FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram of the gaming machine of the present embodiment. The gaming machine of the present embodiment is controlled by a control board including a main board 100 (game control means) and a sub board 102. The functions of each board such as the main board 100 and the sub board 102 include hardware such as various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ASIC (gate array, etc.), ROM (an example of information storage medium), or RAM. It is realized by software consisting of a given program stored in advance in a ROM or the like.

The main board 100 has inputs such as a pass gate sensor 104, a first start winning opening sensor 106, a second starting winning opening sensor 108, a third starting winning opening sensor 110, a specific area sensor 112, a normal area sensor 114, and a payout sensor 116. In response to the input signal from the means, various calculations for executing the game are performed, and based on the calculation results, the status display drive device 120, the ordinary accessory drive device 122, the special accessory drive device 124, and the specific accessory drive device 124 are performed. It controls the operation of output means such as the drive device 128 and the payout device 130.

Further, the sub-board 102 receives a signal sent from the main board 100 and an input signal from the effect button switch 150, performs various operations for executing an effect according to the progress of the game, and the calculation result. Based on the above, the operation of the staging device 176 such as the staging display device 170, the sound device 172, and the staging object driving device 174 is controlled.

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

The random number generation means 210 is a means for generating a random number value for lottery, and is realized by a random number generator that generates a hardware random number or a program that generates a software random number. The software random number can be generated, for example, based on the count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to circulate in a predetermined count range). In the present embodiment, the "random number value" is not only a value that randomly occurs in a mathematical sense, but also that the generation itself is regular, but the acquisition timing and the like are irregular, so that it is practical. Also includes values that can function as random numbers.

The ordinary lottery means 220 acquires an ordinary random number value from the random number generating means 210 based on the detection signal input from the passing gate sensor 104 that detects the game balls passing through the passing gate 48 one by one, and the main memory. It is stored in the ordinary random number storage means 2912 of 290, and an ordinary lottery is performed to determine whether or not the ordinary random number value read from the ordinary random number storage means 2912 is correct or not.

Specifically, the ordinary random number storage means 2912 is provided with four ordinary reserved storage areas 1 to 4 ordinary reserved storage areas 4 as storage areas for storing the acquired ordinary random number values, and the ordinary reserved storage area 1 is provided. One ordinary hold storage area is provided as a storage area for storing the ordinary random number value read from the above and performing the ordinary lottery until the variable display and the stop display of the ordinary symbol are completed. Then, when the ordinary lottery means 220 acquires the ordinary random number value from the random number generating means 210, the acquired ordinary random number value is not stored in any of the ordinary hold storage area 1 to the ordinary hold storage area 4. Is first stored in the normal hold storage area 1. Then, when the normal random number value is stored in the normal hold storage area 1, the normal symbol is not in the variable display or the stop display, that is, the normal random number value is not stored in the normal hold storage area, and the normal accessory is used. When the control for opening the movable member 52 is not being executed, the normal random number value is immediately read from the normal hold storage area 1 and the normal lottery is performed, and the normal random number value obtained by the normal lottery is used as the normal hold storage area. Store in. On the other hand, whether the normal symbol is in the variable display or the stop display, that is, the normal random number value is stored in the normal hold storage area, or the control for opening the movable member of the normal accessory 52 is being executed. In that case, the normal random number value is held in the normal hold storage area 1.

Then, when the detection signal is further input from the passing gate sensor 104 and the normal random number value is acquired in the state where the normal random number value is held in the normal hold storage area 1, the normal lottery means 220 normally holds the storage. The normal hold storage area 1 to the normal hold storage area 1 to the condition that the number of the normal random number values held in the area 1 to the normal hold storage area 4 is less than 4, that is, the normal hold storage area 1 to the condition is that the number of the normal hold storage area 4 is less than 4. The ordinary random number value is stored in the ordinary reserved storage area which is the ordinary reserved storage area in which the ordinary random number value is not reserved and has the smallest order number in the ordinary reserved storage area 4.

Then, when the fluctuation display and the stop display of the normal symbol are completed, the normal lottery means 220 erases the normal random number value stored in the normal hold storage area, and the normal random number value is held in the normal hold storage area 1. In this case, on condition that the control for opening the movable member of the normal accessory 52 is not being executed, the normal random number value is read from the normal hold storage area 1 and the normal lottery is performed, and the normal lottery is performed. Store the numerical value in the normal hold storage area. Here, when the ordinary random number value remains after the ordinary reserved storage area 2, the remaining ordinary random number value is moved from the original ordinary reserved storage area to the ordinary reserved storage area having one smaller ordinal number. For example, when a normal random number value remains in the normal hold storage area 2 to the normal hold storage area 3, the normal random number value is moved to the normal hold storage area 1 to the normal hold storage area 2.

In this way, in the ordinary random number storage means 2912, the ordinary random number values for which the ordinary lottery has been performed are held up to one in the ordinary reserved storage area, and the ordinary random number values for which the ordinary lottery has not been performed are the ordinary reserved storage areas 1 to ordinary. It is reserved up to 4 in the reserved storage area 4.

The details of the ordinary lottery will be described below. The ordinary lottery means 220 performs ordinary hit determination processing, ordinary variation pattern determination processing, and the like as ordinary lottery.

The normal hit determination process is a process for determining whether or not a normal hit is correct. In the ordinary winning determination process, the ordinary lottery means 220 refers to which of the plurality of types of ordinary lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 of the main memory 290 to perform the random number determination process. Is determined according to the game state.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the ordinary lottery table A and the ordinary lottery table B shown in FIGS. 6A to 6B are stored in the lottery table storage means 2910, and 0 in each ordinary lottery table. A normal hit or a loss is associated with each of the 100 ordinary random numbers of ~ 99.

In detail, in the ordinary lottery table A shown in FIG. 6A, when the gaming state at the time of performing the ordinary lottery for the ordinary random number value is the normal state or the special state, that is, the ordinary figure lottery state is the ordinary figure low probability state. The correspondence between the normal hit or the loss and the plurality of random values is set so that the normal hit is selected in a certain case and the normal hit is won with a probability of about 13/20.

Further, in the normal lottery table B shown in FIG. 6B, when the gaming state at the time of performing the normal lottery for the normal random number value is the first time saving state, the second time saving state, the first probability changing state, or the second probability changing state. That is, it is selected when the normal figure lottery state is the normal figure high accuracy state, and the correspondence relationship between the normal hit or loss and the normal random number value of 0 to 99 is selected so that the normal hit is won with a probability of about 19/20. It is set.

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

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

The normal variation pattern determination process is a process of determining which of a plurality of variation patterns the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol should be according to the gaming state. In the normal fluctuation pattern determination process, the normal lottery means 220 normally changes the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol when the game state is the normal state or the special state, that is, when the normal figure lottery state is the normal figure low probability state. When pattern 1 is determined and the gaming state is the first time saving state, the second time saving state, the first probability changing state or the second probability changing state, that is, when the normal drawing lottery state is the normal drawing high probability state, it is normal. The fluctuation pattern of the symbol is determined to be the normal fluctuation pattern 2.

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

In the normal symbol display control process, the normal display control means 222 blinks the two lamps of the normal symbol display unit 82 until the fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol determined in the normal fluctuation pattern determination process elapses. By doing so, the normal symbol is displayed in a variable manner, and the normal symbol is stopped and displayed by turning on or off the two lamps of the normal symbol display unit 82 depending on whether or not the normal hit is won in the normal hit determination process. , The normal symbol display unit 82 displays the result of the normal lottery.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol is the normal fluctuation pattern 1, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is set to 5 seconds, and when the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol is the normal fluctuation pattern 2. The fluctuation time of a normal symbol is set to 0.5 seconds. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state at the time when the normal lottery is performed is the normal state or the special state, that is, when the normal figure lottery state is the normal figure low probability state, the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol is normal. By determining the variation pattern 1, the variation time of the normal symbol is set to 5 seconds, and the game state at the time when the normal lottery is performed is the first time reduction state, the second time reduction state, the first probability variation state, or the second probability variation. In the case of a state, that is, when the normal figure lottery state is the normal figure high accuracy state, the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol is determined to be the normal fluctuation pattern 2, and the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is set to 0.5 seconds. Therefore, when the gaming state is the first time saving state, the second time saving state, the first probability changing state, or the second probability changing state, the execution opportunity of the normal lottery comes more frequently.

