The variation pattern table includes a winning variation pattern table selected when the result is a win, a big hit variation pattern table selected when the result is a big hit, and the like. Furthermore, these pattern tables include tables for determining the second half fluctuation pattern, which is the fluctuation pattern after reaching the reach state (second half fluctuation group table, second half fluctuation pattern selection table, etc.), fluctuation before reaching the reach state Tables for determining the first half variation pattern (first half variation group table, first half variation pattern selection table, etc.) are included.

Here, reach (reach state) means having a display device whose display state can be changed, the display device derives and displays a plurality of display results at different times, and the plurality of display results are determined in advance. A game state (special game state) in which the game state is advantageous to the player when the special result mode is reached.
In the gaming machine 10, at a stage where some of the plurality of display results are not yet derived and displayed,
A display state in which a display result that has already been derived and displayed satisfies the conditions for becoming a special result mode. In other words, the ready-to-reach state means that even when the variable display control of the display device progresses and reaches the stage before the display result is derived and displayed, the display conditions for the special result mode are not met. It refers to a display mode that does not exist. And, for example, a state in which variable display is performed using a plurality of variable display areas while maintaining a state in which the special result modes are uniform (so-called all-rotation reach) is also included in the reach state. In addition, the reach state is a display state at the time when the display control of the display device progresses and reaches the stage before the display result is derived and displayed, and is determined before the display result is derived and displayed. It means a display state when at least some of the display results of a plurality of variable display areas that are present satisfy the conditions for the special result mode.

Therefore, for example, the decoration special figure variation display game displayed on the display device corresponding to the special figure variation display game changes the plurality of identification information for a predetermined time in each of the left, middle, and right variation display areas on the display device. After displaying, if the variable display is stopped in the order of left, right, and middle to display the result mode, the condition for the special result mode is satisfied in the left and right variable display areas (for example, The state in which the variable display is stopped with the same identification information) is the reach state. In addition, when the variable display of all the variable display areas is temporarily stopped, any two of the left, middle, and right variable display areas satisfy the condition for the special result mode (for example, the same A state that has become identification information,
However, excluding the special result mode) may be set as the ready-to-win state, and the remaining one variable display area may be variably displayed from this ready-to-win state.

This ready-to-reach state includes a plurality of ready-to-reach effects, and as ready-to-win effects with different possibilities of deriving special result modes (different expected values), normal reach (N reach), special 1 reach (SP1 reach), Special 2 Reach (SP2 Reach), Special 3
Reach (SP3 Reach) and Premier Reach are set. The expected value is no reach < normal reach < special 1 reach < special 2 reach < special 3 reach <
It becomes higher in order of premier reach. Further, this ready-to-win state is included in the variable display mode at least when the special result mode is derived in the special figure variable display game (when a big hit is achieved). That is, it may be included in the variable display mode when it is determined that the special result mode is not derived in the special figure variable display game (when it is lost). Therefore, the state in which the ready-to-win state occurs is a state with a higher possibility of winning a big hit than the case in which the ready-to-win state does not occur.

In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, a game is played by shooting game balls (pachinko balls) toward the game area 32 from the ball shooting device. The launched game ball is in the game area 3
2 flow down the game area 32 while changing the rolling direction by direction changing members such as obstacle nails and windmills arranged in various places, normal figure starting gate 34, general winning opening 35, starting winning opening 36, normal variable winning winning the device 37, the first special variable winning device 38 or the second special variable winning device 39,
It flows into an out port 30 a provided at the bottom of the game area 32 and is discharged from the game area 32 . Then, when the game ball wins the general winning hole 35, the starting winning hole 36, the normal variable winning device 37, the first special variable winning device 38 or the second special variable winning device 39, the number corresponding to the type of the winning winning port are discharged to the upper tray 21 or the lower tray 23 of the glass frame 15 from the payout unit controlled by the payout control device 200 (see FIG. 5).

In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the player adjusts the shooting force and shoots the game ball to the left side game area (so-called left-handed hitting), so that the starting winning opening 36 and the left side of the starting winning opening 36 You can aim to win a prize to the disposed general winning port 35, and by shooting a game ball to the right side game area (so-called right hitting), the normal figure start gate 34, the normal variable winning device 37, and the first special variable winning Players can aim to win a prize through the device 38, the second special variable prize winning device 39, and the general winning port 35 arranged on the right side of the second special variable prize winning device 39.

In the normal pattern starting gate 34, a gate switch 34a composed of a non-contact type switch or the like for detecting a game ball that has passed through the normal pattern starting gate 34 is provided.
When the game ball hit inside passes through the normal figure starting gate 34, it is detected by the gate switch 34a. In the CPU 111A of the game microcomputer 111 of the game control device 100, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the gate switch 34a provided in the normal pattern start gate 34, the normal pattern start memory number is the upper limit number (for example, 4 ), add the normal figure start memory number (+1
) to store one normal map start memory in the RAM 111C. The number of memory of this normal figure start winning prize is displayed on the normal figure reservation indicator 58 of the collective display device 50 . In addition, the normal pattern start memory stores a hit judgment random value (hit random value) for determining the result of the normal pattern variation display game extracted based on the input of the game ball detection signal from the gate switch 34a. It is designed to be

Then, when there is a normal pattern start memory and the normal pattern variation display game can be started, that is, when the normal pattern variation display game is not being executed, the normal pattern variation display game wins and the normal variation winning device 37 is converted to the open state. If there is no winning state, the random value for winning determination stored in the first stored normal pattern start memory is compared with the determination value stored in the ROM 111B to determine the hit/loss of the normal pattern fluctuation display game. Then, processing for starting the normal pattern fluctuation display game is performed. When the hit determination random number matches the determination value, the normal pattern variation display game becomes a hit and a specific result mode (normal pattern specific result) is derived.

In addition, the game control device 100 predetermines a plurality of predetermined lighting patterns over a predetermined variation time on the general pattern indicator 57 provided in the collective display device 50 as processing for executing the general pattern variation display game. After performing the normal pattern fluctuation display that is repeatedly displayed in the order given, the process of displaying the normal pattern fluctuation display game that stops and displays the lighting pattern (result mode) according to the result is performed.
The normal map display 57 is composed of the display device 41, and the normal identification information includes numbers, symbols,
It is also possible to use a character pattern or the like, variably display this for a predetermined period of time, and then stop display to display the result.

When the result of the normal pattern fluctuation display game is a hit, the normal pattern indicator 57 stops displaying a lighting pattern that is a special result mode, and the general electric solenoid 37c is operated to activate the movable member of the normal fluctuation prize winning device 37. Control is performed to open for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds or 1.7 seconds). That is, the game control device 100 serves as conversion control execution means for performing conversion control of the conversion member (movable member). In addition, when the result of the normal pattern variation display game is a loss, control is performed to display a lighting pattern corresponding to the state of the result of the loss on the normal pattern display device 57 .

Winning balls to the starting winning opening 36 and winning balls to the normal variable winning device 37 are detected by a starting opening 1 switch 36a and a starting opening 2 switch 37a, respectively.
In the CPU 111A of the game microcomputer 111 of the game control device 100, the first starting memory forming the starting memory (special figure starting memory) based on the winning to the starting winning opening 36 is set to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4
), and stores a second starting memory forming a starting memory (special figure starting memory) based on the winning to the normal variable winning device 37 up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). Based on winnings to the start winning opening 36 and the normal fluctuation winning device 37, a big hit random number value, a big hit pattern random number value, and each fluctuation pattern random number value are extracted as starting memory information, respectively. Numerical values are stored in the RAM 111C as first start memory and second start memory. And, the number of memories of this starting memory is displayed on the special figure 1 reservation indicator 53 and the special figure 2 reservation indicator 54 for notifying the number of starting winnings of the collective display device 50, and in the display device 41 of the center case 40 is also displayed as a decorative special figure start memory display.

The game control device 100 performs the special figure 1 variable display game with the special figure 1 indicator 51 (first variation display device) based on the first start memory, and the special figure 2 indicator 52 ( A special figure 2 variable display game is performed on the second variable display device). Then, when both the first starting memory and the second starting memory are stored, the special figure 2 variation display game is preferentially executed over the special figure 1 variation display game.

That is, the game control device (game control means) 100 is based on the first start memory stored according to the winning of the game ball to the start winning opening 36 (first start winning area) special figure 1 variable display game ( 1st special figure fluctuation display game) execution control, and special figure 2 fluctuation based on the second start memory stored according to the winning of the game ball to the normal fluctuation winning device 37 (second start winning area) It constitutes execution control means for controlling the execution of the display game (second special figure variation display game). Then, the execution control means changes the special figure 2 variation display game based on the second start memory from the special figure 1 variation display game based on the first start memory in a state where the first start memory and the second start memory are stored. are configured to be executed with priority.

In the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52, after performing the variable display, the predetermined result mode is stopped and displayed. Then, when the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 or the special figure 2 indicator 52 becomes a special result form (jackpot result form) corresponding to the first special result. It becomes a big hit, and becomes a first special game state (so-called big win state).
In addition, when the result of the special figure variation display game is a small hit, the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 or the special figure 2 indicator 52 corresponds to the second special result special result mode (small hit result mode) As a result, it becomes a small hit, and becomes a second special game state (so-called small hit state). That is, special figure 1
The display device 51 constitutes first variable display means capable of displaying a first variable display game (special figure 1 variable display game) based on the winning of the game ball to the starting winning hole 36 . In addition, the special figure 2 display device 52 constitutes a second variation display means capable of displaying a second variation display game (special figure 2 variation display game) based on winning of game balls to the normal variation winning device 37 .

In addition, the game control device (game control means) 100 has a jackpot game state (first special game state)
After the end of, control to generate a game state (specific game state) in which the game can be progressed in a situation that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game state (high probability of winning or having general electric support) It is possible to do That is, the game control device (game control means) 100 serves as a specific game state generating means.

In addition, in response to the execution of the special figure 1 variation display game and the special figure 2 variation display game, the display device 41
A decoration special figure variable display game is executed in which a plurality of types of decoration identification information (numbers, symbols, character designs, etc.) are displayed in a variable manner. The decoration special figure variation display game on the display device 41 includes a decoration special figure 1 variation display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game and a decoration special figure 2 variation display game corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game. Yes, and they are displayed in separate display areas. Then, the variation display is performed with the variation of the corresponding special figure variation display game, and the display corresponding to the result is performed with the derivation of the result mode in the corresponding special figure variation display game.

That is, the display device 41 is a decoration variation display game ( It constitutes a decoration variable display means capable of displaying a decoration special figure variable display game). In addition, separate display devices may be used for the decoration special figure 1 variation display game and the decoration special figure 2 variation display game, or only one decoration special figure variation display game may be displayed. Also, game machine 1
The special figure variation display game may be executed only by the display device 41 without having the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 in 0.

The control of the gaming machine that performs such games will be described below. First, the game control device 10
0 game microcomputer (game microcomputer) 111 will be described. The control processing by the gaming microcomputer 111 mainly consists of main processing shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, and timer interrupt processing shown in FIG.

[Main processing]
First, the main processing will be explained. Main processing is started when the power is turned on. In this main processing, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, first, the processing for prohibiting interrupts (step X1) is performed, and then, when an interrupt occurs, the start address of the area where the values of registers, etc. are saved is A stack pointer setting process (step X2) for setting a certain stack pointer is performed. Next, register bank 0 is designated (step X3), and a predetermined register (
For example, the D register) is set to the upper address of the RAM top address (step X4)
. In the case of this embodiment, the range of RAM addresses is 0000h to 01FFh, with 00h or 01h being the higher order, and the top 00h being set in step X4. Next, a firing stop signal is output and the firing permission signal is set to a prohibited state (step X5). When at least one of the game control device 100 and the payout control device 200 is outputting a firing stop signal, the firing permission signal is set to a prohibited state, and the firing of game balls is prohibited.

Thereafter, the states of the RAM initialization switch 112 and the setting key switch 152 are read (step X6), and processing for setting the power-on delay timer (step X7) is performed. In the process of step X7, by setting a predetermined initial value, the game control device 1 acting as main control means
Waiting time (for example, 3 seconds) for waiting for the program of the subordinate control means (for example, the payout control device 200 and the effect control device 300) to start normally according to the instructions from 00
is set. As a result, when the power is turned on, if the game control device 100 starts up first and the command is sent to the slave control device before the slave control device (for example, the payout control device 200 or the effect control device 300) starts up, and the slave control device can avoid missing commands. That is, the game control device 100 delays the start of the main control means (game control device 100) when the power is turned on, and waits for the start of the sub-control device (payout control device 200, effect control device 300, etc.). It constitutes waiting means for setting a waiting time.

In addition, the power-on delay timer clocks time using a storage area that is not subject to RAM validity determination (checksum calculation) (RAM area not subject to validity determination, registers, or the like). As a result, when calculating check data such as a checksum of the RAM area, it is not necessary to exclude a part of the RAM area from the calculation, so that the control at power-on can be prevented from becoming complicated.

After performing the process of setting the power-on delay timer (step X7), it is determined whether a power failure has occurred (step X8). wait for it to shut off.
Specifically, in step X8, for example, the power failure monitoring signal input from the power supply device 400 is read via the port and data bus and the number of times (for example, two times) to be checked is set, and the power failure monitoring signal is on. determine whether there is Then, if the power failure monitoring signal is on, it is determined whether the power failure monitoring signal continues to be on for the set number of checks. If the on state of the power failure monitoring signal has not continued for the number of checks, the process returns to the determination of whether the power failure monitoring signal is on. Further, when the power failure monitoring signal continues to be on for the number of checks, it is determined that a power failure has occurred. The same applies to steps X34 and X54, which will be described later. In this way, by determining that a power failure has occurred when a power failure monitoring signal is continuously received for a predetermined period of time, it is possible to prevent erroneous detection of a power failure due to noise, etc., and appropriately handle problems that occur when the power is turned on. can do.

That is, the game control device 100 serves as power failure monitoring means for monitoring the occurrence of power failure during a predetermined waiting time. As a result, it is possible to cope with a power failure that occurs during the period in which the activation of the game control device 100, which constitutes the main control means, is delayed, and it is possible to appropriately deal with problems that occur when the power is turned on. Note that access to the RAM is not permitted until the standby time is over, and the memory contents of the previous power shutdown are still retained, so backup processing, etc. will be performed when a power failure occurs here. No need. Therefore, even if a power failure occurs during the standby time, there is no need to back up the RAM, and the burden of control can be reduced.

On the other hand, if no power failure has occurred (step X8; N), the power-on delay timer is updated by -1 (step X9), and it is determined whether the timer value is 0 (step X10).
If the timer value is not 0 (step X10; N), that is, if the standby time has not expired, the process returns to the process of determining whether a power failure has occurred (step X8). Also, if the timer value is 0 (step X10; Y), that is, if the waiting time has expired,
Access to a readable and writable RWM (read/write memory) such as RAM and EEPROM is permitted (step X11), and off data is output to all output ports (set to no output state) (step X12).

Next, a serial port (a port pre-installed in the game microcomputer 111, in this embodiment, used for communication with the effect control device 300 and the payout control device 200) is set (step X13), and the game microcomputer 111 (clock generator) to start a CTC (Counter/Timer Circuit) circuit that generates a timer interrupt signal and a random number update trigger signal (CTC) (step X14). Incidentally, the CTC circuit is provided in the clock generator in the gaming microcomputer 111 . The clock generator includes a frequency dividing circuit that divides the oscillation signal (original clock signal) from the oscillation circuit 113, and the CPU 1 based on the frequency-divided signal.
11A has a CTC circuit that generates a timer interrupt signal with a predetermined period (for example, 4 milliseconds) and a signal CTC that triggers random number update to be supplied to the random number generation circuit.
Next, a RAM abnormality flag is set (step X15). Here, regardless of whether or not there is an abnormality in the RAM, on the premise that there is an abnormality in the RAM, a RAM abnormality flag is temporarily set in a predetermined register.

Next, it is determined whether the value of the power failure inspection area 1 in the RWM is normal power failure inspection area check data 1 (eg, 5Ah) (step X16), and if normal (step X16; Y),
Power failure inspection area check data 2 where the value of power failure inspection area 2 in RWM is normal (for example, A5h)
(step X17). Then, if the value of the power failure inspection area 2 is normal (step X17; Y), a checksum calculation process (step X18) is performed to calculate the checksum of the predetermined area in the RWM. match the checksum (step X19). If the checksums match (step X19; Y)
Since there is no abnormality in the RAM, the RAM abnormality flag is cleared (step X20), and the process proceeds to step X21.

Further, when it is determined that the check data in the power failure inspection area is not normal data (step X16; N or step X17; N), when it is determined that the checksum does not match (step X19; N), step Based on the state read by X6, it is determined whether both the setting key switch 152 and the RAM initialization switch 112 are on (step X21). If at least one of the setting key switch 152 and the RAM initialization switch 112 is off (step X21; N), it is determined whether the RAM abnormality flag is set (step X22). If the RAM abnormality flag is set (step X22; Y), since there is an abnormality in the RAM, the main abnormality error notification command for notifying that the game control device 100 is abnormal is sent to the effect control board (effect control device 300) (step X24).

On the other hand, if the RAM abnormality flag is not set (step X22; N), it is determined whether or not the probability setting changing flag is set (step X23). Then, when the probability setting changing flag is set (step X23; Y), a command for main abnormality error notification is transmitted to the effect control board (effect control device 300) (step X24). The probability setting flag that is set here is the probability setting flag that was set before the power failure occurred. In other words, if the gaming machine is powered off and restarted while the probability set value is being changed,
Since the operation of the game control device 100 is stopped, the process of step X24 is performed.
Next, the 7-segment display data when the game is stopped is output to the fifth driver 138e through the second output port 134 (step X25). As a result, in the performance display device 153,
A display as shown in FIG. 41(h) is performed. Thereafter, ON data of the security signal is output and OFF data of the signal other than the security signal is output (step X26).
, return to step X25.

If both the setting key switch 152 and the RAM initialization switch 112 are on (step X21; Y), it is determined whether the RAM abnormality flag is set (step X27). Then, if the RAM abnormality flag is not set (step X27
;N), a probability setting changing flag is set (step X29). This shifts to the probability set value change mode. After that, a command for changing the probability setting is transmitted to the production control board (production control device 300) (step X30), and the process proceeds to step X31. In the production control device 300, based on the reception of the command for changing the probability setting, the display of the display device 41, the LED emission of the frame decoration device 18 and the board decoration device 46, the operation of the board production device 44, the speaker 1
The fact that the probability set value is being changed is notified by means of voice output from 9a and 19b.
On the other hand, when the RAM abnormality flag is set (step X27; Y), the process of clearing the probability set value (step X28) is performed. As a result, 0 is set in the probability setting value area in the RWM, and the probability setting value becomes "setting 1". After that, step X29,
After executing the process of X30, the process proceeds to step X31.

Further, when at least one of the setting key switch 152 and the RAM initialization switch 112 is in the OFF state (step X21; N) and neither the RAM abnormality flag nor the probability setting change flag is set (step X22; N and step X23 ;N), it is determined whether the setting key switch 152 is on based on the state read in step X6 (step X35). If the setting key switch 152 is not on (step X35; N
), it is determined whether the RAM initialization switch 112 is on based on the state read in step X6 (step X43).

If it is determined that the RAM initialization switch 112 is not on (step X43; N)
In other words, when both the setting key switch 152 and the RAM initialization switch 112 are in the off state, the process moves to step X41 to perform the processing for the normal recovery from the power failure.
On the other hand, if it is determined that the RAM initialization switch 112 is on (step X43
In ;Y), the process proceeds to step X44 to perform initialization. That is, the RAM initialization switch 112 forms an initialization operation unit that can be operated from the outside, and the game control device 100 initializes the data stored in the RAM based on the operation of the initialization operation unit. make a means of

If the setting key switch 152 is on (step X35; Y), the probability setting checking flag is set (step X36). This shifts to the probability set value confirmation mode. After that, the command during probability setting confirmation is produced by the production control board (production control device 300)
(step X37). In the effect control device 300, based on the reception of the probability setting confirmation command, the display of the display device 41, the LED of the frame decoration device 18 and the board decoration device 46
By the light emission of, the operation of the board effect device 44, the sound output by the speakers 19a and 19b, etc.
It notifies that the probability setting value is being confirmed.

A value corresponding to 128 ms is saved in the security signal control timer area in order to guarantee output of the security signal for 50 ms or more (step X31). The security signal is output in the probability setting change/confirmation process (step X122) of the timer interrupt process when the probability set value change mode or the probability set value confirmation mode is selected. It is output in the process (step X120). Therefore, 12
If the probability set value change mode or the probability set value confirmation mode ends in less than 8 milliseconds, the security signal is continuously output by the external information editing process (step X120) of the timer interrupt process. That is, even if the probability setting value change mode or probability setting value confirmation mode ends in less than 128 milliseconds, the security signal is not output for 128 milliseconds after shifting to the probability setting value change mode or probability setting value confirmation mode. be. Note that the value saved in the security signal control timer area in step X31 is not limited to the value corresponding to 128 milliseconds. However, after shifting to the probability setting value change mode or probability setting value confirmation mode,
Since it is necessary to output the security signal during 0 ms, it is necessary to save the value corresponding to 50 ms or more.

Then, the interrupt is permitted (step X32), and it is determined whether the setting key switch 152 is off (step X33). At step X33, determination is not made based on the state read at step X6 (state at power-on), but the state (current state) read in the input processing (step X103) of the timer interrupt processing (FIG. 9). decision based on If it is determined in step X33 that the setting key switch 152 is in the OFF state, the probability set value is determined.
If the setting key switch 152 is not in the OFF state (step X33; N), it is determined whether a power failure has occurred (step X34), and if no power failure has occurred (step X34;
N), the process returns to step X33, and when a power failure occurs (step X34; Y), the process proceeds to step X55. When it is determined in step X34 that a power failure has occurred while the probability setting change flag is set, in step X23 of the main processing (FIGS. 7 and 8) after recovery from the power failure, It is determined that the probability setting changing flag is set.

On the other hand, if the setting key switch 152 is in the OFF state (step X33; Y), a process of prohibiting interruption (step X38) is performed. Processing for enabling interrupts (step X32
) and before the interrupt prohibiting process (steps X38, X55), the timer interrupt process (FIG. 9) is performed at a predetermined time period (for example, 4 ms). In the timer interrupt process, a probability setting change/confirmation process (step X122), which is a process related to the probability setting value.
is done. In other words, the main process is on standby until the change or confirmation of the probability set value is completed (or until a power failure occurs).
Next, a command for ending notification is transmitted to the effect control board (effect control device 300) (step X39). In the effect control device 300, based on the reception of the notification end command,
The notification being executed (notification indicating that the probability setting value is being changed or notification indicating that the probability setting value is being confirmed) is terminated.

Next, it is determined whether the probability setting changing flag is set (step X40), and if the probability setting changing flag is not set (step X40; N), that is, if the probability setting checking flag is set is the area to be initialized (for example, the blackout inspection area,
A power failure recovery process (step X41) is performed to save an initial value at the time of power failure recovery in a checksum area and an area related to error monitoring). The probability setting confirming flag is cleared at this step X41.
After that, the power failure recovery command corresponding to the special game processing number is transmitted to the production control board (production control device 300) (step X42), and the process proceeds to step X47. In the case of this embodiment, in step X42, a plurality of commands such as model designation command, probability setting information command, special figure 1 reservation number command, special figure 2 reservation number command, probability information command, effect number information command, screen designation command etc. Send command. As a command for specifying the screen, when the special figure 1 and special figure 2 are both in the normal processing described later, that is, when the special figure fluctuation display game is not being executed and the special game state is not in progress If it is waiting for a customer Send the command for the customer waiting demo screen, otherwise send the command for the recovery screen. Also, depending on the model, in addition to these commands, a high-probability number-of-times information command or the like is also transmitted.

On the other hand, if the probability setting changing flag is set (step X40; Y), the RAM area other than the probability setting value is cleared to 0 (step X44). At step X44, the RAM area for the probability setting value (work area (1-byte area for the probability setting value)) and the RAM area for performance display (display of base value and character ratio) (work area and stack area) are cleared. Without doing, the RAM area for game control (work area and stack area) is cleared to 0. Therefore, the probability setting changing flag is cleared at this step X44. In step X44,
The stack area and unused area may or may not be cleared.

