A mode for carrying out the gaming machine according to the present invention will be described below based on an embodiment.

[Basic description]
First, the basic configuration and control of the pachinko game machine 1 (also the configuration and control of a general pachinko game machine) will be described.

[Configuration, etc. of pachinko machine 1]
FIG. 1 is a front view of the pachinko game machine 1, showing the arrangement layout of the main members. A pachinko game machine (game machine) 1 is roughly composed of a game board (gauge board) 2 forming a game board surface and a game machine frame (underframe) 3 supporting and fixing the game board 2 . A game area is formed in the game board 2, and a game ball as a game medium is shot from a predetermined ball shooting device and hit into the game area.

The "variable display" of the special symbols means, for example, that a plurality of types of special symbols are variably displayed (the same applies to other symbols described later). Variations include updating display of a plurality of patterns, scrolling display of a plurality of patterns, deformation of one or more patterns, enlargement/reduction of one or more patterns, and the like. In the variation of special symbols and normal symbols, which will be described later, a plurality of types of special symbols or normal symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of decorative patterns, which will be described later, a plurality of types of decorative patterns are scrolled or updated, and one or more decorative patterns are deformed or enlarged/reduced. Incidentally, the variation includes a mode of blinking a certain symbol. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped and displayed (also referred to as derivation or derivation display) as a display result (the same applies to variable display of other symbols to be described later). Variable display may be expressed as variable display or variation.

The special symbols variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A are also called "first special symbols", and the special symbols variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B are also called "second special symbols". Also, a special game using the first special game is called a "first special game", and a special game using the second special game is called a "second special game". Incidentally, the number of special symbol display devices that variably display the special symbols may be one.

An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2 . The image display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display) or an organic EL (Electro Luminescence), and displays various effects images. The image display device 5 may be composed of a projector and a screen. Various effect images are displayed on the image display device 5 .

For example, on the screen of the image display device 5, in synchronism with the first special game and the second special game, a plurality of types of decorative patterns (such as patterns showing numbers) as decoration identification information different from the special patterns. variable display is performed. Here, in synchronism with the first special game or the second special game, decorative symbols are variably displayed (for example, vertically direction scroll display and update display). In addition, the variable display of the special game and the decoration pattern that are executed in synchronization is also generically called simply variable display.

A display area may be provided on the screen of the image display device 5 for displaying pending display corresponding to the variable display whose execution is pending and active display corresponding to the variable display being executed. Suspended display and active display are also collectively referred to as variable display corresponding display corresponding to variable display.

The number of variable representations that are reserved is also referred to as the number of reserved memories. The reserved memory number corresponding to the first special game is also referred to as the first reserved memory number, and the reserved memory number corresponding to the second special game is also referred to as the second reserved memory number. The sum of the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number is also referred to as the total reserved memory number.

At predetermined positions on the game board 2, a first suspension indicator 25A and a second suspension indicator 25B each including a plurality of LEDs are provided. The first pending display 25A displays the first pending memory number by the number of lit LEDs.

Winning ball device 6A, for example, forms a first starting winning opening that is kept in a constant open state in which game balls can enter, for example, by a predetermined ball receiving member. When a game ball enters the first start winning hole, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls are paid out, and the first special game can be started.

The variable winning ball device 6B (ordinary electric accessory) forms a second starting winning hole that changes between a closed state and an open state by a solenoid 81 (see FIG. 3). The variable winning ball device 6B includes, for example, an electric tulip-shaped accessory having a pair of movable pieces, and when the solenoid 81 is in an OFF state, the movable pieces are in a vertical position, so that the tip of the movable piece moves to the winning ball. It is close to the device 6A and becomes a closed state in which the game ball does not enter the second start winning opening (also referred to as the second starting winning opening being closed). On the other hand, the variable winning ball device 6B is in an open state in which the game ball can enter the second start winning opening (the second start winning opening) by moving the movable piece to the tilted position when the solenoid 81 is in the ON state. It is said that the mouth is open.) When the game ball enters the second start winning hole, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls are paid out, and the second special game can be started. Incidentally, the variable winning ball device 6B is not limited to one provided with an electric tulip-shaped accessory as long as it changes between a closed state and an open state.

Predetermined positions of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, three positions on the lower left side of the game area and one position above the variable winning ball device 6B) are always kept in a constant open state by predetermined ball receiving members. A general winning opening 10 is provided. In this case, when the player enters one of the general winning openings 10, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

A special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning opening is provided between the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning ball device 7 has a large winning opening door that is driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 3). Form.

As an example, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning door (for the special electric accessory) is in the OFF state, the big winning door closes the big winning door, and the game ball is pushed out. You will not be able to enter (pass through) the prize gate. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning gate door is in the ON state, the big winning gate door opens the big winning gate, making it easier for the game ball to enter the big winning gate. Become.

When game balls enter the big winning hole, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. When the game balls enter the big winning hole, more prize balls are paid out than when the game balls enter the first starting winning hole, the second starting winning hole and the general winning hole 10, for example.

Entering a game ball into each winning hole including the general winning hole 10 is also called "winning". In particular, winning a prize in a starting opening (first starting winning opening, second starting winning opening) is also referred to as starting winning.

A normal symbol display 20 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the left lower part of the game area). As an example, the normal symbol display device 20 is composed of a 7-segment LED or the like, and performs variable display of normal symbols as a plurality of types of normal identification information different from special symbols. The normal symbols are represented by numbers indicating "0" to "9", lighting patterns such as "-", and the like. The normal pattern may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off. Such a variable display of normal patterns is also called a normal pattern game.

A passage gate 41 through which game balls can pass is provided on the right side of the image display device 5 . Based on the game ball passing through the passage gate 41, the normal game is executed.

Below the normal pattern display 20, a normal pattern holding display 25C is provided. The general pattern suspension display 25C includes, for example, four LEDs, and displays the normal pattern suspension storage number, which is the number of general pattern games whose execution is suspended, by the number of lit LEDs.

[Overview of game progress]
A game ball is shot toward a game area by a player's rotating operation of a ball-hitting operation handle 30 provided in the pachinko game machine 1 . When the game ball passes through the passage gate 41, the normal pattern display device 20 starts the normal pattern game. In addition, when the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 during the period during the execution of the previous normal game (when the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 but the normal game based on the passage cannot be immediately executed) , the normal game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

In this general pattern game, if a specific normal pattern (normal pattern winning pattern) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the normal pattern becomes "normal pattern winning". On the other hand, if a normal pattern (normal pattern lost pattern) other than the normal pattern winning pattern is stop-displayed as the fixed normal pattern, the display result of the normal pattern becomes "normal pattern lost". When it comes to "normal game", the variable winning ball device 6B is opened for a predetermined period of time and the opening control is performed (the second start winning opening is opened).

When a game ball enters the first starting winning hole formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started.

When the game ball enters the second starting winning hole formed in the variable winning ball device 6B, the second special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started.

In addition, when the game ball enters (wins) the start winning opening during the period during execution of the special game or the period when it is controlled to the jackpot game state described later (starting winning occurs, but it is based on the starting winning If the special game cannot be executed immediately), the execution of the special game based on the entry is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

In the special symbol game, when a specific special symbol (a big hit symbol, for example, "7", the actual symbol varies depending on the type of the big hit to be described later) is stopped and displayed as a fixed special symbol, it becomes a "big hit" and a big winning symbol. If a special symbol (losing symbol, for example, "-") is stopped and displayed, it becomes "missing". Incidentally, the "loss" in the pachinko game machine 1 includes a "time-saving loss" that is controlled from the next variable display to a high base state (time-saving state) without going through the big win game.

After the display result in the special game becomes "big win", the game is controlled to a big win game state as an advantageous state for the player.

In the jackpot game state, the jackpot formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined manner. The open state is the timing of the elapse of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls entering the big winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). It will continue until whichever comes first. The predetermined period is an upper limit period during which the big winning slot can be opened in one round, and is hereinafter also referred to as an upper limit opening period. One cycle in which the big winning opening is opened in this way is called a round (round game). In the jackpot game state, the round can be repeatedly executed until it reaches a predetermined upper limit number of times (15 times or 2 times).

In the jackpot game state, the player can get a prize ball by entering the game ball into the big winning hole. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The larger the number of rounds in the jackpot game state and the longer the upper limit period of opening, the more advantageous the player is.

In addition, a jackpot type is set in the "jackpot". For example, multiple types of opening modes (number of rounds and upper limit period of opening) of the big winning opening and game states after the jackpot game state (normal state, time saving state, variable probability state, etc.) are prepared, and the jackpot type is set according to these It is As the jackpot types, there may be provided jackpot types in which many prize balls can be obtained, jackpot types with few prize balls, or jackpot types in which few prize balls can be obtained.

After the jackpot game state is finished, depending on the jackpot type, it may be controlled to a time-saving state or a variable probability state.

In the time saving state, the control (time saving control) that shortens the average special figure fluctuation time (period of varying the special figure) than the normal state is executed. In the time-saving state, by shortening the average normal figure fluctuation time (the period during which the normal figure is changed) than in the normal state, and by improving the probability of becoming a "normal figure hit" in the general figure game than in the normal state, etc. Control (high opening control, high base control) that makes it easier for game balls to enter the second start winning opening is also executed. Since the time-saving state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbols (especially the second special symbols) is improved, it is an advantageous state for the player.

In the variable probability state (probability variable state), in addition to the time-saving control, the variable probability control in which the probability that the display result is a "jackpot" is higher than in the normal state is executed. The variable probability state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbols is improved, and in addition, a "big hit" is likely to occur, so it is a further advantageous state for the player.

The time saving state and the variable probability state are continued until one of the end conditions such as execution of the special game for a predetermined number of times and start of the next big win game state is established first. The end condition that the special figure game of a predetermined number of times has been executed is also referred to as a number cut (number cut time reduction, number cut probability variable, etc.).

The normal state means a game state other than a special state such as an advantageous state such as a jackpot game state that is advantageous to the player, a time saving state, a variable probability state, etc., and the display result in the normal game is "normal game". The pachinko gaming machine 1, such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special game will be a "jackpot", returns to the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, a predetermined return after power-on, such as when the system is reset) It is the state controlled in the same way as when processing is not executed).

The state in which probability variable control is executed is also called a high probability state, and the state in which probability variable control is not executed is also called a low probability state. A state in which time-saving control is performed is also referred to as a high-based state, and a state in which time-saving control is not performed is also referred to as a low-based state. Combining these, the time-saving state is also called a low probability / high base state, a variable probability state is a high probability / high base state, and a normal state is also called a low probability / low base state. The high probability state and the low base state are also referred to as the high probability low base state.

Incidentally, the game state may change based on the fact that the game ball has passed through a specific area (for example, a specific area within the big winning opening) during the jackpot game state. For example, when the game ball passes through the specific area, it may be controlled to the probability variable state after the big hit game state.

[Progress of production, etc.]
In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects such as notifying the progress of the game and exciting the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The production will be described below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5. In addition to or instead of the display, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R and the game effect lamp 9 are provided. lighting or extinguishing, the movement of the movable body 32, or a performance using any performance device including a part or all of these.

As an effect executed according to the progress of the game, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided on the image display device 5, the first special game or the second In response to the start of the 2 special figure game, the variable display of the decoration pattern is started. At the timing when the display result (also called fixed special pattern) is stopped and displayed in the first special game or the second special game, a fixed decorative pattern (combination of three decorative patterns) which is the display result of variable display of decorative patterns ) is also stopped (derived).

During the period from the start of the variable display of the decorative design to the end of the variable display, the variable display of the decorative design may be in a predetermined ready-to-win state (ready-to-win state is established). Here, the ready-to-win mode means that when the decorative symbols stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitute a part of the jackpot combination described later, the decorative symbols that are not stopped and displayed are displayed in a variable manner. It is the aspect that is continuing.

Further, a ready-to-win effect is executed in response to the above-described ready-to-win mode during the variable display of decorative symbols. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the ratio of the display result (the display result of the special game or the display result of the variable display of the decoration pattern) to the "big win" (also called the "big win reliability" or "big win expectation") depends on the performance mode. A plurality of different types of ready-to-win effects are executed. The ready-to-win performance includes, for example, a normal reach and a super-to-win with higher reliability than the normal reach.

When the display result of the special game is a "big hit", a fixed decorative pattern that is a predetermined big hit combination is derived as a display result of the variable display of decorative patterns on the screen of the image display device 5 (decoration The display result of the variable display of the pattern becomes a "jackpot"). As an example, the same decoration patterns (for example, "7" etc.) are stop-displayed together on predetermined effective lines in the "left", "middle" and "right" decoration pattern display areas 5L, 5C and 5R. .

In the case of a ``variable probability big hit'' controlled to a variable probability state after the end of the big win game state, odd decorative patterns (for example, "7" etc.) are stopped and displayed together, and the variable probability state is entered after the end of the big win game state. In the case of an uncontrolled "non-probable variable jackpot (normal jackpot)", even-numbered decorative symbols (for example, "6") may be stop-displayed together. In this case, odd-numbered decorative patterns are also called probability variable patterns and even-numbered decorative patterns are also called non-probable variable patterns (normal patterns). After becoming a ready-to-win mode with non-probability variation symbols, a promotion performance may be executed to finally become a "probability variation big hit".

When the display result of the special game is "lost", the variable display mode of the decorative pattern does not become the ready-to-win mode, and the fixed decorative pattern of the non-reach combination (" (Also referred to as non-reach lost") may be stopped (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes "non-reach lost"). In addition, when the display result is "lost", after the mode of variable display of decorative patterns becomes the ready-to-win mode, the display result of variable display of decorative patterns is a predetermined ready-to-win combination ("no reach") that is not a big hit combination. ”) is stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes “reach lost”).

The effects that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 include displaying the variable display corresponding display (suspended display and active display). In addition, as other effects, for example, a notice effect for notifying the reliability of the big hit is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbols. The notice effect includes a notice effect for notifying the reliability of the big win in the variable display during execution and a pre-reading notice effect for notifying the reliability of the big win in the variable display before execution (variable display whose execution is suspended). As the pre-reading advance notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the display corresponding to the variable display (suspended display or active display) to a mode different from normal may be executed.

Also, in the image display device 5, the decorative patterns are temporarily stopped during the variable display of the decorative patterns, and then the variable display is restarted, so that one variable display is simulated as a plurality of variable displays. A pseudo-continuous effect may be executed.

During the big winning game state, the performance during the big winning is executed to report the big winning game state. As the effect during the big win, the effect of notifying the number of rounds or the promotion effect indicating that the value of the big win game state is improved may be executed.

Further, for example, when a special game or the like is not being executed, a demonstration (demonstration) image is displayed on the image display device 5 (customer waiting demonstration effect is executed).

[Board configuration]
The pachinko game machine 1 is equipped with a main board 11, an effect control board 12, a sound control board 13, a lamp control board 14, a relay board 15, etc., as shown in FIG. In addition, various substrates such as a payout control substrate, an information terminal substrate, and a launch control substrate are arranged on the back surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 . Furthermore, a power supply board 17 is also mounted. Various control boards are not only electronic circuit boards such as printed wiring boards on which conductive patterns are formed and on which electrical components can be mounted, but are also configured to implement specific electrical functions by mounting electrical components on electronic circuit boards. It is a concept that includes an electronic circuit mounting board that has been manufactured.

A power switch 91 is connected to the power supply board 17 , and by operating the power switch 91 (turning it on), power from an alternating current power supply such as AC 100 V in an external power supply such as a commercial power supply is switched to the power supply board 17 .

The main board 11 has a game control microcomputer 100, a switch circuit 110, a solenoid circuit 111, and the like.

The game control microcomputer 100 mounted on the main board 11 is, for example, a one-chip microcomputer, and includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) 101, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 102, and a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 103. , a random number circuit 104 and an I/O (Input/Output port) 105 .

The CPU 103 executes a program stored in the ROM 101 to perform processing for controlling the progress of the game (processing for realizing the functions of the main substrate 11). At this time, various data stored in the ROM 101 (variation patterns described later, effect control commands described later, data such as various tables referred to when making various decisions described later) are used, and the RAM 102 is used as the main memory. . The RAM 102 is a backup RAM that retains stored contents for a predetermined period of time even if the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is stopped in part or in its entirety. All or part of the program stored in the ROM 101 may be developed in the RAM 102 and executed on the RAM 102 .

The random number circuit 104 counts updatably numerical data representing various random numbers (game random numbers) used to control the progress of the game. The game random numbers may be updated (updated by software) by the CPU 103 executing a predetermined computer program.

The I/O 105 includes, for example, an input port to which various signals (detection signals described later) are input, various signals (first special symbol display device 4A, second special symbol display device 4B, normal symbol display device 20, first reservation It includes an output port for transmitting a signal for controlling (driving) the indicator 25A, the second hold indicator 25B, the normal figure hold indicator 25C, and a solenoid drive signal).

The switch circuit 110 receives detection signals from various switches for game ball detection (gate switch 21, starter switch (first starter switch 22A and second starter switch 22B), count switch 23) (when a game ball passes or A detection signal indicating that the switch has been turned on by entering) is captured and transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100. The transmission of the detection signal means that the passage or entry of the game ball has been detected.

The switch circuit 110 takes in a reset signal, a power-off signal, and a clear signal from the power board 17 and transmits them to the game control microcomputer 100 . The reset signal is an operation stop signal for stopping the operation of the control circuit such as the game control microcomputer 100, and can be output using either the power supply monitoring circuit, the IC with built-in watchdog timer, or the system reset IC. Good to have. The power-off signal turns off when a predetermined power supply voltage used in the pachinko game machine 1 exceeds a predetermined value, and turns on when the period in which the predetermined power supply voltage is equal to or less than the predetermined value continues for a power-off reference time or longer.

The effect control command output from the main board 11 is relayed by the relay board 15 and supplied to the effect control board 12. - 特許庁The effect control command includes, for example, various determination results on the main board 11 (for example, the display result of the special game (including the jackpot type), the variation pattern used when executing the special game (details will be described later). )), game status (for example, start and end of variable display, opening status of big winning slots, occurrence of winning, number of reserved memories, game status), commands specifying error occurrence, and the like.

The effect control board 12 is a sub-side control board independent of the main board 11, receives the effect control command, and produces effects based on the received effect control command (various effects according to the progress of the game, (including various notifications such as driving of the movable body 32, error notification, power failure recovery notification, etc.).

The performance control board 12 is equipped with a performance control CPU 120, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control section 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I/O 125.

The effect control CPU 120 executes a program stored in the ROM 121 to execute a process for executing the effect together with the display control unit 123 (a process for realizing the above function of the effect control board 12, and the effect to be executed (including the decision, etc.). At this time, various data (data such as various tables) stored in the ROM 121 are used, and the RAM 122 is used as a main memory.

The effect control CPU 120 displays the execution of the effect based on the detection signal from the controller sensor unit 35A and the push sensor 35B (a signal that is output when an operation by the player is detected and appropriately indicates the operation content). The controller 123 may also be instructed.

[motion]
Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko game machine 1 will be described.

[Major Operations of Main Board 11]
First, main operations in the main board 11 will be described. When power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes game control main processing. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing game control main processing executed by the CPU 103 on the main board 11. As shown in FIG.

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 4, the CPU 103 first sets interrupt prohibition (step S1). Subsequently, necessary initial settings are performed (step S2). Initial settings include stack pointer setting, internal device register setting (CTC (counter/timer circuit), parallel input/output port, etc.), setting to make RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

Next, it is determined whether or not the recovery condition is satisfied (step S3). The recovery condition can be satisfied when the clear signal is in the OFF state, there is backup data, and the backup RAM is normal. When the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, for example, if a clear switch provided on the power supply board 17 is pressed, a clear signal in an ON state is input to the game control microcomputer 100 . If such an on-state clear signal is input, it may be determined in step S3 that the restoration condition is not established. It is sufficient that the backup data can be stored in the RAM 102 serving as a backup RAM for game control. In step S3, the presence or absence of backup data, the presence or absence of data errors, etc. may be confirmed or inspected to determine whether or not recovery conditions can be established.

If the restoration condition is satisfied (step S3; Yes), after executing the restoration process (step S4), the setting confirmation process (step S5) is executed. The work area is set based on the contents stored in the RAM 102 by the recovery process in step S4. By setting the work area using the backup data stored in the RAM 102, the game state when the power supply is stopped can be restored. It is sufficient if it is possible to restart the fluctuation of the design.

If the recovery condition is not satisfied (step S3; No), the initialization process (step S6) is performed, and then the setting change process (step S7) is performed. The initialization processing in step S6 includes clear processing for clearing the flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and initial values are set in the work area by executing the clear processing.

In the setting confirmation process of step S5, it is determined whether or not a predetermined setting confirmation condition is satisfied. The setting confirmation condition is established, for example, when the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is ON and the setting key 51 is ON when the power supply is started. The setting confirmation process of step S5 is executed when the recovery condition including the clear signal being in the OFF state is satisfied in step S3. Therefore, since the setting confirmation condition can be satisfied only when the clear signal is in the OFF state, the fact that the clear signal is in the OFF state can also be included in the setting confirmation condition.

When the setting confirmation condition is satisfied in the setting confirmation process of step S5, the setting confirmation state is entered in which the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 can be confirmed, and the main board 11 sets the performance control board 12. A confirmation start command is sent. In the setting confirmation state, the setting values set in the pachinko game machine 1 can be confirmed by the display on the display monitor 29 . When ending the setting confirmation state, a setting confirmation end command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 .

When the pachinko game machine 1 is in the setting confirmation state, it may be in a game stop state for stopping the progress of the game in the pachinko game machine 1.例文帳に追加When the game is in the stopped state, shooting of game balls by operating the batted ball operation handle, detection of game balls by various switches, etc. are stopped, and the first special symbol display device 4A, the second special symbol display device 4B, and the normal symbols are stopped. The display device 20 may be controlled so as to stop display of the winning symbols or the like, or display corresponding to the game stop state different from the losing symbols. When the setting confirmation state ends, the game stop state associated therewith should also end.

In the setting change process of step S7, it is determined whether or not a predetermined setting change condition is satisfied. The setting change condition is satisfied, for example, when the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is in the ON state and the setting key 51 is turned ON when power supply is started. The setting change condition may include that the clear signal is on.

When the setting change condition is satisfied in the setting change process of step S7, the setting change state is set in which the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 can be changed, and the main board 11 sets to the effect control board 12. A change start command is sent. In the setting change state, the setting values are displayed on the display monitor 29, and each time the operation of the setting changeover switch 52 is detected, the numerical values displayed on the display monitor 29 are sequentially updated and displayed. After that, when the setting key 51 is turned off by an operation by a game hall staff member or the like, the set value displayed on the display monitor 29 is stored (updated) in the backup area of the RAM 102, and the display monitor 29 is updated. turn off the When ending the setting change state, a setting change end command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 .

When the pachinko game machine 1 is in the setting change state, the pachinko game machine 1 may be put in the game stop state as in the setting confirmation state. When the setting change state ends, the game stop state associated therewith should also end.

On the effect control board 12 side, when the setting confirmation start command or the setting change start command is received, control may be performed to notify that the setting is being checked or that the setting is being changed. For example, a predetermined image may be displayed on the image display device 5, a predetermined sound may be output from the speakers 8L and 8R, or a light-emitting member such as the game effect lamp 9 may emit light in a predetermined manner.

The clear signal is turned on by pressing a clear switch provided on the power supply board 17, for example. Therefore, if the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is on and the setting key 51 is on when the power supply is started, and if the clear switch is on, the initialization process of step S6 and the step The setting change process of S7 is executed to enable control to the setting change state, and if the clear switch is off, the setting confirmation process of step S5 is executed together with the recovery process of step S4 to enable control to the setting confirmation state. If the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is off when the power supply is started, or if the setting key 51 is off, and if the clear switch is on, the initialization process of step S6 is executed. On the other hand, it is not controlled to the setting change state, and if the clear switch is off, the recovery processing of step S4 is executed, but it is not controlled to the setting confirmation state.

After executing the setting confirmation process or the setting change process, the CPU 103 executes a random number circuit setting process for initializing the random number circuit 104 (step S8). Then, the register of the CTC built in the game control microcomputer 100 is set so that the timer interrupt is periodically applied every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (step S9), and the interrupt is permitted (step S10 ). After that, loop processing is entered. Thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 at predetermined time intervals (for example, 2 ms), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing.

When the CPU 103 that has executed such game control main processing receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and accepts the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not detection signals have been received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 (step S21). Subsequently, by executing predetermined main-side error processing, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko game machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). After that, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, jackpot information (information indicating the number of occurrences of jackpots, etc.), start information (start Data such as information indicating the number of wins, etc.), probability change information (information indicating the number of times the odd state has occurred, etc.) is output (step S23).

Following the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least part of the game random numbers used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (step S24). After that, the CPU 103 executes a special symbol process (step S25). By the CPU 103 executing the special symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, execution and suspension management of the special symbol game, control of the jackpot game state, control of the game state, and the like are realized.

Following the special symbol process, the normal symbol process is executed (step S26). The CPU 103 executes normal symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, thereby managing the execution and suspension of the normal symbol game based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the game ball passing through the passage gate 41), It is possible to control the opening of the variable winning ball device 6B based on the "normal game hit". The execution of the normal pattern game is performed by driving the normal pattern display device 20, and the normal pattern reservation number is displayed by lighting the normal pattern reservation display device 25C.

After executing the normal symbol process processing, as part of the game control timer interrupt processing, processing when power failure occurs, processing for paying out prize balls, etc. may be performed. After that, the CPU 103 executes command control processing (step S27). The CPU 103 may transmit and set an effect control command in each of the processes described above. In the command control process of step S27, a process of transmitting the effect control command set for transmission to the sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 is performed. After executing the command control process, after permitting the interrupt, the game control timer interrupt process is terminated.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 5 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a starting winning determination process (step S101).

In the starting winning determination process, the occurrence of starting winning is detected, and the process of storing the pending information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 and updating the pending storage number is executed. When a starting prize is generated, a random number value for determining the display result (including the jackpot type) and the variation pattern is extracted and stored as pending information. Further, based on the extracted random number value, a process of pre-reading and judging a display result or a variation pattern may be executed. After storing the pending information and the number of pending memories, the transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command for specifying the determination result such as the occurrence of the start winning, the number of pending memories, and the prefetch determination is performed on the effect control board 12. will be The effect control command at the time of starting winning thus set to be transmitted is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process of step S27 shown in FIG. is transmitted to

After executing the starting prize determination process in step S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes one of the processes of steps S110 to S120 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the RAM102. In addition, in each process (steps S110 to S120) of the special symbol process process, transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command corresponding to each process to the effect control board 12 is performed.

The special symbol normal process of step S110 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "0" (initial value). In this special symbol normal process, it is determined whether or not to start the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game based on the presence or absence of pending information. In addition, in the special symbol normal processing, based on the random number value for determining the display result, whether or not the display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is to be a "big hit" and the type of the big hit in the case of a "big hit" are determined by the display result. is determined (predetermined) before is derived and displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal process, a fixed special symbol (either a big hit symbol or a losing symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special symbol game is set according to the determined display result. After that, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "1", and the special symbol normal process ends. In addition, the special figure game using the second special figure may be executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure (also called special figure 2 priority digestion). Also, the winning order of the game balls to the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening may be stored, and the start condition of the special game may be established in the winning order (also called winning order digestion).

When making various decisions based on random numbers, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (tables in which decision values to be compared with random numbers are assigned to decision results) are referred to. Other decisions on the main board 11 and various decisions on the effect control board 12 are the same. Various tables are stored in the ROM 121 of the effect control board 12 .

The variation pattern setting process of step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "1". This variation pattern setting process includes a process of determining one of a plurality of variation patterns using a random number value for determining the variation pattern based on the result of pre-determination of whether or not the display result is a "big hit". It is included. In the variation pattern setting process, when the variation pattern is determined, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "2", and the variation pattern setting process ends.

The variation pattern is the execution time of the special game (special figure fluctuation time) (also the execution time of variable display of decorative patterns), the form of variable display of decorative patterns (whether or not there is a reach, etc.), and the variable display of decorative patterns. It specifies the content of the production (type of reach production, etc.), and is also called a variable display pattern.

The special symbol variation process of step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "2". This special symbol variation processing includes a process of setting for varying the special symbols in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and the elapsed time after the special symbol starts to vary. It includes processing to measure Also, it is determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure variation time corresponding to the variation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the special symbol variation reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3", and the special symbol variation processing ends.

The special symbol stop processing of step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "3". In this special symbol stop processing, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B stop the variation of the special symbol, and stop display (derivate) the fixed special symbol which is the display result of the special symbol. It includes a process to set for Then, when the display result is "big hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". When the display result is "missing", when it is controlled to the time saving state or the variable probability state, and when the end of the number of cuts is established, the game state is also updated. When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

The jackpot opening preprocessing of step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "4". This jackpot opening pre-processing includes processing for making settings for starting a round in the jackpot game state and opening the jackpot, based on the fact that the display result is a "jackpot". is When opening the big winning opening, a process of supplying a solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door is executed. At this time, for example, an upper limit opening period for opening the big winning opening and an upper limit execution number of rounds are set according to the type of the jackpot. When these settings are completed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", and the big hit opening pretreatment is completed.

The process during jackpot opening of step S115 is performed when the value of a special figure process flag is "5". In this process during the opening of the big win, there is a process of measuring the elapsed time from opening the big winning hole, and based on the measured elapsed time and the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, the big winning hole is counted. It includes processing for determining whether or not it is time to return from the open state to the closed state. Then, when returning the large winning opening to the closed state, after executing processing such as stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "6", The process during jackpot opening is terminated.

The jackpot opening post-processing of step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "6". This jackpot opening post-processing includes processing for determining whether or not the number of executions of rounds in which the jackpot is opened has reached a set upper limit execution count, and a jackpot gaming state when the upper limit execution count is reached. It includes processing to make settings for terminating . Then, when the number of executions of the round has not reached the upper limit number of executions, the value of the special process flag is updated to "5", while when the number of executions of the round reaches the upper limit number of executions, the special process flag The value is updated to "7". When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the jackpot release post-processing ends.

The jackpot end processing of step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "7". This jackpot end processing includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which an ending production is executed as a production operation for notifying the end of the jackpot game state, and a probability change corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state. It includes processing for performing various settings for starting control and time saving control. When such setting is performed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the jackpot ending process ends.

The pachinko game machine 1 is configured such that the probability of winning a big hit and the rate of putting out balls are changed according to set values. For example, in the special symbol normal processing of the special symbol process processing, by using the display result determination table (winning probability) according to the set value, the winning probability of the big hit and the ball-out rate are changed. For example, the setting value consists of 6 stages from 1 to 6, and 6 is the highest probability of winning the big win, and the probability of winning the big win decreases in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 as the value decreases. In this example, when 6 is set as the setting value, the advantage for the player is the highest, and the lower the value in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the lower the advantage in stages. . If the probability of winning a big hit changes according to the set value, the throwing rate may also change according to the set value. While the probability of winning a big win is constant regardless of the set value, the number of rounds in the big win game state may change according to the set value. The pachinko game machine 1 may be configured so as to be able to set one of a plurality of set values with different degrees of advantage for the player. The set values set in the pachinko game machine 1 are notified by transmitting a set value designation command from the main board 11 side to the effect control board 12 side.

FIG. 7 shows a configuration example of a display result determination table. FIG. 7(A) shows a configuration example of the first special figure display result determination table used when the fluctuation special figure is the first special figure, and FIG. It shows a configuration example of the display result determination table for the second special figure used when it is a figure. A display result determination table is a collection of data stored in the ROM 101 . In the display result determination table, the hit determination value compared with the random value MR1 is assigned to the special symbol display result, which is the variable display result of the special symbols, according to the set value. The random number MR1 is a random number for determining the display result, and the value is randomly updated within the range of 0-65535. As the display result determination table, a common display result determination table may be used for the first special figure and the second special figure.

As shown in FIG. 7 (A), when the variable special figure is the first special figure, the set value is 1 and when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, in the range of 0 to 65535 It is a numerical value that can take a value, and among the hit judgment values that are compared with the random number MR1 for special figure display result judgment, 1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hit", and 65317 to 65535 are "with time saving "missing" and other numerical ranges are assigned to "missing". In addition, when the set value is 1 and the game state is a probability variable state, among the above-mentioned hit determination values, 1020 to 1346 are assigned to "big hit", and other numerical ranges are assigned to "miss" assigned. It should be noted that when the variable special figure has a set value of 2 to 6 in the first special figure and the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, it is as shown in FIG. 7(A).

As shown in FIG. 7 (B), when the fluctuation special figure is the second special figure, the set value is 1, and if the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, in the range of 0 to 65535 It is a numerical value that can take a value, and among the hit judgment values compared with the random number MR1 for special figure display result judgment, 1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hit", and 65317 to 65425 are "with time saving "missing" and other numerical ranges are assigned to "missing". In addition, when the set value is 1 and the game state is a probability variable state, among the above-mentioned hit determination values, 1020 to 1346 are assigned to "big hit", and other numerical ranges are assigned to "miss" assigned. It should be noted that when the variable special figure is set to 2 to 6 in the second special figure and the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, it is as shown in FIG. 7(B).

Here, focusing on the numerical range of the hit determination value assigned to "big hit" or "loss with time saving" in each display result determination table, as shown in FIG. In the first special figure display result determination table, the range from 1020 to 1237 of the hit determination values is set to the common numerical range of the big hit determination values for determining the big hit regardless of the set value.

In addition, when the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value for judging the jackpot is set (1020 to 1237 are assigned to the "jackpot"), while the set value 2 In the case of set value 6, a numerical range corresponding to each set value from 1238 is set as a non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the big hit determination value. The non-common numerical range of this jackpot determination value is the range of 1238 to 1253 for setting value 2, the range from 1238 to 1272 for setting value 3, the range from 1238 to 1292 for setting value 4, and the range from 1238 to 1317 for setting value 5. , and set value 6 are set in the range of 1238 to 1346, respectively.

That is, in the first special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, if the setting value is 1, the hit determination value that can take a value in the range of 0 to 65535, common While only numbers within the numerical range (1020-1237) are assigned to the "jackpot", if the set value is 2 or more, the non-common numerical range is added to the common numerical range among the jackpot determination values. A number within the range is assigned to the "jackpot". Furthermore, the non-common numerical range increases from 1238 as the set value increases.

For this reason, the probability of a big hit increases as the non-common numerical range that is continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the judgment value of the big hit (jackpot reference value). go.

Furthermore, in the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 65317 to 65535 of the hit determination values determines the time saving loss regardless of the set value It is set to the common numerical range of the deviation judgment value with time saving. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, as described above, 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the big hit judgment value, and with time saving The deviation determination value is in a numerical range different from the range of the big hit determination value (1020 to 1346) of the set value 6, with 65317 as a reference value for loss with time reduction (reference value for loss with time reduction), in the range of 65317 to 65535 Since it is set, it is prevented that the numerical range of the loss determination value with time saving is overlapped with the range of the big hit determination value which changes according to each set value.

In addition, in the first special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is the variable probability state, the range from 1020 to 1346 of the hit determination values is the jackpot determination value for determining the jackpot regardless of the set value. Set to a common numeric range.

When the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value for judging the jackpot is set (1020 to 1346 are assigned to the "jackpot"), while the set value 2 to setting In the case of value 6, a numerical range corresponding to each set value from 1347 is set as the non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the big hit determination value. The non-common numerical range of this jackpot judgment value is the range of 1347 to 1383 for the setting value 2, the range of 1347 to 1429 for the setting value 3, the range 1347 to 1487 for the setting value 4, and the range 1347 to 1556 for the setting value 5. , and set value 6 are set in the range of 1347 to 1674, respectively.

That is, in the first special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is a variable probability state, if the set value is 1, the common numerical range ( 1020 to 1346) are assigned to the "jackpot", while if the set value is 2 or more, among the jackpot determination values, the common numerical range plus the non-common numerical range A numerical value is assigned to the "jackpot". Furthermore, the non-common numerical range increases with 1347 as the reference as the set value increases.

For this reason, the probability of a big hit increases as the non-common numerical range that is continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the judgment value of the big hit (jackpot reference value). go.

In the second special figure display result determination table in the case where the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 1020 to 1237 of the hit determination values is the jackpot determination value for determining the big hit regardless of the set value. is set to a common numeric range for

In addition, when the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value for judging the jackpot is set (1020 to 1237 are assigned to the "jackpot"), while the set value 2 In the case of set value 6, a numerical range corresponding to each set value from 1238 is set as a non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the big hit determination value. The non-common numerical range of this jackpot determination value is the range of 1238 to 1253 for setting value 2, the range from 1238 to 1272 for setting value 3, the range from 1238 to 1292 for setting value 4, and the range from 1238 to 1317 for setting value 5. , and set value 6 are set in the range of 1238 to 1346, respectively.

In other words, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, in the second special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, when the set value is 1, the value can be in the range of 0 to 65535 Of the hit judgment values, only numbers within the common numerical range (1020 to 1237) are assigned to the "jackpot", while if the set value is 2 or more, among the jackpot judgment values, the common numerical range Numbers within the range plus the non-common number range are assigned to the "jackpot". Furthermore, the non-common numerical range increases from 1238 as the set value increases.

For this reason, the probability of a big hit increases as the non-common numerical range that is continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the judgment value of the big hit (jackpot reference value). go.

Furthermore, in the second special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 65317 to 65425 of the hit determination values determines the time saving loss regardless of the set value It is set to the common numerical range of the deviation judgment value with time saving. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, as described above, 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the big hit judgment value, and with time saving The deviation determination value is in a numerical range different from the range of the big hit determination value of the setting value 6 (1020 to 1346), with 65317 as a reference value for loss with time reduction (reference value for loss with time reduction), in the range of 65317 to 65425 Since it is set, it is prevented that the numerical range of the loss determination value with time saving is overlapped with the range of the big hit determination value which changes according to each set value.

In the second special figure display result determination table when the game state is the variable probability state, the range from 1020 to 1346 of the hit determination values is the common numerical value of the jackpot determination value for determining the jackpot regardless of the set value. set in the range. The characteristics of the other second special figure display result determination table are the same as those of the first special figure display result determination table.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the variable special symbol is the first special symbol, regardless of the set value, 65317 to When the range of 65535 is set in the common numerical range with time reduction and the deviation is the second special symbol, when the game state is the normal state and the time reduction state, the set value Regardless, the range of 65317 to 65425 is set as a common numerical range for time saving. In other words, when the game state is the normal state and the time saving state, the rate at which the variable display result is not with the time saving is a common rate for any set value, so the gambling property depending on the set value can be prevented from becoming excessively high. In addition, for time-saving loss to which a common judgment value number is assigned for each set value, since it is set in a continuous numerical range from 65317, which is the time-saving loss reference value, in any setting value, variable display It is possible to reduce the processing load of the CPU 103 regarding the determination of the result as being out of time saving.

In this pachinko game machine 1, the number of setting values that can be set is 6 from 1 to 6, but the number of setting values that can be set in the pachinko game machine 1 may be 5 or less or 7 or more. . Also, the smaller the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1, the more advantageous it is for the player.

The jackpot type may be determined at different ratios depending on the set value based on the assignment of the determination value in the jackpot type determination table. Alternatively, the jackpot type may be determined at a common rate regardless of the set value. The variation pattern may be determined at different ratios depending on the set values based on the allocation of the determination values in the variation pattern determination table. Alternatively, the variation pattern may be determined with a common ratio regardless of the set value. By having different execution ratios of normal reach and super reach depending on the set value, the set value may be suggested by the frequency with which normal reach and super reach are executed. Alternatively, regardless of the set value, the execution ratio of normal reach and super reach may be common. In addition, it may be possible to execute arbitrary setting suggestion effects at different ratios according to the set values.

[Main operations of production control board 12]
Next, main operations in the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated, and the effect control main processing as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 9 is executed. When the production control main process shown in FIG. 9 is started, the production control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71), clears the RAM 122, sets various initial values, Perform register setting of the mounted CTC (counter/timer circuit). Also, an initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial motion control process, control for initial motion of the movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return it to the origin position and control for confirming a predetermined motion, is executed.

After that, it is determined whether or not the timer interrupt flag is turned on (step S73). The timer interrupt flag is set to ON every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses based on, for example, the CTC register setting. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; No), the process of step S73 is repeatedly executed and waits.

Also, on the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to the timer interrupt that occurs each time a predetermined time elapses. This interrupt is an interrupt generated when, for example, the effect control INT signal from the main substrate 11 is turned on. When an interrupt occurs due to the effect control INT signal being turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets interrupt prohibition, but when using a CPU that does not automatically enter an interrupt prohibition state, interrupt It is desirable to issue a prohibition order (DI order). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to the interruption caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, the effect control command is taken in from a predetermined input port for receiving the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15 among the input ports included in the I/O 125 . The effect control command taken in at this time is stored in the effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122, for example. After that, the effect control CPU 120 ends the command reception interrupt process after setting the interrupt permission.

If the timer interrupt flag is ON at step S73 (step S73; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared to be turned off (step S74), and command analysis processing is executed (step S75). In the command analysis process, for example, after reading various effect control commands that are transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, the read effect control command Corresponding settings and controls are performed. For example, the read production control command is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122, or the read production control command is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 so that the content specified by the production control command can be confirmed by the production control process processing or the like. It turns on the provided reception flag. Further, when the effect control command specifies the game state, the display control unit 123 may be instructed to display a background corresponding to the game state.

After executing the command analysis process in step S75, the effect control process process is executed (step S76). In the effect control process processing, for example, the display operation of the effect image in the display area of the image display device 5, the sound output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation of the decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED, and the movable body 32 Control to operate various production devices such as driving operation of is performed. Further, determination, determination, setting, and the like are performed according to the effect control command and the like transmitted from the main board 11 regarding the control contents of the effect operation using various effect devices.

Random number update processing for production|presentation is performed following the production|presentation control process processing of step S76 (step S77), and at least one part of the random number for production|presentation used by the production|presentation control board 12 side is updated by software. After that, the process returns to step S73. Other processing may be performed before returning to the processing of step S73.

FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing an example of processing executed in step S76 of FIG. 9 as the effect control process processing. In the effect control process shown in FIG. 10, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a pre-reading notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, based on the effect control command at the time of start winning transmitted from the main substrate 11, determination, determination, setting, etc. for executing the pre-reading notice effect are performed. Also, a process for displaying a pending display is executed based on the number of pending memories specified from the effect control command.

After executing the process of step S161, the effect control CPU 120 selects and executes one of the processes of steps S170 to S175 as described below according to the value of the effect process flag provided in the RAM 122, for example.

The variable display start waiting process in step S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "0" (initial value). This variable display start waiting process is a process of determining whether or not to start variable display of decorative patterns on the image display device 5 based on whether or not a command designating the start of variable display has been received from the main substrate 11. and so on. When it is determined to start the variable display of the decoration pattern on the image display device 5, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "1", and the variable display start waiting process is terminated.

The variable display start setting process in step S171 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "1". In this variable display start setting process, based on the display result and the variation pattern specified by the effect control command, the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern (determined decorative pattern), the form of the variable display of the decorative pattern, the ready-to-win effect, and various other Whether or not to execute various effects such as advance notice effects, its mode, execution start timing, etc. are determined. Then, an effect control pattern (collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the effect) reflecting the determination result or the like is set. After that, based on the set effect control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start execution of variable display of decorative symbols, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2", and the variable display start setting process is terminated. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start variable display of the decorative design in response to an instruction to start execution of variable display of the decorative design.

The effect process during variable display in step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "2". In this variable display effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 instructs the display control unit 123 to display the effect image based on the effect control pattern set in step S171 on the display screen of the image display device 5. , driving the movable body 32, outputting voices and sound effects from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting commands (sound effect signals) to the voice control board 13, and outputting commands (illumination signals) to the lamp control board 14. Various effects are controlled during the variable display of decorative patterns, such as turning on/off/blinking the game effect lamp 9 and decorative LEDs by output. After performing such effect control, for example, an end code indicating the end of the variable display of the decorative pattern is read from the effect control pattern, or a command designating to stop display of the fixed decorative pattern is received from the main board 11. Corresponding to the fact that the player has done so, the fixed decoration pattern which becomes the display result of the decoration pattern is stopped and displayed. When the fixed decoration pattern is stopped and displayed, the value of the production process flag is updated to "3", and the production process during variable display ends.

The special figure per waiting process of step S173 is a process executed when the value of the production process flag is "3". In this special figure waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not an effect control command designating the start of the big hit game state is received from the main substrate 11 . Then, when receiving a performance control command designating the start of the jackpot game state, the value of the performance process flag is updated to "4". Further, when the waiting time for receiving the command elapses without receiving the command designating the start of the jackpot game state, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game is "lost", and the production process flag is set. is updated to the initial value "0". When the value of the production process flag is updated, the special figure per waiting process is terminated.

The effect process during the big hit in step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "6". In this big-hit production process, the production control CPU 120 sets, for example, production control patterns corresponding to the production contents in the big-hit game state, and executes various production controls in the big-hit game state based on the set contents. Further, in the big-hit production process, for example, in response to receiving a command designating to end the big-hit game state from the main board 11, the value of the production process flag is changed to "5", which is the value corresponding to the ending production process. ”, and ends the effect processing during the big hit.

The ending effect process of step S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "7". In this ending effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, effect control patterns corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state, etc., and controls various effects of the ending effect at the end of the jackpot game state based on the set contents. Execute. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value of "0", and the ending effect process is terminated.

[Modified example of basic explanation]

For example, one of them may have a ratio of “0%” and the other may have a ratio of “100%” or less than “100%”.

[Description of Characteristic Portion 131SG]
Next, the pachinko game machine 1 relating to the characteristic portion 131SG will be described. In addition, in the explanation of each step of the flowchart in the characteristic part 131SG, for example, the place described as "step S1" is abbreviated as "S1" or "131SGS1", and "normal reach" is abbreviated as "N reach" and "super reach". It may be abbreviated as "SP reach". Further, in the characteristic portion 131SG, "fluctuation" may be referred to as "variable display". In addition, the configuration having the same function as that of the pachinko game machine 1 described in the basic description or having a different form, arrangement position, etc., will be omitted from detailed description by attaching the same reference numerals. In the following, the front side of FIG. 11-1 is the front (front, front) side of the pachinko game machine 1, and the back side is the back (rear) side, and when the pachinko game machine 1 is viewed from the front side The direction will be used as a reference.

The ROM 101 also stores table data constituting a plurality of control pattern tables used by the CPU 103 to output various control signals from the main substrate 11, and variable display of each symbol in variable display such as special symbols and normal symbols. A variation pattern determination table that stores a plurality of types of variation patterns, etc., is stored.

FIG. 11-3 (B) shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table stored in the ROM101. In this embodiment, as the special figure display result determination table, a special figure display result determination table common to the first special figure and the second special figure is used, but the present invention is not limited to this, Separate special figure display result determination tables may be used for the first special figure and the second special figure.

The special figure display result determination table is a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. Before the determined special symbol is derived and displayed, whether or not to control the variable display result as "big win" to the big win game state is determined based on the random number MR1 for judging the special figure display result. It is a table where

In the special figure display result determination table in the present embodiment, depending on whether the game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state or a time saving state (low probability state) or a probability variable state (high probability state), the special figure A numerical value (determined value) to be compared with the random number value MR1 for display result determination is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" or "loss".

In the special figure display result determination table, the table data showing the judgment value to be compared with the random number MR1 for special figure display result judgment determines whether or not to control the special figure display result to the big hit game state as "big hit". It is the judgment data assigned to the result. In the special figure display result determination table in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is a variable probability state (high probability state), more determination values than when the normal state or time saving state (low probability state), "jackpot ” is assigned to the special figure display result. As a result, in the variable probability state (high probability state) in which the variable probability control is performed in the pachinko game machine 1, when the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state), the special figure display result is set as "big hit" and controlled to the big hit game state. Then, compared to the determined probability (approximately 1/319.68 in this embodiment), the probability of being determined when the special figure display result is set to "big win" and controlled to the big win gaming state becomes higher (approximately 1 in this embodiment /80.02). That is, in the special figure display result determination table, when the game state in the pachinko game machine 1 is a probability variable state (high probability state), it is determined to control to a big hit game state compared to the normal state or time saving state. Judgment data is assigned to the determination result as to whether or not to control to the jackpot game state so as to increase the probability.

In the determination table stored in the ROM 101, in addition to the first special figure display result determination table and the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. For the first special symbol), in addition to the big hit type determination table (for the second special symbol) shown in FIG. ), a normal figure fluctuation pattern determination table (not shown), etc. are included.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment is configured such that the probability of winning a big win (ball throwing rate) does not change according to the set value. may be changed.

[Jackpot type determination table]
Figure 11-3 (C1) and Figure 11-3 (C2) are explanatory diagrams showing a jackpot type determination table (for first special symbol) and a jackpot type determination table (for second special symbol) stored in ROM 101 is. Of these, FIG. 11-3 (C1) determines the jackpot type using the reservation memory based on the game ball winning the first start winning port (that is, when the variable display of the first special symbol is performed) This is a table for when In addition, FIG. 11-3 (C1) determines the jackpot type using the reservation memory based on the game ball winning the second start winning opening (that is, when the variable display of the second special symbol is performed) This is a table of cases.

The jackpot type determination table selects a jackpot type from jackpot A to jackpot C based on a random number (MR2) for hit type determination when it is determined that the variable display result is a jackpot pattern. This table is referenced to determine

Here, the jackpot types in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 11-3(D). In this embodiment, as the jackpot types, jackpot A, jackpot B, and jackpot C are provided in which time-saving control is executed over a maximum of 110 variable displays after the jackpot game state ends. In addition, these jackpot A, jackpot B, and jackpot C are maximized after the jackpot game ends by entering the V prize opening after the game ball enters the second jackpot in the first round of the jackpot game state. It is also a big hit in which probability variable control is executed over 110 variable displays.

In this embodiment, the open state of the variable V winning ball device (V lid) is a short open state (for example, 0.1 seconds) with a short open period and a long open state with a long open period. (eg, 15 seconds). In the big win A, the variable V winning ball device is in the short open state in the first round of the big winning game state, and in the big wins B and C, the variable V winning ball device is in the long open state in the first round of the big winning game state. and

In the jackpot game state by ``jackpot A'', the second big prize winning port is changed to an open state advantageous to the player in the first round, and the first big prize winning port is advantageous to the player in the second to sixth rounds. It is a normal open jackpot that changes to an open state. In addition, in the "jackpot A", since the variable V winning ball device is in a short open state in the first round, it is extremely difficult for the game ball to enter the V winning hole, and variable probability control is not executed. Since it cannot be expected, it becomes a substantial normal jackpot.

In the jackpot game state by the ``big win B'', the second big prize opening is changed to an open state advantageous to the player in the first round, and the first big prize opening is advantageous to the player in the second to sixth rounds. It is a normal open jackpot that changes to an open state. In addition, in the "jackpot B", the variable V winning ball device is in the long open state in the first round, so that it is extremely easy for the game ball to enter the V winning hole, and variable probability control can be executed. Since it can be expected, it will be a substantial hit.

In the jackpot game state by ``jackpot C'', the second big prize opening is changed to an open state advantageous to the player in the first round, and the first big prize opening is advantageous to the player in the second to tenth rounds. It is a normal open jackpot that changes to an open state. In addition, in the "jackpot C", since the variable V winning ball device is in the long open state in the first round, it is extremely easy for the game ball to enter the V winning hole, and variable probability control can be executed. Since it can be expected, it will be a substantial hit.

In this embodiment, three types of jackpot A to jackpot C are provided as jackpot types, but the present invention is not limited to this. More than one type may be provided.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-3 (C1), in the big hit type determination table (for the first special symbol), 0 to 149 out of the range 0 to 299 of the determination value of MR2 are assigned to the big hit A. , and 150 to 299 are assigned to jackpot B. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11-3 (C2), in the big hit type determination table (for the second special symbol), 0 to 99 out of the range 0 to 299 of the determination value of MR2 are assigned to the big hit B. 100 to 299 are assigned to jackpot C.

That is, in the present embodiment, when the variable special symbol is the first special symbol, the game ball is likely to enter the V winning opening in the first round of the jackpot game state at a rate of 50%, thereby winning the jackpot. Both the variable probability control and the time saving control are implemented after the end of the game. Furthermore, when the variable special symbol is the second special symbol, the game ball is likely to enter the V winning opening in the first round of the big win game state with a probability of 100%, so that the probability change control is performed after the big win game ends. and time saving control are both implemented.

In this embodiment, even in the case of a big hit A, it is possible to win a V prize when the V cover is in a short-circuited open state, but it is extremely rare, so if a big hit A is made , V will not be won and the variable probability control will not be executed. Also, even in the case of the big win B and the big win C, it is possible that the V prize cannot be won when the V lid is in the long open state, but it is extremely rare, so the big win B and the big win C are made. In this case, it is assumed that the V prize is won and the variable probability control is executed.

In this embodiment, the jackpot type is determined using MR2, which is a random number value for judging the jackpot type. It may be determined using MR1, which is a random number value for.

In addition, in this embodiment, for example, as the jackpot type for the second special symbol, after the end of the jackpot gaming state 110 times probability variation control and time saving control can be executed jackpots B, C has been exemplified, but this The invention is not limited to this, for example, after the end of the jackpot gaming state, time saving control may be provided 1009 times (probability variable state: 110 times + time saving state A: 899 times). By doing so, the interest is improved because the next big hit is rich, and after the end of the big hit D, even if the big hit does not occur in the 110-time probability change state and the probability change control ends, the time saving state A (low probability After executing 899 times of variable display without generating a big hit in the high base state), it is controlled to the time saving state B (relief time saving state) to be described later by executing the variable display only once in the normal state. Therefore, interest increases.

[time reduction number of times]
FIG. 11-4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the number of time reductions for each transition opportunity. As shown in FIG. 11-4, in the present embodiment, when a game ball does not win a prize in the probability variable region due to the occurrence of a big hit A, (1) time saving control is performed 110 times, and (2) low Time-saving state A in which definite control is performed 110 times (in this embodiment, it is controlled to a battle rush (BATTLE RUSH) with a time-saving number of times of 110 times. In addition, either a big hit B or a big hit C occurs and the game is played in the probability variable area When the ball wins, (1) time-saving control is performed 110 times, and (2) probability-variable control is performed 110 times (in this embodiment, a pole battle rush (pole/BATTLE RUSH)).In addition, when the variable display is performed 900 times without being controlled by a big hit in a low-probability state, (1) time-saving control is performed 1100 times, and (2) low-probability Control is performed 1100 times in a time-saving state B (in this embodiment, the play time is 1100 times of time-saving).However, after the time-saving state B ends, it is 900 again without being controlled to a big hit in a low-probability state. Even if the change is performed twice, it is not controlled to the time saving state B again based on this.

In addition, the relief time reduction arrival rate is a rate controlled to the time reduction state via the relief time reduction. Since the time-saving state via the relief time-saving is controlled by performing variable display n times (900 times in this embodiment) without being controlled to the jackpot game state, the relief time-saving arrival rate K is It can be calculated as follows.

K={(1−ML)̂n}×100
(K = time saving arrival rate, ML = jackpot probability, n = variable display count)

Specifically, for example, if the jackpot probability ML in the present embodiment is approximately 1/319, the relief short-time arrival rate K is 5.9%. In addition, in the case of a gaming machine in which setting values can be set, the lower the jackpot probability is, the higher the relief time reduction arrival rate is, so that even if the jackpot probability is a low setting value, the player can be saved. can do.

[Variation pattern type determination table/Variation pattern determination table]
The determination table stored in the ROM 101 includes a plurality of variation pattern type determination tables for determining the variation pattern type according to the game state and the variable display result, the variation pattern determined by the variation pattern type determination table, the game state, the variable It also includes a plurality of variation pattern type determination tables for determining a variation pattern according to the display result and the reserved memory number of special symbols for executing variable display (variable display target reserved memory number).

In the variation pattern setting process in this embodiment, a variation pattern type determination table is selected according to the game state and variable display result. Next, the selected variation pattern type determination table is compared with the random number MR3 read at step 131SGS55 of the special symbol normal processing to determine the variation pattern type.

For example, if the game state is a normal state and the variable display result is a loss, select the loss variation pattern determination table A shown in FIG. The variation pattern type is determined by comparing with the value of the numerical value MR3. If the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 0 to 3299, the variation pattern type is determined as "non-reach", and if the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 3300 to 4053, the variation pattern type is set to "normal reach". If the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 4054 to 4073, the variation pattern type is determined to be "low base weak super reach", and if the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 4074 to 4081, the variation pattern If the type is determined to be "low base strong super reach A" and the value of random number MR3 is in the range of 4082 to 4089, the fluctuation pattern type is determined to be "low base strong super reach B" and the value of random number MR3 is in the range of 4090 to 4094, the variation pattern type is determined as "low base strong super reach C", and if the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 4095, the variation pattern type is "low base strongest super reach". to decide.

If the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 0 to 3849, the variation pattern type is determined as "non-reach", and if the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 3850 to 4048, the variation pattern type is set to "normal reach". If the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 4049 to 4066, the variation pattern type is determined as "high base super reach A", and if the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 4067 to 4083, the variation pattern If the type is determined to be "high base super reach B" and the value of random number MR3 is in the range of 4084 to 4094, the variation pattern type is determined to be "high base super reach C" and the value of random number MR3 is 4095 If it is within the range of , the variation pattern type is determined as "high base super reach D".