In the normal hold display control process, the normal display control means 222 turns on, off, or blinks the two lamps of the normal hold display unit 84 according to the number of normal random number values stored in the normal random number storage means 2912. Depending on the combination of, 0 to 4 normal hold numbers are displayed.

The ordinary bonus control means 224 is a means for controlling the ordinary bonus drive device 122 based on the lottery result of the ordinary lottery, and performs the ordinary bonus control process 1, the ordinary bonus control process 2, and the like.

In the normal character control process 1, when the game state is the normal state or the special state, that is, when the normal figure lottery state is the normal figure low probability state, the normal symbol is stopped and displayed in a mode indicating the winning of the normal figure. Taking this as an opportunity, the drive control of the ordinary accessory driving device 122 is performed so that the ordinary accessory 52 is opened and then returned to the closed state until one second elapses.

In the normal bonus control process 2, when the gaming state is the first time saving state, the second time saving state, the first probability changing state or the second probability changing state, that is, when the normal drawing lottery state is the normal drawing high probability state. When the normal symbol is stopped and displayed in a mode indicating winning of a normal hit, the normal bonus 52 is opened and then returned to the closed state until 2 seconds have elapsed. Drive control is performed.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the normal bonus 52 operates so that the normal bonus control process 2 makes it easier for the game ball to enter the second starting winning opening 50 than the normal bonus control process 1. do.

The special lottery means 230 is for special lottery from the random number generation means 210 based on the detection signal input from the first start winning opening sensor 106 that detects the game balls entering the first starting winning opening 46 one by one. The random number value is acquired and stored as the first special random number value in the special random number storage means 2914 of the main memory 290. Further, the special lottery means 230 is based on the fact that a detection signal is input from the second start winning opening sensor 108 that detects the game balls entering the second starting winning opening 50 one by one, or the third starting winning opening 70. Based on the detection signal input from the third start winning opening sensor 110 that detects the game balls entering the market one by one, the random number value for special lottery is acquired from the random number generation means 210, and the special random number storage means 2914. It is stored as a second special random number value in. Then, the special lottery means 230 uses the first special random number value or the second special random number value read from the special random number storage means 2914 to perform a special lottery for determining whether or not the jackpot is successful.

Specifically, the special random number storage means 2914 is provided with four first special reserved storage areas 1 to 1 special reserved storage area 4 as storage areas for storing the acquired first special random number value. As a storage area for storing the first special random number value read from the first special hold storage area 1 and performing a special lottery until the variable display and stop display of the first special symbol are completed, one first special hold A storage area is provided, and as a storage area for storing the acquired second special random number value, four second special reserved storage areas 1 to 2 special reserved storage area 4 are provided, and a second special reserved storage area is provided. One second special reserved storage area is provided as a storage area for storing the second special random number value read from the reserved storage area 1 and performing a special lottery until the variation display and the stop display of the second special symbol are completed. ing.

Then, when the special lottery means 230 acquires the random number value for special lottery based on the input of the detection signal from the first start winning opening sensor 106, the special lottery means 230 of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 In the state where the first special random number value is not stored in any of them, the acquired special lottery random number value is first stored in the first special reserved storage area 1 as the first special random number value. Then, when the first special random number value is stored in the first special reserved storage area 1, the first special symbol is not in the variable display or the stop display, that is, the first special random number value is stored in the first special reserved storage area. Is not stored, the game state is not the special game state, and the small hit game is not being executed, the first special random number value is immediately read from the first special reserved storage area 1 to perform a special lottery, and a special lottery is performed. The first special random number value obtained by lottery is stored in the first special reserved storage area. On the other hand, whether the first special symbol is in the variable display or the stop display, that is, the first special random number value is stored in the first special reserved storage area, or the gaming state is the special gaming state, or small. When the winning game is being executed, the first special random number value is reserved in the first special reserved storage area 1.

Then, when the detection signal is further input from the first start winning opening sensor 106 in the state where the first special random number value is held in the first special reserved storage area 1, the special lottery random number value is acquired. The special lottery means 230 is provided on the condition that the number of the first special random number values reserved in the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 is less than four, that is, the first special reserved number. The first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 is a reserved storage area in which the first special random number value is not reserved and the order number is the smallest, provided that the number is less than four. 1 Store as the first special random number value in the special hold storage area.

The time is set to 1 second, and it is more difficult for the game ball to enter the second start winning opening 50 than in the first time reduction state, the second time reduction state, the first probability change state, and the second probability change state.

For the special lottery, the winning probability of the jackpot is set as low as about 1/150, and the fluctuation time of the first special symbol is the fluctuation time according to the number of reservations, while the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is 591 seconds. In the normal state, it is more advantageous for the player to hit left so that the game ball enters the first starting winning opening 46.

Then, in the normal state, 0 is set in the storage value of the probability variation number counter 2928 that counts the probability variation number, which is the number of special lottery (first number of times) performed in the special map high accuracy state, and the operation is performed in the normal map high accuracy state. 0 is set in the storage value of the auxiliary number counter 2930 that counts the auxiliary number of times (the second number) of the special lottery.

The special game state is started based on the winning of the jackpot in the normal state, the first time saving state, the second time saving state, the special state, the first probability changing state, and the second probability changing state, and is started in advance according to the type of the jackpot symbol. It ends when a jackpot game including a predetermined number of rounds (number of executions) of round games is executed.

Specifically, the special gaming state is started based on the winning of the 5th round normal symbol, and the special gaming state is terminated on condition that the 5th round game of the 1st to 5th rounds is executed.

In addition, a special gaming state is started based on the winning of any of the 10-round normal symbol, the 10-round probabilistic symbol A to the 10-round probabilistic symbol C, and the 10-round round game of the 1st to 10th rounds is executed. The special game state ends on condition that it has been done.

The 1st time saving state is started when the special gaming state started based on the winning of any of the 5th round normal symbol and the 10th round normal symbol is completed, and when the jackpot is won in the 1st time saving state. It will be transferred to the special game state. Then, in the first time saving state, the game state transition control means 250 sets the special figure lottery state to the special figure low probability state and sets the normal figure lottery state to the normal figure high probability state.

In detail, in the first time saving state, as described above, for the ordinary lottery, the winning probability per ordinary is set as high as about 19/20, the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol is set to 0.5 seconds, and the ordinary role is set. The opening time of the object 52 is set to 2 seconds, and most of the game balls falling in the game area 4 on the right side can enter the second start winning opening 50.

Regarding the special lottery, although the winning probability of the jackpot is set as low as about 1/150, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is often extremely short, so the first time saving state is the second start winning opening. It is more advantageous for the player to hit right so that the game ball enters 50.

Here, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, the probability variation number and the number of assists set after the end of the special gaming state are predetermined according to the type of the jackpot symbol and the gaming state when the jackpot is won. For the 5-round normal symbol and the 10-round normal symbol, the probability variation number is set to 0 and the auxiliary number is set to 40 regardless of the game state when the jackpot is won.

Therefore, when the special gaming state started based on the winning of any of the 5-round normal symbol and the 10-round normal symbol is completed regardless of the gaming state, the gaming state is shifted to the first time-saving state and the probability changes. 0 is set in the storage value of the count counter 2928, and 40 is set in the storage value of the auxiliary count counter 2930.

Then, every time the special lottery is performed in the first time saving state, the decrement update is performed by subtracting the value corresponding to one special lottery (for example, 1) from the stored value of the auxiliary number counter 2930. Then, when the number of times the special lottery is performed reaches 40 times without winning the jackpot in the first time saving state, the stored value of the auxiliary number counter 2930 becomes 0, so that the normal figure lottery state is the normal figure low probability state. By setting to, the first time saving state ends and the normal state starts.