Then, the initial value at the time of RAM initialization is saved in the area to be initialized (step X45).
. The area to be initialized here is an area related to setting of the customer waiting demonstration area and the production mode. And, the command at the time of RAM initialization is transmitted to the production control board (production control device 300) (step X46). In the case of this embodiment, in step X46, model designation command, probability setting information command, special figure 1 reservation number command, special figure 2 reservation number command, probability information command, effect number information command, RAM initialization command (customer waiting A demonstration screen is displayed, and a plurality of commands such as a command for notifying RAM initialization with light and sound for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) are transmitted. Depending on the model, in addition to these commands,
A support frequency information command, etc., which is information on the number of executions of the special figure fluctuation display game with the performance frequency information command and the general electric support, is also transmitted.

Next, a process for starting and setting the random number generation circuit is performed (step X47). Specifically, the CPU 111A sets a code (specified value) for activating the random number generation circuit in a predetermined register (CTC update permission register) in the random number generation circuit. Also, the bit permutation pattern of the hard random number (here, the jackpot random number) generated by the hardware of the random number generating circuit is set. A bit permutation pattern is a method of permuting the extracted random number bit arrangement (the arrangement before bit transposition in the upper row) in a predetermined order and storing it as a different bit arrangement (arrangement after bit transposition in the lower row). is a pattern that defines By replacing the bits of the random number according to this bit permutation pattern, it is possible to break the regularity of the random number and improve the secrecy of the random number. The bit transposition pattern may be a single fixed pattern, or may be selected from a plurality of prepared patterns. In addition, the user may be allowed to arbitrarily set.

After that, predetermined registers (soft random number registers 1 to n) in the random number generation circuit when the power is turned on
Extract the value of the corresponding various initial random numbers (in the case of this embodiment, random numbers to determine the winning pattern of the special pattern (big hit pattern random number, small winning pattern random number), random numbers to determine the hit of the general pattern (hit random number ), R
After saving in a predetermined area of WM (step X48), interrupts are permitted (step X4
9). Since the random number generating circuit in the CPU 111A used in this embodiment is configured to change the initial value of the soft random number register each time the power is turned on, this value is used as the initial value (start value) of various initial random numbers. By doing so, the regularity of the random numbers generated by the software can be broken, making it difficult for the player to acquire illegal random numbers.

Subsequently, an initial value random number update process (step X50) is performed to update the values of various initial value random numbers to break the regularity of the random numbers. Although not particularly limited, in the present embodiment, the jackpot random numbers, jackpot pattern random numbers, small hit pattern random numbers, hit random numbers, and falling lottery random numbers are generated using random numbers generated in a random number generation circuit. is configured as However, the jackpot random number is a so-called "high-speed counter" that is updated based on a clock that is faster than the operating clock of the CPU. It is a "low-speed counter" that is updated based on the CTC output (CTC (CTC2) different from the CTC (CTC0) of the timer interrupt process) that has the same period as the timer interrupt process, which is a unit. In addition, in the jackpot pattern random number, small hit pattern random number, hit random number, and falling lottery random number, each time the random number goes around, the initial value random number (generated by software) is used to change the start value. ” is adopted. Each random number is +1 or -1
A counter-type update may be used, or a random-type update may be used in which all the values within the range appear separately without duplication until a cycle is completed. That is, the jackpot random number is a random number updated only by hardware, and the jackpot pattern random number, small hit pattern random number, winning random number, and falling lottery random number are random numbers updated by hardware and software.
In the present embodiment, there is no random number (hitting pattern random number) for determining the winning pattern of the general pattern, so there is only one type of winning pattern of the general pattern. may be selected from a plurality of types.

After the initial value random number update process of step X50, the process of prohibiting interrupts (step X51)
to perform performance display editing processing (step X52). Then, after performing the process of permitting the interrupt (step X53), it is determined whether a power failure has occurred (step X54), and if the power failure has not occurred (step X54; N), the initial value random number update process (Step X5
0). That is, when a power failure has not occurred, the initial value random number updating process, performance display editing process, and power failure monitoring are repeatedly performed. By enabling the interrupt (step X49) before the initial value random number update process (step X50), if a timer interrupt occurs during the initial value random number update process, the interrupt process is preferentially executed. It is possible to avoid pressure on the interrupt processing due to the waiting by the initial value random number update processing.

The initial value random number update process in step X50 may be performed in the main process or in the timer interrupt process. In order to avoid executing the random number update process, when performing the initial value random number update process in the main process, it is necessary to disable interrupts and then update to cancel the interrupts.
If the initial value random number update process is not performed in the timer interrupt process as in the present embodiment, but only in the main process, there is no problem even if the interrupt is canceled before the initial value random number update process. This has the advantage of simplifying the main processing.

On the other hand, if a power failure has occurred (step X54; Y), a process of temporarily prohibiting interrupts (step X55) and a process of outputting OFF data to all output ports (step X56) are performed.
After that, the power failure inspection area check data 1 is saved in the power failure inspection area 1 (step X57
), the power failure inspection area check data 2 is saved in the power failure inspection area 2 (step X58).
Furthermore, after performing checksum calculation processing (step X59) for calculating the checksum at the time of power shutdown of the RWM and processing for saving the calculated checksum (step X60), the RW
After performing the process of prohibiting access to M (step X61), it waits until the gaming machine is powered off. In this way, by saving the check data in the power failure inspection area and calculating the checksum when the power is shut off, it is possible to check whether the information stored in the RWM before the power shutoff has been correctly backed up. It can be determined when re-entering.

From the above, the main control means (game control device 100) that controls the game overall, and the sub-control means (payout control device 200, effect control device 300, etc.) that perform various controls according to the instructions from the main control means ), the main control means delays the activation of the main control means and sets a predetermined standby time for waiting for the activation of the slave control device when the power is turned on (game control device 100) and power failure monitoring means (game control device 100) for monitoring the occurrence of power failure during the predetermined waiting time.
Also, a power supply device 400 that supplies power to various devices is provided, and the power supply device 400 is configured to output a power failure monitoring signal when the occurrence of a power failure is detected, power failure monitoring means (game control device 100) , it is determined that a power failure has occurred when the power failure monitoring signal continues to be received for a predetermined period of time.

In addition, the main control means (game control device 100) includes a RAM 111C capable of storing data,
An initialization operation unit (RAM initialization switch 112) that can be operated from the outside, and an initialization means (RAM initialization switch 112) that initializes data stored in the RAM 111C based on the operation of the initialization operation unit (
A game control device 100) is provided, and the operation state of the initialization means is read before the start of the waiting time.
Also, the main control means (game control device 100) permits access to the RAM 111C after the waiting time has elapsed.

[Timer interrupt processing]
Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. Timer interrupt processing is started when a periodic timer interrupt signal generated by the CTC circuit in the clock generator is input to the CPU 111A. That is, it is an interrupt routine that is started at predetermined intervals. When a timer interrupt occurs in the gaming microcomputer 111, the interrupt is automatically disabled, and the timer interrupt process of FIG. 9 is started.

When timer interrupt processing is started, first, register bank 1 is specified (step X1
01). Switching to register bank 1 is equivalent to performing register save processing to move the value held in a predetermined register (for example, a register used in main processing) to RWM. Next, the upper address of the RAM head address is set in a predetermined register (for example, D register) (step X102). In step X102, the same processing as step X4 in the main processing is performed, but the register bank is different. Next, an input process (step X103) for reading inputs and signals from various sensors and switches, that is, reading the state of each input port is performed.

Next, it is determined whether the probability setting changing flag or the probability setting checking flag is set (step X104), and if the probability setting changing flag or the probability setting checking flag is set (step X104; Y) , probability setting change/confirmation processing (step X122)
to terminate the timer interrupt processing.
On the other hand, if both the probability setting changing flag and the probability setting checking flag are not set (step X104; N), the solenoids (large winning opening solenoids 38b, 39b) are controlled based on the output data set in various processes. , lever solenoid 38f, general electric solenoid 37
Output processing (step X105) for performing drive control of actuators such as c) is performed. When a firing stop signal is output in step X5 in the main processing, a firing permission signal is output by performing this output processing, and the firing permission signal can be set to the permission state. This launch permission signal is output to the launch control device via the payout control device. At that time, signal processing and the like are not performed. In addition, the launch permission signal is the first signal indicating the state of launch permission viewed from the game control device, and the second signal (fire permission signal) indicating the state of firing permission viewed from the payout control device is also payout control. It is generated within the device and output to the launch control device. In other words, two launch permission signals are output to the launch control device, and when both are permitted to launch, the game ball can be launched.

Next, payout command transmission processing (step X106) for outputting commands set in the transmission buffer in various processes to the payout control device 200, random number update processing 1 (step X107),
Random number update process 2 (step X108) is performed. After that, monitoring whether or not there is a normal signal input from the starting port 1 switch 36a, the starting port 2 switch 37a, the winning port switch 35a, the big winning port switches 38a and 39a, the setting of the prize balls, the front frame and the glass Winning port switch/state monitoring processing (step X109) for monitoring errors such as frame opening and illegal winning to the normal variable winning device 37 and special variable winning devices 38 and 39 is performed.

Next, it is determined whether abnormal discharge is occurring (step X110). Abnormal discharge means that the number of game balls discharged from the first special variable prize winning device 38 (the number of game balls detected by the specific area switch 38d and the remaining ball discharge port switch 38e) is It is to exceed the number of game balls flowing into the first special variable winning device 38 (the number of game balls detected by the big winning opening switch 38a). Note that an abnormal discharge flag is set when abnormal discharge is occurring. Then, when abnormal discharge is occurring (step X110; Y), the process proceeds to step X116. That is, the game is prevented from progressing.

On the other hand, if abnormal discharge is not occurring (step X110; N), the special figure game processing (step X112) for performing the processing relating to the special figure variation display game, the normal figure game processing (step X112) for performing the processing relating to the normal figure variation display game X114) is performed, and the segment LED editing process (step X115) for driving the segment LED provided in the gaming machine 10 to display the special figure variation display game and various information related to the game so as to display the desired content is performed. conduct.

Next, magnet fraud monitoring processing (step X116) for checking the detection signal from the magnetic sensor 61 and determining whether there is an abnormality, and processing for checking the detection signal from the board radio wave sensor 62 and determining whether there is an abnormality. board radio fraud monitoring processing (step X117), vibration fraud monitoring processing (step X118) for checking the detection signal from the vibration sensor 65 and determining whether there is an abnormality, and determining whether abnormal discharge has occurred Abnormal discharge monitoring processing (step X119) is performed. Furthermore, external information editing processing (step X120) for setting signals to be output to various external devices in the output buffer, performance display monitor control processing (step X121) for controlling the performance display monitor 153 are performed, and the timer interrupt processing ends. do.

Here, in this embodiment, the process of restoring the interrupt disabled state (that is, the process of enabling interrupts) and the process of restoring the specification of the register bank (that is, the process of specifying register bank 0) automatically (at the end of timer interrupt processing). It should be noted that depending on the CPU used, there are game machines that require an instruction to execute a process for restoring the interrupt disabled state or a process for restoring the designation of the register bank.

[Special game processing]
Next, the details of the special figure game processing (step X112) in the timer interrupt processing described above will be described. In the special game process, the starting port 1 switch 36a and the starting port 2 switch 3

Next, a special winning opening switch monitoring process (step A2) is performed. In this special winning opening switch monitoring process, the detection of game balls is monitored by the upper big winning opening switch 38a provided in the first special variable winning device 38, and the lower special winning opening switch 38a provided in the second special variable winning device 39 Big prize mouth switch 39a
Performs processing for monitoring the detection of game balls in. Then, specific area switch monitoring processing for monitoring the detection of game balls in the specific area 38h is performed (step A3).

Next, if the special game processing timer is not "0", it is updated by -1 (step A4). In addition, the minimum value of the special figure game processing timer is set to "0". Then, it is determined whether the value of the special game processing timer is "0" (step A5). The value of the special game processing timer is "
0" (step A5; Y), that is, if the time has expired or has already expired, register the special figure game sequence branch table to be referred to for branching to the process corresponding to the special figure game process number. (step A6), and acquires the branch destination address of the process corresponding to the special figure game process number using the table (step A7).
Then, a subroutine call is made according to the special game processing number (step A8).

In step A8, if the special figure game processing number is "0", the start of variation of the special figure variation display game is monitored, and the setting of the variation start of the special figure variation display game, the setting of the effect, and the special figure variation are performed. A special figure normal process (step A9) for setting information necessary for processing is performed.
At step A8, if the special figure game processing number is "1", the special figure changing process for setting the stop display time of the special figure, setting the information necessary for performing the special figure display process, etc. (Step A

At step A8, if the special figure game processing number is "2", if the game result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, the setting of the fanfare command according to the kind of big win and the big prize winning opening of each big win. Special figure display process (step A11
)I do.

At step A8, if the special game processing number is "3", the setting of the opening time of the big winning gate, the update of the number of times of opening, the setting of information necessary for performing the processing during the opening of the big winning gate, etc. are performed. A fanfare/interval process (step A12) is performed.
In step A8, if the special game processing number is "4", if the jackpot round is not the final round, an interval command is set, and if it is the final round, an ending command is set, and a large winning opening remains. A process (step A13) during the opening of the big winning opening for setting information necessary for ball processing is performed.

At step A8, if the special game process number is "5", if the big win round is the last round, the process of setting the time for the remaining balls in the big winning opening to be discharged and the big win end process are performed. Large winning hole remaining ball processing (step A14) for setting information necessary for performing
I do.
At step A8, if the special figure game process number is "6", a jackpot end process (step A15) for setting information necessary for carrying out the special figure normal process is performed.

At step A8, if the special game processing number is "7", the opening time/opening pattern of the big winning opening when a small win occurs is set, the fanfare command is set, and processing during the small win is performed. Processing (step A16) during a small hit fanfare for setting necessary information and the like is performed.
At step A8, if the special game processing number is "8", the small hit middle processing (step A
17).
In step A8, if the special game processing number is "9", a process of setting a time for discharging the remaining balls that have won a prize in the big winning opening during the small winning process, or a small winning ending process. A small hit remaining ball process (step A18) for setting information necessary for performing is performed.
At step A8, if the special figure game processing number is "10", small winning end processing (step A19) for setting information necessary for carrying out special figure normal processing, etc. is performed.

After that, after preparing a table for controlling the variation of the special figure 1 indicator 51 (step A
20), symbol variation control processing (step A21) relating to the control of the variation of the special symbol by the special figure 1 display device 51 is performed. Then, after preparing a table for controlling the variation of the special figure 2 indicator 52 (step A22), the symbol variation control process (step A23) relating to the control of the special symbol variation by the special figure 2 indicator 52 is performed. . Thereafter, a lever solenoid control process (step A24) for controlling the operation of the lever solenoid 38f is performed, and the special figure game process is terminated. On the other hand, in step A5, if the value of the special game processing timer is not "0" (step A5;
N), that is, if the time has not expired, the process proceeds to step A20 and the subsequent processes are performed.

[Starting port switch monitoring process]
Next, the details of the startup switch monitoring process (step A1) in the special game process described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 11, in the starting opening switch monitoring process, first, a first starting opening (starting winning opening 36) winning monitoring table is prepared (step A101), hardware random number acquisition processing (step A102) is performed, It is determined whether or not there is a prize to the 1 start opening (step A103).
If it is determined in step A103 that there is no winning to the first starting port (step A103
In ;N), the process proceeds to step A109 and the subsequent processes are performed.
On the other hand, in step A103, if it is determined that there is a winning prize to the first starting port (step A
103; Y), it is determined whether or not it is during special working hours (during general electricity support) (step A
104).

At step A104, when it is determined that it is not in the special figure time saving (step A104; N), the process proceeds to step A107 and the subsequent processes are performed.
On the other hand, in step A104, when it is determined that it is in the special figure time saving (step A104;
In Y), a right-handed instruction notification command is prepared (step A105), and effect command setting processing (step A106) for transmitting the command to the effect control device 300 is performed. That is, if it is a time-saving state, regardless of the probability state of the special figure variation display game, a right-handed instruction notification command is prepared (step A105), and effect command setting processing (step A106) is performed. In the case of the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, a prize is not won unless the first starting port (starting prize port 36) is hit to the left, and a prize is not won to the normal fluctuation prize winning device 37 unless the ball is hit to the right. Therefore, the time-saving state is a game state in which right-handed hitting is more advantageous than left-handed hitting, but when there is a first start opening winning during the time-saving state (that is, when left-handed during the time-saving state) , a right-handed instruction notification command is transmitted to the production control device 300, and the production control device 300 performs notification (warning) instructing to hit to the right.
Next, after preparing a table for setting information on hold by the first starting port (starting winning port 36) (step A107), special figure starting port switch common processing (step A108) is performed.

Next, the second starting port (normal variable winning device 37) prepares a winning monitoring table (step A1
09), a hardware random number acquisition process (step A110) is performed, and it is determined whether or not there is a winning in the second start opening (step A111).
If it is determined in step A111 that there is no winning to the second starting port (step A111
At ;N), the starting port switch monitoring process is terminated.
On the other hand, in step A111, if it is determined that there is a winning prize to the second starting port (step A
111; Y), the normal electric accessory (normal variable winning device 37) is in operation, that is,
It is determined whether or not the normal variable winning device 37 is in an open state in which game balls can be won (step A112), and when it is determined that the normal electric accessory is in operation (step A112; Y). , the process proceeds to step A114, and the subsequent processes are performed. On the other hand, step A
At 112, when it is determined that the normal electric accessory is not in operation (step A112; N), it is determined whether the normal electric fraud is occurring (step A113).

In determining whether or not fraud is occurring, it is determined that fraud is occurring when the number of fraudulent winnings to the normal variable winning device 37 is equal to or greater than the number of fraudulent occurrence determinations (for example, 5). The normal variable winning device 37 cannot win a game ball when it is closed, and can win a game ball only when it is open. Therefore, if a game ball wins in the closed state, it means that some kind of abnormality or dishonesty has occurred.
If there is a game ball that wins in such a closed state, the number is counted as the number of fraudulent wins.
Then, when the number of fraudulent prizes thus counted is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (upper limit) for determination of fraud occurrence, it is determined that fraud is occurring.

At step A113, when it is determined that the general electric fraud is not occurring (step A113; N), after preparing a table for setting information on suspension by the second start port (normal variable winning device 37) (step A114), special Performing the figure start port switch common processing (step A115),
Terminate the starting port switch monitoring process. Further, when it is determined in step A113 that the electric power irregularity is occurring (step A113; Y), the starting port switch monitoring process is ended. That is, the second starting memory is prevented from being generated any more.

[Common process for special figure start switch]
Next, the details of the special figure starting opening switch common processing (steps A108 and A115) in the starting opening switch monitoring processing described above will be described. Special figure starting mouth switch common processing, when there is an input of the starting mouth 1 switch 36a and the starting mouth 2 switch 37a, is a process that is performed in common for each input.

As shown in FIG. 12, in the special figure starting port switch common processing, first, the starting port 1 switch 36
a and starter 2 switch 37a, load the starter signal output count, which is the number of times information about the number of winnings to the starter switch to be monitored is output to the management device outside the game machine 10 (step A131), the loaded value is updated by +1 (step A132), and it is determined whether the number of times of output overflows (step A133). If the output count does not overflow (step A133; N), the updated value is saved in the RWM starting signal output count area (step A134), and the process proceeds to step A135. On the other hand, if the number of outputs overflows (step A133; Y), the process proceeds to step A135. In this embodiment, a value from "0" to "255" can be stored in the starting signal output count area. Then, when the loaded value is "255", the updated value becomes "0" by +1 update, and it is determined that the number of outputs overflows.

Next, it is determined whether the update target special figure holding (starting memory) number corresponding to the monitoring target starting port switch 36a and the starting port 2 switch 37a is less than the upper limit value (step A135). If the special figure pending number to be updated is not less than the upper limit (step A135; N
) ends the special figure start opening switch common processing.

Also, if the number of special figures pending to be updated is less than the upper limit (step A135; Y), the number of special figures pending to be updated (the number of special figures 1 pending or the number of special figures 2 pending) is updated by +1 ( Step A13
6), save the target start-up winning flag (step A137). Subsequently, the address of the random number storage area corresponding to the starting switch to be monitored and the special figure reservation number is calculated (step A138), and the jackpot random number prepared in step A125 of the hardware random number acquisition process is stored as the RWM jackpot random number. Save in the area (step A139).

Next, extract the jackpot pattern random number of the starter switch to be monitored and prepare it (step A
140), and save in the jackpot symbol random number storage area of RWM (step A141).
Next, a small winning design random number is extracted, prepared (step A143), and saved in a small winning design random number storage area of RWM (step A144).

Then, the variation pattern random numbers 1 to 3 are saved in the corresponding RWM variation pattern random number storage area (step A145), and the special figure reservation information determination process (step A146) is performed.
Then, to prepare a decorative special figure pending number command corresponding to the starting opening switch and special figure pending number to be monitored (step A147), effect command setting processing (step A148) is performed,
End the special figure starting mouth switch common processing.

Here, the game control device 100 (RAM 111C) extracts a predetermined random number based on the detection of a game ball in the starting area of the starting winning port 36 or the normal variable winning device 37, and starts the variable display game execution right. It constitutes a starting storage means for storing a predetermined number as an upper limit as a memory. In addition, the starting memory means (game control device 100) stores various random values extracted based on the winning of the game ball into the first starting winning port (starting winning port 36) as the first starting memory up to a predetermined number. Various random values stored and extracted based on the winning of the game ball to the second start winning opening (normal variable winning device 37),
A predetermined number is stored as the second start memory up to the upper limit.

[Special Figure Reservation Information Judgment Process]
Next, special figure reservation information determination processing (step A14
6) will be described in detail. The special figure reservation information determination process is a look-ahead process that determines the result related information corresponding to the start memory before the start timing of the special figure variation display game based on the corresponding start memory.

As shown in FIG. 13, first, a big-hit determination process (step A154) is performed to determine whether or not the game is a big-hit according to whether or not the big-hit random number matches the big-hit determination value. Then, if the determination result is a big hit (step A155; Y), a big hit pattern random number check table corresponding to the target starter switch is set (step A156), and in step A140 of the special figure starter switch common processing. Stop symbol information corresponding to the prepared jackpot symbol random number is acquired (step A157), and the process proceeds to step A164.

On the other hand, if the determination result is not a big hit (step A155; N), a small hit determination process (step A159) that determines whether or not it is a small hit depending on whether the big hit random value matches the small hit determination value. conduct. Then, if the judgment result is not a small hit (step A160; N), stop symbol information for losing is set (step A163), and the process proceeds to step A164.
On the other hand, when the determination result is a small hit (step A160; Y), a small hit design random number check table is set (step A161), and a small hit design prepared in step A143 of the special figure start opening switch common processing. Acquire the stop symbol information corresponding to the random number (step A1
62), the process proceeds to step A164.

Then, a look-ahead stop symbol command corresponding to the target starting port switch and stop symbol information is prepared (step A164), and effect command setting processing is performed (step A165). Next, a special figure information setting process (step A166) for setting special figure information, which is a parameter for setting a variation pattern, is performed, and a variation pattern setting process for setting the variation mode of the special figure variation display game is performed (step A167).

After that, prepare a look-ahead variation pattern command corresponding to the first half variation number indicating the first half variation pattern and the second half variation number indicating the second half variation pattern in the variation mode of the special figure variation display game (step A168), and perform the production command setting process. (Step A169), end the special figure reservation information determination process. It should be noted that the special figure information setting process in step A166 and the variation pattern setting process in step A167 are the same as the processes executed at the start of the special figure variation display game in the special figure normal process.

By the above processing, the look-ahead pattern command including the result of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory of the look-ahead object and the look-ahead variation pattern command including the information of the variation pattern in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory are prepared. and transmitted to the effect control device 300 . As a result, the judgment result (read-ahead result) of the result-related information (whether it is a big hit or the type of variation pattern) corresponding to the start memory is produced before the start timing of the special figure variation display game based on the corresponding start memory. It is possible to notify the device 300, especially by changing the decorative special figure start memory display displayed on the display device 41, etc., to the player before the start timing of the special figure fluctuation display game. It is possible to notify.

That is, the game control device 100 determines the random number stored as the starting memory in the starting winning memory means (game control device 100) before executing the variable display game based on the starting memory (
For example, it determines whether or not there will be a special result). The timing for determining the random value stored in correspondence with the starting memory in advance is not limited to the time when the starting memory is generated, but any time before the variable display game based on the starting memory is played. good.