Also, if the game state is the time saving state B and the variable display result is lost, select the loss variation pattern determination table C shown in FIG. The variation pattern type is determined by comparing the values of the random number MR3. If the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 0 to 4095, the variation pattern type is determined as "non-reach".

Also, if the game state is the time saving state A or the variable probability state and the variable display result is lost, select the big hit variation pattern determination table B shown in FIG. The variation pattern type is determined by comparing the table B and the value of the random number MR3. If the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 0 to 25, the variation pattern type is determined as "normal reach", and if the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 26 to 975, the variation pattern type is set to "high base super reach". A” and the value of the random value MR3 is in the range of 976 to 2075, the variation pattern type is determined to be “high base super reach B”, and the value of the random value MR3 is in the range of 2076 to 3380 determines the variation pattern type to be "high base super reach C", and if the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 3381 to 4095, determines the variation pattern type to be "high base super reach D".

Also, if the game state is the time saving state B and the variable display result is lost, select the big hit variation pattern determination table C shown in FIG. 11-7 (F), and the loss variation pattern determination table C The variation pattern type is determined by comparing the values of the random number MR3. If the value of the random number MR3 is in the range of 0 to 4095, the variation pattern type is determined as "non-reach".

The degree of expectation of a super reach effect is the ratio of a big hit when the corresponding super reach effect is executed. It is a value calculated by dividing by the sum of the percentage of big hits by executing and the percentage of losing by executing the corresponding super reach effect.

As shown in FIG. 11-11 (A), among the reach effects of super reach executed when the game state is the normal state, from the reach effects of low base weak super reach A and low base weak super reach B, Since there is no direct hit, the expected hit level is 0%. C, Low Base Strongest Reach) may develop into a reach production, and the expectation of development from low base weak super reach A to other super reach reach production is about 44%, low base weak super reach B to other The degree of expectation for the development of reach performance of super reach is about 68%. The expected degree of development of the super reach effect is the rate at which the corresponding super reach effect is developed into another super reach effect when the corresponding super reach effect is executed. The ratio of development is the sum of the ratio of developing to other super reach effects by executing the corresponding super reach effect and the ratio of losing without developing to other super reach effects by executing the corresponding super reach effect. It is a value calculated by division.

In addition, among the reach effects of the super reach that are executed when the game state is the normal state, the hit expectation level of the reach effect of the low base strong super reach A is about 20%, and the reach effect of the low base strong super reach B is about 20%. The expected degree of big hit is about 25%, the expected degree of reach performance of low base strong super reach C is about 35%, and the expected degree of reach performance of low base strongest super reach is about 55%. In addition, low base strong super reach A to C, low base strongest super reach jackpot expectations for reach performance are when developed from low base weak super reach A, when developed from low base weak super reach B, and low base The expected level of jackpot is different between when it is executed directly without passing through weak super reach A and B, and the expected level of hit performance of low base strong super reach A developed from low base weak super reach A is about 19. Approximately 20%, the reach performance of low-base strong super reach A developed from low-base weak super reach B is about 20%, and the reach performance of low-base strong super reach A is performed directly without going through B. The expectation level is about 21%, and the expectation of the hit performance of low base strong super reach B developed from low base weak super reach A is about 24%, low base strong super reach B developed from low base weak super reach B. The expected hit of the reach effect is about 25%, and the expected hit of the reach effect of the low base strong super reach B, which is directly executed without going through B, is about 27%, and has developed from the low base weak super reach A. Low base strong super reach C has a reach expectation of about 33%, and low base strong super reach C developed from low base weak super reach B. The reach expectation of reach C is about 35%, go through B. The hit expectation of the low-base strong super reach C, which is directly executed without being played, is about 37%, and the hit expectation of the low-base strongest super reach, developed from the low-base weak super reach A, is about 53%. Low base weak super reach B The reach expectation of the low base strongest super reach that developed from B is about 55%. 57%.

As shown in FIG. 11-11(B), the hit expectation of the high-base super reach A reach performance executed when the game state is the time-saving state A is about 14%, and the reach performance of the high-base super reach B is about 14%. The degree of expectation for a big hit is about 16%, the degree of expectation for a big hit in the reach performance of the high base super reach C is about 27%, and the degree of expectation for a big hit in the reach performance of the high base super reach D is about 70%.

The degree of expectation for big hit is about 45%, the degree of expectation for big hit of reach performance of high base super reach C is about 60%, and the degree of expectation of big hit of reach performance of high base super reach D is about 90%.

As will be described later, in the super ready-to-win effect, it is possible to display an expectation indication display that suggests the degree of expectation for a big hit of the corresponding super ready-to-win effect by the number of stars. As shown in FIG. 11-11 (A), among the super reach that is executed when the game state is the normal state, in the reach production of the low base weak super reach A and B, the expectation indication is not displayed, and the low 3 stars for the expectation indication in the reach production of the base strong super reach A, 3.5 stars for the expectation indication in the reach production of the low base strong super reach B, expectations in the reach production of the low base strong super reach C 4 stars are displayed in the degree suggestive display, and 4.5 stars are displayed in the expected degree suggestive display in the reach performance of the lowest base strongest super reach. As shown in FIGS. 11-11 (B) and (C), 3 stars are displayed in the expectation indication display in the reach performance of the high base super reach A that is executed when the game state is the time saving state A and the variable probability state. 3.5 stars are displayed in the expectation indication display in the reach production of high base super reach B, 4 stars are displayed in the expectation indication display in reach production of high base super reach C, and high base super reach 4.5 stars are displayed in the expectation suggestion display in the reach effect of D.

The same number of stars are displayed in the expectation indication display in the reach effect of super reach executed when the game state is normal and the reach effect of super reach executed when the game state is variable probability state. However, as shown in FIGS. 11-12 (A) and (B), even if the number of stars displayed in the expectation indication display is the same, the suggested jackpot expectations are not the same. If the number of stars displayed in the degree indication display is the same, the super which is executed when the gaming state is a probability variable state than the reach effect of the super reach which is executed when the gaming state is a normal state Reach's reach production suggests a higher jackpot expectation.

In addition, even if it is a super ready-to-win reach effect that is executed when the game state is a normal state or a super ready-to-win reach effect that is executed when the game state is a variable probability state, the expectation level indication display Every time the number of stars displayed in increases by 0.5, the suggested jackpot expectation increases, but as shown in FIGS. As the number of stars increases in the expectation degree suggestion display of the reach performance, the suggested increase amount of the jackpot expectation degree increases. Also, as shown in FIGS. 11-12 (A) and (B), when the number of stars displayed in the expectation indication display increases from 3 to 3.5, the amount of increase in the expectation of the jackpot is It is the same whether it is a super ready-to-win reach effect executed when the game state is a normal state or a super ready-to-win reach effect to be executed when the game state is a variable probability state, but the degree of expectation When the number of stars displayed in the suggestion display increases from 3.5 to 4 and from 4 to 4.5, the amount of increase in the expected degree of jackpot is performed when the game state is the normal state. The ready-to-win performance of super ready-to-win that is executed when the game state is in the variable probability state is larger than the ready-to-win performance of super ready-to-win.

The first special figure reservation storage unit 131SG151A is a special feature that has not yet been started although the game ball passes (enters) the first start prize opening formed by the prize ball device 6A and the start prize (first start prize) has occurred. The pending data of the figure game (the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A) is stored. As an example, the first special figure reservation storage unit 131SG151A is associated with the reservation number in the order of winning to the first start winning opening (the order of detection of the game ball), the first start condition in the passage (entry) of the game ball Random number MR1 for special figure display result determination, random number MR2 for jackpot type determination, random number MR3 for variation pattern type determination, random number MR3 for variation pattern determination, extracted from random number circuit 104 etc. by CPU 103 based on establishment Numerical data indicating the numerical value MR4 is stored as reserved data until the number of stored data reaches a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4"). In addition, the upper limit that can store the pending data (holding storage) in the second special figure pending storage unit 131SG151B is always four regardless of the game state. The suspension data stored in the first special figure suspension storage unit 131SG151A in this way indicates that the execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is suspended, and the variable display result (special figure display (result)), which makes it possible to determine whether or not it will be a big hit.

In the second special figure reservation storage unit 131SG151B, although the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B and the start winning (second starting winning) has occurred, it has not started yet. It stores the pending data of the special symbol game (the special symbol game using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B). As an example, the second special figure reservation storage unit 131SG151B is associated with the reservation number in the order of winning to the second start winning opening (the order of detection of the game ball), the second start condition in the passage (entry) of the game ball Random number MR1 for special figure display result determination, random number MR2 for jackpot type determination, random number MR3 for variation pattern type determination, random number MR3 for variation pattern determination, extracted from random number circuit 104 etc. by CPU 103 based on establishment Numerical data indicating the numerical value MR4 is stored as reserved data until the number reaches a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4"). In addition, the upper limit that can store the pending data (holding storage) in the second special figure pending storage unit 131SG151B is always four regardless of the game state. The suspension data stored in the second special figure suspension storage unit 131SG151B in this way indicates that the execution of the special figure game using the second special figure is suspended, and the variable display result (special figure display (result)), which makes it possible to determine whether or not it will be a big hit.

In addition, hold information (first hold information) based on the establishment of the first start condition due to the game ball passing (entering) the first start winning hole, and the game ball passing (entering) the second start winning hole The suspension information (second suspension information) based on the establishment of the second starting prize by chance may be stored in association with the suspension number in the common suspension storage unit. In this case, starting opening data indicating which of the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening the game ball has passed through (entered) may be included in the holding information and stored in association with the holding number. .

In addition, at the time of execution of the variable display, the CPU 103, first, if there is a second special figure reservation memory in the special symbol normal processing (see FIG. 6), random numbers MR1 to MR4 from the second special figure reservation storage unit 131SG151B After reading out, the storage contents of the second special figure reservation storage unit 131SG151B are shifted. That is, when the numerical values of the random numbers MR1 to MR4 are stored as the pending storage of the pending number 1 of the second special figure pending storage unit 131SG151B, the CPU 103 stores the random values stored as the pending storage of the pending number 1. The values of MR1 to random number MR4 are read, the pending memory of the pending number 1 is erased, and the pending memory stored as the pending memory of the pending number 2 is set as the pending memory of the pending number 1 and the pending memory of the pending number 3. The reserved memory stored as the reserved memory of the reserved number 2 and the reserved memory stored as the reserved memory of the reserved number 4 are re-stored as the reserved memory of the reserved number 3.例文帳に追加

Moreover, CPU103 determines whether the 1st special figure reservation memory exists, when the reservation memory is not memorize|stored in 2nd special figure reservation storage part 131SG151B. When the first special figure reservation storage exists, after reading the random values MR1 to MR4 from the first special figure reservation storage unit 131SG151A, shift the storage contents of the first special figure reservation storage unit 131SG151A. That is, when the numerical values of the random numbers MR1 to MR4 are stored as the pending storage of the pending number 1 of the first special figure pending storage unit 131SG151A, the CPU 103 stores the random values stored as the pending storage of the pending number 1. The values of MR1 to random number MR4 are read, the pending memory of the pending number 1 is erased, and the pending memory stored as the pending memory of the pending number 2 is set as the pending memory of the pending number 1 and the pending memory of the pending number 3. The reserved memory stored as the reserved memory of the reserved number 2 and the reserved memory stored as the reserved memory of the reserved number 4 are re-stored as the reserved memory of the reserved number 3.例文帳に追加

Then, the CPU 103 determines the variable display result based on the random number value MR1 read from the first special figure reservation storage unit 131SG151A or the second special figure reservation storage unit 131SG151B (if the variable display result is a big hit, the random value Judgment of the jackpot type based on MR2) is executed), in the variation pattern determination process (see FIG. 6), a variation pattern that differs according to the number of pending memories of the game state, the variable display result, and the special symbol that executes the variable display After determining the variation pattern type using the type determination table, the variation pattern is determined using a different variation pattern determination table according to the determined variation pattern type, game state, number of retained memories, and the like.

That is, in this embodiment, the CPU 103 can determine a variation pattern in the variation pattern setting process according to the number of pending memories obtained by subtracting 1 from the pending memory just before the variable display.

The normal pattern pending storage unit 131SG151C stores the pending information of the normal pattern game which is not yet started by the normal pattern display device 20 even though the game ball is detected by the gate switch 21 . For example, the general pattern reservation storage unit 131SG151C associates the game ball with the reservation number in the order in which it was detected by the gate switch 21, and the general pattern display result extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like by the CPU 103 based on the passage of the game ball Numerical data indicating the random number MR4 for determination is stored as reserved data until the number reaches a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4").

[Start Winning Judgment Process]
FIG. 11-16 is a flow chart showing the starting winning judgment process (S101) shown in FIG. In the starting winning judgment process, the CPU 103 first turns on the first starting opening switch 22A based on the detection signal from the first starting opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A. (131SGS101). At this time, if the first starting port switch 22A is on (131SGS101; Y), the first special figure pending memory number, which is the number of reserved memories of the special figure game using the first special figure, is a predetermined upper limit value ( For example, it is determined whether or not "4" as the upper limit storage number is reached (131SGS102). CPU103, for example by reading the 1st reservation memory number count value which is the storage value of the 1st reservation memory number counter provided in game control counter setting section 131SG154, it should have specified the number of 1st special figure reservation memory. 131SGS102 when the first special figure pending storage number is not the upper limit value (131SGS102; N), for example, the storage value of the starting opening buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 131SG155 is set to "1" (131SGS103) .

When the first starting port switch 22A is off at 131SGS101 (131SGS101; N), and when the number of first special figure reservation storage reaches the upper limit at 131SGS102 (131SGS102; Y), the variable winning ball device 6B Based on the detection signal from the second starting opening switch 22B provided corresponding to the second starting winning opening formed by , it is determined whether the second starting opening switch 22B is ON (131SGS104). At this time, if the second starting port switch 22B is on (131SGS104; Y), the second special figure pending memory number, which is the number of reserved memories of the special figure game using the second special figure, is a predetermined upper limit value ( For example, it is determined whether or not "4" as the upper limit storage number is reached (131SGS105). CPU103, for example by reading the second reservation memory number count value which is the stored value of the second reservation memory number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 131SG154, it is sufficient if it can specify the number of second special figure reservation memory. In 131SGS105, when the number of second special figure pending storage is not the upper limit value (131SGS105; N), for example, the storage value of the starting opening buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 131SG155 is set to "2" (131SGS106). .

After executing either of the processes of 131SGS103 and 131SGS106, the number of special figure pending storage corresponding to the starting opening buffer value, which is the stored value of the starting opening buffer, is updated so as to add 1 (131SGS107). For example, when the starting buffer value is "1", the first reserved storage number count value is incremented by 1, while when the starting buffer value is "2", the second reserved storage number count value is incremented by 1. In this way, the first reserved memory number count value is set to 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the first special figure is established. Updated to increase. In addition, the second reserved memory number count value is 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the second special figure is established. Updated to increase. At this time, the total reserved storage number is also updated by adding 1 (131SGS108). For example, the total pending memory number count value, which is the stored value of the total pending memory number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 131SG154, may be updated so as to add 1.

After executing the processing of 131SGS108, the CPU 103 selects the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination and the hit type determination from among the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 104 and the random counter of the game control counter setting unit 131SG154. Random number MR2, random number MR3 for determining the type of variation pattern, and random number MR4 for determining the variation pattern are extracted (131SGS109). Numerical data indicating each random number extracted in this way and the starting port buffer value are stored by being set as suspension information at the beginning of the empty entry in the special figure suspension storage unit (131SGS110).

The numerical data indicating the random number MR1 for judging the result of the special figure display and the random number MR2 for judging the type of hit determine whether the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is a "big hit" or "small hit". is used to determine the big hit type/small hit type when the variable display result is "big hit" or "small hit". The random number MR3 for determining the type of variation pattern and the random number MR4 for determining the variation pattern are used to determine the variation pattern including the variable display time of special symbols and decorative symbols. By executing the processing of 131SGS109, the CPU 103 extracts numerical data indicating all of the random numbers used for determining the variable display mode including the result of variable display of special symbols and decorative symbols and the variable display time.

Following the processing of 131SGS110, the transmission setting of the starting opening winning designation command according to the starting opening buffer value is performed (131SGS111). For example, when the starting opening buffer value is "1", by storing the storage address of the first starting opening winning designation command table in the ROM 101 in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer, the effect control board 12 for transmitting the first starting entry winning designation command. On the other hand, when the starting opening buffer value is "2", the storage address of the second starting opening winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area of the transmission command buffer. Make settings for sending the second start winning designation command. The start opening winning designation command set in this way is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process of S27 shown in FIG. be done.

After the process of 131SGS111, the CPU 103 executes the winning random number value determination process (131SGS112). After that, for example, by storing the storage address of the pending storage number notification command table in the ROM 101 in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer, the pending storage number notification command is transmitted to the effect control board 12 (131SGS113). The reserved storage number notification command set in this way is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process of S27 shown in FIG. be done.

After executing the processing of 131SGS113, it is determined whether or not the start buffer value is "1" (131SGS114). At this time, if the start buffer value is "1" (Y at 131SGS114), the start buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to "0" (131SGS115), and then the process proceeds to 2390SGS104. On the other hand, when the start buffer value is "2" (N at 131SGS114), the start buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to "0" (131SGS116), and then the start winning process is executed. finish. Thus, even when both the first starter switch 22A and the second starter switch 22B simultaneously detect valid starting winnings of game balls, processing based on the detection of both valid starting winnings can be reliably completed.

[Random value determination process when winning a prize]
FIG. 11-17(A) is a flow chart showing an example of the processing executed in 131SGS 112 of FIG. 11-17 as the winning random number determination processing. In this embodiment, when the variable display of the special symbols and decorative symbols is started, the special symbol display result (variable display result of the special symbols) is set to "big hit" by the special symbol normal processing (FIG. 6), and the state of the jackpot game is entered. A determination is made as to whether or not to control. In addition, in the variation pattern setting process (FIG. 6), determination of variation pattern that specifically defines the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is performed. On the other hand, apart from these determinations, at the timing when the game ball is detected in the starting winning opening (first starting winning opening or second starting winning opening), the CPU 103 executes the random value determination process at the time of winning in S112. Then, it is determined whether or not it is determined that the big hit symbol is derived and displayed as a special figure display result. As a result, before the start of the variable display of the special symbols and decorative symbols based on the detection of the game ball that has entered the starting winning hole, that is, before the start of the variable display, it is determined whether or not a big win is to be made. Before, it is determined that the special figure display result will be a "big hit", and based on this determination result, the effect control CPU 120 etc., As will be described later, pre-reading notice such as panel display effect and pending notice effect will be executed.

11-17, the CPU 103 first identifies the game state (step 131SGS121) and selects the display result determination table shown in FIG. 11-3(B) (step 131SGS122). . In step 131SGS123a, the CPU 103 compares the random number MR1 extracted in step 131SGS109 with the display result determination table, and determines whether or not the random number MR1 is within the jackpot determination range.

If the random number MR1 is out of the jackpot determination range, that is, if the result of the variable display is a loss, transmission setting of a symbol designation command corresponding to the loss is performed (step 131SGS126a). Then, it is determined whether or not the game state is the normal state (step 131SGS126b). If the game state is the normal state, select the losing variation pattern type determination table A shown in FIG. 11-7(A) and proceed to step 131SGS131 (step 131SGS126c).

If the game state is not the normal state, it is further determined whether or not the game state is the time saving state B (step 131SGS126d). If the gaming state is not the time saving state B, that is, if the gaming state is the time saving state A or the variable probability state, select the variation pattern type determination table B for loss shown in FIG. Step 131SGS126e), if the gaming state is the time saving state B, select the losing variation pattern type determination table C shown in FIG. 11-7 (C) and proceed to step 131SGS131 (step 131SGS126f).

Further, in step 131SGS123a, when the random number MR1 is within the jackpot determination value range, the CPU 103 sets transmission of a symbol designation command corresponding to the jackpot (step 131SGS129). Then, it is determined whether or not the game state is the normal state (step 131SGS130a). If the game state is a normal state, the big hit variation pattern type determination table A shown in FIG. If the big hit variation pattern type determination table B shown and the gaming state is the time saving state B, select the big hit variation pattern type determination table C shown in FIG. , step 131SGS130d, step 131SGS130e).

At step 131SGS131, the CPU 103 compares the selected variation pattern type determination table with the random number MR3 extracted at step 131SGS109, and determines the variation category from non-reach, super reach, and others (normal reach). For example, if the random value MR3 is a non-reach variation pattern type, the variation category is determined as non-reach, and if the random value MR3 is a normal reach variation pattern type, the variation category is determined as other (normal reach), and random Numerical value MR3 is low base weak super reach A/B, low base strong super reach A, low base strong super reach B, low base strong super reach C, low base strong super reach, high base super reach A, high base super reach B. , high base super reach C, or high base super reach D, the fluctuation category may be determined as super reach. Then, the variable category designation command (any one shown in FIGS. 11-17(B)) according to the determination result is set to be transmitted, and the random value determination process at the time of winning is completed (step 131SGS132).

In addition, the command set for transmission is transmitted to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control processing shown in FIG. 5 by the CPU 103 .

[Game control main processing]
11-18 are flow charts showing the game control main process in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the processes of steps S1 to S7, the processes of steps S8 to S9, and the processes of steps S10 to S12 are the same as those shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, when the effect control command for instructing recovery from power failure is transmitted in step S7, the CPU 103 confirms the value of the relief time reduction number counter for counting the remaining variable display times until the relief time reduction. Then, the value obtained by converting the current relief time reduction counter value into hexadecimal is set, and control is performed to transmit a recovery time relief time reduction number designation command to the effect control CPU 120 (step 131SGS0013).

Next, the CPU 103 performs control to set a value corresponding to the current value of the relief time-saving number counter and transmit a relief time-saving number designation command to the effect control CPU 120 (step 131SGS0014). For example, when the current value of the relief time reduction number counter is 1 to 125 times, the CPU 103 performs control to transmit a command 9401H as a relief time reduction number designation command. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the RAM clear processing is not executed when the power is turned on to the gaming machine and the recovery processing is executed, the relief time reduction number designation command is transmitted, and the remaining variable until the current relief time reduction You will be notified of the number of impressions.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when power is restored, aside from the command at the time of restoration, the command for specifying the number of times of recovery and the number of times of recovery is transmitted. do not have. For example, in the EXT data of the recovery command (eg, power-on designation command) transmitted in step S7, a value corresponding to the remaining number of times until the relief time is shortened may be set and transmitted. .

Also, when RAM clear is requested in step S3, when there is no backup data in step S4, when there is an abnormality in the backup RAM in step S5, in the initialization process of step S8, the area of the relief time reduction counter Perform clear processing on the included area.

In addition, when the effect control command for instructing initialization is transmitted in step S9, the CPU 103 sets "900" to the relief time reduction number counter (step 131SGS0015). Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the RAM clearing process is executed when the game machine is powered on, "900" is set in the relief time saving number counter. That is, in the present embodiment, after the RAM clearing process is executed when the game machine is turned on, even if the variable display is executed 900 times, if no big hit occurs, the relief time is shortened and the time saving state B is entered. will be controlled. In addition, in the present embodiment, the effect control command for instructing initialization to be transmitted in step S9 corresponds to the initial value ("900") set to the relief time reduction number counter, so the CPU 103 initializes It is also possible to specify the initial value to be set in the relief time reduction number counter based on the transmission of the effect control command that instructs.

Next, the CPU 103 confirms the value of the relief time reduction counter ("900" in this embodiment), sets the value obtained by converting the current relief time reduction counter value into hexadecimal, and restores the time relief. Control is performed to transmit the number of times of working hour designation command to the effect control CPU 120 (step 131SGS0016).

In this way, the setting of the relief time reduction number counter is executed before the timer interrupt processing, which is the progress processing of the game, is executed, so that the variable display is not started before the relief time reduction number counter is set. Therefore, it is possible to reliably manage the number of times until relief time is shortened.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the RAM clear processing is executed at the time of turning on the power to the game machine, the case of initial setting is set to "900" in the relief time reduction counter. Not limited to this, the configuration may be such that the initial setting of the relief time reduction number counter is not performed when the RAM clear processing is executed. With such a configuration, the game can be started from the continuation of the value of the relief time reduction number counter of the previous day, so that the investment amount until the relief time reduction can be reduced and the player is not disadvantaged. be able to.

Further, in the case of the above configuration, only when the ON of the clear switch is detected (step S3; Yes) and the RAM clearing process is executed, the initial setting of the relief time reduction counter is not performed, and the RAM When an abnormality is detected (steps S4 and S5; No) and the RAM clearing process is executed, it may be configured to perform initial setting of the relief time reduction number counter.

[Time saving flag, variable probability flag]
In the present embodiment, the time saving flag can be set when any one of the conditions for being controlled to the time saving state is satisfied. The time saving flags include a time saving flag A and a time saving flag B. In the following description, erasing (or clearing) the flag may be referred to as resetting the flag.

The time saving flag A is set when it is controlled to the time saving state A via the big win A, the big win B, and the big win C. This time-saving flag A is set when the big hit game state of the big hit A ends, and when the time-saving state A ends (when the big hit occurs during the time-saving state A, 110 times of time-saving control ends and the normal state controlled timing).

The time saving flag B is set when it is controlled to the time saving state B controlled via the relief time saving. This time-saving flag B is when variable display is executed 900 times in which the display result does not become a big hit pattern after the RAM is cleared, or when the display result does not become a big win pattern in a low probability state after the end of the big win game state. is executed, and when the time-saving state B ends (the timing of the big hit during the time-saving state B, the timing of the time-saving control ending 1100 times and being controlled to the normal state, etc.) .

The variable probability flag is set when the variable probability state is controlled. In this embodiment, when V is won in the first round of the big win game, when the big win game ends, the game state is controlled to the variable probability state, and a variable probability flag is set. This variable probability flag is erased at the timing when the variable probability state ends (the timing when the variable probability state becomes a big hit, the timing when the variable probability control is executed for the 110th time and the timing is controlled to the normal state, etc.). For example, the variable probability flag is erased based on the 110th time since the variable display is controlled to the variable probability state when step 131SGS69A in FIG. 11-20 described later is YES.

[Special symbol normal processing]
FIGS. 11-19 and 11-20 are flowcharts showing special symbol normal processing (step S110) in special symbol process processing. In the special symbol normal process, the CPU 103 confirms the value of the total pending memory number (step 131SGS51). Specifically, the count value of the combined reserved storage number counter for counting the total number of the first reserved storage number and the second reserved storage number is confirmed. If the total reserved storage number is not 0, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the second reserved storage number is 0 (step 131SGS52). Specifically, it confirms whether or not the value of the second reserved storage number counter for counting the second reserved storage number is zero. If the second reserved memory number is not 0, the CPU 103 is a special symbol pointer (a flag indicating whether special symbol process processing is being performed for the first special symbol or special symbol process processing is being performed for the second special symbol). is set with data indicating "second" (step 131SGS53). If the second reserved memory number is 0 (that is, if only the first reserved memory number is accumulated), the CPU 103 sets data indicating "first" to the special symbol pointer (step 131SGS54).

In this embodiment, by executing the processing of steps 131SGS52 to S54, the variable display of the second special symbol is preferentially executed with respect to the variable display of the first special symbol. In other words, the second start condition for starting the variable display of the second special symbol is controlled to take precedence over the first start condition for starting the variable display of the first special symbol.

In addition, not limited to the aspect shown in the present embodiment, for example, the variable display of the first special symbol and the variable display of the second special symbol are executed in the order in which the game ball wins the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening It may be configured to

Next, the CPU 103 reads out each random number stored in the storage area corresponding to the reserved memory number=1 indicated by the special symbol pointer in the RAM 102 and stores it in the random number buffer area of the RAM 102 (step 131SGS55). Specifically, when the special symbol pointer indicates "first", the CPU 103 stores each random random A numerical value is read out and stored in the random number buffer area of the RAM 102 . In addition, when the special symbol pointer indicates "second", the CPU 103 reads each random value stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number=1 in the second reserved memory number buffer. is stored in the random number buffer area of the RAM 102.

Then, the CPU 103 subtracts 1 from the count value of the reserved storage number counter indicated by the special symbol pointer, and shifts the contents of each storage area (step 131SGS56). Specifically, when the special symbol pointer indicates "first", the CPU 103 subtracts 1 from the count value of the first reserved storage number counter, and each storage area in the first reserved storage number buffer shift the contents of Also, when the special symbol pointer indicates "second", 1 is subtracted from the count value of the second reserved memory number counter, and the contents of each save area in the second reserved memory number buffer are shifted.

That is, when the special symbol pointer indicates "first", the CPU 103 stores the storage area corresponding to the first reserved memory number=n (n=2, 3, 4) in the first reserved memory number buffer of the RAM 102. , is stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number=n-1. Also, when the special symbol pointer indicates "second", stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number = n (n = 2, 3, 4) in the second reserved memory number buffer of the RAM 102 Each random value is stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number=n−1.

Therefore, the order in which each random value stored in each storage area corresponding to each first reserved memory number (or each second reserved memory number) is extracted is always the first reserved memory number (or Second reserved storage number)=1, 2, 3, 4.

Then, the CPU 103 decrements the value of the total pending storage number by one. That is, 1 is subtracted from the count value of the total pending storage number counter (step 131SGS57). Note that the CPU 103 saves the value of the total pending storage number counter before the count value is decremented by 1 in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 .

Next, the CPU 103 reads the random number for winning determination from the random number buffer area (step 131SGS61), and executes the big winning determination module (step 131SGS62). In this case, the CPU 103 reads the hit determination random number extracted in the starting prize determination process (step S101) and stored in advance in the first and second reserve storage buffers, and performs the jackpot determination. The jackpot determination module is a program that compares a predetermined jackpot determination value with a hit determination random number, and executes a process of determining a jackpot if they match. That is, it is a program for executing the process of judging a big hit. In this case, if the variable probability flag indicating the variable probability state is not set (if it is in a low probability state), the CPU 103 uses the low probability jackpot determination value to perform the big hit determination. Further, if the variable probability flag is set (if the probability is high), the CPU 103 uses the high-probability big-hit determination value to perform the big-hit determination. The CPU 103 determines that the special symbol will be a big hit when the value of the hit determination random number matches one of the big hit determination values.

If it is determined to be a jackpot (step 131SGS63; Yes), the CPU 103 sets a jackpot flag indicating a jackpot (step 131SGS64). The type (jackpot A, jackpot B, jackpot C) corresponding to the value matching the random number is determined as the jackpot type (step 131SGS65). In this case, the CPU 103 reads out the random number for type determination extracted in the starting prize determination process (step S101) and stored in advance in the first reserve memory buffer or the second reserve memory buffer, and determines the jackpot type. Then, the process proceeds to step 131SGS70. On the other hand, if it is not determined to be a big hit (step 131SGS63; No), the process proceeds to step 131SGS66.

In this embodiment, by performing the special symbol normal processing, the relief time reduction condition for controlling the relief time reduction regardless of the variable display result (big hit, loss) (subtract the value of the relief time reduction counter to "0" It is a configuration that can occur. In this embodiment, the time-saving state A is entered based on the big hit A, and the next big hit does not occur even if the variable display is completed a predetermined number of times (900 times in this embodiment). Although it is controlled to the time saving state B, it is assumed that the variable display result of the variable display in which the relief time saving condition is established becomes a big hit. Therefore, when the variable display result of the variable display in which the relief time saving condition is established becomes a big hit, it is configured to control to the time saving state A based on the big win.

Next, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the value of the time saving number counter for counting the number of times the variable display is executed during the time saving state is 0 (step 131SGS66). If the value of the time saving number counter is not 0, the CPU 103 subtracts 1 from the value of the time saving number counter (step 131SGS67), and confirms whether or not the value of the time saving number counter after the subtraction is 0 (step 131SGS68). ). If the value of the time saving number counter after the subtraction is 0, the CPU 103 sets a time saving end flag indicating that the time saving state is ended when the variable display ends (step 131SGS69).

In addition, in the present embodiment, steps 131SGS66 to 131SGSS69 are executed before the counting process of the number of times of variable display until the relief time saving after step 131SGS71 to perform the subtraction process of the time saving number counter. The processing mode is not limited. For example, after executing the counting process of the number of times of variable display until the relief time saving in step 131SGS71 and thereafter, the subtraction process of the time saving number counter may be executed. In this case, for example, if it is a variable display that will be a relief time saving, if the subtraction process is executed after setting "110" to the time saving number counter (see step 131 SGS172), the value of the time saving number counter will be 1 extra Since the value is subtracted, the value of the time saving number counter may be incremented again by 1 after the subtraction process in the variable display for saving time. Moreover, you may comprise so that "111" more than 1 may be set to the number-of-hours-saving counter beforehand.

Next, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the variable probability flag is set (step 131SGS69A). If the variable probability flag is set (that is, if the variable probability state), the process proceeds to step 131SGS84. In this embodiment, by executing the process of step 131SGS69A, when it is in the variable probability state, the processing after step 131SGS70 (especially the processing of step 131SGSS71) is not performed, so when the gaming state is the variable probability state Even if the variable display is executed (in this embodiment, during pole/battle rush), the value of the relief time reduction number counter is not subtracted. If the variable probability flag is not set (that is, if it is in the non-variable probability state), the process proceeds to step 131SGSS70.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the probability variation flag is set, the processing after step 131SGSS70 is not executed, and the process proceeds to step 131SGS84, but not limited to such a form, the probability variation flag If set, the process proceeds to step 131SGSS70, but the process of step 131SGSS71 may not be executed. That is, although the value of the relief time-saving number counter is not updated, the relief time-saving number designation command or the relief time-saving number 2 designation command corresponding to the value of the relief time-saving number counter that has not been updated may be transmitted.

Next, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the value of the relief time reduction number counter is 0 (step 131SGS70; Yes). When the value of the relief time reduction number counter is 0 (step 131SGS70; Yes), the process proceeds to step 131SGS84. If the value of the relief time-saving counter is 0 at this point, the timing after it has already been controlled to the time-saving state (time-saving state B) via the relief time-saving (time-saving state B or time-saving state B The timing is controlled to the normal state after 1100 fluctuations in ), and the big hit that triggers 900 to be set to the relief time reduction number counter has not occurred. Further, when the value of the relief time reduction number counter is not 0 (step 131SGS70; No), the value of the relief time reduction number counter is subtracted by 1 (step 131SGS71). In addition, in this embodiment, by executing the process of step 131SGS71, it is related to whether the variable display of the first special symbol is executed or the variable display of the second special symbol is executed. Instead, the value of the relief time reduction counter is uniformly updated.

Next, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the value of the relief time reduction number counter after the subtraction is 127 or more (step 131SGS72). If the value of the relief time-saving counter after subtraction is 126 or less (step 131 SGS72; No), the CPU 103 sets a value corresponding to the value of the relief time-saving counter to the EXT data, and produces a relief time-saving number designation command. Control for transmission to the control CPU 120 is performed (step 131SGS73). For example, when the value of the relief time-saving number counter is 1, the CPU 103 performs control to transmit a command 9401H as a relief time-saving number designation command. Further, when the value of the relief time-saving number counter is 126, the CPU 103 performs control to transmit a command 947EH as a relief time-saving number designation command.

Next, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the value of the relief time reduction number counter after the subtraction is 0 (step 131SGS74). If the value of the relief time reduction number counter after the subtraction is not 0, the process proceeds to step 131SGS84. If the value of the relief time reduction number counter after the subtraction is 0, the CPU 103 sets a relief time reduction determination flag indicating control to the time reduction state B at the end of fluctuation based on the occurrence of the relief time reduction (step 131 SGS75 ). Then, the process proceeds to step 131SGS84.

On the other hand, if the value of the relief time reduction counter after subtraction is 127 or more (step 131SGS72; Yes), the CPU 103 uniformly sets 7FH as the EXT data, and outputs the command 957FH as the relief time reduction number designation command for effect control. Control for transmission to the CPU 120 is performed (step 131SGS76). Next, the CPU 103 determines that the number of times the remaining variable display times until the relief time reduction is in units of 100 times (in this embodiment, 100 times, 200 times, 300 times, 400 times, 500 times, 600 times, 700 times, or 800 times ) (step 131SGS77). Whether or not the number of variable display times remaining until the relief time saving is in units of 100 can be determined by confirming the value of the relief time saving number counter. If the number of variable display times remaining until the relief time reduction is in units of 100, the CPU 103 sets a value corresponding to the value of the relief time reduction counter to the EXT data, and produces a relief time reduction number 2 designation command. Control for transmission to the control CPU 120 is performed (step 131SGS78). For example, when the value of the relief time-saving frequency counter is 100, the CPU 103 performs control to transmit a command 9601H as a relief time-saving frequency 2 designation command. Further, when the value of the relief time-saving number counter is 800, the CPU 103 performs control to transmit a command 9608H as a relief time-saving number 2 designation command. Then, the process proceeds to step 131SGS84.

In this embodiment, the game control microcomputer 100 (specifically, the CPU 103) counts the number of remaining variable display times until the relief time reduction, and transmits a relief time reduction number designation command or a relief time reduction number 2 designation command. Although a case is shown, it is not limited to such an aspect. For example, the effect control CPU 120 side may be configured to count the number of remaining variable display times until relief time saving and execute the later-described fanning effect or countdown effect.

Also, for example, when the relief time reduction counter is set (set to "900") at the timing of the relief time reduction, and the relief time reduction is configured to occur continuously, only when the relief time reduction occurs for the first time It is configured to transmit a relief time-saving number designation command and a relief time-saving number of times 2 designation command, and when the relief time becomes short after the second time, it is configured not to transmit the relief time-saving number designation command and the relief time-saving number of times 2 designation command. Also good.

Next, the CPU 103 determines the stop symbol of the special symbol according to the determination result of the jackpot type (step 131SGS84). In this case, for example, when it is determined to be a big win A, the special symbol stop pattern is determined to be "2", and when it is determined to be a big win B, the special symbol stop symbol is "3". When it is determined to be a big hit C, the stop pattern of the special design is determined to be ``7'', and when it is determined to be a loss, the stop design of the special design is determined to be ``-''. Further, the CPU 103 stores the determined special symbol stop symbol in the stop symbol storage area provided in the RAM 102 (step 131SGS85).

Then, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the variation pattern setting process (step S111) (step 131SGS86).

[Special symbol stop processing]
FIG. 11-21 is a flow chart showing special symbol stop processing (step S113) in special symbol process processing. In the special symbol stop processing, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the symbol fixing period timer is in operation (step 131SGS131). When the symbol fixation period timer is not in operation, the stop symbol of the special symbol is derived and displayed (step 131SGS132). Then, it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is set (step 131SGS133).

When the jackpot flag is set, the game state flags such as the time saving A flag, the time saving B flag, and the probability variation flag are cleared (step 131 SGS134), the time saving number counter is cleared (step 131 SGS135), and the number of times of the time saving is cleared (step 131 SGS135). The transmission setting of the jackpot start designation command is performed, and the process proceeds to step 131SGS147 (step 131SGS136). In addition, the big hit start designation|designated command by which transmission setting was carried out is transmitted with respect to the production|presentation control board 12 by CPU103 performing command control processing (refer FIG. 5).

Moreover, when the jackpot flag is not set in step 131SGS133, CPU103 determines whether the relief time reduction determination flag is set (step 131SGS140). If the relief time reduction determination flag is not set, the process proceeds to step 131SGS147. When the relief working hours determination flag is set, the relief working hours determination flag is cleared, and the working hours saving B flag indicating that it is the working hours saving state B is set (step 131SGS141, step 131SGS142). Furthermore, while setting 1100 corresponding to the time saving state B (relief time saving) to the time saving number counter, transmission setting of the time saving state B designation command is performed (step 131SGS143, step 131SGS144). In addition, the time saving state B specification command set to be transmitted is transmitted to the effect control board 12 by the CPU 103 executing the command control process (see FIG. 5).

In addition, the lighting of the right-handed lamp 131SG132 is started, and transmission setting of the right-handed LED lighting notification command is performed (step 131SGS145, step 131SGS146). In addition, the right hitting LED lighting notification command set for transmission is transmitted to the effect control board 12 by the CPU 103 executing the command control process (see FIG. 5).

Then, a value corresponding to 0.5 seconds, which is the symbol determination period, is set in the symbol determination period timer, and transmission setting of the symbol determination designation command is performed, and the process proceeds to step 131SGS149 (step 131SGS147, step 131SGS148). It should be noted that the symbol determination designation command set for transmission is transmitted to the effect control board 12 by the CPU 103 executing the command control process (see FIG. 5).

In step 131SGS149, the CPU 103 performs transmission setting of the game state designation command according to the game state, and ends the special symbol stop processing. In addition, the game state designation command set for transmission is transmitted to the effect control board 12 by the CPU 103 executing command control processing (see FIG. 5).

Then, in step 131SGS131, when the pattern fixing period timer is in operation, the CPU 103 decrements the value of the pattern fixing period timer by 1 (step 131SGS150), and determines whether or not the pattern fixing period timer has timed out ( Step 131SGS151). When the symbol fixing period timer has not timed out, the special symbol stopping process is terminated, and when the pattern fixing engine timer has timed out, it is determined whether or not the derived stopped symbol is a lost symbol (step 131SGS152). . When the derived stop symbol is a winning symbol, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special symbol normal processing, and the special symbol stop processing is terminated (step 131 SGS153), and the derived stop symbol is a jackpot symbol. If so, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit opening pre-process, and the special symbol stop process is terminated (step 131SGS154).

[state change]
Next, state transitions in this embodiment will be described. 11-22 are state transition diagrams for explaining state transitions in this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 11-22, in the normal state (low probability/low base state), when a big hit B occurs and the game ball passes through the probability variable region (V switch 131SG023B1), it is controlled to the probability variable state, and the big hit When A occurs, it is controlled to the time-saving state A (time-saving state via big hit (low probability/high base state)). In addition, although not shown, even when the big hit B occurs and the game ball does not pass through the variable probability region (V switch 131SG023B1), it is controlled to the time saving state A (time saving state via the big hit). Also, even if it is lost, if the relief time is reduced (after RAM clear processing or the end of the probability variable state, the number of variable display times reaches 900 times without the occurrence of the next big hit, or the time reduction state After the end of 110 variable displays in A, if the number of variable displays reaches 790 times without the occurrence of the next big hit), time-saving state B (time-saving state via relief time-saving (low accuracy / high base state) ).

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-22, in the variable probability state (high probability/high base state), when either the big hit B or the big hit C occurs and the game ball passes through the variable probability region, the variable probability state is entered again. controlled. Although not shown, when either the big hit B or the big hit C occurs and the game ball does not pass through the variable probability area, the time saving state A (time saving state via the big hit) is controlled.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11-22, in the time saving state A (low probability / high base state), when either the big hit B or the big hit C occurs and the game ball passes through the probability variable region, the probability variable state controlled. Although not shown, when either the big hit B or the big hit C occurs and the game ball does not pass through the variable probability area, the time saving state A (time saving state via the big hit) is again controlled. Further, in the time-saving state A, when the variable display is completed 110 times without the occurrence of a big hit, the state is controlled to the normal state.

Also, as shown in FIG. 11-22, in the time saving state B (low probability / high base state), when either the big hit B or the big hit C occurs and the game ball passes through the probability variable region, the probability variable state controlled. Although not shown, when either the big hit B or the big hit C occurs and the game ball does not pass through the variable probability area, the time saving state A (time saving state via the big hit) is again controlled. Further, in the time-saving state B, when the variable display is completed 1100 times without occurrence of a big hit, the state is controlled to the normal state. Furthermore, even if it is lost, if the relief time is reduced (after the RAM clear process or the probability change state ends, the variable display count reaches 900 times without the next big hit occurring, or if the time is reduced) When the number of times of variable display reaches 790 times without occurrence of the next big hit after completion of 110 times of variable display in state A), control is made to time saving state B (time saving state via relief time saving).

In addition, in this embodiment, when a big hit occurs during the time saving state B and the game ball does not enter the variable probability area, the case is uniformly shifted to the time saving state A. In such a control mode, I can't limit it. For example, the remaining number of times of the current time saving number and the time saving number of times (in this embodiment, 110 times) corresponding to the case where the game ball does not enter the probability variable area (V switch 131SG023B1) are compared, and the current time saving number of times If the remaining number of times is larger, the present time saving state B may be continued as it is.

In addition, in this embodiment, although it is possible to execute the variable display of the first special symbol during the time saving state and the probability changing state, it is a disadvantageous game for the player, so during the time saving state and the probability change state The state transition is explained without assuming that the variable display of the first special symbol is executed.

[Production control process processing/pre-reading notice]
As shown in FIGS. 11-23 and 11-24, in the pre-reading notice setting process of the present embodiment, the timing at which the start winning is generated (holding storage in the start winning command buffer shown in FIG. 11-15 (B) By setting the pending display flag to any of 0 to 2 at the timing when the starting entrance winning designation command, symbol designation command, variable category command, and pending memory number notification command are newly stored), active display or pending display is determined, and the ratio of control to the big hit game state can be suggested by the display modes of the active display and the pending display.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11-24, when the variable display result indicated by the symbol designation command is "missing" and the variation category indicated by the variation category command is "non-reach", the pre-reading notice is not executed ( The value of the pending display flag is set to "0") is determined at a rate of 95%, and the execution of the pre-reading notice with the production pattern α (the value of the pending display flag is set to "1") is 5%. , and execution of the pre-reading notice in the effect pattern β (set the value of the pending display flag to "2") is determined at a rate of 0%.

Also, if the variable display result indicated by the symbol designation command is "missing" and the variation category indicated by the variation category command is "other (normal reach)", the pre-reading notice is not executed (the value of the pending display flag is set to " 0") is determined at a rate of 90%, execution of the pre-reading notice with the production pattern α (setting the value of the pending display flag to "1") is determined at a rate of 10%, and pre-reading Execution of the notice in the performance pattern β (setting the value of the pending display flag to "2") is determined at a rate of 0%.

In addition, when the variable display result indicated by the symbol designation command is "miss" and the variation category indicated by the variation category command is "super reach", the pre-reading notice is not executed (the value of the pending display flag is set to "0" ) is determined at a rate of 70%, execution of the pre-reading notice with the production pattern α (setting the value of the pending display flag to "1") is determined at a rate of 20%, and pre-reading notice Execution in the effect pattern β (setting the value of the pending display flag to "2") is determined at a rate of 10%.

In addition, when the variable display result indicated by the pattern designation command is "big hit", non-execution of pre-reading notice (setting the value of the pending display flag to "0") is determined at a rate of 5%, and pre-reading notice is executed in the effect pattern α (set the value of the pending display flag to “1”) at a rate of 30%, and the pre-reading notice is executed in the effect pattern β (the value of the pending display flag is set to “2” ) at a rate of 65%.

In addition, after the execution of the pre-reading notice setting process, the pending display/active display update process (131SGS162), the remaining number of relief time reduction etc. display update process (step 131SGS163), the relief time reduction arrival notification effect execution process (step 131SGS164) are executed. do. In the pending display/active display update processing, the processing of starting the display of the pending display or the active display in a display mode according to the value of the pending display flag, and erasing the active display from the active display area 131SG005F at the end timing of the variable display. Processing, processing of hiding or starting to display the pending display or the active display according to the progress of the effect during the variable display is executed. In the relief time-saving arrival remaining number display update process, the value of the relief time-saving arrival remaining number display 131SG005Z (see FIG. 11-1) displayed on the image display device 5 is reduced every time the variable display is started. A process of hiding or starting to display the relief time reduction reach remaining number display 131SG005Z is executed according to the progress of the production in the middle. In the relief time-saving arrival notification effect execution processing, from the end timing of the variable display when the number of variable displays reaches 900 times, the processing for executing the relief time-saving arrival notification effect for notifying that the control is made to the time-saving state B is executed. .

[Variable display start setting process]
11-25 is a flowchart showing an example of the variable display start setting process shown in FIG. 11. FIG. In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variable display start command reception flag is set (step 131SGS601). When the first variable display start command reception flag is set, various command data stored in correspondence with the buffer number "1-1" in the start winning reception command buffer 131SG194A is copied to the active display buffer 131SG194B. (131SGS602). In addition, the first special figure reservation storage (various command data stored in association with buffer numbers "1-1" to "1-4") in the start winning reception command buffer 131SG194A is shifted one by one. (Step 131 SGS603). At this time, the various command data stored in the buffer number "1-1" are erased because there is no shift destination.

In step 131SGS601, if the first variable display start command reception flag is not ON, it is determined whether or not the second variable display start command reception flag is set (step 131SGS604). When the second variable display start command reception flag is set, various command data stored in correspondence with the buffer number "2-1" in the start winning reception command buffer 131SG194A is copied to the active display buffer 131SG194B. (131SGS605). In addition, the second special figure reservation storage (various command data stored in association with buffer numbers "2-1" to "2-4") in the start winning reception command buffer 131SG194A is shifted one by one. (Step 131 SGS 606). At this time, the various command data stored in the buffer number "2-1" are erased because there is no shift destination.

In addition, when the second special figure variable display start command reception flag is not ON, the variable display start setting process is terminated.

After executing step 131SGS603 or step 131SGS6060, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (step 131SGS607). Further, the stop pattern of the decoration pattern is determined according to the read variation pattern designation command and the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (step 131SGS608).

For example, as shown in FIG. 11-26, when the variable display result is "missing" and the variation pattern is non-reach (non-reaching loss), the stop pattern is 100% "124" or "578 , etc. (non-reach mode, non-reach out-of-range mode). Also, if the variable display result is "missing" and the variation pattern is normal reach (normal reach missing), 95% of the stop symbols are combined with even numbers such as "242" and "676" ( Determined as even number reach mode, even number reach out mode), and at a rate of 5% Determined as a combination of odd numbers other than 7 such as "131" and "545" (odd number reach mode, odd number reach out mode) do.

Also, if the variable display result is "miss" and the variation pattern is super reach (super reach lost), the stop pattern will be 80% of the even number "reach" such as "242" or "676" Determine the combination (even number reach mode, even number reach out mode), and at a rate of 19%, "131" or "545" etc. Other than 7 "Reach" combination (odd number reach mode, odd number reach out mode) , and at a rate of 1%, it is determined to be a combination of "reach" in 7 patterns such as "767" and "787" ("7" reach mode, "7" reach loss mode).

Then, when the variable display result is "big hit", the stop pattern is determined to be a combination of even numbers of "reach" such as "222" and "666" (even number reach mode, even number reach jackpot mode) at a rate of 20%. Then, at a rate of 50%, the combination of "reach" with an odd number other than 7 such as "111" and "555" (odd reach mode, odd reach jackpot mode) is determined, and at a rate of 30% "777" A combination of "reach" in 7 patterns ("7" reach mode, "7" reach jackpot mode) is determined.

In other words, when the decorative pattern is "7" pattern, the probability of hitting the jackpot is the highest. It is set so that the degree of expectation of a big hit decreases in order (expectation of a big hit by decorative patterns: reach with "7" pattern > reach with odd numbered patterns other than "7" > reach with even number > no reach). Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not the decoration pattern is in a ready-to-win state, and to which pattern to achieve a ready-to-win state.

In addition, in this embodiment, there is illustrated a form in which the degree of expectation for a big hit differs depending on whether the combination of even numbers of decorative patterns results in a reach or the combination of an odd number of decorative patterns results in a reach, but the present invention is not limited to this. The expectation level of the big hit may be the same regardless of the combination of the decoration patterns, and the expectation level of the big hit when the reach is achieved according to the size of the numbers indicated by the decoration patterns. may be different.

Returning to FIG. 11-25, the effect control CPU 120 after determining the stop pattern of the decorative pattern determines whether or not to execute the notice effect during variable display suggesting the possibility that the result of variable display will be a big hit during variable display. is executed (step 131SGS609).

After that, the effect control CPU 120 selects a process table (effect control pattern) according to the variation pattern, the game state, the result of the variable display, and the determination result of the notice effect determination process during variable display (step 131 SGS610), and starts the process timer. Start (step 131SGS611).

A production control pattern is set in each process table. Specifically, display control execution data for controlling the display of the image display device 5, lamp control execution data for controlling lighting of each LED, and sound control for controlling sounds output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Execution data, operation unit control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B and stick controller 31A, etc. are arranged in chronological order in association with each process data n (numbers 1 to N).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 controls the effect device (image display as a component for effect) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1). The device 5, various lamps as performance parts, speakers 8L and 8R as performance parts, and operation units (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) are controlled (131SGS612). For example, a command is output to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image corresponding to the variation pattern on the image display device 5 . It also outputs a control signal (lamp control execution data) to the lamp control board 14 in order to control lighting/extinguishing of various lamps. Also, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the audio control board 13 in order to output audio from the speakers 8L and 8R.

In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 controls so that the decorative pattern is displayed variably according to the variation pattern corresponding to the variation pattern designation command one-to-one. A variation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of variation patterns corresponding to commands.

Then, a variable display time timer is set to a value corresponding to the variable display time specified by the variation pattern specification command (131SGS613). Also, a predetermined time is set in the variable display control timer (131SGS614). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 writes image data indicating the display state of the left, middle, and right decorative patterns to the VRAM every time the predetermined time elapses. A signal corresponding to the image data obtained is output to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the signal, thereby realizing variable display of the decoration pattern. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the effect process during variable display (S172) (131SGS615).

Incidentally, in the effect processing during variable display, the values of the process timer, variable display time timer, and variable display control timer are each decremented by one. Then, the effect device is controlled according to the value of the process timer, the variable display of the decorative pattern is realized as described above according to the value of the variable display control timer, and the decorative pattern is realized according to the value of the variable display time timer. Stop the variable display and set the value of the effect control process flag to a value corresponding to the special figure per waiting process (S173).

[Regarding effects during variable display]
When the effect control CPU 120 receives the first variable display start command or the second variable display start command designating the start of variable display in the variable display start waiting process of step S170, the variable display start setting of subsequent step S171 is performed. Based on the variable display results such as the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern specification command in the process, the special pattern and the decoration pattern specified by the variable display result specification command, the display result of the variable display of the decoration pattern (fixed decoration pattern), The mode of variable display of decorative patterns, the presence or absence of execution of ready-to-win performance, its mode, the execution start timing, etc. are determined, the performance control pattern reflecting the determination result etc. is set, and based on the set performance control pattern, decoration is performed.

The title is kept displayed at the fixed position for a predetermined period of time, during which the title is output from the speakers 8L and 8R as shown in FIG. 11-37. Next, as shown in FIGS. 11-36 (c5) to (c6), below the title characters "Two people catch Bakuchu!" Display the expectation indication. As shown in FIG. 11-37, the title display period of the low base strong reach A effect is executed over a longer time than the title start period of the low base strong reach A effect (see FIGS. 11-47 and 11-48). ).

After the end of the title display period, the effect control CPU 120 shifts to the display of the title end period. In the title end period of the low base strong reach A production, as shown in FIGS. to the right side of the display area until all the title characters disappear. In addition, the title character and the expectation indication display are moved to the right side of the display area until all disappear. As shown in FIG. 11-37, the title end period of the low base strong reach A effect ends in a shorter time than the title start period and title display period of the low base strong reach A effect (FIGS. 11-47 and 11 -48). In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-37, in the title display part of the low base strong reach A production, the caption of the dialogue is not displayed like the low base weak reach A production and the low base weak reach B production, and the speaker 8L, The voice of the dialogue is not output from 8R.

After the end of the title end period, the effect control CPU 120 starts the introduction part of the low base strong reach A effect. As shown in FIGS. 11-36 (c3) to (c8), the background at the start of the introduction part of the low-base strong reach A production is the background after the title start period in the title display part (the friendly character "Mume" in the corridor) and the background where "Jam" is displayed), and the scene of the video that started from the title display part (the scene where the allied characters "Muyume" and "Jam" are displayed in the corridor) continues throughout the introduction part. do. Also, as shown in FIGS. 11-36(c8) and 11-37, after the start of the introductory part, the enemy character "Bakuchu" appears, and the dialogue corresponding to the scene in which the enemy character "Bakuchu" appears A caption "Catch it if you can!" is displayed, and the voice of the words displayed in the caption is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

In this way, in the low base strong reach A production, while the title display part outputs the voice reading out the title from the speakers 8L and 8R, subtitles of the dialogue according to the scene of the title display part are not displayed, and the speakers 8L and 8R The sound of the dialogue corresponding to the scene of the title display part is also not output, and after the introductory part starts, the subtitle of the dialogue corresponding to the scene of the introductory part is displayed, and the scene of the introductory part is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. The voice of the dialogue corresponding to the is output.

The effect control CPU 120, when a variation pattern that becomes a big hit after a low base strong super reach A is specified by a variation pattern specification command, the ally characters "Muyume" and "Jam" are the enemy characters at the end of the introductory part. Catch the ``Bakuchu'', notify the effect result of the effect of the low base strong reach A effect to the effect that it is a big hit (to the effect that it is controlled to the big win game state), and then designate the variable display result to the image display device 5. A combination of decorative patterns (large) indicating the type of jackpot designated by the command is displayed. On the other hand, if a variation pattern is specified by the variation pattern specification command, after the low base strong super reach A, the reach is lost, at the end of the introduction part, the friendly characters “Mume” and “Jam” will be the enemy character “Bakuchu”. ' is not caught, and as the result of the low-base strong reach A performance, a performance result indicating that it is not a big hit is reported, and then the image display device 5 is notified of the reach specified by the variable display result specification command. Display a combination of decorative patterns (large) indicating .