The special state is started when the special gaming state started based on the winning of either the 10-round probability variation symbol B or the 10-round probability variation symbol C in the first time reduction state or the second time reduction state ends. , If you win a big hit in a special state, you will be transferred to a special game state. Further, it is restarted when the special gaming state started based on the winning of the 10-round probability variation symbol C in the special state is completed. Then, in the special state, the game state transition control means 250 sets the special figure lottery state to the special figure high accuracy state and sets the normal figure lottery state to the normal figure low accuracy state.

In detail, in the special state, as described above, for the normal lottery, the winning probability per normal is set as low as about 13/20, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is set to 5 seconds, and the normal character 52 is opened. The time is set to 1 second, and most of the game balls that fall in the game area 4 on the right side cannot enter the second start winning opening 50, but the game balls that cannot enter the second starting winning opening 50 are the third. It is possible to enter the starting winning opening 70.

As for the special lottery, the winning probability of the jackpot is set as high as about 1/50, and the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is often extremely short. Therefore, in the special state, the game ball is placed in the third start winning opening 70. It is in a game state that is advantageous to the player to hit right to enter.

Then, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, for the 10-round probability variation symbol B and the 10-round probability variation symbol C, when the game state when the jackpot is won is the first time reduction state or the second time reduction state. , The number of probable changes is set to 70, and the number of auxiliary times is set to 0. Further, for the 10-round probability variation symbol C, the probability variation number is set to 70 times and the auxiliary number is set to 0 even when the gaming state when the jackpot is won is a special state.

Therefore, when the special gaming state started based on the winning of either the 10-round probability variation symbol B or the 10-round probability variation symbol C in the 1st time reduction state or the 2nd time reduction state ends, 10 rounds are also performed in the special state. When the special gaming state started based on the winning of the probability variation symbol C ends, the gaming state is shifted to the special state, 70 is set in the storage value of the probability variation counter 2928, and the auxiliary count counter 2930 is stored. The value is set to 0.

Then, every time the special lottery is performed in the special state, the decrement update is performed by subtracting the value (for example, 1) corresponding to one special lottery from the stored value of the probability variation number counter 2928. Then, when the number of times the special lottery is performed without winning the jackpot in the special state reaches 70 times, the stored value of the probability variation number counter 2928 becomes 0, so that the special figure lottery state is set to the special figure low probability state. By doing so, the special state ends and the normal state starts.

The first probabilistic state is started when the special gaming state started based on the winning of the 10-round probabilistic symbol B in the special state ends, and when the jackpot is won in the first probabilistic state, it becomes the special gaming state. Will be migrated. Then, in the first probability change state, the game state transition control means 250 sets the special figure lottery state to the special figure high probability state and sets the normal figure lottery state to the normal figure high probability state.

In detail, in the first probability change state, as described above, for the normal lottery, the winning probability per normal is set as high as about 19/20, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is set to 0.5 seconds, and the normal role is set. The opening time of the object 52 is set to 2 seconds, and most of the game balls falling in the game area 4 on the right side can enter the second start winning opening 50.

As for the special lottery, the winning probability of the jackpot is set as high as about 1/50, and the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is often extremely short. It is more advantageous for the player to hit right so that the ball enters.

Then, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, for the 10-round probability variation symbol B, when the gaming state when the jackpot is won is a special state, the probability variation number is set to 70 times and the number of assists is 20. Set to times.

Therefore, when the special gaming state started based on the winning of the 10-round probability variation symbol B in the special state ends, the gaming state is shifted to the first probability variation state, and 70 is stored in the storage value of the probability variation counter 2928. It is set, and 20 is set in the storage value of the auxiliary number counter 2930.

Then, every time a special lottery is performed in the first probability change state, a decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one special lottery from the storage value of the probability change number counter 2928 and the storage value of the auxiliary number counter 2930. Is done. When the number of times the special lottery is performed without winning the jackpot in the first probability change state reaches 20 times, the storage value of the probability change number counter 2928 is 50, but the storage value of the auxiliary number counter 2930 is 0. Therefore, the special figure lottery state is maintained in the special figure high probability state, but the normal figure lottery state is set to the normal figure low probability state, so that the first probability change state ends and the special state starts. ..

Therefore, when the storage value of the auxiliary count counter 2930 reaches the threshold value in the first probability variation state to shift to the special state, the special state is started in the state where the storage value of the probability variation counter 2928 is 50. When the number of times the special lottery is performed in the special state reaches 50 times, the storage value of the probability variation number counter 2928 becomes 0. Therefore, the special figure lottery state is set to the special figure low probability state, so that the special state is changed. It ends and the normal state starts.

The second probabilistic state is that the special gaming state started based on the winning of the 10-round probabilistic symbol A in any of the normal state, the first time saving state, the second time saving state, and the special state has ended, or the second. The second probabilistic change is started when the special gaming state started based on the winning of any of the 10 round probabilistic symbols A, the 10 round probabilistic symbols B, and the 10 round probabilistic symbols C in the 1 probabilistic state is completed. If you win a big hit in the state, you will be transferred to the special game state. Further, in the second probability variation state, the special gaming state started based on the winning of any of the 10 round probability variation symbol A, the 10 round probability variation symbol B, and the 10 round probability variation symbol C in the second probability variation state has ended. It will be restarted at the opportunity. Then, in the second probability change state, the game state transition control means 250 sets the special figure lottery state to the special figure high probability state and sets the normal figure lottery state to the normal figure high probability state.

In detail, in the second probability change state, as described above, for the normal lottery, the winning probability per normal is set as high as about 19/20, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is set to 0.5 seconds, and the normal role is set. The opening time of the object 52 is set to 2 seconds, and most of the game balls falling in the game area 4 on the right side can enter the second start winning opening 50.

As for the special lottery, the winning probability of the jackpot is set as high as about 1/50, and the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is often extremely short. It is more advantageous for the player to hit right so that the ball enters.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, for the 10-round probability variation symbol A, the probability variation number is set to 70 times and the number of assists is 10,000 times regardless of the gaming state when the jackpot is won. Is set to. For the 10-round probability variation symbol B and the 10-round probability variation symbol C, when the game state when the jackpot is won is the first probability variation state or the second probability variation state, the probability variation number is set to 70 and the number of assists is set to 70. Is set to 10,000 times.

Therefore, when the special gaming state started based on the winning of the 10-round probability variation symbol A is completed regardless of the gaming state, the 10-round probability variation symbol B or the 10-round probability variation is also completed in the first probability variation state or the second probability variation state. When the special gaming state started based on the winning of the symbol C is completed, the gaming state is shifted to the second probability variation state, 70 is set in the storage value of the probability variation counter 2928, and the auxiliary count counter 2930 is set. The storage value is set to 10000.

Then, every time a special lottery is performed in the second probability change state, a decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one special lottery from the storage value of the probability change number counter 2928 and the storage value of the auxiliary number counter 2930. Is done. Then, when the number of times the special lottery is performed reaches 70 times without winning the jackpot in the second probability variation state, the storage value of the auxiliary count counter 2930 is 9930, but the storage value of the probability variation counter 2928 is 0. Therefore, the normal map lottery state is maintained in the normal map high accuracy state, but the special map lottery state is set to the special map low accuracy state, so that the second probability change state ends and the second time saving state starts. Will be done.

The second time-saving state is started when the second probability-changing state ends when the storage value of the probability-changing number counter 2928 becomes 0 in the second probability-changing state, and when a big hit is won in the second time-saving state, it is a special gaming state. Will be migrated to. Then, in the second time saving state, the game state transition control means 250 sets the special figure lottery state to the special figure low probability state and sets the normal figure lottery state to the normal figure high probability state.

In detail, in the second time saving state, as described above, for the ordinary lottery, the winning probability per ordinary is set as high as about 19/20, the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol is set to 0.5 seconds, and the ordinary role is set. The opening time of the object 52 is set to 2 seconds, and most of the game balls falling in the game area 4 on the right side can enter the second start winning opening 50.