[Special normal processing]
Next, details of the special figure normal processing (step A9) in the special figure game processing described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 14, in the special figure normal processing, first, it is determined whether the special figure 2 reservation number (second start memory number) is "0" (step A301). When it is determined that the special figure 2 reservation number is "0" (step A301; Y), it is determined whether the special figure 1 reservation number (first start memory number) is "0" (step A305). And the number of special figures 1 pending is "0" (step A3
05; Y), it is determined whether the customer waiting demonstration has been started (step A309).
If the customer waiting demonstration has not started yet (step A309; N), the customer waiting demonstration flag is set in the customer waiting demonstration flag area (step A310).

Subsequently, a customer waiting demo command is prepared (step A311), and effect command setting processing (step A312) is performed. Next, "0" relating to special figure normal processing is set as the processing number (step A313), and the processing number is saved in the special figure game processing number area (step A314). Then, the fluctuating pattern discrimination flag area is cleared (step A315), and the fraud monitoring period flag is saved in the big winning opening fraud monitoring period flag area (step A316
), to end the special figure normal processing. That is, when the special figure fluctuation display game can be started but the start condition is not satisfied, the effect control device 300 outputs the customer waiting demo command forming the waiting information.
It will be sent to.
On the other hand, in step A309, if the customer waiting demonstration has already started (step A309;
Y) skips steps A310 to A312 and proceeds to step A313.

Also, in step A301, if the number of special figures 2 pending is not "0" (step A301;
N) prepares a decoration special figure reservation number command corresponding to the special figure 2 reservation number (step A302
). Next, effect command setting processing (step A303) is performed, and special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (
Step A304) is performed and the special figure normal processing is terminated.
Also, in step A305, if the special figure 1 pending number is not "0" (step A305;
N) prepares a decoration special figure reservation number command corresponding to the special figure 1 reservation number (step A306
). Next, effect command setting processing (step A307) is performed, and special figure 1 fluctuation start processing (
Step A308) is performed and the special figure normal processing is terminated.

In this way, by performing the check of the special figure 2 reservation number before the special figure 1 reservation number check, if the special figure 2 reservation number is not "0", special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (step A304) will be executed. That is, the second special figure variation display game is preferentially executed over the first special figure variation display game. That is, when the second start memory means (game control device 100) has the second start memory, the game control device 100 changes the variable display game based on the second start memory to the variable display game based on the first start memory. It constitutes a priority control means for executing with priority over the game.

[Special figure 1 fluctuation start process]
Next, the details of the special figure 1 fluctuation start processing (step A308) in the special figure normal processing described above will be described. The special figure 1 fluctuation start process is a process performed at the start of the first special figure fluctuation display game. As shown in FIG. 15(a), first, the special figure 1 fluctuation flag indicating the type of the special figure fluctuation display game to be executed (here, special figure 1) is saved in the fluctuation pattern discrimination area (step A321),
Loss information and big win information are set in a big win flag 1 for discriminating whether or not the first special figure variation display game is a big win, and it is discriminated whether or not the first special figure variation display game is a small win. Big hit flag 1 setting processing (step A322) for setting deviation information and small hit information to the small hit flag for doing is performed.

Next, special figure 1 stop design setting process (step A
323) is performed, a special figure information setting process (step A324) for setting special figure information which is a parameter for setting the variation pattern is performed, and various kinds of setting of the variation pattern of the first special figure variation display game are performed. Prepare a special figure 1 variation pattern setting information table, which is a table in which information for referring to information is set (step A325). Thereafter, a variation pattern setting process (step A326) for setting a variation pattern which is a variation mode in the first special figure variation display game is performed, and a variation start information setting process for setting information on the start of variation of the first special figure variation display game. (Step A327) is performed.

Then, set "1" for special figure fluctuation processing as the processing number (step A328)
, save the processing number in the special game processing number area (step A329).
Then, the customer waiting demonstration flag area is cleared (step A330), and a signal relating to the start of fluctuation of special symbol 1 (for example, a signal during special symbol 1 fluctuation is ON) is saved in the test signal output data area (step A331). After that, save the fluctuating flag in the special figure 1 fluctuation control flag area (step A332), flashing control timer in the special figure 1 flashing control timer area (special figure 1 indicator 5
The initial value (here, 100 ms) of the blinking cycle timer of 1 is set (step A33
3). Then, the initial value ("0" in this case) is saved in the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern number area (step A334), and the special figure 1 fluctuation start process is ended.

[Special figure 2 fluctuation start process]
Next, the details of the special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (step A304) in the above-mentioned special figure usual processing will be described. The special figure 2 variation start process is a process performed at the start of the second special figure variation display game, and the same process as the special figure 1 variation start process shown in FIG. This is done with memory as the object.

As shown in FIG. 15(b), first, the special figure 2 fluctuation flag indicating the type of the special figure fluctuation display game to be executed (here, special figure 2) is saved in the fluctuation pattern discrimination area (step A341), and the second
To determine whether or not the second special figure fluctuation display game is a small hit or not while setting deviation information and big win information in the big win flag 2 for deciding whether or not the special figure fluctuation display game is a big hit. Big hit flag 2 setting process (
Step A342) is performed.

Next, special figure 2 stop design setting process (step A
343) is performed, a special figure information setting process (step A344) for setting special figure information which is a parameter for setting the variation pattern is performed, and various settings related to the setting of the variation pattern of the second special figure variation display game Prepare a special figure 2 variation pattern setting information table, which is a table in which information for referring to information is set (step A345). Thereafter, a variation pattern setting process (step A346) for setting a variation pattern which is a variation mode in the second special figure variation display game is performed, and a variation start information setting process for setting information on the start of variation of the second special figure variation display game. (Step A347) is performed.

Then, set "1" for special figure fluctuation processing as the processing number (step A348)
, save the processing number in the special game processing number area (step A349).
Then, the customer waiting demo flag area is cleared (step A350), and a signal relating to the start of fluctuation of the special symbol 2 (for example, the signal during special symbol 2 fluctuation is ON) is saved in the test signal output data area (step A351). After that, save the fluctuating flag in the special figure 2 fluctuation control flag area (step A352), flashing control timer in the special figure 2 flashing control timer area (special figure 2 indicator 5
2 flashing period timer) is set to an initial value (here, 100 ms) (step A35
3). Then, the initial value (here "0") is saved in the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern number area (step A354), and the special figure 2 fluctuation start processing is ended.

That is, the game control device 100 serves as special figure variation display game execution control means for executing the special figure variation display game based on the start memory stored in the start memory means. Further, the special figure variation display game execution control means executes the first special figure variation display game as the special figure variation display game based on the first start memory, and the second special figure variation display game as the special figure variation display game based on the second start memory. A figure fluctuation display game is executed.

Next, control by the production control device 300 will be described. The main control microcomputer (CPU) 311 of the effect control device 300 performs main processing shown in FIG. 16 and timer interrupt processing (not shown).

[Main processing]
As shown in FIG. 16, in the main process, first, the process at the start of the program is performed. In this process at the start of the program, first, interrupts are prohibited (step C1), and the CPU is initialized (step C2). Next, the VDP 312 is initialized (step C3), and interrupts are permitted (step C4). Next, allow generation of display data (step C
5) A random number seed is set (step C6), and an initial value at power-on is saved in an area to be initialized (step C7). As a result, the power outage detected flag and the like are cleared.

After the program start processing from steps C1 to C7 is performed, loop processing is performed as the main loop processing. In this loop processing, first, WDT (watchdog timer) is cleared (step C8). Next, an input signal (
Effect button input processing (step C9) for creating input information from the rising edge) is performed. Inputs from the production button 25 and the cross key 29 are read in timer interrupt processing, and in this production button input processing, when there is an input from the production button 25 and the cross key 29, processing for changing the contents of production is performed. .

Then, the setting of the changeable range such as the brightness of the LED and liquid crystal, the volume, etc., and the LED
A hall/player setting mode process for accepting operations such as changing the brightness of the liquid crystal, the volume, etc. is performed (step C10). Next, a random number update process (step C11) is performed to update the random number that determines the details of the variation mode of the decoration special figure variation display game.

Next, a reception command check process (step C12) for analyzing and responding to commands from the game control device 100 is performed, and an effect display editing process (step C13) is performed for editing settings and drawing commands for controlling the progress of the effect. ) to set completion of drawing command preparation (step C14). In these processes, various data are updated in accordance with the content to be drawn, and the drawing data is finally set in the frame buffer. 1/3
If the drawing data for the screen to be drawn within 0 seconds (approximately 33.3 milliseconds) is prepared, the image can be updated without any problem.

Then, it is determined whether or not it is time to switch frames (step C15). In this embodiment, the V blank interrupt (1/6
0 second) is entered twice, it is determined that it is the frame switching timing. Note that the frame switching timing can be changed arbitrarily. For example, image updating (frame switching) may be performed at 1/60 second, or image updating (frame switching) may be performed at a timing later than 1/60 second. switching) may be performed. If it is determined in step C15 that it is not the frame switching timing (step C15; N), the process of step C15 is repeated. On the other hand, if it is determined at step C15 that it is time to switch frames (step C15; Y), screen drawing is instructed (step C16).

After that, sound control processing (step C17) for controlling the output of sound from the speakers (upper speaker 19a, lower speaker 19b), decoration control processing (step C17) for controlling LEDs such as the board decoration device 46 and the frame decoration device 18 C18), a movable body control process (step C19) for controlling the motor and solenoid of the board effect device 44 and the reel 6 is performed, and the board for controlling effects by the notification unit 72, the point notification unit 73, the cumulative value notification unit 74, etc. The effect setting process (step C20) is performed, and the process returns to the process of clearing the WDT (step C8).

[Receive command check processing]
FIG. 17 shows received command check processing in the main processing described above. In this received command check processing, first, the value of a command reception counter that counts how many commands are received in one frame (1/30 second) is loaded as the command reception count (
Step C201), determine whether or not the command reception count is 0 (step C202)
. If it is determined that the number of received commands is 0 (step C202; N), the received command check process is terminated. If it is determined that the number of received commands is not 0 (step C202; Y), the contents of the command reception counter area are subtracted by the number of received commands (step C203).

Next, copy the contents of the received command buffer to the command area (step C204
), the command read index is updated by +1 within the range of 0 to 31 (step C205), and it is determined whether or not copying of the commands corresponding to the number of commands received has been completed (step C206).
Thus, in this embodiment, the command is not directly analyzed in the received command buffer,
The content of the received command buffer is copied to the command area (RAM area for analysis), and the command analysis work is performed in the command area. Thereby, in preparation for the case where a command is transmitted from the game control device 100 during command analysis, the command (data
can be moved to create space. In addition, command analysis can be collectively performed for each round of main processing.

If it is determined in step C206 that the number of command copies corresponding to the number of commands received has not been completed (step C206; N), the process returns to step C204. If it is determined that copying of commands for the number of commands received has been completed (step C206; Y),
The contents of the command area are loaded (step C207), and the received command analysis process (step C208) is performed.

Next, the address of the command area is updated (step C209), and it is determined whether or not the analysis of commands corresponding to the number of commands received has been completed (step C210). Then, when it is determined that the command analysis for the number of commands received has not been completed (step C210; N),
The process returns to step C207. Also, when it is determined that the analysis of the commands corresponding to the number of commands received has been completed (step C210; Y), the received command check processing is terminated. In this way, in the received command check process, commands received during one frame (1/30 second) are collectively analyzed. In this embodiment, up to 32 commands can be saved.

[Receive command analysis processing]
FIG. 18 shows received command analysis processing in the received command check processing described above. In this received command analysis processing, first, the upper byte of the command is separated as MODE and the lower byte as ACT (ACTION) (step C231), and it is determined whether MODE and ACT are within the normal range (steps C232 and C233). ). MODE and A
When CT is determined to be within the normal range (step C232; Y, step C233; Y)
Then, it is determined whether or not the ACT for MODE is a correct combination (step C23
4).

In addition, when it is determined in steps C232 and C233 that MODE or ACT is not in the normal range (step C232; N, step C233; N), or when it is determined in step C234 that ACT for MODE is not a correct combination (step C2
34;N), the received command analysis process is terminated.

If it is determined in step C234 that the ACT for MODE is a correct combination (
At step C234; Y), it is determined whether or not MODE is within the range of the variable command (step C235). Variation system command is a command to command the variation pattern of special figure. Then, if it is determined that MODE is within the range of the variable command (step C235
At ;Y), the variable command processing (step C236) is performed, and the received command analysis processing ends.

If it is determined in step C235 that MODE is not within the range of the variable command (
At step C235; N), it is determined whether or not MODE is within the range of the jackpot commands (step C237). The big hit system command is a command for commanding an operation (display of a fanfare screen or a round screen, etc.) during the big hit, or a command for commanding an operation (display of a fanfare screen, end screen, etc.) during the small win. and MO
When it is determined that the DE is within the range of the big-hit command (step C237; Y), the big-hit command processing (step C238) is performed, and the received command analysis processing ends.

Further, when it is determined at step C237 that MODE is not within the range of the jackpot commands (step C237; N), it is determined whether or not MODE is within the range of symbol commands (step C239). The symbol-based command is a command for instructing information on the symbol of the special figure (for example, what to do with the stop symbol of the special figure). Then, when it is determined that the MODE is within the range of the symbol-based command (step C239; Y), symbol-based command processing (
Step C240) is performed to terminate the received command analysis process.

Also, in step C239, if it is determined that MODE is not within the range of symbol-based commands (
At step C239; N), it is determined whether or not MODE is within the range of a single-shot command such as a pending number command or an error command (step C241). A single command is a command that stands alone, unlike a command that makes sense in combination, such as a symbol command and a variable command. The single-shot commands include a customer waiting demonstration command, a pending number command, a symbol stop command, a probability information command, an error/illegal command, and a model designation command. If it is determined that MODE is within the range of single-shot commands (step C24
1; Y), single-shot command processing (step C242) is performed, and the received command analysis processing ends.

If it is determined in step C241 that MODE is not within the range of single-shot commands (
At step C241; N), it is determined whether or not MODE is within the range of the look-ahead symbol system command (step C243). Then, when it is determined that MODE is within the range of the look-ahead symbol system command (step C243; Y), look-ahead symbol system command processing (step C2
44) to end the received command analysis process.

Further, when it is determined in step C243 that MODE is not within the range of the look-ahead symbol system command (step C243; N), it is determined whether or not MODE is within the range of the look-ahead variation system command (step C245). If it is determined that the MODE is within the range of the prefetch variation command (step C245; Y), prefetch variation command processing (step C246) is performed, and the received command analysis processing is terminated. Also, in step C245,
If it is determined that the MODE is not within the range of the prefetch variation command (step C245; N)
, the received command analysis process is terminated.

In addition, the look-ahead variation system command and the look-ahead symbol system command are commands including information necessary for executing the look-ahead effect. Pre-reading effect (also called pre-reading notice or pre-reading notice effect) is whether the special figure fluctuation display game will be a big hit when the special figure fluctuation display game corresponding to the unexecuted start memory (hold) is executed after that. (or what kind of variation pattern it will be), in order to notify the player in advance with a predetermined reliability, display the decoration special figure start memory display etc. displayed on the display device 41 in a manner different from usual, It is a production such as performing a production display on And the look-ahead system command (a look-ahead variation system command and a look-ahead design system command) is a command to inform in advance of the variation pattern and the stop design corresponding to the start memory to be the target of the look-ahead performance, and is sent from the game control device 100 at the time of start winning. It is transmitted to the production control device 300 . It should be noted that normal variation-based commands and symbol-based commands that are not look-ahead are transmitted from the game control device 100 to the effect control device 300 at the start of the special figure variation display game.

<Special figure fluctuation display game and decorative special figure fluctuation display game>
A special figure variation display game on the collective display device 50 and a variation display game (decorative special figure variation display game) on the display device 41 will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 to 28 .

The decoration special figure start memory display displayed in the standby memory display unit 83 corresponds to the first start memory one-on-one, and the leftmost decoration special figure start memory display corresponds to the first start memory stored first. It is displayed side by side in the order of storage so that it becomes a decorative special figure start memory display, and it is designed to move to the left each time it is digested.

In addition, the decoration special figure fluctuation display game (decoration special figure 2 fluctuation display) corresponding to the special figure 2 fluctuation display game is the decoration special figure fluctuation display game being displayed on the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 game), the standby memory display unit 83 displays a decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the start memory (second start memory) that is the right to execute the special figure 2 fluctuation display game. In this case, the decorative special figure starting memory display displayed in the standby memory display unit 83 corresponds one-to-one with the second starting memory, and the leftmost decorative special figure starting memory display is stored first The second start It is displayed side by side in the order of memory so that it becomes a decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to memory, and it is designed to move to the left each time it is digested.
Furthermore, in the standby memory display unit 83, the result of the special figure variation display game based on the starting memory and the result of the prefetch such as the variation pattern can be suggested by the display mode of the decoration special figure starting memory display corresponding to the starting memory. It is possible.

On the left side of the standby memory display section 83, there is provided a memory display section 84 during execution for displaying information related to the start memory corresponding to the special figure variation display game currently being executed. At the start of the special figure fluctuation display game, the decoration special figure starting memory display at the left end of the standby memory display portion 83 is shifted to the in-execution memory display portion 84 . Furthermore, in the running memory display unit 84, the result of the special figure variation display game currently running, the variation pattern, etc. are suggested by the display mode of the decoration special figure starting memory display displayed in the running memory display unit 84. It is possible.
In the upper left part of the display area of the display device 41, the first starting memory number display portion 85a that displays the first starting memory number (special figure 1 reservation number) and the second starting memory number (special figure 2 reservation number) A second start memory number display portion 85b for displaying is provided.

19 and 20 show a case where the special figure 1 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 1 variation display game in which the result is "big hit". FIG. 19 is an example of display on the display device 41 and the collective display device 50, and FIG. 20 is an example of a timing chart.
In FIG. 19(a), during the stop display time of the special figure 1 variable display game in which the result is "lost", the number of first starting memories is 1 and the number of second starting memories is 0. state. Here, since the game result is "lost", the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 on the display device 41 is one of the result modes of "losing". is "123", and in the collective display device 50, the special figure 1 indicator 51
display mode is "miss" result mode (LED lamp A0 is turned on and LED lamp A
1 to A7 are turned off). In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 19 (a), the display mode of the special figure 2 indicator 52 is also the result mode of "missing" (LED lamp B0 is lit and L
ED lamps B1 to B7 are turned off).

Also, here, since it is during the stop display time of the special figure 1 variable display game, the number of first start memories is 1 and the number of second start memories is 0, so in the display device 41, the first The numerical value of the starting memory number display section 85a is "1" and the numerical value of the second starting memory number display section 85b is "0". 0 decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory) is displayed. In addition, in the collective display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 1 reservation indicator 53 corresponds to "one special figure reservation" (the LED lamp C0 is turned on and the LED lamp C1 is turned off (
See FIG. 4 (d))), and the display mode of the special figure 2 reservation indicator 54 is "no special figure reservation"
(a mode in which the LED lamps C2 and C3 are turned off (see FIG. 4(d))).

And here, since the game result is "lost", the number of first start memories is 1 and the number of second start memories is 0, when the stop display time ends, the special figure fluctuation display game and decoration After the special figure variation display game ends, the variation time of the special figure 1 variation display game, which is the next special figure variation display game, starts. When the variable time of the special figure 1 variable display game starts, FIG.
), in the display device 41, the decoration special figure start memory display at the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 is displayed to move to the running memory display unit 84, and the first start memory number display The numerical value of the portion 85a changes. Here, since the first starting memory is digested and becomes 0, the decorative special figure starting memory display (decorating special figure starting memory display corresponding to the first starting memory) of the standby memory display unit 83 becomes 0, The numerical value of the first start memory number display section 85a becomes "0". In addition, in the collective display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 1 reservation indicator 53 changes, and the mode corresponding to "no special figure reservation" (the mode in which the LED lamps C0 and C1 are turned off (Fig. 4 ( d) see)
).

When the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variation time of the special figure 1 variation display game, the display device 41
, the variable display of the decorative special figure variable display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variable display game is started, and in the batch display device 50, the variable display of the special figure 1 variable display game is started. Specifically, the variable display of the identification information (large symbols) starts in each of the left, middle, and right variable display areas of the first decoration game display section 81, and the left area of the second decoration game display section 82, The variable display of the identification information (small pattern) starts in each of the middle area and the right area. In addition, the variation display on the special figure 1 indicator 51, that is, the mode corresponding to "varying" (the LED lamps A0, A2, A4, A6 are lit and the LED lamps A1, A3, A5, A7 are lit and alternately switching mode)
(see FIG. 4(b)) starts. Thus, in this embodiment, when the variable time starts, the special figure variation display game and the decorative special figure variation display game start, but the variation display does not start, and the first predetermined from the start of the variation time When the time elapses, the variable display of the special figure variation display game and the decoration special figure variation display game is started.

During execution of the special figure 1 variable display game, when the game ball wins into the start winning opening 36 and the first start memory (first special figure reservation) is generated, as shown in FIG. , the number of decorative special figure start memory display of the standby memory display unit 83 changes, the numerical value of the first start memory number display unit 85a changes, and in the collective display device 50, the special figure 1 reservation display 53 The display mode of changes.

Then, when the variable time of the special figure 1 variable display game ends and the stop display time starts (t1
1) As shown in FIGS. 19(d) and 20, in the display device 41, the variable display ends and the game result is displayed on the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82. Along with this, the decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory) of the running memory display unit 84 disappears. Further, in the collective display device 50, the variable display is finished and the game result is displayed on the special figure 1 display device 51. FIG. Here, since the game result is a "jackpot", the display device 41 displays the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 8.
The display mode of 2 is "333" which is one of the result modes of "jackpot",
In the collective display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 1 display device 51 is one of the result modes of "jackpot".

Also, here, since the game result is "big hit", the number of first starting memories is 1 and the number of second starting memories is 0, when the stop display time ends, the special figure variation display game and the decoration are displayed. When the special figure variation display game ends and the first special game state starts (t12), the first special game state ends when the ending time of the jackpot ends, and the next special figure variation display game is the special figure. The variable time of one variable display game starts (t13). When the variable time of the special figure 1 variable display game starts, as shown in FIG. While the display to shift to the part 84 is performed, the numerical value of the first start memory number display part 85a changes, and in the collective display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 1 reservation display 53 changes.

In this embodiment, the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 82 are hidden at the same time as the special game state is started, and thereafter, the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 81 are hidden at the same time as the variable time is started. The 2 decoration game display section 82 reappears. That is, the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 become invisible at the same time as the special game state starts, and become visible at the same time as the change time starts. Then, the result of the previous special figure variation display game is first displayed in the reappearing first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 . Here, because the result of the previous special figure fluctuation display game is "333" (Fig. 19 (
d)), as shown in FIGS. 19(e) and 20, "333" at the start of the variable time
The first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 appear in a state of statically displaying (t13). Since the variable display of the decorative special figure variable display game is started when the first predetermined time has passed since the start of the variable time, the first predetermined time has passed since the start of the variable time (t13 to t14). , the display modes of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 do not change, and the state in which "333" is stopped is maintained.

In addition, the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 of the collective display device 50 is the same display form as before the start of the special game state even during the special game state (see FIG. 19 (d)) maintained in Since the variation display of the special figure variation display game is also started when the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variation time, as shown in FIG. Until the start of the fluctuation display (t11 to t14), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 does not change.

When the first predetermined time has passed since the start of the variation time (t14), as shown in FIG. ) is performed, and the variation speed gradually increases during this low-speed variation (t14 to t15), and eventually a high-speed variation (display of variation at a speed that is difficult to identify) as shown in FIG. 19(f) is performed ( t15~
t16). After that, as shown in FIG. 19(g), the high-speed fluctuation ends and the low-speed fluctuation starts (t
16) During this low speed fluctuation, the fluctuation speed gradually decreases (t16 to t17), and eventually a temporary stop state is reached (t17 to t19).