[Regarding the indication of the expectation level of the low base strong reach A production]
In the title display part of the low base strong reach A production, the image display device 5 displays the title characters "Two people catch Bakuchu!" A hint is displayed. The expectation indication displayed in the title display part is, as shown in FIG. The degree of expectation is indicated by the number of star-shaped objects whose color changes from black to gold among the five star-shaped objects. be.

In the normal state in which the low base strong reach A effect is executed, the image display device 5 may display an object indicating the pending number and an object indicating active display. On the other hand, since the expectation indication displayed in the title display part also suggests the expectation by a plurality of objects, the pending indication, the active indication, and the expectation indication indication are displayed at the same time in the title display part. In this case, there is a possibility that objects forming the pending display and the active display may be misidentified as objects of the expectation level suggestive display. For this reason, in the title display part of the low base strong reach A production where the expectation indication is displayed, the suspension indication and active indication are configured by not displaying the suspension indication and active indication at the same time as the expectation indication indication. This prevents the object to be misidentified as the object of the expectation indication display.

In addition, in the normal state, the game ball almost never enters the second start winning opening, so when the number of reservations of the first special figure is the maximum (4) and during variable display, the reservation display and active display A maximum of 5 objects may be displayed as , and it will match the number of objects indicating that the expectation is the maximum in the expectation indication display, but the title display part of the low base strong reach A production However, since the pending display and active display are not displayed at the same time as the expectation suggestive display, even if the low base strong reach A effect is executed in a situation where a maximum of 5 objects are displayed as the pending display and active display, It is possible to prevent the object displayed as the pending display and the active display from being confused with the object of the expectation level suggestive display and misunderstanding that the expectation level is the maximum in the expectation level suggestive display.

In the example shown in FIG. 11-36, the pending display and the active display are displayed during the prologue display period before the expectation indication display of the title display part is displayed, but the prologue display period starts. Sometimes, it may be possible to make the suspension display and the active display non-display, and even in such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the object constituting the suspension display and the active display from being misidentified as the object of the expectation level suggestive display.

Also, when executing the low base strong reach A effect, as shown in FIGS. , After displaying the friendly character "Muyume" on the layer in front of the reserved display and the active display, the allied character "Muyume" is enlarged until the display area is completely filled, and the allied character "Muyume" is enlarged. Since the suspended display and active display displayed before the display area is completely filled with the display are hidden after the prologue display period ends, the suspended display and active display can be hidden without discomfort. In the example shown in FIG. 11-36, the character is displayed on a layer in front of the pending display and the active display, and is displayed before the entire display area is filled by expanding the display until the entire display area is filled. It is a configuration in which the pending display and active display are hidden, but when executing the low base strong reach A effect, the entire display area is displayed in a single color such as white except for the reach mode decorative pattern (small) etc. Monochromatic To hide the reserved display and the active display without giving a sense of incongruity even in such a configuration, by executing the display presentation to erase the reserved display and the active display displayed before the single-color display presentation. can be done.

In the title display part of the low base strong reach A production, as shown in FIG. is maintained for a predetermined period of time, and then, as shown in FIGS. display. At this time, as shown in FIG. 11-36(c5), in the initial stage, the colors of the five star-shaped objects constituting the expectation suggestive display are all displayed in black. As shown in 36 (c6), by changing the color of the three star-shaped objects corresponding to the low-base strong reach A effect from black to gold among the five star-shaped objects, the low-base strong reach A effect is obtained. The expectation of the jackpot in is suggested.

When developing from a low base weak reach A effect or a low base weak reach B effect to a low base strong reach A effect, as shown in FIGS. Until the display area is completely filled by the enlarged display of "Dream Dream", if the number of reservations remains, the pending display and the active display are displayed, and in the subsequent title display part, the expectation level indication display is hidden. As shown in FIGS. !” At the same time, five star-shaped objects constituting the expectation suggestive display are displayed, and after that, when the color of the star-shaped objects is changed from black to gold, the objects constituting the pending display and the active display become non-existent. Objects forming the expectation suggestive display are displayed immediately after the display, and there is a possibility that the pending display and the active display may be confused with the expectation suggestive display. On the other hand, in the example shown in FIG. 11-36, after the expectation suggestive display is hidden in the prologue display period, the expectation suggestive display is hidden in the title display period, and the title characters "Two people Catch Bakuchu!" is displayed at a fixed position for a predetermined period of time, and after that, an expectation suggestive display is displayed below the title characters "Catch Bakuchu with two people!" Also, it is possible to prevent the active display and the expectation suggestive display from being confused.

[About low base strong reach B effect]
FIG. 11-39 is a diagram showing the transition of images displayed on the image display device 5 during execution of the low base strong reach B effect, and FIG. 11-40 shows the execution status of the low base strong reach B effect. It is a timing chart.

The effect control CPU 120 receives the first variable display start command or the second variable display start command in the normal state, and when the variation pattern corresponding to the low base strong super reach B is specified by the variation pattern specification command, the If the variation pattern develops from normal reach through low base weak super reach A or low base weak super reach B, after execution of normal reach production, low base weak reach A production or low base weak reach B production is executed. , Develop into low base strong reach B production. Further, when the variation pattern corresponding to the low base strong super reach B is specified by the variation pattern specification command, if the variation pattern is a variation pattern that develops directly from the normal reach, after the execution of the normal reach effect, the selection effect described later Execute and develop into a low base strong reach B effect.

When the performance control CPU 120 develops from the low-base weak reach A performance or the low-base weak reach B performance, the falling performance of dropping the movable body 32 is performed at the end of the low-base weak reach A performance or the low-base weak reach B performance. After execution, the title display part of the low base strong reach B effect is started. In the falling effect, as shown in FIG. 11-39 (d1), the display of the left and right decorative patterns (small) in the reach mode, the first reserved memory display area 131SG005D, the second reserved memory display area 131SG005U, and the active display area 131SG005F While maintaining the pending display and active display, after switching from the background at the end of the low base weak reach A effect or low base weak reach B effect to the background dedicated to the fall effect (background with a pattern spreading radially from the center), the movable body 32 is dropped, and then the movable body 32 is raised to the initial position.

In addition, when directly developing from normal reach, the effect control CPU 120 executes a selection effect described later, as shown in FIG. do. Details of the selection effect will be described later, but in the selection effect, the first reserved memory display area 131SG005D, the second reserved memory display area 131SG005U, and the active display area 131SG005F are hidden at the start of the selection effect.

As shown in FIG. 11-40, the title display part of the low-base strong reach B effect is the prologue display period before the title characters “Gekishin Robo Battle” of the low-base strong reach B effect are displayed, and the display of the image display device 5. The title start period from when a part of the title character "Gekishin Robo Battle" is displayed in the display area until it is displayed at the fixed position, the title display period when the title character "Gekishin Robo Battle" is displayed at the fixed position, and the fixed position Including the title end period until the display of the title character "Gekishin Robo Battle" that was displayed in the 1 disappears and it switches to the introduction part.

When shifting to the title display part of the low base strong reach B effect, the effect control CPU 120 first starts the display of the prologue display period.

In the prologue display period of the low-base strong reach B production that has been shifted from the fall production, the background dedicated to the fall production (background with a pattern radially spreading from the center), the display of the left and right decorative patterns (small) in the reach mode, and the first reserved memory While maintaining the suspended display and active display of the display area 131SG005D, the second suspended memory display area 131SG005U, and the active display area 131SG005F, the ally character "Muyume" is displayed as a background dedicated to the falling effect (background with patterns radially spreading from the center). , is displayed on a layer in front of the suspended display and the active display, and then the ally character "Mumu" is enlarged and displayed until the entire display area is filled.

Also, in the prologue display period of the low base strong reach B effect that has been transferred from the selection effect, the selection result image of the selection effect (here, the result image of the low base strong reach B effect), the left and right decorative patterns (small) of the reach mode While maintaining the display, the ally character ``Mumu'' is displayed on a layer in front of the selection result screen of the selection effect, and then the ally character ``Mumu'' is enlarged and displayed until the entire display area is filled.

After the end of the prologue display period, the effect control CPU 120 shifts to the title start period.

As shown in Figure 11-39 (d1) to (d3), during the prologue display period after transitioning from the fall effect, the display area is dedicated to the fall effect that was displayed before the entire display area was filled by the enlarged display of the ally character "Muyume". After the prologue display period ends, the background of the (background with a pattern that spreads radially from the center) is a background dedicated to the title display of the low base strong reach B production (ally characters "Jam" and "Nana" and enemy character "Robo" The background displayed on the left and right), and the pending display and active display that were displayed before the display area was completely filled by the enlarged display of the ally character "Muyume" will disappear after the prologue display period ends. . The display of the left and right decorative patterns (small) in the ready-to-win mode is maintained even after the prologue display period ends.

Also, although not shown, in the prologue display period after transition from the selection effect, the selection result image of the selection effect that was displayed before the display area was completely filled by the enlarged display of the ally character "Muyume" is displayed at the end of the prologue display period. After that, the background is switched to a title display-dedicated background of low-base strong reach B effect (background in which friend characters "Jam" and "Nana" and enemy character "Robo" are displayed at left and right positions). The display of the left and right decoration patterns (small) of the ready-to-win mode is maintained even after the prologue display period ends, and the suspension display and active display which were hidden in the selection effect are maintained as non-display.

In the title start period of the low base strong reach B effect, as shown in Fig. 11-39 (d3) to (d4), a part of the title character "Gekishin Robo Battle" is displayed from the left side of the display area, and the left and right decorations of the reach mode The decoration pattern (small) on the left side of the patterns (small) is superimposed, and then the entire title character ``Gekishin Robo Battle'' is moved toward a fixed position and stopped at the fixed position. In the state where the title character "Gekishin Robo Battle" is stationary at a fixed position, a part of the title character "Gekishin Robo Battle" is displayed in a mode overlapping both the left and right decoration patterns (small) of the reach mode.

As the left and right decorative patterns (small) of the reach mode, one of the numbers "1" to "9" ("2" in the figure) will be displayed, but the title of the low base strong reach B production During the start period, even if the left and right decorative patterns (small) of the reach mode are any of the numbers "1" to "9", part of the title characters "Gekishin Robo Battle" will be displayed in the left and right decorative patterns (small) of the reach mode. ), and when the title character ``Gekishin Robo Battle'' is stationary at a fixed position, part of the title character ``Gekishin Robo Battle'' appears on the left and right decorations in reach mode. It is displayed in a manner overlapping with both of the patterns (small).

The effect control CPU 120 causes the title characters "Gekishin Robo Battle" to be displayed at a fixed position during the title start period, and then shifts the display to the title display period. In the title display period of the low base strong reach B effect, first, as shown in FIG. This state is maintained for a predetermined time, during which the title is output from the speakers 8L and 8R as shown in FIG. 11-40. Next, as shown in FIGS. 11-39(d5) to (d6), an expectation suggestive display is displayed below the title characters "Gekishin Robo Battle" in a size smaller than the title characters "Gekishin Robo Battle". As shown in FIG. 11-40, the title display period of the low base strong reach B effect is executed over a longer time than the title start period of the low base strong reach B effect (see FIGS. 11-47 and 11-48). ).

After the end of the title display period, the effect control CPU 120 shifts to the display of the title end period. In the title end period of the low base strong reach B effect, as shown in Fig. 11-39 (d6) to (d7), the title characters "Gekishin Robo Battle" displayed at the fixed position are moved from the fixed position to the right side of the display area. Move until all the title characters disappear. In addition, the title character and the expectation indication display are moved to the right side of the display area until all disappear. As shown in FIG. 11-40, the title end period of the low base strong reach B effect ends in a shorter time than the title start period and title display period of the low base strong reach B effect (FIGS. 11-47 and 11 -48). In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-40, in the title display part of the low base strong reach B production, subtitles of dialogue are not displayed unlike the low base weak reach A production and the low base weak reach B production, and the speaker 8L, 8R does not output the voice of the dialogue.

After the end of the title end period, the effect control CPU 120 starts the introduction part of the low base strong reach B effect. As shown in FIGS. 11-39 (d3) to (d8), the background at the start of the introduction part of the low base strong reach B effect is the background dedicated to title display in the title display part (friend characters "Jam" and "Nana ” and the enemy character “Robo” are displayed in the left and right positions), at the start of the introduction part, the background at the start of the introduction part of the low base strong reach B production from the background dedicated to the title display in the title display part (Background where ally characters "Jam" and "Nana" and enemy character "Robo" confront each other in town). In the introduction part of the low base strong reach B effect, the enemy character "Robo" faces the front at the back side as seen from the player, and the friendly characters "Jam" and "Nana" are at the front side as seen from the player. starts with a video scene in which the two face each other with their backs turned. At this time, both the enemy character "Robo" located on the far side from the player's point of view and the friendly characters "Jam" and "Nana" located on the near side from the player's point of view are titled during the title display period of the title display part. The character "Gekishin Robo Battle" is displayed at the position where it overlaps with the fixed position where it was displayed. Also, as shown in FIGS. 11-39 (d8) and 11-40, after the start of the introductory part, the dialogue "Lose" corresponds to the scene in which friendly characters "Jam" and "Nana" confront enemy character "Robo". I'm not here!" is displayed, and the voice of the words displayed in the subtitles is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

In this way, in the low base strong reach B effect, while the title display part outputs the voice reading out the title from the speakers 8L and 8R, subtitles of the dialogue corresponding to the scene of the title display part are not displayed, and the subtitles are output from the speakers 8L and 8R. The sound of the dialogue corresponding to the scene of the title display part is also not output, and after the introductory part starts, the subtitle of the dialogue corresponding to the scene of the introductory part is displayed, and the scene of the introductory part is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. The voice of the dialogue corresponding to the is output.

The effect control CPU 120 determines that when a variation pattern that becomes a big hit after a low-base strong super reach B is specified by the variation pattern specification command, the friend characters "Jam" and "Nana" are the enemy characters "Jam" at the end of the introduction part. After winning the battle with "Robo", the effect result of the effect of the low-base strong reach B effect to the effect that it is a big hit (to the effect that it is controlled to a big win game state) is reported, and then the image display device 5 is displayed in a variable manner. A combination of decorative patterns (large) indicating the kind of jackpot specified by the result specifying command is displayed. On the other hand, when a variation pattern is specified by the variation pattern specification command, after the low base strong super reach B, the reach is lost, the ally characters "Jam" and "Nana" become the enemy character "Robo" at the end of the introduction part. is defeated in the battle of , and the effect result of the low base strong reach B effect is reported to the effect that it is not a big hit, and then the image display device 5 is shown the type of reach loss specified by the variable display result specifying command. A combination of decoration patterns (large) is displayed.

[Regarding the indication of the expectation level of the low base strong reach B production]
In the title display part of the low base strong reach B effect, the image display device 5 displays the title characters ``Gekishin Robo Battle'' and the expectation suggestive display in a size smaller than the title characters ``Gekishin Robo Battle''. The expectation indication displayed in the title display part is, as shown in FIG. The degree of expectation is indicated by the number of star-shaped objects whose color changes from black to gold among the five star-shaped objects. be.

In the normal state where the low base strong reach B effect is executed, the image display device 5 may display an object indicating the number of reservations and an object indicating the active display. If the degree suggestive display and are displayed at the same time, there is a risk that the objects forming the pending display and the active display may be misidentified as the expected degree suggestive display object. Therefore, in the title display part of the low base strong reach B production where the expectation indication is displayed, the suspension indication and active indication are configured by not displaying the suspension indication and active indication at the same time as the expectation indication indication. This prevents the object to be misidentified as the object of the expectation level indication display.

In addition, in the title display part of the low base strong reach B effect, the pending display and active display are not displayed at the same time as the expectation indication display, so if a maximum of 5 objects are displayed as pending display and active display, Even when the base strong reach B effect is executed, the object displayed as the pending display and the active display is confused with the object of the expectation suggestive display, and the expectation is misidentified as being the maximum in the expectation suggestive display. You can prevent it from slipping.

In addition, from the time the prologue display period starts in the low base strong reach B effect, it may be configured to hide the pending display and the active display. It is possible to prevent the object from being misidentified as the object of the suggestive display.

Also, when executing the low base strong reach B effect, as shown in FIGS. , After displaying the friendly character "Muyume" on the layer in front of the reserved display and the active display, the allied character "Muyume" is enlarged until the display area is completely filled, and the allied character "Muyume" is enlarged. Since the suspended display and active display displayed before the display area is completely filled with the display are hidden after the prologue display period ends, the suspended display and active display can be hidden without discomfort. In addition, when executing the low base strong reach B effect, by executing the monochromatic display effect that displays the entire display area in a single color such as white except for the decorative pattern (small) etc. of the reach mode, before the monochromatic display effect A configuration may be employed in which the displayed pending display and active display are erased, and in such a configuration as well, the pending display and active display can be hidden without causing a sense of incongruity.

In the title display part of the low base strong reach B production, as shown in Fig. 11-39 (d4), the title character "Gekishin Robo Battle" is displayed in place in a manner in which the expectation indication is hidden. The state is maintained for a predetermined period of time, and thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 11-39(d5) to (d6), an expectation suggestive display is displayed below the title characters "Gekishin Robo Battle". At this time, as shown in FIG. 11-39 (d5), in the initial stage, the colors of the five star-shaped objects constituting the expectation suggestive display are all displayed in black. As shown in 39 (d6), by changing the color of 3.5 star-shaped objects corresponding to the low base strong reach B effect from black to gold among the five star-shaped objects, the low base strong reach The degree of expectation for a big hit in the B performance is suggested. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the pending display, the active display, and the expectation suggestive display from being confused.

[About low base strong reach C effect]
Since the low base strong reach C effect has many points in common with the low base strong reach B effect described above, a drawing of the low base strong reach C effect is omitted.

The effect control CPU 120 receives the first variable display start command or the second variable display start command in the normal state, and when the variation pattern corresponding to the low base strong super reach C is specified by the variation pattern specification command, the If the variation pattern develops from normal reach through low base weak super reach A or low base weak super reach B, after execution of normal reach production, low base weak reach A production or low base weak reach B production is executed. , Develop into low base strong reach C production. Further, when the variation pattern corresponding to the low base strong super reach C is specified by the variation pattern specification command, if the variation pattern is a variation pattern that develops directly from the normal reach, after the execution of the normal reach effect, the selection effect described later and develop into a low base strong reach C effect.

When the performance control CPU 120 develops from the low-base weak-reach A performance or the low-base weak-reach B performance, the falling performance of dropping the movable body 32 at the end of the low-base weak-reach A performance or the low-base weak-reach B performance. After execution, the title display part of the low base strong reach C effect is started. In the drop effect, while maintaining the display of the left and right decorative patterns (small) in the reach mode, the first reserved memory display area 131SG005D, the second reserved memory display area 131SG005U, and the active display area 131SG005F, the low base is maintained. After switching from the background at the end of the weak reach A effect or the low base weak reach B effect to the background dedicated to the falling effect (background with patterns radially spreading from the center), the movable body 32 is dropped, and then the movable body 32 is moved to the initial position. up to

Further, when directly developing from normal reach, the effect control CPU 120 starts the title display part of the low base strong reach B effect after executing the selection effect described later. Details of the selection effect will be described later, but in the selection effect, the first reserved memory display area 131SG005D, the second reserved memory display area 131SG005U, and the active display area 131SG005F are hidden at the start of the selection effect.

The title display part of the low base strong reach C production is the prologue display period before the title characters "great earthquake robo battle" of the low base strong reach C production are displayed, and the title characters "great earthquake" in the display area of the image display device 5 The title start period from when a part of "Robo Battle" is displayed until it is displayed at the fixed position, the title display period when the title text "Great Earthquake Robo Battle" is displayed at the fixed position, and the title that was displayed at the fixed position Including the title end period until the display of the characters "Great Earthquake Robo Battle" disappears and it switches to the introduction part.

When shifting to the title display part of the low base strong reach C effect, the effect control CPU 120 first starts the display of the prologue display period.

During the prologue display period of the low-base strong reach C production that transitioned from the fall production, the background dedicated to the fall production (background with a pattern radially spreading from the center), the display of the left and right decorative patterns (small) in the reach mode, and the first reserved memory While maintaining the suspended display and active display of the display area 131SG005D, the second suspended memory display area 131SG005U, and the active display area 131SG005F, the ally character "Muyume" is displayed as a background dedicated to the falling effect (background with patterns radially spreading from the center). , is displayed on a layer in front of the suspended display and the active display, and then the ally character "Mumu" is enlarged and displayed until the entire display area is filled.

In addition, in the prologue display period of the low base strong reach C effect that has been transferred from the selection effect, the selection result image of the selection effect (here, the result image of the low base strong reach C effect), the left and right decorative patterns (small) of the reach mode While maintaining the display, the ally character ``Mumu'' is displayed on a layer in front of the selection result screen of the selection effect, and then the ally character ``Mumu'' is enlarged and displayed until the entire display area is filled.

After the end of the prologue display period, the effect control CPU 120 shifts to the title start period.

During the prologue display period after transitioning from the fall effect, the background exclusively for the fall effect (background with a pattern spreading radially from the center) that was displayed before the entire display area was filled by the enlarged display of the ally character "Muyume" will be displayed in the prologue display. After the period ends, the background will switch to a low base strong reach B effect (background in which the ally characters "Mume" and "Nana" and the enemy character "Dai Robo" are displayed on the left and right), and the ally character "Mume" The suspended display and active display that were displayed before the entire display area was filled by the enlarged display of , are hidden after the prologue display period ends. The display of the left and right decorative patterns (small) in the ready-to-win mode is maintained even after the prologue display period ends.

Also, although not shown, during the prologue display period after transition from the selection effect, the selection result image of the selection effect that was displayed before the display area was completely filled by the enlarged display of the ally character "Muyume" is displayed at the end of the prologue display period. After that, the background is switched to a title display-dedicated background with a low base strong reach C effect (a background in which ally characters "Muyume" and "Nana" and enemy character "Dai Robo" are displayed at left and right positions). The display of the left and right decoration patterns (small) of the ready-to-win mode is maintained even after the prologue display period ends, and the suspension display and active display that were hidden in the selection effect are maintained as they are.

During the title start period of the low base strong reach C production, a part of the title character "Great Earthquake Robo Battle" overlaps with the left side decoration pattern (small) of the reach mode left and right decoration patterns (small) from the left side of the display area. After that, the entire title character "Great Earthquake Robo Battle" is moved toward a fixed position and stopped at a fixed position. In the state where the title characters ``Great Vibration Robo Battle'' are stationary at a fixed position, a part of the title characters ``Great Vibration Robo Battle'' is displayed in a mode overlapping both the left and right decoration patterns (small) of the reach mode.

As the decoration pattern (small) on the left and right of the reach mode, one of the numbers "1" to "9" ("2" in the figure) is displayed, but during the title start period, the reach mode Even if the left and right decorative patterns (small) are numbers "1" to "9", part of the title character "Great Earthquake Robo Battle" is the left side decoration (small) of the left and right decorative patterns (small) in the reach mode. Appears in a form that overlaps with the design (small), and when the title character "Great Earthquake Robo Battle" is stationary in a fixed position, a part of the title character "Great Earthquake Robo Battle" is a reach form Left and right decoration design (small) is displayed in an overlapping manner with both of the

The effect control CPU 120 displays the title characters "Great Earthquake Robo Battle" at a fixed position during the title start period, and then shifts to the display during the title display period. In the title display period of the low base strong reach C effect, first, the title character "Great Earthquake Robo Battle" is displayed at a fixed position in a mode in which the expectation level suggestion display is hidden, and is maintained for a predetermined period of time. , the speakers 8L and 8R output the voice for reading the title. Next, below the title characters ``Great Vibration Robo Battle'', an expectation suggestive display is displayed in a size smaller than the title characters ``Great Vibration Robo Battle''. The title display period of the low base strong reach C effect is executed over a longer time than the title start period of the low base strong reach C effect (see FIGS. 11-47 and 11-48).

After the end of the title display period, the effect control CPU 120 shifts to the display of the title end period. In the end period of the title of the low base strong reach C effect, the title characters "great quake robo battle" displayed at the fixed position are moved from the fixed position to the right side of the display area until all the title characters disappear. In addition, the title character and the expectation indication display are moved to the right side of the display area until all disappear. The title end period of the low base strong reach C effect ends in a shorter time than the title start period and title display period of the low base strong reach C effect (see FIGS. 11-47 and 11-48). In addition, in the title display part of the low-base strong reach C effect, subtitles of words are not displayed unlike the low-base weak reach A effect and the low-base weak reach B effect, and the voice of the words is not output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

After the end of the title end period, the effect control CPU 120 starts the introduction part of the low base strong reach C effect. The background at the beginning of the introduction part of the low base strong reach C production is the background dedicated to the title display in the title display part (ally characters "Mume" and "Nana" and enemy character "Dai Robo" are displayed on the left and right. background), at the start of the introduction part, from the background dedicated to the title display in the title display part to the background at the start of the introduction part of the low base strong reach C production (ally characters "Mume" and "Nana" and enemy characters Switch to the background where the "large robots" confront each other in the town). In the introductory part of the low base strong reach C effect, the enemy character "Dai Robo" faces the front on the back side from the player's point of view, and the friendly characters "Mume" and "Nana" on the front side from the player's back. Start from a video scene where the two face each other. At this time, both the enemy character "Dai Robo" located on the far side from the player's point of view and the ally characters "Mume" and "Nana" located on the near side from the player's point of view are displayed during the title display period of the title display part. , the title character "Great Earthquake Robo Battle" is displayed in a position that overlaps with the fixed position where it was displayed. In addition, after the introduction part starts, subtitles of the line "I will never lose!" From 8R, the voice of the lines displayed with subtitles is output.

In this way, in the low base strong reach C effect, while the title display part outputs the voice reading out the title from the speakers 8L and 8R, the subtitles of the dialogue according to the scene of the title display part are not displayed, and the subtitles are output from the speakers 8L and 8R. The sound of the dialogue corresponding to the scene of the title display part is also not output, and after the introductory part starts, the subtitle of the dialogue corresponding to the scene of the introductory part is displayed, and the scene of the introductory part is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. The voice of the dialogue corresponding to the is output.

The effect control CPU 120 designates a variation pattern for a big hit after a low base strong super reach C by a variation pattern specification command, and the friend characters "Mume" and "Nana" are the enemy characters at the end of the introductory part. After winning the battle with the ``big robot'', the effect result of the effect of the low base strong reach C effect to the effect that it is a big win (to the effect that it will be controlled to the big win game state) is notified, and then, to the image display device 5, A combination of decorative patterns (large) indicating the kind of jackpot designated by the variable display result designation command is displayed. On the other hand, if a variation pattern is specified by the variation pattern specification command after the low base strong super reach C, the reach is lost, at the end of the introduction part, the ally characters "Mume" and "Nana" become the enemy character "Large Robo ”, the effect result of the low base strong reach C effect is notified as the effect result that it is not a big hit, and then the image display device 5 is notified of the reach specified by the variable display result specifying command. Display a combination of decorative patterns (large) indicating .

[Regarding the indication of the expectation level of the low base strong reach C effect]
In the title display part of the low-base strong reach C production, the image display device 5 displays the title characters ``Great Vibration Robo Battle'' and an expectation suggestive display in a size smaller than the title characters ``Great Vibration Robo Battle''. The expectation indication displayed in the title display part includes five star-shaped objects and the characters "expectation The degree of expectation is indicated by the number of star-shaped objects whose color changes from black to gold among the five star-shaped objects.

In the normal state where the low base strong reach C effect is executed, an object indicating the number of reservations and an object indicating the active display may be displayed on the image display device 5. If the degree suggestive display and are displayed at the same time, there is a possibility that the objects constituting the pending display and the active display may be misidentified as the expected degree suggestive display object. For this reason, in the title display part of the low-base strong reach C production where the expectation level suggestion display is displayed, the suspension display and active display are configured by not displaying the suspension display and active display at the same time as the expectation level suggestion display. This prevents the object to be misidentified as the object of the expectation indication display.

In addition, in the title display part of the low base strong reach C production, the pending display and active display are not displayed at the same time as the expectation indication display, so if a maximum of 5 objects are displayed as pending display and active display, Even when the base strong reach C effect is executed, the object displayed as the pending display and the active display is confused with the object of the expectation level suggestive display, and the expectation level is misidentified as being the maximum in the expectation level suggestive display. You can prevent it from slipping.

In addition, from the time the prologue display period starts in the low base strong reach C effect, it may be configured to hide the pending display and the active display. It is possible to prevent the object from being misidentified as an object of the suggestive display.

Also, when executing the low base strong reach B effect, during the prologue display period, the background dedicated to the falling effect (background with a pattern that spreads radially from the center), the ally character “Yume After displaying "Yume", the friendly character "Muyume" is displayed in an enlarged manner until the display area is completely filled, and the reserved display and Since the active display disappears after the prologue display period ends, it is possible to hide the pending display and the active display comfortably. In addition, when executing the low base strong reach C effect, by executing the monochromatic display effect that displays the entire display area in a single color such as white except for the decorative pattern (small) of the reach mode, before the monochromatic display effect A configuration may be employed in which the displayed pending display and active display are erased, and in such a configuration as well, the pending display and active display can be hidden without causing a sense of incongruity.

In the title display part of the low base strong reach C production, the title character "Great Earthquake Robo Battle" is displayed at a fixed position in a mode in which the expectation indication is hidden for a predetermined period of time, and then the title character is displayed. An expectation indication is displayed below "Great Earthquake Robo Battle". At this time, in the initial stage, the colors of the five star-shaped objects that make up the expectation suggestive display are all displayed in black, and then, among the five star-shaped objects, the low base strong reach C effect is displayed. By changing the color of the corresponding four star-shaped objects from black to gold, the expectation of a big hit in the low base strong reach C production is suggested. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the pending display, the active display, and the expectation suggestive display from being confused.

[About low base strongest reach performance]
FIG. 11-41 is a diagram showing the transition of images displayed on the image display device 5 when the low base strongest reach effect is executed, and FIG. 11-42 is a timing chart showing the execution status of the low base strongest reach effect. is.

The effect control CPU 120 receives the first variable display start command or the second variable display start command in the normal state, and when a variation pattern corresponding to the lowest base strongest super reach is specified by the variation pattern specification command, the variation If the pattern is a variation pattern that develops from normal reach through low base weak super reach A or low base weak super reach B, after execution of normal reach production, low base weak reach A production or low base weak reach B production is executed, Develop into a low-base strongest reach performance. In addition, when the variation pattern corresponding to the lowest base strongest super reach is specified by the variation pattern specification command, if the variation pattern is a variation pattern that develops directly from the normal reach, after the execution of the normal reach production, the selection production described later Execute and develop into a low-base strongest reach production.

When the performance control CPU 120 develops from the low-base weak-reach A performance or the low-base weak-reach B performance, the falling performance of dropping the movable body 32 at the end of the low-base weak-reach A performance or the low-base weak-reach B performance. After execution, start the title display part of the low base strongest reach production. In the drop effect, as shown in FIG. 11-41 (e1), the display of the left and right decorative patterns (small) in the reach mode, the first reserved memory display area 131SG005D, the second reserved memory display area 131SG005U, and the active display area 131SG005F While maintaining the pending display and active display, after switching from the background at the end of the low base weak reach A effect or low base weak reach B effect to the background dedicated to the falling effect (background with a pattern spreading radially from the center), the movable body 32 is dropped, and then the movable body 32 is raised to the initial position.

In addition, when directly developing from normal reach, the effect control CPU 120 starts the title display part of the low base strongest reach effect after executing the selection effect described later as shown in FIG. 11-41 (e1') . Although the details of the selection effect will be described later, in the selection effect, at the start of the selection effect, the reserved display and active display of the first reserved memory display area 131SG005D, the second reserved memory display area 131SG005U, and the active display area 131SG005F are hidden.

As shown in FIG. 11-42, the title display part of the low-base strongest reach effect is part of the title characters of the low-base strongest reach effect "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!" The title start period from when it is displayed until it is displayed at the fixed position, the title display period when the title text "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!" Including the title end period until the display of "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!" disappears and it switches to the introductory part.

When shifting to the title display part of the low base strongest reach effect, the effect control CPU 120 first starts the display of the title start period.

In the title start period of the low base strongest reach production, as shown in Fig. 11-41 (e3), the display of the left and right decorative patterns (small) in the reach mode is maintained, and the title text "6 people catch the explosion" !” is displayed in an enlarged size in which only part of the characters are visible in the display area. At this time, the display area is completely filled with part of the title characters "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!". In addition, the part displayed in the display area of the title characters "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!" After that, as shown in FIG. 11-41(e4), the title characters "Six people catch Bakuchu!" The reduced-sized title characters "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!" are fixed at a fixed position. When the title text "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!" It is displayed in a manner overlapping both the left and right decoration patterns (small).

As the decorative pattern (small) on the left and right of the reach mode, one of the numbers "1" to "9" ("2" in the figure) will be displayed, but the title of the low base strongest reach production will start. During the period, even if the left and right decoration patterns (small) of the reach mode are numbers "1" to "9", the title characters that appear in enlarged size "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!" The title text "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!" It is displayed in a mode overlapping both the left and right decoration patterns (small) of the reach mode.

As shown in FIGS. 11-41 (e1) to (e4), during the title start period after the transition from the drop effect, the entire display area is filled with part of the enlarged size title characters "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!" The background for the fall effect that was displayed before it was displayed in an exhausted manner (background with a pattern that spreads radially from the center) is part of the enlarged title text "Catch the Bakuchu with 6 people!" While the display area is completely filled, the title display background with the strongest reach at low base (background with 6 allied characters and the enemy character "Bakuchu" displayed on the left and right) , and when the title text "Catch Bakuchu with 6 People!" Also, during the title start period after transitioning from the drop effect, it was displayed before the display area was completely filled with a part of the enlarged title text "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!" The suspended display and the active display are hidden while the display area is completely filled with a portion of the enlarged size title characters "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!". The display of the left and right decorative patterns (small) in the reach mode is maintained even after the end of the title start period.

Also, during the title start period after transitioning from the selection effect, it was displayed before the display area was completely filled with a part of the enlarged title text "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!" The selection result image of the selection effect (here, the title image of the low base strongest reach effect) is displayed in a manner in which the entire display area is filled with a part of the enlarged size title characters "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!" While it is being done, it switches to the background dedicated to the title display of the low base strongest reach production (the background where 6 friendly characters and the enemy character “Bakuchu” are displayed on the left and right), and the title character “Bakuchu with 6 people” Catch!" is displayed in a fixed position in a reduced size, the background dedicated to displaying the title with the strongest reach at the lowest base is displayed as the background. The display of the left and right decorative patterns (small) of the ready-to-win mode is maintained even after the end of the title start period, and the pending display and active display that were hidden in the selection effect are maintained as they are.

The effect control CPU 120 displays the title characters "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!" in a reduced size at a fixed position in the title start period, and then shifts to display in the title display period. In the title display period of the low base strongest reach production, first, as shown in FIG. The state of being displayed at the position is maintained for a predetermined time, during which the title is output from the speakers 8L and 8R as shown in FIG. 11-42. Next, as shown in FIGS. 11-41 (e5) to (e6), below the title characters "6 people catch Bakuchu!" Display the expectation indication. As shown in FIG. 11-42, the title display period of the low base strongest reach effect is executed for a longer time than the title start period of the low base strongest reach effect (see FIGS. 11-47 and 11-48).

After the end of the title display period, the effect control CPU 120 shifts to the display of the title end period. During the title end period of the low base strongest reach effect, as shown in Fig. 11-41 (e6) to (e7), the title characters "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!" , is expanded until the entire display area is filled with part of the title characters "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!". At this time, the title characters "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!" In a manner different from the case where "Catch Bakuchu!" Expand until the display area is completely filled. That is, during the title start period, the trajectory passed by each part of the title characters in the process of shrinking the title characters "Six people catch Bakuchu!" expands during the title end period. It is different from the trajectory that each part of the title character passes through in the process. Therefore, the entire display area is filled with part of the title characters "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!" in a manner different from the manner in which the entire display area is filled at the start of the title start period. As shown in FIG. 11-42, the title end period of the low-base strongest reach effect ends in a shorter time than the title start period and title display period of the low-base strongest reach effect (FIGS. 11-47 and 11-48). reference). In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-42, in the title display part of the low base strongest reach production, the caption of the dialogue is not displayed like the low base weak reach A production and the low base weak reach B production, and the speakers 8L and 8R are displayed. The voice of the dialogue is not output from.

After the end of the title end period, the effect control CPU 120 starts the introduction part of the low base strongest reach effect. As shown in FIGS. 11-41 (e4) to (e8), the background at the start of the introduction part of the low-base strongest reach production (the background in which six friendly characters chase the enemy character “Bakuchu” in the city) is the title Unlike the background dedicated to the title display in the display part (the background in which 6 friendly characters and the enemy character "Bakuchu" are displayed on the left and right), the title text "Catch Bakuchu with 6 people!" After the title end period is over, the background dedicated to the title display is completely filled by part of the, and then it switches to the background at the start of the introduction part of the low base strongest reach production. The introductory part of the low base strongest reach production starts with a video scene in which six friendly characters chase the enemy character "Bakuchu". Also, as shown in FIGS. 11-41(e8) and 11-42, after the start of the introduction part, the line corresponding to the scene in which the six friendly characters chase the enemy character "Bakuchu" is "Try to catch it if you can." !” is displayed, and the voice of the lines displayed by the subtitles is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

In this way, in the low base strongest reach effect, while the title display part outputs the voice reading out the title from the speakers 8L and 8R, the caption of the dialogue corresponding to the scene of the title display part is not displayed, and the title is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. The voice of the dialogue corresponding to the scene of the display part is also not output. The voice of the corresponding line is output.

The effect control CPU 120 designates a variation pattern that becomes a big hit after the strongest super reach at a low base by a variation pattern specification command. A performance result of a big win (to be controlled to a big win game state) is reported as a performance result of the low-base strongest reach performance, and then the big win of the type specified by the variable display result specifying command is sent to the image display device 5.例文帳に追加Display a combination of decorative patterns (large) indicating . On the other hand, when a variation pattern was specified by the variation pattern specification command, after the strongest super reach at the lowest base, the reach was lost. Then, a performance result indicating that it is not a big hit is notified as a performance result of the low-base strongest reach performance, and thereafter, a decoration pattern (large) indicating the type of reach loss designated by the variable display result designation command is displayed on the image display device 5. Display combinations.

[Regarding the indication of the expectation level of the strongest reach performance at the low base]
In the title display part of the low-base strongest reach effect, the image display device 5 shows the title characters "6 people catch Bakuchu!" display is displayed. The expectation indication displayed in the title display part is, as shown in FIG. The degree of expectation is indicated by the number of star-shaped objects whose color changes from black to gold among the five star-shaped objects. be.

In the normal state where the low-base strongest reach effect is executed, an object indicating the number of reservations and an object indicating the active display may be displayed on the image display device 5, and in the title display part, the reservation display, the active display, and the degree of expectation If the suggestive display and are displayed at the same time, there is a risk that the object that constitutes the pending display and the active display will be misidentified as the object of the expectation level suggestive display. For this reason, in the title display part of the low base strongest reach production where the expectation level suggestion display is displayed, the hold display and active display are configured by not displaying the hold display and active display at the same time as the expectation level suggestion display. This prevents the object from being misidentified as the object of the expectation indication display.

Also, in the title display part of the low base strongest reach effect, since the pending display and active display are not displayed at the same time as the expectation indication display, the low base is displayed in a situation where a maximum of 5 objects are displayed as the pending display and active display Even when the strongest reach effect is executed, the object displayed as the pending display and the active display is confused with the object of the expectation level suggestion display, and the expectation level suggestion display is mistakenly recognized as the highest level of expectation. can be prevented.

In addition, when executing the low-base strongest reach effect, as shown in FIGS. Only some characters are displayed in an enlarged size that is visible in the display area, and then all characters are displayed in a reduced size that is visible in the display area. Sometimes, the pending display and the active display that were displayed before the title start period are hidden, so that the pending display and the active display can be hidden without a sense of discomfort. In addition, when executing the low base strongest reach effect, by executing the single color display effect that displays the entire display area in a single color such as white except for the decoration pattern (small) etc. of the reach mode, it is displayed before the single color display effect. A configuration may be employed in which the suspended display and the active display that have been displayed may be deleted, and even in such a configuration, the suspended display and the active display can be hidden without causing a sense of incongruity.

In the title display part of the low base strongest reach production, as shown in FIG. The displayed state is maintained for a predetermined time, and then, as shown in FIGS. display. At this time, as shown in FIG. 11-41 (e5), in the initial stage, the colors of the five star-shaped objects that constitute the expectation suggestive display are all displayed in black. As shown in 41 (e6), by changing the color of 4.5 star-shaped objects corresponding to the low-base strongest reach production out of the five star-shaped objects from black to gold, the low-base strongest reach production is achieved. The expectation of a big hit in is suggested. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the pending display, the active display, and the expectation suggesting display from being confused.

[Regarding the modification of the title display part]
FIG. 11-43 is a diagram showing the transition of images in the modification of the title display part of the low base strong reach A effect, the low base strong reach B effect, the low base strong reach C effect, and the low base strongest reach effect.

When the effect control CPU 120 shifts to the title display part of the corresponding super reach effect, first, as shown in FIG. 11-43 (f1), the display area A blackout effect is executed to display the entire image in black. If the pending display and the active display were displayed before the execution of the blackout effect, the pending display and the active display disappear with the start of the blackout effect.

After continuing the blackout effect for a predetermined period of time, the effect control CPU 120 displays the expectation suggesting display (Fig. 11- At 43 (f2), an expectation suggestive display of low-base strongest reach performance) is displayed.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 maintains the state in which the background of the entire display area is displayed in black and the expectation level suggestion display is displayed for a predetermined time, and as shown in FIGS. The title character of the effect (in FIGS. 11-43 (f3) and (f5), the title character of the strongest reach effect at the low base) is displayed at a fixed position in a size larger than the expectation level indication display.

When all title characters of the corresponding super ready-to-win effect are displayed at fixed positions, a part of the title characters is displayed in a form overlapping both left and right decoration patterns (small) of the ready-to-win mode. As the left and right decorative patterns (small) in the reach mode, one of the numbers "1" to "9" ("2" in the figure) will be displayed, but the left and right decorative patterns in the reach mode ( In any case where the small) is a number from "1" to "9", the title characters of the corresponding super reach effect when displayed in a fixed position are part of the left and right decorative patterns in the reach mode (small) is displayed in a manner that overlaps both of the

Also, the title characters are displayed in one of the white mode (FIG. 11-43 (f3)) and the red mode (FIG. 11-43 (f5)). Whether the title characters are to be displayed in the white mode or the red mode is determined by the previously described notice effect determination process during variable display at step 131 SGS609. In the notice effect determination processing during variable display, when a variation pattern including execution of a low base strong reach A effect, a low base strong reach B effect, a low base strong reach C effect, and a low base strongest reach effect is specified, a big hit is achieved. Whether the title characters are displayed in white or in red is determined with a probability according to whether or not the title characters are present, and a big hit is achieved when the title characters are displayed in red. Whether the title characters are displayed in a white mode or in a red mode is determined with the probability that the rate is higher than the rate of a big hit when the title characters are displayed in the white mode. Therefore, in the title display part of the corresponding super ready-to-win performance, when the title characters are displayed in a red mode, the expectation of a big win is higher than when the title characters are displayed in a white mode.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 displays the expectation level suggestion display and the title characters of the corresponding super reach effect, and then, as shown in FIGS. The background corresponding to the title display part of the corresponding super reach performance is displayed while the display of the title characters of the reach performance is maintained, and the voice for reading the title is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. On the other hand, in the title display part, subtitles of words are not displayed unlike the low-base weak reach A effect and the low-base weak reach B effect, and the voice of the words is not output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Also, in the title display part, the title characters are displayed for a longer period of time than the time until the title characters are displayed after the blackout effect is started (see FIGS. 11-47 and 11-48).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 shifts to the title end period. Incidentally, the control of the title end period is the same as that of each super ready-to-win effect described above, so the explanation here is omitted.

In this way, in the modified example of the title display part, the title character of the corresponding super reach effect is larger in size than the expectation level indication display, and the expected level is white or red depending on whether it is in a white mode or a red mode. Since the degree of expectation is suggested, the attention of the player is attracted. However, by displaying the expectation degree suggestion display before the title characters, the expectation degree suggestion can be first noticed.

Also, as shown in FIG. 11-43 (f2), regardless of whether the title characters are displayed in white or in red, if the type of super ready-to-win effect is the same, a common mode is used. An expectation indication is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to make the user pay attention to whether the mode of the title characters after the expectation level suggestive display is displayed is the white mode or the red mode.

[About high base reach A to D production]
FIG. 11-44 is a diagram showing the transition of images displayed on the image display device 5 during execution of the high base reach A to D effects, and FIG. 11-44 shows the execution status of the high base reach A to D effects. is a timing chart showing In addition, high base reach A to D productions are common except for the types of enemy characters that appear, title names, and expectations suggested by the expectation level indication display, so the high base reach A production will be explained here. However, the explanation of the high base reach B to D effects is omitted.

Production control CPU 120 receives the first variable display start command or the second variable display start command in the time saving state A or the probability variable state, and when the variation pattern corresponding to the high base super reach A is specified by the variation pattern specification command 11-44 (g2), the type of decorative pattern (large) designated by the variable display result designation command is displayed on the image display device 5 at a predetermined timing. A normal ready-to-win performance is executed in which the game stops at the "left" and "right" decorative pattern display areas 5L and 5R and is in a ready-to-win mode. After that, the title display part of the high base reach A effect is started.

As shown in FIG. 11-45, the title display part of the high base reach A effect is fixed after part of the title characters "Battle reach A" of the high base reach A effect is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. The title start period until the title character "Battlereach A" is displayed at the position, the title display period when the title character "Battlereach A" is displayed at the fixed position, and the title character "Battlereach A" that was displayed at the fixed position disappears. and a title end period until switching to the introductory part.

When shifting to the title display part of the high base reach A effect, the effect control CPU 120 first starts displaying the title start period.

In the title start period of the high base reach A production, as shown in Figure 11-44 (g2), while maintaining the display of the left and right decorative patterns (small) in the reach mode, the title character "Battle reach A" is changed to that The characters are displayed in an enlarged size in which only some characters are visible in the display area. At this time, the display area is completely filled with part of the title characters "Battlereach A". In addition, the portion of the title character "Battle Reach A" that is displayed in the display area appears in a mode that overlaps both the left and right decoration patterns (small) of the reach mode. After that, as shown in Fig. 11-44 (g3), the title characters "Battle Reach A" are gradually reduced to a reduced size in which all the characters of the title characters "Battle Reach A" are visible in the display area. The title character "Battle Reach A" is fixed at a fixed position. When the title character "Battle Reach A" is reduced in size and is stationary at a fixed position, a portion of the title character "Battle Reach A" is displayed in a manner overlapping both the left and right decoration patterns (small) of the Reach mode. be.

As the left and right decorative patterns (small) of the reach mode, one of the numbers "1" to "9" ("2" in the figure) will be displayed, but the title of the high base reach A production will start. During the period, the title character "Battle Reach A" that appears in an enlarged size will be the left and right decorations of the reach mode, regardless of whether the left and right decorative patterns (small) of the reach mode are numbers "1" to "9". The title character "Battle Reach A", which appears in a form that overlaps both the patterns (small) and is displayed in a reduced size when stationary in a fixed position, is part of the left and right decorative patterns (small) in the reach form. is displayed in a manner that overlaps both of the

As shown in FIGS. 11-44 (g1) to (g3), the display area is completely filled with part of the enlarged title characters "Battle Reach A". The changing background (night sky background) of the decorative pattern (large) in the state A or the variable state is displayed in a manner in which the entire display area is filled with part of the enlarged title characters "Battle Reach A". While there, it switches to a title display background with a high base reach A effect (a background in which the ally character "Mume" and the enemy character "Maskman" are displayed on the left and right), and the title character "Battle reach A" shrinks. In the state of being stationary at a fixed position at the size, a background dedicated to title display with high base reach A effect is displayed as the background. In addition, the suspended display and active display that were displayed before the display area was completely filled with a portion of the enlarged title character "Battlereach A" will be replaced with the enlarged title character "Battlereach A". A” is hidden while it is being displayed in a state in which the entire display area is completely filled. The display of the left and right decorative patterns (small) in the reach mode is maintained even after the end of the title start period.

The effect control CPU 120 displays the title characters "Battle Reach A" in a reduced size at a fixed position during the title start period, and then shifts to display during the title display period. In the title display period of the high base reach A effect, first, as shown in FIG. This state is maintained for a predetermined time, during which the title is output from the speakers 8L and 8R as shown in FIG. 11-45. Next, as shown in FIGS. 11-44(g4) to (g5), an expectation suggestive display is displayed below the title characters "Battle Reach A" in a size smaller than the title characters "Battle Reach A". As shown in FIG. 11-45, the title display period of the high base reach A effect is executed over a longer time than the title start period of the high base reach A effect (see FIGS. 11-47 and 11-48).

After the end of the title display period, the effect control CPU 120 shifts to the display of the title end period. In the title end period of the high base reach A production, as shown in Figs. Expand until the entire display area is filled with a part of Reach A'. At this time, when the title characters "Battlereach A" are displayed in reduced size during the title start period, instead of being enlarged and displayed in the opposite manner as when the title characters "Battlereach A" are displayed in reduced size during the title start period. In a mode different from the reverse mode, the title characters ``Battle reach A'' are expanded until the entire display area is filled with a part of the title characters ``Battle reach A''. In other words, the trajectory that each part of the title character passes during the process of shrinking the title character "Battle reach A" during the title start period is the same as the trajectory that each part of the title character passes during the process that the title character "Battle reach A" expands during the title end period. is different. Therefore, the entire display area is filled with part of the title characters "Battlereach A" in a manner different from the manner in which the entire display area is filled at the start of the title start period. As shown in FIG. 11-45, the title end period of the high base reach A effect ends in a shorter time than the title start period and title display period of the high base reach A effect (FIGS. 11-47 and 11-48 reference). In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-45, in the title display part of the high base reach A production, subtitles of dialogue are not displayed unlike the low base weak reach A production and the low base weak reach B production, and speakers 8L and 8R are displayed. The voice of the dialogue is not output from.

After the end of the title end period, the effect control CPU 120 starts the introduction part of the high base reach A effect. As shown in FIGS. 11-44 (g3) to (g7), the background at the start of the introductory part of the high-base reach A production (the background in which the ally character "Mume" and the enemy character "Maskman" are fighting) , unlike the background dedicated to the title display in the title display part (the background where the ally character "Mume" and the enemy character "Maskman" are displayed on the left and right), the title character "Battle Reach A" during the title end period. After the title end period ends after the title display-dedicated background is partially filled up, the background is switched to the background at the start of the introductory part of the high base reach A effect. The introductory part of the high-base-reach-A production starts with a moving image scene in which the ally character "Mume" and the enemy character "Maskman" are fighting. Also, as shown in FIGS. 11-44 (g7) and 11-45, after the start of the introductory part, the line "Fight !” is displayed, and the voice of the lines displayed by the subtitles is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

In this way, in the high base reach A production, the title is read out from the speakers 8L and 8R in the title display part, while subtitles of dialogue corresponding to the scene of the title display part are not displayed, and the title is read from the speakers 8L and 8R. The voice of the dialogue corresponding to the scene of the display part is also not output. The voice of the corresponding line is output.

The effect control CPU 120, when a variation pattern for a big hit after a high-base super reach A is specified by the variation pattern specification command, causes the ally character "Mume" to fight against the enemy character "Maskman" at the end of the introductory part. After winning the battle, the performance result of the high base reach A performance to the effect that it is a big hit (to the effect that it is controlled to the big win game state) is reported, and then specified by the variable display result specification command to the image display device 5. A combination of decorative patterns (large) indicating the types of jackpots selected is displayed. On the other hand, if a variation pattern is specified by the variation pattern specification command after the high base super reach A, the reach is lost, the friendly character “Mume” is defeated by the enemy character “Maskman” at the end of the introduction part, and the high base super reach A A performance result to the effect that it is not a big hit is reported as the performance result of the base reach A performance, and then a combination of decoration patterns (large) indicating the type of reach loss designated by the variable display result designation command is displayed on the image display device 5.例文帳に追加display.

[Regarding the indication of expectations for high base reach A to D productions]
Since the expectation level suggestion display of high base reach A to D production is common except that the expectation level suggested by the expectation level suggestion display is different, here we will explain the expectation level suggestion display of high base reach A production, The explanation of the expectation level suggestive display of the base reach B-D effects will be omitted.

In the title display part of the high base reach A production, the image display device 5 displays the title characters "Battle reach A" and the expectation indication display in a size smaller than the title characters "Battle reach A". The expectation indication displayed in the title display part is, as shown in FIG. The degree of expectation is indicated by the number of star-shaped objects whose color changes from black to gold among the five star-shaped objects. be.

In the time-saving state A or the probability variable state in which the high base reach A effect is executed, an object indicating the number of pending and an object indicating active display may be displayed on the image display device 5, and the pending display and active display in the title display part , and the expectation level suggesting display are displayed at the same time, there is a risk that the object that constitutes the pending display and the active display will be misidentified as the object of the expectation level suggesting display. Therefore, in the title display part of the high base reach A production where the expectation level suggestive display is displayed, the pending display and active display are configured by not displaying the pending display and active display at the same time as the expectation level suggestive display. This prevents the object from being misidentified as the object of the expectation indication display.

In addition, in the time saving state A or the probability variable state, the game ball hardly enters the first start winning opening, so if the number of reservations of the second special figure is the maximum (4) and is being displayed variable, the reservation A maximum of 5 objects may be displayed as display and active display, and it will match the number of objects indicating that the expectation level is the maximum in the expectation level indication display, but the high base reach A production In the title display part, since the pending display and active display are not displayed at the same time as the expectation indication display, when a maximum of 5 objects are displayed as the pending display and active display, the high base reach A effect is executed. However, it is possible to prevent the object displayed as the pending display and the active display from being confused with the object of the expectation level suggestion display, and misunderstanding that the expectation level is the maximum in the expectation level suggestion display.

Further, when the high base reach A effect is executed, as shown in FIGS. 11-44 (g1) to (g3), the title characters "Battle reach A" are displayed only in part during the title start period. Displayed in an enlarged size that is not visible in the area, then reduced in size so that all characters are visible in the display area, and when the background dedicated to title display with high base reach A effect is displayed, the title start period Since the suspended display and the active display that were displayed before are hidden, the suspended display and the active display can be hidden without a sense of discomfort. In addition, when executing the high base reach A effect, by executing the single color display effect that displays the entire display area in a single color such as white except for the decorative pattern (small) etc. of the reach mode, it is displayed before the single color display effect. A configuration may be employed in which the suspended display and the active display that have been displayed may be deleted, and even in such a configuration, the suspended display and the active display can be hidden without causing a sense of incongruity.

In the title display part of the high base reach A production, as shown in Figure 11-44 (g3), the title characters "Battle reach A" are displayed in place in a manner in which the expectation level indication display is hidden. The state is maintained for a predetermined period of time, and thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 11-44 (g4) to (g5), an expectation suggestive display is displayed below the title characters "Battle Reach A". At this time, as shown in FIG. 11-44 (g4), in the initial stage, the colors of the five star-shaped objects constituting the expectation suggestive display are all displayed in black. 44 (g5), 3 of the 5 star-shaped objects corresponding to the high base reach A effect (3.5 for the high base reach B effect, 4 for the high base reach C effect, and 4 for the high base reach C effect) By changing the color of the star-shaped object (4.5 in the reach D production) from black to gold, the expectation of a big hit in the high base reach A production is suggested. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the pending display, the active display, and the expectation suggestive display from being confused.

[Regarding the display position of title characters]
11-46 is a diagram showing positions where title characters are displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 11-46(A) and 11-46(B), the image display device 5 has a rectangular display area 5L. The visual recognition area in the display area 5L is an area that can be visually recognized from the opening 24 formed in the game board 2, that is, an area that is not covered by members constituting the game board 2. FIG.

As described above, the effect control CPU 120 displays the title characters "Catch Bakuchu!" At this time, the fixed position where the title characters "Catch Bakuchu!" 11-46(B), it is the maximum rectangular area that is not obstructed by the members of the game board 2 within the viewing area of the image display device 5. It overlaps with the intersection of the diagonals of a certain visible rectangular area 5S.

Similarly, the title characters for the low base weak reach B production "Biribiri Hockey Showdown", the title characters for the low base strong reach A production "Two people catch the explosion!", The title characters for the low base strong reach B production "Shock Robo Battle", low-base strong reach C production title character "Great Earthquake Robo Battle", low base strongest reach production title character "6 people catch the explosion!", high base reach A production title character "Battle Reach A" , the title character "Battle reach B" for high base reach B production, the title character "Battle reach C" for high base reach C production, and the title character "Battle reach D" for high base reach D production. As shown in FIG. 11-46(A), the fixed position where the title characters are displayed during the title display period is the position where the title characters overlap with the intersection of the diagonal lines of the display area 5L of the image display device 5. As shown in 11-46(B), the intersection of the diagonals of the visible square area 5S, which is the largest rectangular area that is not obstructed by the members of the game board 2 within the visible area of the image display device 5, and the It is in an overlapping position.

