on the fact that the first hit lottery is missed in the specific game state is being executed. After that, a gaming machine characterized in that a specific effect corresponding to a special game based on the result of the second winning lottery is executed. The gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the specific effect is executed in a mode corresponding to the remaining time until the special game according to the specific hit variation pattern, which is being executed when the specific effect is executed, ends. The fluctuation pattern includes a special out-of-range fluctuation pattern.
The special deviation variation pattern can specify the longest special deviation variation time among the deviation variation patterns that can be determined when the second winning lottery results in a deviation in the special gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the specific gaming state. Fluctuation pattern
The big hit game based on the big hit in the first hit lottery and the big hit game based on the big hit in the second hit lottery are the big hit games based on the big hit in the second hit lottery. Is more advantageous for the player than the first big hit game based on the big hit in the first hit lottery.
The first or second aspect of the special gaming state, wherein when a big hit is obtained in the first hit lottery, the variation pattern determining means determines a special hit variation pattern having a variation time longer than the special loss variation time. Gaming machine. The specific game state is a state in which a special game based on the result of the first winning lottery is more likely to be executed than a special game based on the result of the second winning lottery.