As shown in FIG. 19G, the identification information of the first decorative game display section 81 starts slow fluctuation in the order of the left fluctuation display area, the right fluctuation display area, and the middle fluctuation display area. , the right fluctuation display area, and the middle fluctuation display area are temporarily stopped in this order. In the temporary stop state, the identification information is displayed so as to sway, indicating that the vehicle is not completely stopped. As shown in FIG. 19(h), when the same identification information temporarily stops in the left fluctuation display area and the right fluctuation display area, the reach state is entered and the reach fluctuation starts (t18).
For the sake of convenience, FIG. 20 shows only the timing of the identification information displayed in the leftward movement display area as the identification information (large pattern) of the first decorative game display portion 81 . Therefore, in FIG. 20, "t14" is the timing at which the identification information (left pattern) displayed in the left fluctuation display area starts slow fluctuation, and the identification information (right pattern) displayed in the right fluctuation display area and the middle fluctuation display The timing at which the identification information (medium pattern) displayed in the area starts to fluctuate at low speed is between "t14" and "t15". Also, "t16" is the timing at which the left pattern ends high-speed fluctuation (starts low-speed fluctuation), and the timing at which the right and middle patterns end high-speed fluctuation (starts low-speed fluctuation) is "t16
” and “t17”. Further, "t17" is the timing at which the left symbol starts to temporarily stop, "t18" is the timing at which the right symbol starts to temporarily stop, and "t18" and "t19" are the timings at which the middle symbol starts to temporarily stop. is between

On the other hand, in the second decoration game display section 82 of the display device 41, high-speed variation is performed from the beginning to the end. That is, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t14 to t19), the display mode of the identification information (small symbols) on the second decoration game display section 82 is maintained in the high-speed variable display mode. Further, in the collective display device 50, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t1
4 to t19), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 or the special figure 2 indicator 52 (here, the special figure 1 indicator 51) is maintained in a manner corresponding to "during fluctuation".

Then, when the variable time of the special figure 1 variable display game ends and the stop display time starts (t1
9) As shown in FIGS. 19(i) and 20, in the display device 41, the variable display ends and the game result is displayed on the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82. Along with this, the decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory) of the running memory display unit 84 disappears. Further, in the batch display device 50, the variable display is finished and the game result is displayed on the special figure 1 display device 51. FIG. After that, the special figure variation display game and the decorative special figure variation display game are terminated with the end of the stop display time. Here, the game result is "lost", and since there is no starting memory, the state shifts to the customer waiting state. In addition, if there is a starting memory, the next special figure fluctuation display game will start. Also, if the result is a big hit, it will be in the first special game state, and if it is a small hit, it will be in the second special game state.

Of course, even when the game result is "hit", the game proceeds in the same way as when the game result is "lose". That is, when the game result is "hit", only FIG. 19(i) is different among FIGS. 19(a) to (i). Specifically, if the game result is "
19(i), the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 becomes one of the result modes of "hit", and the special figure is displayed. The display mode of the 1 indicator 51 is one of the result modes of "hit".

As shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, when the special figure 1 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 1 variation display game whose result is "jackpot", the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next At the start of (t13 to t14), the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 of the display device 41 is the result mode of "big hit", and the special figure 1 of the collective display device 50 The display mode of the display 51 is the result mode of the "jackpot".
Therefore, in this case, the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82
The stop pattern (jackpot pattern) and the stop pattern (jackpot pattern) of the special figure 1 display device 51 are matched, and the variation display of the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next (special figure 1 display device 51 (variation display in the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82) and the variation display of the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next) will be started.

In addition, when the special figure 1 variation display game is executed after the special figure 1 variation display game whose result is "small hit", or when the special figure 1 variation display game is executed after the special figure 1 variation display game whose result is "loss" Similarly, in the case of executing the variable display game, in a state in which the stop symbols of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 1 display device 51 are aligned, the next Special figure 1 to be executed
The variation display of the variation display game and the variation display of the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next are started.

That is, when the special figure 1 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 1 variation display game, the stop symbols of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 and the special figure 1 display device 51
Variable display of the special figure 1 variable display game to be executed next in a state consistent with the stop pattern of
The variation display of the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next is started.
Similarly, when the special figure 2 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 2 variation display game, the stop symbols of the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 and the special figure 2 display device 52
In a state consistent with the stop pattern of, the variation display of the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next,
The variation display of the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next will be started.

21 and 22 show the case where the special figure 2 variation display game is executed after the special figure 1 variation display game with the result of "big hit". FIG. 21 is an example of display on the display device 41 and the collective display device 50, and FIG. 22 is an example of a timing chart. 21(a) and (b) are
19(a) and 19(b), the description thereof will be omitted.
When a game ball wins the normal variable winning device 37 during execution of the special figure 1 variable display game and the second start memory (second special figure reservation) is generated, the display device 41 is displayed as shown in FIG. In, the numerical value of the second starting memory number display portion 85b changes, and in the collective display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 2 reservation display 54 changes.

Then, when the variable time of the special figure 1 variable display game ends and the stop display time starts (t2
1) As shown in FIGS. 21(d) and 22, in the display device 41, the variable display ends and the game result is displayed on the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82. Along with this, the decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory) of the running memory display unit 84 disappears. Further, in the collective display device 50, the variable display is finished and the game result is displayed on the special figure 1 display device 51. FIG. Here, since the game result is a "jackpot", the display device 41 displays the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 8.
The display mode of 2 is "333" which is one of the result modes of "jackpot",
In the collective display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 1 display device 51 is one of the result modes of "jackpot".

Further, here, since the game result is "big hit", the number of the first start memory is 0 and the number of the second start memory is 1, when the stop display time ends, the special figure variation display game and the decoration are displayed. The special figure variation display game ends and the first special game state starts (t22), and when the ending time for the big hit ends, the first special game state ends and the next special figure variation display game is the special figure. The variable time of the 2-variable display game starts (t23). When the variation time of the special figure 2 variation display game starts, the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory is displayed on the standby memory display unit 83 on the display device 41, as shown in FIG. is displayed, then FIG.
As shown in (f), the decoration special figure start memory display at the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 is displayed to move to the memory display unit 84 during execution, and the numerical value of the second start memory number display unit 85b changes. Also, in the collective display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 2 pending display 54 changes.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, from the start of the variable time to the transition effect (effect to display to move the decorative special figure start memory display at the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 to the running memory display unit 84) to the start The time is when the special figure 1 fluctuation display game is executed next to the special figure 1 fluctuation display game (
19 (a), (b), 19 (e), (f), 21 (a), (b)) and special figure 2
When the special figure 2 variation display game is executed next to the variation display game, and when the special figure 2 variation display game is performed next to the special figure 1 variation display game (see FIGS. 21(e) and (f)) , It is the same as when the special figure 1 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 2 variation display game. In this embodiment, the time from the start of the variable time to the start of the transition effect is set to, for example, a second predetermined time that is shorter than the first predetermined time (the time from the start of the variable time to the start of the variable display).

Further, in the present embodiment, the decorative special figure starting memory display corresponding to the first starting memory has a circular shape, and the decorative special figure starting memory display corresponding to the second starting memory has a hexagonal shape. That is, in this embodiment, by differentiating the shape of the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory and the shape of the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory, the decoration special figure being displayed It notifies which of the first starting memory and the second starting memory the graphic starting memory display corresponds to. Of course, by changing the display mode (for example, color and size) other than the shape, it is notified whether the decoration special figure start memory display being displayed corresponds to the first start memory or the second start memory. You can make it work.

As described above, in this embodiment, the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 are hidden at the same time as the special game state is started, and thereafter, at the same time as the variable time is started, the first decoration game is displayed. The display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 reappear. Then, the result of the previous special figure variation display game is first displayed in the reappearing first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 . Here, the result of the previous special figure fluctuation display game is "
333" (see FIG. 21(d)), as shown in FIGS. second
A decoration game display section 82 appears (t23). Since the variable display of the decorative special figure variable display game is started when the first predetermined time has passed since the start of the variable time, the first predetermined time has passed since the start of the variable time (t23 to t24). , the first decorative game display section 81 and the second
The display mode of the decoration game display section 82 does not change, and the state in which "333" is stopped and displayed is maintained.

In addition, the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 of the collective display device 50 is the same display form as before the start of the special game state even during the special game state (see FIG. 21(d)). maintained in Since the variation display of the special figure variation display game is also started when the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variation time, as shown in FIG. Until the start of the fluctuation display (t21 to t24), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 does not change.

When the first predetermined time has passed since the start of the variation time (t24), as shown in FIG. ) is performed, and the variation speed gradually increases during this low-speed variation (t24 to t25), and eventually, a high-speed variation (display of variation at a speed that is difficult to identify) as shown in FIG. 21(f) is performed ( t25~
t26). After that, as shown in FIG. 21(g), the high speed fluctuation ends and the low speed fluctuation starts (t
26), the fluctuation speed gradually decreases during this low speed fluctuation (t26 to t27), and eventually comes to a temporary stop state (t27 to t29). As shown in FIG. 21(h), when the same identification information temporarily stops in the left fluctuation display area and the right fluctuation display area, the reach state is entered and the reach fluctuation starts (t28).
For the sake of convenience, FIG. 22 shows only the timing of the identification information displayed in the leftward movement display area as the identification information (large pattern) of the first decoration game display portion 81 .

On the other hand, in the second decoration game display section 82 of the display device 41, high-speed variation is performed from the beginning to the end. That is, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t24-t29), the display mode of the identification information (small symbols) on the second decoration game display section 82 is maintained in the high-speed variable display mode. Further, in the batch display device 50, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t2
4 to t29), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 or the special figure 2 indicator 52 (here, the special figure 2 indicator 52) is maintained in a manner corresponding to "during fluctuation".

Then, when the variable time of the special figure 2 variable display game ends and the stop display time starts (t2
9) As shown in FIGS. 21(i) and 22, in the display device 41, the variable display ends and the game result is displayed on the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82. Along with this, the decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory) of the running memory display unit 84 disappears. Further, in the collective display device 50, the variable display is finished and the game result is displayed on the special figure 2 display device 52. After that, the special figure variation display game and the decorative special figure variation display game are terminated with the end of the stop display time. Here, the game result is "lost" and there is no starting memory, so the state shifts to the customer waiting state.

Of course, even when the game result is "hit", the game proceeds in the same way as when the game result is "lose". That is, when the game result is "hit", only FIG. 21(i) is different among FIGS. 21(a) to (i). Specifically, if the game result is "
21(i), the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 becomes one of the result modes of the "win", and the special figure is displayed. The display mode of the second indicator 52 is one of the "win" result modes.

As shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, when the special figure 2 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 1 variation display game whose result is "jackpot", the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next (t23 to t24), the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 of the display device 41 is the result mode of "big win". Also, at the start of the special figure 2 variable display game to be executed next (t23 to t24), the special figure 2 of the collective display device 50
Since the result of the previous special figure 2 fluctuation display game is displayed on the display 52, the previous special figure 2
When the result of the variation display game is "lost", as shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, at the start of the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next (t23 to t24), the collective display device 50 The display mode of the special figure 2 indicator 52 is the result mode of "missing".

Therefore, when the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50 stops displaying the result mode of "losing", the special figure 1 fluctuation display game whose result is "jackpot" is followed by the special figure 2 When the variable display game is executed, the stop symbols (jackpot symbols) of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols (loss symbols) of the special figure 2 display device 52 are matched. In the state where it is not performed, the variation display of the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next (variation display in the special figure 2 display device 52) and the decoration special figure variation display corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game to be performed next The variable display of the game (variable display in the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82) is started.

In addition, when the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50 stops displaying the result mode of "missing", the special figure 1 fluctuation display game whose result is "minor hit" is next to the special figure Similarly, when the 2-variation display game is executed, the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 8 are displayed.
2 stop pattern (small winning pattern) and the stop pattern (missing pattern) of the special figure 2 display device 52 do not match, the variation display of the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next, and the next The variation display of the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed is started.

That is, when the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50 stops displaying the result mode of "missing", the special figure 1 fluctuation display game in which the result is "hit" is followed by the special figure 2 When executing the variable display game, the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 are displayed.
The stop pattern (hit pattern) and the stop pattern (lost pattern) of the special figure 2 display device 52 do not match, and the fluctuation display of the special figure 2 fluctuation display game to be executed next, and the next to be executed special figure 2
The variable display of the decoration special figure variable display game corresponding to the variable display game is started.

When the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50 stops displaying the result mode of "missing", the special figure 2 variation display is performed next to the special figure 1 variation display game in which the result is "hit". When executing the game, in order to start the variable display in a state in which the stop symbols of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 2 display device 52 are aligned, , At the start of the special figure 2 variable display game to be executed next (t23 to t24), the result mode of "losing" is displayed on the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 (previous game result(
It is possible to display the result of "hit" before displaying the result of "losing", or it is possible to display the result of "losing" without displaying the result of the previous game. There is Alternatively, at the start of the special figure 2 variable display game to be executed next (t23 to t24), it is necessary to display the result mode of "hit" on the special figure 2 display device 52.

In this case, the player may have the illusion that the special figure fluctuation display game has been executed even though the special figure starting memory has not been digested. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, even if the stop symbols of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 2 display device 52 are inconsistent, the inconsistency In order to start the variable display of the special figure 2 variation display game and the decorative special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game, it is possible to avoid erroneous recognition of the game situation, and the player can It is possible to smoothly progress the variable display game without giving a sense of discomfort.

FIGS. 23 and 24 show the case where the special figure 1 variation display game is executed after the special figure 2 variation display game in which the result is "big win". FIG. 23 is an example of display on the display device 41 and the batch display device 50, and FIG. 24 is an example of a timing chart.

1) As shown in FIGS. 23(d) and 24, in the display device 41, the variable display ends and the game result is displayed on the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82. Along with this, the decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory) of the running memory display unit 84 disappears. Further, in the collective display device 50, the variable display is finished and the game result is displayed on the special figure 2 display device 52. Here, since the game result is a "jackpot", the display device 41 displays the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 8.
The display mode of 2 is "333" which is one of the result modes of "jackpot",
In the collective display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 2 indicator 52 is one of the result modes of "jackpot".

Also, here, since the game result is "big hit", the number of first starting memories is 1 and the number of second starting memories is 0, when the stop display time ends, the special figure variation display game and the decoration are displayed. The special figure variation display game ends and the first special game state starts (t32), and when the ending time for the big hit ends, the first special game state ends and the next special figure variation display game is played. The variable time of one variable display game starts (t33). When the variation time of the special figure 1 variation display game starts, the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory is displayed on the standby memory display unit 83 on the display device 41, as shown in FIG. is displayed, then FIG.

Also, in the batch display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 1 pending display 53 changes.

As described above, in this embodiment, the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 are hidden at the same time as the special game state is started, and thereafter, at the same time as the variable time is started, the first decoration game is displayed. The display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 reappear. Then, the result of the previous special figure variation display game is first displayed in the reappearing first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 . Here, the result of the previous special figure fluctuation display game is "
333" (see FIG. 23(d)), as shown in FIGS. second
A decoration game display section 82 appears (t33). Since the variable display of the decorative special figure variable display game is started when the first predetermined time has passed since the start of the variable time, the first predetermined time has passed since the start of the variable time (t33 to t34). , the first decorative game display section 81 and the second
The display mode of the decoration game display section 82 does not change, and the state in which "333" is stopped and displayed is maintained.

In addition, the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 of the collective display device 50 is the same display form as before the start of the special game state even during the special game state (see FIG. 23(d)). maintained in Since the variation display of the special figure variation display game is also started when the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variation time, as shown in FIG. Until the start of the fluctuation display (t31 to t34), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 does not change.

When the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variation time (t34), as shown in FIG. ) is performed, and the variation speed gradually increases during this low-speed variation (t34 to t35), and eventually a high-speed variation (display of variation at a speed that is difficult to identify) as shown in FIG. 23(f) is performed ( t35~
t36). After that, as shown in FIG. 23(g), the high-speed fluctuation ends and the low-speed fluctuation starts (t
36), the fluctuation speed gradually decreases during this low speed fluctuation (t36 to t37), and eventually a temporary stop state is reached (t37 to t39). As shown in FIG. 23(h), when the same identification information temporarily stops in the left fluctuation display area and the right fluctuation display area, the reach state is entered and the reach fluctuation starts (t38).
For the sake of convenience, FIG. 24 shows only the timing of the identification information displayed in the leftward movement display area as the identification information (large pattern) of the first decoration game display portion 81 .

On the other hand, in the second decoration game display section 82 of the display device 41, high-speed variation is performed from the beginning to the end. That is, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t34 to t39), the display mode of the identification information (small symbols) on the second decoration game display section 82 is maintained in the high-speed variable display mode. Further, in the collective display device 50, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t3
4 to t39), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 or the special figure 2 indicator 52 (here, the special figure 1 indicator 51) is maintained in a manner corresponding to "during fluctuation".

Then, when the variable time of the special figure 1 variable display game ends and the stop display time starts (t3
9) As shown in FIGS. 23(i) and 24, in the display device 41, the variable display ends and the game results are displayed on the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82. Along with this, the decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory) of the running memory display unit 84 disappears. Further, in the batch display device 50, the variable display is finished and the game result is displayed on the special figure 1 display device 51. FIG. After that, the special figure variation display game and the decorative special figure variation display game are terminated with the end of the stop display time. Here, the game result is "lost", and since there is no starting memory, the state shifts to the customer waiting state.

Of course, even when the game result is "hit", the game proceeds in the same way as when the game result is "lose". That is, when the game result is "hit", only FIG. 23(i) is different among FIGS. 23(a) to (i). Specifically, if the game result is "
23(i), the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 becomes one of the result modes of "hit", and the special figure is displayed. The display mode of the 1 indicator 51 is one of the result modes of "hit".

As shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, when the special figure 1 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 2 variation display game whose result is "jackpot", the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next (t33 to t34), the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 of the display device 41 is the result mode of "big win". Also, at the start of the special figure 1 variable display game to be executed next (t33 to t34), the special figure 1 of the collective display device 50
Since the result of the previous special figure 1 fluctuation display game is displayed on the display 51, the previous special figure 1
When the result of the variation display game is "lost", as shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, at the start of the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next (t33 to t34), the collective display device 50 The display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 is the result mode of "missing".

Therefore, when the special figure 1 display device 51 of the collective display device 50 stops displaying the result mode of "losing", the special figure 1 is next to the special figure 2 fluctuation display game in which the result is "jackpot". When the variable display game is executed, the stop symbols (jackpot symbols) on the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols (loss symbols) on the special figure 1 display device 51 are matched. In the state where it is not performed, the variation display of the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next (variation display on the special figure 1 display device 51) and the decoration special figure variation display corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game to be performed next The variable display of the game (variable display in the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82) is started.

In addition, when the special figure 1 display device 51 of the collective display device 50 stops displaying the result mode of "missing", the special figure 2 fluctuation display game whose result is "minor hit" is next to the special figure Similarly, when executing the 1-variation display game, the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 8 are displayed.

Along with this, the decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory) of the running memory display unit 84 disappears. Further, in the collective display device 50, the variable display is finished and the game result is displayed on the special figure 1 display device 51. FIG. Here, since the game result is a "normal big win", the display mode of the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 82 in the display device 41 is one of the result modes of "normal big win". In the collective display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 is one of the result modes of "normal jackpot".

Further, here, since the game result is "big hit", the number of the first start memory is 0 and the number of the second start memory is 1, when the stop display time ends, the special figure variation display game and the decoration are displayed. The special figure variation display game ends and the first special game state starts (t42), and when the ending time of the jackpot ends, the first special game state ends and the next special figure variation display game is the special figure. The variable time of the 2-variable display game starts (t43). When the fluctuation time of the special figure 2 variation display game starts, the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory is displayed on the standby memory display unit 83 on the display device 41, as shown in FIG. is displayed and then FIG.
As shown in (f), the decoration special figure start memory display at the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 is displayed to move to the memory display unit 84 during execution, and the numerical value of the second start memory number display unit 85b changes. Also, in the collective display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 2 pending display 54 changes.

As described above, in this embodiment, the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 are hidden at the same time as the special game state is started, and thereafter, at the same time as the variable time is started, the first decoration game is displayed. The display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 reappear. Then, the result of the previous special figure variation display game is first displayed in the reappearing first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 . Here, the result of the previous special figure fluctuation display game is "
222" (see FIG. 25(d)), as shown in FIGS. second
A decoration game display section 82 appears (t43). Since the variable display of the decoration special figure variable display game is started when the first predetermined time has passed since the start of the variable time, the first predetermined time has passed since the start of the variable time (t43 to t44). , the first decorative game display section 81 and the second
The display mode of the decoration game display section 82 does not change, and the state in which "222" is stopped and displayed is maintained.

In addition, the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 of the collective display device 50 is the same display form as before the start of the special game state even during the special game state (see FIG. 25(d)). maintained in Since the variation display of the special figure variation display game is also started when the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variation time, as shown in FIG. Until the start of the fluctuation display (t41 to t44), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 does not change.

When the first predetermined time has passed since the start of the variation time (t44), as shown in FIG. ) is performed, and the variation speed gradually increases during this low-speed variation (t44 to t45), and eventually a high-speed variation (display of variation at a speed that is difficult to identify) as shown in FIG. 25(f) is performed ( t45~
t46). After that, as shown in FIG. 25(g), the high-speed fluctuation ends and the low-speed fluctuation starts (t
46), the fluctuation speed gradually decreases during this low speed fluctuation (t46 to t47), and eventually a temporary stop state is reached (t47 to t49). As shown in FIG. 25(h), when the same identification information temporarily stops in the left fluctuation display area and the right fluctuation display area, the reach state is entered and the reach fluctuation starts (t48).
For the sake of convenience, FIG. 26 shows only the timing of the identification information displayed in the leftward movement display area as the identification information (large pattern) of the first decoration game display portion 81 .

On the other hand, in the second decoration game display section 82 of the display device 41, high-speed variation is performed from the beginning to the end. That is, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t44 to t49), the display mode of the identification information (small symbols) on the second decoration game display section 82 is maintained in the high-speed variable display mode. Further, in the collective display device 50, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t4
4 to t49), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 or the special figure 2 indicator 52 (here, the special figure 2 indicator 52) is maintained in a manner corresponding to "during fluctuation".

Then, when the variable time of the special figure 2 variable display game ends and the stop display time starts (t4
9) As shown in FIGS. 25(i) and 26, in the display device 41, the variable display ends and the game result is displayed on the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82. Along with this, the decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory) of the running memory display unit 84 disappears. Further, in the batch display device 50, the variable display is finished and the game result is displayed on the special figure 2 display device 52. After that, the special figure variation display game and the decorative special figure variation display game are terminated with the end of the stop display time. Here, the game result is "lost", and since there is no starting memory, the state shifts to the customer waiting state.

Of course, even when the game result is "hit", the game progresses in the same way as when the game result is "lose". That is, when the game result is "hit", only FIG. 25(i) is different among FIGS. 25(a) to (i). Specifically, if the game result is "
25(i), the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 becomes one of the result modes of "hit", and the special figure is displayed. The display mode of the second indicator 52 is one of the "win" result modes.

As shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, when the special figure 2 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 1 variation display game whose result is "normal jackpot", the special figure 2 variation display to be executed next At the start of the game (t43 to t44), the display mode of the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 82 of the display device 41 is the result mode of "normal jackpot". Also, at the start of the special figure 2 variable display game to be executed next (t43 to t44), the collective display device 50
Since the result of the previous special figure 2 variation display game is displayed on the special figure 2 display device 52, if the result of the previous special figure 2 variation display game is "probability variation big hit", Figure 25 and As shown in FIG. 26, at the start of the special figure 2 variable display game to be executed next (t43 to t44), the display mode of the special figure 2 indicator 52 of the collective display device 50 is the result mode of "probability variation big hit" is.

Therefore, when the result mode of "probability variation big hit" is stopped and displayed on the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50, the result is "normal big hit" special next to the special figure 1 fluctuation display game When the FIG. 2 variation display game is executed, the stop symbols (normal jackpot symbols) of the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 2 display 52 (variable jackpot symbols) ), the variation display of the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next (variation display on the special figure 2 display device 52) and the decoration corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game to be performed next The variable display of the special figure variable display game (variable display in the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 82) is started.

In addition, when the result mode of "normal big hit" is stopped and displayed on the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50, the special figure 1 variable display game whose result is "probability variable big hit" Figure 2
Similarly, when the variable display game is executed, the stop symbols (probability variable jackpot symbols) on the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols (normal jackpot symbols) on the special figure 2 display 52 are displayed. In a state inconsistent, the variation display of the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next and the variation display of the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next are started. The Rukoto.

That is, when the result mode of the "first big hit" is stopped and displayed on the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50, the result is a "second big hit" different from the first big hit. When the special figure 2 variation display game is executed after the variation display game in FIG. Display 5
In the state where the stop pattern (first big hit pattern) of 2 is not consistent, the variation display of the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next and the decoration special figure corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next The variable display of the variable display game is started.
Here, one of the "normal jackpot" and "probability variable jackpot" is set as "first jackpot",
Although the other is defined as the "second big hit", it is not limited to this. For example, "10R jackpot", "7
One of the "R jackpot" and "2R jackpot" is the "first jackpot" and the other one is the "second jackpot".
Similarly, in the case of "big hit", the variable display of the next game is started in a state in which the stop symbols do not match.