The design of game machines is often changed in the development stage, and the area where the display area 5L of the image display device 5 is covered by the members constituting the game board 2 changes due to the change in the design of the game board 2. The visible area of the display area 5L may be changed. In addition, there are cases where a game machine installed in a game store is taken over, repaired, and resold. The visible area of the display area 5L may be changed by changing the area covered with the display area 5L. In such a case, if the placement of the title characters in the super ready-to-win effect is determined based on the display area 5L of the image display device 5, the display position of the title characters may deviate greatly from the center of the visible area. .

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in any title display part of the super ready-to-win effect, the fixed positions where the title characters are displayed during the title display period are the diagonal lines of the display area 5L of the image display device 5. It is a position that overlaps with the intersection point and also overlaps with the intersection point of the diagonals of the visible rectangular area 5S, which is the largest rectangular area that is not obstructed by the members of the game board 2 within the visible area of the image display device 5. Therefore, the title character displayed at a fixed position during the title display period is displayed at a position overlapping both the intersection of the diagonal lines of the display area 5L and the intersection of the diagonal lines of the visible rectangular area 5S. Even when the design of the game board 2 is changed when the machine is reused, it is possible to prevent the display position of the title characters from deviating greatly from the center of the visual recognition area.

The display area sizes EKA, EKB, and EKC of title characters for production, low base strong reach B production, and low base strong reach C production are the display area sizes EJA for low base weak reach A production and low base weak reach B production. , Larger than EJB, low base strong reach A production, low base strong reach B, low base weak reach C production with higher expectations for big hits Low base strongest reach production title character display area size ESK is a low base It is larger than the display area sizes EKA, EKB, and EKC of the title characters of the strong reach A effect, the low base strong reach B effect, and the low base strong reach C effect.

[About indication of expectation level]
FIG. 11-50 is a diagram showing the execution status of the expectation suggestive display in the title display part of the super reach effect.

As shown in FIG. 11-50(A), the expectation indication displayed in the title display part is five star-shaped objects and is displayed above the star-shaped object. The degree of expectation is indicated by the number of star-shaped objects whose color changes from black to gold among the five star-shaped objects. be.

11-50(A), the effect control CPU 120 first displays five star-shaped objects in black, and the star-shaped objects indicate the degree of expectation. After displaying the characters "Expectation" to indicate that the object is the object, a plurality of star-shaped objects to be changed from black to gold are changed from black to gold step by step in order from the left side. When the effect control CPU 120 changes the color of the star-shaped object from black to gold, the effect control CPU 120 highlights the corresponding star-shaped object, and then changes the color to normal display in gold.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 11-50(B), the effect control CPU 120 enlarges and displays the star-shaped object whose color is to be changed, changes the color to white so as to shine from the center toward the periphery, and After changing the entire enlarged object to white until disappears, display a star-shaped object whose whole or half has changed to gold. In particular, for the second to third star-shaped objects, a part of the enlarged display of the star-shaped object is part of the characters "expectation" to indicate that the star-shaped object indicates the degree of expectation. Enlarge to a size that overlaps with the In addition, the effect control CPU 120 performs highlighting in a common manner when changing the entire black star object to gold and when changing half of the star object to gold.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-50(A), when the effect control CPU 120 changes a plurality of star-shaped objects to gold, the highlighting of the star-shaped object whose highlighting was started earlier ends. At the timing (t1) before normal display, the next star-shaped object is started to be highlighted. On the other hand, the effect control CPU 120 does not start highlighting the two adjacent star-shaped objects until the timing (t2) when the highlighting of the star-shaped object whose highlighting started earlier ends, and highlights it first. At the timing (t2) when the highlighting of the star-shaped object that started . That is, two adjacent star-shaped objects are highlighted at the same time, but three star-shaped objects are not highlighted simultaneously.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-50(A), the effect control CPU 120 causes the speakers 8L and 8R to output the expectation suggesting sound at the timing when the star-shaped object is started to be highlighted, and a plurality of star-shaped objects are displayed. When changing the object to gold, the output of the expectation suggestive sound associated with the highlighting of the star-shaped object that started highlighting first is terminated before the highlighting of the next star-shaped object is started, and the next star-shaped object is highlighted. It is designed not to be output overlapping with the expectation suggestive sound accompanying the highlighting of the star-shaped object.

[About selection effect]
FIG. 11-51 is a diagram showing the execution status of the selection effect. The selection effect is from the normal reach effect to the low base weak reach A effect or the low base weak reach B effect directly without going through the low base strong reach A ~ C effect or the low base strongest reach effect, any kind of super It is the production|presentation which specifies whether reach production|presentation is performed.

When the selection effect is executed, the effect control CPU 120 executes the normal reach effect as shown in FIG. A window is displayed in the display area of , and the title of the selection effect is displayed in the window. In the title of the selection effect, a message "Upgrade your reach!" is displayed, suggesting that the selection effect will be executed.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 11-51 (h2) to (h8), the effect control CPU 120 displays a super reach effect title image in the window, a button image imitating the push button 31B, and continuous operation of the push button 31B. and an operation prompting image consisting of the operation prompting characters "Consecutive hits!" The title image of the super reach effect is an image with the same content as the display content of the title display period in the title display part of each super reach effect. , the expectation indication is also displayed.

The effect control CPU 120 selects the title image of the low base weak reach A effect, which has a jackpot expectation level of 0 as the title image of the super reach effect displayed in the window and has the lowest level of expectation for development to other super reach effect. is first displayed, and each time the operation of the push button 31B is detected for the number of times corresponding to the title image of the displayed super ready-to-win effect, the super ready-to-win effect corresponding to the type of variation pattern specified by the variation pattern specification command is performed. Switch to the title image of the next super reach effect until the title image is reached.

As shown in Figure 11-51 (h2) to (h8), the title image of the super reach effect displayed in the window is the lowest low base weak reach A effect with the lowest development expectation for other super reach effects After the title image, expectations for development to other super reach effects are higher than low base weak reach A effects Expectations for big hits are higher than low base weak reach B effects, title images for low base weak reach B effects, and low base weak reach A and B effects Title image of low-base strong reach A production, low-base strong reach B production title image with higher expectations for big hits than low-base strong reach A production, low-base strong reach B productions with higher expectations for big wins than low-base strong reach B production The title image of the C production and the title image of the low base strongest reach production having a higher expectation for a big hit than the low base strong reach C production are switched in order.

Then, when the title image of the super ready-to-win effect corresponding to the variation pattern of the type specified by the variation pattern specifying command, the effect control CPU 120 pushes the number of push buttons corresponding to the title image of the displayed super ready-to-win effect. When the operation of 31B is detected, as shown in FIG. 11-51 (h9), the confirmation image in which the operation promotion image disappears and only the title image of the super reach effect is displayed in the window is displayed. It is notified that the super ready-to-win effect of the title image will be executed, and then the title display part of the super ready-to-win effect is started.

As shown in FIG. 11-52, the number of times the push button 3B is operated to switch from the title image of low base weak reach A effect to the title image of low base weak reach B effect is 3 times, and the title image of low base weak reach B effect is changed to the title image of low base weak reach B effect. The number of operations of the push button 31B for switching to the title image of the low base strong reach A effect is 4 times, and the number of operations of the push button 31B to switch from the title image of the low base strong reach A effect to the title image of the low base strong reach B effect is 8 times. The number of operations of the push button 31B for switching from the title image with low base strong reach B effect to the title image with low base strong reach C effect is 10 times, and the title image with low base strong reach C effect is changed to the title image with low base strong reach effect. The number of operations of the push button 31B for switching to the image is 15 times, and the higher the attitude of the super reach performance of the title image to be switched to another super reach performance or the higher the expectation of the big win, the more necessary it is to switch to the next title image. Therefore, the number of times the push button 31B is operated increases, and the push button 31B needs to be operated many times.

Also, as shown in FIG. 11-52, when the selection effect is executed, the low base weak reach A and B effects are not executed, and the expected degree of jackpot is always higher than the low base strong reach A effect. It is confirmed that the super reach effect will be executed, the ratio of executing the low base strong reach A effect is about 32.18%, the ratio of executing the low base strong reach B effect is about 30.16%, and the low base The ratio of executing the strong reach C effect is about 30.30%, and the ratio of executing the low base strongest reach effect is about 7.36%.

In addition, the effect control CPU 120 causes the title image of the low-base strong reach A to C effects and the low-base strongest reach effect in the selected effects to display the expectation indication display in the same way as the title display part. In the expectation indication display in the part, five star-shaped objects are displayed in black, and multiple star-shaped objects that change from black to gold are gradually changed from black to gold in order from the left. , In the expectation suggestion display displayed in the selection effect, the number of star-shaped objects indicating the expectation level of the corresponding super reach effect out of the five star-shaped objects is displayed in gold from the beginning. .

The minimum time required for switching from the title image of the super ready-to-win effect displayed in the selection effect to the title image of the next super ready-to-win effect is the number of times corresponding to the title image of the super ready-to-win effect, and pressing the push button 31B once. This is the time obtained by multiplying the time required for the operation. The time required for one operation of the push button 31B is about 80 ms, and the push button 31B needs to be operated three times when switching from the title image with the low base weak reach A effect to the title image with the low base weak reach B effect. , and the minimum required time is about 240 ms.

On the other hand, in the expectation indication of the title display part, the time for the star-shaped object to change from black to gold after being highlighted, that is, the time for the suggested expectation to change by one level is about 300 ms, and the low base weak reach A It is set longer than the minimum required time for switching from the title image of the effect to the title image of the low base weak reach B effect. For this reason, in the selected effect, the effect control CPU 120 changes the title image of the low base weak reach A effect to the low base in a time shorter than the time in which the degree of expectation suggested in the degree of expectation suggestive display of the title display part changes by one step. It is possible to switch to the title image of the weak reach B effect.

[About effects that can be executed during variable display]
FIG. 11-53 is a diagram showing effects that can be executed during variable display. Effects that can be executed during variable display include description display effects, title color change effects, and operation promotion effects AD, as shown in FIG. 11-53.

The explanation display effect is an effect that can be executed during the prologue display period in the title display parts of the low base strong reach A to C effects, and is an effect for displaying an explanation suggesting that the expectation of a big win is high.

The title color change effect is a effect that can be executed during the title display period in the title display part of the low base weak reach A effect and B effect, and is the effect of changing the color of the title characters from the initial white to red or gold.

The operation promotion performance A is a performance that can be executed in the normal reach performance, displays an operation promotion image prompting the operation of the push button 31B, and develops into the low base weak reach A performance and B performance according to the operation of the push button 31B. It is a production that informs whether or not. In addition, in the operation promotion effect A, depending on the operation of the push button 31B, not only the low base weak reach A effect and B effect, but also the low base strong reach A to C effects and the low base strongest reach effect can be configured. good.

The operation promotion effect B is an effect that can be executed at the end of the introduction part in the low base weak reach A and B effects, and displays an operation promotion image (small) or an operation promotion image (large) that prompts the operation of the push button 31B. , and indicates whether or not it will develop into one of the low base strong reach A to C effects according to the operation of the push button 31B. In addition, in the structure in which a big win is reported as a performance result in the low base weak reach A and B performances, the performance result as to whether or not a big win is reported in response to the operation of the push button 31B in the operation promotion performance B. It may be configured.

The operation promoting effect C is an effect that can be executed in the middle of the introductory part of the low base strong reach A to C effects and the strongest reach effect. This is an effect in which one of a plurality of types of cut-in images is displayed according to.

The operation promotion effect D is an effect that can be executed at the end of the introduction part in the low base weak reach A and B effects, and displays an operation promotion image (small) or an operation promotion image (large) that prompts the operation of the push button 31B. , is an effect for notifying the effect result of whether or not a big hit is achieved according to the operation of the push button 31B.

The effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute the explanatory text display effect during the variable display, whether or not to execute the title color change effect and which color to change to, and whether or not to execute the operation promotion effect A. , which of the operation prompting image (small) or the operation prompting image (large) is to be displayed in the operation prompting effect B, whether or not the operation prompting effect C is to be executed, and the cut-in image (A) or the cut-in image (B) In the advance notice effect determination process of the variable display start setting process, it is determined which of the above is to be displayed and which of the operation prompt image (small) and the operation prompt image (large) is to be displayed in the operation prompt effect D.

As shown in FIG. 11-54(A), in the advance notice effect determination process, when a variation pattern in which the low base strong reach A to C effects are executed is specified, whether or not to execute the explanatory text display effect is determined. At this time, when a variation pattern that results in a failure of the performance result is specified, non-execution is determined at a rate of 80%, and execution is determined at a rate of 20%. Further, when a variation pattern is specified in which the effect result is a big hit, non-execution is determined at a rate of 20%, and execution is determined at a rate of 80%. In this way, when a variation pattern in which the performance result is a big hit is specified, the execution of the explanatory text display effect is determined at a higher rate than when a variation pattern in which the performance result is a loss is specified, so low base strong reach A Execution of the explanation text display effect during the prologue display period in the title display part of the ~C effect suggests that the possibility of a big hit is high.

In this embodiment, the description display effect is executed during the prologue display period in the title display part, and regardless of whether the description display effect is executed in the title display parts of the low base strong reach A to C effects. However, the execution time of the low base strong reach A to C effects and the execution time of the title display part do not change, but as a variation pattern in which the low base strong reach A to C effects are performed, the first variation pattern, A second variation pattern in which the variation time is set longer than the first variation pattern, and when the first variation pattern is specified, the second variation pattern is specified without executing the explanation display effect. In this case, a configuration may be adopted in which the explanation text display effect is executed using a variation time set longer than the first variation pattern. In such a configuration, it is not determined whether or not the explanation display effect is executed in the notice effect determination process, but the explanation is determined by whether the first variation pattern or the second variation pattern is specified. It is determined whether or not to execute the display effect. At this time, by determining the first variation pattern and the second variation pattern so that the expectation of the big hit is higher when the explanation display effect is executed than when the explanation portion effect is not executed, low base strong reach It is suggested that the possibility of a big hit is high by executing the description display effect in the title display parts of the effects A to C.

As shown in FIG. 11-54(B), in the advance notice effect determination process, when a variation pattern in which the low base weak reach A and B effects are executed is specified, whether or not to execute the title color change effect , and which color is to be changed when the title color change effect is executed is determined. At this time, if a variation pattern is identified that results in a failure, non-execution (white) is determined at a rate of 80%, execution (red) is determined at a rate of 20%, and execution (gold) is determined. Not determined. Also, if a variation pattern that develops into a low-base strong reach A to C production and a low-base strongest reach production is specified, non-execution (white) is determined at a rate of 20%, and execution (red) at a rate of 75% ) is determined, and execution (gold) is determined at a rate of 5%. In this way, when a variation pattern that develops into a low-base strong reach A to C effect and a low-base strongest reach effect is specified, the title color change effect is executed at a higher rate than when a variation pattern that results in a deviation is specified. has been decided, there is a high possibility that by changing the color of the title letters in the title display part of the low base strong reach A and B production, it will develop into a low base strong reach A to C production and a low base strong reach production. It is suggested. Also, since execution (gold) is determined only when a variation pattern that develops to low base strong reach A to C production and low base strongest reach production is specified, in the title display part of low base strong reach A, B production By changing the color of the title letters to gold, it is confirmed that it will develop into a low base strong reach A to C production and a low base strongest reach production.

In addition, after the low-base weak reach A and B effects are executed, in a configuration including a variation pattern that leads to a big hit without developing into another super reach effect, if a variation pattern that leads to a big win is specified, a variation that results in a loss. The execution of the title color change effect is decided at a higher rate than when the pattern is specified, and the possibility of a big hit is high due to the change in the color of the title characters in the title display part of the low base strong reach A, B effect. may be suggested. In addition, in such a configuration, execution (gold) is determined only when a variation pattern that becomes a big hit is specified, and the color of the title characters changes to gold in the title display part of the low base strong reach A, B production. The jackpot may be determined by doing so.

As shown in FIG. 11-54 (C), in the notice effect determination process, when a variation pattern that deviates from the normal reach effect and a variation pattern that develops from the normal reach effect to the low base weak reach A and B effects are specified. , whether or not to execute the operation prompting effect A is determined. At this time, when a variation pattern that results in a deviation is specified, non-execution is determined at a rate of 50%, and execution is determined at a rate of 50%. Also, when a variation pattern that develops into low base weak reach A and B effects is identified, execution is determined at a rate of 100%. In this way, the execution is always determined when a variation pattern that develops into a low base weak reach A, B effect is specified, and the execution may be determined even when a variation pattern that results in a deviation is specified. , the possibility of developing into low base weak reach A and B effects is suggested by executing the operation promotion effect A in the normal reach effect.

As shown in FIG. 11-54 (D), in the notice effect determination process, the effect result of the low base weak reach A, B effect is a variation pattern, the low base weak reach A, B effect to the low base strong reach When a variation pattern that develops into the A to C effects and the low base strongest reach effect is specified, it is determined whether to display the operation prompting image (small) or the operation prompting image (large). At this time, when a variation pattern that results in a deviation is specified, the operation prompting image (small) is determined at a rate of 90%, and the operation prompting image (large) is determined at a rate of 10%. In addition, when a variation pattern that develops into a low-base strong reach A to C production and a low-base strongest reach production is specified, an operation promotion image (small) is determined at a rate of 10%, and an operation promotion image is determined at a rate of 90%. The image (large) is determined. In this way, when a variation pattern that develops into a low-base strong reach A to C production and a low-base strongest reach production is specified, the operation prompting image (small) is displayed at a higher rate than when a variation pattern that becomes a deviation is specified. And since the operation promotion image (large) is determined among the operation promotion images (large), the operation promotion image (large) was displayed in the operation promotion effect B at the end of the introduction part in the low base weak reach A and B productions. In this case, it is suggested that there is a high possibility of developing into low-base strong reach A to C effects and low-base strongest reach effects than when the operation prompting image (small) is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 11-54 (E), in the advance notice effect determination process, when a variation pattern is specified in which the low base strong reach A to C effects and the low base strongest reach effect are executed, the operation promotion effect C and whether to display the cut-in image (A) or the cut-in image (B) when the operation prompting effect C is to be executed. At this time, if a variation pattern is identified that results in a failure, non-execution is determined at a rate of 50%, execution (cut-in image (A)) is determined at a rate of 30%, and execution (cut-in image (A)) is determined at a rate of 20%. Execution (cut-in image (B)) is determined by the ratio. In addition, when a variation pattern that results in a big hit is specified, non-execution is determined at a rate of 5%, execution (cut-in image (A)) is determined at a rate of 30%, and execution (cut-in image (A)) is determined at a rate of 65%. , execution (cut-in image (B)) is determined. In this way, when a variation pattern in which the performance result is a big hit is specified, the execution of the operation promotion performance C is determined at a higher rate than when a variation pattern in which the performance result is a loss is specified, so the low base strong reach A Execution of the operation promotion effect C at the end of the introductory part in the ~C effect suggests that the possibility of a big hit is high. In addition, when a variation pattern in which the effect result is a big hit is specified, a cut-in image ( Since B) is displayed, the cut-in image (A) is displayed when the operation promotion effect C is executed at the end of the introduction part in the low base strong reach A to C effects and the cut-in image (B) is displayed. It is suggested that the possibility of a big hit is higher than if the

As shown in FIG. 11-54 (F), in the notice effect determination process, when a variation pattern in which the low base strong reach A to C effects and the low base strongest reach effect are executed is specified, an operation promotion image ( It is decided whether to display the operation promotion image (small) or the operation promotion image (large). At this time, when a variation pattern that results in a failure of the performance result is specified, the operation prompting image (small) is determined at a rate of 90%, and the operation prompting image (large) is determined at a rate of 10%. Further, when a variation pattern is specified in which the effect result is a big hit, the operation prompting image (small) is determined at a rate of 10%, and the operation prompting image (large) is determined at a rate of 90%. In this way, when a variation pattern in which the production result is a big hit is specified, the operation promotion image (small) and the operation promotion image (large) are selected at a higher rate than in the case where the variation pattern that results in a loss is specified. Since the image (large) is determined, when the operation promotion image (large) is displayed in the operation promotion production D at the end of the introduction part in the low base strong reach A to C production and the low base strongest reach production, the operation promotion It is suggested that the possibility of winning a big hit is higher than when the image (small) is displayed.

[Description display effects]

During the prologue display period of the title display part in the low base strong reach A to C effects, the effect control CPU 120 displays the ally character "Muyume" as shown in FIGS. 11-55(A) to (I). After that, the ally character "Muyume" is enlarged until the display area is completely filled, and when performing an explanatory text display effect during the prologue display period, the background of the ally character "Muyume" is enlarged and displayed on the front side. Display the explanation characters "Surprise!", "Peach Tree", and "Great Lucky!" in order on the layers. At this time, as shown in FIG. 11-55(A), the effect control CPU 120 first causes the explanation character "Surprise!" 11-56 (t1)), as shown in FIG. 11-55 (B), when it is moved to the vicinity of the center, it is displayed while moving to the left at a low speed (FIG. 11-56 (t2)), and then , as shown in FIG. 11-55(C), it is displayed while being moved leftward again at high speed until it disappears from the display area (FIG. 11-56(t3)).

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-55(D), the effect control CPU 120 causes the explanation character "peach tree" to be displayed while moving leftward at high speed from the right side of the display area toward the center (see FIG. 11 -56 (t4)), as shown in Fig. 11-55 (E), when it is moved to the vicinity of the center, it is displayed while moving to the left at low speed (Fig. 11-56 (t5)), and then, As shown in FIG. 11-55(F), it is displayed while being moved to the left at high speed again until it disappears from the display area (FIG. 11-56(t6)).

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-55(G), the effect control CPU 120 causes the explanation character "Big Lucky!" -56 (t7)), as shown in Fig. 11-55 (H), when it is moved to the vicinity of the center, it is displayed while moving to the left at a low speed (Fig. 11-56 (t8)), and then, As shown in FIG. 11-55(I), it is displayed while being moved to the left at high speed again until it disappears from the display area (FIG. 11-56(t9)).

[About the title color change effect]
FIG. 11-57 is a diagram showing the execution status of the title color change effect, and FIG. 11-58 is a diagram showing the timing at which the color of title characters changes in the title color change effect.

The effect control CPU 120 can execute a title color change effect for changing the white title characters to red or gold in the title display parts of the low base weak reach A and B effects.

In the title display parts of the low base weak reach A and B effects, the effect control CPU 120 causes part of the white title characters to appear from the left side of the display area during the title start period, move them toward the fixed position, and move them to the fixed position. to stop. Thereafter, during the title display period, the effect control CPU 120 causes the white title characters to be displayed stationary at a fixed position, as shown in FIG. 11-57(A). Then, when the execution of the title color change effect is not determined, the effect control CPU 120 causes the specific sound to be output from the speakers 8L and 8R after the time t1 has elapsed from the start of the title display period. As shown in -57 (B) and (C), the white title character is kept stationary at a fixed position, and then the white title character displayed at the fixed position during the title end period is moved from the fixed position. Move it to the right side of the display area until all the title characters disappear.

On the other hand, when the execution of the title color change effect is determined, the effect control CPU 120 outputs the specific sound from the speakers 8L and 8R after the time t1 has elapsed from the start of the title display period. As shown in -57 (D), if the title character displayed at the fixed position is changed to appear to glow, and after the time of t2 has elapsed, it is decided to change to red, As shown in FIG. 11-57(E), the title characters are changed to red, and if change to gold is determined, the title characters are changed to gold as shown in FIG. 11-57(F). After that, the title characters are moved from the fixed position to the right side of the display area until all the title characters disappear while maintaining the changed color displayed at the fixed position during the title ending period. In the case where the title characters are changed from shining to red or gold, the title characters are changed to red or gold when the light of the title characters shines.

As shown in FIGS. 11-58 (A) and (B), the effect time T1 of the title start period of the title display part in the low base weak reach A and B effects is 500 ms, the effect time T2 of the title display period is 2200 ms, and the title ends. The rendering time T3 of the period is set to 300 ms, and the time t1 from the start of the title display period until the title characters change to appear to glow is 800 ms. The time t2 until the title characters change to red or gold after they become visible is set to 200 ms, and the time t3 until the title display period ends after the title characters change to red or gold is set to 1200 ms. there is

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11-58(C), when the color of the title characters changes from white to red or gold, the time (t1) during which the title characters are displayed in white during the title display period is reduced. Also, in the title display period, the time (t3) during which the title characters are displayed in the changed red or gold form is longer than the time (T1+t1) during which the title characters are displayed in the white form in the title display part. Also, the time (t3+T3) during which the title characters are displayed in the changed red or gold color in the title display part is longer.

After that, as shown in FIG. 11-64(E), the second half of the title character "BONUS" is gradually reduced to a reduced size in which the entirety is visible in the display area, and is placed at a fixed position near the center of the display area. It is displayed at the bottom (position below the first half of the title character "BIG").

In this embodiment, when the jackpot game state of 6 rounds is started, "REG BONUS" is displayed as the title character, and when the jackpot game state of 10 rounds is started, "BIG BONUS" is displayed as title characters.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 11-64 (E) to (G), the effect control CPU 120 displays the entire title character "BIG BONUS" at a fixed position, and then gradually expands the title character "BIG BONUS". After that, as shown in FIG. 11-64(H), the effect during the big win is started, and the display of the image display device 5 is switched to the background of the big win game state.

When the performance control CPU 120 starts the performance during the big hit, first, as shown in FIG. Display the hitting promotion image (small).

The right-handed promotion image (small) is composed of a message "right-handed" (small) that prompts an operation to hit the game ball toward the right game area 2R, and an arrow image (small) that indicates the right direction, and effect control is performed. As shown in FIGS. 11-64 (H) and (I), the CPU 120 displays a right-handed promotion image (small) from the upper right of the display area over a period from the start of the jackpot middle effect to the end of the jackpot game state. position.

The right-handed promotion image (large) is a message that prompts an operation to hit the game ball toward the right game area 2R. It is an arrow indicating the direction, and is composed of an arrow image (large) larger in size than the arrow image (small), and the effect control CPU 120, as shown in FIGS. A right-handed promotion image (large) is repeatedly displayed in a mode of moving from the left side to the right side of the display area only for the first fixed time of the period until the end of the jackpot game state after the start of the medium presentation.

In addition, when it is controlled to the big win game state, after the title characters are displayed in the big win start production, it is switched to the big win middle production, and the operation method of the big win game state (the operation method of hitting the game ball toward the right game area 2R). ) and a right-handed promotion image (small) and a right-handed promotion image (large) are displayed. At this time, the effect control CPU 120, on the side of the main substrate 11, at a timing a predetermined time before the timing at which the control that is advantageous by operating in the operation method of hitting the game ball toward the right game area 2R is performed. The production is switched to the performance during the jackpot, and the right-handed promotion image (small) and the right-handed promotion image (large) are displayed. Therefore, it is advantageous to perform an operation in which the game ball is shot toward the right game area 2R after a predetermined period of time has passed since the right-handed promotion image (small) and right-handed promotion image (large) are displayed. Control will be performed.

In addition, the effect control CPU 120, after the title characters are displayed in the big win start effect, terminates the big win start effect, erases the title characters, and switches to the next effect. To erase the title characters of a jackpot start performance in a shorter time than the case of erasing the title characters in the end period, and to switch to the next performance.

In particular, the effect control CPU 120 switches to the effect during the big win in one frame (minimum unit of image update) after the title characters are displayed in the big win start effect, and the right hitting promotion image (small) and the right hitting promotion image. (Large) is displayed. In the title display part of the super ready-to-win production, a title end period is provided instead of one frame, and the title characters are erased over a certain amount of time, but after the title characters are displayed in the big win start production, the big win middle production is performed. , and the right-handed promotion image (small) and right-handed promotion image (large) are displayed. In some period, there is a possibility that the game ball is hit toward the right game area 2R. The game balls are wasted because the control that is advantageous by operating in the operation method of hitting toward the region 2R has not started. On the other hand, the effect control CPU 120, after displaying the title characters in the big win start effect, switches to the effect during the big win in one frame (minimum unit of image update), and displays the right-hand hitting promotion image (small) and right-hand hitting. Since the promotion image (large) is displayed, the generation of useless game balls can be suppressed.

[Regarding the display of the number of remaining rotations up to play time]
When the game control microcomputer 100 performs 900 times variable display without being controlled to a big hit in a low probability state, (1) time saving control is performed 1100 times, and (2) low probability control It is controlled to the time saving state B (in the present embodiment, the idle time of 1100 times of time saving) performed 1100 times.

In addition, the effect control CPU 120 is the number of remaining variable display times until the image display device 5 is controlled to the time saving state B (play time). (see FIG. 11-1) can be displayed.

As shown in FIG. 11-65(A), the production control CPU 120 executes normal reach production, low base weak reach A and B productions, low base strong reach A to C productions, and low base strongest reach production in the normal state. If not, the number of remaining times until play time is displayed in the upper left corner of the display area. The remaining number of times 131SG005Z until the play time is displayed as "remaining XXX times" (XXX is a numerical value from 0 to 900 according to the remaining number of times). At this time, even if the remaining number of times until the play time is 0 to 900, the remaining number of times until the play time 131SG005Z is displayed in characters of the same font size.

As shown in FIG. 11-65(B), the effect control CPU 120 continues to display the remaining number of times 131SG005Z until the play time even during execution of the normal ready-to-win effect in which the decoration pattern (large) is in the ready-to-win mode.

In addition, it is configured such that a big hit can be reported as a result of the performance of the low-base weak reach A, B performance, and when a big win is reported as a performance result of the low-base weak reach A, B performance, the low base weak reach A, B is provided. The remaining number of times 131SG005Z until the play time is continuously displayed until the performance ends, and the remaining number of times 131SG005Z until the play time is erased at the end of the low base weak reach A, B performance. It should be noted that the remaining number of times 131SG005Z until the play time may be erased at the time when the big hit is determined as the effect result of the low base weak reach A and B effects.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-65 (F), the effect control CPU 120, when it develops from normal reach effect, low base weak reach A, B effect to low base strong reach A to C effect, low base strongest reach effect Then, the remaining number of times 131SG005Z until the play time is erased with the start of the low-base strong reach A to C effects and the low-base strongest reach effect. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 erases the remaining number of times 131SG005Z until the play time at the timing when the selected effect starts when developing from the normal reach effect, and when developing from the low base weak reach A, B effect. , If it is a low base strong reach A to C production, in the prologue display period of the title display part, the remaining number 131SG005Z until play time is erased along with the pending display and active display, and if it is a low base strongest reach production, the title is displayed. At the start of the part, the remaining number of times 131SG005Z until the free time is erased.

In addition, when developing from the low base weak reach A and B effects, the hold display and active The remaining number of times 131SG005Z up to play time may be erased along with the display. As a result, regardless of whether it develops into a low base strong reach A to C production or a low base strongest reach production, it is possible to share the timing of erasing the remaining display, active display, and the remaining number of times 131SG005Z until the play time. .

After that, when the performance control CPU 120 is notified of the deviation as the performance result of the low base strong reach A to C performance and the low base strongest reach performance, as shown in FIGS. 11-65 (G) (H) After the base strong reach A to C effects and the low base strongest reach effect are finished, the remaining number of times 131SG005Z until the play time is displayed again. On the other hand, the effect control CPU 120, when a big hit is notified as the effect result of the low base strong reach A to C effects and the low base strongest reach effect, as shown in FIGS. , the remaining count 131SG005Z until the play time is erased until the normal state is reached.

In addition, in the operation promotion effect A, when it is configured to develop into the low base strong reach A to C effects and the low base strongest reach effect according to the operation of the push button 31B, during the execution of the operation promotion effect A, play time The remaining number of times 131SG005Z until the play time is displayed continuously, and the remaining number of times 131SG005Z until the play time is erased with the start of the low base strong reach A to C effects and the low base strongest reach effect. In the case of such a configuration, in the operation promotion effect A, the remaining number of times 131SG005Z until the play time is displayed, while the subsequent low base strong reach A to C effects and the operation promotion effect in the low base strongest reach effect In C and D, the remaining number of times 131SG005Z until play time is not displayed.

[Regarding play time start effect]
The game control microcomputer 100 controls to the time saving state B (play time) when the variable display is performed 900 times without being controlled to the big hit in the low probability state. At this time, the game control microcomputer 100, as shown in FIG. 11-66 (C), lights the right-handed lamp 131SG132 and transmits a right-handed LED lighting notification command. As shown in FIGS. 11-66 (A) and (B), when the variable display stops when the number of times remaining until play time is 0, and a right-handed LED lighting notification command is received, FIG. 11-66 (C) 2, a right hitting promotion image (small) is displayed to prompt an operation to hit the game ball toward the right game area 2R. The timing of lighting the right hitting lamp 131SG132 and the timing of displaying the right hitting promotion image (small) are almost the same, but the game control microcomputer 100 lights the right hitting lamp 131SG132 and then hits right. An LED lighting notification command is transmitted, and along with this, the effect control CPU 120 displays a right-handed promotion image (small), so that the right-handed lamp 131SG132 lights up before the right-handed promotion image (small) is displayed. becomes.

When the time saving state B (play time) is started, the game control microcomputer 100 keeps the right-handed lamp 131SG132 lit until the time saving state B (play time) ends. In addition, the right-handed promotion image (small) is composed of a message "right-handed" (small) that prompts an operation to hit the game ball toward the right game area 2R, and an arrow image (small) that indicates the right direction. Production control CPU120, as shown in FIGS. 11-66 (C) ~ (H), when the time saving state B (play time) starts, the right hitting promotion image until the time saving state B (play time) ends (Small) is displayed in the upper right position of the display area.

The effect control CPU 120 stops the variable display in the state of 0 times remaining until the play time, and when receiving the game state designation command designating the time saving state B (play time), FIG. 11-66 (D) ~ As shown in (G), a play time start effect is executed.

The play time start effect is a title start period from when a part of the title characters "play time rush" of the play time is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 to when it is displayed at a fixed position, and the title characters "play time rush". It includes a title display period during which ``Enter into play time'' is displayed at a fixed position, and a title end period until the display of the title characters ``Enter into play time'' displayed at the fixed position disappears and the display is switched to play time presentation.

In the title start period, title display period, and title end period of the play time start effect, the effect control CPU 120 changes the title character "6" in the title start period, title display period, and title end period of the title display part of the low base strongest reach effect. Catch Bakuchu with people!" is displayed in the same manner as the title character "Play Time Rush" is displayed.

Specifically, during the title start period, the effect control CPU 120 displays the title characters "play time rush" as shown in FIG. to display. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 causes the display area to be completely filled with a part of the title characters "Play Time Rush". Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 11-66(D) and 11-66(E), the effect control CPU 120 gradually shrinks the title characters "play time rush" so that all the characters of the title characters "play time rush" are displayed in the display area. The reduced size title character "Play Time Rush" that becomes visible in , is stopped at a fixed position.

The effect control CPU 120 displays the title characters "enter play time" in a reduced size at a fixed position during the title start period, and then shifts to the display during the title display period. During the title display period, the effect control CPU 120 causes the title characters "Play Time Rush" to remain displayed at a fixed position as shown in FIGS. 11-66(E) and (F).

After the end of the title display period, the effect control CPU 120 shifts to the display of the title end period. During the title end period, the effect control CPU 120 replaces the title characters "play time rush" displayed at a fixed position in a reduced size with the title characters "play time rush", as shown in FIGS. Expand until the display area is completely filled with a part of "Rush". At this time, the title characters "enter play time" are displayed in reduced size during the title start period, instead of being enlarged and displayed in a manner opposite to the case where the title characters "enter play time" are displayed in reduced size during the title start period. In a mode different from the reverse mode, the title characters "Enter play time" are expanded until the entire display area is filled with a part of the title characters "Enter play time". In other words, the trajectory that each part of the title character passes during the process of shrinking the title character "Enter the play time" during the title start period is the same as the trajectory that each part of the title character passes during the process that the title character "Enter the play time" expands during the title end period. is different. Therefore, the entire display area is filled with a part of the title characters "play time rush" in a manner different from the manner in which the entire display area is filled at the start of the title start period. After that, as shown in FIG. 11-66(H), the background of the play time effect is switched to start the play time effect.

During the play time start effect, the performance control CPU 120 displays a right-handed promotion image (large) that prompts an operation to launch the game ball toward the right game area 2R, in addition to the right-handed promotion image (small). An immersion warning image (message "Watch out for immersion!") is displayed below the display area.

The right-handed promotion image (large) is a message that prompts an operation to launch the game ball toward the right game area 2R. It is an arrow that indicates the direction, and is composed of an arrow image (large) that is larger in size than the arrow image (small), and the effect control CPU 120, as shown in FIGS. 11-66 (D) to (G), A right-handed promotion image (large) is repeatedly displayed in a mode of moving from the left side to the right side of the display area over the period in which the play time start performance is executed.

In addition, in this embodiment, the game control microcomputer 100 is controlled to the time saving state B, and when the variable display result is out, select the variation pattern PA1-4 with a special figure variation time of 500 ms. Variable display is performed and controlled to a time saving state B, and when the variable display result is a big hit, a variation pattern PB1-18 with a special figure variation time of 500 ms + 15000 ms is selected and variable display is performed, and a performance control CPU 120 , when the control of the time saving state B is started, the play time start effect is executed during the period in which the variable display according to these variation patterns is performed. After controlling the first variable display controlled to the time saving state B, first the first start winning opening, the second starting winning opening in the variable display based on the winning of the game ball, the variable display result is out In this case, the variation time is longer than the variation pattern PA1-4, and the time reduction B start variation pattern in which the variation time corresponding to the play time start effect is determined is selected to perform variable display, and the effect control CPU 120 is in the time reduction state. In the first variable display controlled by B, the play time start effect may be executed during the period in which the variable display by the time saving B start variation pattern is being performed. In addition, in such a configuration, the game control microcomputer 100, when the variable display result is a big hit in the first variable display controlled to the time saving state B, to the variation pattern PB1-18 with a special figure variation time of 500ms + 15000ms At the same time, the effect control CPU 120 does not execute the play time start effect, and may stop the decoration pattern (large) in a big win mode.

The red LEDs, and the decoration LEDs LS1 to LS5 are white LEDs capable of emitting monochromatic white light.

[Mechanism of output to LED driver (lamp driver)]
FIG. 11-70 is a diagram for explaining the mechanism of output to the LED driver. In this embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 mounted on the effect control board 12 sets the brightness data for lighting/flashing/extinguishing one or more of the plurality of LEDs included in the game effect lamp 9, Output to an LED driver (also called a lamp driver). In addition, below, the control of lighting / blinking / light extinction performed with respect to lamps, such as LED, by CPU120 for production|presentation control is also called lamp control. Based on the brightness data received from the effect control CPU 120, the LED driver adjusts the current flowing through each lamp in order to turn on/blink/extinguish each lamp included in the game effect lamp 9 subject to lamp control. Each game effect lamp 9 lights/blinks/lights off based on the current adjusted by the LED driver.

More specifically, the ROM 121 of the effect control board 12 stores a brightness data table storing brightness data for lamp control of each game effect lamp 9 . The luminance data table includes an error luminance data table used when an error occurs, an SP reach luminance data table used during super reach, and a background luminance data table.

Furthermore, the background brightness data table includes a normal background brightness data table used in a low probability/low base state (normal state), a fanfare background brightness data table used in a fanfare state in which a fanfare effect is executed, and a jackpot game. The jackpot background luminance data table used during the round of the state, the ending background luminance data table used in the ending state in which the ending effect that informs the end of the jackpot game state is executed, and the low probability high base state (time saving state), and a time-saving background luminance data table used in the state).

Each of the background brightness data tables described above is used without overlapping, and is controlled to any one of a plurality of game states such as a normal state, a fanfare state, a jackpot game state, an ending state, and a time saving state. One of the background luminance data tables is used depending on whether the That is, the effect control CPU 120 uses one of the background luminance data tables for each gaming state under control, and outputs luminance data based on the background luminance data table to the LED driver. As a result, each game effect lamp 9 is lamp-controlled according to the game state being controlled.

Furthermore, the priority of each of the error luminance data table, the SP reach luminance data table, and the background luminance data table is determined when they are used. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-70, the priority is higher when used in the order of the luminance data table for error, the luminance data table for SP reach, and the luminance data table for background.

For example, when the effect control CPU 120 develops into a super reach effect while outputting luminance data based on the normal background luminance data table in a normal state, the SP reach luminance data table corresponding to the super reach effect The SP reach brightness data table is used preferentially over the normal background brightness data table, and the brightness data is output to the LED driver based on the SP reach brightness data table. As a result, when the game effect lamp 9 is lamp-controlled in a mode corresponding to the normal state based on the luminance data table for normal background and the super ready-to-win effect develops, the super ready-to-win effect is supported based on the luminance data table for SP ready-to-win. The game effect lamp 9 is lamp-controlled in such a manner. While the brightness data based on the brightness data table for SP reach is being output to the LED driver, the brightness data based on the brightness data table for normal background is not output to the LED driver. When the normal state returns, luminance data based on the normal background luminance data table is output to the LED driver, and when a big hit results in a fanfare state, luminance data based on the fanfare background luminance data table is output to the LED driver. output to

More specifically, the effect control CPU 120 uses a background luminance data table corresponding to the game state under control while timing the lamp control time corresponding to the game state under control with a timer. However, if it develops into a super reach effect, etc., the luminance data table for SP reach corresponding to the super reach effect is preferentially used over the luminance data table for the background, and the luminance data is output to the LED driver. do. During this time, the effect control CPU 120 keeps updating the value of the timer without stopping the clocking of the lamp control time using the background luminance data table. In other words, the effect control CPU 120 continues to update the luminance data contained in the background luminance data table even while the game effect lamp 9 is under lamp control based on the SP ready-to-win luminance data table. Since the luminance data contained in the data table has a lower priority than the luminance data contained in the SP reach luminance data table, the luminance data contained in the background luminance data table is not output to the LED driver. ing. After the super ready-to-win effect ends, the effect control CPU 120 starts outputting the luminance data contained in the background luminance data table to the LED driver again from the continuation of the luminance data that has been continuously updated.

Also, for example, when an error occurs while outputting luminance data based on the SP reach brightness data table during the super reach effect, the effect control CPU 120 outputs the error brightness data table corresponding to the error to the SP The luminance data table for error is used preferentially over the luminance data table for reach, and the luminance data is output to the LED driver based on the luminance data table for error. Thus, if an error occurs while the game effect lamp 9 is being ramp-controlled in a manner corresponding to the super ready-to-win performance based on the brightness data table for SP reach, the game is played in a manner corresponding to the error based on the brightness data table for error. The effect lamp 9 is ramp controlled. While the brightness data based on the error brightness data table is output to the LED driver, the brightness data based on the SP reach brightness data table is not output to the LED driver, but the error is canceled and the super reach effect is performed again. When returning to the middle game state, luminance data based on the luminance data table for SP reach is output to the LED driver.

More specifically, the effect control CPU 120 uses the SP reach brightness data table corresponding to the super reach effect while timing the lamp control time corresponding to the super reach effect being controlled by the timer, and the LED driver However, if an error occurs, the luminance data table for error corresponding to the error is preferentially used over the luminance data table for SP reach and the luminance data is output to the LED driver. During this time, the effect control CPU 120 keeps updating the value of the timer without stopping the time measurement of the lamp control using the brightness data table for SP reach. In other words, the effect control CPU 120 continues to update the brightness data included in the brightness data table for SP reach even while performing lamp control of the game effect lamp 9 based on the brightness data table for error, but Since the luminance data contained in the luminance data table has a lower priority than the luminance data contained in the error luminance data table, the luminance data contained in the SP reach luminance data table should not be output to the LED driver. It's becoming After the error is released, the effect control CPU 120 starts outputting the luminance data contained in the luminance data table for SP reach to the LED driver again from the continuation of the luminance data that has been continuously updated.

[Lighting Mode of Game Effect Lamp]
In this embodiment, each game effect lamp 9 is lamp-controlled by outputting luminance data to the LED driver by the performance control CPU 120 as described above. In this embodiment, as terms relating to the lighting of each game effect lamp 9, "extinguishing", "substantially extinguishing", "lit", and "blinking" are used. Further, as described above, the mode of each game effect lamp 9 by "lighting" and "blinking" is also referred to as "lighting mode".

The term "lights off" includes a state in which the game effect lamp 9 is not lit and the brightness is zero. The term "almost extinguished" includes a state in which the game effect lamp 9 is lit but its brightness is extremely low (for example, brightness "1" to be described later).

For example, when RGB (Red, Green, Blue) data defined as luminance data is "000", the corresponding LED is "turned off". Further, when the luminance data (RGB data) is "111", the corresponding LED lights in white with extremely low luminance. In this embodiment, such an LED state in which the RGB data is "111" may be referred to as "almost extinguished" for convenience.

When the R (Red) data defined as the luminance data of the logos LEDLL1 to LL4 is "0", the logos LEDLL1 to LL4 are "turned off". Also, when the luminance data (R data) of the logo LEDs LL1 to LL4 is "1", the logo LEDs LL1 to LL4 are lit with extremely low luminance. In this embodiment, the state of the logo LEDs LL1 to LL4 in which the R data is "1" may be referred to as "substantially off" for the sake of convenience.

When W (White) data defined as luminance data of the decoration LEDs LS1 to LS5 is "0", the decoration LEDs LS1 to LS5 are "turned off". Further, when the luminance data (data of W) of the decoration LEDs LS1 to LS5 is "1", the decoration LEDs LS1 to LS5 are turned on with extremely low luminance. In this embodiment, the state of the logo LEDs LL1 to LL4 in which the data of W is "1" may be referred to as "substantially off" for the sake of convenience.

The term "lighting" includes constant lighting, in which the game effect lamp 9 is always lit, wave lighting, in which a plurality of lined lamps included in the game effect lamp 9 are sequentially switched from off to on, and lighting when the game effect lamp 9 is on. It also includes haze lighting that dimly lights while changing the luminance. Specifically, "lighting" includes lighting of the game effect lamp 9 when the luminance data is any one of "2" to "F". The brightness data is hexadecimal data and can be specified from "0" to "F", where "0" is no brightness, "1" is the lowest brightness, and "F" is the highest brightness. becomes higher.

The term "blinking" refers to a mode other than the above-described "turning off" or "turning on" of the game effect lamp 9, in which the lighting luminance of each lamp is a first luminance and a second luminance higher than the first luminance. including alternately switching between For example, "blinking" includes repeating turning on and off or almost off. This includes switching between the case where the luminance data is "0" and "1" with the lapse of time. As described above, in this embodiment, the lighting mode of the lamp is haze lighting. Blinking is different in that the entire lamp included in the game effect lamp 9 repeats lighting and extinguishing or substantially extinguishing.

[Explanation about game effect lamp]
Next, lamp control of the game effect lamp 9 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-71 to 12-36.

[Regarding lamp control of game effect lamps using luminance data table]
The effect control CPU 120 uses the luminance data table stored in the ROM 121 to light/blink/extinguish one or more of the plurality of lamps included in the game effect lamp 9 by lamp control.

Specifically, the display control unit 123 sets the sub-variation time according to the variation pattern command transmitted from the CPU 103 mounted on the main board 11 . The sub-fluctuation time is a counter that is decremented by 1 in one frame (33 ms) of the displayed image. The display control unit 123 controls the image data (moving image data, The display control of the image display device 5 is performed based on the animation data). The display control unit 123 provides an extended command (for example, an extended command BXXX (where "X" is an arbitrary Alphanumeric characters)) is set, and the extension command is transmitted to the effect control CPU 120 . The effect control CPU 120 identifies the address of the parent table corresponding to the effect display (effect scene) whose display is controlled by the display control unit 123 based on the extended command received from the display control unit 123 .

FIG. 11-71 is a diagram for explaining an example of lamp control using a brightness data table. As shown in FIG. 11-71, for example, when the display control unit 123 performs display control in the title display part of the low base weak reach A effect, an extension for designating the title display part of the low base weak reach A effect Command (B421) is transmitted to CPU120 for production control. Based on the extension command received from the display control unit 123, the effect control CPU 120 specifies the address of the parent table (weak reach system common title (parent)) corresponding to the title display part of the low base weak reach A effect.

In the parent table, information specifying a lamp (lighting position) to be subjected to lamp control among the various lamps included in the game effect lamp 9 and corresponding to the lamp to be subjected to lamp control are referenced during lamp control. and information specifying the maximum time for which lamp control is performed are stored. Note that the parent table stores only information about lamps that are subject to lamp control, and does not store information about lamps that are not subject to lamp control.

For example, in the parent table shown in FIG. 11-74, frame LEDs LWL1 to LWL12 and frame LEDs LWR2 to LWR12 (XD_A_LWU_1_B421), logo LEDs LL1 to LL4 (XD_A_LLOGO_B421), decorative LEDs LS1 to LS5 (XD_A_LSLMP_B421), and attacker lamp LA1 are used as lamp control targets. ~ LA4 (XD_A_LATAK_B421) is specified. Also, a child table: XD_J_LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE is specified corresponding to the frames LEDLWL1 to LWL12 and the frames LEDLWR2 to LWR12, and 600000 ms (600000/10) is specified as the maximum time for lamp control by this child table. Child table: XD_J_LLOGO_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE is specified corresponding to LL4, 600000 ms (600000/10) is specified as the maximum time for lamp control by this child table, and child table: XD_J_LSLMP_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE is specified corresponding to decoration LEDs LS1 to LS5. 600000 ms (600000/10) is specified as the maximum time during which lamp control is performed by this child table. 600000 ms (600000/10) is specified as the maximum time during which the

As shown in FIG. 11-71, the effect control CPU 120 controls the lamp specified in the parent table by the specified child table. If so, the counter is decremented by 1 every 10 ms to count this 600000 ms (10 minutes). That is, the effect control CPU 120 counts 600000 ms (10 minutes) by executing the counter subtraction process 60000 times. The effect control CPU 120 controls the target lamp using the child table specified by the parent table until a maximum of 600000 ms (10 minutes) is clocked. In addition, the effect control CPU120, after receiving the extension command, before timing a maximum of 600000ms (10 minutes), if another extension command is newly received, the lamp control being executed is canceled, A child table specified by the parent table specified by the extended command received in the second is used to perform lamp control of the target lamp. Although it is not assumed that the effect display (effect scene) requires 600,000 ms, the maximum time for lamp control by the child table is set to 600,000 ms, which is significantly longer than the time required for the effect display (effect scene). Even if the effect control CPU 120 does not receive the next extended command for some reason, the lamp control being executed can be continued for a maximum of 600000 ms (10 minutes).

In the child table, for each lamp (lighting position) to be subjected to lamp control among various lamps included in the game effect lamp 9, information designating a grandchild table to be referred to during lamp control and lamp control is performed. Information specifying the execution time is stored in the order in which each lamp control is executed.

For example, in the child table shown in FIG. 11-75, lamp control is performed by a grandchild table: XD___LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE1_1 and this grandchild table corresponding to frame LEDLWL1 to LWL12 and frame LEDLWR2 to LWR12 (XD_J_LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE).

As shown in FIG. 11-71, the effect control CPU 120 uses, for example, the first designated grandchild table to control the target lamp using the grandchild table designated by the child table. After performing the lamp control of the lamp of interest and measuring the execution time corresponding to this grandchild table, the process of performing the lamp control of the target lamp using the next specified grandchild table is performed on all the specified grandchild tables. are to be performed in the specified order. For example, in the case of the child table shown in FIG. 11-75, for frame LEDLWL1 to LWL12 and frame LEDLWR2 to LWR12, lamp control is performed by grandchild table: XD___LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE1_1 until 500 ms is clocked first, and then the grandchild table is controlled until 500 ms is clocked. Lamp control by table: XD___LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE1_2, then ramp control by grandchild table: XD___LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE1_3 until 230 ms is clocked, then ramp control by grandchild table: XD___LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE1_2 until clocking 600000 ms. Although it is not assumed that the effect display (effect scene) requires 600,000 ms, the maximum time for lamp control by the grandchild table specified last is 600,000 ms, which is significantly longer than the time required for the effect display (effect scene). By setting , even if the effect control CPU 120 does not receive the next extended command for some reason, it is possible to continue the lamp control being executed for a maximum of 600000 ms (10 minutes).

In the child table, when the frames LEDLWL1 to LWL12 and the frames LEDLWR2 to LWR12 are the targets of the lamp control, the grandchild tables corresponding to the frames LEDLWL1 to LWL12 and the frames LEDLWR2 to LWR12 are, for example, as shown in FIG. , one grandchild table: XD___LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE1_1 is specified, and two grandchild tables: XD___LWU_1_KYOTSU_CHANCE_AKA1_1 and XD___LWU_2_KYOTSU_CHANCE_AKA1_1 are specified as shown in FIG. 11-75. Then, when one grandchild table is specified as the grandchild table corresponding to the frames LEDLWL1 to LWL12 and the frames LEDLWR2 to LWR12, the effect control CPU 120 uses the one grandchild table to create the frames LEDLWL1 to LWL12 and the frame LEDLWL1 to LWL12. The same lamp control is performed for both LEDs LWR2 to LWR12. On the other hand, when two grandchild tables are specified as grandchild tables corresponding to the frames LEDLWL1 to LWL12 and the frames LEDLWR2 to LWR12, the effect control CPU 120 uses one of the two grandchild tables to create a frame. Lamp control of LEDLWL1 to LWL12 is performed, and lamp control of frame LEDLWR2 to LWR12 is performed using the other grandchild table. Therefore, when one grandchild table is specified as a grandchild table corresponding to the frame LEDs LWL1 to LWL12 and the frame LEDs LWR2 to LWR12, common lamp control is performed for the frame LEDs LWL1 to LWL12 and the frame LEDs LWR2 to LWR12. On the other hand, when two grandchild tables are specified, individual lamp control is performed for the frames LEDLWL1 to LWL12 and the frames LEDLWR2 to LWR12.

The luminance data value corresponds to the current value output to the lamp that is the object of lamp control. The frame LEDs LWL1 to LWL12, the frame LEDs LWR2 to LWR12, and the attacker lamps LA1 to LA4 are composed of LEDs composed of three elements "R", "G", and "B". corresponds to the current value output for Specifically, the luminance data is divided into 16 levels of current values from 0 to F. When the luminance data is 0, the current value is the lowest value (for example, 0), and when the luminance data is F The current value becomes the maximum value. For example, when luminance data of “A” is output to the element of “R”, a current corresponding to the luminance data of “A” flows through the element of “R”, and an element of “G” receives “1”. When the luminance data is output, a current corresponding to the luminance data of "1" flows through the element of "G", and when the luminance data of "F" is output to the element of "G", the current corresponding to the luminance data of "F" is output. A current corresponding to the luminance data of 'G' flows through the element 'G'.

The frame LEDs LWL1 to LWL12, the frame LEDs LWR2 to LWR12, and the attacker lamps LA1 to LA4 can emit light in various colors by causing currents corresponding to luminance data to flow through the RGB elements. Further, the frame LEDs LWL1 to LWL12, the frame LEDs LWR2 to LWR12, and the attacker lamps LA1 to LA4 can be lit in colors corresponding to each effect or character by light emission based on luminance data. As an example, data "F00" is output from the LED lamp to the LED as luminance data, and the current corresponding to the data flows, thereby lighting the LED in red. Further, data of "F0F" is output from the LED lamp to the LED as luminance data, and a current corresponding to the data flows, thereby lighting the LED in reddish purple. In addition, the data "FF0" is output from the LED lamp to the LED as luminance data, and a current corresponding to the data flows, thereby lighting the LED in yellow.

In addition, the logo LEDs LL1 to LL4 can emit red light with a luminance corresponding to the luminance data by flowing a current corresponding to the luminance data to the R (red) element, and the decorative LEDs LS1 to LS5 A current corresponding to the luminance data flows evenly through the three elements R, G, and B, so that white light having a luminance corresponding to the luminance data can be emitted.

As shown in FIG. 11-71, the effect control CPU 120 outputs, for example, the first designated luminance data to the LED driver when performing lamp control with reference to the luminance data of the grandchild table for the target lamp. Then, after measuring the execution time corresponding to this luminance data, the process of outputting the next designated luminance data to the LED driver is performed for all the designated luminance data in the designated order. there is For example, in the child table shown in FIG. 11-75, for frame LEDs LWL1 to LWL12 and frame LEDs LWR2 to LWR12, brightness data: 0x000000, 0x000000, 0x000000, 0x000000, 0x000000, 0x000000 is sent to the LED driver until the first 100 ms is measured. 0x000000, 0x000000, 0x000000, 0x000000, 0x000000, 0x000000 is output to the LED driver until the next 120ms is clocked, and the brightness data is output to the LED driver until the next 120ms is clocked: 0x000000, 0x000000, 0x0000 00, 0x000000, 0x000000 , Output 0x000000 to the LED driver, then output 0x5AA5AA, 0x5AA5AA, 0x5AA5AA, 0x5AA5AA, 0x5AA5AA, 0x5AA5AA to the LED driver, then output 0x5AA5AA, 0x5AA5AA, 0x5AA5AA, until 40ms Output 0x5AA5AA, 0x5AA5AA, 0x5AA5AA to the LED driver. Then, based on the received luminance data, the LED driver causes a current corresponding to the luminance data to flow through the designated LED. Thereby, the effect control CPU 120 can lamp-control each lamp included in the game effect lamp 9 via the LED driver.