Regarding the special lottery, although the winning probability of the jackpot is set as low as about 1/150, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is often extremely short, so the second time saving state is the second start winning opening. It is more advantageous for the player to hit right so that the game ball enters 50.

Since the second time saving state is started when the storage value of the probability variation counter 2928 becomes 0 in the second probability variation state, the storage value of the probability variation counter 2928 is 0 and the storage value of the auxiliary count counter 2930 is 0. It starts in the state of 9930.

Then, every time the special lottery is performed in the second time saving state, the decrement update is performed by subtracting the value corresponding to one special lottery (for example, 1) from the stored value of the auxiliary number counter 2930. Then, when the number of times the special lottery is performed without winning the big hit in the second time saving state reaches 9930 times, the stored value of the auxiliary number counter 2930 becomes 0, so that the normal figure lottery state is the normal figure low probability state. By setting to, the second time saving state ends and the normal state starts.

However, in the second time saving state, the winning probability of the big hit in the special lottery is set to about 1/150, but the big hit is won and special before the number of times the special lottery is performed in the second time saving state reaches 9930 times. In most cases, the gaming state is started, and there is almost no transition from the second time saving state to the normal state. That is, the second time saving state is substantially continued until the jackpot is won.

The jackpot game executing means 260 executes one of the jackpot game A to the jackpot game C based on the fact that the jackpot is won in the special lottery.

The jackpot game A is executed based on the fact that the 5 round normal symbol is won in the special lottery, and the jackpot game executing means 260 is a round predetermined for the 5 round normal symbol as the upper limit of the round counter 2933 of the main memory 290. A value (for example, 5) corresponding to 5 times, which is a number, is set, and each time the special accessory 56 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in each round, one round is stored in the stored value of the round counter 2933. Increment update is performed to add a value corresponding to a number (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 5), the jackpot game A ends.

In detail, in the jackpot game A, in the round game of each round from the first round to the fifth round, it is specified whether the opening timer 2934 of the main memory 290 counts 29 seconds after the special accessory 56 is opened. When the area sensor 112 or the normal area sensor 114 detects the entry of one game ball, a value corresponding to one game ball (for example, 1) is added. The value of the large winning number counter 2936 is the upper limit value (for example). When 10) is reached, the drive control of the special accessory drive device 124 is performed so that the special accessory 56 is closed. Then, assuming that the end condition for one round is satisfied, "1" is added to the value of the round counter 2933.

The jackpot game B is executed based on the fact that the 10-round normal symbol is won in the special lottery, and the jackpot game executing means 260 is a round predetermined for the 10-round normal symbol as the upper limit of the round counter 2933 of the main memory 290. A value corresponding to 10 times (for example, 10), which is a number, is set, and each time the special accessory 56 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in each round, one round is stored in the storage value of the round counter 2933. Increment update is performed to add a value corresponding to a number (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), the jackpot game B ends.

In detail, in the jackpot game B, in the round game of each round from the first round to the tenth round, the opening timer 2934 of the main memory 290 counts 29 seconds after the special accessory 56 is opened, or the big hit game B. When the value of the winning number counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), the drive control of the special accessory driving device 124 is performed so that the special accessory 56 is closed. Then, assuming that the end condition for one round is satisfied, "1" is added to the value of the round counter 2933.

The jackpot game C is executed based on the fact that any one of the 10-round probability variation symbol A to the 10-round probability variation symbol C is won in the special lottery, and the jackpot game execution means 260 is set as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933 of the main memory 290. A value (for example, 10) corresponding to 10 rounds, which is a predetermined number of rounds, is set for the 10-round probability variation symbol A to the 10-round probability variation symbol C, and is predetermined in each round of the first round to the ninth round. Every time the special bonus 56 completes the operation in the embodiment, and when the special bonus 56 and the specific bonus 68 complete the operation in the predetermined mode in the tenth round, one time is stored in the stored value of the round counter 2933. Increment update is performed to add a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of rounds of. Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), the jackpot game C ends.

In detail, in the jackpot game C, in the round game of each round from the 1st round to the 9th round, the opening timer 2934 of the main memory 290 counts 29 seconds after the special accessory 56 is opened, or the big hit game C. When the value of the winning number counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), the drive control of the special accessory driving device 124 is performed so that the special accessory 56 is closed. Further, in the round game of the 10th round, the opening timer 2934 of the main memory 290 counts 29 seconds after the special bonus 56 and the specific bonus 68 are opened, or the value of the large prize counter 2936 is the upper limit. When the value (for example, 10) is reached, the drive control of the special accessory drive device 124 and the specific accessory drive device 128 is performed so that the special accessory 56 and the specific bonus 68 are closed. Then, assuming that the end condition for one round is satisfied, "1" is added to the value of the round counter 2933.

Here, in the present embodiment, in the jackpot game C, if it is detected that even one game ball has entered the specific area 64 in the round game of the tenth round, the game state is in the special state after the end of the special game state. , 1st probability change state or 2nd probability change state, but if it is not detected that the game ball has entered the specific area 64 in the round game of the 10th round, the game state is normal after the end of the special game state. It is transferred to the state.

However, in the jackpot game C, in the round game of the 10th round, the special bonus 56 and the specific bonus 68 are maintained in the open state for 29 seconds, so that the game ball is won in the big prize opening 54. If they are fired continuously, the game ball can almost certainly enter the specific area 64.

The small hit game executing means 262 executes the small hit game A or the small hit game B based on the fact that the small hit is won in the special lottery.

The small hit game A is executed based on the fact that the small hit symbol A is won in the special lottery, and the small hit game executing means 262 has a predetermined number of rounds for the small hit symbol A as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933. When a value corresponding to one time (for example, 1) is set and the special accessory 56 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in one round, the stored value of the round counter 2933 corresponds to the number of rounds for one time. Increment update is performed to add a value (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 1), the small hit game A ends.

In detail, in the small hit game A, in the round game of one round, the opening timer 2934 counts 0.1 seconds after the special accessory 56 is opened, or the value of the large winning number counter 2936 is the upper limit. When (for example, 10) is reached, the drive control of the special accessory driving device 124 is performed so that the special accessory 56 is closed. Then, assuming that the end condition for one round is satisfied, "1" is added to the value of the round counter 2933.

The small hit game B is executed based on the fact that the small hit symbol B is won in the special lottery, and the small hit game executing means 262 has a predetermined number of rounds for the small hit symbol B as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933. When a value corresponding to one time (for example, 1) is set and the special accessory 56 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in one round, the stored value of the round counter 2933 corresponds to the number of rounds for one time. Increment update is performed to add a value (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 1), the small hit game B ends.

In detail, in the small hit game B, in the round game of one round, the opening timer 2934 counts 0.2 seconds after the special accessory 56 is opened, or the value of the large winning number counter 2936 is the upper limit. When (for example, 10) is reached, the drive control of the special accessory driving device 124 is performed so that the special accessory 56 is closed. Then, assuming that the end condition for one round is satisfied, "1" is added to the value of the round counter 2933.

The payout control means 270 includes a detection signal from the first start winning opening sensor 106, a detection signal from the second starting winning opening sensor 108, a detection signal from the third starting winning opening sensor 110, and a detection signal from the specific area sensor 112. Based on the input of the detection signal from the normal area sensor 114, the payout device 130 is controlled to pay out a number of game balls corresponding to a predetermined number of prize balls for each detection signal. Specifically, the payout control means 270 transmits a command to make the payout device 130 pay out four game balls each time the first start winning opening sensor 106 detects the winning of one game ball, and the second Every time the start winning opening sensor 108 or the third starting winning opening sensor 110 detects the winning of one game ball, the payout device 130 sends a command to pay out one game ball, and the specific area sensor 112 or Every time the normal area sensor 114 detects the winning of one game ball, the payout device 130 transmits a command to pay out 15 game balls.

By changing the background image on the liquid crystal display 32 and playing back and displaying the staging video in which the character image operates, a special lottery staging according to the type of staging pattern can be performed. This is performed on the liquid crystal display 32. The downward arrow in the figure indicates that each of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is being displayed in a variable manner at high speed.