For example, when the result mode of "probability variation big hit" is stopped on the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50, the result is "normal big hit" special next to the special figure 1 fluctuation display game When the FIG. 2 variation display game is executed, the variation display is started in a state in which the stop symbols of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 2 display device 52 are matched. In order to do so, at the start of the special figure 2 variable display game to be executed next (t43 to t44), the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 display the result mode of "variable probability big hit". Display (the result of the previous game (result form of "normal jackpot") may be displayed before displaying the result form of "probability variation jackpot"), or the result of "probability variation jackpot" may be displayed without displaying the previous game result. You may indicate the mode). Alternatively, at the start of the special figure 2 variable display game to be executed next (t43 to t44), it is necessary to display the result mode of "normal jackpot" on the special figure 2 display device 52.

In this case, the player may have the illusion that the special figure fluctuation display game has been executed even though the special figure starting memory has not been digested. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, even if the stop symbols of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 2 display device 52 are inconsistent, the inconsistency In order to start the variable display of the special figure 2 variation display game and the decorative special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game, it is possible to avoid erroneous recognition of the game situation, and the player can It is possible to smoothly progress the variable display game without giving a sense of discomfort.
In addition, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the high probability state is reached depending on whether or not the game ball flows into the specific area (variable probability operating area). If game balls do not flow into the specific area, the high probability state does not occur, and even if the jackpot type is normal jackpot, if the game balls flow into the specific area, the high probability state is reached.

27 and 28 show the case where the special figure 1 variation display game is executed after the special figure 2 variation display game with the result of "normal big hit". FIG. 27 is an example of display on the display device 41 and the collective display device 50, and FIG. 28 is an example of a timing chart.
In FIG. 27(a), during the stop display time of the special figure 2 variable display game in which the result is "lost", the number of first starting memories is 0 and the number of second starting memories is 1. state. Here, since the game result is "lost", the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 on the display device 41 is one of the result modes of "losing". is "123", and in the collective display device 50, the special figure 2 indicator 52
is the result mode of "mismatch". Further, in the example shown in FIG. 27(a), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 is one of the result modes of "probability variation big hit".

And here, since the game result is "lost", the number of first start memories is 0 and the number of second start memories is 1, when the stop display time ends, the special figure fluctuation display game and decoration After the special figure variation display game ends, the variation time of the special figure 2 variation display game, which is the next special figure variation display game, starts. When the fluctuation time of the special figure 2 fluctuation display game starts, FIG.

Also, in the batch display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 1 pending display 53 changes.

As described above, in this embodiment, the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 are hidden at the same time as the special game state is started, and thereafter, at the same time as the variable time is started, the first decoration game is displayed. The display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 reappear. Then, the result of the previous special figure variation display game is first displayed in the reappearing first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 . Here, the result of the previous special figure fluctuation display game is "
222" (see FIG. 27(d)), as shown in FIGS. second
A decoration game display section 82 appears (t53). Since the variable display of the decorative special figure variable display game is started when the first predetermined time elapses from the start of the variable time, the first predetermined time elapses from the start of the variable time (t53 to t54) , the first decorative game display section 81 and the second
The display mode of the decoration game display section 82 does not change, and the state in which "222" is stopped and displayed is maintained.

In addition, the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 of the collective display device 50 is the same display form as before the start of the special game state even during the special game state (see FIG. 27(d)). maintained in Since the variation display of the special figure variation display game is also started when the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variation time, as shown in FIG. Until the start of the fluctuation display (t51 to t54), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 does not change.

When the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variation time (t54), as shown in FIG. ) is performed, and the variation speed gradually increases during this low-speed variation (t54 to t55), and eventually, a high-speed variation (display of variation at a speed that is difficult to identify) as shown in FIG. 27(f) is performed ( t55~
t56). After that, as shown in FIG. 27(g), the high-speed fluctuation ends and the low-speed fluctuation starts (t
56), the fluctuation speed gradually decreases during this low speed fluctuation (t56 to t57), and eventually a temporary stop state is reached (t57 to t59). As shown in FIG. 27(h), when the same identification information temporarily stops in the left fluctuation display area and the right fluctuation display area, the reach state is entered and the reach fluctuation starts (t58).
For the sake of convenience, FIG. 28 shows only the timing of the identification information displayed in the leftward movement display area as the identification information (large pattern) of the first decoration game display portion 81 .

On the other hand, in the second decoration game display section 82 of the display device 41, high-speed variation is performed from the beginning to the end. That is, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t54 to t59), the display mode of the identification information (small symbols) on the second decoration game display section 82 is maintained in the high-speed variable display mode. Further, in the collective display device 50, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t5

Along with this, the decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory) of the running memory display unit 84 disappears. Further, in the collective display device 50, the variable display is finished and the game result is displayed on the special figure 1 display device 51. FIG. After that, the special figure variation display game and the decorative special figure variation display game are terminated with the end of the stop display time. Here, the game result is "lost" and there is no starting memory, so the state shifts to the customer waiting state.

Of course, even when the game result is "hit", the game proceeds in the same way as when the game result is "lose". That is, when the game result is "hit", only FIG. 27(i) is different among FIGS. 27(a) to (i). Specifically, if the game result is "
27(i), the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 becomes one of the result modes of "hit", and the special figure is displayed. The display mode of the 1 indicator 51 is one of the result modes of "hit".

As shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, when the special figure 1 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 2 variation display game whose result is "normal jackpot", the special figure 1 variation display to be executed next At the start of the game (t53 to t54), the display mode of the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 82 of the display device 41 is the result mode of "normal big win". Also, at the start of the special figure 1 variable display game to be executed next (t53 to t54), the collective display device 50
Since the result of the previous special figure 1 variation display game is displayed on the special figure 1 display device 51, if the result of the previous special figure 1 variation display game is "probable variation big hit", FIG. As shown in FIG. 28, at the start of the special figure 1 variable display game to be executed next (t53 to t54), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 of the collective display device 50 is the result mode of "probability variation big hit" is.

Therefore, when the result mode of "probability variation big hit" is stopped on the special figure 1 display device 51 of the collective display device 50, the result is "normal big hit" special next to the special figure 2 fluctuation display game When the FIG. 1 variable display game is executed, the stop symbols (normal jackpot symbols) on the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 and the stop symbols on the special figure 1 display 51 (variable jackpot symbols) ), the variation display of the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next (variation display on the special figure 1 display device 51) and the decoration corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next The variable display of the special figure variable display game (variable display in the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 82) is started.

Here, one of the "probable variable jackpot" and the "normal jackpot" is set as the "first jackpot",
Although the other is defined as the "second big hit", it is not limited to this. For example, "10R jackpot", "7
One of the R jackpot and the 2R jackpot is the first jackpot, and the other one is the second jackpot.
Similarly, in the case of "big hit", the variable display of the next game is started in a state in which the stop symbols do not match.

For example, when the result mode of "probability variation big hit" is stopped and displayed on the special figure 1 display device 51 of the collective display device 50, the result is "normal big hit" special next to the special figure 2 fluctuation display game When executing the FIG. 1 variable display game, the variable display is started in a state in which the stop symbols of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 1 display device 51 are matched. In order to do so, at the start of the special figure 1 variable display game to be executed next (t53 to t54), the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 display the result mode of "variable probability big hit". Display (the result of the previous game (the result of the "normal jackpot") may be displayed before displaying the result of the "variable jackpot"), or the result of the "variable jackpot" may be displayed without displaying the result of the previous game. You may indicate the mode). Alternatively, at the start of the special figure 1 variable display game to be executed next (t53 to t54), it is necessary to display the result mode of "normal jackpot" on the special figure 1 display device 51.

In this case, the player may have the illusion that the special figure fluctuation display game has been executed even though the special figure starting memory has not been digested. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, even if the stop symbols of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 1 display device 51 are inconsistent, the inconsistency In order to start the variable display of the special figure 1 variation display game and the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game, it is possible to avoid erroneous recognition of the game situation, and the player can It is possible to smoothly progress the variable display game without giving a sense of discomfort.

Thus, in the present embodiment, at the start of the special figure 1 variation display game (between the start of the variation time of the special figure 1 variation display game and the start of the variation display), the first The stop symbols of the decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82, and the special figure 1 of the collective display device 50
When the stop pattern of the display device 51 is consistent, the special figure 1 variation display game and the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game remain in the matching state. Start the display, and if it is not consistent, start the variable display of the special figure 1 variation display game and the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game in the inconsistent state Therefore, the progress of the game can be smoothly performed.

Also, at the start of the special figure 2 variation display game (between the start of the variation time of the special figure 2 variation display game and the start of the variation display), the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second display device 41 2
When the stop pattern of the decoration game display unit 82 and the stop pattern of the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50 are consistent, the special figure 2 fluctuation display game and the Start the variable display of the decorative special figure variable display game corresponding to the special figure 2 variable display game, and if it is not consistent, the special figure 2 variable display game and the special figure will remain in the inconsistent state Since the variable display of the decoration special figure variable display game corresponding to the 2 variable display game is started, the progress of the game can be smoothly performed.

Hereinafter, when the stop pattern of the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 and the stop pattern of the special figure 1 display device 51 are consistent at the start of the special figure 1 fluctuation display game, and the special figure The case where the stop symbols of the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 2 display device 52 are matched at the start of the 2-variation display game is simply referred to as "matching If there is
Also, when the stop pattern of the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 and the stop pattern of the special figure 1 display device 51 are not consistent at the start of the special figure 1 variable display game, and the special figure 2
The case where the stop symbols of the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 2 display device 52 do not match at the start of the variable display game is simply referred to as "not matching. case”.

In the above description, as an example of "if consistent", when the special figure 1 fluctuation display game is executed next to the special figure 1 fluctuation display game, and when the special figure 2 fluctuation display game is followed by the special figure 2 fluctuation Although the case where the display game is executed has been mentioned, the "matching case" is not limited to these cases. For example, when the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50 stops displaying the result mode of "big hit", the special figure 1 variable display game with the result of "big hit" is followed by the special figure 2. When executing a variable display game, or when the result mode of "missing" is stopped on the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50, the special figure 1 variable display in which the result is "missing" Also when executing the special figure 2 fluctuation display game next to the game, it is "matched".

Also, in the above description, as an example of "not matching", the result mode of "missing" is stopped on the special figure 2 indicator 52 of the collective display device 50, and the result is "hit "When the special figure 2 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 1 variation display game (see FIGS. 21 and 22), and the result mode of "missing" on the special figure 1 indicator 51 of the collective display device 50 is stopped and the result is "hit" Special figure 1 variation display game is executed next to special figure 2 variation display game (see FIGS. 23 and 24), and collective display device 50 Special figure 2 fluctuation display game next to special figure 1 fluctuation display game in which the result mode of "first big hit" is stopped and displayed on special figure 2 display device 52 and the result is "second big hit" (see FIGS. 25 and 26), and when the result mode of "first big hit" is stopped on the special figure 1 display 51 of the collective display device 50 and the result is "second big hit "When the special figure 1 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 2 variation display game (see FIGS. 27 and 28), but "if not consistent" is limited to these cases. not. For example, the special figure 2 of the collective display device 50
When the special figure 1 variation display game is executed after the special figure 1 variation display game in which the result mode of "hit" is stopped and displayed on the display device 52 and the result is "loss", or when the special figure 2 variation display game is executed, or collective display Special figure 2 display 52 of the device 50 when the result mode of "either one of the big hit or the small hit" is stopped and the result is "either the other of the big hit or the small hit" Figure 1
Even when executing the special figure 2 variable display game next to the variable display game, "if not consistent"
becomes.

Here, the identification information (large pattern) of the first decoration game display section 81 starts slow fluctuation (starts fluctuation display) in the order of the left fluctuation display area, the right fluctuation display area, and the middle fluctuation display area, and then the left fluctuation display area. The high-speed fluctuation display area, the right fluctuation display area, and the middle fluctuation display area start high-speed fluctuation (the low-speed fluctuation ends) at the same time. End (start slow variation).
As shown in FIGS. 20, 22, 24, 26, and 28, the effect control device 300 is the first
In order to display the desired result mode (here, "424") on the decoration game display unit 81,
The identification information (large pattern) of the first decorative game display section 81 is set at the start of the high-speed fluctuation (t15, t25).
, t35, t45, t55) and at the end of the high-speed fluctuation (t16, t26, t36, t46,
t56).

For example, in the examples shown in FIGS. 20, 22, and 24, the result of the previous special figure variation display game is "
333”, the variable display starting from “333” starts (t14, t24, t3
4). Then, the effect control device 300, at the start of the large pattern high-speed fluctuation (t15, t25, t
35), a variable display starting with "333" is displayed in a predetermined fixed result mode (e.g. "
123”) is executed to replace with variable display. Also, at the end of the high-speed fluctuation of the large symbols (t16, t26, t36), the fluctuation display starting from the fixed result mode,
Second replacement to replace with a variable display that starts with the result mode calculated backward based on the game result, the remaining variable time (t16-t19, t26-t29, t36-t39), and the variable pattern (whether or not the reach state occurs, etc.) Execute the process.

In addition, in the example shown in FIGS. 26 and 28, since the result of the last special figure variation display game is "222", the variation display starting from "222" is started (t44, t54). Then, the effect control device 300 changes the variable display starting from "222" to the variable display starting from a predetermined fixed result mode (for example, "123") at the start of the high-speed fluctuation of the large pattern (t45, t55). A first replacement process is performed to replace the . Also, at the end of the high-speed fluctuation of the large pattern (t46, t
56), the game result and the remaining variable time (t46
~ t49, t56 ~ t59) and fluctuation patterns (whether or not a reach state has occurred, etc.) and the like, and a second replacement process is executed to replace with the variable display starting from the result mode calculated backward.
Execution of these replacement processes is reserved, for example, in the variable command process (step C236 in FIG. 18).

In order to stop display a desired result mode on the first decorative game display section 81, it is also possible to replace the large symbols during low speed fluctuation or temporary stop display. However, in that case, the player may notice that the large pattern has been replaced, and the interest in the game may be reduced. On the other hand, by replacing the large symbols during high-speed fluctuation as in the present embodiment, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to notice that the large symbols have been replaced.

It should be noted that the timing for replacing the large symbols can be appropriately changed as long as the large symbols are changing at high speed.
Also, the number of times the large pattern is replaced is not limited to two times and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the number of times that the large pattern is replaced may be one time.
It is better to execute only replacement processing. Specifically, for example, at the start of the high-speed fluctuation of the large pattern (or after the start of the high-speed fluctuation of the large pattern and before the end of the high-speed fluctuation, the large pattern ), the variable display starting from the result mode of the previous special figure variable display game is replaced with the variable display starting from the result mode calculated backward based on the game result etc. Second replacement It is better to process. Moreover, when the number of times of replacing the large pattern is plural times, it is preferable that the last replacement process is the second replacement process.

Further, in the first decorative game display section 81, the reach variation may be performed directly from the high speed variation without going through the low speed variation instead of performing the reach variation from the high speed variation via the low speed variation. If the low-speed variation is not passed, for example, when the high-speed variation of the large symbols ends, the large symbols (for example, the left symbol and the right symbol) that are temporarily stopped and displayed on the first decoration game display section 81 are displayed in a desired reach mode (desired You may perform a replacement process to replace with a reach pattern).

On the other hand, the identification information (small symbols) of the second decorative game display section 82 starts to fluctuate at high speed (starts fluctuating display) at the same time in the left area, right area, and middle area. At the same time as the region, the high-speed fluctuation ends (finishes the fluctuation display).
As shown in FIGS. 20, 22, 24, 26 and 28, the effect control device 300 is the second
In order to stop display the desired result mode (here, "424") on the decoration game display unit 82,
The identification information (small symbols) of the second decoration game display section 82 is displayed at the end of the high-speed fluctuation (t19, t29).
, t39, t49, t59). Specifically, at the end of the high-speed fluctuation of small symbols,
It is configured to perform a third replacement process of replacing the small symbols stopped and displayed on the second decoration game display section 82 with a desired result mode.
Execution of the third replacement process is reserved, for example, in the variable command process (step C236 in FIG. 18).

It should be noted that the timing of replacing the small symbols can be appropriately changed as long as the small symbols are changing at high speed. In the case of replacing the small symbols at a timing other than the end of the high-speed variation of the small symbols, a first replacement process may be executed to replace the variable display starting from a predetermined fixed result mode. A second replacement process may be executed to replace the variable display with a variable display starting from the result mode calculated backward based on the remaining variable time, the variable pattern, and the like.
When executing the second replacement process for replacing the small symbols, the third replacement process need not be performed when the high-speed fluctuation of the small symbols ends.
Further, when executing the first replacement process for replacing the small symbols, either the second replacement process for replacing the small symbols is performed after the first replacement processing, or the small symbols are replaced at high speed. It is preferable to execute the third replacement process at the end of the fluctuation.

Also, the number of times that the small pattern is replaced may be one time, or may be multiple times. If the number of times the small symbols are replaced is one, it is preferable to perform only the second replacement process without performing the first replacement process, or to perform only the third replacement process. Further, when the number of times of replacing the small symbols is plural times, it is preferable that the last replacement process is the second replacement process or the third replacement process.

In this embodiment, the time from the start of the variable time to the start of the variable display is "matched" (eg, t13 to t14) and "not matched" (eg, t23 to t
24, t33-t34, t43-t44, t53-t54).
In addition, the time from the start of the fluctuation display to the start of the high-speed fluctuation of the large pattern is "matched" (eg, t14 to t15) and "not matched" (eg, t24 to t25,
t34-t35, t44-t45, t54-t55) are the same.
In addition, the time from the start of the high-speed fluctuation of the large pattern to the end of the high-speed fluctuation of the large pattern is "matched" (eg, t15 to t16) and "not matched" (eg, t25 to t16).
t26, t35-t36, t45-t46, t55-t56).

In addition, the time from the start of the large pattern low speed fluctuation to the end of the large pattern low speed fluctuation is "matched" (for example, t16 to t17) and "not matched" (for example, t26 to
t27, t36-t37, t46-t47, t56-t57).
In addition, the time from the start of the temporary stop display of the large pattern to the start of the reach fluctuation of the large pattern is "matched" (eg, t17 to t18) and "not matched" (eg, t2
7 to t28, t37 to t38, t47 to t48, t57 to t58).
In addition, the time from the start of the reach fluctuation of the large pattern to the end of the fluctuation time is "matched" (eg, t18 to t19) and "not matched" (eg, t28 to t29
, t38-t39, t48-t49, t58-t59).

Thus, the time from the start of the fluctuation time to the start of the fluctuation display, the time from the start of the fluctuation display to the start of the large pattern high-speed fluctuation, and the time from the start of the large pattern high-speed fluctuation to the end of the large pattern high-speed fluctuation the time from the start of the large pattern low speed fluctuation to the end of the large pattern low speed fluctuation, the time from the start of the large pattern temporary stop display to the start of the large pattern reach fluctuation, and the large pattern reach By making the time from the start of the fluctuation to the end of the fluctuation time the same for "if it is consistent" and "if it is not consistent", start the fluctuation display in an inconsistent state It is possible to set the variation time for the case of the display to be the same as the variation time for the case where the variation display is started in the matching state. That is, there is no need to determine whether or not there is a match when determining the fluctuation time (variation pattern).
It should be noted that at least one of these times may be different between "when matching" and "when not matching". If they are made different, it is necessary to determine whether or not they match when determining the variation time (variation pattern), so the processing load increases accordingly.

From the above, the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment executes a variable display game (special figure variable display game) that variably displays the identification information based on the establishment of the starting condition, and the result mode of the variable display game is a special result. A gaming machine that generates a special game state when the state is set, and is a first variable display game based on satisfaction of a first start condition (a prize in a start winning port 36) among the start conditions as a variable display game. First variable display means (special figure 1 display device 51) capable of displaying (special figure 1 variation display game), and establishment of the second start condition among the start conditions as a variation display game (to normal variation winning device 37 Control the second variable display means (special figure 2 display device 52) capable of displaying the second variable display game (special figure 2 variable display game) based on the winning), the first variable display means and the second variable display means Corresponding to the game control means (game control device 100) and the variable display game, the identification pattern (
A performance display means capable of displaying a first decoration game for variably displaying a large pattern) and a second decoration game for variably displaying an identification pattern (small pattern) corresponding to the variable display game and smaller than the first decoration game. (Display device 41) and production control means (production control device 300) that controls the production display means
and, when executing the second variable display game after the first variable display game, the second variable display game
At the start of the variable display game, the result mode statically displayed on the second variable display means and the result mode of the first decorative game (and/or the second decorative game) statically displayed on the effect display means are different. There are cases where they do not match, and in that case, the game control means starts variable display of the identification information in the second variable display game without performing processing to make these result modes match. The effect control means is configured to start variable display of identification symbols in the first decorative game (and/or second decorative game) corresponding to the second variable display game (FIGS. 21 and 25). reference).

Therefore, at the start of the second variation display game (between the start of the variation time of the special figure 2 variation display game and the start of the variation display), the stop pattern of the effect display means (display device 41),
When the stop symbol of the second variable display means (special figure 2 display device 52) does not match, it corresponds to the second variable display game and the second variable display game in the state of not matching. Since the variable display of the first decoration game (and/or the second decoration game) is started, the game can be progressed smoothly and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

The first variation display game may be the special figure 2 variation display game, and the second variation display game may be the special figure 1 variation display game (see FIGS. 23 and 27).
In this case, at the start of the second variation display game (between the start of the variation time of the special figure 1 variation display game and the start of the variation display), the stop pattern of the effect display means (display device 41), When the stop symbol of the second variable display means (special figure 1 display device 51) does not match, the second variable display game and the second variable display game are performed in the mismatched state. Since the variable display of the first decoration game (and/or the second decoration game) is started, the game can be progressed smoothly and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

Further, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, if the match is not made, the result mode of the first variation display game (special figure 1 variation display game) becomes a special result mode ("hit" result mode). At the end of the special game state that occurred, the result mode stopped and displayed on the second variable display means (special figure 2 display device 52) is a result mode other than the special result mode ("loss" result mode) And, the number of starting memories (first starting memory) that is the right to execute the first fluctuation display game (special figure 1 fluctuation display game) is 0, and the second fluctuation display game (special figure 2 fluctuation display game) The number of starting memory (second starting memory) to be the execution right is one or more, in which case the game control means (game control device 100), after the end of the special game state, the second From a state in which result modes other than the special result mode are stopped and displayed in the second variable display means, variable display of the identification information in the second variable display game is started, and the effect control means (effect control device 300)
After the end of the special game state, the variable display starting from the special result mode is started as the variable display of the identification symbols in the first decorative game (and/or the second decorative game) corresponding to the second variable display game. (See FIGS. 21 and 25).

By configuring in this way, at the start of the second variation display game (between the start of the variation time of the special figure 2 variation display game and the start of the variation display), the effect display means (display device 41)
is a winning pattern, and the stopped pattern of the second variation display means (special figure 2 display device 52) is a lost pattern, the second variation display game and the second variation display remain in that state. Since the variable display of the first decorative game (and/or the second decorative game) corresponding to the game can be started, the progress of the game can be smoothly performed, and the interest in the game can be enhanced. .

The first variation display game may be the special figure 2 variation display game, and the second variation display game may be the special figure 1 variation display game (see FIGS. 23 and 27).
In this case, at the start of the second variable display game (between the start of the variable display of the special figure 1 variable display game and the start of the variable display), the stop pattern of the effect display means (display device 41) hits. pattern, and when the stop pattern of the second variation display means (special figure 1 display device 51) is a lost pattern, the second variation display game and the second variation display game corresponding to the second variation display game remain in that state. Since the variable display of the first decoration game (and/or the second decoration game) can be started, the game can be smoothly progressed, and the interest in the game can be enhanced.

Further, the special result mode at the time when the special game state in which the result mode of the first variable display game is the special result mode is ended is not limited to the "win" result mode. That is, the special result mode may be only the result mode of "big win" among the result modes of "hit", or only the result mode of "minor win" among the result modes of "hit". It may be only the result mode of "probability variable big win" among the result modes of "hit", or only the result mode of "normal jackpot" among the result modes of "hit". It may be only the result mode of "10R jackpot" among the result modes of "hit", or the result mode of "hit" may be "
It may be only the result mode of "7R hit", or "2R hit" among the result modes of "hit".
It may be only the result mode of.

In this embodiment, the special figure 2 variation display game is preferentially executed over the special figure 1 variation display game. That is, the game control means (game control device 300), in a state in which the starting memory as the execution right of the special figure 1 fluctuation display game and the start memory as the execution right of the special figure 2 fluctuation display game are stored, It is configured to execute the 2-variation display game with priority over the special figure 1-variation display game.

Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to execute the special figure 2 variation display game next to the special figure 1 variation display game, the special game that occurred with the result mode of the special figure 1 variation display game as a special result mode At the end of the state, if the second starting memory number is 1 or greater, the first starting memory number is 0.
It does not have to be 1 (that is, the number of first starting memories may be 1 or more).
That is, in a gaming machine in which the special figure 2 variation display game is executed with priority over the special figure 1 variation display game, the first variation display game is the special figure 1 variation display game, and the second variation display game is the special figure 2 variation. In order to execute the second variation display game (special figure 2 variation display game) next to the first variation display game (special figure 1 variation display game) when making it a display game, the first variation display game ( At the end of the special game state in which the result mode of the special figure 1 variable display game) has become the special result mode, the starting memory that becomes the right to execute the second variable display game (special figure 2 variable display game) (
The number of the second starting memory) is 1 or more", but the starting memory (first starting memory) that is the right to execute the first variable display game (special figure 1 variable display game) number is 0
It is not necessary to meet the condition of being an individual.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in order to execute the special figure 1 variation display game next to the special figure 2 variation display game, the special game that occurred with the result mode of the special figure 2 variation display game as a special result mode At the end of the state, the first starting memory number must be greater than or equal to one and the second starting memory number must be zero.
That is, in a gaming machine in which the special figure 2 variation display game is executed with priority over the special figure 1 variation display game, the first variation display game is the special figure 2 variation display game, and the second variation display game is the special figure 1 variation. In order to execute the second variation display game (special figure 1 variation display game) next to the first variation display game (special figure 2 variation display game) when making it a display game, the first variation display game ( At the end of the special game state in which the result mode of the special figure 2 variable display game) has become the special result mode, the "starting memory that becomes the right to execute the first variable display game (special figure 2 variable display game) (
The number of second starting memories) is 0" and "the number of starting memories (first starting memories) that is the right to execute the second variable display game (special figure 1 variable display game) is 1 or more. It is necessary to satisfy both the condition that

In addition, the gaming machine 10 may be a gaming machine in which the special figure 1 variation display game is preferentially executed over the special figure 2 variation display game.
In this case, in order to execute the special figure 2 variation display game next to the special figure 1 variation display game, the special game state that occurred when the result mode of the special figure 1 variation display game became the special result mode is terminated. Sometimes, the second starting memory number should be greater than or equal to one and the first starting memory number should be zero.
That is, in a gaming machine in which the special figure 1 variation display game is executed with priority over the special figure 2 variation display game, the first variation display game is the special figure 1 variation display game, and the second variation display game is the special figure 2 variation. In order to execute the second variation display game (special figure 2 variation display game) next to the first variation display game (special figure 1 variation display game) when making it a display game, the first variation display game ( At the end of the special game state in which the result mode of the special figure 1 variation display game) has become the special result mode, the "starting memory that becomes the right to execute the first variation display game (special figure 1 variation display game) (
The number of first starting memories) is 0" and "the number of starting memories (second starting memories) that is the right to execute the second variation display game (special figure 2 variation display game) is 1 or more It is necessary to satisfy both the condition that

On the other hand, in this case, in order to execute the special figure 1 variation display game next to the special figure 2 variation display game, the special game state in which the result mode of the special figure 2 variation display game becomes the special result mode At the end of , if the number of first start memories is one or more, the number of second start memories does not have to be zero (that is, the number of second start memories may be one or more).
That is, in a gaming machine in which the special figure 1 variation display game is executed with priority over the special figure 2 variation display game, the first variation display game is the special figure 2 variation display game, and the second variation display game is the special figure 1 variation. In order to execute the second variation display game (special figure 1 variation display game) next to the first variation display game (special figure 2 variation display game) when making it a display game, the first variation display game ( At the end of the special game state that occurred when the result mode of the special figure 2 variable display game) became the special result mode, the "starting memory that becomes the right to execute the second variable display game (special figure 1 variable display game) (
The number of the first starting memory) is 1 or more", but the starting memory (second starting memory) that is the right to execute the first variable display game (special figure 2 variable display game) number is 0
It is not necessary to meet the condition of being an individual.

In addition, the gaming machine 10 includes a first variation display game (one of a special figure 1 variation display game and a special figure 2 variation display game) and a second variation display game (special figure 1 variation display game and special figure 2 variation display (the other of the games) may be executed in order of winning.
In this case, in order to execute the second variable display game after the first variable display game, at the end of the special game state in which the result mode of the first variable display game is the special result mode, " Both the condition that "the number of starting memories that give the right to execute the first variable display game is 0" and the condition that "the number of starting memories that give the right to execute the second variable display game is 1 or more". or "the earliest starting memory among the starting memory that is the right to execute the first variable display game and the right to execute the second variable display game is the right to execute the second variable display game. It is necessary to satisfy the condition that it is a starting memory that is

That is, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the game control means (game control device 100) stores a start memory that is the right to execute the first variable display game and a start memory that is the right to execute the second variable display game. It is possible to configure so that the variation display game (special figure variation display game) is executed in the order in which it is stored.
And, when configured in this way, if the above is not matched,
At the end of the special game state generated when the result mode of the first variable display game is the special result mode, the result mode stopped and displayed on the second variable display means is a result mode other than the special result mode. and the number of starting memories serving as the right to execute the first variable display game is 0 and the number of starting memories serving as the right to execute the second variable display game is 1 or more;
At the end of the special game state generated when the result mode of the first variable display game is the special result mode, the result mode stopped and displayed on the second variable display means is a result mode other than the special result mode. and the number of starting memories serving as the right to execute the first variable display game is one or more, and the number of starting memories serving as the right to execute the second variable display game is one or more. and the case where the starting memory stored first is the starting memory that is the right to execute the second variable display game, and in these cases,
After the end of the special game state, the game control means changes the display of the identification information in the second variable display game from the state in which the second variable display means stops displaying the result modes other than the special result mode. and start
After the end of the special game state, the effect control means starts from the special result mode as the variable display of the identification symbols in the first decoration game (and/or the second decoration game) corresponding to the second variation display game. It can be configured to initiate a floating display.

With this configuration, at the start of the second variable display game (between the start of the variable time and the start of the variable display), the stop symbol on the effect display means (display device 41) is the winning symbol. If the stopped symbol on the second variable display means is a lost symbol, the second variable display game and the first decorative game (and/or the second decorative game) corresponding to the second variable display game remain in that state. Since the variable display of the game can be started, the progress of the game can be smoothly performed, and the interest in the game can be enhanced.

In addition, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the effect control means (the effect control device 300) changes the display mode of the identification pattern to the A low-speed fluctuation display mode in which the identification symbols are identifiable and a high-speed fluctuation display mode in which the identification symbols are difficult to identify are convertible, and the variation display of the identification symbols in the first decoration game corresponding to the second variation display game is possible. The time from the start to the start of the low-speed variation display mode through the high-speed variation display mode is the result mode stopped and displayed on the second variation display means at the start of the second variation display game and the effect display. If the result mode of the first decoration game stopped and displayed on the means is consistent (t14 to t16), and if not consistent (t24 to t26, t3
4 to t36, t44 to t46, and t54 to 56).
By configuring in this way, it is possible to set the fluctuation time to the same time when the variable display is started in an inconsistent state and in the case where the variable display is started in a consistent state. Compared to a configuration in which the time from the start of the fluctuation display of information (large pattern) to the start of low-speed fluctuation through high-speed fluctuation is different between "when matching" and "when not matching". , the processing load can be reduced.

In addition, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the effect control means (effect control device 300) changes the display mode of the identification pattern to the The identification pattern can be converted into a difficult-to-identify high-speed change display mode, and after the start of the change display of the identification pattern in the second decoration game corresponding to the second change-display game, the change display is performed through the high-speed change display mode. Time until completion (t14-t19, t24-t29, t
34 to t39, t44 to t49, t54 to 59) are the result mode stopped and displayed on the second variable display means and the second variable displayed on the effect display means at the start of the second variable display game. The result mode of the decoration game is configured to be the same between when (t14 to t19) is consistent and when it is not (t24 to t29, t34 to t39, t44 to t49, t54 to 59). be able to.
By configuring in this way, it is possible to set the fluctuation time to the same time when the variable display is started in an inconsistent state and in the case where the variable display is started in a consistent state. Compared to a configuration in which the time from the start of the variable display of information (small symbols) to the stop of the variable display through high-speed fluctuation is different between "when matching" and "when not matching". , the processing load can be reduced.

In this embodiment, both the first decoration game and the second decoration game are displayed, but only one of the first decoration game and the second decoration game may be displayed. Specifically, for example, a mode in which the first decoration game and the second decoration game are displayed, a mode in which the first decoration game is displayed and the second decoration game is not displayed, and a mode in which the second decoration game is displayed and the first decoration game is displayed are displayed. There may be a mode in which decoration games are not displayed.

<Holding change effect>
The production control device 300 displays the decoration special figure start memory display displayed in the standby memory display unit 83 in a specific display mode different from the normal display mode, so that the special figure corresponding to the decoration special figure start memory display is displayed. It is possible to perform a pending change effect that suggests a result of a figure change display game or a predictive result such as a change pattern.
In the present embodiment, as the specific display mode of the display mode of the decoration special figure starting memory display, at least, the first specific display mode and the second specific display mode with a higher degree of expectation (expected value) than the first specific display mode
A specific display mode is provided.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the decoration special figure starting memory display of the normal display mode is set to white reservation (white decoration special figure starting memory display), but the normal display mode is not limited to white and can be changed as appropriate. Also, the decoration special figure starting memory display of the first specific display mode is set to blue reservation (blue decoration special figure starting memory display), but the first specific display mode is not limited to blue and can be changed as appropriate. In addition, the decoration special figure start memory display of the second specific display mode is set to red reservation (red decoration special figure start memory display),
The second specific display mode is not limited to red and can be changed as appropriate.
In addition, the specific display mode (first specific display mode, second specific display mode) is not limited to those different in color from the normal display mode, and may be different from the normal display mode in other than color (for example, shape and size). can be

FIG. 29 shows an example of the pending change effect.
In FIG. 29(a), during the variation time of the special figure 1 variation display game, the first start memory number is 3
and the second starting memory number is 0.
When a game ball wins into the start winning port 36 during execution of the special figure 1 variable display game and the first start memory (first special figure reservation) is generated, as shown in FIG. , a new decoration special figure start memory display appears and the number of decoration special figure start memory display of the standby memory display unit 83 changes, and the numerical value of the first start memory number display unit 85a changes.
Here, as a new decorative special figure starting memory display (decoration special figure starting memory display corresponding to the first starting memory generated in FIG. 29 (a)), blue pending is displayed. That is, when the starting memory occurs (during the special figure fluctuation display game being executed when the starting memory occurs), the pending change effect for the starting memory is executed (started). In the example shown in FIG. 29 (and FIG. 34, which will be described later), blue is represented by diagonal hatching.

Then, when the variable time of the special figure 1 variable display game ends and the stop display time starts, FIG.
As shown in 9(c), in the display device 41, the variable display ends and the game result is displayed on the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82, and the in-execution memory display section is displayed. 84 decoration special figure start memory display disappears.
Here, the game result is "lost", the number of first starting memories is 4, and the second
Since the number of starting memories is 0, when the stop display time ends, the special figure variation display game and the decorative special figure variation display game are completed, and the next special figure variation display game, the special figure 1 variation display game. time begins. After that, when the second predetermined time elapses from the start of the fluctuation time, FIG.
As shown in (d), the transition effect (effect to display to move the decoration special figure start memory display at the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 to the running memory display unit 84) is executed, and the first The numerical value of the starting memory number display section 85a changes.

When a plurality of decorative special figure start memory displays are displayed in the standby memory display unit 83, the transition effect causes the decoration special figure start memory display at the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 to be displayed in the running memory display unit Along with the display that shifts to 84, the display that the decorative special figure start memory display other than the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 shifts to the left in the standby memory display unit 83 is performed. therefore,
When the second predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variable time of the special figure 1 variable display game, as shown in FIG. The memory display during standby) is displayed from the fourth position (rightmost position) to the third position (two
position).

After that, as shown in FIG. 29(e), a suggestive effect suggesting the execution of the pending change effect is performed, and as shown in FIG. Here, as a suggestive effect, a effect of displaying a character image that acts on the decoration special figure start memory display is performed, and blue reservation is changed to red reservation by the action of this character image. That is, during the special figure variation display game after the special figure variation display game being executed at the time of occurrence of the start memory, the pending change effect for the start memory is executed (developed). In the example shown in FIG. 29 (and FIG. 34 to be described later), red is represented by polka dot hatching.

When the start memory occurs, the look-ahead variation system command and the look-ahead symbol system command about the start memory are transmitted from the game control device 100 to the effect control device 300 . That is, the effect control device 300 performs the look-ahead symbol system command processing (step C24 in FIG. 18) at the time of starting winning.
4) and prefetch variation command processing (step C246 in FIG. 18) are executed. Then, in the look-ahead variation command processing of these processes, a holding change effect lottery process for performing a lottery related to the execution of the holding change effect and a first holding change effect setting process for making settings related to the execution of the holding change effect are executed. be.

Also, when the starting memory is digested (the special figure variation display game is started), the variation system command and the symbol system command for the starting memory are transmitted from the game control device 100 to the effect control device 3
00. That is, the effect control device 300, at the start of the special figure fluctuation display game,
Symbol system command processing (step C240 in FIG. 18) and variation system command processing (step C236 in FIG. 18) are executed. Then, in the variable command process among these processes, the second pending change effect setting process for setting the execution of the pending change effect is executed.
FIG. 30 shows an example of a holding change effect lottery process, and FIG. 31 shows an example of a distribution table referred to in the holding change effect lottery process. Also, FIG. 32 shows an example of the first pending change effect setting process, and FIG. 33 shows an example of the second pending change effect setting process.

[Pending change effect lottery process]
As shown in FIG. 30, in the hold change effect lottery process, first, a first lottery for determining whether or not to execute the hold change effect is performed by referring to the first allocation table (for example, FIG. 31(a)). (Step D11).
For example, in the example shown in FIG. 29, the holding number (first starting memory number) is 4 due to the occurrence of the first starting memory in FIG. 29(a). Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 31(a), if the result of the special figure variation display game based on the first starting memory generated in FIG. When the execution of the pending change effect targeting the first starting memory is determined in FIG. 29 (a) and the result of the special figure fluctuation display game based on the first starting memory generated in FIG. In the first lottery, execution of the pending change performance for the first starting memory is determined with a probability of 5%.

Then, when the execution of the pending change effect is not determined in the first lottery (step D12; N
), the pending change effect lottery process is terminated.
On the other hand, when execution of the pending change effect is determined in the first lottery (step D12; Y),
A second lottery for selecting the pattern of the pending change effect is performed with reference to the second distribution table (for example, FIG. 31(b)) (step D13). The pattern of the pending change production includes the first pattern that displays the decorative special figure start memory display in both blue and red, and the decorative special figure start memory display in either blue or red without displaying , and a second pattern displayed on the other.

Specifically, the first pattern is a pattern in which the decorative special figure starting memory display is displayed in one specific display mode and then displayed in another specific display mode, that is, a pattern in which the specific display mode is switched on the way.
A 2nd pattern is a pattern which does not display in the other specific display mode after displaying a decoration special figure starting memory display in the specific display mode of 1, ie, a pattern in which a specific display mode does not switch on the way.
In addition, in this embodiment, only the promotion of the display mode of the decoration special figure starting memory display is permitted, and the demotion of the display mode of the decoration special figure starting memory display is prohibited. The promotion of the display mode of the decorative special figure starting memory display means that the normal display mode changes to the specific display mode, and the second specific display mode with higher expectations than the first specific display mode from the first specific display mode. is to change to In addition, the demotion of the display mode of the decorative special figure starting memory display means that the specific display mode changes to the normal display mode, and the second specific display mode has a lower expectation than the second specific display mode. It is to change the display mode. Therefore, in the case of the first pattern, the color is changed from blue to red, but not from red to blue.

For example, in the example shown in FIG. 29, the holding number (first starting memory number) is 4 due to the occurrence of the first starting memory in FIG. 29(a). Therefore, as shown in, for example, FIG.
Only the first pattern is selected and the second pattern is not selected.
In the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 31(b), the larger the number of holdings immediately after the occurrence of the starting memory (the number of starting memories including the starting memory), the more the holding change effect for the starting memory. The ratio of selecting the first pattern as the pattern is increased.

The pending change performance of the second pattern does not develop in the middle (the specific display mode does not switch in the middle), whereas the pending change performance of the first pattern develops in the middle (the specific display mode switches in the middle). That is, by executing the pending change effect of the second pattern, only one specific display mode can be shown to the player, whereas by executing the pending change effect of the first pattern, a plurality of specific display modes can be presented to the player. I can show you how it looks.
The larger the pending number immediately after the start memory occurs, the longer the time during which the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the start memory is displayed in the standby memory display unit 83. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the larger the number of holds, the higher the ratio of selection of the first pattern in which the specific display mode is switched in the middle, so as to provide the player with a never-boring hold change performance.

In addition, since the number of reservations (the number of first start memories, the number of second start memories) is provided with an upper limit, the player can make a stop shot to stop the shooting of the game ball before the number of reservations reaches the upper limit. There is When the stop shot is performed, the operating rate of the game machine is lowered. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, by varying the distribution ratio of the pattern of the hold change effect according to the number of holds, the shooting of the game ball is promoted. That is, by varying the distribution ratio of the pattern of the pending change effect according to the number of reservations, the player shoots the game ball to know the distribution of the pattern of the pending change effect when the number of reservations is the upper limit. Since it comes to do it, it becomes possible to suppress a stopping strike.

Further, in this embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG.
When the starting memory number) becomes 1, or when the holding number (second starting memory number) becomes 1 due to the occurrence of the second starting memory, a holding change effect for the starting memory Neither the first pattern nor the second pattern is selected as the pattern of . That is, when the number of suspensions immediately after the occurrence of the starting memory is 1, even if the execution of the suspension change effect targeting the starting memory is determined in the first lottery, the suspension targeting the starting memory No change effect is executed.

When the pending number immediately after the start memory occurs is 1, the time during which the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the start memory is displayed in the standby memory display unit 83 is short.
Specifically, when the number of reservations immediately after the start memory occurs is 1, and when the start memory is generated while waiting for customers, the decoration special figure corresponding to the start memory The starting memory display appears at the first position (leftmost position) of the waiting memory display section 83 when the customer waiting state ends and the variable time of the special figure variation display game based on the starting memory starts, and the When the second predetermined time elapses from the start of the variable time, the standby storage display section 83 shifts from the first position to the execution storage display section 84 .
That is, when the number of reservations immediately after the start memory is generated is 1, and when the start memory is generated when the customer is waiting, the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the start memory is displayed. The time displayed in the standby storage display section 83 is "second predetermined time".

In addition, in this embodiment, during execution of the special figure 1 variable display game, the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory is displayed, but the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory Display is not displayed. Also, during execution of the special figure 2 variable display game, the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory is displayed, but the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory is not displayed. Therefore, if the number of pending immediately after the occurrence of the starting memory is 1, and the type of the starting memory and the type of the special figure fluctuation display game being executed do not match (that is,
If the starting memory is the first starting memory and the time when the starting memory is generated is during the special figure 2 fluctuation display game, or the starting memory is the second starting memory and the time when the starting memory is generated is special 1 during the variable display game), the time during which the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the start memory is displayed in the standby memory display section 83 is the "second predetermined time".

Also, if the number of pending immediately after the occurrence of the starting memory is 1, and if the type of the starting memory and the type of the special figure fluctuation display game being executed match (that is, the starting memory is the second 1 starting memory and the time when the starting memory occurs is during the special figure 1 fluctuation display game, or when the starting memory is the second starting memory and the time when the starting memory occurs is the special figure 2 fluctuation display game If it is in), the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the start memory is displayed in the first position of the standby memory display unit 83 during the special figure fluctuation display game being executed when the start memory is generated. (leftmost position). Then, when the variation time of the next special figure variation display game (the special figure variation display game based on the start memory) starts and the second predetermined time elapses from the start of the variation time, the standby memory display unit 83 From the first position, the execution memory display portion 84 is entered.
That is, when the number of pending immediately after the occurrence of the starting memory is 1, and the type of the starting memory and the type of the special figure fluctuation display game being executed match, corresponding to the starting memory The time during which the decorative special figure start memory display is displayed in the standby memory display unit 83 is "the time from the occurrence of the start memory to the end of the stop display time of the special figure fluctuation display game that was being executed at the time of occurrence" + "second predetermined time".

Thus, if the number of pending immediately after the occurrence of the starting memory is 1, the time during which the decoration special figure starting memory display corresponding to the starting memory is displayed in the standby memory display unit 83 is short, so the starting Even if the pending change performance for memory is executed, there is a risk that the player will not notice and the pending change performance will be wasted. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the number of pending immediately after the occurrence of the starting memory is 1, the second lottery is set so that neither the first pattern nor the second pattern is selected, and the starting memory The pending change effect for is not executed.

Therefore, when neither the first pattern nor the second pattern is selected in the second lottery (step D16; N), that is, when the number of reservations is one, the reservation change effect lottery process is terminated.
Also, when the first pattern is selected in the second lottery (step D14; Y), with reference to the third distribution table (for example, FIG. 31 (c)), the display mode of the decorative special figure starting memory display the first
Timing to make the specific display mode (blue) (timing to start the pending change effect) and timing to make the display mode of the decorative special figure start memory display the second specific display mode (red) (timing to develop the pending change effect) ) is determined (step D15). and,
The pending change information (determined timing and specific display mode (color) at that time) regarding the starting memory generated this time is saved in the corresponding pending change information storage area (step D18).

Also, when the second pattern is selected in the second lottery (step D16; Y), with reference to the fourth distribution table (for example, FIG. 31 (d)), the display mode of the decorative special figure starting memory display A fourth lottery is executed to determine the timing (the timing at which the pending change effect starts) to make the specific display mode (blue or red) (step D17). Then, the pending change information (determined timing and specific display mode (color) at that time) regarding the starting memory that occurred this time is saved in the corresponding pending change information storage area (step D18).

Next, it is determined whether or not pending change information to which an in-execution flag is added is stored in the pending change information storage area where the pending change information was saved in step D18 (step D19).
.
If pending change information with an in-execution flag is stored (step D19;
In Y), the pending change effect lottery process is terminated.
On the other hand, if the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added is not stored (step D19; N), the in-execution flag is added to the pending change information saved in step D18 (step D20), The change effect lottery process is terminated.

For example, in the example shown in FIG. 29, since the starting memory generated in FIG. 29(a) is the first starting memory, as shown in FIG. It is saved in the pending change information storage area for storage (step D18). On the other hand, if the starting memory generated this time is the second starting memory, the pending change information about the starting memory is saved in the pending change information storage area for the second starting memory.
Further, in the example shown in FIG. 29, the holding number (first start memory number) is four because the first start memory is generated in FIG. 29(a). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 29(g), the pending change information about the starting memory is saved in the pending change information storage area for the first starting memory in the reserved number 4 area (step D18). On the other hand, if the pending number becomes 3 due to the occurrence of the starting memory, the pending change information about the starting memory is saved in the pending number 3 area of the pending change information storage area. When the pending number is 2, the pending change information for the starting memory is saved in the pending change information storage area for the pending number 2.

In the example shown in FIG. 29, since the starting memory generated in FIG. It is determined whether information is stored (step D19). In the pending change information storage area for the first start memory shown in FIG. 29(g), only the pending change information about the start memory generated in FIG. 29(a) is stored. 29(a), as shown in FIG.
) is added to the pending change information about the starting memory generated in step D
20). On the other hand, if the starting memory that has occurred this time is the second starting memory, it is determined whether or not the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added is stored in the pending change information storage area for the second starting memory. is determined, and if not stored, an in-execution flag is added to the pending change information about the starting memory that has occurred this time.

In the present embodiment, if there is a starting memory to be subjected to a pending change effect in the starting memories stored prior to the starting memory that occurred this time, a pending change effect targeting the starting memory that occurred this time is performed. Execution is prohibited (standby).
Therefore, if the starting memory that occurred this time is the first starting memory and there is no first starting memory that is the target of the pending change effect in the first starting memories stored before the starting memory, or if the first starting memory that is the target of the pending change effect is not generated this time If the starting memory is the second starting memory and there is no second starting memory that is the target of the pending change effect in the second starting memories stored before the starting memory, step D19 is executed. It is determined that the flagged pending change information is not stored,
In step D20, from the state in which the execution of the pending change effect for the starting memory that has occurred this time is prohibited (that is, the state in which the pending change information regarding the starting memory that has occurred this time is not added with the execution flag), A state in which the execution of the pending change performance targeting the generated starting memory is permitted (that is, a state in which the execution flag is added to the pending change information regarding the starting memory generated this time) is established.