As described above, the effect control CPU 120 has a timer corresponding to each of the parent table, the child table, and the grandchild table. Lamp control is performed based on the table, child table, and grandchild table.

Specifically, the effect control CPU 120 starts outputting the luminance data from the first specified location of the grandchild table, and when the output of the luminance data is completed up to the last specified location of the grandchild table, the grandchild table is output. If the value of the timer corresponding to the specified child table still remains, output of luminance data is started again from the first specified location of the corresponding grandchild table. On the other hand, when the value of the timer corresponding to the child table designating the grandchild table becomes 0 while the luminance data is being output based on the grandchild table, the effect control CPU 120 outputs the child table. A timer corresponding to another child table specified by the parent table specifying is set, and output of luminance data is started from the first specified location of the grandchild table specified by the child table. As a result, the grandchild table is switched, and lamp control is performed based on the grandchild table after switching.

The timer management of the child table by the effect control CPU 120 will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 11-72 is a diagram for explaining an example of lamp control using a grandchild table by timer management of the child table. As shown in FIG. 11-72, in the child table: XD_J_LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE, 500 ms is specified as the time at which lamp control is first performed for frame LEDs LWL1 to LWL12, and the grandchild table: XD___LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE1_1 is specified. 500 ms is specified as the time to perform lamp control, grandchild table: XD___LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE1_2 is specified, 230 ms is specified as the time to perform lamp control in the third, and grandchild table: XD___LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE1_3 is specified, 600000 ms is specified as the fourth lamp control time, and the grandchild table: XD___LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE1_2 is specified. Second and fourth grandchild tables: XD___LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE1_2, for frame LEDs LWL1 to LWL12, "0x5AA499, 0x388499, 0x5AA499, 0x388499, 0x5AA499, 0x388499", "0x4 995AA, 0x499388, 0x4995AA, 0x499388, 0x4995AA, 0x499388", "0x388499, 0x5AA499, 0x388499, 0x5AA499, 0x388499, 0x5AA499", "0x499388, 0x4995AA, 0x499388, 0x4995AA, 0x499 388, 0x4995AA” is specified to be executed at 100 ms intervals. For convenience of explanation, the brightness data in the first 100 ms is called data 1, the brightness data in the second 100 ms is called data 2, the brightness data in the third 100 ms is called data 3, and the brightness data in the fourth 100 ms is called data 4. .

The effect control CPU 120 measures 500 ms specified by subtracting 1 from the counter every 10 ms when performing lamp control for the second specified grandchild table: XD_J_LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE of the child table: XD_J_LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE. Until reaches 500ms: XD___LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE1_2 based on XD___LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE1_2, outputs data 1, data 2, data 3, and data 4 to the LED driver at intervals of 100ms, but after outputting data 1 to data 4, the timing is still 500ms. If it has not reached , the luminance data are output to the LED driver in order from the first data 1 again. When the clock reaches 500 ms, the effect control CPU 120 stops outputting luminance data based on the grandchild table: XD___LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE1_2 at that point, and outputs luminance data based on the next grandchild table: XD___LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE1_3 specified by the child table. to start.

In addition, the effect control CPU 120 measures 600000 ms specified by subtracting 1 from the counter every 10 ms when performing lamp control for the fourth specified grandchild table: XD_J_LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE of the child table: XD_J_LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE, Until the time reaches 600000ms: Based on XD___LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE1_2, the luminance data of data 1, data 2, data 3, and data 4 are output to the LED driver at intervals of 100ms, but after data 1 to data 4 are output, the time is still measured. has not reached 600000 ms, the luminance data are output to the LED driver in order from the first data 1 again. When the clock reaches 600000 ms, the effect control CPU 120 stops outputting luminance data based on the grandchild table: XD___LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE1_2. At this time, since the next grandchild table is not specified in the child table, the output of the luminance data based on the first grandchild table specified in the child table: XD___LWU_1_JAKU_KYOTU_TYTLE1_1 will start, but some kind of abnormality should occur. By receiving the next extended command from the display control unit 123 before the measured time reaches 600000 ms, the parent table, child table, and table designated by the newly received extended command are displayed. Output of luminance data based on the grandchild table is started.

As in the parent table shown in FIG. 11-74, 600000 ms (10 minutes) is specified as the maximum time for lamp control by the child table, and the 10-minute data in such a parent table plays a role in troubleshooting. responsible for That is, the effect control CPU 120 performs lamp control by switching the parent table based on the effect control command from the main board 11, but some trouble occurs while the lamp control is being performed based on a certain parent table, and the effect occurs. Even if the control CPU 120 does not receive the effect control command from the main board 11, lamp control is performed based on the same parent table for 10 minutes, so different lamp controls are performed one after another from the point where a problem occurs. You can prevent it from being lost.

Also, as in the child table shown in FIG. 11-75, 600000 ms (10 minutes) is specified as the lamp control execution time by the last specified grandchild table. , when the value of the timer corresponding to the child table becomes 0, the timer of the parent table still remains, so that the lamp control is performed again by the grandchild table specified first of the child table. Play a preventative role.

Further, in the grandchild table, 600000 ms (10 minutes) may be specified as the execution time of the lamp control that refers to the brightness data specified last. When the value of the timer corresponding to the minute data of the grandchild table becomes 0, the timer of the child table still remains, so the lamp control is again performed by the luminance data specified first in the grandchild table. It will play a role in preventing it from being put away. In this way, by setting the brightness data specified at the end of the grandchild table to be 10-minute data, the lamp is maintained with a predetermined light emission, thereby preventing the problem that the lighting of the lamp continues to change. can be done. Furthermore, if the luminance data for 600000 ms (10 minutes) is specified at the end of the grandchild table specified at the end of the child table, it is possible to more effectively prevent the problem that the lighting of the lamp continues to change. can.

[Regarding the luminance data table used for super reach effect 1]
FIG. 11-73 is a diagram showing a luminance data table used for the super ready-to-win effect.

The execution time of the title display part is the same between the low base weak reach A effect and the low base weak reach B effect, and as shown in FIG. 11-73, the effect control CPU 120 executes the low base weak reach A effect. Also, when executing the low base weak reach B effect, in the title display part, a common weak reach type common title that defines the light emission mode of the title display parts of the low base weak reach A and B effects as a luminance data table is used to control the game effect lamp 9 .

In addition, the effect control CPU 120 executes the title color change effect in the title display part when executing the low base weak reach A and B effects, and when changing the title characters to red, the low base weak reach A Whether it is the title display part of the production or the title display part of the low base weak reach B production, there is a common brightness data table that defines the lighting mode when changing the title character to red in the title color change production. The game effect lamp 9 is controlled using the title common chance-up red, the title color change effect is executed in the title display part, and when the title characters are changed to gold, the title is displayed with the low base weak reach A effect. Whether it is a part or a title display part with a low base weak reach B effect, a common title common chance up that defines the lighting mode when changing the title character to gold in the title color change effect as a luminance data table Lamp control of the game effect lamp 9 is performed using money.

The execution time of the introduction part differs between the low base weak reach A effect and the low base weak reach B effect, and as shown in FIG. 11-73, when executing the low base weak reach A effect, in the introduction part, the luminance data table When performing lamp control of the game effect lamp 9 using the weak reach system weak reach A introduction that defines the light emission mode peculiar to the introduction part of the low base weak reach A effect, and executing the low base weak reach B effect, introduction In the part, lamp control of the game effect lamp 9 is performed using the weak reach type weak reach B introduction that defines the light emission mode peculiar to the introduction part of the low base weak reach B effect as the luminance data table.

The execution time of the title display part is the same in the low base strong reach A effect, the low base strong reach B effect and the low base strong reach C effect, and as shown in FIG.

By doing so, you can make the title display part easier to understand.

[Effect 10]
In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the super reach effect both in the normal state and in the probability variable state which is more advantageous than the normal state. The super ready-to-win effect in the normal state and the super ready-to-win effect in the variable probability state include both a title display part for displaying the corresponding title characters and an introduction part until the effect result is notified. Also, unlike the execution time of the title display part in the super reach effect in the normal state (T1-1 to 2, T2-1 to 3, T3) and the execution time of the title display part in the super reach effect in the probability variable state (T4) In both cases, the title display part consists of the title start period from when the title character starts to be displayed at the fixed position, the title display period when it is displayed at the fixed position, and the end of the display from the fixed position display. It consists of a title end period until Then, in both the title display part in the super reach effect in the normal state and the title display part in the super reach effect in the variable state, the title display period is longer than the title start period and the title end period, and the title start period is the title end period. Causes title characters to be displayed longer than . By doing so, even if the execution time of the title display part is different between the super reach effect in the normal state and the super reach effect in the variable probability state, the title display period displayed at the fixed position is maximized. You can draw attention to the type of characters. Also, even if the execution time of the title display part is different between the super reach effect in the normal state and the super reach effect in the variable probability state, the title start period until the title is displayed at the fixed position is displayed from the fixed position to the end of the display. By setting the time to be longer than the title end period of , it is possible to incite which title character is displayed. Also, even if the execution time of the title display part is different between the super reach effect in the normal state and the super reach effect in the probability variable state, by making the relationship between the execution time of the title start period, title display period, and title end period common , the title display part can be made easier to understand.

In addition, the execution time (T4) of the title display part of the super reach effect in the variable probability state is longer than the execution time of the title display part (T1-1 to 2, T2-1 to 3, T3) of the super reach effect in the normal state. Since the execution time of the title display part in the super reach performance executed in the short and variable probability state is relatively short, the game in the variable probability state can be progressed at a good tempo, while the title display in the super reach performance executed in the normal state. Since the execution time of the part is relatively long, it can be firmly agitated.

In addition, regardless of the type of the super reach performance executed in the probability variable state, the expectation of a big hit is higher than the low-base weak reach A and B performances, which have a low degree of expectation for a big hit among the super reach performances executed in the normal state. Even if the execution time of the title display part is relatively short in the super ready-to-win performance executed in a variable probability state, a big win can be expected only by executing the super ready-to-win` performance.

In addition, the super reach effect executed in the variable probability state has the same execution time of the super reach effect and the execution time of the title display part regardless of the type, but among the super reach effects executed in the normal state Low base with low expectations for big hits Low reach Expectations for big hits are higher than A and B productions, and regardless of the type of super reach production executed in the variable probability state, the execution time of the super reach production and the execution time of the title display part Even if they are the same, a big win can be expected only by executing the super ready-to-win effect.

In addition, among the super reach productions executed in the normal state, the execution time of the title display part in the low base strong reach A to C productions, which have higher expectations for big hits than the low base weak reach A and B productions, is the low base weak reach. It is set longer than the execution time of the title display part in the AB production, and the execution time of the title display part in the low base strongest reach production, which has a higher expectation for a big hit than the low base strong reach A to C productions, is the low base strong reach. It is set longer than the execution time of the title display part in the A to C productions. By doing so, in the normal state, the execution time of the title display part is longer in the super ready-to-win effect with a higher expectation of a big hit, so that the player can be strongly encouraged.

Also, among the super reach performances executed in the normal state, a title display period in which the title characters are displayed at a fixed position in the low base strong reach A to C performances with higher expectations for big hits than the low base weak reach A and B performances. is set longer than the execution time of the title display period in the low base weak reach AB production, and the title display period in the low base strongest reach production, which has a higher expectation of a big hit than the low base strong reach A to C productions. is set longer than the execution time of the title display period in the low base strong reach A to C effects. In this way, in the normal state, the higher the expectation of a big hit, the longer the execution time of the title display period in which the title characters are displayed at the fixed position, the longer the execution time of the super ready-to-win performance, so that the player can be strongly encouraged.

[Effect 11]
In this embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 can execute a super ready-to-win effect. The super ready-to-win effect includes both a title display part for displaying corresponding title characters and an introductory part until the effect result is announced. In addition, the title display part includes a title start period from when the title character is displayed until it is displayed at a fixed position, a title display period during which the title character is displayed at a fixed position, and a display end from the fixed position display. It consists of a title end period until In the title display part, title characters are displayed such that the title display period is longer than the title start period and the title end period, and the title start period is longer than the title end period. By doing so, it is possible to draw attention to the type of title character by making the title display period displayed at the fixed position the longest. Also, by setting the title start period until the title character is displayed at the fixed position to be longer than the title end period from the display at the fixed position to the end of the display, it is possible to stimulate which title character is displayed. Also, even if the execution time of the title display part is different between the super reach effect in the normal state and the super reach effect in the probability variable state, by making the relationship between the execution time of the title start period, title display period, and title end period common , the title display part can be made easier to understand.

By doing so, the title characters corresponding to the low-base strongest reach production and the low-base strong reach A to C productions are larger in size than the expectation level suggestive display, and the form of the title characters suggests the level of expectation. Therefore, the attention of the player is attracted, but by displaying the expectation level suggestion display before the title characters, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the expectation level suggestion first. In addition, since the expectation suggestive display is performed in a common manner whether the title characters are displayed in white or in red, attention can be drawn to the subsequent title characters.

[Effect 13]
In this embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 can execute a low-base strong reach B effect and a low-base strong reach C effect with a higher expectation of a big hit than the low-base strong reach B effect. The low base strong reach B and C productions include both a title display part for displaying the corresponding title characters and an introduction part until the production result is notified. In addition, in the title display part of the low base strong reach B production, the expectation indication display is displayed in the first mode (3.5 stars), and in the title display part of the low base strong reach C production, the second mode (4 stars ) to display the expectation indication. At this time, both the expectation suggestive display in the title display part of the low base strong reach B effect and the expectation suggestive display in the title display part of the low base strong reach C effect are highlighted in a common manner. By doing so, even when the expectation level suggestive display is displayed in the first mode in the title display part in the low base strong reach B production, it is displayed in the second mode in the title display part in the low base strong reach C production. Also when displaying the expectation level suggestive display, the development cost can be reduced by making the highlight display a common mode.

In addition, the expectation level suggestion display is composed of a plurality of star-shaped objects, and in the low base strong reach B production, the expectation level is suggested by N (N is an integer) + 0.5 (3.5) objects, In the low-base strong reach C presentation, the degree of expectation is suggested by N+1 (4) objects, and each star-shaped object is highlighted. Even when five objects are highlighted, they are highlighted in a common manner. By doing so, it is possible to perform highlighting in a common manner whether one star-shaped object is highlighted or 0.5 star-shaped objects are highlighted. can reduce development costs.

In addition, in the expectation suggestive display, the time during which one star-shaped object is highlighted and the time during which 0.5 star-shaped objects are highlighted are common. By doing so, the time for highlighting one star-shaped object and the time for highlighting 0.5 star-shaped objects are made common, thereby reducing the development cost. can be done.

In addition, in the expectation suggestive display, a common expectation suggestive sound is output both when one star-shaped object is highlighted and when 0.5 star-shaped objects are highlighted. . In this way, a common expectation suggestive sound is output whether one star-shaped object is highlighted or 0.5 star-shaped objects are highlighted. This can reduce development costs.

In addition, the effect control CPU 120 uses a luminance data table composed of luminance data to control the game effect lamps 9 (frame LEDs LWL1 to LWL12, frame LEDs LWR2 to LWR12, logos LEDLL1 to LL4, decorative LEDs LS1 to LS5, attacker lamps LA1 to LA4. ), and control the game effect lamp 9 using the brightness data table for title display (common title for strong base type) in the title display part of the low base strong reach B and C production, and control the low base strong reach In the introductory parts of the B and C effects, the game effect lamp 9 is controlled using the brightness data tables for the respective introductory parts (strong reach system strong reach B introduction, strong reach system strong reach C introduction). By doing so, in the title display parts of the low base strong reach B and C effects, the game effect lamp 9 is controlled using the brightness data table for title display different from the brightness data table for the introductory part. , the game effect lamp 9 can be caused to emit light in a suitable light emission mode according to the title display.

The game effect lamp 9 can be caused to emit light in this manner, and as a result, the title can be preferably displayed.

[Effect 14]
In this embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the low base strong reach A to C effects, the low base strongest reach effect, and the high base reach AD effects. Low base strong reach A-C production, low base strongest reach production, and high base reach A-D production are either a title display part that displays the corresponding title characters or an introduction part until the production result is announced. Also includes In addition, in the title display parts of the low base strong reach A to C effects, the low base strongest reach effects, and the high base reach A to D effects, it is possible to display an expectation suggestive display composed of a plurality of star-shaped objects. Then, in the expectation suggestive display, the first star-shaped object is highlighted, and then the second star-shaped object is highlighted while continuing the highlighting of the first star-shaped object. After that, the highlighting of the first star-shaped object is ended, and the highlighting of the third star-shaped object is performed. By doing so, in the expectation suggestion display, the highlighting of the second star-shaped object starts before the highlighting of the first star-shaped object ends, but the highlighting of the third star-shaped object ends. Since the highlighting of the objects does not start until the highlighting of the first star-shaped object is completed, it is easy to recognize the number of objects that indicate the degree of expectation of a big win.

In addition, in the expectation suggestive display, each time a star-shaped object is highlighted, an expectation-suggestive sound is output. A sound indicating the degree of expectation of highlighting for the object is output. By doing so, the emphasized sound for highlighting one object does not overlap with the emphasized sound for highlighting the next object, so that the number of objects suggesting the degree of expectation can be easily recognized.

In addition, the indication indicating the degree of expectation is composed of a plurality of star-shaped objects and the character "expectation" indicating that the star-shaped object indicates the degree of expectation. ” in a size that overlaps. By doing so, it is possible to draw attention to both the plurality of star-shaped objects constituting the expectation suggestive display and the character indicating that the star-shaped object indicates the degree of expectation by highlighting the star-shaped object. .

In this embodiment, when highlighting some star-shaped objects out of a plurality of star-shaped objects, the highlighting of the star-shaped objects is performed with characters indicating that the star-shaped objects indicate expectations. Although it is superimposed, for all star-shaped objects, the highlighting of the star-shaped objects may be superimposed on characters indicating that the star-shaped objects indicate the degree of expectation.

[Effect 15]
In this embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the low base strong reach A to C effects, the low base strongest reach effect, and the high base reach AD effects. Low base strong reach A-C production, low base strongest reach production, and high base reach A-D production are either a title display part that displays the corresponding title characters or an introduction part until the production result is announced. Also includes In addition, it is possible to display multiple pending displays corresponding to variable displays that have not yet started, and multiple displays can be displayed in the title display part of the low base strong reach A to C production, the low base strongest reach production, and the high base reach A to D production. An expectation indication made up of star-shaped objects can be displayed. Then, in the title display parts of the low-base strong reach A to C effects, the low-base strongest reach effects, and the high-base reach A to D effects, the hold display is not displayed at the same time as the expectation suggestion display. By doing so, the expectation suggestive display composed of a plurality of objects is displayed in the title display part of the low-base strong reach A to C production, the low-base strongest reach production, and the high-base reach A to D production. Since the pending display is not displayed at the same time as the expectation suggesting display, it is possible to prevent the pending display from being erroneously recognized as the expectation suggesting display.

In particular, the maximum number of active indications corresponding to pending indications and initiated variable indications will match the maximum number of star objects that make up the expectations indication, but the maximum number of pending indications and active indications Even if low base strong reach A to C effects, low base strongest reach effects, and high base reach A to D effects are executed in the displayed situation, the pending display and active display constitute the expectation indication display. It is possible to prevent erroneous recognition that the maximum number of is displayed.

Further, by erasing the pending display when the single-color display effect in which the display area is displayed in a single color is executed before the start of the title display part, the pending display can be ended without discomfort.

In addition, the effect control CPU 120 uses a luminance data table composed of luminance data to control the game effect lamps 9 (frame LEDs LWL1 to LWL12, frame LEDs LWR2 to LWR12, logos LEDLL1 to LL4, decorative LEDs LS1 to LS5, attacker lamps LA1 to LA4. ), and in the title display part of low base strong reach A to C production and high base reach A to D production, brightness data table for title display (common title for strong base system, high base, high base reach system Common title) is used to control the game effect lamp 9, and in the introduction part of the low base strong reach A to C production and the high base reach A to D production, the brightness data table for the introduction part (strong reach system strong reach A introduction , strong reach type strong reach B introduction, strong reach type strong reach C introduction, high base reach type reach A introduction, high base reach type reach B introduction, high base reach type reach C introduction, high base reach type reach D introduction) to control the game effect lamp 9. By doing so, in the title display parts of the low base strong reach A to C production and the high base reach A to D production, the game is played using the brightness data table for title display that is different from the brightness data table for the introduction part. Since the effect lamp 9 is controlled, the game effect lamp 9 can be illuminated in a suitable light emission mode according to the title display. As a result of these, title display can be preferably performed.

In addition, in the low base strongest reach effect, in the title display part and the introduction part, the game effect lamp 9 is controlled using one luminance data table (strongest reach title introduction) corresponding to the title display part and the introduction part. However, in the title display part of the low base strongest reach effect, the luminance data table for title display (brightness data table composed of luminance data corresponding to the title display part of the low base strongest reach effect (strongest reach type strongest reach title) ) is used to control the game effect lamp 9, and in the introductory part of the low-base strongest reach effect, the luminance data table for the introductory part (brightness data composed of luminance data corresponding to the title display part of the low-base strongest reach effect A table (strongest reach type strongest reach introduction)) may be used to control the game effect lamp 9, and with such a configuration, in the title display part of the low base strongest reach production, the brightness for the introduction part Since the game effect lamp 9 is controlled using the luminance data table for title display different from the data table, the game effect lamp 9 can be illuminated in a suitable light emission mode according to the title display, and these results can be obtained. , the title can be preferably displayed.

[Effect 16]
In this embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 can execute low base strong reach A to C effects and high base reach A to C effects. The low base strong reach A to C production and the high base reach A to C production include both a title display part for displaying the corresponding title characters and an introductory part until the production result is announced. . In addition, in the title display part in the low-base strong reach A production / high-base reach A production, it is possible to display the expectation indication display composed of the first number (3) star-shaped objects, and the low-base strong reach B production / In the title display part in the high base reach B production, it is possible to display an expectation suggestive display composed of a second number (3.5) of star-shaped objects, which is larger than the first number, and low base strong reach C production / high In the title display part in the base reach C production, it is possible to display an expectation suggestive display composed of star-shaped objects with a third number (4), which is larger than the second number. The number difference between the first number (3) and the second number (3.5) is the same as the number difference between the second number (3.5) and the third number (4) (0.5 ), and the expectation of a big hit when the low-base strong reach C effect / high-base reach C effect corresponding to the third number (4) is executed and the low-base strong reach corresponding to the second number (3.5) The difference between the degree of expectation for a big hit when B effect/high base reach B effect is executed is when the low base strong reach B effect/high base reach B effect corresponding to the second number (3.5) is executed. is larger than the difference between the expectation level of big win in , and the expectation level of big win when the low-base strong reach A performance/high-base reach A performance corresponding to the first number (3) is executed. By doing so, when the number of star-shaped objects displayed as the expectation indication in the title display part increases from the first number (3) to the second number (3.5), the second number ( 3.5) to the third number (4), the amount of increase in the number of star-shaped objects is the same, but the number is increased from the first number (3) to the second number (3.5). Since the amount of increase in the expectation of a big hit is greater when the number increases from the second number (3.5) to the third number (4) than in the case of While it is possible to make the player expect to win a big win more than the number of objects, it is possible to avoid excessive expectations of a big win when the number of star-shaped objects is small.

In addition, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the low base strongest reach effect/high base reach D effect, and the title display part in the low base strongest reach effect/high base reach D effect is greater than the third number (4). An expectation suggestive display composed of a fourth number (4.5) star-shaped object can be displayed, and the number difference (0.5 ) is smaller than the number difference (1) between the first number (3) and the third number (4), and corresponds to the fourth number (4.5). is executed and the difference between the jackpot expectation when the low-base strong reach C effect/high-base reach C effect corresponding to the third number (4) is executed is the third number (4 ) and the low base strong reach B effect/high base reach B effect corresponding to the first number (3) are executed. It is larger than the difference between the jackpot expectation when By doing so, the number of star-shaped objects displayed as the expectation indication in the title display part is increased from the first number (3) to the third number (4). to the fourth number (4.5), the amount of increase in the number of star-shaped objects is smaller than the increase from the first number (3) to the third number (4). Since the amount of increase in the expected degree of jackpot increases when the number is increased from (4) to the fourth number (4.5), the more the number of star-shaped objects increases, the less the number of increased star-shaped objects increases. But you can expect it to be a big hit.

The difference between the numbers (4) and (4.5) is 0.5, and the difference between the numbers (3) and (4) is 1. Yes, and the third number (4) is higher than when the number of star-shaped objects displayed as the expectation indication in the title display part is increased by 1 from the first number (3) to the third number (4) If the number is increased by 0.5 to the fourth number (4.5), it can be expected that the player will win even more.

In addition, when the high base reach C effect corresponding to the third number (4) is executed in the variable probability state that is more advantageous than the normal state, the expectation of the big hit and the high base reach B corresponding to the second number (3.5) The difference between the expectation of a big hit when the effect is executed is the expectation of a big win when the low base strong reach C effect corresponding to the third number (4) is executed in the normal state and the second number (3.5 ) is larger than the difference from the big hit expectation degree when the low base strong reach B performance corresponding to ) is executed. By doing so, it is possible to expect that the probability variable state, which is more advantageous than the normal state, will be a big hit when the number of star-shaped objects displayed as the expectation indication in the title display part increases. can.

[Effect 17]
In this embodiment, the performance control CPU 120 can execute the low base weak reach A and B performances in the normal state, and the low base strong reach A to C performances with higher expectations for big hits than the low base weak reach A and B performances. . The low base weak reach A and B productions and the low base strong reach A to C productions include both a title display part for displaying the corresponding title characters and an introduction part until the production result is notified. be. And the title display part in the low base strong reach A to C production is longer than the execution time of the title display part in the low base weak reach A, B production, and in the title display part in the low base strong reach A to C production While the expectation level suggestive display is displayed, the expectation level suggestive display is not displayed in the title display parts in the low base weak reach A and B productions. By doing so, the title display part in the low-base strong reach A to C productions with relatively high expectations is higher than the title display part in the low-base weak reach A and B productions with relatively low expectations. Long, and while the expectation level suggestion display is displayed in the title display part in the low base strong reach A to C production, the expectation level suggestion display is not displayed in the title display part in the low base weak reach A and B productions. It is possible to make the player recognize sensibly that the strong base reach A to C productions have a higher degree of expectation than the low base weak reach A and B productions.

In addition, the title display part in the low base strong reach A to C production is composed of a prologue display period and a title character display period in which title characters are displayed (title start period, title display period, title end period). The title display part in the low base weak reach A and B productions does not have a prologue display period, and consists only of the title character display period. is longer than the title character display period of the title display part in the low base weak reach A and B effects.

Also, it is possible to let the player recognize sensibly that the low base strong reach A to C productions have higher expectations than the low base weak reach A and B productions.

In addition, the production control CPU 120 can execute a low-base strongest reach production with a higher expectation for a big hit than a low-base strong reach A-C production in a normal state, and the title display part in the low-base strong reach A-C production is , It consists of a prologue display period and a title character display period in which the title character is displayed (title start period, title display period, title end period), and the title display part in the low base strongest reach production is the prologue display period The title character display period of the title display part in the low base strongest reach production is longer than the title character display period of the title display part in the low base strong reach A to C production. . By doing so, the title character display period of the title display part in the low base strongest reach production is longer than the title character display period of the title display part in the low base strong reach A to C productions. It is possible to let the player recognize sensibly that the strongest base reach performance is higher in expectations than the low base strong reach A to C performances.

In addition, the effect control CPU 120 uses a luminance data table made up of luminance data to control the game effect lamps 9 (frame LEDs LWL1 to LWL12, frame LEDs LWR2 to LWR12, logos LEDLL1 to LL4, decorative LEDs LS1 to LS5, attacker lamps LA1 to LA4. ), and in the title display parts of the low base weak reach A and B effects and the low base strong reach A to C effects, the brightness data table for each title display (common title for weak reach system, common title for strong reach system The game effect lamp 9 is controlled using the title), and in the introduction parts of the low base weak reach A and B effects and the low base strong reach A to C effects, the brightness data table for each introduction part (weak reach system weak reach A game effect lamp 9 is controlled using A introduction, weak reach system weak reach B introduction, strong reach system strong reach A introduction, strong reach system strong reach B introduction, strong reach system strong reach C introduction). By doing this, in the title display parts of the low base weak reach A and B effects and the low base strong reach A to C effects, the brightness data table for title display that is different from the brightness data table for the introduction part is used. Since the game effect lamp 9 is controlled, the game effect lamp 9 can be illuminated in a suitable lighting mode according to the title display. As a result of these, title display can be preferably performed.

[Effect 18]
In this embodiment, the performance control CPU 120 can execute the low base weak reach A and B performances in the normal state, and the low base strong reach A to C performances with a higher expectation of big hit than the low base weak reach A and B performances. . The low base weak reach A and B productions and the low base strong reach A to C productions include both a title display part for displaying the corresponding title characters and an introduction part until the production result is notified. be. In addition, in the low base weak reach A and B productions, there is no case where a big win is reported as a result of the performance, and there is a case where a loss is reported as a result of the performance, and a case where another super reach performance is developed. In the low-base strong reach A to C productions, there are cases where a big hit is reported and cases where a loss is reported as a result of the performance. Then, the expectation suggesting display is displayed in the title display parts in the low base strong reach A to C productions, while the expectation suggesting display is not displayed in the title display parts in the low base weak reach A and B productions. By doing so, while the expectation level indication display is displayed in the title display part in the low base strong reach A ~ C production that may be directly notified that it will be a big hit, it is directly notified that it will be a big hit. Since the expectation indication is not displayed in the title display part in the low base weak reach A, B production that is not notified, it is possible to prevent the low base weak reach A, B production from giving an excessive sense of expectation. .

In addition, in the title display part in the low base weak reach A and B productions, it is possible to display the title letters in a golden mode that confirms that it will develop into another super reach production, so the expectation indication is displayed. Even the title display parts in the low base weak reach A and B effects that are not displayed can attract the player's attention.

By doing this, the title character is displayed in the super reach effect, while it is not yet clear whether or not it will be a big hit, while the title character in the play time start effect is in the time saving state B ( play time), and the title character of the play time start effect is displayed longer than the title character corresponding to the super reach effect, so congratulations on being controlled to the time saving state B (play time) can do.

In addition, the time from when all the character strings that make up the title characters of the play time start effect are displayed until at least part of the character strings are not displayed is the number of characters that make up the title characters corresponding to the super reach effect. It is longer than the time from when a part of the character string is displayed to when the entire character string is not displayed. By doing so, the time during which the title characters of the play time start production with congratulatory meaning can be seen properly is longer than the time during which the title characters corresponding to the super ready-to-win production, which aims to arouse the possibility of winning a big hit, is displayed. also becomes longer, and the player can be given a sense of satisfaction.

In addition, the effect control CPU 120 uses a luminance data table composed of luminance data to control the game effect lamps 9 (frame LEDs LWL1 to LWL12, frame LEDs LWR2 to LWR12, logos LEDLL1 to LL4, decorative LEDs LS1 to LS5, attacker lamps LA1 to LA4. ), and in the title display part of the super reach effect, the brightness data table for title display (weak reach common title, strong reach common title, high base reach common title) is used to control the game effect lamp 9 is controlled, and in the introduction part of the super reach production, the brightness data table for the introduction part (weak reach system weak reach A introduction, weak reach system weak reach B introduction, strong reach system strong reach A introduction, strong reach system strong reach B introduction, strong reach system strong reach C introduction, high base reach system reach A introduction, high base reach system reach B introduction, high base reach system reach C introduction, high base reach system reach D introduction) using game effect lamp 9 Control. By doing so, in the title display part of the super ready-to-win effect, the game effect lamp 9 is controlled using the brightness data table for title display, which is different from the brightness data table for the introductory part. Moreover, the game effect lamp 9 can be caused to emit light in a suitable light emission mode. As a result of these, title display can be preferably performed.

[Effect 38]
In this embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 can execute a super ready-to-win effect. The super ready-to-win effect includes a title display part for displaying corresponding title characters and an introductory part until the effect result is announced. In addition, the game control microcomputer 100 performs control to a time-saving state B (play time) more advantageous than the normal state when the variable display is performed 900 times without being controlled for a big win in the normal state. In addition, in the normal state, it is possible to display the character of the remaining number of times until the play time, which indicates the remaining number of times until the control is made to the time saving state B (play time). The size of the characters forming the title characters corresponding to the super ready-to-win effect is larger than the size of the characters forming the remaining number of times characters until the play time. By doing so, the title characters corresponding to the super ready-to-win effect are displayed in a larger size than the characters constituting the remaining count characters until the play time, so that the title characters corresponding to the super ready-to-win effect can be noticed. .

In addition, the super reach production includes low base weak reach A and B productions and low base strong reach A to C productions that have higher expectations for big hits than low base weak reach A and B productions. The count character is displayed during execution of the low base weak reach A and B effects, and is not displayed during execution of the low base strong reach A to C effects. By doing so, in the low-base weak reach A and B effects with low expectations for big hits, the number of remaining characters until the play time is displayed, so it is possible to make the player aware of the number of times until the time-saving state B (play time). On the other hand, in the low-base high reach A to C productions with high expectations for big hits, by not displaying the character of the remaining number of times until the play time, attention can be paid to the contents of the production. Also, in the time-saving state B (play time), a big win more advantageous than in the normal state is likely to occur, so when the number of remaining times until the time-saving state B (play time) is small, the player's sense of regret can be alleviated.

In addition, when the selection performance develops to the low base strong reach A to C performances without going through the low base weak reach A and B performances, the character of the remaining number of times until the play time is not displayed even during the execution of the selection performance. By doing so, the remaining number of times until the play time characters will not interfere with the selection effect that determines the super reach effect above the low base strong reach A to C effects, and the remaining number of times until the time saving state B (play time) When there is little, the player's feeling of regret can be alleviated.

In addition, when it is notified that a big hit will be achieved in the low base strong reach A to C performances, the character of the remaining number of times up to the play time is not displayed again, and the game is controlled to the big win game state, and the low base strong reach A to C performances are performed. Then, when it is notified that there will be a gap, the character of the remaining number of times up to the play time is displayed again after the low base strong reach A to C effects are finished. By doing so, when it is notified that the low base strong reach A ~ C production will be a big hit, by not displaying the remaining number of characters until the play time again, the time saving state B (play time) When the remaining number of times is small, the player's feeling of regret can be alleviated. In addition, when it is notified that the low base strong reach A to C production will be missed, after the low base strong reach A to C production is completed, the characters for the remaining number of times until the play time are displayed again, so the time saving state B ( If the remaining number of times until the play time) is small, it can be quickly relieved.

In addition, the effect control CPU 120 uses a luminance data table composed of luminance data to control the game effect lamps 9 (frame LEDs LWL1 to LWL12, frame LEDs LWR2 to LWR12, logos LEDLL1 to LL4, decorative LEDs LS1 to LS5, attacker lamps LA1 to LA4. ), and in the title display part of the super reach effect, the brightness data table for title display (weak reach common title, strong reach common title, high base reach common title) is used to control the game effect lamp 9 is controlled, and in the introduction part of the super reach production, the brightness data table for the introduction part (weak reach system weak reach A introduction, weak reach system weak reach B introduction, strong reach system strong reach A introduction, strong reach system strong reach B introduction, strong reach system strong reach C introduction, high base reach system reach A introduction, high base reach system reach B introduction, high base reach system reach C introduction, high base reach system reach D introduction) using game effect lamp 9 Control. By doing so, in the title display part of the super ready-to-win effect, the game effect lamp 9 is controlled using the brightness data table for title display, which is different from the brightness data table for the introductory part. Moreover, the game effect lamp 9 can be caused to emit light in a suitable light emission mode. As a result of these, title display can be preferably performed.

In addition, in the normal state, it is possible to display the character of the remaining number of times until the play time, which indicates the remaining number of times until the control is made to the time saving state B (play time). The size of the characters forming the operation facilitating characters (small) is larger than the size of the characters forming the remaining number of times characters until the play time. By doing so, the operation-promoting character (small) is displayed in a larger size than the characters constituting the remaining number of characters until the play time, so that the operation-promoting character (small) can be noticed effectively. Actions (operations) can be prompted to the player.

Further, when executing the low base strong reach A to C effects among the super reach effects, when displaying the operation promoting characters (small) in the operation promoting effect A executed before the title display part, play time In contrast to the character of the remaining number of times up to the play time is displayed at the same time, when the characters of the operation promotion (small) are displayed in the operation promotion effect D executed at the end of the introductory part, the characters of the remaining number of times up to the play time are not displayed. . By doing this, before developing into low base strong reach A ~ C production, by keeping the remaining number of characters until the play time displayed at the same time as the promotion character display operation promotion character (small), the time saving state It can be made aware of the number of times up to B (play time), and by not displaying the remaining number of times characters up to the play time in the operation prompting characters (small) of the introductory part, it is possible to notify that it will be a big hit. can draw attention.

In addition, when executing the low base strong reach A to C effects, in the operation promotion effect A executed before the title display part, the situation is more advantageous than the operation promotion character (small) and the operation promotion character (small) While only the operation-promoting characters (small) are displayed among the operation-promoting characters (large) that suggest ) can also be displayed, and when the operation prompting characters (large) are displayed in the low base strong reach A to C effects, the remaining number of times characters until the play time are not displayed at the same time. By doing so, it is possible to draw attention to whether or not a big win is notified, and also to display the operation prompting characters (large), suggesting a more advantageous situation.

In addition, the effect control CPU 120 uses a luminance data table composed of luminance data to control the game effect lamps 9 (frame LEDs LWL1 to LWL12, frame LEDs LWR2 to LWR12, logos LEDLL1 to LL4, decorative LEDs LS1 to LS5, attacker lamps LA1 to LA4. ), and in the title display part of the super reach effect, the game effect lamp 9 is controlled using the brightness data table for title display (common title for weak reach system, common title for strong reach system), and super reach effect In the introduction part, the brightness data table for the introduction part (weak reach system weak reach A introduction, weak reach system weak reach B introduction, strong reach system strong reach A introduction, strong reach system strong reach B introduction, strong reach system strong reach C introduction) is used to control the game effect lamp 9 . By doing so, in the title display part of the super ready-to-win effect, the game effect lamp 9 is controlled using the brightness data table for title display, which is different from the brightness data table for the introductory part. Moreover, the game effect lamp 9 can be caused to emit light in a suitable light emission mode. As a result of these, title display can be preferably performed.

[Effect 40]
In this embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 can execute a super ready-to-win effect. The super ready-to-win effect includes a title display part for displaying corresponding title characters and an introductory part until the effect result is announced. In addition, the game control microcomputer 100 performs control to a time-saving state B (play time) more advantageous than the normal state when the variable display is performed 900 times without being controlled for a big win in the normal state. In addition, after the super ready-to-win effect is notified that the game will be a big win, the title characters of the big win start effect corresponding to the controlled big win game state can be displayed. In addition, in the normal state, it is possible to display the character of the remaining number of times until the play time, which indicates the remaining number of times until the control is made to the time saving state B (play time). Before the title characters of the big win start effect are displayed, the remaining number of times characters until the play time are erased, and the size of the characters constituting the title characters of the big win start effect is the remaining number of times characters until the play time. is larger than the size of the characters that make up the By doing so, the situation in which the title character of the big win start production is displayed is the situation after the fact that the big win has already been announced, and the remaining number of times characters until the play time are unnecessary, so that the big win start production Before the title characters are displayed, the characters of the remaining number of times until the play time are erased, and the characters that make up the title characters of the jackpot start effect are displayed larger than the characters that make up the characters of the remaining number of times until the play time. Therefore, it is possible to congratulate being controlled to the jackpot gaming state.

In addition, regardless of the number of remaining times up to the time-saving state B (play time), the size of the characters constituting the characters of the remaining number of times up to the play time is the same, and constitutes the title characters of the jackpot start performance. The size of the characters is larger than the size of the characters constituting the remaining number of characters until the play time. By doing so, the characters constituting the title characters of the jackpot start effect constitute the characters of the remaining number of times until the play time, regardless of the number of times remaining until the time-saving state B (play time). Since it is displayed larger than the characters, it is possible to congratulate being controlled to the big win game state.

A game area is formed in the game board 2, and a game ball as a game medium is shot from a predetermined ball shooting device and hit into the game area.

In addition, the "variable display" of the special symbols means, for example, that a plurality of types of special symbols are displayed in a variable manner. Variations include updating display of a plurality of patterns, scrolling display of a plurality of patterns, deformation of one or more patterns, enlargement/reduction of one or more patterns, and the like. In the variation of special symbols and normal symbols, which will be described later, a plurality of types of special symbols or normal symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of decorative patterns, which will be described later, a plurality of types of decorative patterns are scrolled or updated, and one or more decorative patterns are deformed or enlarged/reduced. Note that the variation also includes a mode in which a certain symbol is displayed blinking. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped and displayed (also referred to as derivation or derivation display) as a display result (the same applies to variable display of other symbols to be described later). Variable display may be expressed as variable display or variation.

The special symbols variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A are also called "first special symbols", and the special symbols variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B are also called "second special symbols". Also, a special game using the first special game is called a "first special game", and a special game using the second special game is called a "second special game". In addition, the number of special symbol display devices that variably display the special symbols may be one.

An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2 . The image display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display) or an organic EL (Electro Luminescence), and displays various effects images.

When the game ball enters the first starting winning hole, based on the fact that the game ball is detected by the first starting hole switch 22A provided in the winning ball device 6A, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prizes As soon as the ball is paid out, the first special game can be started.

The variable prize winning ball device 6B (ordinary electric accessory) forms a second starting prize opening that changes between a closed state and an open state by means of a first solenoid 81 (see FIG. 12-2). The variable winning ball device 6B has, for example, a movable piece that can move forward and backward above the second starting winning hole. covers the upper side of the second start prize winning port, and the second start prize winning port is in a closed state in which game balls do not enter (the second start prize winning port is also said to be in a closed state). On the other hand, the variable winning ball device 6B is opened so that the game ball can enter the second starting winning hole by retracting the movable piece from above the second starting winning hole when the first solenoid 81 is in the ON state. (It is also said that the second start winning opening is in an open state.). When the game ball enters the second starting winning hole, based on the fact that the game ball is detected by the first starting hole switch 22A provided in the winning ball device 6A, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prizes A second special game can be started as the balls are paid out. Note that the variable winning ball device 6B is not limited to one provided with a movable piece as long as it changes between a closed state and an open state.

At predetermined positions of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 12-1, three positions on the lower left side of the game area and one position on the upper side of the variable winning ball device 6B), a predetermined ball receiving member always maintains a constant open state. A dripping general winnings opening 10 is provided. When a game ball enters the general prize winning port 10, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are selected as prize balls based on the fact that the game ball is detected by the general prize winning switch 25 (see FIG. 12-2). be paid out.

A special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning opening is provided between the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable prize winning ball device 7 has a special prize winning opening door that is driven to open and close by a second solenoid 82 (see FIG. 12-2). Form a big prize opening.

As an example, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the second solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door 711 (for the special electric accessory) is in the OFF state, the large winning opening door closes the large winning opening (first state), the game ball cannot enter (pass through) the big winning hole. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the second solenoid 82 for the big winning gate door is in the ON state, the big winning gate door opens the big winning gate (second state), and the game balls Makes it easier to enter the big prize pool.

When a game ball enters the big winning hole, based on the fact that the game ball is detected by the first count switch 23 provided in the special variable winning ball device 7, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are detected. is paid out as prize balls. When the game balls enter the big winning hole, more prize balls are paid out than when the game balls enter the first starting winning hole, the second starting winning hole and the general winning hole 10, for example.

Entering a game ball into each winning hole including the general winning hole 10 is also called "winning". In particular, winning a prize in a starting opening (first starting winning opening, second starting winning opening) is also referred to as starting winning.

In addition to the above-described first count switch 23, a second count switch 24 capable of detecting game balls is also provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 of this embodiment, the details of which will be described later. The second count switch 24 controls the game state to a probability variable state (high probability high base state) described later after the jackpot game state by detecting a game ball that has entered the big winning opening in the jackpot game state described later. It is a switch for

A normal symbol display device 20 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 12-1, the lower left part of the game area). As an example, the normal design display device 20 consists of a 7-segment LED or the like, and performs variable display of normal designs as a plurality of types of normal identification information different from the special design. The normal symbols are represented by numbers indicating "0" to "9", lighting patterns such as "-", and the like. The normal pattern may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off. Such a variable display of normal patterns is also called a normal pattern game.

A passage gate 41 through which game balls can pass is provided on the right side of the image display device 5 . Based on the game ball passing through the passage gate 41, the normal game is executed.

Below the normal pattern display device 20, a normal pattern reservation display device 25C is provided. The general pattern pending display device 25C includes, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of general pattern pending storage, which is the number of general pattern games whose execution is suspended, by the number of lit LEDs.

The surface of the game board 2 is provided with, in addition to the above structure, a windmill for changing the flowing direction and speed of the game ball and a large number of obstructing nails.

(Overview of Game Progress)
A game ball is shot toward a game area by a player's rotation operation of a ball hitting operation handle 30 provided in the pachinko game machine 1 . When the game ball passes through the passage gate 41, the normal pattern display device 20 starts the normal pattern game. In addition, when the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 during the period during the execution of the previous normal game (when the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 but the normal game based on the passage cannot be executed immediately) , the normal game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

In this general pattern game, if a specific normal pattern (normal pattern winning pattern) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the normal pattern becomes "normal pattern winning". On the other hand, if a normal pattern (normal pattern lost pattern) other than the normal pattern winning pattern is stop-displayed as the fixed normal pattern, the display result of the normal pattern becomes "normal pattern lost". When it comes to "per normal", open control is performed to open the variable winning ball device 6B (the second start winning opening is opened).

When a game ball enters the first starting winning hole formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started.

When the game ball enters the second starting winning hole formed in the variable winning ball device 6B, the second special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started.

In addition, when the game ball enters (wins) the start winning opening during the period during which the special game is running or during the period when it is controlled to the jackpot game state described later (starting winning occurs, but it is based on the starting winning If the special game cannot be executed immediately), the execution of the special game based on the entry is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

In the special symbol game, when a specific special symbol (a big hit symbol, for example, "7", the actual symbol varies depending on the type of the big hit to be described later) is stopped and displayed as a fixed special symbol, it becomes a "big hit" and a big winning symbol. If a special symbol (losing symbol, for example, "-") is stopped and displayed, it becomes "missing".

After the display result in the special game becomes "big win", the game is controlled to a big win game state as an advantageous state for the player.

In the jackpot game state, the jackpot formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined manner. The open state is until the timing of the lapse of the open period (for example, 29 seconds) or the timing until the number of game balls entering the big winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10), whichever comes first. Continued. The open period is an upper limit period during which the big winning slot can be opened in one round, and is hereinafter also referred to as an upper limit open period. One cycle in which the big winning opening is opened in this way is called a round (round game). In the jackpot game state, the round can be repeatedly executed until it reaches a predetermined upper limit number of times (10 times or 4 times).

In the jackpot game state, the player can get a prize ball by entering the game ball into the big winning hole. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The larger the number of rounds in the jackpot game state and the longer the upper limit period of opening, the more advantageous the player is.

In addition, a jackpot type is set in the "jackpot". For example, multiple types of opening modes (number of rounds and upper limit period of opening) of the big winning opening and game states after the jackpot game state (normal state, time saving state, variable probability state, etc.) are prepared, and the jackpot type is set according to these It is As the jackpot types, there may be provided a jackpot type with which many prize balls can be obtained, a jackpot type with few prize balls, or a jackpot type with which few prize balls can be obtained.

After the jackpot game state is finished, the game may be controlled to a time-saving state according to the jackpot type.

In the time saving state and probability variable state, control (time saving control) that shortens the average special figure fluctuation time (period of varying the special figure) than the normal state is executed. In the time-saving state, by shortening the average normal figure fluctuation time (the period during which the normal figure is changed) than in the normal state, and by improving the probability of becoming a "normal figure hit" in the general figure game than in the normal state, etc. Control (high opening control, high base control) that makes it easier for game balls to enter the second start winning opening is also executed. Since the time-saving state and the probability variable state are states in which the variation efficiency of the special symbols (especially the second special symbols) is improved, they are advantageous to the player.

The time saving state and the variable probability state are continued until one of the end conditions such as execution of the special game for a predetermined number of times and start of the next big win game state is established first. The end condition that the special figure game has been executed a predetermined number of times is also called a number cut (number cut time reduction, etc.).

The normal state means a game state other than a special state such as an advantageous state such as a jackpot game state that is advantageous to the player, a time saving state, a variable probability state, etc., and the display result in the normal game is "normal game". The pachinko gaming machine 1, such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special game will be a "jackpot", returns to the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, a predetermined return after power-on, such as when the system is reset) It is the state controlled in the same way as when processing is not executed).

A state in which time-saving control is performed is also referred to as a high-based state, and a state in which time-saving control is not performed is also referred to as a low-based state.

Here, in the normal state in this embodiment, the player launches game balls mainly toward the left game area 2L, and some of these game balls enter the general winning opening 10 or the starting winning opening and win prizes. This is a game state in which the payout of balls and the variable display of the first special symbol are executed. In addition, in the normal state, when the player launches a game ball toward the right game area 2R, some of these game balls can be detected by the gate switch 21 (some of the game balls can pass through the gate 41). ) is a gaming state, but the probability of per normal pattern based on the gate switch 21 detecting the game ball is lower than the time-saving state (low probability high base state) or probability variable state (high probability high base state), and This is a game state in which the opening period of the second start winning opening when a normal figure hit occurs is set shorter than the time saving state or the variable probability state. Also, since the normal state is not the jackpot game state, the big winning opening is not opened. As described above, the normal state is a game state in which it is more advantageous for the player to hit the game ball toward the left game area 2L than to hit the game ball toward the right game area 2R.

On the other hand, in the time saving state and the probability variable state in this embodiment, some of these game balls enter the general winning opening 10 and the starting winning opening by hitting the game ball toward the left game area 2L by the player. This is a game state in which prize balls are paid out and the variable display of the first special symbol is executed. When the player launches the game balls toward the right game area 2R, some of these game balls are detected by the gate switch 21. It is a game state in which it is possible to let the game ball pass through the gate 41 (some of the game balls can pass through the gate 41). Here, in the time-saving state and the probability variable state, the probability of winning the normal pattern is higher than in the normal state, and the opening period of the second start winning opening when the normal drawing occurs is set longer than the normal state. state. In other words, the time saving state and the variable probability state are gaming states in which the game balls are more likely to enter the second start winning opening than in the normal state.

Furthermore, although the details will be described later, if the variable display result of the variable display of the special symbol (variable display of the second special symbol) when the game ball wins in the second start winning port becomes a big hit, the first start winning The ratio of the variable display of the special symbols (variable display of the first special symbol) when the game ball wins in the mouth is controlled to a jackpot game state with a larger number of rounds than when the variable display results in the jackpot, and during the jackpot game. The rate at which the game ball passes through the second count switch 24 (the rate at which the variable probability state is controlled after the end of the jackpot game) is set high. That is, the time saving state and the variable probability state are game states in which it is more advantageous for the player to hit the game ball toward the right game area 2R than to hit the game ball toward the left game area 2L.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 12-1, since the special variable winning ball device 7 is provided in the right game area 2R, in the jackpot game state, the game balls flowing down the right game area 2R are placed in the left game area 2L. It is easier to enter the big prize opening than a game ball flowing down. That is, the jackpot game state is a game state in which it is more advantageous for the player to hit the game ball toward the right game area 2R than to hit the game ball toward the left game area 2L.

(Progress of production, etc.)
In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects such as notifying the progress of the game and exciting the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The production will be described below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5. In addition to or instead of the display, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R and the game effect lamp 9 are provided. lighting or extinguishing, the movement of the movable body 32, or a performance using any performance device including a part or all of these.

As an effect executed according to the progress of the game, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided on the image display device 5, the first special game or the second In response to the start of the 2 special figure game, the variable display of the decoration pattern is started. At the timing when the display result (also called fixed special pattern) is stopped and displayed in the first special game or the second special game, a fixed decorative pattern (combination of three decorative patterns) which is the display result of variable display of decorative patterns ) is also stopped (derived).

During the period from the start of the variable display of the decorative design to the end of the variable display, the variable display of the decorative design may be in a predetermined ready-to-win state (ready-to-win state is established). Here, the ready-to-win mode means that when the decorative symbols stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitute a part of the jackpot combination described later, the decorative symbols that are not stopped and displayed are displayed in a variable manner. It is the aspect that is continuing.

Further, a ready-to-win effect is executed in response to the above-described ready-to-win mode during the variable display of decorative symbols. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the display result (the display result of the special game or the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern) is a "big win" (also called the "big win reliability" or "big win expectation") depending on the performance mode. A plurality of different types of ready-to-win effects are executed. The ready-to-win performance includes, for example, a normal reach and a super-to-win with higher reliability than the normal reach.

When the display result of the special game is a "big hit", a fixed decorative pattern that is a predetermined big hit combination is derived as a display result of the variable display of decorative patterns on the screen of the image display device 5 (decoration The display result of the variable display of the pattern becomes a "jackpot"). As an example, the same decoration patterns (for example, "7" etc.) are stop-displayed together on predetermined effective lines in the "left", "middle" and "right" decoration pattern display areas 5L, 5C and 5R. .

In the case of a "variable probability big hit" controlled to a variable probability state after the end of the big win game state (as described later, a big hit in which a part of the game ball is detected by the second count switch 24 during the big win game), Odd decorative symbols (for example, "7" etc.) are stopped and displayed, and "non-probability variable jackpot (normal jackpot)" that is not controlled to a variable probability state after the end of the jackpot game state (as described later, is played during the jackpot game) If a part of the ball is a big hit that is not detected by the second count switch 24, even-numbered decorative symbols (for example, "6") may be stopped and displayed together. In this case, odd-numbered decorative patterns are also called probability variable patterns and even-numbered decorative patterns are also called non-probable variable patterns (normal patterns). After becoming a ready-to-win mode with non-probability variation symbols, a promotion performance may be executed to finally become a "probability variation big hit".

For example, as shown in FIG. 12-5(B), the command 8F00H is the first symbol confirmation command specifying that the symbol confirmation period is 0.5 seconds, and the command 8F01H is the symbol confirmation period of 10 seconds. It is a second symbol confirmation command that specifies that. The command 95XXH is a game state designation command that designates the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. FIG. In the game state designation command, different EXT data are set according to the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example. As a specific example, the command 9500H is the first game state designation command corresponding to the game state (low probability low base state, normal state) in which the time saving control is not performed, and the command 9501H is the game state in which the time saving control is performed (low The second game state designation command corresponding to the high-probability base state, the time-saving state), and the command 9502H is the third game state designation corresponding to the game state (high-probability-high base state, the probability variable state) in which the time-saving control and the probability variable control are performed. command. Command 96XXH is an error notification command for notifying that an error has occurred. In the error notification command, for example, different EXT data are set according to the error that has occurred.

The command A0XXH is a jackpot start designation command (also referred to as “fanfare command”) for designating display of an effect image indicating the start of a jackpot game. The command A1XXH is a large winning opening open notification command for notifying that the large winning opening is in an open state in the jackpot gaming state. The command A2XXH is a post-opening notification command for the large winning opening to notify that the large winning opening has changed from the open state to the closed state in the jackpot gaming state. The command A3XXH is a jackpot end designation command that designates display of an effect image at the end of the jackpot game.

In the jackpot start designation command and the jackpot end designation command, for example, by setting the same EXT data as the variable display result designation command, different EXT data may be set according to the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result. . Alternatively, in the jackpot start designation command and the jackpot end designation command, the correspondence between the pre-determined result and jackpot type determination result and the set EXT data may be different from the correspondence in the variable display result designation command. . In the notification command during the opening of the big winning opening and the notification command after opening the big winning opening, for example, different EXT data is set corresponding to the number of rounds executed in the jackpot state described later (for example, "1" to "10"). .

The command B100H is based on the fact that the game ball passing through (entering) the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A and the starting winning (first starting winning) occurs. It is a first start winning designation command for notifying that the first starting condition for executing the special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A is satisfied. The command B200H is based on the fact that the game ball passing through (entering) the second starting winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B and the starting winning (second starting winning) occurs. , It is a second start winning designation command for notifying that the second start condition for executing the special symbol game using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B is satisfied.

Command C1XXH is a first reserved storage number notification command for notifying the first special figure reserved storage number in order to be able to specify the special figure reserved storage number. Command C2XXH is a second pending storage number notification command for notifying the second special figure pending storage number in order to be able to specify the special figure pending storage number. The first pending memory number notification command is, for example, based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first starting condition is satisfied, when the first starting opening winning designation command is transmitted , is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 . The second pending memory number notification command is, for example, based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second starting condition is satisfied, when the second starting opening winning designation command is transmitted , is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 . In addition, the first reserved memory number notification command and the second reserved memory number notification command are used when either the first start condition or the second start condition is satisfied (when the number of reserved memories decreases), the special game It may be transmitted in response to the start of execution or the like.

Instead of the first reserved storage number notification command and the second reserved storage number notification command, a total reserved storage number notification command for notifying the total reserved storage number may be transmitted. That is, a total pending storage number notification command may be used to report an increase (or decrease) in the total pending storage number.