In detail, in the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 uses the effect lottery random value as a result of inputting a command according to the preliminary determination result or a command according to the result of the special lottery from the main board 100. , A plurality of types of random values such as the first half effect pattern determination random value and the second half effect pattern determination random value are acquired, and the first half effect pattern determination process and the second half effect pattern determination process are performed as the effect lottery.

The first half effect pattern determination process determines which of the plurality of types of first half effect patterns is used as the first half effect pattern corresponding to the first half part of the special lottery effect based on the acquired one first half effect pattern determination random value. It is a process to do. Then, in the first half effect pattern determination process, which of the plurality of types of first half effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 of the sub memory 310 is referred to for the effect control means 300 to perform the random number determination process. Is selected according to the first half fluctuation pattern determined by the first half fluctuation pattern determination process.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the first half effect pattern is stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 in response to the case where the result of the first half variation pattern determination process on the main board 100 is each of the first half variation pattern 1 to the first half variation pattern 8. Eight types of first half effect pattern lottery tables of lottery table A to first half effect pattern lottery table H are stored (not shown). In each first half effect pattern lottery table, any one of a plurality of types of first half effect patterns is associated with each of the 100 first half effect pattern determination random values from 0 to 99. Then, when the result of the first half variation pattern determination process is the first half variation pattern 1, the effect control means 300 selects the first half effect pattern lottery table A, and when the result of the first half variation pattern determination process is the first half variation pattern 2. The first half effect pattern lottery table B is selected, and so on, the first half effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the first half variation pattern determined by the first half variation pattern determination process is selected.

Then, the effect control means 300 refers to the selected first half effect pattern lottery table and determines which of the plurality of types of the first half effect pattern the one first half effect pattern determination random value is associated with, thereby determining a plurality of types. One first half effect pattern is determined from the first half effect pattern of.

The second-half effect pattern determination process determines which of the plurality of types of second-half effect patterns is used as the second-half effect pattern corresponding to the second-half portion of the special lottery effect based on the acquired one second-half effect pattern determination random value. It is a process to do. Then, in the latter half effect pattern determination process, the effect control means 300 determines which of the plurality of types of the latter half effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 is referred to for the second half effect pattern determination process. Select according to the latter half fluctuation pattern determined by the pattern determination process.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, it corresponds to the case where the result of the latter half variation pattern determination processing in the main board 100 is each of the reachless variation pattern 1 to the reachless variation pattern 3 and the reach variation pattern 1 to the reach variation pattern 5. The effect lottery table storage means 3112 stores eight types of second half effect pattern lottery tables A to the second half effect pattern lottery table H (not shown). Then, in each second half effect pattern lottery table, for each of the 100 second half effect pattern determination random values from 0 to 99, a plurality of types of reachless effect patterns (unwinning mode) and a plurality of types are used as a plurality of types of second half effect patterns. Any one of the reach effect patterns (common modes) of is associated with the above. Then, when the result of the latter half variation pattern determination process is the reachless variation pattern 1, the effect control means 300 selects the latter half effect pattern lottery table A, and the result of the latter half variation pattern determination process is the reach variation pattern 1. In this case, the second half effect pattern lottery table D is selected, and so on, the second half effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the second half variation pattern determined by the second half variation pattern determination process is selected.

Then, the staging control means 300 refers to the selected second half staging pattern lottery table, and which of the plurality of types of reachless staging patterns and the plurality of types of reach staging patterns is associated with one second half staging pattern determination random value. By determining, one type of non-reach effect pattern or one reach effect pattern is determined from a plurality of types of reach-less effect patterns and a plurality of types of reach effect patterns.

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

Further, the effect time is set for each of the plurality of types of reachless effect patterns and the plurality of types of reach effect patterns, and the effect time of the plurality of types of reachless effect patterns that can be determined by the latter half effect pattern lottery table A is set. All of them are set to 1 second, which is the same as the fluctuation time of the non-reach variation pattern 1, and the effect time of a plurality of types of reach effect patterns that can be determined by the second half effect pattern lottery table E is the variation time of the reach variation pattern 1. The production time of a plurality of types of non-reach effect patterns or a plurality of types of reach effect patterns that can be determined by each second half effect pattern lottery table, such as being set to the same 20 seconds, corresponds to each second half effect pattern lottery table. It is set to be the same as the variation time of the non-reach variation pattern or the reach variation pattern.

Then, in the special lottery effect processing, the effect control means 300 performs the special lottery effect in accordance with the start of the variable display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 86 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 90. The special lottery is based on the total production time of the production time according to the first half effect pattern determined by the first half effect pattern determination process and the effect time according to the second half effect pattern determined by the second half effect pattern determination process. Perform the production. As a result, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 86 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 90 is synchronized with the effect time of the special lottery effect.

For example, if a loss occurs in the jackpot determination process and a reachless effect pattern is determined in the second half effect pattern determination process, the first special symbol or the second special symbol display unit in the first special symbol display unit 86 With the start of the variable display of the second special symbol in 90, as shown in FIG. 15 (B), the variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and FIG. 15 (C) ), First, the left staging symbol 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed so as to be slightly shaken without being completely stopped in any aspect (the aspect showing "5" in FIG. 15C). As shown in FIG. 15 (D), the right effect symbol 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode (non-reach mode) different from that of the left effect symbol 350.

Then, as shown in FIG. 15 (E), the middle effect symbol 352 is displayed before the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 86 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 90 is stopped and displayed. Temporary stop display is performed in a mode (missing mode) different from that of the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354, and the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 86 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 90 is stopped. As shown in FIG. 15 (F), the middle effect symbol 352 is completely stopped in a mode different from the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354 (loss mode) at almost the same timing as being displayed. Confirmed stop is displayed.

Further, for example, when a jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process, or when a loss occurs in the jackpot determination process and the reach effect pattern is determined in the second half effect pattern determination process, the first special symbol display unit is used. As shown in FIG. 16A, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect are produced with the start of the variable display of the first special symbol in 86 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 90. The variable display of the symbol 354 is started, the left effect symbol 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed as shown in FIG. 16 (B), and then the middle effect symbol 352 is variablely displayed as shown in FIG. 16 (C). While still, the right staging symbol 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (reach mode) as the left staging symbol 350. Then, as shown in FIG. 16D, the reproduction display of the effect moving image corresponding to the determined reach effect pattern is started, and the first special symbol or the second special symbol display unit 90 in the first special symbol display unit 86 is started. The playback display of the staging video is completed within the fluctuation time of the second special symbol in.

Specifically, in the example of FIG. 16D, a production video in which the main character A fights against the enemy character B is reproduced and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, and this production video is reproduced and displayed. In this case, instead of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the left effect symbol 350 is supported in the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. The reduced left effect symbol 360, the reduced middle effect symbol 362 corresponding to the middle effect symbol 352, and the reduced right effect symbol 364 corresponding to the right effect symbol 354 are displayed. That is, as shown in FIG. 16D, the reduced left effect symbol 360 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (reach mode), while the reduced effect symbol 362 is displayed in a variable manner.

If the jackpot is won, as shown in FIG. 16E, a staging video in which the main character A wins the enemy character B is reproduced and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. In the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the reduced left effect symbol 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (big hit mode) as the reduced left effect symbol 360 and the reduced right effect symbol 364, so that the jackpot is won. The player is tentatively notified.

Then, the staging video in which the main character A defeats the enemy character B ends, and as shown in FIG. 16F, the left staging symbol 350 temporarily stopped and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the middle staging. After the symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed, as shown in FIG. 16 (G), the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. At the same time, the speaker 14 outputs a sound effect for notifying the player that the jackpot has been won, so that the player is deterministically notified that the jackpot has been won.

On the other hand, if the jackpot is not won, as shown in FIG. 16H, a staging video in which the main character A is defeated by the enemy character B is played in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. In the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the reduced left effect symbol 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode different from the reduced left effect symbol 360 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 (reach loss mode), resulting in loss. The player is tentatively notified.