Here, the "number of transitions" in FIGS. 31(c) and (d) is the number of times the decoration special figure starting memory display has transitioned.
Specifically, for example, "0 blue shift times" is to display the decoration special figure start memory display in blue at the position when the decoration special figure start memory display first appeared. In this embodiment, the position when the decoration special figure start memory display first appears is the fourth position (rightmost position) of the standby memory display unit 83 when the number of reservations is 4, and the number of reservations is 3 In the case of 1, it is the 3rd position (second position from the right) of the standby storage display section 83, and in the case of 2, it is the 2nd position (second position from the left) of the standby storage display section 83. is.
Also, for example, "red shift number of times 1 time" is to display the decoration special figure start memory display in red at the position when the decoration special figure start memory display has moved once. In this embodiment, the position when the decoration special figure start memory display has moved once is the third position (second position from the right) of the standby memory display unit 83 when the number of reservations is 4, and the reservation When the number is 3, it is the second position (the second position from the left) of the standby storage display section 83, and when the suspension number is 2, it is the first position (the leftmost position) of the standby storage display section 83. is.

In the third lottery, for example, if the first pattern ""Blue transition number 0 times", "Red transition number 1 time"" is selected, during the special figure fluctuation display game that is being executed when the start memory occurs , blue suspension is displayed as a decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the start memory, and during the next special figure variation display game of the special figure variation display game that was being executed when the start memory occurred, this blue suspension Then, when the special figure variation display game based on the start memory is started, the red reservation is transferred to the memory display section 84 during execution.

Also, in the third lottery, for example, if the first pattern ""Blue transition number 1 time", "Red transition number 2 times"" is selected, the special figure fluctuation display that is being executed when the start memory occurs During the game, white suspension is displayed as a decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the start memory, and during the special figure variation display game next to the special figure variation display game that was being executed when the start memory occurred, this While changing white suspension to blue suspension, during the next special figure variation display game after the special figure variation display game being executed at the time of occurrence of the start memory, suspension change production to change this blue suspension to red suspension Then, at the start of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory, this red reservation is transferred to the memory display section 84 during execution.

In the fourth lottery, for example, if the second pattern ""Red transition number 0 times"" is selected, during the special figure fluctuation display game being executed when the starting memory occurs, corresponding to the starting memory A holding change effect that displays red holding as a decorative special figure starting memory display is executed.And at the start of the special figure fluctuation display game based on the starting memory, this red holding is running memory display section 84
to
Also, in the fourth lottery, for example, if the second pattern "" Blue transition times 2 times "" is selected, during the special figure fluctuation display game being executed when the starting memory occurs, in the starting memory White suspension is displayed as the corresponding decorative special figure start memory display, and during the next special figure variation display game after the special figure variation display game that was being executed when the start memory occurred, this white suspension is changed to blue suspension. Then, when the special figure variation display game based on the start memory is started, this blue reservation is transferred to the memory display section 84 during execution.

In addition, in the present embodiment, during the special figure fluctuation display game being executed when the starting memory occurs, when displaying the blue reservation (or red reservation) as the decorative special figure starting memory display corresponding to the starting memory , is displayed in blue pending (or red pending) from the beginning, but is not limited to this. For example, at first it is displayed in white suspension, and this white suspension is changed to blue suspension (or red suspension) by the end of the stop display time of the special figure fluctuation display game being executed when the start memory occurs can be

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 31(a), when the number of reservations is one,
Although it is designed to win the lottery, it is not limited to this. For example, when the number of pending is 1, the probability of winning the first lottery (probability of determining the execution of the pending change effect) may be set to 0%. Also by setting in this way, when the number of suspensions immediately after the start memory is generated is 1, it is possible not to execute the suspension change performance for the start memory. Further, when configured in this way, when the number of reservations is 1, the first lottery is always lost (that is, the second lottery is always omitted), so the processing load can be reduced.

Alternatively, in the hold change effect lottery process, the number of holds is 1 at the beginning (before step D11)
It is also possible to determine whether or not there are 1, and if the number of reservations is 1, the suspension change effect process may be terminated without performing steps D11 to D20. Also by configuring in this way, when the number of suspensions immediately after the start memory is generated is one, it is possible not to execute the suspension change performance for the start memory. Further, when configured in this manner, steps D11 to D20 are always omitted when the number of reservations is 1,
Processing burden can be reduced.

Further, in the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 31(b), when the number of reservations is 2 to 4, the higher the number of reservations, the higher the ratio of selection of the first pattern. , but not limited to. For example, when the number of reservations is 2 to 4, the ratio of selecting the first pattern may be the same regardless of the number of reservations, and the higher the number of reservations, the lower the ratio of selecting the first pattern. You can
Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 31B, for example, when the number of reservations is 2, the first pattern is not selected, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the number of reservations is two, not only the second pattern but also the first pattern may be selectable.
Further, in the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 31(b), when the number of reservations is 4, the second pattern is not selected, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the number of reservations is four, not only the first pattern but also the second pattern may be selectable.

In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 31 (c), the timing (the timing at which the pending change effect starts) to set the display mode of the decorative special figure start memory display to the first specific display mode (blue), Timing (
The timing at which the pending change effect develops) is faster, the higher the expectation of a big hit,
It is not limited to this. For example, the later these timings are, the higher the expectation of a big win may be. Alternatively, the later the timing at which the pending change performance starts, the higher the expectation for the big win, and the earlier the timing at which the pending change performance develops, the higher the expectation for the big win, that is, the later the timing at which the pending change performance starts. Moreover, the shorter the interval from the start of the pending change effect to the development, the higher the expectation of the big win.
Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 31 (d), the earlier the timing (the timing at which the pending change production starts) to make the display mode of the decorative special figure start memory display the specific display mode (blue or red) , The expectation of a big hit is high, but it is not limited to this. For example, the later the timing at which the pending change effect starts, the higher the expectation of the big win.

In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 31 (a), the execution of the pending change effect based on the number of pending immediately after the occurrence of the starting memory and the result of the special figure fluctuation display game based on the starting memory Although the presence/absence is sorted, it is not limited to this. For example, the presence or absence of execution of the holding change effect may be distributed based only on the number of reservations immediately after the start memory occurs, or the number of reservations immediately after the start memory occurs and the special figure fluctuation display game based on the start memory and the variation pattern of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory (eg presence or absence of reach, type of reach, variation time, etc.).

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 31(b), the pattern of the pending change effect is distributed based on the number of pending immediately after the start memory occurs, but the present invention is not limited to this. for example,
The pattern of the pending change effect may be distributed based on the pending number immediately after the starting memory is generated and the result of the special figure fluctuation display game based on the starting memory, or the pending number immediately after the starting memory is generated, The result of the special figure variation display game based on the starting memory and the variation pattern of the special figure variation display game based on the starting memory (for example, presence or absence of reach, type of reach, variation time, etc.) Pattern of pending change production based on may be distributed. The same applies to the distribution table shown in FIG. 36(a), which will be described later.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 31(c) and (d), the number of reservations immediately after the occurrence of the starting memory and the result of the special figure fluctuation display game based on the starting memory are used as the pending change. Although the execution timing of the production is distributed, it is not limited to this. For example, the execution timing of the pending change effect may be distributed based only on the number of holds immediately after the start memory occurs, or the number of holds immediately after the start memory occurs and the special figure fluctuation display game based on the start memory the result and
Based on the fluctuation pattern of the special figure fluctuation display game based on the start memory (for example, the presence or absence of reach, the type of reach, fluctuation time, etc.), the execution timing of the pending change effect may be distributed. The same applies to distribution tables shown in FIGS. 35(a) and 35(b) and distribution tables shown in FIG. 36(b), which will be described later.

[First hold change effect setting process]
In the first pending change effect setting process, during the special figure fluctuation display game being executed when the starting memory occurs, a pending change effect for the starting memory is started (decorative special figure start corresponding to the starting memory) (displaying blue pending or red pending as a memory display). This first pending change effect setting process is a process that is executed in the look-ahead variation command process that is performed at the time of starting winning, and is performed after the hold change effect lottery process (FIG. 30) that is similarly performed in the look-ahead variation command process. executed.

As shown in FIG. 32, in the first pending change effect setting process, first, it is determined whether the pending change information has been saved in the immediately preceding pending change effect lottery process (FIG. 30) (step D31).
If the pending change information is not saved (step D31; N), the first pending change effect setting process is terminated.
On the other hand, if the pending change information is saved (step D31; Y), that is, if the pending change effect targeted for the starting memory that has occurred this time is executed, is an execution flag added to the pending change information? is determined (step D32).

If the in-execution flag is not added (step D32; N), i.e., if the execution of the pending change effect targeted at the starting memory that occurred this time is prohibited, the first pending change effect setting process is executed. finish.
On the other hand, if the in-execution flag is added (step D32; Y), i.e., if the execution of the pending change effect for the starting memory that has occurred this time is permitted, the pending change information " Determine whether "Blue: 0 transitions" or "Red: 0 transitions" is included (
Step D33).

If neither "blue: 0 times of transition" nor "red: 0 times of transition" is included (step D33; N), the first pending change effect setting process is terminated.
On the other hand, when "blue shift number of times 0 times" or "red shift number of times 0" is included (step D3
At 3; Y), it is the timing to start the pending change effect targeting the starting memory that has occurred this time, so it is determined whether the pending change information is the pending change information for the first starting memory (step D34). ).

If the hold change information is for the first start memory (step D34; Y), that is, the hold change information storage area where the hold change information was saved in the immediately preceding hold change effect lottery process (FIG. 30) is for the first start memory. If it is the pending change information storage area, it is determined whether the special figure 1 variation display game is being executed (step D35), and if the special figure 1 variation display game is not being executed (step D35; N) , ends the first pending change effect setting process.
Also, if it is not the hold change information for the first start memory (step D34; N), that is, the hold change information storage area where the hold change information was saved in the immediately preceding hold change effect lottery process (FIG. 30) is used for the second start memory. If it is the pending change information storage area, it is determined whether the special figure 2 fluctuation display game is being executed (step D36), and if the special figure 2 fluctuation display game is not being executed (step D36; N) ends the first pending change effect setting process.

In this embodiment, during execution of the special figure 1 variable display game, the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory is displayed, but the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory is Do not show. Also, when the special figure 2 variable display game is being executed, the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory is displayed, but the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory is not displayed. . Therefore, if the starting memory generated this time is the first starting memory and the special figure variation display game being executed at the time of occurrence of the starting memory is the special figure 2 variation display game (step D35
; N), or when the starting memory generated this time is the second starting memory and the special figure variation display game being executed when the starting memory is generated is the special figure 1 variation display game (step D36;
N), since the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the start memory is not displayed during the special figure fluctuation display game being executed when the start memory occurs, the decoration special figure start corresponding to the start memory Processing for displaying blue pending or red pending as memory display (steps D37, D38)
, the first pending change effect setting process is terminated.

On the other hand, if the starting memory generated this time is the first starting memory and the special figure variation display game being executed at the time of occurrence of the starting memory is the special figure 1 variation display game (step D35; Y), or this time occurrence If the starting memory is the second starting memory and the special figure variation display game being executed when the starting memory is generated is the special figure 2 variation display game (step D36; Y), a running flag is added. A specific display mode included in the pending change information (here, pending change information about the starting memory that occurred this time) is acquired (step D37). Step D37
Then, when there are a plurality of specific display modes included in the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added, the specific display mode corresponding to "transition count 0" is acquired. Specifically, step D
In 37, when the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added includes "blue shift number of times 0", the first specific display mode (blue) is acquired and "red shift number of times 0" is acquired. is included, the second specific display mode (red) is acquired.
Next, the decorative special figure start memory display (here, the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the start memory that occurred this time) corresponding to the pending change information to which the running flag is added is displayed in step D3
In order to display in the specific display mode acquired in step D7, the display setting of the pending change effect is performed (step D37), and the first pending change effect setting process is terminated.

For example, in the example shown in FIG. 29, as shown in FIG. 29(g), the saved pending change information is added with an in-execution flag (step D32; Y), and the saved pending change information has "
0 times of transition to blue" is included (step D33; Y). Then, the saved pending change information is the pending change information about the first start memory (step D34; Y), and the special figure 1 variation display game is being executed (step D35; Y), so "transition count 0 times (step D37), and the display setting of the pending change effect is performed (step D38). As a result, for example, as shown in FIG.
During the special figure variation display game being executed in 9(a), blue suspension is displayed as a decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory generated in FIG. 29(a).

[Second hold change effect setting process]
The second pending change effect setting process starts or develops a pending change effect for the starting memory during the special figure variation display game after the special figure variation display game that was being executed when the starting memory occurred. It is a process for (displaying blue reservation or red reservation as a decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the start memory). This second pending change effect setting process is executed in the variation command process performed at the start of the special figure variation display game (immediately before the start).

As shown in FIG. 33, in the second pending change effect setting process, first, the hold reduction corresponding to the special figure type (information indicating whether the special figure variation display game type to be executed this time is special figure 1 or special figure 2) is set (step D41). Specifically, in step D41, when the special figure variation display game is started, setting is made to decrease the decoration special figure starting memory display with the decrease of the corresponding starting memory. As a result, when the second predetermined time has passed since the start of the fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation display game to be executed this time, the transition effect (the decoration special figure start memory display at the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 is displayed during execution of the memory display unit 84, and display to shift the decoration special figure start memory display other than the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 to the left) is executed.

Next, it is determined whether the hold change information corresponding to the special figure type is stored (step D
42). Specifically, in step D42, if the special figure variation display game to be executed this time is the special figure 1 variation display game, whether the suspension variation information is stored in the suspension variation information storage area for the first start storage. If the special figure variation display game to be executed this time is the special figure 2 variation display game, it is determined whether or not the suspension variation information is stored in the storage area for storage of suspension variation information for the second start storage. .

When the pending change information corresponding to the special figure type is not stored (step D42; N), the second pending change effect setting process is terminated.
On the other hand, if the hold change information corresponding to the special figure type is stored (step D42; Y)
Then, it is determined whether or not the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the special figure classification is being displayed (step D43). Specifically, in step D43, the special figure variation display game to be executed this time is the special figure 1
In the case of the variable display game, it is determined whether or not the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory is displayed in the standby memory display section 83, and the special figure variation display game to be executed this time is the special figure. In the case of the 2-variation display game, it is determined whether or not the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory is displayed in the standby memory display section 83 or not.

When the result of the special figure variation display game executed last time is a win, a special game state occurs before the special figure variation display game executed this time. In this embodiment, since the decorative special figure start memory display is not displayed during the special game state, if the result of the special figure variation display game executed last time is a win, immediately before the start of the special figure variation display game to be executed this time The decoration special figure start memory display is not displayed. Therefore, in this case, in step D43, it is determined that the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the special figure classification is not being displayed.

Also, even if the result of the special figure fluctuation display game executed last time is a loss, if the type of the special figure fluctuation display game executed last time is different from the type of the special figure fluctuation display game executed this time,
The decorative special figure start memory display displayed just before the start of the special figure fluctuation display game to be executed this time is
It is a decorative special figure start memory display that does not correspond to the special figure type. That is, in the present embodiment, when the special figure variation display game executed last time is the special figure 1 variation display game (result is lost) and the special figure variation display game executed this time is the special figure 2 variation display game , The decoration special figure start memory display displayed just before the start of the special figure fluctuation display game to be executed this time is the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory, and the decoration special figure start corresponding to the special figure type It is not a memory display (that is, a decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory). Also, if the special figure fluctuation display game executed last time is a special figure 2 fluctuation display game (result is lost), and the special figure fluctuation display game to be executed this time is a special figure 1 fluctuation display game, the special figure to be executed this time The decoration special figure start memory display displayed immediately before the start of the figure fluctuation display game is the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory, and the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the special figure type (that is, the second It is not a decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to 1 start memory). Therefore, also in these cases, in step D43, it is determined that the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the special figure classification is not being displayed.

If the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the special figure type is being displayed (step D43; Y)
to step D47.
On the other hand, if the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the special figure type is not being displayed (step D43
;N), among the pending change information corresponding to the special figure type, the number of transitions included in the pending change information to which the running flag is added is 1 or more (holding change to which the running flag is added If there are multiple numbers of transitions included in the information, it is determined whether all of them are one or more (step D44).

If the number of transitions is one or more (step D44; Y), the process proceeds to step D47.
On the other hand, if the number of transitions is less than 1 (step D44; N), since the timing of executing (starting or developing) the pending change effect has already ended, the pending change information corresponding to the special figure type Among them, the specific display mode included in the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added is acquired (step D45).

In step D45, when there are a plurality of specific display modes included in the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added, one of them is the specific display mode corresponding to the number of transitions of one or more times and the other is one. If it is a specific display mode corresponding to the number of transitions less than 1, the other (1
Acquire the specific display mode corresponding to the number of transitions less than the number of times). That is, when the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added is "'number of transitions to blue - 1 time' and 'number of transitions to red - 1 time'", the first specific display mode (blue) is acquired.
Further, when there are a plurality of specific display modes included in the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added, and when both of them are specific display modes corresponding to the number of transitions less than one, 0 Acquire a specific display mode corresponding to the number of transitions closer to the number of times. That is, the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added is ““Blue: number of times of transition - 2 times”, “Red: number of times of transition of 0 times”.
”, the second specific display mode (red) is obtained.

Next, in order to display the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the pending change information to which the running flag is added in the specific display mode acquired in step D45, the pending change effect before the decrease of the hold (before the transition effect) is set (step D46), and the process proceeds to step D47. If the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the special figure type is not being displayed (step D43;
In N), when the fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation display game to be executed this time starts, the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the special figure type appears in the standby storage display unit 83, and then the fluctuation time starts. When a second predetermined time elapses from then, a transition performance is performed, but by the processing of step D46, a decoration special figure start memory display can be made to appear in a state in which the pending change performance is executed before the transition performance.
In addition, in this embodiment, before the transition effect, it is assumed to be displayed in blue pending (or red pending) from the beginning, but it is not limited to this. For example, it may be displayed as white pending at first, and this white pending may be changed to blue pending (or red pending) by the time the transition effect is started.

Next, the pending change information corresponding to the special figure type is shifted (step D47), and it is determined whether the pending change information corresponding to the special figure type is stored (step D48).
If the hold change information corresponding to the special figure type is not stored (step D48; N), that is, if the hold change information corresponding to the special figure type is erased by the shift in step D47, the second hold change effect End the setting process.
On the other hand, if the hold change information corresponding to the special figure type is stored (step D48; Y)
In, the number of transitions included in the pending change information corresponding to the special figure type is updated by -1 (step D
49), it is determined whether or not there is pending change information to which an in-execution flag is added in the pending change information corresponding to the special figure type (step D50).

If there is pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added (step D50; Y),
Of the pending change information corresponding to the special figure type, it is determined whether the pending change information to which the running flag is added includes "blue transition number 0 times" or "red transition number 0 times" (step D
51).
If neither "blue shift number 0" nor "red shift number 0" is included (step D51; N), the second pending change effect setting process is terminated.
On the other hand, if "blue shift number of times 0" or "red shift number of times 0" is included (step D5
1; Y) is the timing of executing (starting or developing) the pending change effect, so it is included in the pending change information to which the running flag is added, out of the pending change information corresponding to the special figure type. A specific display mode is obtained (step D52). In step D52, if there are a plurality of specific display modes included in the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added, "transition count 0
Acquire the specific display mode corresponding to "times".
Next, in order to display the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the pending change information to which the running flag is added in the specific display mode acquired in step D52, the pending change effect after the decrease of the hold (after the transition effect) is set (step D53), and the second pending change effect setting process is terminated.

Also, if there is no pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added (step D50; N)
That is, when the pending change information to which the running flag is added by the shift in step D47 is deleted, the pending change information corresponding to the special figure type (when there are multiple pending change information corresponding to the special figure type adds a running flag to the earliest pending change information among them (
Step D54). And, of the pending change information corresponding to the special figure type, the number of transitions included in the pending change information to which the running flag is added is 1 or more (included in the pending change information to which the running flag is added If there are a plurality of transition times, it is determined whether all of them are one or more (step D55).

When the number of transitions is one or more (step D55; Y), the second pending change effect setting process is terminated.
On the other hand, if the number of transitions is less than 1 (step D55; N), it is the timing to execute (start or develop) the pending change effect, or the timing has already ended, so the special figure Of the pending change information corresponding to the type, the specific display mode included in the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added is acquired (step D56). In step D56, when there are a plurality of specific display modes included in the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added, one of them is the specific display mode corresponding to the number of transitions of one or more times and the other is one. If it is the specific display mode corresponding to the number of transitions less than 1, the other (the specific display mode corresponding to the number of transitions less than 1) is acquired. Further, when there are a plurality of specific display modes included in the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added, and when both of them are specific display modes corresponding to the number of transitions less than one, 0 Acquire a specific display mode corresponding to the number of transitions closer to the number of times.

Next, in order to display the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the pending change information to which the running flag is added in the specific display mode acquired in step D56, the pending change effect after the decrease of the hold (after the transition effect) is set (step D53), and the second pending change effect setting process is terminated.
Note that in the present embodiment, after the transition effect, the blue pending (or red pending) is displayed from the beginning, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be displayed with white suspension at first, and this white suspension may be changed to blue suspension (or red suspension) by the end of the stop display time of the special figure variation display game to be executed this time.

For example, in the example shown in FIG. 29, as shown in FIG. At the start, it is determined that the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the special figure type (here special figure 1) is being displayed (step D43; Y). Then, as shown in FIG. 29(h), the information in the area for the number of reservations 4 is shifted to the area for the number of reservations 3 (step D47), and the number of transitions is updated by -1 as shown in FIG. 29(i). (Step D49). As shown in FIG. 29(i), the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added includes "0 times of transition to red" (step D51;
Y) Therefore, a specific display mode (here, red) corresponding to "0 times of transition" is acquired (step D52), and the display setting of the hold change effect after the hold is decreased (after the transition effect) is set (step D53). As a result, for example, as shown in FIG. 29(f), during the special figure variation display game after the special figure variation display game executed in FIG. The decoration special figure starting memory display corresponding to the first starting memory generated in (a) changes from blue reservation to red reservation.

FIG. 34 shows another example of the pending change effect.
In FIG. 34(a), during the variation time of the special figure 1 variation display game, the first start memory number is 3
, and the second starting memory number is 0.
When the game ball wins the normal variable winning device 37 during execution of the special figure 1 variable display game and the second start memory (second special figure reservation) is generated, the display device 41 is displayed as shown in FIG. , the numerical value of the second starting memory number display portion 85b changes. Here, it is assumed that three second starting memories are generated.

Since the number of pending immediately after the occurrence of the first second starting memory is 1, in the pending change effect lottery process executed when the first second starting memory occurs, whether the first lottery is lost ( Step D1
2; N), or even if the first lottery is won, neither the first pattern nor the second pattern is selected in the second lottery (step D16; N). Therefore, as shown in FIG.
Since the pending change information is not stored in the storage area, it is determined that the pending change information was not saved in the first pending change effect setting process executed when the first second start memory is generated (step D31; N ).

In the example shown in FIG. 34, it is assumed that the first lottery is won in the holding change effect lottery process executed when the second second start memory is generated (step D12; Y). That is, it is assumed that the pending change information for the second second start memory is saved (step D18). second second
When the start memory is generated, the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added is not stored in the pending change information storage area for the second start memory (step D19; N).
), an in-execution flag is added to the pending change information in the pending number 2 area (the pending change information for the second second start memory) (step D20). Therefore, the second
In the first pending change effect setting process executed when the start memory is generated, it is determined that the pending change information has been saved (step D31; Y), and it is determined that the in-execution flag is added (
Step D32; Y). In the example shown in FIG. 34, as shown in FIG. 34(h), the saved pending change information (holding change information about the second second start memory) includes "red transition count 0" ( Step D33; Y). However, the saved pending change information is the pending change information for the second start memory (step D34; N), and the special figure 1 variation display game is being executed (step D36; N), so the second When the second start memory is generated, the processing (step D38) for executing the pending change effect targeting the start memory is not performed.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 34, it is assumed that the first lottery is won in the holding change effect lottery process executed when the third second start memory is generated (step D12; Y). That is, it is assumed that the pending change information for the third second start memory is saved (step D18). When the third second start memory is generated, the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added is stored in the pending change information storage area for the second start memory (step D19; Y), Figure 34
As shown in (h), the in-execution flag is not added to the pending change information in the pending number 3 area (the pending change information about the third second start memory). Therefore, in the first pending change effect setting process executed when the third second start memory is generated, it is determined that the in-execution flag is not added (step D32; N). When the starting memory is generated, the processing (step D38) for executing the pending change effect for the starting memory is not performed.