The command C4XXH and the command C6XXH are effect control commands (winning determination result specification commands) indicating the content of the winning determination result. Among them, the command C4XXH is a symbol designation command indicating whether or not the variable display result will be a "big hit" as a result of determination at the time of winning, the determination result of the big hit type (probable variation, non-probability variation, or sudden probability) and whether it will be a small hit. is. In addition, the command C6XXH is a variation category designation indicating whether the random number for determining the variation pattern is a variation pattern of "non-reach", "super reach", or "other" as a result of determination at the time of winning. is a command. In addition, the command C700H is not during the jackpot game, the variable display of special symbols is not executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and based on the non-game state in which there is no pending memory, the image This is an effect control command that designates execution of a customer waiting demonstration (customer waiting demonstration effect) on the display device 5 .

The command D100H is a V prize notification command for notifying that the game ball is detected by the second count switch 24 and that the game state is controlled to the variable probability state after the jackpot game is finished (occurrence of the V prize).

Command D3XXH notifies the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the game balls being detected by the first starter switch 22A, the second starter switch 22B, the first count switch 23, the general winning switch 25, etc. It is a number notification command.

The command E0XXH monitors the difference between the number of prize balls paid out after the Pachinko game machine 1 is activated with the operation of the clear switch 92 and the number of game balls detected by the out switch 26 (net increase in number of prize balls). This is a MY counter value notification command for notifying the MY counter value for As shown in FIG. 12-8(D), E000H is the first MY counter value notification command indicating that the MY counter value is 0 to 90000, and E001H indicates that the MY counter value is 90001 to 95000. E002H is a third MY counter value notification command indicating that the MY counter value is 95001-98194. The command F000H is a game stop notification command for notifying the game stop based on the fact that the MY counter value has reached 98194, which is the default value.

It should be noted that the commands shown in FIG. 12-5(A) are only examples, and some of these commands may be omitted, different commands may be used in place of these commands, or these commands may be used instead of these commands. You can add commands that are different from the commands in For example, a prize ball number notification command for specifying the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the game ball entering each prize hole, or a gate for notifying that the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41. You may make it provide the notification command etc. which notify the notification command of passing, and the remaining variable display frequency by which probability variation control and time saving control are performed.

FIG. 12-6 is an explanatory diagram illustrating random numbers counted on the main board 11 side. As shown in FIG. 12-6, in this embodiment, on the side of the main board 11, the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination, the random number MR2 for jackpot type determination, the random number MR3 for variation pattern determination, Numerical data indicating each of the random number values MR4 for judging the result of the display of the normal pattern is controlled so as to be countable. Random numbers other than these may be used in order to enhance the game effect. Random numbers used to control the progress of such games are also called game random numbers.

The random number circuit 104 may count numerical data representing part or all of these random numbers MR1 to MR4. For example, the CPU 103 uses a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in a game control counter setting unit (not shown), to update various numerical data by software, thereby setting the random numbers MR1 to MR4. You may make it count the numerical data which show a part.

The random number MR1 for special figure display result determination is a random number used for determining whether or not to control the variable display result such as the special figure in the special figure game as "big win" to the big win game state. It takes a value in the range from "0" to "65535". The random value MR2 for judging the type of jackpot is a random value used to determine the type of jackpot when the variable display result is "jackpot" to be one of "jackpot A", "jackpot B", and "jackpot C". and takes a value in the range of, for example, "0" to "299".

The random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern is a random number used to determine one of a plurality of types prepared in advance for the variation pattern in the variable display of special symbols and decorative symbols. 997”.

The random number MR4 for judging the result of the normal pattern display is used to determine whether the variable display result in the normal pattern display device 20 in the normal pattern display is "win" or "lose the normal pattern". It is a random number that can be set, for example, in the range of "3" to "23".

The random number MR5 for determining the initial value of MR4 is a random number used to determine the initial value of the random number MR4, and ranges from "3" to "23", for example.

FIG. 12-7 shows the variation pattern in this example. In this embodiment, among the cases where the variable display result is "missing", the variable display is performed corresponding to each of the cases where the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is "non-reach" and the case where it is "reach". A plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance corresponding to the case where the result is a "big hit". In addition, the variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "loss" and the variation display mode of the decoration pattern is "non-reach" is called a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as "non-reach loss variation pattern"), A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "lost" and the variation display mode of the decoration pattern is "reach" is called a reach variation pattern (also referred to as "reach loss variation pattern"). Also, the non-reach variation pattern and the reach variation pattern are included in the loss variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "loss". A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is a "big hit" is called a big hit variation pattern.

The jackpot variation pattern and reach variation pattern include a normal reach variation pattern in which normal reach reach performance is executed and a super reach variation pattern in which super reach reach performance is performed. Although one type of normal reach fluctuation pattern is provided in this embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more types of normal reach fluctuation patterns may be provided. In addition, in the present embodiment, two types of variation patterns, super reach α and super reach β, are provided as super reach variation patterns, but the present invention is not limited to this, and three or more types of super reach variation patterns are provided. Alternatively, only one type may be provided.

Of these variation patterns, the variation pattern of the big hit and the variation pattern of the small hit are uniform for executing a blessing effect that congratulates the variable display result as a big hit after the same special variation time as the losing variation pattern. A special figure display time of 15 seconds is additionally provided.

Here, regarding the jackpot variation pattern and the losing variation pattern in this embodiment, the period until the variable display result is notified is configured in common, and the length of the period until the variable display result is notified is variable. This prevents the player from recognizing in advance whether the display result is a big win or a loss.

Incidentally, in this embodiment, as will be described later. Since the determination ratio of each variation pattern is set so that the degree of expectation for a big hit with a variable display result in the order of super reach, normal reach, and non-reach increases, the normal reach variation pattern and the super reach variation pattern are particularly The longer the figure fluctuation time, the higher the expectation of a big hit.

Further, in the present embodiment, as will be described later, these variation patterns are determined using only the random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in addition to the random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern, a random number for determining the type of variation pattern is provided, and the type of variation pattern is first determined from the random number for determining the type of variation pattern, and then the determination You may make it determine the variation pattern which belongs to the class which carried out.

The ROM 101 provided in the game control microcomputer 100 stores various table data used for controlling the progress of the game in addition to the game control program. For example, the ROM 101 stores table data constituting a plurality of determination tables prepared for the CPU 103 to make various determinations and decisions. In addition, the ROM 101 stores table data constituting a plurality of control pattern tables used by the CPU 103 to output various control signals from the main substrate 11, and the variation mode of each symbol in variable display such as special symbols and normal symbols. A variation pattern table storing a plurality of types of variation patterns is stored.

FIG. 12-8 is an explanatory diagram of the determination method of the variation pattern in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the variation pattern determination table to be selected is varied according to the special symbols of the variable display to be executed, the display result of the variable display, the number of pending memories, the game state, and the like.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12-8, when the variable display result is a big hit, the big hit variation pattern determination table is selected, the game state is the normal state (low probability low base state), and the variable When the number of special figure pending memories to be displayed is 1 or less and the variable display result is lost, select the variation pattern determination table A for loss, and the game state is the normal state (low probability low base state) , When the number of special figure pending memories for variable display is 2 to 3 and the variable display result is lost, select the variation pattern determination table B for loss, and the game state is a time saving state or a probability variable state (low probability high base state or high probability high base state) and the variable display result is a loss, the variation pattern determination table C for loss is selected.

In the big hit variation pattern determination table A, 1 to 20 out of 1 to 997 possible for the variation pattern determination random number MR3 are assigned to the normal reach big hit variation pattern PB1-1, and 21 to 370. is assigned to the super reach α jackpot variation pattern PB1-2, and 371 to 997 are assigned to the super reach β jackpot variation pattern PB1-3.

In the variation pattern determination table for loss A, 1 to 500 out of 1 to 997 that can be taken by the random number MR3 for determination of the variation pattern are assigned to the non-reach variation pattern PA1-1, and 501 to 900 is assigned to the fluctuation pattern PA2-1 out of normal reach, 901 to 970 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern PA2-2 out of super reach α, and 971 to 977 are out of super reach β fluctuation pattern PA2 -3.

In the variation pattern determination table for loss B, 1 to 500 out of 1 to 997 that can be taken by the random number MR3 for determination of the variation pattern are assigned to the non-reach variation pattern PA1-2, and 501 to 900 is assigned to the fluctuation pattern PA2-1 out of normal reach, 901 to 970 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern PA2-2 out of super reach α, and 971 to 977 are out of super reach β fluctuation pattern PA2 -3.

In the losing variation pattern determination table C, 1 to 997 out of 1 to 997 that the random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern can take are assigned to the non-reach variation pattern PA1-3.

FIG. 12-9 shows a configuration example of a display result determination table stored in the ROM 101. FIG. In this embodiment, as the display result determination table, a common display result determination table is used for the first special figure and the second special figure, but the present invention is not limited to this. and the second special figure may use separate display result determination tables.

The display result determination table is determined to be a variable display result in a special game using the first special symbol by the first special symbol display device 4A or a special symbol game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B. Before the special symbol is derived and displayed, it is referred to determine whether or not to control the variable display result to a "jackpot" to a jackpot game state based on the random number MR1 for judging the special symbol display result. is a table.

In the display result determination table, depending on whether the game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state or a time saving state (low probability state) or a variable probability state (high probability state), random for special figure display result judgment A numerical value (determined value) to be compared with the numerical value MR1 is assigned to a special figure display result of "big win" or "losing".

In the display result determination table, the table data indicating the determination value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is the determination result of whether or not to control the special figure display result as "big win" to the big win game state. It is data for judgment to be assigned. In the display result determination table, when the gaming state is a probability variable state (high probability state), more judgment values than when it is a normal state or a time saving state (low probability state), "big hit" special figure display result assigned to. As a result, in the variable probability state (high probability state) where the variable probability control is performed in the pachinko game machine 1, when the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state), the special figure display result is set as "big hit" and controlled to the big hit game state. Then, compared to the determined probability (about 1/200 in this embodiment), the probability of being determined when the special figure display result is set to "big win" and controlled to the big win game state becomes higher (about 1/100 in this embodiment). ). That is, in the display result determination table, when the game state in the pachinko game machine 1 is the probability variable state (high probability state), the probability of determining to control to the jackpot game state compared to the normal state or the time-saving state is higher. The determination data is assigned to the determination result of whether or not to control to the jackpot game state so as to increase.

That is, when the value of MR1 matches any of the hit determination values corresponding to the big wins shown in FIG. Determining whether or not to make a big hit means determining whether or not to control to the big win game state. It is also to decide whether or not to make it a big hit pattern.

12-9 (B) and (C) are explanatory diagrams showing the big hit type determination table (for the first special symbol) and the big hit type determination table (for the second special symbol) stored in the ROM 101. FIG. Of these, FIG. 12-9 (B) determines the jackpot type using the reserved memory based on the game ball winning the first start winning port (that is, when the variable display of the first special symbol is performed) This is a table for when In addition, FIG. 12-9 (C) determines the jackpot type using the reservation memory based on the game ball winning the second start winning opening (that is, when the variable display of the second special symbol is performed) This is a table of cases.

The jackpot type determination table selects a jackpot type from jackpot A to jackpot B based on a random number (MR2) for hit type determination when it is determined that the variable display result is a jackpot pattern. This table is referenced to determine In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 12-9 (B) and (C), the big hit type determination table (for the first special symbol) is provided with a big hit A and a big hit B. A big hit B and a big hit C are provided in the big hit type determination table (for the second special symbol).

Here, the jackpot types in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 12-8(E). In this embodiment, jackpots A to C are set as the jackpot types.

Of these big wins A to C, the big wins A and B are big wins in which four rounds (so-called four rounds) of changing the big win opening to the second state advantageous to the player are repeatedly executed. C is a big win in which 10 rounds (so-called 10 rounds) are repeated to change the big winning hole to the second state that is advantageous to the player.

Furthermore, after the end of the jackpot game state of jackpot A to jackpot C, time-saving control is executed over a maximum of 100 variable displays, and the game ball is detected by the second count switch 24 in the first round. On the condition that there is, probability variable control is executed over a maximum of 100 times of variable display.

The jackpot A is a jackpot type in which the jackpot is opened according to the opening pattern KP-1 in the first round, and the jackpot is opened according to the opening pattern KP-3 in the second and subsequent rounds. B and big win C are big win types in which the big win opening is opened according to the opening pattern KP-2 in the first round, and the big winning opening is opened according to the opening pattern KP-3 in the second and subsequent rounds.

Here, the configuration of the special variable winning ball device 7 in this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 12-10, the upper end of the special variable winning ball device 7 is formed with a large winning opening. As described above, when the second solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door 711 (for the special electric accessory) is in the off state, the large winning opening closes the large winning opening (the first solenoid). state), the game ball cannot enter (pass through) the big winning hole. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the second solenoid 82 for the big winning gate door is in the ON state, the big winning gate door opens the big winning gate (second state), and the game balls Makes it easier to enter the big prize pool.

As shown in FIG. 12-10, inside the special variable winning ball device 7, there is formed a game ball flow path 750 through which a game ball that has entered the big winning opening can flow down. The game ball flow path 750 includes a main path 740 (an area along the solid line in FIG. 12-10) through which game balls that have passed through the big winning opening can pass, and a branch path 741 (FIG. 12-10) branching downward from the main path 740. 10 middle dotted line). At the upper end of the branch path 741, a restricting member 712 is provided which can advance and retreat in the front-rear direction by being driven by a third solenoid. When the third solenoid 83 is in the off state, the restricting member 712 protrudes into the game ball flow path 750 to prevent the game ball from entering the branch path 741, and when the third solenoid 83 is in the on state In some cases, the entry of the game ball into the branch path 741 is permitted by retreating from the inside of the game ball flow path 750 .

A second count switch 24 is provided downstream of the branch path 741 , and the game ball is detected by the second count switch 24 by passing through the second count switch 24 . Incidentally, the game ball that has flowed down the main path 740 and the game ball that has flowed down the branch path 741 are finally guided to the back side of the game board 2 through a through hole (not shown) formed in the game board 2, and It is designed to be detected by the out switch 26 .

Here, as shown in FIG. 12-11 (A), the above-described open pattern KP-1 means that the second solenoid 82 is in an OFF state from the start timing T1 of the round game to the timing T2, and from the timing T2 to the timing This is an opening pattern in which the second solenoid 82 is turned on from timing T2 to timing T3, so that the big winning opening is in an open state (second state) from timing T2 to timing T3. Further, the above-mentioned open pattern KP-1 is an open pattern in which the third solenoid 83 is in an ON state from the round game start timing T1 to a timing T2, and the third solenoid 83 is in an OFF state from the timing T2 to the timing T3. But also. In other words, in the open pattern KP-1, the entry of the game ball entering the big winning hole into the branch path 741 is blocked by the restricting member 712 during the period when the big winning hole is in the open state. This is an open pattern in which the 2-count switch 24 cannot be passed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12-11 (B), the above-described release pattern KP-2 is the second time from the round game start timing T1 to timing T4 (T4: timing between timing T2 and timing T3). The solenoid 82 is in the ON state, and the second solenoid 82 is in the OFF state from the timing T4, whereby the big winning opening is in the open state (second state) from the timing T1 to the timing T4. Further, the above-described open pattern KP-2 is an open pattern in which the third solenoid 83 is in an ON state from the round game start timing T1 to a timing T2, and the third solenoid 83 is in an OFF state from the timing T2 to the timing T3. But also. That is, in the open pattern KP-2, the large winning opening is open from timing T1 to timing T4, and the game ball entering the large winning opening enters the branch path 741 from timing T1 to timing T2. It is a solution pattern that can pass through the second count switch 24 .

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12-11 (C), the above-described open pattern KP-3 is that the second solenoid 82 is in an off state from the start timing T1 of the round game to the timing T2, and from the timing T2 to the timing T3. This is an opening pattern in which the big winning opening is in an open state (second state) from timing T2 to timing T3 because the second solenoid 82 is in the ON state. Incidentally, in the opening pattern KP-3, the third solenoid is in the OFF state and never in the ON state. In other words, in the open pattern KP-3, the entry of the game ball entering the big winning hole into the branch path 741 is blocked by the restricting member 712 during the period when the big winning hole is in the open state. This is an open pattern in which the 2-count switch 24 cannot be passed.

That is, as shown in FIG. 12-9(D), the big hit A is that even if the player launches the game ball toward the right game area toward 2R during the big win game, the game ball pushes the second count switch 24. By not passing, while time-saving control is executed over a maximum of 100 variable displays after the end of the jackpot game, probability variable control is not executed (controlled to a time-saving state) jackpot type (substantial non-probable variable jackpot). Also, for the big hits B and C, if the player launches the game ball toward the right game area 2R during the big win game, the game ball passes through the second count switch 24 with an extremely high probability (almost 100%). By doing so, it is a jackpot type (substantially variable probability jackpot) in which time saving control and variable probability control are executed (controlled to a variable probability state) over a maximum of 100 variable displays after the end of the jackpot game.

In this embodiment, when the variable display result of the first special symbol in the normal state results in a big win, the player launches a game ball toward the right game area 2R from the start of the big win game, thereby opening a big winning opening. When the game ball wins, the prize ball is paid out, and after the end of the big hit game, the game state is controlled to the time saving state or the probability variable state, and the player shoots the game ball toward the right game area 2R. By continuing to launch, the variable display of the second special symbol is mainly executed. Here, as shown in FIG. 12-9(C), when the result of variable display of the second special symbol is a big win, the big win type is either a big win B or a big win C, which is a substantial probability variable big win. Therefore, after the jackpot game ends, the game state is controlled to the probability variable state with a very high probability. As described above, after being controlled to the big hit game state based on the variable display of the first special symbol in the normal state, the player mainly launches the game ball toward the right game area 2R. A state that repeats a state is called a renso state.

In this embodiment, three types of jackpot A to jackpot C are provided as jackpot types, but the present invention is not limited to this, and four or more jackpot types may be provided. , two types or less may be provided.

The RAM 102 provided in the game control microcomputer 100 shown in FIG. 12-2 may be a backup RAM partially or wholly backed up by a backup power supply created on a predetermined power supply board. That is, even if the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is stopped, the contents of part or all of the RAM 102 are preserved for a certain period of time (until the capacitor as the backup power supply is discharged and the backup power supply becomes unable to supply power). be. In particular, at least data (such as a special process flag) corresponding to the game state, that is, the control state of the game control means and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls may be saved in the backup RAM. The data corresponding to the control state of the game control means is data necessary for restoring the control state before the occurrence of a power failure or the like based on the data when the game is restored after a power failure or the like. Data corresponding to the control state and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are defined as data indicating the progress of the game.

The RAM 102 is provided with a game control data holding area 005SG150, for example, as shown in FIG. It is The game control data holding area 005SG150 shown in FIG. 12-12 includes a first special figure reservation storage unit 005SG151A, a second special figure reservation storage unit 005SG151B, a normal figure reservation storage unit 005SG151C, and a game control flag setting unit 005SG152. , a game control timer setting unit 005SG153, a game control counter setting unit 005SG154, and a game control buffer setting unit 005SG155.

The first special figure reservation storage unit 005SG151A is a special feature that has not yet started although the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A and the start winning (first starting winning) has occurred. The pending data of the figure game (the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A) is stored. As an example, the first special figure reservation storage unit 005SG151A is associated with the reservation number in the order of winning to the first start winning opening (the order of detection of the game ball), the first start condition in the passage (entry) of the game ball Numerical data indicating random number MR1 for variable display result determination, random number MR2 for winning type determination, random number MR3 for variation pattern determination, etc. extracted from random number circuit 104 etc. by CPU 103 based on establishment are held data. , until the stored number reaches a predetermined upper limit value (for example, "4"). The suspension data stored in the first special figure suspension storage unit 005SG151A in this way indicates that the execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is suspended, and the variable display result in this special figure game (special figure display (result)), which makes it possible to determine whether or not it will be a big hit.

In the display monitor 21TM029 of this embodiment, the main board 11 (CPU 103) controls the base L, the base 1, the base 2, and the base 3 to sequentially display them. For example, as shown in FIGS. 12-15, the main substrate 11 performs control to switch the display of the display monitor 21TM029 in the order of base L→base 1→base 2→base 3 at intervals of 5 seconds.

(motion)
Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko game machine 1 will be described.

(Main operation of the main board 11, game control main processing)
First, main operations in the main board 11 will be described. When power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes game control main processing. 12-16 are flow charts showing game control main processing executed by the CPU 103 on the main board 11. FIG.

In the game control main process shown in FIGS. 12-16, the CPU 103 first sets interrupt prohibition (step S1). Subsequently, necessary initial settings are performed (step S2). Initial settings include stack pointer setting, internal device register setting (CTC (counter/timer circuit), parallel input/output port, etc.), setting to make RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

Next, it is determined whether or not the recovery condition is satisfied. The recovery condition can be satisfied when the clear signal is off (step S3; Yes), there is backup data (step S4; Yes), and the backup RAM is normal (step S5; Yes). When the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, for example, if a clear switch provided on the power supply board 17 is pressed, a clear signal in an ON state is input to the game control microcomputer 100 . If such an on-state clear signal is input, it may be determined in step S3 that the restoration condition is not established. The backup data may be stored in the RAM 102 serving as a backup RAM for game control. In step S3, the presence or absence of backup data, the presence or absence of data errors, etc. may be confirmed or inspected to determine whether or not the recovery condition can be established.

If the recovery condition is satisfied (steps S3, S4, S5; Yes), after executing recovery processing (step S6) and command transmission at recovery (step S7), setting processing of the serial communication circuit 21TM505 is executed. (Step S10a) and a random number circuit setting process (Step S10b). The work area is set based on the contents stored in the RAM 102 by the recovery process in step S6. By setting the work area using the backup data stored in the RAM 102, the game state when the power supply is stopped can be restored. It is sufficient if it is possible to restart the fluctuation of the design.

In the recovery process (step S6) of this embodiment, the state of the game stop flag in the backup data is confirmed, and it is determined whether or not the game stop flag was set when the power failure occurred. Incidentally, the game stop flag is a flag indicating that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled in a game stop state. If the game stop flag is set when the power failure occurs (when the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped when the power failure occurs), the MY counter value described later is restored from the backup data, and the power is restored. If the game stop flag is not set at the time of power failure (if the pachinko game machine 1 is playable at the time of power failure), the MY counter value, which will be described later, is not restored from the backup data, "0" is set as the MY counter value.

In the setting process of step S10b, a connection confirmation signal is output from the output circuit 21TM067 of the main board 11 to the input circuit 21TM373A of the payout control board 21TM037 (see FIGS. 12-30 and 12-31). Further, the communication between the serial communication circuit 21TM505 of the game control microcomputer 100 and the serial communication circuit 21TM380 of the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 is set to be executable.

If the recovery condition is not met (No in any of steps S3, S4, and S5), after executing the initialization process (step S8) and the transmission of the initialization designation command (step S9), A setting process for the serial communication circuit 21TM505 is executed (step S10a), and a random number circuit setting process (step S10b) is executed. The initialization processing in step S8 includes clear processing for clearing the flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and initial values are set in the work area by executing the clear processing. In particular, the initialization process (step 8) of this embodiment includes the process of clearing the game stop flag and setting the MY counter value to "0" regardless of the content of the backup data. That is, in the present embodiment, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in a game stop state, power failure occurs, and when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is powered on with the operation of the clear switch 92, the pachinko gaming machine 1 It is designed to be started in a playable state (the game state is a normal state).

After executing the random number circuit setting process (step S10b), the CPU 103 sets the register of the CTC built in the game control microcomputer 100 so that the timer interrupt is periodically applied every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms). (step S11), and the interrupt is permitted (step S12). After that, loop processing is entered. Thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 at predetermined time intervals (for example, 2 ms), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing.

(Timer interrupt processing for game control)
When the CPU 103 that has executed such game control main processing receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and accepts the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt processing shown in the flow charts of FIGS. 12-17. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIGS. is executed (step S20a). Then, it is determined whether or not a game stop flag, which will be described later, is set (step S20b).

When the game stop flag is set (step S20b; No), the value of the special symbol process flag is specified (step S20c), and the value of the specified special symbol process flag is the big hit pre-opening process and the big hit open process. , It is determined whether or not it is a value corresponding to one of the jackpot opening post-processing (step S20d).

If the game stop flag is not set (step S20b; No) or if the value of the specified special symbol process flag is a value according to one of the big hit open pre-processing, the big hit open process, and the big hit open post-process ( Step S20d; Yes), the CPU 103 executes a predetermined switch process to cause the gate switch 21, the first starter switch 22A, the second starter switch 22B, the first count switch 23, the second starter switch 22B, the second starter switch 22B, the It is determined whether or not detection signals have been received from various switches such as the 2-count switch 24, the general winning switch 25, and the out switch 26 (step S21). Subsequently, prize ball processing ( Step S21a), first starting switch 22A, second starting switch 22B, first count switch 23, second count switch 24, general winning switch 25, base value based on detection of game ball in out switch 26 (See FIG. 12-14 (C)) Winning information processing (step S21b), Winning information display control processing (step S21c) for displaying the calculated base value on the display monitor 21TM029 as shown in FIG. 12-15 to run. Also, by executing a predetermined main-side error process, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is diagnosed for abnormality, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). After that, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, jackpot information (information indicating the number of occurrences of jackpots, etc.), start information (start Data such as information indicating the number of wins, etc.), probability change information (information indicating the number of times the odd state has occurred, etc.) is output (step S23).

Following the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least part of the game random numbers used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (step S24). After that, the CPU 103 executes a special symbol process (step S25). By the CPU 103 executing the special symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, execution and suspension management of the special symbol game, control of the big hit game state, control of the game state, and the like are realized.

Following the special symbol process, the normal symbol process is executed (step S26). The CPU 103 executes normal symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, thereby managing the execution and suspension of the normal symbol game based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the game ball passing through the passage gate 41), It is possible to control the opening of the variable winning ball device 6B based on the "normal game hit". The execution of the normal pattern game is performed by driving the normal pattern display device 20, and the number of normal pattern reservations is displayed by lighting the normal pattern reservation display device 25C.

After executing the normal symbol process processing, as part of the game control timer interrupt processing, processing when power failure occurs, processing for paying out prize balls, and the like may be performed. After that, the CPU 103 executes command control processing (step S27). The CPU 103 may set the effect control command to be transmitted in each of the processes described above. In the command control process of step S27, a process of transmitting the effect control command set for transmission to the sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 is performed. After executing the command control process, after permitting the interrupt, the game control timer interrupt process is terminated.

In addition, when the value of the specified special symbol process flag is not a value corresponding to any one of the jackpot opening pre-processing, the jackpot opening middle processing, and the jackpot opening post-processing, the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped. A game stop process (step S20e) is executed, and the game control timer interrupt process is terminated.

(power-off detection processing)
12-18 are flowcharts showing the power failure detection process. In the power-off detection process, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not a power-off signal indicating that the power supply voltage from the power supply board (not shown) has dropped below a predetermined value has been input (005SGS081). If no power-off signal is input (005SGS081; N), the process is terminated. 005SGS082), and stores the identified backup data in the backup data storage area provided in the RAM 122 (005SGS083). Then, after creating check data to be used when restoring the backup data and storing it in the backup data storage area (005SGS084), the system shifts to loop processing in which no processing is executed until the pachinko game machine 1 is powered off.

In addition, the data to be backed up includes the game stop flag, the special symbol process flag value, the MY counter value, the first special symbol reservation memory, the second special symbol reservation memory, the general pattern reservation memory, the variable special symbol designation buffer value, the time saving A flag, probability variation flag, time saving counter value, jackpot flag, etc. are included.

FIG. 12-19 is a flowchart showing game stop monitoring processing. In the game stop monitoring process, the CPU 103 first determines whether any one of the first start switch 22A, the second start switch 22B, the first count switch 23, the general winning switch 25, and the out switch 26 is turned on in the switch process. It is determined whether or not (005SGS051). In the switch process, if any of the first start switch 22A, second start switch 22B, first count switch 23, general winning switch 25, and out switch 26 is turned on (005SGS051; Y), it is turned on A value corresponding to the switch that has become is added to the MY counter value (005SGS052).

After execution of 005SGS052, or when none of the first start switch 22A, the second start switch 22B, the first count switch 23, the general winning switch 25, and the out switch 26 are turned on in the switch processing (005SGS051 ;N), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the out switch 26 is turned on in the switch process (005SGS053). When the OUT switch 26 is turned on in the switching process, if the MY counter value is not 0 (005SGS054; N), the MY counter value is decremented by 1 (005SGS055).

After execution of 005SGS055, if the out switch 26 did not turn on in the switch processing (005SGS053; N), if the MY counter value is 0 (005SGS054; Y), the CPU 103 specifies the MY counter value (005SGS056 ) and determines whether the MY counter value is 98194 or more (005SGS057). When the MY counter value is not 98194 or more (005SGS057; N), the game stop monitoring process is terminated, and when the MY counter value is 98194 or more (005SGS057; Y), a game stop flag is set and the game stop monitoring process is executed. (005SGS058).

In this embodiment, the pachinko game machine 1 is stopped (the pachinko game machine 1 is controlled to be in a game stop state) under the condition that the MY counter value reaches 98194. Here, the reason for stopping the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 on condition that the MY counter value reaches 98194 will be described in detail. First, in the conventional pachinko game machine, since the lottery for the big win is carried out with a predetermined probability, although the probability is extremely low, a lucky player can achieve the design value by winning the big win many times a day. There was a possibility of winning more prize balls (for example, 100,000 balls). For this reason, as a measure to prevent the gambling spirit of the players from being excessively stimulated in the pachinko machine, the conventional jackpot probability, the consecutive game continuation rate (the game state does not go through the normal state, and the jackpot game state It is not enough to limit the number of prize balls that can be obtained in one jackpot game, and the prizes that can be obtained by a player in one day's game in a pachinko machine. A mechanism for limiting the number of balls is needed.

For the above reasons, in this embodiment, the MY counter value is provided, and the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped on condition that the MY counter value reaches 98194. It should be noted that the MY counter value "98194" for stopping the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is an excessive winning prize to the big winning opening during the big winning game (the winning of more game balls than expected during the big winning game) (also referred to as over-winning) and other prize balls from other prize-winning openings, the jackpot game is executed to the last round game without the MY counter value reaching "100000", and the maximum prize is given to the player. It is a numerical value that can perform the payout of the ball.

(Special pattern process processing)
FIG. 12-20 is a flow chart showing an example of processing executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 12-17 as the special symbol process processing. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a starting winning determination process (step S101).

In the starting prize determination process, the process of detecting the occurrence of the starting prize, storing pending information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and updating the number of pending memories is executed. When a starting prize is generated, a random number value for determining the display result (including the jackpot type) and the variation pattern is extracted and stored as pending information. Further, based on the extracted random number value, a process of pre-reading and judging the display result and the variation pattern may be executed. After storing the pending information and the number of pending memories, the transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command for specifying the determination result such as the occurrence of the start winning, the number of pending memories, and the prefetch determination is performed on the effect control board 12. will be The effect control command at the time of start winning set to be transmitted in this way is, for example, after the special symbol process process is completed, by executing the command control process of step S27 shown in FIG. It is transmitted to the substrate 12 .

After executing the starting prize determination process in step S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes one of the processes of steps S110 to S117 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the RAM102. In addition, in each process (steps S110 to S117) of the special symbol process process, transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command corresponding to each process to the effect control board 12 is performed.

The special symbol normal process of step S110 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "0" (initial value). In this special symbol normal process, it is determined whether or not to start the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game based on the presence or absence of pending information. In addition, in the special symbol normal processing, based on the random number value for determining the display result, whether or not the display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is to be a "big hit" and the type of the big hit in the case of a "big hit" are determined by the display result. is determined (predetermined) before is derived and displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal process, a fixed special symbol (either a big hit symbol or a losing symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special symbol game is set according to the determined display result. After that, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "1", and the special symbol normal process ends. In addition, the special figure game using the second special figure may be executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure (also called special figure 2 priority digestion). Also, the winning order of the game balls to the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening may be stored, and the start condition of the special game may be established in the order of winning (also called winning order).

When making various decisions based on random numbers, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (tables in which decision values to be compared with random numbers are assigned to decision results) are referred to. Other decisions on the main board 11 and various decisions on the effect control board 12 are the same. Various tables are stored in the ROM 121 of the effect control board 12 .

The variation pattern setting process of step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "1". This variation pattern setting process includes a process of determining one of a plurality of variation patterns using a random number value for determining the variation pattern based on the result of pre-determination of whether or not the display result is a "big hit". It is included. In the variation pattern setting process, when the variation pattern is determined, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "2", and the variation pattern setting process ends.

The variation pattern is the execution time of the special game (special figure fluctuation time) (also the execution time of the variable display of the decorative pattern), the form of variable display of the decorative pattern (whether or not there is reach, etc.), and the variable display of the decorative pattern It designates the content of the production (type of reach production, etc.), and is also called a variable display pattern.

The special symbol variation process of step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "2". This special symbol variation processing includes a process of setting for varying the special symbols in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and the elapsed time after the special symbol starts to vary. It includes a process to measure . Also, it is determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure variation time corresponding to the variation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the special symbol variation reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3", and the special symbol variation processing ends.

The special symbol stop processing of step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "3". In this special symbol stop processing, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B stop the variation of the special symbol, and stop display (derivate) the fixed special symbol which is the display result of the special symbol. It includes a process to set for Then, when the display result is "big hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". On the other hand, when the display result is "off", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". When the display result is "missing", when it is controlled to the time saving state or the probability variable state, and when the finished variable display is the 100th variable display in the time saving state or the probability variable state, the game state is also Updated. When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

The jackpot opening preprocessing of step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "4". This jackpot opening pre-processing includes processing for making settings for starting a round in the jackpot game state and opening the jackpot, based on the fact that the display result is a "jackpot". is When opening the big winning opening, a process of supplying a solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door is executed. At this time, for example, an upper limit opening period for opening the big winning opening and an upper limit execution number of rounds are set according to the type of the jackpot. When these settings are completed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", and the big hit opening pretreatment is completed.

The process during jackpot opening of step S115 is performed when the value of a special figure process flag is "5". In this jackpot opening processing, a processing for measuring the elapsed time from opening the jackpot, and based on the measured elapsed time, the number of game balls detected by the first count switch 23, etc. It includes a process of determining whether or not it is time to return the winning opening from the open state to the closed state. Moreover, based on the detection of the game ball by the second count switch 24, the process of setting for transmitting the V winning notification command to the effect control board 12 is also included. The V winning notification command set for transmission is transmitted to the effect control board 12 by the CPU 103 executing the command control process (see FIGS. 12-17). Then, when returning the large winning opening to the closed state, after executing processing such as stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "6", The process during jackpot opening is terminated.

The jackpot opening post-processing of step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "6". This jackpot opening post-processing includes a process of determining whether or not the number of executions of a round in which the jackpot is opened has reached a set upper limit execution number, and a jackpot game state when the number of executions reaches the upper limit execution number. It includes processing to make settings for terminating . Then, when the number of executions of the round has not reached the upper limit number of executions, the value of the special process flag is updated to "5", while when the number of executions of the round reaches the upper limit number of executions, the special process flag The value is updated to "7". When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the jackpot release post-processing ends.

The jackpot end processing of step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "7". This jackpot end processing includes a process of waiting until the waiting time corresponding to the period in which the ending production as a production operation for informing the end of the jackpot game state has passed, and a probability change corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state. It includes processing for performing various settings for starting control and time saving control. When such setting is performed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the jackpot ending process ends.

(Start winning judgment process)
FIG. 12-21 is a flow chart showing the starting winning judgment process (S101) shown in FIG. 12-20. In the starting winning judgment process, the CPU 103 first turns on the first starting opening switch 22A based on the detection signal from the first starting opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A. (005SGS101). At this time, if the first starting port switch 22A is on (005SGS101; Y), the first special figure pending memory number, which is the number of reserved memories of the special figure game using the first special figure, is a predetermined upper limit value ( For example, it is determined whether or not "4" as the upper limit storage number) (005SGS102). CPU103, for example by reading the 1st reservation memory number count value which is the storage value of the 1st reservation memory number counter provided in game control counter setting section 005SG154, it should have specified the number of the 1st special figure reservation memory. 005SGS102 when the first special figure pending storage number is not the upper limit value (005SGS102; N), for example, the storage value of the starting opening buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 005SG155 is set to "1" (005SGS103) .

When the first starting port switch 22A is off at 005SGS101 (005SGS101; N), and when the number of first special figure reserved storage has reached the upper limit at 005SGS102 (005SGS102; Y), the variable winning ball device 6B Based on the detection signal from the second starting opening switch 22B provided corresponding to the second starting winning opening formed by , it is determined whether or not the second starting opening switch 22B is ON (005SGS104). At this time, if the second starting port switch 22B is on (005SGS104; Y), the second special figure pending memory number, which is the number of reserved memories of the special figure game using the second special figure, is a predetermined upper limit value ( For example, it is determined whether or not "4" as the upper limit storage number is reached (005SGS105). CPU103, for example by reading the second reservation memory number count value which is the stored value of the second reservation memory number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 005SG154, it is sufficient if it can specify the number of second special figure reservation memory. In 005SGS105, when the number of second special figure pending storage is not the upper limit value (005SGS105; N), for example, the storage value of the starting opening buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 005SG155 is set to "2" (S106). .

After executing either of the processes of 005SGS103 and 005SGS106, the number of special figure pending storage corresponding to the starting opening buffer value, which is the stored value of the starting opening buffer, is updated so as to add 1 (005SGS107). For example, when the starting buffer value is "1", the first reserved storage number count value is incremented by 1, while when the starting buffer value is "2", the second reserved storage number count value is incremented by 1. In this way, the first reserved memory number count value is set to 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the first special figure is established. Updated to increase. In addition, the second reserved memory number count value is 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the second special figure is established. Updated to increase. At this time, the total reserved storage number is also updated by adding 1 (005SGS108). For example, the total reserved memory number count value, which is the stored value of the total reserved memory number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 005SG154, may be updated so as to add 1.

After executing the process of 005SGS108, the CPU 103 selects the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination and the hit type determination from among the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 104 and the random counter of the game control counter setting unit 005SG154. Numerical data representing the random number MR2 for the fluctuation pattern determination and the random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern are extracted (005SGS109). Numerical data indicating each random number extracted in this way is stored by being set as suspension information at the beginning of the empty entry in the special figure suspension storage unit corresponding to the starting opening buffer value (005SGS110). For example, when the starting buffer value is "1", numerical data indicating random numbers MR1 to MR3 are stored in the first special figure reservation storage unit 005SG151A, while the starting buffer value is "2", Numerical data indicating random numbers MR1 to MR3 are stored in the second special figure reservation storage unit 005SG151B.

The numerical data indicating the random number MR1 for judging the result of the special figure display and the random number MR2 for judging the type of hit determine whether the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is a "big hit" or "small hit". is used to determine the jackpot type when the variable display result is "jackpot". The random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern is used to determine the variation pattern including the variable display time of the special symbols and decorative symbols. By executing the process of 005SGS109, the CPU 103 extracts numerical data representing all of the random numbers used for determining the variable display mode including the result of variable display of special symbols and decorative symbols and the variable display time.

Following the processing of 005SGS110, the transmission setting of the starting opening winning designation command according to the starting opening buffer value is performed (005SGS111). For example, when the starting opening buffer value is "1", the storage address of the first starting opening winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer. 12 for sending the first starting entry winning designation command. On the other hand, when the starting opening buffer value is "2", the storage address of the second starting opening winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area of the transmission command buffer. Make settings for sending the second start winning designation command. The start opening winning designation command set in this manner is, for example, after the special symbol process processing is completed, by executing the command control processing of S27 shown in FIG. transmitted as

After the process of 005SGS111, the CPU 103 executes the winning random number value determination process (005SGS112). After that, for example, by storing the storage address of the pending storage number notification command table in the ROM 101 in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer, etc., the pending storage number notification command is transmitted to the effect control board 12 (005SGS113). The reserved memory number notification command set in this manner is, for example, after the special symbol process process is completed, by executing the command control process of S27 shown in FIG. transmitted as

After executing the processing of 005SGS113, it is determined whether or not the start buffer value is "1" (005SGS114). At this time, if the start buffer value is "1" (Y at 005SGS114), the start buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to "0" (005SGS115), and then the process proceeds to 2390SGS104. On the other hand, when the start buffer value is "2" (N at 005SGS114), the start buffer is cleared and the stored value is initialized to "0" (005SGS116), then the start winning process is executed. finish. Thus, even when both the first starter switch 22A and the second starter switch 22B simultaneously detect valid starting winnings of game balls, processing based on the detection of both valid starting winnings can be reliably completed.

(Random value determination process when winning a prize)
FIG. 12-22(A) is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed by the 005SGS 112 in FIG. 12-21 as the winning random number determination process. In this embodiment, when the variable display of the special symbols and decorative symbols is started, whether or not to control the special symbol display result (variable display result of the special symbol) as "big win" to the big win game state by the special symbol normal processing. A determination is made as to whether Further, in the variation pattern setting process, determination of a variation pattern that specifically defines the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is performed. On the other hand, apart from these determinations, at the timing when the game ball is detected in the starting winning opening (first starting winning opening or second starting winning opening), the CPU 103 executes the winning random number determination process of S112. Then, it is determined whether or not it is determined to derive and display a big hit pattern or a small hit pattern as a special figure display result. As a result, before the start of the variable display of the special symbols and decorative symbols based on the detection of the game ball that has entered the starting winning hole, that is, before the start of the variable display, it is determined whether or not the big win is to be made. Before, it is determined that the special figure display result will be a "big hit", and based on this determination result, the effect control CPU 120 etc. As will be described later, the pre-reading notice (holding display effect) is executed. become.

12-22, the CPU 103 specifies the current gaming state (005SGS121) and selects and sets the display result determination table shown in FIG. 12-9(A) (005SGS122). . After that, whether the numerical data indicating the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination extracted at 005SGS109 of FIG. (005SGS123). In the jackpot judgment range, individual judgment values assigned to the special figure display result of "jackpot" in the display result judgment table selected by the processing of 005SGS122 are set, and the CPU 103 compares the random number MR1 and each judgment value. It is only necessary to determine whether or not there is a determination value that matches the random value MR1 by performing point-by-point comparison. Alternatively, numerical values indicating the minimum (lower limit) and maximum (upper limit) of the determination values included in the jackpot determination range are set, and the CPU 103 determines the random number MR1 and the minimum and maximum values of the jackpot determination range. It is only necessary to determine whether or not the random number MR1 is within the jackpot determination range by comparison. At this time, by determining that the random number MR1 is within the jackpot determination range, it can be determined that the variable display result based on the reserved data including the random number MR1 is determined to be a "big hit".

When it is determined in 005SGS123 that it is not within the jackpot determination range, that is, when it is determined that the jackpot will not occur during the variable display (005SGS123; N), transmission setting of the symbol designation command corresponding to the loss is performed (005SGS128). ). In addition, it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is set, that is, whether or not the current gaming state is the time saving state or probability variable state (005SGS129). If the time saving flag is not set (005SGS129; N), select the deviation pattern determination table A and proceed to 005SGS138 (005SGS130), and if the time saving flag is set (005SGS129; Y), for loss Select variation pattern determination table C and proceed to 005SGS138.

Also, when it is determined that it is within the jackpot determination range at 005SGS123, that is, when it is determined to be a jackpot at the time of variable display (005SGS123; Y), the jackpot type extracted at 005SGS109 in FIG. 12-21 Select the jackpot type determination table (see FIGS. 12-9 (B) and 12-9 (C)) corresponding to the numerical data indicating the random number MR2 for judgment and the start buffer value, and judge the jackpot type ( 005SGS132), execute the transmission setting of the symbol designation command according to the determined big hit type (005SGS133), select the big hit variation pattern determination table, and proceed to 005SGS138.

In the process of 005SGS138, using each variation pattern determination table set in each step and the numerical data indicating the random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern, the variation category corresponding to the range of the determination value including the random number MR3 is determined. Determine (005SGS138). In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12-22(B), at least when the variable display result is "loss", the variable display mode of "non-reach" is common regardless of the total number of pending memories. A variable category, a variable category that is a variable display mode of "super reach", and a variable category of "other" that is a variable display mode other than "non-reach" and "super reach" (for example, normal reach) are provided. It suffices if it is possible to determine whether or not it is determined to be in such a fluctuation category based on the numerical value MR3.

After that, after performing the setting for transmitting the variable category designation command according to the determination result by the process of 005SGS138 to the effect control board 12 (005SGS132), the random value determination process at the time of winning is ended.

In addition, the command set for transmission is transmitted to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control processing shown in FIG. 12-17 by the CPU 103 .

(Special pattern normal processing)
FIG. 12-23 is a flow chart showing an example of processing executed in S110 of FIG. 12-20 as special symbol normal processing. In the special symbol normal process shown in FIG. 12-23, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the second special symbol reservation storage number is "0" (005SGS161). The number of second special symbol pending storage is the number of pending storage of the special symbol game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B. For example, in the process of 005SGS161, it is sufficient to read the second reserved storage number count value stored in the game control counter setting section and determine whether or not the read value is "0".

When the second special figure pending storage number is other than "0" in 005SGS161 (005SGS161; N), as the pending data stored corresponding to the pending number "1" in the second special figure pending storage unit, Random number MR1 for special figure display result determination, random number MR2 for big hit type determination, and random number MR3 for variation pattern determination are read out (005SGS162). The numerical data read at this time may be temporarily stored in, for example, a variable random number buffer.

Following the processing of 005SGS162, by subtracting 1 from the second special figure reserved memory number count value and the total reserved memory number count value and updating it, etc., the second special figure reserved memory number and the total reserved memory number are subtracted by 1. Along with updating like this, the data of the second special figure reservation storage unit is updated. Specifically, the random numbers MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the reservation number "1" in the second special figure reservation storage unit (for example, the entries corresponding to the reservation numbers "2" to "4") are shown. The pending data is shifted upward by one entry (005SGS163).

After that, after updating the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value which is the storage value of the fluctuation special figure designation buffer to "2" (005SGS164), it moves to 005SGS169.

On the other hand, in 005SGS161, when the second special figure pending memory number is "0" (005SGS161; Y), it is determined whether or not the first special figure pending memory number is "0" (005SGS165). The number of the first special figure reserved memory is the number of reserved memories of the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A. For example, in the process of 005SGS165, the first reserved memory number count value stored in the first reserved memory number counter in the game control counter setting unit is read, and it is determined whether or not the read value is "0". . In this way, the process of 005SGS165 is executed when it is determined that the second special figure pending storage number is "0" in 005SGS161, and whether the first special figure pending storage number is "0" determine whether As a result, the special figure game using the second special figure is started to be executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure.

In addition, the special game using the second special figure is not limited to being executed with priority over the special game using the first special figure. Execution of the special figure game may be started in the order in which the game ball enters (passes) and the starting prize is generated. In this case, a table is provided for storing data capable of specifying the order in which the starting prizes are generated, and execution of the special figure game using either the first special figure or the second special figure is started from the stored data. It should be possible to determine whether

In 005SGS165, when the first special figure pending storage number is other than "0" (005SGS165; N), as the pending data stored corresponding to the pending number "1" in the first special figure pending storage unit, The numerical data indicating the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination, the random number MR2 for big hit type determination, and the random number MR3 for variation pattern determination are read out (005SGS166). The numerical data read at this time may be temporarily stored in, for example, a variable random number buffer.

Following the processing of 005SGS166, subtract 1 from the first special figure reservation number and the total reservation number by subtracting 1 from the first special figure reservation number count value and the total reservation number count value and updating it. Along with updating like this, the data in the first special figure reservation storage unit is updated. Specifically, the random numbers MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the reservation number "1" in the first special figure reservation storage unit (for example, the entries corresponding to the reservation numbers "2" to "4") are shown. The pending data is shifted up one entry at a time (005SGS167).

After that, after updating the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value which is the storage value of the fluctuation special figure designation buffer to "1" (005SGS168), it moves to 005SGS169.

In 005SGS169, the display result determination shown in FIG. Select and set a table. Subsequently, numerical data indicating the random number MR1 for special figure display result judgment stored in the variable random number buffer is compared with the judgment value assigned to each special figure display result of "big hit" or "loss" , It is determined whether the special figure display result is "big hit" or "loss".

When it is judged to be a "jackpot" in 005SGS170 (005SGS170; Y), the jackpot flag is turned on (005SGS172). At this time, the jackpot type determination table (see FIGS. 12-9 (B) and 12-9 (C)) is selected and set (005SGS173 ). For example, if the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is 1, select and set the first special symbol jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 12-9 (B), and if the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is 2 may be set by selecting the second special symbol jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 12-9(C). By referring to the jackpot type determination table set in this way, numerical data indicating the random number MR2 for jackpot type determination stored in the variable random number buffer, and "jackpot A" and "jackpot B" in the jackpot type determination table. , "jackpot C", which one of a plurality of types the jackpot type is to be determined (005SGS174).

Corresponding to the determined jackpot type, for example, by setting a jackpot type buffer value, which is a stored value of the jackpot type buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit (005SGS175), etc., the determined jackpot type is stored. do. As an example, when the jackpot type is "jackpot A", the jackpot type buffer value is set to "0", and when the jackpot type is "jackpot B", the jackpot type buffer value is set to "1", and the jackpot type is In the case of "jackpot C", the jackpot type buffer value should be set to "2". After processing 005SGS175, the process proceeds to 005SGS176. If 005SGS170 determines that there is a "miss" (005SGS170; N), the process proceeds to 005SGS176 without executing the processes of 005SGS172 to 005SGS175.

In 005SGS176, the CPU 103 determines whether or not to control to the jackpot game state (whether or not the jackpot flag is turned on). Set a fixed special pattern. As an example, in response to the pre-determined result that the special figure display result is to be "missed", a special symbol indicating a sign of "-", which is a lost symbol, is set as a fixed special symbol. In addition, when it is determined that the special figure display result is "jackpot" in 005SGS170, when the jackpot type in 005SGS174 is "jackpot A", the special symbol indicating the number "1" is determined. set to Further, when the jackpot type is "jackpot B", the special symbol indicating the number "2" is set as the fixed special symbol. Further, when the jackpot type is "jackpot C", a special symbol indicating the number "3" is set as a fixed special symbol. Incidentally, these fixed special symbols are examples, and fixed special symbols other than these may be set, and a plurality of types of symbols may be set as the fixed special symbols.

After setting the fixed special symbol in 005SGS176, specify the MY counter value (005SGS176a), perform the transmission setting of the MY counter value notification command according to the MY counter value (005SGS176b), the value of the special figure process flag After updating to "1" which is the value corresponding to the variation pattern setting process (005SGS177), the special symbol normal process is terminated.

In the process of 005SGS176b, if the MY counter value is 0 to 90000, the first MY counter value notification command, if the MY counter value is 90001 to 95000, the second MY counter value notification command, and if the MY counter value is 95001 to 98194 For example, the transmission setting of the third MY counter value notification command may be performed. Thus, since only three types of MY counter notification commands are provided in this embodiment, the CPU 103 does not have to transmit MY counter value notification commands corresponding to the respective values of 0 to 98194. Therefore, the number of types of commands that the CPU 103 transmits to the effect control board 12 can be reduced, and the processing load of the CPU 103 can be reduced. On the other hand, the effect control CPU 120 can grasp the approximate value of the MY counter value at each start timing of variable display of special symbols.

In addition, in this embodiment, as described above, the first to third MY counter value notification command exemplifies the form of notifying the approximate MY counter value to the effect control CPU 120, but the present invention is based on this. It is not limited, and the effect control CPU 120 may be notified of a specific MY counter value. For example, in addition to the above-described first to third MY counter value notification commands, the CPU 103 provides a command (E1XXH) for notifying the thousands digit of the MY counter value and a command for notifying the hundreds digit of the MY counter value. (E2XXH), a command (E3XXH) for notifying the tens digit of the MY counter value, and a command (E4XXH) for notifying the one digit of the MY counter value. The effect control CPU 120 may be able to specify the value of each place by the numerical value set as . By doing so, the effect control PU 120 receives the first to third MY counter value notification commands, E1XXH, E2XXH, E3XXH, and E4XXH commands, so that each time the variable display is executed, an accurate MY It becomes possible to specify the counter value.

In addition, when the reserved memory number of the special game using the first special figure in 005SGS165 is "0" (005SGS165; Y), after performing a predetermined demonstration display setting (005SGS178), the special symbol normal End the process. In this demonstration display setting, for example, an effect control command (customer waiting demo specification command) for designating a demonstration display (execution of a customer waiting demo effect) by displaying a predetermined effect image on the image display device 5 is transmitted to the main board 11. , it is determined whether or not it has been transmitted to the effect control board 12.例文帳に追加At this time, if the customer waiting demonstration specifying command has already been transmitted, the demonstration display setting is finished as it is. On the other hand, if the command has not yet been transmitted, the transmission setting for transmitting the customer waiting demonstration designation command is performed, and then the demonstration display setting is completed.

In addition, the MY counter value notification command set to be transmitted at 005SGS176b and the customer waiting demo designation command set to be transmitted at 005SGS178 are transmitted to the effect control board 12 by the CPU 103 executing the command control processing shown in FIGS. sent.

(Variation pattern setting process)
FIG. 12-24 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in S111 of FIG. 12-20 as the variation pattern setting process. In the variation pattern setting process, the CPU 103 first selects one variation pattern determination table from a plurality of variation pattern determination tables shown in FIG. Then, the variation pattern is determined using the value of the random number MR3 for variation pattern determination extracted in 005SGS109 of FIG. 12-21 and the selected variation pattern determination table (005SGS162).

Next, the CPU 103 uses the special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B according to the variable special symbol designation buffer value. Make settings for starting the variation of the special symbols so as to start any of the special symbols games. As an example, if the variable special figure designation buffer value is "1", the setting for transmitting the drive signal to update the display of the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A is performed. On the other hand, if the variable special figure designation buffer value is "2", the setting for transmitting the drive signal to update the display of the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B is performed (005SGS163).

Following the processing of 005SGS163, settings are made for transmitting various commands that are used at the start of fluctuation of special symbols (005SGS164). For example, when the variable special figure designation buffer value is "1", the CPU 103, from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12, the game state designation command, the first variable display start command, the fluctuation pattern designation command, the variable display In order to sequentially transmit the result designation command and the first pending storage number notification command, the setting data indicating the storage address (head address) in the ROM 101 of the first fluctuation start command table prepared in advance, the game control buffer setting unit The data is stored in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer provided in the 005SG155. On the other hand, when the variable special figure designation buffer value is "2", the CPU 103 sends the game state designation command, the second variable display start command, the fluctuation pattern designation command, and the variable display from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In order to sequentially transmit the result designation command and the second pending storage number notification command, the setting data indicating the storage address in the ROM 101 of the second fluctuation start command table prepared in advance is provided in the game control buffer setting unit 005SG155. Stores in the buffer area specified by the send command pointer in the send command buffer. In addition, various commands for which transmission setting is performed are transmitted to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control processing shown in FIG. 12-4 by the CPU 103. FIG.

After executing the process of 005SGS164, the special figure variable display time, which is the variable display time of the special symbol corresponding to the determination result of the variation pattern, is set (005SGS165). The special symbol variable display time, which is the variable display time of the special symbol, is the time from the start of the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol game to the stop display of the fixed special symbol that is the variable display result (special symbol display result). is the required time. Thereafter, after updating the value of the special figure process flag to "2" which is a value corresponding to the special symbol variation process (005SGS166), the variation pattern setting process is terminated.

In addition, the command set for transmission is transmitted to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control processing shown in FIG. 12-12 by the CPU 103 .

(Special symbol stop processing)
FIG. 12-25 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in S113 of FIG. 12-20 as the special symbol stop process. In the special symbol normal process, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the symbol fixing period timer indicating that the variable display is stopped is in operation (005SGS201). When the pattern fixing period timer does not come out during operation (005SGS201; N), the stop pattern of the special pattern is derived and displayed (005SGS202), the transmission setting of the pattern fixing command is performed (005SGS203), and whether the jackpot flag is set. It is determined whether or not (005SGS204).

When the jackpot flag is set (005SGS204; Y), if the time saving flag and probability variation flag are set, these time saving flag and probability variation flag are cleared (005SGS205). Furthermore, according to the jackpot type, the transmission setting of any one of the hit start 1 designation command to the hit 3 start designation command and the transmission setting of the game state designation command indicating the normal state are performed (005SGS207, 005SGS208), and according to the selected variation pattern A value corresponding to "0.5 second" is set as the value of the pattern fixing period timer (005SGS209).

Further, the CPU 103 performs transmission setting of a symbol determination command according to the set symbol determination period timer value (005SGS210), and terminates the special symbol stop processing.

On the other hand, when the jackpot flag is not set (005SGS204; N), it is further determined whether or not the variable probability flag and the time saving flag are set (005SGS220, 005SGS221). If the probability variable flag is set (005SGS220; Y), or if the probability variable flag is not set but the time saving flag is not set (005SGS220; N and 005SGS221; Y), the time saving state (high probability high base (005SGS222).

Then, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the value of the time saving counter has become 0 (005SGS223). When the value of the time saving number counter becomes 0 (005SGS223; Y), clear the flag that is set among the time saving flag and the probability change flag (005SGS224), and respond to "10 seconds" to the symbol fixed period timer Set the value and go to 005SGS227 (005SGS225).