Then, the video in which the main character A is defeated by the enemy character B ends, and as shown in FIG. 16 (I), the left effect symbol 350 and the middle effect symbol temporarily stopped and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. After 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed, as shown in FIG. 16J, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. By doing so, the player is definitely notified that the loss has occurred.

Here, in the special lottery production process, a common production video may be played back and displayed both when a big hit is won and when a loss occurs. Therefore, when the common production video is played back and displayed, It is possible to greatly increase the player's expectation for winning the jackpot.

In this way, in the present embodiment, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are changed on the liquid crystal display 32 by the effect pattern according to the variation type of the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the state display device 70. By displaying the display, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a manner corresponding to the result of the special lottery, while increasing the player's expectation for winning the jackpot. After that, the result of the special lottery is notified to the player by displaying the confirmed stop display.

In the hold display effect process, the effect control means 300 is held in the special random number storage means 2914 of the main memory 290 based on the command corresponding to the first special hold number or the second special hold number in the main board 100. An image showing the status of the 1st special random number value or the 2nd special random number value is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17A, the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 or the second special random number storage area 2914 of the special random number storage means 2914 are located below the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. Four reserved display areas (display areas) of the first reserved display area 411 to the fourth reserved display area 414 are provided corresponding to the special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, and each reserved display area is provided. As shown in FIG. 17A, the first reserved image 420 showing which of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 stores the first special random number value in the area, Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 17B, it is possible to display the second reserved image 422 showing which of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 stores the second special random number value. It has become.

Specifically, the effect control means 300 is a case where the second special random number value is not stored in any of the second special reserved storage areas 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, and the first special reserved storage area 1 When the first special reserved random value is stored in, the first reserved image 420 is displayed in the first reserved display area 411, and the first special reserved storage area 1 and the first special reserved storage area 2 are each displayed with the first reserved image 420. 1 When the special random number value is reserved, the first reserved image 420 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 and the second reserved display area 412, and so on, the second special reserved storage area 1 to When the second special random number value is not stored in any of the second special reserved storage areas 4, the first special reserved random value reserved in the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 is stored. The first reserved image 420 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 to the fourth reserved display area 414 according to the number of. In the example of FIG. 17A, the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 do not store the second special random number value, and the first special reserved storage area 1 to 1 Since the first special random number value is reserved in each of the special reserved storage areas 3, the first reserved image 420 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 to the third reserved display area 413.

Further, the effect control means 300 is the first in the second special reserved storage area 1 regardless of whether or not the first special random number value is stored in any of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4. 2 When the special random number value is reserved, the second reserved image 422 is displayed in the first reserved display area 411, and the second special reserved storage area 1 and the second special reserved storage area 2 are each displayed as the second special. When the random number value is reserved, the second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 and the second reserved display area 412, and so on, the second special reserved storage areas 1 to 2 are displayed. When the second special random number value is stored in any of the special reserved storage areas 4, the number of the second special random number values reserved in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4. The second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 to the fourth reserved display area 414. In the example of FIG. 17B, since the second special random number value is held in each of the second special hold storage area 1 to the second special hold storage area 2, the first hold display area 411 to the second hold The second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the display areas 412.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the lower part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the left area of the first reserved display area 411 is the first special reserved storage area or the second special reserved storage area of the special random number storage means 2914. The reserved display area 430 is provided in correspondence with the above, and the first special reserved random value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 in the reserved display area 430, and the first special reserved storage is stored. When stored in the area, the first reserved image 420 is displayed, and when the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and stored in the second special reserved storage area, the second is stored. 2 The reserved image 422 is displayed.

For example, in the state shown in FIG. 17A, the first special reserved random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1, a special lottery is performed, and the first special reserved random number value is stored in the first special reserved storage area. Then, as shown in FIG. 17C, the effect control means 300 moves the first reserved image 420 displayed in the first reserved display area 411 to the reserved display area 430, and the left effect symbol 350. , The variable display of the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and the first hold image 420 displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412 has one ordinal number from the original hold display area. Performs display control to move to a small hold display area. As a result, the first hold image 420 displayed in the hold display area 430 corresponds to the first special random number value that is the target of this special lottery, and the first hold displayed after the first hold display area 411. It can be shown that the image 420 corresponds to the first special random number value that is the target of the special lottery from the next time onward.

Then, as shown in FIG. 17 (D), when the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed and the result of this special lottery is displayed, they are stored in the first special hold storage area. As the first special random number value is erased, the first reserved image 420 displayed in the reserved display area 430 is erased. Then, when the first special random number value is further read from the first special hold storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed, the staging control means 300 is not shown, but the first hold displayed in the first hold display area 411. The image 420 is moved to the hold display area 430, and variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and is displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412. Display control is performed to move the first reserved image 420 from the original reserved display area to the reserved display area having one smaller ordinal number.

Further, although not shown, the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special random number value are held in a state where a plurality of second special random number values are reserved in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4. When the special lottery is performed and the second special random number value is stored in the second special reserved storage area, the staging control means 300 receives the second reserved image 422 displayed in the first reserved display area 411. Is moved to the hold display area 430, and variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and the second hold display area 412 and subsequent hold display areas are displayed. Display control is performed to move the reserved image 422 from the original reserved display area to the reserved display area having a smaller order. As a result, the second hold image 422 displayed in the hold display area 430 corresponds to the second special random number value that is the target of this special lottery, and the second hold displayed after the first hold display area 411. It can be shown that the image 422 corresponds to the second special random number value that is the target of the special lottery from the next time onward.

Further, the staging control means 300 obtains the first special random number value or the second special random number value according to the preliminary determination result corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value, and then the first special random number value. Alternatively, for the second special random number value, the first special random number value is obtained until the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is completed, or after the first special random number value or the second special random number value is acquired. Alternatively, the pre-reading effect is produced for the first special random number value or the second special random number value acquired immediately before the second special random number value until the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is completed. To execute. In the present embodiment, as the look-ahead effect, for example, the color or shape of the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422 corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value determined to execute the look-ahead effect is used. Change it, display an effect image around the first hold image 420 or the second hold image 422, display an object image such as a character image, or display a special background image that is different from the normal background image. Or something. In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the normal state, the pre-reading effect is not performed for the second special random number value, and the gaming state is the first time saving state, the second time saving state, the special state, and the first probability changing state. Or, in the case of the second probability change state, the look-ahead effect is not performed for the first special random number value.

Here, the staging control means 300 is a case where the result of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-determination result corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value is a jackpot winning result or a loss. In some cases, the pre-reading effect is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value only when the special lottery effect is performed in the reach effect pattern.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, in each of the variable group lottery table A to the variable group lottery table F shown in FIG. 8, 90 variable groups of 0 to 89 out of 0 to 99 variable group determined random values are used. Each of the determined random numbers is associated with any of groups 0 to 6 excluding group 4 and group 5, and each of the eight variable group determined random values 90 to 97 is a group. 4 is associated with each other, and group 5 is associated with each of the two variable group determined random values of 98 to 99. Therefore, when the variable group determined random value is any of 0 to 89. There are cases where the non-reach variation pattern is determined and cases where the reach variation pattern is determined according to the number of holdings or the game state, and the variation group determination random value is any one of 90 to 99. In, the reach fluctuation pattern is always determined regardless of the number of holdings or the gaming state, and the non-reach fluctuation pattern is not determined.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the special lottery means 230 is lost in the jackpot determination process performed as the preliminary determination process, and the variable group determination random number value included in the first special random number value or the second special random number value. However, when it is any of 0 to 89, indefinite value information indicating that the reach fluctuation pattern is uncertain is set as a preliminary determination result, and when it is any of 90 to 99. Sets fixed value information indicating that the reach fluctuation pattern is always determined as a preliminary determination result.

Then, when the result of the jackpot determination process included in the preliminary determination result is that the jackpot is won, the effect control means 300 determines whether or not the look-ahead effect can be executed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value. A look-ahead staging lottery is performed, but if the jackpot is not won, it is determined whether or not the pre-judgment result contains fixed value information, and if the fixed value information is included. , The look-ahead staging lottery is held.