Then, when the variable time of the special figure 1 variable display game ends and the stop display time starts, FIG.
As shown in 4(c), in the display device 41, the variable display ends and the game result is displayed on the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 82, and the in-execution memory display section is displayed. 84 decoration special figure start memory display disappears.
Here, the game result is "lost", the number of first starting memories is 3, and the second
The number of starting memories is 3, and in this embodiment, the special figure 2 variation display game is executed with priority over the special figure 1 variation display game, so when the stop display time of the special figure 1 variation display game ends, the next The variation time of the special figure 2 variation display game (special figure variation display game based on the first second start memory), which is a special figure variation display game, starts. When the variable time of the special figure 2 variation display game starts, the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory is displayed on the standby memory display unit 83 on the display device 41, as shown in FIG. After that, when the second predetermined time elapses from the start of the variable time, as shown in FIG.
The numerical value of the starting memory number display section 85b changes.

That is, in the example shown in FIG. 34, in the second pending change effect setting process executed at the start of the special figure fluctuation display game based on the first second start memory, if there is pending change information corresponding to the special figure type It is determined (step D42; Y), and it is determined that the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the special figure classification is not being displayed (step D43; N). As shown in FIG. 34(h), the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added includes "red transition count 0" (step D44; N), so it corresponds to "transition count 0". A specific display mode (here, red) is obtained (step D45), and the display setting of the hold change effect before the hold decrease (before the transition effect) is performed (step D46). As a result, for example, as shown in FIG.
During the special figure variation display game after the special figure variation display game being executed in (a), before the transition effect, in the second start memory of the second that occurred in FIG. Red pending is displayed as the corresponding decorative special figure start memory display.

Next, as shown in FIG. 34(i), the information in the area for the number of reservations 2 is shifted to the area for the number of reservations 1, and the information in the area for the number of reservations 3 is shifted to the area for the number of reservations 2 (step D4
7), the number of transitions is updated by -1 (step D49). As shown in FIG. 34(i), the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added includes "0 times of transition to blue" and "0 times of transition to red".
is not included (step D51; N), the display setting (step D53) of the hold change effect after the hold decrease (after the transition effect) is not performed.

Then, when the variable time of the special figure 2 variable display game ends and the stop display time starts, FIG.
As shown in 4(f), in the display device 41, the variable display ends and the game result is displayed on the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82, and the in-execution memory display section is displayed. 84 decoration special figure start memory display disappears.
Here, the game result is "lost", the number of first starting memories is 3, and the second
The number of starting memories is 2, and in this embodiment, the special figure 2 variation display game is executed with priority over the special figure 1 variation display game, so when the stop display time of the special figure 2 variation display game ends, the next The variation time of the special figure 2 variation display game (special figure variation display game based on the second second start memory), which is a special figure variation display game, starts. After that, when the second predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variable time, as shown in FIG. 34(g), the transition effect is executed and the numerical value of the second starting memory number display section 85b changes.

In the example shown in FIG. 34, in the second pending change effect setting process executed at the start of the special figure fluctuation display game based on the second second start memory, it is determined that there is pending change information corresponding to the special figure type. Then (step D42; Y), it is determined that the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the special figure type is being displayed (step D43; Y). That is, the decoration special figure start memory display (
Since the decorative special figure start memory display that is displayed before the start of the variable time) continues to be displayed even after the start of the variable time, the pending change effect is displayed from the start of the variable time to the start of the transition effect. No processing (step D46) is performed to execute (start or develop).

Then, as shown in FIG. 34 (j), the information in the area for the number of reservations 1 is shifted (erased), and the information in the area for the number of reservations 2 is shifted to the area for the number of reservations 1 (step D47), The number of transitions is updated by -1 (step D49). Here, since the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added is deleted by shifting (step D50; N), as shown in FIG. A running flag is added to the pending change information about the second starting memory (step D54).

Then, as shown in FIG. 34(k), the number of transitions included in the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added is not one or more (step D55; N), and the number of transitions is less than one. Therefore, the specific display mode corresponding to the number of transitions closest to "number of transitions 0" (here, red corresponding to "number of transitions - 1") is acquired (step D56), and after the hold is decreased (transition After the effect), display setting of the pending change effect is performed (step D53). As a result, for example, as shown in FIG. 34(g), during the special figure variation display game after the special figure variation display game executed in FIG. The decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the third second start memory generated in (a) changes from white reservation to red reservation.

Thus, in the present embodiment, one of the first starting memories (starting memory B) that is stored prior to one first starting memory (starting memory B) is the other first starting memory (starting memory) that is the target of the pending change effect. A), if there is, the execution of the pending change effect for the first starting memory (starting memory B) is prohibited (
standby), and by digesting the other first starting memory (starting memory A), the execution of the pending change effect for the one first starting memory (starting memory B) is lifted. . Further, when there is another second starting memory (starting memory A) to be subjected to the pending change effect in the second starting memory stored before one second starting memory (starting memory B) , the execution of the pending change effect targeting the one second starting memory (starting memory B) is prohibited (standby), and by digesting the other second starting memory (starting memory A), the one second starting memory (starting memory A) The ban on the execution of the pending change effect for the starting memory (starting memory B) is lifted.

In the present embodiment, regardless of whether or not there is a starting memory A to be subjected to the pending change effect among the starting memories stored before the starting memory B, that is, when the starting memory B is generated. Regardless of whether or not the pending change information to which the in-execution flag is added is already stored, at the time when the starting memory B is generated, the holding change effect lottery process targeting the starting memory B (
30), but is not limited to this.
For example, if there is no starting memory A that is the target of the pending change effect among the starting memories stored before the starting memory B, the pending change targeted for the starting memory B is generated at the time when the starting memory B is generated. While the performance lottery process is executed, when there is a starting memory A to be subjected to a holding change performance in the starting memories stored before the starting memory B, the starting memory B is generated at the time when the starting memory B is generated. Without executing the holding change effect lottery process for the starting memory B at the time of digestion of the starting memory A (for example, at the start of the special figure fluctuation display game based on the starting memory A), the holding change effect lottery targeting the starting memory B You may make it perform a process.
Alternatively, regardless of whether or not there is a starting memory A to be subjected to the pending change effect among the starting memories stored before the starting memory B, the starting memory B is targeted at the time when the starting memory B is generated. The holding change performance lottery process is executed, and only when the starting memories stored prior to the starting memory B include the starting memory A to be subjected to the holding change performance, when the starting memory A is consumed, it is performed again. Alternatively, the holding change effect lottery process targeting the starting memory B may be executed, and the result of the re-executed holding change effect lottery process may be adopted.

In addition, the effect control device 300 displays the decoration special figure start memory display displayed in the standby memory display unit 83 in a specific display mode, thereby special figure fluctuation display game corresponding to the decoration special figure start memory display. In addition to the pending change effect (hereinafter referred to as "waiting pending change effect") that suggests the result of the look-ahead result such as the fluctuation pattern, the decorative special figure start memory display displayed in the running memory display unit 84 is specified. By displaying in the display mode, a pending change effect (hereinafter "execution It may be possible to execute a medium hold change effect.

Specifically, for example, by performing the third lottery with reference to the third distribution table shown in FIG. As the timing (timing at which the pending change effect develops), not only the time point displayed in the waiting memory display section 83 but also the time point displayed in the running memory display section 84 can be selected.
Also, for example, by performing the fourth lottery with reference to the fourth distribution table shown in FIG. 35 (b), the timing (
As the timing at which the pending change effect starts, not only the time point displayed in the waiting memory display section 83 but also the time point displayed in the running memory display section 84 can be selected.

In addition, when the first pattern is selected, it is possible to execute both the pending change effect during standby and the pending change effect during execution (that is, for example, referring to the third distribution table shown in FIG. 35(a), the 3 lottery), and even when the second pattern is selected, both the standby pending change effect and the running pending change effect can be executed (that is, for example, the fourth distribution shown in FIG. 35 (b) refer to the table and perform the fourth lottery).
Alternatively, when the first pattern is selected, only the standby pending change effect can be executed (
That is, for example, refer to the third distribution table shown in FIG.
, and when the second pattern is selected, both the waiting pending change effect and the running pending change effect can be executed (that is, for example, referring to the fourth distribution table shown in FIG. 35(b), the 4
lottery).

Alternatively, when the first pattern is selected, both the waiting pending change effect and the running pending change effect can be executed (that is, for example, referring to the third distribution table shown in FIG. 35(a), the 3 lottery), and when the second pattern is selected, only the standby pending change effect can be executed (that is, for example, referring to the fourth distribution table shown in FIG. 31(d), the fourth
lottery).
Also, when the second pattern is selected, only the pending change effect during execution may be executable.

Also, in this embodiment, when the number of pending immediately after the occurrence of the starting memory is 1, the time during which the decorative special figure starting memory display corresponding to the starting memory is displayed in the standby memory display unit 83 Since it is short, it is configured not to execute the standby pending change effect for the starting memory,
The execution suspension change effect targeted at the starting memory may be executable.
Specifically, for example, by performing the second lottery with reference to the second distribution table shown in FIG. A pending change effect can be executed for the starting memory. Then, when the number of reservations is 1, it is possible to execute the pending change effect during execution (that is, to perform the second lottery with reference to the second distribution table shown in FIG. 36 (a), for example) 35(a), for example, to perform the third lottery, and, for example, to refer to the fourth allocation table, for example, FIG. 36(b), to perform the fourth lottery.

In the fourth distribution table shown in FIG. 36(b), when the number of reservations is 1,
times” is selected, and “transition count 0 times” is not selected. As a result, when the number of suspensions immediately after the start memory is generated is 1, the standby suspension change performance for the starting memory is not executed, but the running suspension change performance for the starting memory is performed. becomes viable.
In the second distribution table shown in FIG. 36(a), the first pattern is not selected when the number of reservations is two, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the second distribution table shown in FIG. 36(a), when the number of reservations is two, not only the second pattern but also the first pattern may be selectable.

Here, when the number of holdings is 4 (when the number of holdings immediately after the occurrence of start memory is 4), the position corresponding to "transition count 0" is the fourth position of the standby memory display section 83 ( the rightmost position), and the position corresponding to "transition count 1 time" is the third position (second position from the right) of the standby storage display section 83, and the position corresponding to "transition count 2 times". is the second position (the second position from the left) of the standby storage display section 83, and the position corresponding to "3 times of transition" is the first position (leftmost position) of the standby storage display section 83. , and the position corresponding to "number of times of transition is 4" is the in-execution memory display section 84. FIG.

In addition, when the number of holds is 3 (the number of holds immediately after the start memory occurs is 3), the position corresponding to "the number of transitions is 0" is the third position (right side) of the standby memory display section 83 is the second position from ), and the position corresponding to "1 time of transition" is the second position of the standby storage display section 83 (
2nd position from the left), and the position corresponding to "number of times of transition 2" is the standby storage display section 83
is the first position (the leftmost position) of , and the position corresponding to "the number of times of transition is 3" is the memory-in-execution display section 84 .

In addition, when the number of holds is 2 (when the number of holds immediately after the start memory occurs is 2), the position corresponding to "the number of transitions is 0" is the second position (left ), and the position corresponding to "transition once" is the first position of the standby storage display section 83 (
The leftmost position), and the position corresponding to "transition number of times 2" is the memory-in-execution display section 84 .
In addition, when the number of holds is 1 (the number of holds immediately after the occurrence of the start memory is 1), the position corresponding to "the number of transitions is 0" is the first position (most The position on the left side), and the position corresponding to "1 time of transition" is the storage-in-execution display section 84. FIG.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when the number of suspensions immediately after the start memory is generated is 1, the standby suspension change effect for the start memory is not executed, but it is not limited to this. . For example, even if the number of suspensions immediately after the generation of the starting memory is one, if a predetermined condition is satisfied, it is possible to execute the waiting pending change effect for the starting memory.
As described above, when the number of reservations immediately after the occurrence of the starting memory is 1, and when the time when the starting memory occurs is waiting for a customer, the decoration special figure corresponding to the starting memory The time during which the start memory display is displayed in the standby memory display section 83 is the "second predetermined time".
Also, if the number of pending immediately after the occurrence of the starting memory is 1, and the type of the starting memory and the type of the special figure fluctuation display game being executed do not match (that is, the starting memory is the second 1 starting memory and when the starting memory occurs is during the special figure 2 fluctuation display game,
Alternatively, when the starting memory is the second starting memory and the time when the starting memory occurs is during the special figure 1 variable display game), the decorative special figure starting memory display corresponding to the starting memory is stored in standby memory The time displayed on the display unit 83 is the "second predetermined time".

On the other hand, if the number of pending immediately after the occurrence of the starting memory is 1, and if the type of the starting memory and the type of the special figure fluctuation display game being executed match (that is, the starting memory is the second 1 starting memory and the time when the starting memory occurs is during the special figure 1 fluctuation display game, or when the starting memory is the second starting memory and the time when the starting memory occurs is the special figure 2 fluctuation display game If it is in), the time during which the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the start memory is displayed in the standby memory display unit 83 is "from the time when the start memory occurred, the special figure that was being executed at the time of occurrence time until the stop display time of the variable display game ends"+"second predetermined time".

That is, if the type of the starting memory and the type of the special figure fluctuation display game being executed match, the time point when the starting memory occurred is waiting for a customer, or the type of the starting memory and the type of the running memory Compared to the case where the type of the special figure fluctuation display game does not match, the time during which the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the start memory is displayed in the standby memory display section 83 is long.
Therefore, even if the number of pending immediately after the occurrence of the starting memory is 1, if the condition is that the type of the starting memory matches the type of the special figure fluctuation display game being executed, It is also possible to make it possible to execute a standby pending change effect targeting the start memory.

In FIG. 29 (e), when the suggestive effect that suggests the execution of the pending change effect (specifically, the effect of displaying the character image acting on the decoration special figure start memory display) changes from blue pending to red pending However, the timing of executing the suggestive effect is not limited to this. That is, the suggestion performance may be executed when changing from white reservation to blue reservation, and the suggestion performance may be executed when changing from white reservation to red reservation.
In addition, even if the suggestive effect is executed, the display mode of the decorative special figure starting memory display may not change, and even if the suggestive effect is not executed, the display mode of the decorative special figure starting memory display changes. It's okay if you do.

Also, a suggestive effect lottery for determining whether or not to execute a suggestive effect may be performed. This suggestive effect lottery may be executed in the first pending change effect setting process performed at the time of starting winning, or executed in the second pending change effect setting process performed at the start of the special figure fluctuation display game (immediately before the start). You can Further, in the suggestive effect lottery, not only whether or not to execute the suggestive effect, but also the execution timing of the suggestive effect may be determined when the execution of the suggestive effect is determined.
Of course, the suggestive effect is not limited to the effect of displaying a character image acting on the decoration special figure starting memory display. The suggestive effect is, for example, a character image that suggests execution of a pending change effect (for example, "
change! ? It may be a production that displays a character image such as ", or it is a production that suggests that the display mode of the decoration special figure start memory display changes by blinking the decoration special figure start memory display. Also good.

Also, when the decoration special figure start memory display is displayed at a predetermined position, the display mode of the decoration special figure start memory display may always change to a display mode different from the normal display mode.
Specifically, for example, when the decoration special figure start memory display is displayed at the first position of the standby memory display unit 83, the decoration special figure start memory display may always blink. In this case, at the first position of the standby memory display unit 83, the holding change effect (hereinafter referred to as "holding flashing effect") that displays the decorative special figure start memory display in a blinking display mode different from the normal display mode is always executed. Therefore, it is possible to notify that the special figure fluctuation display game corresponding to the decoration special figure start memory display will start soon by this pending flashing effect.

From the above, the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is a gaming machine that executes a game (special figure variation display game) based on the establishment of the starting condition, and gives the player a game value according to the result of the game. There is a start memory means (game control device 100) capable of storing up to a predetermined upper limit number of start memories that become the right to execute the game based on the establishment of the start condition, and a notice effect (standby mode) regarding the game before the game is executed. Notice effect executing means (effect control device 300) for executing pending change effect)
And, in the advance notice effect, after executing in one effect mode, the first effect is executed in another effect mode
a pattern, and a second pattern that is not executed in another production mode after being executed in one production mode;
and the notice effect execution means selects a pattern of notice effect relating to the game based on the start memory in response to the start memory being stored in the start memory means, and selects the start memory stored in the start memory means. When the number is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (for example, 3), the ratio of selecting the first pattern is higher than when the number of starting memories stored in the starting memory means is less than the predetermined number. (See FIG. 31(b)).

Therefore, when the starting memory number is equal to or larger than the predetermined number, the probability of executing the notice effect in the first pattern in which the effect mode is switched in the middle increases, so that the player can be provided with the notice effect without getting bored. It is possible to improve the interest of the game.
In addition, since the selection ratio of the pattern of the notice effect differs according to the start memory number, it is possible to suppress the stop shot of the game ball.

Note that the predetermined number is not limited to three, and can be changed as appropriate.
Further, in the present embodiment, the number of transitions corresponding to the first specific display mode (blue) and the number of transitions corresponding to the second specific display mode (red) in the first pattern are different. The number of times may be the same. Specifically, in the third lottery, it may be possible to select, for example, "'Blue transition number of times', 'Red transition number of times'". During the variation display game, white suspension is displayed as a decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the start memory, and during the special figure variation display game following the special figure variation display game that was being executed when the start memory occurred. , a suspension change performance is executed to change this white suspension to red suspension via blue suspension.

Further, in the present embodiment, the first pattern is a pattern in which the production mode (specific display mode) is switched once, that is, a pattern in which the pattern changes from blue hold to red hold, but the number of times the production mode (specific display mode) is switched is It may be multiple times. Specifically, for example, the first pattern is green suspension (green decoration special figure start memory display) with higher expectations than blue suspension from blue suspension
, and then change from green reservation to red reservation with a higher expectation than the green reservation.

Further, in the present embodiment, the first specific display mode is blue and the second specific display mode is red.
It is not limited to this. For example, if the first specific display mode is the mode with the lowest degree of expectation (for example, blinking)
It is good as Also, the second specific display mode may be the mode with the highest degree of expectation (for example, rainbow color).
For example, in the present embodiment, if there is a specific display mode other than the first specific display mode and the second specific display mode, even if it is displayed in the second specific display mode (red), it will further develop (for example, from red change to rainbow colors). On the other hand, by setting the second specific display mode to the mode with the highest degree of expectation (for example, rainbow color), even if there is a specific display mode other than the first specific display mode and the second specific display mode, When displayed in the second specific display mode (rainbow color), there is no possibility of further development. That is, the second specific display mode is the mode with the highest degree of expectation (for example, rainbow color)
In this case, the second pattern includes a pattern A displayed in a first specific display mode (a mode with a lower degree of expectation than rainbow color, such as red) and a pattern B displayed in a second specific display mode (rainbow color) and will be included. In the case of pattern A, it is unclear whether there will be further development at the time of displaying in the specific display mode (red) (it is unclear whether the second pattern was selected or the first pattern was selected). , in the case of pattern B, it becomes clear that there is no further development (clear that the second pattern has been selected) when the specific display mode (rainbow color) is displayed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the demotion of the display mode of the decoration special figure starting memory display is prohibited, but the demotion may be allowed. For example, when the demotion is allowed, if there is a specific display mode other than the first specific display mode and the second specific display mode, even if it is displayed in the first specific display mode (blue), it is further demoted ( for example, changing from blue to blinking). In contrast,
By setting the first specific display mode to the mode with the lowest degree of expectation (for example, blinking), even if there is a specific display mode other than the first specific display mode and the second specific display mode, the first specific display mode (
flashing) indicates that there is no possibility of further demotion. That is, when the first specific display mode is the mode with the lowest degree of expectation (for example, blinking), the second pattern includes a pattern C displayed in the first specific display mode (blinking) and a second specific display mode (blinking Pattern D, which is displayed in a mode with a higher degree of expectation, such as blue, is included. In the case of pattern D, it is unknown whether there is a further demotion at the time of display in the specific display mode (blue), whereas in the case of pattern C, further demotion is performed at the time of display in the specific display mode (blinking). It is clear that there will be no relegation.

Further, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the notice effect executing means (effect control device 300) is stored in the start memory means when the start memory is stored in the start memory means (game control device 100). When the number of starting memories present is a specific number (for example, 0) which is less than a predetermined number, it can be configured not to execute the notice effect (waiting pending change effect) related to the game based on the starting memory. (See FIG. 31(b)).

By configuring in this way, it becomes possible to perform the advance notice effect efficiently. In other words, when the number of starting memories is less than or equal to a specific number, compared to when the number of starting memories exceeds the specific number, the period before the start of the notice target game (before execution) is shorter, so the notice effect (holding while waiting) is shorter. It is not possible to secure a sufficient execution time for the change production). Therefore, when the number of starting memories is less than a specific number, the player does not notice even if the notice effect (waiting pending change effect) is executed, and the notice effect (waiting pending change effect) is wasted. Since there is a fear, in such a case, by configuring so as not to execute the notice effect (waiting pending change effect), it is possible to efficiently perform the notice effect.
Note that the specific number is not limited to 0, and can be changed as appropriate.

In addition, the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment includes a second notice effect execution means (production control device 300) for executing a notice effect (a pending change effect during execution) related to the game during execution of the game, and a second notice effect The executing means, when the starting memory is stored in the starting memory means (game control device 100), even if the number of starting memories stored in the starting memory means is a specific number (for example, 0) or less, It is possible to configure so that a notice effect (execution pending change effect) relating to the game based on the starting memory can be executed (see FIG. 36).

By configuring in this way, it is possible to perform an effective advance notice effect. That is, even if the number of starting memories is less than or equal to a specific number, for example, if the execution time (fluctuation time) of the game to be notified is longer than a predetermined time (for example, a second predetermined time), the notice effect (execution pending change effect )
Since a sufficient execution time can be ensured, it is possible to perform an effective advance notice effect.

Note that the notice effect executed by the notice effect executing means, that is, the notice effect (read-ahead notice effect) relating to the game executed before the game is executed is not limited to the standby pending change effect and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the notice effect executed by the notice effect executing means includes a zone notice effect (there are a strong zone and a weak zone) in which the background and other effects are specific effects, and the result mode of the decorative special figure fluctuation display game is specified. A chance game announcement performance (there is a blue chance game and a red chance game) or the like may be used as a result of .

Here, in the notice effect, even during the special figure fluctuation display game being executed when the start memory of the notice target occurs, the special figure fluctuation display game executed when the start memory of the notice target occurs. Notice effect that can be executed even during the figure fluctuation display game (holding change effect, etc.), and start of the notice target that is not executable during the special figure fluctuation display game that is being executed when the start memory of the notice target occurs During the special figure variation display game after the special figure variation display game executed at the time of memory generation, there is an executable notice effect (zone notice effect, chance eye notice effect, etc.). If the notice effect to be executed is a notice effect that can be executed during the special figure fluctuation display game being executed when the starting memory of the notice target occurs, the timing of executing (starting or developing) the notice effect is " 0 times of transition" can be selected. On the other hand, if the notice effect to be executed is a notice effect that cannot be executed during the special figure fluctuation display game being executed when the start memory of the notice target occurs,
"Transition number 0" is not selected as the timing for executing (starting or developing) the announcement effect.

Further, the notice effect executed by the second notice effect executing means, that is, the notice effect related to the game executed during execution of the game is not limited to the pending change effect during execution and can be appropriately changed. For example, the notice effect executed by the second notice effect executing means may be a zone notice effect or a chance notice effect.
Further, in the present embodiment, the notice effect executed by the notice effect execution means and the notice effect executed by the second notice effect execution means are similar in that the decoration special figure starting memory display is displayed in a specific display mode. That is, in the present embodiment, the notice effect executed by the notice effect executing means and the second
The advance notice effect executed by the advance notice effect execution means is a similar effect to each other, but is not limited thereto, and the advance notice effect executed by the advance notice effect execution means and the advance notice effect executed by the second advance notice effect execution means are different. , may be mutually dissimilar presentations.