In addition, if both the probability variation flag and the time saving flag are not set (005SGS220; N and 005SGS221; N) and if the value of the time saving number counter is not 0 (005SGS223; N), the pattern confirmation period timer A value corresponding to "0.5 seconds" is set, and the process proceeds to 005SGS227 (005SGS226).

In addition, in the process of 005SGS227, the transmission setting of the game state designation command according to the state of the time saving flag and the variable probability flag is performed, the process of 005SGS210 described above is executed, and the special symbol stop process is finished.

Then, when the pattern fixing period timer is in operation (005SGS201; Y), the CPU 103 decrements the value of the pattern fixing period timer by 1 (005SGS231), and the pattern fixing period timer after decrementing the value by 1 times out. (005SGS232). When the pattern fixing period timer has not timed out (005SGS232; N), the special pattern stop processing is terminated, and when the pattern fixing period timer has timed out (005SGS232; Y), whether or not the stopped pattern is a lost pattern. (005SGS233).

When the stop symbol is a lost symbol (005SGS233; Y), the value of the special symbol process flag is set to a value corresponding to the special symbol normal processing, and the special symbol stop processing is terminated (005SGS324), and the stopped symbol is a lost symbol. If not (005SGS233; N), set the jackpot display time timer corresponding to the jackpot type (005SGS236), perform the transmission setting of the jackpot start designation command corresponding to the jackpot type (005SGS237), the value of the special symbol process flag is set to a value corresponding to the jackpot opening pre-processing (005SGS238), and the special symbol stop processing is terminated.

(Jackpot end processing)
FIG. 12-26 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in S117 of FIG. 12-20 as the jackpot ending process.

In the jackpot end processing, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the jackpot end display timer is in operation, that is, the timer is counting (005SGS321). When the jackpot end display timer is not in operation (005SGS321; N), the display time corresponding to the jackpot end display time (jackpot end display time) on the image display device 5 is "20 seconds". is set (005SGS322), and the process ends.

On the other hand, when the jackpot end display timer is in operation (005SGS321; Y), the value of the jackpot end display timer is subtracted by 1 (005SGS323). Then, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the value of the big-hit end display timer is 0, that is, whether or not the big-hit end display time has elapsed (005SGS324). If it has not passed, the process is terminated.

If the jackpot end display time has passed (005SGS324; Y), the CPU 103 sets a time saving flag indicating that it is controlled in a time saving state, and the maximum variable display number of time saving control is executed on the time saving number counter is set to "100". Furthermore, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the second count switch 24 has been turned on during the jackpot game, that is, whether or not a V win has occurred (005SGS327). It should be noted that whether or not a V prize has occurred is determined, for example, by setting a V prize flag in response to the turning on of the second count switch 24 during a jackpot game, and whether the V prize flag is set. It can be determined by whether or not

When the second count switch 24 is turned on during the jackpot game (005SGS327; Y), the probability variation flag is set (005SGS328), and the value of the special symbol process flag is set to a value corresponding to the special symbol normal processing. Then, the jackpot ending process is terminated (005SGS329). On the other hand, when the second count switch 24 does not turn on during the jackpot game (005SGS327;N), the value of the special symbol process flag is set to a value corresponding to the special symbol normal processing, and the jackpot end processing is performed. End (005SGS329).

(Game stop processing)
FIG. 12-27 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in S20e of FIG. 12-17 as the game stop process.

In the game stop processing, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the game stop notification command transmitted flag indicating that the game stop notification command has been transmitted to the effect control board 12 is set (005SGS331). When the game stop notification command transmitted flag is set (005SGS331; Y), the game stop processing is terminated, and when the game stop notification command transmitted flag is not set (005SGS331; N), the first special symbol The display device 4A, the second special design display device 4B, the normal design display device 20, the first reservation display device 25A, the second reservation display device 25B, and the normal design reservation display device 25C are all turned off (005SGS332).

In addition, the game stop notification command transmission setting is performed (005SGS333), and the game stop notification command transmitted flag is set (005SGS334). Furthermore, the output setting of the security signal based on the game stop (the output of the game stop notification command) is executed (005SGS335), and the game stop processing is finished. The game stop notification command is transmitted to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process shown in FIG. 12-17 by the CPU 103 . In the process of 005SGS335, for example, a security signal is output to the information output circuit 112 so that the security signal is output from the information output circuit 112 for a predetermined period.

As described above, by executing the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 12-17, the game stop monitoring process shown in FIG. 12-19, and the game stop process shown in FIG. 12-27, the game is stopped. It's like In particular, as shown in FIG. 12-28, the game state is the normal state, the time saving state, and the probability variable state, while the game is stopped at the timing when the MY counter value reaches 98194, the MY counter value during the jackpot game reaches 98194, the game is stopped at the timing when the jackpot game ends (all round games end). In addition, in this embodiment, once the game stop flag is set, the pachinko game machine 1 is operated except when the clear switch 92 is operated and the power is turned on (the pachinko game machine 1 is started by cold start). There is no means to clear the stop flag. In other words, once the MY counter value reaches 98194 during the jackpot game and the game stop flag is set, the player launches the game ball toward the left game area 2L to make the game ball enter the big winning opening. Even if the MY counter value is set to a value less than 98194, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the game stop state with the end of the jackpot game.

Furthermore, when the MY counter value reaches 98194 during the jackpot game and the game stop flag is set, and when power failure occurs in the jackpot game state, the game stop flag is set in the power failure detection process. backed up. Therefore, when the power is turned on to the pachinko game machine 1 without operating the clear switch 92, the pachinko game machine 1 is started in the jackpot game state instead of the game stop state. In other words, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is activated in the jackpot game state even though the game stop flag is set, so no particular error notification or the like is executed in this state. After the jackpot game ends, the game is controlled to be in a game stop state based on the fact that the game stop flag is set.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12-29 (B), when the MY counter value reaches 98194, which is the specified value, the game is stopped and the power supply of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned off. 16 outputs a security signal. When the MY counter value reaches the specified value of 98194 and the game is stopped, the power of the pachinko game machine 1 is temporarily turned off, and then the clear switch 92 is operated to turn on the power of the pachinko game machine 1 again. When the initialization process (step 8 in FIG. 12-16) is executed by doing so, a game becomes possible. That is, the condition for canceling the game stop state is to activate (cold start) the pachinko gaming machine 1 along with the initialization process.

In addition, in the state where the game is stopped in the pachinko game machine 1, after turning off the power of the pachinko game machine 1 once, if the pachinko game machine 1 is turned on again without operating the clear switch 92, the power When the is turned off, backup data is created in the power failure detection process, and when the power is turned on again to the pachinko gaming machine 1, the recovery process (step 6 in FIGS. 12-16) is executed, so that the pachinko game The machine 1 is restored while the game is stopped based on the backup data.

(main side error processing)
Here, the main-side error processing shown in FIGS. 12-17 will be described. In the main-side error processing, for example, by referring to the detection status of each switch or sensor, abnormality determination processing is executed to determine whether or not an abnormality has occurred. , to identify the determined abnormality.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12-29A, the CPU 103 identifies the occurrence of a radio wave error based on the fact that the radio wave sensor 005SG070 has detected a predetermined radio wave, and the magnetic sensor 005SG060 detects a magnetic field having a predetermined strength or more. The occurrence of the magnetic error is specified based on the detection of the special variable winning ball device 7 is open except during the big winning game or the small winning game, that is, the big winning entrance door sensor 005SG091 Based on the detection of the opening of the big winning entrance door except during the small winning game, the occurrence of the game ball induction lid operation error is specified, and the second start winning occurs in the low base state (the second start winning in the low base state) Based on the detection of the game ball by the starter switch 22B), the occurrence of the starter 2 abnormal winning error is specified, and an abnormality such as the controller sensor unit 35A not being able to detect the operation of the stick controller 31A is detected. based on the occurrence of the controller connection error, the door opening sensor 005SG090 detects the opening of the game machine frame 3, the occurrence of the door opening error is identified, and the out-of-ball sensor 005SG094 indicates that the replenishment ball is out. Based on the detection of the cut, it is specified that the ball cut error has occurred.

Priorities are set for these errors, and when a plurality of errors occur at the same time, in principle, an error notification command is set to be sent according to the error with the highest priority, and the CPU 103 By executing the command control process shown in FIGS. 12-17, the error notification command set for transmission is transmitted to the effect control board 12. FIG.

When a game stop error occurs, the CPU 103 sets a game stop flag to stop the game by executing the processes of S20c to S20e shown in FIG. 12-17. Also, the transmission setting of the error notification command according to the error that has occurred is performed. In addition, the error notification command set to be transmitted is transmitted to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control processing shown in FIG. 12-17 by the CPU 103 .

In this embodiment, when the above-mentioned game stop error (radio wave error, magnet error, game ball induction cover operation error) occurs, the big win game is terminated even if these game stop errors occur during the big win game. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if a game stop error (radio wave error, magnet error, game ball guide lid operation error) occurs, Regardless of whether a jackpot game is in progress or not, the game may be stopped immediately.

In addition, when the game is stopped due to the occurrence of these game stop errors, the power of the pachinko game machine 1 is temporarily turned off, and then the clear switch 92 is operated and the power of the pachinko game machine 1 is turned on again to initialize the game. The game stop error is canceled by executing the change processing (step S8). In other words, the condition for canceling the radio wave error, the magnet error, and the game ball guidance lid operation error is to activate (cold start) the pachinko game machine 1 with initialization processing.

If an error (game stoppage error) occurs with these priorities within the top three, the management computer provided in the game hall where the pachinko game machine 1 is installed from the terminal board 16, each machine counter, etc. A security signal is output from the terminal board 16 to the management device. The security signal in this case is output until the pachinko gaming machine 1 is powered off after the occurrence of the game stop error.

Of these errors, for errors having the fourth or lower priority, the cancellation conditions and security signal output modes differ for each error that occurs. Specifically, when the starting port 2 abnormal winning error occurs, the starting port 2 abnormal winning error is canceled based on the elapse of 300 seconds from the occurrence, and the security signal is output for 4 minutes from the occurrence. will be When an illegal winning error occurs, the illegal winning error is canceled after 30 seconds have passed since the occurrence, and a security signal is output until the power of the pachinko game machine 1 is turned off. When a controller connection error occurs, the controller connection error is canceled after 60 seconds have passed since the occurrence, and the security signal is output until the power of the pachinko game machine 1 is turned off. When a door open error occurs, the door open error is canceled based on the closing of the door (gaming machine frame 3), and the security signal is not output. When a ball-out error occurs, the ball-out error is canceled on the basis of cancellation of the ball-out error (replenishment balls are supplied), and no security signal is output.

In this embodiment, the radio wave error, the magnet error, and the game ball induction cover activation error can be detected by turning off the power of the pachinko machine 1 and then turning on the power to the pachinko machine 1 while operating the clear switch. Although an example of a form in which the cancellation is made is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the radio wave error, magnet error, and game ball induction cover operation error are cleared by turning off the power of the pachinko game machine 1 and pressing the clear switch. It may be canceled by turning on the power to the pachinko game machine 1 (starting the pachinko game machine 1 by hot start) without any operation.

In this way, after turning off the power of the pachinko game machine 1, by turning on the power to the pachinko game machine 1 without operating the clear switch, the radio wave error, the magnet error, and the game ball induction lid operation error are canceled. In this case, a security signal is output based on the radio wave error, magnet error, and game ball guidance cover operation error for a predetermined period (for example, 4 minutes) after the power is turned on to the pachinko game machine 1. You may do so.

(Prize ball processing)
Next, the prize ball processing (S21a) in the main processing will be described. First, the payout control signal (connection confirmation signal) and prize ball request signal (payout control command) transmitted and received between the main board 11 and the payout control board 21TM037 will be described.

FIG. 12-30(A) is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the content of the control signal output from the game control microcomputer 100 to the payout control board 21TM037. In this embodiment, a connection confirmation signal is transmitted and received as a control signal between the main board 11 and the payout control board 21TM037 in order to perform various controls related to payout control and the like. As shown in FIG. 12-30 (A), the connection confirmation signal is output when the main board 11 starts up (when the game control microcomputer 100 starts the game control main process), and is sent to the payout control board 21TM037. This is a signal (connection confirmation signal of the main board 11) for notifying that the main board 11 has started up. Also, the connection confirmation signal indicates that prize ball payout is possible. The connection confirmation signal is output via the I/O port 21TM057 and the output circuit 21TM067 of the game control microcomputer 100, and via the input circuit 21TM373A and the I/O port 21TM372e of the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 payout control. input to the microcomputer 21TM370. Each connection confirmation signal is 1-bit data and is transmitted through one signal line. The connection confirmation signal becomes ready for output by setting the initial value to the bit corresponding to the connection confirmation signal of output port 0 by the processing of S6 and S8 executed when the power is turned on (specifically, Although it is output by the processing of S21TM2080 shown in FIG. 12-34, it may be output at the timing of S6 and S8 shown in FIG. 12-16).

The payout control microcomputer 21TM370, like the game control microcomputer 100, incorporates a serial communication circuit 21TM380. Various payout control commands are transmitted and received between the serial communication circuit 21TM505 built in the game control microcomputer 100 and the serial communication circuit 21TM380 built in the payout control microcomputer 21TM370. The configuration and function of the serial communication circuit 21TM380 incorporated in the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 are the same as the configuration and function of the serial communication circuit 21TM505 incorporated in the game control microcomputer 100.

FIG. 12-30(B) is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents of control commands transmitted and received between the game control microcomputer 100 and the payout control board 21TM037. In this embodiment, various control commands (ball request signals) are transmitted and received between the microcomputers of the main board 11 and the payout control board 21TM037 in order to perform various controls related to payout control and the like.

As described above, the winning ball request signal and the received ACK signal are composed of 8-bit data (8-digit binary data), and output as a control command indicating a predetermined content according to the content of the set 8-bit data. be done.

The connection confirmation command is sent from the game control microcomputer 100 at regular intervals (1 s) to confirm whether the connection state between the game control microcomputer 100 and the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 is normal. Control command to be sent. The data content of the connection confirmation command is "A0(H)", that is, "1010000".

The connection OK command is a control command for notifying that the connection state between the game control microcomputer 100 and the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 is normal. is a control command that is transmitted as a response signal in response to the reception of The data content of the connection OK command is "8x(H)", that is, "10000xxx". Here, if a prize ball error (abnormal state in which the prize ball payout operation based on the winning or the ball lending and payout operation based on the ball lending request cannot be performed normally) occurs, the 1st bit "x" is set to "1". Also, when a full tank error occurs, "1" is set to "x" of the second bit. Further, when a ball-out error occurs, "1" is set to "x" of the third bit. Also, when a door open error occurs, "1" is set to "x" of the 4th bit. In this way, during the confirmation of the connection between the game control microcomputer 100 and the payout control microcomputer 21TM370, the occurrence of a predetermined error in the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 is detected by the game control microcomputer. 100 can be notified.

The prize ball number command is a control command for notifying the number (0 to 14) of game balls to be paid out, and is a control command transmitted by the game control microcomputer 100 based on the occurrence of winning. . The content of the data of the number-of-balls command is "5x(H)", that is, "0101xxxx". In this embodiment, when a game ball is detected by the first starting port switch 22A and the second starting port switch 22B, three prize balls are paid out, and the general winning switch 25 corresponding to the general winning port 10 is detected, 10 prize balls are put out, and when game balls are detected by the first count switch 23, 14 prize balls are put out. Therefore, when a game ball is detected by the first starting port switch 22A and the second starting port switch 22B, a prize ball number command "01010011" for notifying the number of prize balls of 3 is transmitted to the general prize winning port 10. When game balls are detected by the corresponding winning hole switch, a prize ball number command "01011010" for notifying the number of prize balls of 10 is transmitted, and when game balls are detected by the first count switch 23, a prize is awarded. A prize ball number command "01011110" for notifying the number of balls of 14 is transmitted. Either the connection confirmation command or the number-of-balls command is transmitted as the prize-ball request signal. The prize ball number command is transmitted instead of the connection confirmation command at the timing when the connection confirmation command is transmitted based on the fulfillment of the prize ball payout condition (occurrence of winning, etc.). In this embodiment, as described above, data corresponding to the number of prize balls is set in the upper 4 bits, but data corresponding to the number of prize balls is set in the lower 4 bits while the upper 4 bits are common. You may do so.

The prize ball end command is a control command indicating that the prize ball operation (prize ball payout operation) has ended, and is a control command transmitted by the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 based on the end of the prize ball operation. The content of the data of the prize ball end command is "50 (H)", that is, "01010000". The prize ball end command is transmitted instead of the connection OK command at the timing when the connection OK command is transmitted based on the completion of the prize ball operation. In this embodiment, data indicating error information is not set in the prize ball end command. This is because the prize ball end command is transmitted only once when the prize ball operation is completed, so even if the error information is not sent at that timing, data indicating the error information is set in the next connection OK command and sent. because it is possible to Data indicating error information may be set in the lower 4 bits of the prize ball end command.

The prize ball preparation command is a control command for notifying that a predetermined error has occurred and the prize ball operation has not ended. It is a control command to be sent based on the action. The data content of the connection OK command is "8x(H)", that is, "10000xxx". Here, when a prize ball error occurs, "1" is set to "x" of the first bit. Also, when a full tank error occurs, "1" is set to "x" of the second bit. Further, when a ball-out error occurs, "1" is set to "x" of the third bit. Also, when a door open error occurs, "1" is set to "x" of the 4th bit. In this way, the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 notifies the game control microcomputer 100 that a predetermined error has occurred during execution of the prize ball motion and the prize ball motion has not ended. In addition, it is possible to notify the game control microcomputer 100 of the content of the error. Like the connection OK command, the prize ball preparation command notifies that a predetermined error has occurred by changing the contents of the lower 4 bits (predetermined bits are changed) according to the error state. Also, the connection OK command, prize ball preparation command, and prize ball end command are configured such that any one of the commands is transmitted as the reception ACK signal. In addition, the prize ball preparation command is a command (signal) that is output not only in a state in which an error occurs and the prize ball operation cannot be executed, but also in a state in which the prize ball operation is being executed.

In addition, the prize ball preparation command is sent instead of the connection OK command at the timing when the connection OK command is sent based on the state where the prize ball operation cannot be performed due to an error. be.

FIG. 12-31 is a block diagram showing signal lines and the like used for transmitting and receiving the control signals shown in FIG. 12-30(A) and the control commands shown in FIG. 12-30(B). As shown in FIG. 12-31, the connection confirmation signal is output by the game control microcomputer 100 via the output circuit 21TM067 and input to the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 via the input circuit 21TM373A. In addition, the connection confirmation command and the prize balls number command among the control commands are output from the serial communication circuit 21TM505 built in the game control microcomputer 100 and input to the serial communication circuit 21TM380 built in the payout control microcomputer 21TM370. be. Of the control commands, the connection OK command, prize ball end command, and prize ball preparation command are output from the serial communication circuit 21TM380 built in the payout control microcomputer 21TM370, and the serial communication circuit built in the game control microcomputer 100. 21TM505. Note that FIG. 12-31 shows two signal lines (a signal line for transmitting a prize ball request signal and a signal line for transmitting a received ACK signal) as signal lines for serial communication. However, actually, the ball request signal and the received ACK signal are transmitted and received through one signal line.

Next, transmission and reception of signals (prize ball request signal, reception ACK signal; control command) between the game control microcomputer and the payout control microcomputer during normal operation will be described. The prize ball request signal consists of a connection confirmation command and a prize ball number command, and the reception ACK signal consists of a connection OK command, a prize ball end command, and a prize ball preparation command.

FIG. 12-32 is a sequence diagram showing transmission and reception of signals between the game control microcomputer 100 and the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 during normal operation. As shown in FIG. 12-32, the game control microcomputer 100 is connected to the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 via the serial communication circuit 21TM505 in order to confirm whether or not the signal line is disconnected. , a connection confirmation command as a prize ball request signal is transmitted to the payout control microcomputer 21TM370. When the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 receives the connection confirmation command as the prize ball request signal via the serial communication circuit 21TM380, it transmits the connection OK command as the reception ACK signal to the game control microcomputer 100. When receiving the connection OK command as the reception ACK signal, the game control microcomputer 100 transmits the connection confirmation command as the prize ball request signal after 1 s (1 second) has elapsed from the time of reception. The game control microcomputer 100 and the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 repeatedly execute the connection confirmation communication process as described above as long as the connection state is normal.

(Payment control main processing)
Next, the operation of the payout control board 21TM037 will be described. FIG. 12-23 is a flow chart showing the main process (payout control main process) executed by the payout control board 21TM037. In the main process, the payout control CPU 21TM371 of the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 first performs necessary initialization. That is, the payout control CPU 21TM371 first sets the interrupt prohibition (S21TM1810). Next, the interrupt mode is set to interrupt mode 2 (S21TM1820), and the stack pointer designation address is set to the stack pointer (S21TM1830). Also, the payout control CPU 21TM371 sets the built-in device register (S21TM1840), sets the CTC and PIO (S21TM1850), and then sets the RAM to an accessible state (S21TM1860). Also, 0000 (H) is set as the initial value of the counter for the number of undistributed prize balls (S21TM1870).

In this embodiment, one channel of the built-in CTC is used in timer mode. Therefore, in the internal device register setting processing of the S21TM1840 and the processing of the S21TM1850, register setting for setting the channel to be used to timer mode, register setting for enabling interrupt generation, and register setting for interrupt vector Settings are made. Then, an interrupt by that channel is used as a timer interrupt. When it is desired to generate a timer interrupt every 2 ms, for example, a value corresponding to 2 ms is set in a predetermined register (time constant register) as an initial value.

The interrupt vector set in the channel set to the timer mode (channel 3 in this embodiment) corresponds to the start address of timer interrupt processing. Specifically, the start address of timer interrupt processing is specified by the value set in the I register and the interrupt vector. In the timer interrupt process, a payout control process for controlling the payout means (including at least a process of driving the payout motor 21TM289 in response to a command signal relating to payout of prize balls from the main board, and driving the payout motor 21TM289 in response to a ball lending request) may include a process to perform.) is executed.

In this embodiment, the interrupt mode 2 is also set in the payout control microcomputer 21TM370. Therefore, interrupt processing based on the built-in CTC count-up can be used. Also, an interrupt processing start address can be set according to the interrupt vector sent by the CTC. The CTC channel 3 (CH3) count-up interrupt is an interrupt that occurs when the internal clock (system clock) of the CPU counts down and the register value becomes "0", and is used as a timer interrupt. .

Next, the payout control CPU 21TM371 first performs RAM clear processing (S21TM1880). Also, initial values are set to flags and counters in the RAM area (S21TM1890). The processing of S21TM1890 includes the processing of setting the initial value of the undistributed prize ball counter to the undischarged prize ball counter.

In addition, the payout control CPU 21TM371 executes a serial communication circuit setting process for initializing the serial communication circuit 21TM380 (S21TM1900). In this case, the payout control CPU 21TM371 causes the serial communication circuit 21TM380 to perform serial communication with the game control microcomputer 100 according to the same process as the serial communication circuit setting process (see S21TM2560) performed by the CPU 103 of the game control microcomputer 100. settings.

When the serial communication circuit 21TM380 is initialized, the payout control CPU 21TM371 initializes the priority of interrupt processing to be executed in response to the interrupt request of the serial communication circuit 21TM380 (S21TM1910). In this case, the payout control CPU 21TM371 initializes the priority of the interrupt processing according to the same processing as the priority initialization processing performed by the CPU 103 of the game control microcomputer 100 .

Then, the CTC register provided in the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 is set so that the timer interrupts periodically (S21TM1920). That is, a value corresponding to the timer interrupt generation interval is set in a predetermined register (time constant register) as an initial value. Since interrupts are prohibited in S21TM1810 of the initialization process, interrupts are permitted before the initialization process is finished (S21TM1930). After that, a loop process for monitoring the occurrence of a timer interrupt is entered.

As described above, in this embodiment, the built-in CTC of the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 is set to repeatedly generate timer interrupts. When a timer interrupt occurs, the payout control CPU 21TM371 of the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 executes timer interrupt processing.

(Payout control timer interrupt processing)
FIG. 12-34 is a flowchart showing an example of timer interrupt processing (payout control timer interrupt processing) executed by the payout control board 21TM037. In the timer interrupt processing, the payout control CPU 21TM371 of the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 executes the following processing as payout control processing. First, the payout control CPU 21TM371 performs input determination processing (S21TM2010). The input determination process detects the states of bits 4 to 6 of input port 0 and bits 3 to 6 of input port 1, and reflects the detection results in a predetermined byte of RAM (called an input state flag). be. In the payout control process, when performing control based on the states of bits 4 to 6 of input port 0 and bits 3 to 6 of input port 1, the state of the input port is not directly checked, but the input state Check flag status.

Next, the payout control CPU 21TM371 executes payout motor control processing (S21TM2020). In the payout motor control process, when the payout motor 21TM289 should be driven, the process for outputting the payout motor φ1 to φ4 patterns to the output port 0 is performed.

In addition, the payout control CPU 21TM371 executes prepaid card unit control processing for communicating with the card unit 21TM050 (S21TM2030). The prepaid card unit control process in this embodiment includes the process of writing the data of the number of prize balls paid out to the player to the prepaid card based on the operation of the return switch 21TM063, and the process of writing the data of the prize balls. It includes a process of ejecting the prepaid card from the card unit 21TM050 and returning it to the player. Also, the payout control CPU 21TM371 executes a main control communication process described later (S21TM2035). Further, a prize ball lending control process for performing control to pay out the balls in response to a ball lending request from the card unit 21TM050, and to perform control to pay out the number of prize balls indicated by the number of prize balls command from the main board. (S21TM2040).

Then, the payout control CPU 21TM371 executes error processing for detecting various errors (S21TM2050). Also, information output processing for outputting prize ball information and ball lending information to be output to the outside of the gaming machine is executed (S21TM2060). In addition, according to the result of the error processing, a predetermined display is performed on the error display LED 21TM374, and display control processing for lighting the prize ball LED 21TM053 and the dead ball LED 21TM054 is executed (S21TM2070).

In this embodiment, when various errors (for example, full tank error, bulb out error, prepaid card unit unconnected error) are detected in error processing to be described later, an error bit corresponding to the detected error is set. Then, in the display control process of S21TM2070, based on the error bit being set, the payout control CPU 21TM371 performs a predetermined display on the error display LED 21TM374. Further, the payout control CPU 21TM371 performs control for lighting the prize ball LED 21TM053 when the prize ball is being paid out in the display control process. Also, when the prize ball payout is completed, control is performed to turn off the prize ball LED 21TM053.

In this embodiment, RAM areas (output port 0 buffer, output port 1 buffer, output port 2 buffer) corresponding to the output state of the output port are provided. The contents of the 0 buffer, the output port 1 buffer and the output port 2 buffer are output to the output port (S21TM2080: output processing). Output port 0 buffer, output port 1 buffer, and output port 2 buffer perform payout motor control processing (S21TM2020), prepaid card control processing (S21TM2030), main control communication processing (S21TM2035), information output processing (S21TM2060), and display control processing. It is updated in (S21TM2070).

Next, in the main control communication process of S21TM2035, the operation of sending and receiving various commands by the payout control CPU 21TM371 of the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 will be described. As shown in FIG. 12-31, the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 incorporates a serial communication circuit 21TM380 for serially communicating various commands with the game control microcomputer 100. FIG. The payout control microcomputer 21TM370 uses the serial communication circuit 21TM380 to receive the prize ball number command shown in FIG. 12-30(B) from the game control microcomputer 100. FIG. Further, when receiving the prize ball number command, the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 uses the serial communication circuit 21TM380 to transmit the prize ball ACK command "D2" as a reception confirmation signal.

In addition, the payout control CPU 21TM371, like the CPU 103 of the game control microcomputer 100, receives an interrupt request from the serial communication circuit 21TM380 while it is in the interrupt enabled state, and the serial communication circuit 21TM380 makes an interrupt request. Execute interrupt processing according to the cause. In this embodiment, when the payout control CPU 21TM371 specifies that the cause of the interrupt is that the serial communication circuit 21TM380 has received the received data, it executes the receiving interrupt process. In this case, the payout control CPU 21TM371 sets a reception interrupt flag indicating that the serial communication circuit 21TM380 is receiving the reception data. The payout control CPU 21TM371 may read data from the reception data register of the serial communication circuit 21TM380 instead of setting the reception interruption flag in the reception interruption process. In this case, for example, the payout control CPU 21TM371 determines whether or not the read reception data is the winning ball number command in the reception interrupt process. Further, when the received data is a prize ball number command, the payout control CPU 21TM371 may add the number of prize balls indicated by the prize ball number command to the prize ball unpaid number counter. By doing so, in the main control communication process to be described later, it is determined whether or not the received data is the prize ball number command based on the fact that the reception interrupt flag is set, and the number of prize balls is determined. It becomes unnecessary to execute the process of adding to the unpaid number counter.

(Communication between the main board, payout control board, and card unit)
FIG. 12-35 is a timing chart for explaining communication between the main board 11 of the game machine, the payout control board 21TM037, and the card unit 21TM050. When power supply to the game machine is started and the connection confirmation signal from the main board 11 is ON, the payout control board 21TM037 turns the PRDY signal ON when the payout operation is possible. The connection confirmation signal is turned ON in the serial communication circuit setting process, which is the process of S10a shown in FIG. 12-16 (see FIG. 12-30(A)). When the power supply is started, the card unit 21TM050 turns on the VL signal as the connection signal.

When the card is accepted by the card unit 21TM050 and the ball rental switch 21TM062 is operated to input the ball rental switch signal, the card unit 21TM050 sends a BRDY signal to the payout control board 21TM037 based on the ON state of the PRDY signal. to output That is, the BRDY signal is turned on. When a predetermined delay time elapses from this time point, the card unit 21TM050 outputs a BRQ signal to the payout control board 21TM037 based on the ON state of the BRDY signal. That is, the BRQ signal is turned on.

Then, the payout control board 21TM037 turns ON the EXS signal to the card unit 21TM050 based on the fact that the PRDY signal is ON and the BRDY signal and the BRQ signal are both ON, and the card unit 21TM050 When the fall (OFF) of the BRQ signal is detected, the payout motor 21TM289 is driven to pay out a predetermined number (for example, 125) of rental balls to the player. Then, the payout control board 21TM037 causes the EXS signal for the card unit 21TM050 to fall. That is, the EXS signal is turned off.

(Prize ball payout control)

FIG. 12-36 is a timing chart showing transmission and reception of signals between the game control microcomputer 100 and the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 during normal operation. As shown in FIG. 12-36, when the game control microcomputer 100 transmits the connection confirmation command as the prize ball request signal to the payout control microcomputer 21TM370, the reception ACK signal transmitted from the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 Receives a connection OK command as When receiving the connection OK command as the reception ACK signal, the game control microcomputer 100 retransmits the connection confirmation command as the prize ball request signal after 1 s (1 second) has elapsed from the time of reception. The game control microcomputer 100 and the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 repeatedly execute the connection confirmation communication process as described above as long as the connection state is normal.

When the connection confirmation communication process is not executed (between the reception of the connection OK command as the reception ACK signal and the transmission of the connection confirmation command as the prize ball request signal), if there is a prize, the game The control microcomputer 100 sets data indicating the number of prize balls in a prize ball request signal, and transmits a prize ball number command as the set prize ball request signal to the payout control microcomputer 21TM370. When the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 receives the prize ball number command as the prize ball request signal, it pays out the number of prize balls specified by the prize ball number command, and pays out the prize balls (prize ball payout operation). When finished, a prize ball end command as a received ACK signal is transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100 . When the game control microcomputer 100 receives the prize ball end command as the reception ACK signal, it transmits the connection confirmation command as the prize ball request signal after 1 s (1 second) has elapsed from the time of reception.

Although not shown, during execution of communication processing for connection confirmation (between the transmission of the connection confirmation command as the prize ball request signal and the reception of the connection OK command as the reception ACK signal), there is a prize. In this case, the game control microcomputer 100 sets the data indicating the number of prize balls in the prize ball request signal, and transmits the prize ball number command as the set prize ball request signal from the payout control microcomputer 21TM370. After receiving the connection OK command as the reception ACK signal, it transmits to the payout control microcomputer 21TM370. When the payout control microcomputer 21TM370 receives the prize ball number command as the prize ball request signal, it pays out the number of prize balls specified by the prize ball number command, and pays out the prize balls (prize ball payout operation). When finished, a prize ball end command as a received ACK signal is transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100 . During execution of the payout of prize balls (prize ball payout operation), a prize ball preparation command is transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100 as a received ACK signal.

(Major operations of production control board 12)
Next, main operations in the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated and executes the effect control main processing as shown in the flow chart of FIG. 12-37. When the production control main process shown in FIG. 12-37 is started, the production control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71), clears the RAM 122, sets various initial values, and produces the production control board. 12 register setting of CTC (counter/timer circuit). Also, an initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial motion control process, control for initial motion of the movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return it to the initial position and control for confirming a predetermined motion, is executed.

After that, it is determined whether or not the timer interrupt flag is turned on (step S73). The timer interrupt flag is set to ON every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses based on, for example, a CTC register setting. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; No), the process of step S73 is repeatedly executed and waits.

Also, on the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to the timer interrupt that occurs each time a predetermined time elapses. This interrupt is an interrupt generated when, for example, the effect control INT signal from the main substrate 11 is turned on. When an interrupt occurs due to the effect control INT signal being turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets interrupt prohibition, but when using a CPU that does not automatically enter an interrupt prohibition state, interrupt It is desirable to issue a prohibition instruction (DI instruction). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to the interruption caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, the effect control command is taken in from a predetermined input port for receiving the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15 among the input ports included in the I/O 125 . The effect control command taken in at this time is stored in the effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122, for example. After that, the effect control CPU 120 ends the command reception interrupt process after setting the interrupt permission.

If the timer interrupt flag is ON at step S73 (step S73; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared to be turned off (step S74), and command analysis processing is executed (step S75). In the command analysis process, for example, after reading various effect control commands that are transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, the read effect control command Corresponding settings and controls are performed. For example, the read production control command is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122, or the read production control command is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 so that the content specified by the production control command can be confirmed by the production control process processing or the like. It turns on the provided reception flag. Further, when the effect control command specifies the game state, the display control unit 123 may be instructed to display a background according to the game state.

After executing the command analysis process in step S75, the effect control process process is executed (step S76). In the effect control process processing, for example, the display operation of the effect image in the display area of the image display device 5, the sound output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation of the decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED, and the movable body 32 Control to operate various production devices such as driving operation of is performed. Further, determination, determination, setting, and the like are performed according to the effect control command and the like transmitted from the main board 11 regarding the control contents of the effect operation using various effect devices.

Random number update processing for production|presentation is performed following the production|presentation control process processing of step S76 (step S77), and at least one part of the random number for production|presentation used by the production|presentation control board 12 side is updated by software. After executing step S77, an error notification process is executed (step S78). In the error notification process, for example, control is performed to notify an error that has occurred in the pachinko game machine 1 by displaying an image on the image display device 5, outputting sound from the speakers 8L and 8R, lighting the game effect lamp 9, and the like. will be After executing step S78, a demonstration effect process is executed (step S79). In the demonstration effect processing, for example, the effect control CPU 120 operates a timer waiting for the start of the customer waiting demonstration based on the reception of the customer waiting demonstration designation command from the CPU 103 . If a new variable display is not started during the operation period of the timer waiting for the start of the customer waiting demonstration, the customer waiting demonstration effect is executed based on the timeout of the timer waiting for the customer waiting demonstration start. Incidentally, when a new variable display is started during execution of the demonstration effect, the demonstration effect being executed is interrupted. After that, the process returns to step S73. Other processing may be performed before returning to the processing of step S73.

(Production control process processing)

FIG. 12-38 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 12-37 as the effect control process. In the effect control process shown in FIG. 12-38, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not a game stop notification command is received (step S160a). When there is reception of the game stop notification command (step S160a; Y), the value of the effect control process flag is updated to "6" which is a value corresponding to the game stop effect process, and the process proceeds to step S160c (step S160b), If no game stop notification command is received (step 160a; N), the process proceeds to step S160c.

At step 160c, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the value of the effect control process flag is "6", which is a value corresponding to the game stop effect process. If the value of the effect control process flag is "6" (step 160c; Y), the process proceeds to step S164, and if the value of the effect control process flag is not "6" (step 160c; N), the pre-reading notice effect A setting process is executed (step S161). In the pre-reading notice effect setting process, for example, determination, determination, setting, etc. for executing the pre-reading notice effect are performed based on the effect control command at the time of starting winning transmitted from the main board 11. Also, a process for displaying a pending display is executed based on the number of pending memories specified from the effect control command.

After execution of the pre-reading notice performance setting process, the number of prize balls put out in each jackpot game state during the period from when the normal state is controlled to the jackpot game state until when it is controlled again to the normal state is totaled. (Step S162), game stop suggestion effect processing (step S163) and proceed to step S164.

In the prize ball summing process, the value of the prize ball counter is set to 0 at the timing when the normal state is changed to the big win game state, and a prize ball number notification command is issued according to the winning to the big win opening during the big win game. The process of adding the value of the winning ball counter may be executed each time it is received.

In addition, in step S164, the effect control CPU 120 displays on the image display device 5 a right hitting promotion display that prompts the player to hit the game ball toward the right game area 2R in the jackpot game state, the time saving state, and the variable probability state. Execute right-handed promotion display processing for

In addition, in step 165, the effect control CPU 120 prompts the player to hit the game ball toward the left game area 2L when the game state is controlled from the time saving state or the variable probability state to the normal state. Left-handed promotion display processing for displaying the display on the image display device 5 is executed.

After executing the process of step S165, the effect control CPU 120 selects and executes one of the following processes of steps S170 to S177 according to the value of the effect process flag provided in the RAM 122, for example.

The variable display start waiting process in step S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "0" (initial value). This variable display start waiting process is a process of determining whether or not to start variable display of decorative patterns on the image display device 5 based on whether or not a command designating the start of variable display has been received from the main substrate 11. and so on. When it is determined to start the variable display of the decoration pattern on the image display device 5, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "1", and the variable display start waiting process is terminated.

The variable display start setting process in step S171 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "1". In this variable display start setting process, based on the display result and the variation pattern specified by the effect control command, the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern (determined decorative pattern), the form of the variable display of the decorative pattern, the ready-to-win effect, and various other Whether or not to execute various effects such as advance notice effects, its mode, execution start timing, etc. are determined. Then, an effect control pattern (collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the effect) reflecting the determination result or the like is set. After that, based on the set effect control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start execution of variable display of decorative symbols, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2", and the variable display start setting process is terminated. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start variable display of the decorative design in response to an instruction to start execution of variable display of the decorative design.

The effect process during variable display in step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "2". In this variable display effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 instructs the display control unit 123 to display the effect image based on the effect control pattern set in step S171 on the display screen of the image display device 5. , driving the movable body 32, outputting voices and sound effects from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting commands (sound effect signals) to the voice control board 13, and outputting commands (illumination signals) to the lamp control board 14. Various effects are controlled during the variable display of decorative patterns, such as turning on/off/blinking the game effect lamp 9 and decorative LEDs by output. After performing such effect control, for example, an end code indicating the end of the variable display of the decorative pattern is read from the effect control pattern, or a command designating to stop display of the fixed decorative pattern is received from the main board 11. Corresponding to the fact that the player has done so, the fixed decoration pattern which becomes the display result of the decoration pattern is stopped and displayed. When the fixed decoration pattern is stopped and displayed, the value of the production process flag is updated to "3", and the production process during variable display ends.

The special figure per waiting process of step S173 is a process executed when the value of the production process flag is "3". In this special figure waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not an effect control command designating the start of the big hit game state is received from the main substrate 11 . Then, when receiving a performance control command designating the start of the jackpot game state, the value of the performance process flag is updated to "4". Further, when the waiting time for receiving the command elapses without receiving the command designating the start of the jackpot game state, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game is "lost", and the production process flag is set. is updated to the initial value "0". When the value of the production process flag is updated, the special figure per waiting process is terminated.

The effect process during the big hit in step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "4". In this big-hit production process, the production control CPU 120 sets, for example, production control patterns corresponding to the production contents in the big-hit game state, and executes various production controls in the big-hit game state based on the set contents. Further, in the big-hit production process, for example, in response to receiving a command designating to end the big-hit game state from the main board 11, the value of the production process flag is changed to "5", which is the value corresponding to the ending production process. ”, and ends the effect processing during the big hit. In addition, during the big hit effect processing of the present embodiment, the V winning notification effect is executed based on the reception of the V winning notification command for notifying that the game ball has been detected by the second count switch 24 during the big winning game. It is also a process to do.

The ending effect process of step S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "5". In this ending effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the end of the big win game state, etc., and controls various effects of the ending effect at the end of the big win game state based on the setting contents. Execute. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value of "0", and the ending effect process is terminated.

The game stop effect process of step S177 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "7". In this game stop effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 executes a game stop effect indicating that the game in the pachinko game machine 1 has been stopped based on the reception of the game stop notification command. In addition, once the game is stopped, the pachinko gaming machine 1 in this embodiment must be turned off and then turned on while operating the clear switch 92 (started by cold start). Since the game cannot be played again, after the game is stopped, the game stop effect is continuously executed unless the power is turned off.

(Pre-reading notice effect setting processing)
FIG. 12-39 is a flow chart showing an example of processing executed in step S161 of FIG. 12-38 as the pre-reading advance notice effect setting processing. In the pre-reading notice effect setting process shown in FIG. 12-39, the effect control CPU 120 first checks the reception command buffer 005SG194A at the time of start winning (step 005SGS241), and whether or not there is an entry in which the pending display flag is not set. (Step 005SGS242).

If there is no entry whose pending display flag is not set (step 005SGS242; N), proceed to step 005SGS252, and if there is an entry whose pending display flag is not set (step 005SGS242; Y), further It is determined whether or not the symbol designation command is the first symbol designation command, that is, whether or not the symbol designation command is a command indicating a failure (step 005 SGS243). If the symbol designation command of the entry is not the first symbol designation command, that is, if it is a command indicating a big hit (step 005SGS243; N), the numerical range of the MY counter value is specified (step 005SGS244). The numerical range of the MY counter value can be specified, for example, from the received MY counter value notification command (see FIG. 12-5(D)).

In addition, the effect control CPU 120 specifies the number of pending memories in which the variable display result is a big hit from the start winning time received command buffer 005SG194A (step 005SGS245), and the pending memory stored as the entry is a big hit pending memory. Then, the display pattern of the pending display is determined based on the number of pending memories to be a big hit and the numerical range of the MY counter value (005SGS246).

At step 005 SGS246, for example, whether or not to execute the preview effect and the display pattern (preview type) are determined at the determination ratios shown in FIGS. 12-40(A) and 12-40(B).

Specifically, there are three types of display patterns (forecast type) of the pre-reading preview effect, ie, the display pattern α, the display pattern β, and the display pattern γ. Among these, when the display pattern of the pre-reading notice effect is determined to be the display pattern α, the reserved memory display is displayed in the first reserved memory display area 5D or the second reserved memory display area 5U as a white square (◇). When the display pattern (notice type) of the pre-reading notice effect is determined to be the display pattern β, the reserved memory display is a white star (☆) in the first reserved memory display area 5D or the second reserved memory display. is displayed in the area 5U, and when the display pattern (notice type) of the pre-reading notice effect is determined to be the display pattern γ, the reserved memory display is the letter "V" in the first reserved memory display area 5D or the second reserved memory display area 5D. It is displayed in the reserved memory display area 5U. Incidentally, when the pre-reading announcement effect is not executed, the pending display is displayed in the first pending memory display area 5D or the second pending memory display area 5U as a white circle (◯).

In step 005 SGS246, as shown in FIG. 12-40 (A), when the MY counter value is 0 to 95000, when the MY counter value is 95001 or more and the number of reserved storages that becomes a big hit is 1 , based on the fact that the reserved memory is a reserved memory that will result in a big hit, it determines non-execution of the look-ahead advance notice effect (displaying the reserved display in a white round shape) at a rate of 5%, and at a rate of 25%. It is determined that the pre-reading notice effect is executed with the display pattern α (the pending display is displayed with a white square), and the pre-reading notice effect is executed with the display pattern β at a rate of 65% (the pending display is displayed with a white star ), and to execute the look-ahead forewarning effect in the display pattern γ at a rate of 5% (to display the pending display in the letter "V").

In step 005 SGS246, when the MY counter value is 95001 or more and the number of pending memories for a big hit is 2 or more, as shown in FIG. Based on a certain fact, it is decided not to execute the pre-reading forewarning effect (displaying the pending display in a white round shape) at a rate of 5%, and executing the pre-reading forewarning effect with the display pattern α at a rate of 30%. Determine (display the pending display with a white square), execute the pre-reading preview effect with the display pattern β at a rate of 65% (display the pending display with a white star), 0 %, it is decided to execute the look-ahead forewarning effect in the display pattern γ (to display the pending display in the letter "V").

Also, in step 005SGS243, if the design designation command of the entry is the first design designation command, that is, if it is a command indicating a loss (step 005SGS243; Y), the variation category designation command of the entry is specified ( Step 005SGS248), Based on the specified variation category, the presence or absence of execution of the pre-reading advance notice effect and the display pattern are determined (Step 005SGS249).

At step 005 SGS249, the presence or absence of execution of the pre-reading advance notice effect and the display pattern (forecast type) are decided at the decision ratio as shown in FIG. 12-40(C). For example, as shown in FIG. 12-40 (C), if the variable category is "non-reach", based on the fact that the reserved memory is a lost reserved memory, the pre-reading notice effect is performed at a rate of 95%. Decide not to execute (display the pending display with a white circle), and decide to execute the pre-reading notice effect with the display pattern α at a rate of 5% (display the pending display with a white square). , decide to execute the pre-reading forewarning effect with the display pattern β at a rate of 0% (display the pending display with a white star), and execute the foreseeing forewarning effect with the display pattern γ at a rate of 0%. (to display the pending display with the letter "V").

Also, if the variation category is "Others (Normal Reach)", based on the fact that the reserved memory is a lost reserved memory, 75% of the pre-reading notice effect is not executed (the reserved display is indicated by a white circle ), decide to execute the pre-reading notice effect with the display pattern α at a rate of 20% (display the pending display with a white square), and decide to perform the pre-reading notice effect at a rate of 5% It is decided to execute with the display pattern β (display the pending display with a white star), and at a rate of 0%, the pre-reading notice effect is executed with the display pattern γ (displaying the pending display with the letter "V" to do).

Then, if the variation category is "super reach", based on the fact that the pending memory is a lost pending memory, the pre-reading notice effect is not executed at a rate of 65% (the pending display is displayed in a white circle ), decide to execute the pre-reading notice effect with the display pattern α at a rate of 25% (display the pending display with a white square), and decide to perform the pre-reading notice effect at a rate of 10%. Decide to execute with β (display the pending display with a white star), and execute the pre-reading preview effect with the display pattern γ at a rate of 0% (display the pending display with a “V” character ).

That is, as shown in FIGS. 12-40 (A) to 12-40 (C), in this embodiment, when the pre-reading preview effect is not executed (when the pending display is displayed in a white circle) , the ratio of control to the jackpot game state is set lower than when the look-ahead notice effect is executed (when the pending display is displayed with a white square, star, or "V" character).

Furthermore, in the case where the pre-reading notice effect is executed, the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot game state is set to be the lowest when the pre-reading notice effect is executed in the display pattern α, and the pre-reading notice effect is executed in the display pattern. When it is executed in γ, the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot game state is set to be the highest (the ratio of being controlled to the jackpot game state according to the presence or absence of the execution of the prediction notice effect and the display pattern (jackpot expectation) : Non-execution of pre-reading notice effect <execution of pre-reading notice effect with display pattern α<execution of pre-reading notice effect with display pattern β<execution of pre-reading notice effect with display pattern γ).

In particular, the display pattern γ is a display pattern that notifies that the game state is controlled to a jackpot game state, and the display pattern γ is determined when the MY counter value is 95001 or more and there are a plurality of pending memories that result in a jackpot. It is set so that it cannot be done.

After executing the process of step 005SGS246 or step 005SGS149, the effect control CPU 120 sets a flag value corresponding to whether or not the pre-reading advance notice effect is executed and the display pattern to the pending display flag of the entry (step 005SGS247). For example, when it is determined not to execute the pending display notice effect, the pending display flag of the entry is set to "0", and when execution with the display pattern α of the pending display notice effect is decided. sets "1" to the pending display flag of the entry, and sets "2" to the pending display flag of the entry when it is determined to execute the pending display notice effect in the display pattern β, When it is decided to execute the pending display announcement effect in the display pattern γ, the pending display flag of the entry is set to "3", and the process proceeds to step 005SGS252.

Then, in step 005SGS252, the pending display is updated based on the stored content (the value of the pending display flag) of the start winning receive command buffer 005SG194A (step 005SGS252). As a result, the pending memory newly stored in the receive command buffer 005SG194A at the time of start winning is a display mode corresponding to any of "0", "1", "2", and "3" set in the pending display flag. is displayed in Also, when the variable display is executed and the storage contents of the start winning command buffer 005SG194A are shifted, the image display device 5 can be displayed according to the storage contents of the start winning command buffer 005SG194A after the shift. The reserved display in the first reserved memory display area 5D and the second reserved memory display area 5U provided in the lower position is updated.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12-8-18 (B), if the first special figure pending memory number is one, one pending memory display is displayed. As for the display mode of this reserved memory display, when the flag value of the reserved display flag corresponding to the reserved memory is "0", "○" is displayed as shown in Fig. 12-8-18(B). mode, and when the flag value of the pending display flag is "1", it is displayed in the display mode of "◇", and when the flag value of the pending display flag is "2", " ☆” is displayed. In addition, if the number of the first special figure pending memory is two, two pending memory display is displayed, each pending memory display mode corresponding to the flag value set to the pending display flag of the corresponding pending memory is displayed in the first reserved memory display area 5D. Also, if the number of the first special figure pending memory is three, three pending memory display is displayed, each pending memory display mode according to the flag value set to the pending display flag of the corresponding pending memory is displayed in the first reserved memory display area 5D. Also, if the number of first special figure pending storage is four, four pending storage displays are displayed, each pending storage display mode according to the flag value set to the pending display flag of the corresponding pending storage is displayed in the first reserved memory display area 5D.

In this embodiment, the processing of step 005SGS252 is exemplified in the form of executing the processing of step 005SGS252 in the pre-reading notice effect setting processing, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first reserved storage display area 5D And the process for updating the pending display in the second pending storage display area 5U may be executed separately as a process (for example, pending display update process) different from the pre-reading notice effect setting process.

In addition, in this embodiment, as described above, when the starting winning to the first starting winning opening and the starting winning to the second starting winning opening occur at the same time, the command at the time of starting winning in the first special figure is new. Both the reserved memory stored in the second special figure and the reserved memory in which the command at the time of the start prize in the second special figure are newly stored are subject to the determination of execution and non-execution of the pre-reading notice effect, but the present invention is based on this It is not limited, and in such a case, the execution and non-execution of the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved memory in the first special plan, the execution and non-execution of the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved memory in the second special plan may be determined to be only one of them.

Specifically, when the game state is a normal state in which the high opening control is not performed, the determination of execution and non-execution of the pre-reading advance notice effect in the reserved storage in the first special symbol is suspended in the second special symbol. Priority is given to the determination of execution or non-execution of the pre-reading foretelling effect in memory. Then, when it is decided to execute the pre-reading advance notice effect in the reserved memory in the first special plan, the execution of the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved memory in the second special plan is unambiguously determined to be non-execution, and the first special plan When it is decided not to execute the pre-reading advance notice effect in the reserved memory in the figure, it is sufficient to decide whether to execute the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved memory in the second special figure.

On the other hand, if the game state is a time-saving state or a variable probability state in which high opening control is performed, the determination of execution and non-execution of the pre-reading advance notice effect in the second special drawing is reserved memory in the first special drawing. Prioritize the execution and non-execution of the pre-reading notice effect in . Then, when it is decided to execute the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved memory in the second special plan, the execution of the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved memory in the first special plan is unequivocally determined to be non-execution, and the second special plan When it is decided not to execute the pre-reading advance notice effect in the reserved memory in the figure, it is sufficient to decide whether to execute the pre-reading notice effect in the reserved memory in the first special figure.

(Game Stop Suggestion Effect Processing)
FIG. 12-41 is a flow chart showing an example of processing executed in step S163 of FIG. 12-38 as game stop suggestion effect processing. In the game stop suggestion effect process shown in FIG. 12-41, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the game stop suggestion effect process timer is in operation (step 005 SGS401). If the game stop suggestion effect process timer is not in operation (step 005SGS401; N), it is further determined whether or not the third MY counter value notification command has been received (step 005SGS402). If the third MY counter value notification command is not received (step 005 SGS402; N), the game stop suggestion effect process is terminated, and if the third MY counter value notification command is received, that is, the MY counter value is in the range of 95001 to 98194. (Step 005SGS402), the game state is specified (Step 005SGS403), and it is determined whether or not the specified game state is the normal state (Step 005SGS404).

If the specified game state is the regular state (step 005SGS404; Y), select the process table of the game stop suggestion effect corresponding to the normal state, and proceed to step 005SGS407 (step 005SGS405). Also, if the specified gaming state is either the time saving state or the probability variable state (step 005 SGS404; N), select the process table of the game stop suggestion effect according to the time saving state / probability variable state, and proceed to step 005 SGS407 ( step 005 SGS 406).

Then, in 005SGS407, the effect control CPU 120 starts the game stop suggestion effect process timer in the process data 1 of the process table of the selected game stop suggestion effect (step 005SGS407). Incidentally, in this embodiment, the process table of the game stop suggestion effect corresponding to each game stop suggestion effect is stored in the ROM 121 in advance.

And the effect control CPU 120 is the contents of the first process data 1 of the set game stop suggestion effect process table (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1, etc.) According to the control of the production device (the image display device 5 as the production component, the game effect lamp 9 as the production component, the speakers 8L and 8R as the production component, the stick controller 31A, the push button 31B, etc.) is started, and the game The stop suggestion effect processing is ended (step 005 SGS408).

Further, when the game stop suggestion effect process timer is in operation at step 005SGS401 (step 005SGS401; Y), the game stop suggestion effect process timer value is decremented by -1 (step 005SGS409), and the game stop suggestion effect process timer is set to the timer. It is determined whether or not it is out (step 005 SGS410). When the game stop suggestion effect process timer has not timed out (step 005SGS410; N), the process proceeds to step 005SGS414, and when the game stop suggestion effect process timer has timed out (step 005SGS410; Y), the timer has timed out. It is determined whether or not the game stop suggestion effect process timer is the last game stop suggestion effect process timer (step 005 SGS411). When the game stop suggesting effect process timer that has timed out is the last game stop suggesting effect process timer (step 005SGS411; Y), the processes of steps 005SGS407 and 005SGS408 are executed to end the game stop suggesting effect process.

Further, when the game stop suggesting effect process timer that has timed out is not the last game stop suggesting effect process timer (step 005SGS411; N), the process data of the game stop suggesting effect is switched (step 005SGS412). That is, by setting the game stop effect process timer set value next set in the process table of the game stop suggestion effect to the process timer, the next process timer (game stop effect process timer) is restarted, and the process proceeds to step 005 SGS414. Proceed (step 005 SGS413).

In step 005SGS414, the display control execution data, the lamp control execution data, the sound control execution data, the operation unit control execution data, etc. included in the process data of the game stop suggestion effect are changed according to the value of the game stop suggestion effect process timer. Based on this, the control state for the effect device (parts for effect) is executed, and the game stop doctor effect processing is terminated.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the normal state, time saving state, variable probability state, based on the fact that the MY counter value reaches 95001, the game stop suggestion effect is started, and these game stop suggestion effects are , the game is repeatedly executed in the pachinko game machine 1 until the game is stopped.

In addition, when the game state is the normal state and when the game state is the time saving state/probability variable state, since the process table of the game stop suggestion effect is selected, in the normal state The effect mode of the game stop suggesting effect to be executed is different from the game stop suggesting effect to be executed in the time saving state and the probability variable state.

In this embodiment, by executing the game stop suggesting effect, a mode is exemplified in which it is suggested that the game is stopped in the pachinko gaming machine 1, but the present invention is not limited to this. As the game stop suggestion effect, the number of remaining balls (the number of net increased balls) until the game is stopped may be notified to the player by displaying on the image display device 5 or by sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R. good. In this way, as a game stop suggestion effect, when notifying the number of remaining balls until the game is stopped, for example, as a command that the CPU 103 can transmit toward the effect control board 12, the out switch 26 causes the game ball In addition to providing a command (out notification command) for notifying the detection, the effect control CPU 120 is provided with an effect MY counter that can increase or decrease the value by receiving the out notification command or the prize ball number notification command. Depending on the value of the counter, it may be possible to notify whether or not to execute the game stop suggestion effect, and the number of remaining balls (the number of net increase in balls) until the game is stopped.