As a result, in the present embodiment, at the time when the pre-determination process is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value and the time when the special lottery is performed for the same first special random number value or the second special random number value. , Even if the number of holdings has changed, if a special lottery is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value for which the pre-reading effect is determined to be executed, the jackpot will be won or the game will be lost. Also, the special lottery effect can be executed in the reach effect pattern.

When the effect control means 300 determines to execute the pre-reading effect by the pre-reading effect lottery for the first special random number value, the first special reserved storage area and the first special reserved storage areas 1 to 1 special reserved storage are stored. The first special random number value that is reserved in the area 4 and is included in the pre-determination result in the first special random number value acquired before the first special random number value for which the pre-reading effect is determined to be executed. The result of the jackpot determination process is the first special random number value that was won by the jackpot, or the result of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-judgment result is a loss, but the pre-judgment result contains fixed value information. When the first special random number value is not present, the look-ahead effect is started assuming that the start condition of the look-ahead effect is satisfied.

Further, when the execution of the pre-reading effect is determined by the pre-reading effect lottery for the second special random number value, the second special reserved storage area and the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 are reserved. The jackpot determination process included in the pre-judgment result in the second special random number value that is the second special random number value that is acquired before the second special random number value for which the pre-reading effect is determined to be executed. The second special random number value whose result is the winning jackpot, or the second special random value which is included in the pre-judgment result but the result of the jackpot determination process is lost, but the pre-judgment result contains fixed value information. When the special random number value does not exist, the look-ahead effect is started assuming that the start condition of the look-ahead effect is satisfied.

As a result, in the present embodiment, when the execution of the look-ahead effect is determined for the first special random number value or the second special random number value, the jackpot winning for the first special random number value or the second special random number value already held is won. If it is confirmed, if the special lottery effect is executed in the reach effect pattern, and if it is confirmed that the special lottery effect is executed in the reach effect pattern, it is executed by the confirmed jackpot. It is possible to start the look-ahead effect after the special game state is completed, or after the special lottery effect by the reach effect pattern that has been executed or is confirmed to be executed is completed. ..

3. 3. Control method of this embodiment The control method of this embodiment will be described in detail below. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, in the normal state which is the initial state, the special figure lottery state is set to the special figure low probability state, the normal figure lottery state is set to the normal figure low probability state, and the left. Since it is a game state in which a hit should be made, a special lottery is basically performed for the first special random number value in the normal state, and if a jackpot is won with a probability of about 1/150, there is a 1% probability of a 10-round probability variation symbol A. Is determined, and there is a 99% chance that a 5-round normal symbol or a 10-round normal symbol will be determined.

Then, in the normal state, about 1 in 10 to 20 of the game balls falling in the game area 4 on the left side enters the first start winning opening 46, and one game ball enters the first starting winning opening 46. Since four game balls are paid out each time the player enters, the player plays the game while reducing the number of game balls on hand.

Then, when a big hit is won in the special lottery in the normal state and the 5th round normal symbol or the 10th round normal symbol is determined, the game shifts to the first time saving state after the end of the special gaming state, and the special drawing lottery state is low. The probability state is set, the normal map lottery state is set to the normal map high probability state, and 40 is set in the storage value of the auxiliary number counter 2930.

And since the first time saving state is a game state in which a right-handed strike should be performed, a special lottery is basically performed for the second special random number value in the first time saving state, and if the jackpot is won with a probability of about 1/150, A 10-round probability variation symbol A is determined with a 5% probability, a 10-round probability variation symbol B is determined with a 5% probability, and a 10-round probability variation symbol C is determined with a 90% probability.

Then, in the first time saving state, many game balls falling in the game area 4 on the right side enter the second start winning opening 50, and almost all the game balls that did not enter the second starting winning opening 50 enter the third start. The player reduces the number of game balls he has because he enters the winning opening 70 and one game ball is paid out each time one game ball enters the second starting winning opening 50 or the third starting winning opening 70. You can play the game without letting it.

Then, when the jackpot is won and the 10-round probability variation symbol B or the 10-round probability variation symbol C is determined by the time the number of special lottery is performed 40 times in the first time saving state, after the end of the special gaming state. It shifts to the special state, the special figure lottery state is set to the special figure high probability state, the normal figure lottery state is set to the normal figure low probability state, and 70 is set to the storage value of the probability variation number counter 2928.

And since the special state is a game state in which a right-handed strike should be performed, a special lottery is basically performed for the second special random number value in the special state, and if a jackpot is won with a probability of about 1/50, there is a 5% probability. The 10-round probability variation symbol A is determined, the 10-round probability variation symbol B is determined with a 5% probability, and the 10-round probability variation symbol C is determined with a 90% probability.

And in a special state, many game balls that fall in the game area 4 on the right side cannot enter the second start winning opening 50, but almost all the game balls that did not enter the second start winning opening 50 get the third start winning opening. Since it enters the mouth 70, the player can play the game without reducing the number of game balls on hand.

Then, when the jackpot is won and the 10-round probability variation symbol C is determined by the time the number of times the special lottery is performed in the special state reaches 70 times, the special state is again transferred to the special state after the end of the special game state.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot is won with a probability of about 1/150 in the normal state and the 5-round normal symbol or the 10-round normal symbol is determined with a 99% probability, the state is shifted to the first time saving state. By the time the number of special lottery is 40 times in the 1st time saving state, the jackpot is won with a probability of about 1/150, and the 10-round probability variation symbol B or the 10-round probability variation symbol C has a 95% probability. Once determined, by shifting to a special state, while suppressing excessive transition to a special state, if transitioning to a special state, the number of times the special lottery has been performed will be 70 times. , When the jackpot is won with a probability of about 1/50 and the 10-round probability variation symbol C is determined with a probability of 90%, the special state and the special gaming state are likely to be repeated by shifting to the special state again. In this way, the player can acquire many game balls.

On the other hand, if the jackpot is won and the 10-round probability variation symbol B is determined by the time the number of special lottery is performed 70 times in the special state, the first probability variation state is entered after the end of the special gaming state. The special figure lottery state is set to the special figure high accuracy state, the normal figure lottery state is set to the normal figure high accuracy state, 70 is set to the storage value of the probability variation number counter 2928, and 20 is set to the storage value of the auxiliary number counter 2930. Is set.

And since the first probability change state is a game state in which a right-handed strike should be performed, a special lottery is basically performed for the second special random number value in the first probability change state, and if a jackpot is won with a probability of about 1/50, A 10-round probability variation symbol A is determined with a 5% probability, a 10-round probability variation symbol B is determined with a 5% probability, and a 10-round probability variation symbol C is determined with a 90% probability.

Then, in the first probability change state, many game balls falling in the game area 4 on the right side enter the second start winning opening 50, and almost all the game balls that did not enter the second start winning opening 50 enter the third start. Since the player enters the winning opening 70, the player can play the game without reducing the number of game balls he has.

Then, when the jackpot is won and any of the 10-round probabilistic symbol A to the 10-round probabilistic symbol C is determined by the time the special lottery is performed 20 times in the first probabilistic state, the special gaming state is determined. After the end of, the second probability change state is entered, the special figure lottery state is set to the special figure high probability state, the normal figure lottery state is set to the normal figure high probability state, and 70 is set in the storage value of the probability change number counter 2928. Then, 10000 is set in the storage value of the auxiliary number counter 2930.

Since the second probability change state is a game state in which a right-handed strike should be performed, a special lottery is basically performed for the second special random number value in the second probability change state, and if a jackpot is won with a probability of about 1/50, A 10-round probability variation symbol A is determined with a 5% probability, a 10-round probability variation symbol B is determined with a 5% probability, and a 10-round probability variation symbol C is determined with a 90% probability.

Then, in the second probability change state, many game balls falling in the game area 4 on the right side enter the second start winning opening 50, and almost all the game balls that did not enter the second start winning opening 50 enter the third start. Since the player enters the winning opening 70, the player can play the game without reducing the number of game balls he has.

Then, when the jackpot is won and any of the 10-round probabilistic symbol A to the 10-round probabilistic symbol C is determined by the time the special lottery is performed 70 times in the second probabilistic state, the special gaming state is determined. After the end of, it shifts to the second probability change state again.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the jackpot is won with a probability of about 1/50 and the 10-round probability variation symbol B is determined with a probability of 5% by the time the number of times the special lottery is performed in the special state reaches 70 times. Furthermore, if a big hit is won with a probability of about 1/50 by the time the number of special lottery is performed 20 times in the first probability change state, it is excessively second by shifting to the second probability change state. If the transition to the second probability variation state is suppressed while suppressing the transition to the second probability variation state, the jackpot will be won with a probability of about 1/50 by the time the number of special lottery is 70 times. By shifting to the second probability change state again, the second probability change state and the special game state can be easily repeated, and the player can acquire a large number of game balls.

In this embodiment, when the jackpot is won and the 10-round probability variation symbol A is determined in any of the normal state, the first time saving state, the special state, and the second time saving state, the first is after the end of the special gaming state. By shifting to the two probabilistic states, it is possible to shift to the second probabilistic state without going through the first time saving state, the special state, or the first probabilistic state.

If the jackpot is not won by the time the special lottery is performed 70 times in the second probability change state, the stored value of the auxiliary number counter 2930 starts from 10000, which is the initial value of the second probability change state. It is taken over in the state where 70 is subtracted to 9930, it shifts to the second time saving state, the special figure lottery state is set to the special figure low accuracy state, and the normal figure lottery state is set to the normal figure high accuracy state. The default.

And since the second time saving state is a game state in which a right-handed strike should be performed, in the second time saving state, a special lottery is basically performed for the second special random number value, and if the jackpot is won with a probability of about 1/150, A 10-round probability variation symbol A is determined with a 5% probability, a 10-round probability variation symbol B is determined with a 5% probability, and a 10-round probability variation symbol C is determined with a 90% probability.

Then, in the second probability change state, many game balls falling in the game area 4 on the right side enter the second start winning opening 50, and almost all the game balls that did not enter the second start winning opening 50 enter the third start. Since the player enters the winning opening 70, the player can play the game without reducing the number of game balls he has.

Then, when the jackpot is won and the 10-round probability variation symbol B or the 10-round probability variation symbol C is determined by the time the number of special lottery is performed in the second time-saving state reaches 9930, after the end of the special gaming state. It shifts to the special state, the special figure lottery state is set to the special figure high probability state, the normal figure lottery state is set to the normal figure low probability state, and 70 is set to the storage value of the probability variation number counter 2928.

That is, in the second time saving state, the winning probability of the big hit in the special lottery is set to about 1/150, but the big hit is won and special until the number of times the special lottery is performed in the second time saving state reaches 9930 times. In most cases, the gaming state is started, and there is almost no transition from the second time saving state to the normal state. That is, the second time saving state is substantially continued until the jackpot is won.

Then, in the second time saving state, as described above, in the variable group determination process, the reach variable pattern is not determined by referring to the variable group lottery table E shown in FIG. 8 (E), and the second The fluctuation time of the special symbol is always set to 1 second, which is the shortest.

As a result, in the present embodiment, the frequency at which the special lottery execution trigger arrives in the second time-saving state is made higher than in other gaming states, and the time until the jackpot is won in the second time-saving state is shortened as much as possible. I am doing it.

As described above, in the present embodiment, even if the jackpot is not won in the second probability change state, the jackpot is always won in the subsequent second time saving state, and after the end of the special gaming state, the game shifts to the special state. If it shifts to the second probability change state, it is guaranteed that the jackpot will be won at least once and that it will shift to the special state again.

In this way, in the present embodiment, the probability that the special game state is repeated is the same in the special state and the second probability change state while the special state and the second probability change state exist as the game states in which the special game state is likely to be repeated. On the other hand, in that the jackpot is won at least once and it is guaranteed that the game will be transferred to the special state again, the second probabilistic state will be more advantageous to the player than the special state. can do.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, the probability variation number is set to be the same for each type of jackpot symbol, but the number of auxiliary times is the game when the type of jackpot symbol and the jackpot are won. Since a different number of times is set according to the state, it is possible to realize the transition of the gaming state as described above without increasing the types of jackpot symbols.

4. Modifications The present invention is not limited to those described in the above embodiments, and various modifications can be carried out. Modifications are introduced below. It should be noted that the above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modification examples can be appropriately combined and adopted as control methods for realizing the present invention.

First, in the above embodiment, an example in which the number of assists is set to 10,000 times when the state is shifted to the second probability change state has been described, but when the state is shifted to the second probability change state, the number of assists is specially low. It may be set to a value larger than the reciprocal of about 1/150, which is the probability of winning the jackpot in the probable state. The number of times larger than the average number of times can be set as the auxiliary number of times.

Further, in the above embodiment, when shifting from the second probability change state to the second time saving state, the storage value of the auxiliary count counter 2930 is taken over in a state of being subtracted from the initial value of the second probability change state. As explained above, when shifting from the second probability change state to the second time reduction state, the memory value of the auxiliary count counter 2930 is the reciprocal of about 1/150, which is the winning probability of the jackpot in the special figure low probability state such as 9930. A value larger than is may be set again.

Further, after shifting to the second probability variation state, the number of assists may be set to a value larger than twice the reciprocal of about 1/150, which is the winning probability of the jackpot in the special figure low probability state. In this case, the number of times more than twice the average number of special lottery required for the jackpot to be won in the special figure low probability state can be set as the number of auxiliary times, and the probability is higher. The second time saving state can be continued until the jackpot is won.

Further, in the above embodiment, if a loss occurs in the special lottery in the second time saving state, the example in which the fluctuation time is always set to 1 second, which is the shortest, has been described, but the fluctuation time may be 3 seconds or the like. One of a plurality of types of reachless variation patterns may be determined so that it may be set.

Further, in the above embodiment, when a big hit is obtained in the special lottery in the second time saving state, one of a plurality of types of reach fluctuation patterns is determined as in the case where the special lottery in the other gaming state is a big hit. As described above, the reach variation pattern 1 having the shortest variation time may be determined without fail, or the variation is determined only when a big hit is obtained in the special lottery in the second time saving state. A reach variation pattern with a shorter time may be determined.

That is, the average of the fluctuation time set when the special lottery in the second time saving state is lost is shorter than the average of the fluctuation time set when the special lottery in the other gaming state is lost. Also, the average variable time set when a big hit is made in the special lottery in the second time saving state is set when the big hit is made in the special lottery in another gaming state. It may be shorter than the average of.

Further, in the above embodiment, among the game balls falling in the game area 4 on the right side, almost all the game balls that did not enter the second start winning opening 50 or the large winning opening 54 enter the third starting winning opening 70. As described by giving an example as described above, among the game balls falling in the game area 4 on the right side, a part of the game balls that did not enter the second start winning opening 50 or the large winning opening 54 is the third. You may enter the start winning opening 70.

Further, in the above embodiment, since one game ball is paid out every time one game ball enters the second start winning opening 50 or the third starting winning opening 70, the first time saving state and the second time saving state, In the special state, the first probability change state, and the second probability change state, the player can play a game without reducing the number of game balls on hand, but one game ball wins the second start. Two game balls are paid out each time the player enters the mouth 50, and one game ball is paid out each time one game ball enters the third start prize. In the 1st time saving state, the 2nd time saving state, the 1st probability change state, and the 2nd probability change state in which the game ball easily enters the mouth 50, the game ball is fired more than in the special state where it is difficult for the game ball to enter the 2nd start winning opening 50. The ratio of the number of game balls paid out to the player to the number of game balls fired from the device may be high.

Further, in the above embodiment, the winning probability of the small hit is the same in the normal state, the first time saving state, the second time saving state, the special state, the first probability changing state, and the second probability changing state. The small hit game is easier to execute by making the winning probability of the small hit higher in the special state, the first probability change state, and the second probability change state than in the normal state, the first time reduction state, and the second time reduction state. In the special state, the first probability change state, and the second probability change state, the small hit game is less likely to be executed. The ratio of the number of game balls may be increased.