In addition, as described above, in the case of executing the game stop suggesting effect by the effect MY counter value, for example, the data on the effect control board 12 side is reset due to the occurrence of an instantaneous power failure (instantaneous power failure). If the command from the CPU 103 cannot be received normally, there is a possibility that the correct MY counter value cannot be grasped by the effect MY counter. Therefore, when the effect control CPU 120 can grasp (identify) the effect MY counter value, the effect control CPU 120 notifies the number of remaining balls until the game is stopped as a game stop suggestion effect. is unable to grasp (specify) the MY counter value for effect, as a game stop suggestion effect, instead of the specific number of remaining balls until the game is stopped, the display of "game stop imminent" (Fig. 12-55 See), etc., it may be limited to only suggesting that the game is to be stopped.

Furthermore, when it is possible to notify the number of remaining balls (the number of net increase balls) until the game is stopped as a game stop suggestion effect, as described above, the command that the CPU 103 can transmit to the effect control board 12 , in addition to the first to third MY counter value notification commands, a command (E1XXH) to notify the thousands digit of the MY counter value, a command (E2XXH) to notify the hundreds digit of the MY counter value, MY A command (E3XXH) for notifying the tens digit of the counter value and a command (E4XXH) for notifying the one digit of the MY counter value are provided, and are set as "XX" (EXT data) for each command. The effect control CPU 120 may be able to specify the value of each place by a numerical value. By doing so, even if the production control CPU 120 cannot specify the MY counter value due to failure to receive each command accurately, the production control CPU 120 can accurately determine the MY counter value at the start of the next variable display. It is possible to specify the MY counter value, and it is possible to accurately notify the number of remaining balls (the number of net increase balls) until the game is stopped as a game stop suggesting effect.

In addition, in this embodiment, the state in which the game stop flag is set in the jackpot game state is also the state in which the game stop suggestion effect is being executed, and in this state, the pachinko game machine 1 is powered off. In this case, since the pachinko gaming machine 1 is activated in the jackpot game state, the CPU 103 cannot transmit the MY counter value notification command with the start of a new variable display, and the effect control CPU 120 suggests game stop. The performance cannot be resumed. Therefore, when the pachinko gaming machine is started in the jackpot game state, the CPU 103 transmits a game stop flag state notification command indicating whether or not the game stop flag is set at the start to the effect control board 12. Then, the effect control CPU 120 may restart the game stop suggesting effect based on specifying that the game stop flag is set from the game stop flag state notification command.

(Right-handed promotion display processing)
FIG. 12-42 is a flow chart showing an example of the processing executed in step S164 of FIG. 12-38 as the right-handed promotion display processing. In the right-handed promotion display process shown in FIG. 12-42, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the value of the effect control process flag is "4" indicating the effect process during the big hit (step 005 SGS421). If the value of the effect control process flag is "4" indicating the effect process during the big hit (step 005SGS421; Y), it is determined whether or not the right-handed promotion display is already being displayed on the image display device 5 (step 005 SGS422). If the image display device 5 is already displaying the right-handed promotion display (step 005 SGS422; Y), the right-handed promotion display process is terminated, and if the right-handed promotion display is not displayed on the image display device 5 ( Step 005SGS422; N) starts displaying the right-handed promotion display at a predetermined position of the image display device 5 (for example, the central upper part of the display area of the image display device 5), and ends the right-handed promotion display processing (step 005SGS423). ).

Further, when the value of the effect control process flag is not "4" indicating the effect processing during the big hit (step 005 SGS421; N), the value of the effect control process flag is "0" indicating the variable display start waiting process. (Step 005SGS424). If the value of the effect control process flag is "0" indicating the variable display start waiting process, it is determined whether or not the game state is the normal state (step 005 SGS425). If the game state is one of the time saving state, the variable probability state, and the jackpot game state (step 005SGS425; N), the right-handed promotion display process is terminated, and if the game state is the normal state (005SGS425; Y), further It is determined whether or not the image display device 5 is displaying the right-handed promotion display (step 005 SGS426).

If the image display device 5 is not displaying the right-handed promotion display (step 005SGS426; N), the right-handed promotion display process is terminated. ) terminates the display of the right-handed promotion display and ends the right-handed promotion display processing (step 005 SGS427).

Further, when the value of the effect control process flag is not "0" indicating the variable display start waiting process (step 005SGS424; N), the value of the effect control process flag is "6" indicating the game stop effect process. (step 005SGS428). When the value of the effect control process flag is "6" indicating the game stop effect process (step 005SGS428; Y), the display of the right-handed promotion display is ended, and the right-handed promotion display process is ended (step 005SGS427). If the value of the effect control process flag is not "6" indicating the game stop effect process (step 005 SGS428; N), the right-handed promotion display process is terminated.

As described above, in this embodiment, the image display device 5 starts to display the right-handed promotion display by controlling to the jackpot game state based on the variable display in the normal state. In addition, the right-handed promotion display is, until the variable display is executed 100 times without being controlled to the jackpot game state in the time saving state (until it is controlled to the normal state again), the time saving state, the probability variable state, the jackpot game The display is continued in the state.

(Variable display start setting process)
FIG. 12-43 is a flow chart showing the variable display start setting process (step S171) in the effect control process shown in FIG. 12-39. In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variable display start command reception flag is ON (step 005 SGS431). If the first variable display start command reception flag is ON (step 005SGS431; Y), the buffer number "1-0" to "1-4" of the first special figure reservation storage in the start winning time reception command buffer 005SG194A various command data and various flags stored in association with are shifted upward by one buffer number (step 005 SGS432). The contents of the buffer number "1-0" are erased because they cannot be shifted because there is no place to shift them.

Specifically, the various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-1" of the first special figure reservation storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "1-0" Then, the various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-2" of the first special figure reservation storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "1-1", Various command data and various flags stored in correspondence with the buffer number "1-3" of the 1 special figure reservation storage are shifted so as to be stored in correspondence with the buffer number "1-2", the first special figure Various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers "1-4" of the reserved storage are shifted so as to be associated with the buffer numbers "1-3" and stored.

If the first variable display start command reception flag is off at step 005SGS431 (step 005SGS431; N), it is determined whether or not the second variable display start command reception flag is on (step 005SGS433). If the second variable display start command reception flag is off (step 005SGS433; N), the variable display start setting process is terminated; if the second variable display start command reception flag is on (step 005SGS433; Y ), various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers "2-0" to "2-4" of the second special figure reservation storage in the reception command buffer 005SG194A at the start winning, one buffer number It shifts up by minutes (step 005SGS434). The content of the buffer number "2-0" is erased because it cannot be shifted because there is no place to shift.

Specifically, the various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-1" of the second special figure reservation storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "2-0" Then, the various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-2" of the second special figure reservation storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "2-1", Various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-3" of the 2 special figure pending storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "2-2", and the second special figure Various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-4" of the reserved storage are shifted so as to be associated with the buffer number "2-3" and stored.

After executing step 005SGS432 or step 005SGS434, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (step 005SGS435).

Next, the display result (stop design) of the decorative design is determined according to the data stored in the display result designating command storage area (that is, the received display result designating command) (step 005 SGS436). In this case, the effect control CPU 120 determines the stop pattern of the decorative pattern corresponding to the display result specified by the display result specifying command, and stores the data indicating the stop pattern of the determined decorative pattern in the decorative pattern display result storage area. do.

In this embodiment, when the received variable display result designation command is the second variable display result designation command corresponding to the big hit A, the effect control CPU 120, for example, determines that three symbols are even-numbered as the stop symbols. A combination of decorative patterns (jackpot pattern) is determined. Further, when the received variable display result designation command is the third variable display result designation command corresponding to the big hit B, a plurality of combinations of odd-numbered symbols other than "7" (for example, "111", " 333", "555", "999", etc.). Further, when the received variable display result designation command is the fourth variable display result designation command corresponding to the jackpot C, a combination of decoration patterns including "7" patterns is determined as the stop pattern. Further, when the received variable display result specifying command is the first variable display result specifying command corresponding to the loss, if the variation pattern is a non-reach loss variation pattern, the three symbols are irregular as the stop symbols. Determine the combination of decorative patterns (non-reach lost pattern), and if the variation pattern is normal reach lost or super reach lost, the left and right patterns are aligned as the stop pattern, but the inner pattern is not aligned. A combination of decorative symbols (for example, winning symbols such as "121" and "434" which are out of reach) may be determined.

In determining these stop symbols, the effect control CPU 120 extracts, for example, random numbers for determining the stop symbols, and uses a stop symbol determination table in which data indicating combinations of decorative symbols and numerical values are associated with each other. Then, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol may be determined. That is, the stop symbol may be determined by selecting data indicating a combination of decoration symbols corresponding to a numerical value matching the extracted random number.

In this embodiment, when the variable display result is a big win, if the big win type is a big win A, then a combination of even numbered symbols will be a big win, and if the big win type is a big win B, a combination of odd numbered symbols other than "7" will be a big hit. Although the form of determining the pattern has been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and if the jackpot type is A, the combination of odd number patterns other than "7" may be used to determine the jackpot pattern. Alternatively, when the jackpot type is the jackpot B, a case may be provided in which the jackpot pattern is determined by a combination of even-numbered patterns. Furthermore, when the jackpot type is jackpot C, a case may be provided in which the jackpot pattern is determined for a combination of odd or even numbers other than "7".

Next, the effect control CPU 120 selects the effect control pattern (process table) corresponding to the variation pattern specification command after executing the notice effect determination process (step 005SGS438) (step 005SGS439). Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (step 005SGS440).

The process table contains display control execution data for controlling the display of the image display device 5, lamp control execution data for controlling the lighting of each LED, and data for controlling sounds output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Sound control execution data, operation unit control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B and stick controller 31A, etc. are arranged in chronological order in association with each process data n (numbers 1 to N). there is

Next, the effect control CPU 120 controls the effect device (image display as a component for effect) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1). The device 5, various lamps as performance parts, speakers 8L and 8R as performance parts, and operation units (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) are controlled (step 005SGS441). For example, a command is output to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image corresponding to the variation pattern on the image display device 5 . It also outputs a control signal (lamp control execution data) to the lamp control board 14 in order to control lighting/extinguishing of various lamps. Also, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the audio control board 13 in order to output audio from the speakers 8L and 8R.

In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 controls so that the decorative pattern is displayed variably according to the variation pattern corresponding to the variation pattern designation command one-to-one. A variation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of variation patterns corresponding to commands.

Then, a variable display time timer is set to a value corresponding to the variable display time specified by the variation pattern designation command (step 005 SGS442). Also, a predetermined time is set in the variable display control timer (step 005SGS443). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 writes image data indicating the display state of the left, middle, and right decorative patterns to the VRAM every time the predetermined time elapses. A signal corresponding to the image data obtained is output to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the signal, thereby realizing variable display (fluctuation) of the decoration pattern. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the effect process during variable display (step S172), and the variable display start setting process is terminated (step 005SGS444).

(Notice effect determination process)
FIG. 12-44 is a flow chart showing the advance notice effect determination process (step 005SGS438) in the variable display start setting process shown in FIG. 12-43. In the advance notice effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 first identifies the variable display result and the variation pattern of the variable display from the read-out variation pattern designation command, the data stored in the display result designation command storage area, and the like. (Step 005SGS451), the range of the MY counter value is specified from the received MY counter value notification command (Step 005SGS452). Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute the notice effect and the effect pattern of the notice effect according to the specified variable display result, the variation pattern, and the range of the MY counter value (step 005SGS453).

Note that the advance notice effect in this embodiment is, for example, a character advance notice effect in which a character is displayed on the image display device 5, and is an effect in which the character displayed differs according to the effect pattern. In addition, as the character advance notice effect, the ratio of the variable display result to the big win differs depending on the character (effect pattern) to be displayed.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12-45(A), when the variable display result is a big hit and the range of the MY counter value is 0 to 95000, the non-execution of the notice effect is decided at a rate of 15%, It is decided to execute the advance notice effect in production pattern X with 30% allocation (character X is displayed as the character advance notice effect), and to execute the advance notice effect in production pattern Y at the ratio of 50% (character It decides to display the character Y as the advance notice effect), and decides to execute the notice effect in the effect pattern Z at a rate of 5% (display the character Z as the character advance notice effect).

Also, as shown in FIG. 12-45(B), when the variable display result is a big hit and the range of the MY counter value is 95001 to 98194, the non-execution of the notice effect is decided at a rate of 15%, It is decided to execute the advance notice effect in production pattern X with 30% allocation (character X is displayed as the character advance notice effect), and to execute the advance notice effect in production pattern Y at the rate of 55% (character It decides to display the character Y as the advance notice effect), and decides to execute the notice effect in the effect pattern Z at a rate of 0% (display the character Z as the character advance notice effect).

As shown in Figure 12-45 (C), when the variable display result is lost and the variation pattern is non-reach, 95% of the time it is decided not to execute the notice effect, and 5% of the allocation It is determined that the announcement effect is to be executed in production pattern X (character X is displayed as character announcement effect), and the announcement effect is executed in production pattern Y at a rate of 0% (character Y is displayed as character announcement effect). is determined), and execution of the advance notice effect in the effect pattern Z at a rate of 0% (display of the character Z as the character advance notice effect) is determined. In addition, when the variable display result is a failure and the variation pattern is normal reach, non-execution of the advance notice performance is determined at a rate of 70%, and the notice performance is executed in the performance pattern X at an allocation of 25%. (displaying character X as a character advance notice effect), executing the advance notice effect in the effect pattern Y at a rate of 5% (displaying character Y as a character advance notice effect), and 0% It is decided to execute the advance notice effect in the effect pattern Z (display the character Z as the character advance notice effect) at the ratio of . Then, when the result of the variable display is lost and the variation pattern is super reach, non-execution of the advance notice performance is decided at a rate of 50%, and the notice performance is executed in the performance pattern X at the allocation of 30%. (to display the character X as the character advance notice effect), to execute the notice effect in the effect pattern Y at a rate of 20% (to display the character Y as the character advance notice effect), and 0 %, it is determined that the forewarning performance is to be executed in the performance pattern Z (the character Z is displayed as the character foretelling performance).

In other words, in this embodiment, when the advance notice effect is executed, the variable display result is set to be a big hit at a higher rate than when the advance notice effect is not executed. Furthermore, in the case of executing the advance notice effect, when the advance notice effect is executed in the effect pattern X, the ratio of the variable display result to the big win is the lowest, and when the advance notice effect is executed in the effect pattern Z, the variable display is the lowest. The ratio of the result to be a big hit is set high (percentage of the variable display result to be a big hit in the presence or absence of the execution of the notice effect and the effect pattern (jackpot expectation): No notice effect < Execute the notice effect with effect pattern X <The notice effect is executed with the effect pattern Y<The notice effect is executed with the effect pattern Z).

In particular, the production pattern Z of this implementation ray is a production pattern that informs that the variable display result will be a big hit, but it is a production pattern that can be determined only when the MY counter value is in the range of 0 to 95000, and the MY counter value. is 95001 or more, it is set not to be determined.

Returning to FIG. 12-44, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not execution of the advance notice effect is determined in step 005SGS453 (step 005SGS454). If execution of the notice effect is not determined (step 005SGS454; N), the notice effect determination process is terminated, and if execution of the notice effect is determined (step 005SGS454; Y), a timer for waiting for the start of the notice effect is set. The advance notice effect determination process is ended (step 005SGS455).

When the timer for waiting for the start of the notice effect is set, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the timer for waiting for the start of the notice effect by -1 each time the effect processing during variable display (step 172) is executed, and the notice effect is started. From the timing when the waiting timer times out, a process table of advance notice performance corresponding to the determined performance pattern is selected and the process timer of notice performance is started. After that, each time the effect processing during variable display is executed, the value of the process timer of the notice effect is subtracted, the process data control content is executed according to the process timer value of the notice effect, the process timer and process data of the notice effect are executed. The advance notice effect may be executed by switching the .

In this embodiment, a form in which a character notice effect can be executed as the notice effect is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the notice effect may include, for example, other characters than the character notice effect. For example, a step-up notice in which the notice image changes step by step, or a group notice in which a group of predetermined characters crosses the display area may be determined. When the performance is determined, the timing for starting the announcement performance differs depending on the mode of the announcement performance, so different periods according to the mode of the announcement performance may be set in the timer for waiting for the start of the announcement performance.

(Waiting process per special figure)
Figure 12-46 is a flow chart showing the special figure per waiting process (step S173) in the effect control process shown in Figure 12-38. In the special figure hit waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not a jackpot start designation command is received (step 005 SGS800). If no jackpot start designation command is received (step 005SGS800; N), it is further determined whether or not the effect process timer is in operation during the symbol fixing period (step 005SGS801). If the effect process timer is not in operation during the symbol fixation period (step 005SGS801; N), it is determined whether or not the first symbol fixation command is received in the effect process during variable display (step 005SGS803). When the first symbol confirmation command is received in the variable display effect process (step 005 SGS803; Y), the effect during the symbol confirmation period corresponding to the symbol confirmation period being 0.5 seconds (first symbol confirmation period Select the process table for medium effect and proceed to step 005SGS807 (step 005SGS804).

It should be noted that, as shown in FIG. 12-49, the effect during the first symbol fixing period in the present embodiment only displays the fixed stop symbol during the symbol fixing period until the start of the next variable display, and displays other images. , light emission of LED, output of sound effects, etc. are not executed.

Further, when the second symbol confirmation command is received in the variable display effect process (step 005SGS803; N), the effect control CPU 120 specifies the value of the prize ball counter (step 005SGS805), and the symbol determination period is 10 seconds, the process table for the effect during the symbol fixing period (the effect during the second symbol fixing period) is selected, and the process proceeds to step 005SGS807 (step 005SGS806).

It should be noted that the effect during the second symbol determination period in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. Based on this, the game state is controlled from the time-saving state or probability variable state to the normal state, and the value of the number-of-balls counter is displayed on the image display device 5 .

Then, the effect control CPU 120 starts the effect process timer during the symbol fixing period corresponding to the symbol fixing period in step 005SGS807, and the content of the first process data 1 in the process table for the effect during the selected symbol fixing period (display control (execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1, etc.). Speakers 8L and 8R as parts, stick controller 31A, push button 31B, etc.) are started to control, and the special figure per waiting process is ended (step 005 SGS808).

In addition, when the effect process timer is in operation during the pattern fixing period (step 005SGS801; Y), the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the effect process timer during the pattern fixing period by -1 (step 005SGS809), and during the pattern fixing period. It is determined whether or not the production process timer has timed out (step 005SGS810). When the production process timer has not timed out during the pattern fixing period (step 005SGS810; N), the control of the production device is executed according to the content of the process data corresponding to the process timer during the pattern fixing period to perform the special pattern waiting process. When finished (step 005SGS811) and the effect process timer during the pattern fixing period has timed out (step 005SGS810; Y), the effect process timer during the pattern fixing period that has timed out is the last pattern fixing period effect process timer. (Step 005SGS812).

If the timed-out pattern fixing period production process timer is not the last pattern fixing period production process timer (step 005SGS812; N), the process data is switched (step 005SGS813), and the next pattern fixing period production process is performed. A timer is started (step 005 SGS814). Then, the effect device is controlled according to the contents of the next process data (step 005 SGS815), and the special figure per waiting process is terminated.

In addition, when the effect process timer during the pattern fixing period that has timed out is the final effect process timer during the pattern fixing period (step 005 SGS812; Y), the value of the effect control process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the variable display start waiting process. Update (step 005 SGS816), and end the waiting process per special figure.

Then, when there is reception of a jackpot start designation command (step 005SGS800; Y), the value of the performance control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot middle performance processing (step 005SGS817), and the special prize waiting processing is terminated. .

(Ending effect processing)
FIG. 12-47 is a flow chart showing the ending effect processing (step S175) in the effect control process shown in FIG. 12-38. In addition, as shown in FIG. 12-49, the ending effect in the present embodiment is, for 20 seconds after the end of the jackpot game, the game state is controlled to the time-saving state or the probability variable state, or the prepaid card is forgotten. This is an effect in which an image prompting prevention is displayed on the image display device 5 .

In the ending effect process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the ending effect process timer is in operation (step 005SGS822). If the ending effect process timer is not in operation (step 005SGS821; N), a process table for ending effect is selected (step 005SGS822), and the ending effect process timer is started (step 005SGS823). Also, the effect device is controlled according to the content of the process data 1 (step 005SGS824), and the ending effect processing is terminated.

On the other hand, when the ending effect process timer is in operation (step 005SGS821; Y), the value of the ending effect process timer is decremented by 1 (step 005SGS825), and it is determined whether or not the ending effect process timer has timed out. (Step 005SGS826). If the ending effect process timer has not timed out (step 005SGS826; N), control of the effect device is executed according to the content of the process data corresponding to the ending effect process timer (step 005SGS831), and the ending effect processing is terminated.

Also, when the ending effect process timer has timed out, it is determined whether or not the ending effect process timer that has timed out is the last ending effect process timer (step 005 SGS827). If the ending effect process timer that has timed out is not the last ending effect process timer (step 005SGS827; N), the process data is switched (step 005SGS828) and the next ending effect process timer is started (step 005SGS829). Then, the effect device is controlled according to the contents of the next process data (step 005SGS830), and the ending effect processing is terminated.

If the ending effect process timer that has timed out is the last ending effect process timer (step 005SGS827; Y), the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the variable display start waiting process (step 005SGS832). , ends the ending effect processing.

(Game stop effect processing)
FIG. 12-48 is a flow chart showing the game stop effect processing (step S177) in the effect control process shown in FIG. 12-38. Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 12-49, the game stop effect in this embodiment consists of a first game stop effect and a second game stop effect executed after the first game stop effect. Among these, the first game stop effect is a effect of displaying on the image display device 5 that the game has been stopped for 15 seconds after the game is stopped. Further, the first game stop effect is also an effect of displaying the value of the winning ball number counter on the image display device 5 when the game is stopped in the time saving state or the probability changing state. The second game stop effect prevents the user from forgetting to take out the prepaid card over the period from the end timing of the first game stop effect until the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is stopped (power off). This is an effect in which an image prompting the user is displayed on the image display device 5 .

In the game stop effect process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the second game stop effect process timer is in operation (step 005SGS841). If the second game stop effect process timer is not in operation (step 005SGS841; N), it is further determined whether or not the first game stop effect process timer is in operation (step 005SGS842).

When the first game stop effect process timer is not in operation (step 005SGS842; N), the effect control CPU 120 specifies the value of the prize ball number counter (step 005SGS843a) and specifies the game state (step 005SGS843b). . Then, the process table for the first game stop effect corresponding to the game state is selected (step 005SGS844). Also, the first game stop effect process timer is started (step 005SGS845), the effect device is controlled according to the content of the process data 1 (step 005SGS846), and the game stop effect process is terminated.

Further, when the first game stop effect process timer is in operation (step 005SGS842; Y), the effect control CPU 120 decreases the value of the first game stop effect process timer by -1 (step 005SGS847), and the first game It is determined whether or not the stop effect process timer has timed out (step 005SGS848). When the first game stop effect process timer has not timed out (step 005SGS848; N), the effect device is controlled according to the content of the process data corresponding to the first game stop effect process timer (step 005SGS583), and the game is played. When the stop effect process is terminated and the first game stop effect process timer has timed out (step 005SGS848; Y), whether or not the first game stop effect process timer that has timed out is the last game stop effect process timer. (step 005SGS849).

When the first game stop effect process timer that has timed out is not the last first game stop effect process timer (step 005SGS849; N), the process data is switched (step 005SGS850), and the next first game stop effect is performed. A process timer is started (step 005SGS851). Then, the effect device is controlled according to the contents of the next process data (step 005SGS852), and the game stop effect processing is terminated.

In addition, when the first game stop effect process timer that has timed out is the last game stop effect process timer (step 005SGS849; Y), then the second game stop effect process table is selected (step 005SGS854) and the second game stop effect process table is selected (step 005SGS854). 2 A game stop effect process timer is started (step 005SGS855). Then, the effect device is controlled according to the content of the process data 1 (step 005SGS856), and the game stop effect processing is terminated.

Next, when the second game stop effect process timer is in operation (step 005SGS841; Y), the value of the second game stop effect process timer is decremented by -1 (step 005SGS857), and the second game stop effect process timer has timed out (step 005SGS858). When the second game stop effect process timer has not timed out (step 005SGS858; N), the effect device is controlled according to the content of the process data corresponding to the second game stop effect process timer (step 005SGS863), and the game is stopped. Terminate the production process. Further, when the second game stop effect process timer has timed out (step 005SGS858; Y), it is determined whether or not the second game stop effect process timer that has timed out is the last second game stop effect process timer. (step 005SGS589).

When the second game stop effect process timer that has timed out is not the last second game stop effect process timer (step 005SGS589; N), the process data is switched (step 005SGS860), and the next second game stop effect process timer is started (step 005SGS861). Also, the effect device is controlled according to the contents of the next process data (step 005 SGS862), and the game stop effect processing is terminated. On the other hand, when the second game stop effect process timer that has timed out is the last second game stop effect process timer, the processes of steps 005SGS855 and 005SGS856 are executed to end the game stop effect process.

As described above, in this embodiment, it is possible to execute the effects during the first symbol confirmation period, the effects during the second symbol confirmation period, the ending effects, the first game stop effect, and the second game stop effects shown in FIG. 12-49. It's becoming

Among these productions, the production during the second symbol determination period, as shown in FIG. During the execution period of the second symbol confirmation effect, the right-hand hitting promotion display is continuously executed from the time-saving state on the image display device 5, and the right-hand hitting is executed. The promotion display disappears when the effect is completed during the period of fixing the second symbol. Furthermore, during the execution period of the effect during the second symbol determination period, the blinking of the game effect lamp 9 is repeatedly executed at the cycle T1. It should be noted that the game effect lamp 9 is turned off once when the second symbol determination period ends, and then starts lighting up in a manner corresponding to the normal state.

As for the ending effect, as shown in FIG. 12-51, the effect is executed for 20 seconds after the end of the jackpot game. At 5, the right-handed promotion display is continuously executed from the jackpot game state. Furthermore, during the execution period of the ending effect, the blinking of the game effect lamp 9 is repeatedly executed at the period T2. In addition, the game effect lamp 9 is turned off once after the ending effect is completed, and then starts lighting in a mode corresponding to the game state (probability variable state or time saving state) after the big hit game.

The game stop effect, as shown in FIGS. 12-52 (A) and 12-52 (B), is executed when the MY counter value reaches 98194 at a timing other than during the jackpot game, and when the jackpot game is executed. Among them, there is a case where it is executed because the MY counter value reaches 98194.

As shown in FIG. 12-52(A), when the MY counter value reaches 98194 at a timing other than during the jackpot game, if the variable display is being executed at that timing, the variable display is stopped, If the right-handed promotion display is being displayed on the image display device 5, the right-handed promotion display is not displayed, and the first game stop effect is executed for 15 seconds. Then, the second game stop effect is executed from the timing when the first game stop effect ends until the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is stopped.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12-52 (B), when the MY counter value reaches 98194 at the timing of the jackpot game, the right-handed promotion display is hidden at the timing when the jackpot game ends, and the first game A stop effect is executed for 15 seconds. Then, the second game stop effect is executed from the timing when the first game stop effect ends until the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is stopped.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 12-52 (A) and 12-52 (B), in the first game stop effect of the present embodiment, the game effect during the second symbol stop period over the first 10 seconds By using the same data as the data for blinking the lamp 9, the game effect lamp 9 is blinked at the cycle T1. In addition, even in the second game stop effect following the first game stop effect for 5 seconds after the 10 seconds corresponding to the effect period of the second symbol stop effect has passed, the second symbol stop effect is performed during the second symbol stop effect. By continuously using the same data as the data for blinking the game effect lamp 9, the game effect lamp 9 is blinked at the cycle T1.

(Direction mode)
Next, the effect modes of the ending effect, the effect during the second symbol fixing period, the game stop suggesting effect, the game stop effect, and the demonstration display effect in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 12-53 to 12-59.

First, as shown in FIGS. 12-53(A) to 12-53(D), when the result of the variable display is a big win in the normal state, the image display device 5 derives and displays a combination of decorative symbols indicating a big win. Then, the jackpot game is started. At this time, the display of the right-handed promotion display is started on the upper end portion of the image display device 5 .

As shown in FIG. 12-53(D), during the jackpot game, the player can select music to be output from the speakers 8L and 8R by operating the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B. At a predetermined position of the image display device 5 (in this embodiment, the lower left portion of the display area of the image display device 5), the title of the song currently being output from the speakers 8L and 8R is displayed. In the lower right portion of the image display device 5, the number of prize balls that can be paid out during the big win game and the number of prize balls that have been paid out during the big win game are displayed.

Then, when the big hit game ends, the game state is controlled to the time saving state or the probability variable state as the ending effect ("Chance time entering!") Display and the number of prize balls counter A value display is performed. In addition, in the ending effect, as shown in FIGS. 12-53 (F) and 12-53 (G), an image urging the user to prevent forgetting to take out the prepaid card, or a message urging the user to prevent addiction to the game is displayed. Display is also performed.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 12-54 (A) to 12-54 (D), when the variable display result is executed 100 times without the variable display result becoming a jackpot in the time saving state or the variable probability state (jackpot game When the time saving control is executed over 100 variable displays without being controlled by the state), the effect is executed during the second symbol fixing period from the timing when the 100th variable display is completed. As an effect during the second symbol fixing period, the game state is displayed to the effect that it is controlled to the normal state (display of "chance time end"), and the value of the prize ball counter (controlled to the normal state from the first hit). The value of the number of prize balls paid out during the jackpot game is displayed. Then, after the end of the effect during the second symbol determination period, a display of a left-handed promotion display prompting the player to hit the game ball toward the left game area 2L is displayed for a predetermined period (for example, 10 seconds). done.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 12-55 (A) to 12-55 (F), in the normal state, the time saving state, and the variable probability state, the MY counter value is increased by the game ball entering one of the winning openings. When the number reaches 95001, from the start of the next variable display, a game stop suggestion image indicating that the pachinko game machine 1 will soon stop the game is displayed at both left and right ends of the display area of the image display device 5 as a game stop suggestion effect. (display of "game stop imminent") is displayed. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 12-55(C) and 12-55(F), the display mode of the game stop suggestion image displayed when the MY counter value reaches 95001 in the normal state is different in the display mode of the game stop suggestion image displayed when the MY counter value reaches 95001 in the time saving state or the variable probability state.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 12-56(A) to 12-56(F), regarding the case where the MY counter value reaches 95001 due to the game ball entering one of the winning holes during the jackpot game state After the end of the jackpot game, a game stop suggesting image is displayed as a game stop suggesting effect from the start timing of the first variable display in the time saving state or the variable probability state.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 12-57 (A) to 12-57 (H), after the game stop suggesting effect is started, the MY counter value is displayed when the game ball enters one of the winning holes. reaches 98194, the second game stop effect is executed after the first game stop effect is executed.

As shown in FIGS. 12-57(A) to 12-57(D), when the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the game state is the normal state, the MY counter is displayed as the first game stop effect. It is displayed that the game has stopped due to the value reaching 98194. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 12-57 (E) to 12-57 (H), if the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the gaming state is a time saving state or a variable probability state, the first game stop As effects, the game is stopped due to the MY counter value reaching 98194, the effect of congratulations due to the MY counter value reaching 98194, and the prize ball counter value are displayed. That is, in the present embodiment, the effect mode of the first game stop effect is different between when the game state is the normal state and when the game state is the time saving state or the variable probability state.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 12-57 (C), 12-57 (D), 12-57 (G), and 12-57 (H), as the second game stop effect, regardless of the game state First, a display is made to urge the player not to forget to take the prepaid card and to call an employee of the game parlor set to the pachinko game machine 1 when the game is stopped.

In addition, if the output of the voice prompting to call the game hall employee is output for a long time until the game hall employee arrives, the player of the pachinko machine 1 and other people in the surroundings are output. Since this would cause stress to the player, the output of the voice prompting to call the staff of the game hall should be performed at intervals (for example, 5 minutes after outputting the voice for 1 minute). It may be repeated to take a minute interval), or after outputting a voice prompting to call a game hall employee for a predetermined period (for example, 1 minute), after that, from the speakers 8L and 8R It is also possible not to output the voice.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 12-52 (A) and 12-52 (B), during execution of the first game stop effect and during execution of the second game stop effect in this embodiment, the game effect lamp 9 is flashed at the cycle T1, but the present invention is not limited to this. (flashing or lighting), in the second game stop effect, the game effect lamp 9 may be caused to emit light in a manner different from the first game stop effect as a mode corresponding to the second game stop effect. . In particular, as the second game stop effect, the main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, and A part or all of the attacker lamp 9c and the movable body lamp 9d may be caused to emit light. Furthermore, as the second game stop effect, the main lamp 9a, frame lamp 9b, and Part or all of the attacker lamp 9c and the movable body lamp 9d may be caused to emit light with higher brightness than during the variable display or during the jackpot game.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 12-58 (A) to 12-58 (H), when the game stop suggestion effect is executed, if the variable display result is a big hit, the game will be played after the big win game. A message to the effect that the game will be stopped (display of “ENDING FEVER!” shown in FIG. 12-58(B)) is displayed, and the jackpot game is started. Then, when the MY counter value reaches 98194 during the jackpot game, as shown in FIGS. Continued. When the jackpot game ends, the ending effect is executed after the conventional jackpot game ends. 2 game stop effect is executed.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 12-59 (A) and 12-59 (B), when the game state is the normal state, the time saving state, or the probability variable state, the variable display of special symbols and decorative symbols is executed. In the case where there is no pending memory and the period during which the variable display is not executed reaches a predetermined period (for example, 1 minute), the customer waiting demonstration effect is started. As the customer waiting demonstration effect in this embodiment, first, as shown in FIG. is displayed for 6 seconds. Next, an introductory movie is displayed for 30 seconds to introduce the performances and game features executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1 . During the display of the introductory movie, the display indicating that the aforementioned ending function is installed is continuously executed.

Then, when the display of the introductory movie ends, the display to the effect that the ending function is installed also ends. The display is for 3 seconds, the display for 6 seconds to encourage prevention of addiction to the game shown in Fig. 12-59 (E), and the display for 6 seconds to the effect that the ending function shown in Fig. 12-59 (F) is installed. , respectively, are executed.

By doing so, when the game stop suggesting effect and the customer waiting demo effect are executed in parallel, the player can easily recognize the manufacturer of the pachinko game machine 1, and the player can start the game. It is possible to more effectively enlighten the prevention of addiction.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, the game can be stopped on condition that the MY counter value reaches 98194. Further, in the pachinko game machine 1, after the game state is controlled to the jackpot game state, the game state is controlled to the time-saving state, and furthermore, in the time-saving state, when the variable display is executed 100 times without being controlled to the jackpot game state. , as shown in FIGS. 12-50 and 12-54, during the 100th variable display symbol regular period, the game state is controlled to the normal state as an effect during the second symbol determination period, and a jackpot in the continuous game state. The number of prize balls paid out in the game state, that is, the value of the prize ball counter is displayed. Furthermore, after the jackpot game is completed in a state where the MY counter value has not reached 98194, as shown in FIGS. It is designed to be Then, as shown in FIG. 12-56, when the MY counter value reaches 98194 during the jackpot game, the jackpot game is executed to the end as shown in FIGS. 12-52 and 12-58. After that, the value of the winning ball counter is displayed as a game stop performance instead of the ending performance, so that the marketability of the pachinko game machine 1 capable of stopping the game can be enhanced.

In particular, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the value of the winning ball counter is displayed at the end of the continuous game state including the time saving state, so that the player can be paid out in the jackpot game during the continuous game state. To make it possible to recognize the number of prize balls put out to improve the amusement of the game, and to stop the game after the end of the big win game even when the MY counter value reaches 98194 while being controlled to the big win game state. By displaying the value of the prize ball counter as a performance, the player can recognize the number of prize balls paid out until the game is stopped in the pachinko game machine 1, thereby further improving the game interest. .

In this embodiment, when the MY counter value has not reached 98194, the value of the winning ball counter is displayed as an ending effect for 20 seconds after the end of the jackpot game, while the MY counter value has reached 98194. In the jackpot game, the value of the winning ball counter is displayed as a game stop effect (first game stop effect) for 15 seconds after the end of the jackpot game, but the present invention is not limited to this. However, in the jackpot game in which the MY counter value has reached 98194, prize balls are given as game stop effects (first game stop effects) for 20 seconds, just like after the jackpot game ends when the MY counter value has not reached 98194. You may also display the value of the counter.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12-50, during the second symbol fixing period effect, blinking of the game effect lamp is executed at period T1 for 10 seconds, while as shown in FIG. 12-52 In the game stop effect, after blinking of the game effect lamp 9 is executed at the cycle T1 for 10 seconds as the first game stop effect, the game effect lamp 9 is flashed for 5 seconds at the cycle T1 of the pachinko game machine 1. 9 continues to flash. In particular, in this embodiment, by blinking the game effect lamp 9 in a common cycle during the second symbol fixing period effect and the first game stop effect, the data for blinking the game effect lamp 9 are stored in these second symbol determination period effects and the first game stop effect. The pachinko game can be diverted between the performance during the second symbol determination period and the first game stop performance, and the period for displaying the value of the prize ball counter is different between the performance during the second symbol determination period and the first game stop performance. The manufacturing cost of the machine 1 can be reduced.

In this embodiment, the game effect lamp 9 is caused to flash in a predetermined pattern in common during the second symbol determination period effect and the first game stop effect, and the game effect lamp 9 is flashed at the cycle T1. , but the present invention is not limited to this. The effect lamps 9 may emit light of the same color or may emit light of the same brightness.

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 12-54 (C) and 12-57 (F), when the MY counter value reaches 98194, the value of the prize ball counter is displayed as the first game stop effect. and when the variable display is executed 100 times without being controlled to the jackpot game state in the time saving state or the variable probability state, the value of the prize ball counter is displayed as an effect during the second symbol fixing period. , the value of the winning ball counter can be displayed in a manner according to the situation. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12-54, when the variable display is executed 100 times without being controlled to the jackpot game state in the time saving state or the variable probability state, the left-handed promotion when controlled to the normal state While the display is displayed, as shown in FIGS. 12-57 and 12-58, when the MY counter value reaches 98194 and the game is stopped, the left-handed promotion display is not displayed. It is possible to appropriately execute the left-handed promotion display according to the state to be shifted after the value of is displayed.

In addition, in the continuous game state of the present embodiment, the image display device 5 displays a right-handed promotion display to encourage the player to hit the game ball toward the right game area 2R. Furthermore, as shown in Figures 12-50, 12-52, 12-54, 12-57, and 12-58, when the value of the winning ball counter is displayed as an effect during the second symbol fixing period While the right-handed promotion display is displayed, the right-handed promotion display is not displayed when the value of the winning ball counter is displayed as the first game stop effect. That is, when the value of the prize ball counter is displayed as the first game stop effect, the game in the pachinko game machine 1 is stopped, so the value of the prize ball counter is displayed as the first game stop effect. Sometimes, by hiding the right hitting promotion display, it is possible to prevent the game ball from being hit toward the right game area 2R while the game is stopped.

In addition, in this embodiment, while the value of the winning ball counter is displayed as the first game stop effect, the right-handed promotion display is not displayed, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, when the value of the prize ball counter is displayed as the first game stop effect, the right-hand hitting promotion display is displayed smaller than before the value of the prize ball counter is displayed as the first game stop effect. Alternatively, the right-handed promotion display may be displayed at a position that is more difficult for the player to visually recognize.

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 12-57 (E) to 12-57 (H), when the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the game state is a time saving state, the game state is When the MY counter value reaches 98194 in the variable probability state, the value of the prize ball counter is displayed as a game stop effect in the same manner, so that the MY counter is displayed when these game states are in the time saving state. The data used for displaying the value of the prize ball counter as a game stop effect is shared between when the value reaches 98194 and when the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the game state is in the variable probability state. , and the manufacturing cost of the pachinko game machine 1 can be reduced.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the gaming state is the time saving state, and when the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the gaming state is the variable probability state, the same mode , but the present invention is not limited to this, and when the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the game state is a time saving state, the game state changes probability When the MY counter value reaches 98194 in the state, the game stop effect may be executed in a different mode. By doing so, it is possible for the player to easily recognize in which of the time-saving state or the probability-variable state the game was stopped.

In addition, the normal state of the present embodiment is generally a state in which game balls can win only in the first starting hole and the general winning hole 10, and the number of game balls entering these winning holes is a time-saving state and a variable probability state. , It is a game state less than the jackpot game state. Then, as shown in FIGS. 12-57(A) to 12-57(B), in the first game stop effect when the MY counter value reaches 98194 in the normal state, the prize ball counter value is displayed. Therefore, when the game is stopped in the pachinko game machine 1 in the normal state, it is possible to prevent the player from losing interest in the game due to the value of the winning ball counter being displayed.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 12-57 (E) to 12-57 (H), when the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the gaming state is a time saving state, and when the gaming state is a probability variable state When the MY counter value reaches 98194, the game stop effect is executed in the same manner, so when the MY counter value reaches 98194 in the time saving state and when the MY counter value reaches 98194 in the variable probability state Since the data used for executing the game stop effect can be shared between the case of reaching and the case of reaching, the manufacturing cost of the pachinko game machine 1 can be reduced.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 12-57 (A) to 12-57 (H), when the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the game state is a normal state, the game state is a time saving state or a probability variable state When the MY counter value reaches 98194, the game stop effect is executed in a different mode. It is possible.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the game state is the normal state, and when the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the game state is the time saving state or the probability variable state However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the game state is the normal state. , When the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the game state is the time saving state, and when the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the game state is the variable probability state, the game stop effect is performed in a different manner. may be executed. By doing so, it becomes possible to more preferably execute the game stop effect in accordance with the state in which the MY counter value reaches 98194.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 12-55 (D) to 12-55 (F), when the MY counter value reaches 95001 when the gaming state is a time saving state, and when the gaming state is a probability variable state Since the game stop suggestion effect is executed in the same manner as when the MY counter value reaches 95001, the game state is a probability change when the MY counter value reaches 95001 when the game state is the time saving state When the MY counter value reaches 95001 in the state, the data used for executing the game stop suggesting effect can be shared, and the manufacturing cost of the pachinko game machine 1 can be reduced.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 12-55 (A) to FIG. 12-55 (F), when the MY counter value reaches 95001 when the gaming state is a normal state, the gaming state is a time saving state or a probability variable state When the MY counter value reaches 95001, the game stop suggesting effect is executed in a different mode. It is possible to improve the game interest.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the game state is the normal state, and when the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the game state is the time saving state or the probability variable state However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the game state is the normal state. In this case, when the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the game state is the time saving state, and when the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the game state is the variable probability state, the game stop suggestion is made in a different manner. A production may be executed. By doing so, it becomes possible to more preferably execute the game stop suggestion effect in accordance with the state in which the MY counter value reaches 98194.

In addition, in this embodiment, a pending display effect can be executed as a pre-reading preview effect. As the effect pattern of the pending display effect, three types of display patterns of display pattern α to display pattern γ are provided as the display pattern of the pending display, depending on which display pattern the pending display is displayed. The ratio of being controlled to the big hit game state (big hit expectation) is different. In particular, in the present embodiment, the display pattern γ is 100% indicative of being controlled to the jackpot game state (display pattern notifying that it is controlled to the jackpot game state), while the display pattern γ When the MY counter value is 95001 or more and there are 2 or more pending memories that result in a big hit, the percentage determined as the display pattern of the pending display is set to 0%. By doing so, in the present embodiment, the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped before being controlled to the jackpot game state a plurality of times even though the pending display is displayed in the display pattern γ. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player's interest in the game from decreasing.

In this embodiment, when the MY counter value is 95001 or more and there are two or more pending memories that will be a big hit, the display pattern of the pending display is the display pattern γ for notifying that the game state is controlled to the big win. is set to 0%, but the present invention is not limited to this. However, the presence or absence of restriction on determination of the display pattern γ may be varied according to the game state, or the degree of restriction on determination of the display pattern γ may be varied according to the game state.

For example, even if the MY counter value is 95001 or more and there are 2 or more reserved memories that will be a big hit, if the game state is the normal state, the determination ratio of the display pattern γ is set to 0%. On the other hand, in the time saving state or the variable probability state, the determination ratio of the display pattern γ may be set to 5%. By doing so, for example, when the pending display is displayed in the display pattern γ during execution of the game stop suggesting effect, the variable display of the pending display is executed before the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped. It is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not the game is controlled to the big winning game state.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to execute the advance notice effect during the variable display in one of the effect patterns X to Z, and it is possible to determine which effect pattern the advance notice effect is executed. The ratio of being controlled to the big hit game state (big hit expectation) is different depending on. In particular, the effect pattern Z in the present embodiment suggests that it is controlled to the big hit game state at a rate of 100% (the effect pattern that notifies that it is controlled to the big hit game state), while the effect pattern As for Z, when the MY counter value is 95001 or more, the rate of determination as the effect pattern of the advance notice effect is set to 0%. By doing so, in this embodiment, for example, even though the advance notice effect is executed in the effect pattern Z during the variable display, the MY counter value reaches 98194 during the variable display, resulting in a big hit. It is possible to prevent the player from losing interest in the game due to the occurrence of an event such as the game being stopped in the pachinko game machine 1 before being controlled to the game state.

In this embodiment, when the MY counter value is 95001 or more, only the decision ratio of the production pattern Z with the highest degree of expectation for a big hit as the production pattern of the advance notice production is set to 0%. The invention is not limited to this, and when the MY counter value is 95001 or more, the determination ratio is also determined for the production pattern Y, which has a lower degree of expectation for a big hit than the production pattern Z and a higher degree of expectation for a big hit than the production pattern X. may be set to 0%, or the advance notice effect may be unequivocally not executed.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the MY counter value reaches 98194 in the normal state, the time saving state, and the variable probability state, the game in the pachinko game machine 1 is immediately stopped, while the MY counter value increases in the jackpot game state. When it reaches 98194, by stopping the game in the pachinko game machine 1 when it is controlled from the jackpot game state to the time saving state or the variable probability state, it is possible to preferably stop the game in the pachinko game machine 1. It is possible. Especially in this embodiment, even if the MY counter value reaches 98194 in the jackpot game state, the game is not stopped until the jackpot game ends. The event is prevented from occurring.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12-34, in the payout control timer interrupt process of the present embodiment, a series of processes are executed regardless of whether or not the game is stopped in the pachinko gaming machine 1. there is That is, in this embodiment, even if the game is stopped in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the player operates the ball lending switch 21TM062 to execute the prize ball lending control process, thereby lending the game balls. When the player operates the return switch 21TM063, the prepaid card unit control process is executed to return the prepaid card. Therefore, for example, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 stops playing, the prepaid card can be returned, so that the prepaid card is not returned when the pachinko gaming machine 1 stops playing. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of troubles due to Furthermore, when the game is stopped in the pachinko game machine 1, since complicated processing is not required as payout control timer interrupt processing, an unintended problem occurs in a series of processing within these payout control timer interrupt processing. can be suppressed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12-57, when the MY counter value reaches 98194, the image display device 5 displays a game stop effect to urge the player not to forget to take the prepaid card. Therefore, for example, when the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped, the player forgets to return the prepaid card (operating the return switch 21TM063) and leaves the pachinko gaming machine 1. It is possible to prevent such troubles from occurring.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 12-56 and 12-57, in the present embodiment, even in the ending effect after the end of the jackpot game, the player does not forget to take the prepaid card in the same manner as the game stop effect. At least a part of the data for displaying the urging not to forget to take the prepaid card is made common as the game stop effect and the ending effect. The manufacturing cost of the pachinko game machine 1 can be reduced.

In this embodiment, the image display device 5 displays, as a game stop effect or an ending effect, a display to the effect that the player should not forget to take out the prepaid card. However, the present invention is limited to this. Instead, in the game stop effect, the display urging you not to forget to take the prepaid card is displayed in a wider area than the ending effect, displayed in more colors than the ending effect, and displayed for a longer period than the ending effect. By displaying in a mode that is easier for the player to recognize than when the ending performance is executed, such as by displaying over a period of time, trouble occurs such that the player forgets to return the prepaid card and leaves the pachinko game machine 1.例文帳に追加may be prevented more reliably.

In addition, the pachinko game machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the MY counter value reaches 98194, and when a game stop error such as a radio wave error, a magnet error, or a game ball induction cover operation error occurs, the pachinko game machine 1 game is stopped. Further, when the MY counter value reaches 98194 and when the game stop error occurs, the security signal is output by the information output circuit 112 until the pachinko gaming machine 1 is powered off. Therefore, by outputting the security signal, it is possible to make it easier for an employee or the like of the game hall where the pachinko game machine 1 is installed to know that the game of the pachinko game machine 1 is stopped. It's becoming In particular, when the game is stopped as described above, the security signal is output until the power of the pachinko game machine 1 is turned off. It is also possible to prevent the employee from overlooking it.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, in addition to the above-described game stop error, it is also possible to detect an error whose output priority of the security signal is lower than that of the game stop error, such as the start port 2 abnormal prize winning error. . Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12-29, when the startup entrance 2 abnormal prize winning error occurs, unlike the case where the MY counter value reaches 98194 or the game stop error occurs, the security signal continues for 4 minutes. output as That is, in this embodiment, the output period of the security signal differs between the case where a game stop error occurs and the case where an error which has a lower priority than the game stop error and does not stop the game occurs. An employee or the like of the game hall where the pachinko game machine 1 is installed can easily determine whether or not an error occurring in the pachinko game machine 1 is a game stop error by the output period of the security signal. , it is possible to take targeted measures against the error that has occurred.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and any changes or additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. be

For example, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12-58, when the MY counter value reaches 98194, the value of the winning ball counter is displayed as the first game stop effect, and then pachinko is displayed as the second game stop effect. Although the embodiment has been exemplified in which the display prompting to call the patrol staff of the game arcade where the game machine 1 is installed is shown, the present invention is not limited to this, and the modified example 055SG-1 is illustrated in FIGS. 12-60. As shown in (A) to FIG. 12-60 (C), when the MY counter value reaches 98194, after displaying the value of the prize ball counter as a game stop effect, in addition to the value of the prize ball counter A display urging to call an employee of the game hall where the pachinko game machine 1 is installed may be performed. By doing so, it is possible to make the player recognize the prize balls given until the game is stopped and to improve the game instructor, and at the same time, the game is stopped. By prompting the employee to call, the employee of the game parlor can easily take measures such as stopping power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 whose game has been stopped.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, a mode is exemplified in which a look-ahead notice effect (reserved display notice effect) that suggests to the player the ratio of being controlled to the big hit game state by the display mode of the reservation display can be executed, but the present invention is this. However, as shown in FIG. 12-61 (A) as a modification 005SG-2, the second special figure pending memory (game state is normal Suspended storage corresponding to the variable display of the second special symbol up to four times, which is executed after being controlled to the state, may be excluded from execution of the pre-reading notice effect.

In addition, in this way, if the second special figure pending memory after the 100th variable display in the time saving state and probability variable state is not subject to the execution of the prefetching notice effect, Figure 12-61 (A) ~ Figure 12-61 As shown in (C), if there is a holding memory in which the variable display result is a big hit in these second special drawing holding memories, the second special drawing after being controlled to the normal state in the production during the second design fixing period In the variable display based on the figure pending memory, the revival notification effect to notify that the variable display result will be a big hit (in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. ) may be made executable.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 12-61 (D), it is conceivable that there is a second special figure pending memory where the variable display result is a big hit even at the start timing of the game stop effect, but in this case, Since the game is stopped, the resurrection notification effect may not be executed while the game stop effect is being executed. In this way, by not executing the resurrection effect during execution of the game stop effect, it is possible to prevent the player's game instructor from being lowered due to not being controlled to the jackpot game state.

Further, in the above embodiment, the number display LED 21TM060 is installed on the top plate of the pachinko game machine 1, and the balance for borrowing game balls (the balance of the prepaid card) can be displayed on the number display LED 21TM060. Although exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be played in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as shown in FIGS. In a certain state (playable state), the balance for borrowing game balls (the balance of the prepaid card) is displayed on the frequency display LED 21TM060, while the game is stopped in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (game stop state). In this case, the point display LED 21TM060 may display a different display from the remaining money (the balance of the prepaid card) to indicate that the game has become unplayable. By doing so, in addition to the game stop effect on the image display device 5, the player can easily recognize whether or not the game of the pachinko game machine 1 is stopped by the display mode of the number display LED 21TM060. can be done.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the display monitor 21TM029 that can be viewed from the back side of the pachinko game machine 1 is provided, and the display monitor 21TM029 displays various winning information such as consecutive ratios and role ratios. The invention is not limited to this, and as a modification 005SG-4, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in a playable state (playable state), the display monitor 21TM029 displays various winning information such as consecutive ratios and role ratios. On the other hand, when the game is stopped in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (the game is in a stopped state), as shown in FIG. A display indicating that the game is disabled may be performed. By doing so, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 becomes unplayable, the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be played by visually recognizing the display monitor 21TM029 from the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 by an employee of the game hall or the like. It is possible to suitably confirm that it has become an impossible state.

Further, in the above embodiment, the connection confirmation signal is output from the pachinko game machine 1 (main board 11) to the payout control board 21TM037, and the payout control board 21TM037 is in the ON state of the PRDY signal and the BRDY signal. and BRQ signals are both ON state, by driving the payout motor 21TM289, thereby making it possible to rent a predetermined number of game balls, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, as a modification 005SG-5, when the game is stopped in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the output of the connection confirmation signal from the main board 11 may be stopped. When the output of the connection confirmation signal is stopped in this way, the output of the PRDY signal, the BRDY signal and the BRQ signal is also stopped. During the execution of , even if the player operates the ball lending switch 21TM062, the lending of new game balls (prize ball lending control process shown in FIG. 12-34) can be prevented from being executed.

In addition, in this modification, when the game is stopped in the pachinko game machine 1, by stopping the output of the connection confirmation signal from the main board 11, new game balls are lent out (prize balls shown in FIG. 12-34). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the pachinko game machine 1 stops playing, a connection confirmation signal is output from the main board 11. , the prepaid card may be returned to the player by operating the return switch 21TM063. By doing so, even if the game is stopped in the pachinko gaming machine 1, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of trouble such as the prepaid card not being returned to the player.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the game is stopped based on the MY counter value reaching 98194, after the pachinko game machine 1 is turned off, the clear switch 92 is operated and the pachinko game machine 1 is restarted. Although the form in which the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in a playable state by turning on the power (activating the pachinko gaming machine 1 by cold start) has been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the modification 005SG. As shown in FIGS. 12-65 (A) to 12-65 (D) as -6, when the game is stopped in the pachinko game machine 1, after the pachinko game machine 1 is turned off, the clear switch 92 Power is supplied to the pachinko game machine 1 again along with the operation (the pachinko game machine 1 is activated by cold start) to enable the pachinko game machine 1 to play, while the pachinko game machine 1 is powered off and then cleared. When the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned on again without operating the switch 92 (the pachinko gaming machine 1 is activated by hot start), the pachinko gaming machine 1 is still in a state where the game is stopped. The error notification prompting to turn on the power to the pachinko game machine 1 while operating the clear switch 92 may be performed by displaying an image on the image display device 5 or outputting sound from the speakers 8L and 8R. By doing so, it is possible to make the teacher or the like of the game hall where the pachinko game machine 1 is installed recognize that the game is stopped when the pachinko game machine 1 is turned on by the error notification. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the pachinko game machine 1 is left in a state where the game is stopped after the power is turned on.

In addition, since it is an abnormal state when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started in the game stop state, as the above-described error notification, during the game (normal state, time saving state, variable probability state, jackpot game state) and in the game stop effect The error notification sound may be output from the speakers 8L and 8R at a louder volume than the output sound.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a form was exemplified in which it is possible to determine whether or not the variable display result will be a big hit at a rate of 1 according to the game state, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be modified. As shown in FIG. 12-65 as example 005SGS-7, for example, it is possible to set a plurality of setting values by operating a specific setting means, and depending on which setting value is set, the variable display result is a big hit. Different ratios may be used. When any setting value is set in the pachinko game machine 1 in this way, the power of the pachinko game machine 1 is turned off, and the power of the pachinko game machine 1 is turned on again while operating the clear switch 92. By (cold-starting), the set values may be reflected.

In addition, in this way, in the case of changing the ratio of control to the jackpot game state according to the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the CPU 103 changes the setting value when accepting the change of the setting value. A setting change state notification command for notifying the changeable set value changeable state to the effect control board 12 is output, and the effect control board 12 (effect control CPU 120) receives the setting change state notification command. Based on what has been done, it may be possible to execute an effect for notifying that the setting value can be changed. Furthermore, the CPU 103 may output a security signal from the information output circuit 112 to stop the game of the pachinko gaming machine 1 together with the output of the setting change state notification command. The output period of the security signal may be different from the output period of the security signal based on the MY counter value reaching 98194 or the output period of the security signal at the time of other error detection (for example, FIG. 12). -5 seconds after the set value can be changed as shown in 67 (C)). By doing so, when the game in the pachinko game machine 1 is stopped, the stop of the game causes a specific error, the MY counter value reaches 98194, and the set value can be changed. Since it is possible to determine from the outside of the pachinko game machine 1 which of the above is the cause, the game stop based on the fact that the set value can be changed, the MY counter value reaches 98194. It is possible to prevent erroneous recognition of game stop due to detection of an error or other errors.

In addition, in this modified example, the game in the pachinko game machine 1 is stopped by putting the pachinko game machine 1 in the setting value changeable state (the game is stopped), but the present invention is applied to this. The pachinko machine 1 is not limited to this, and in addition to the setting value changeable state, it is possible to enter a setting confirmation state in which the set values can be confirmed by an employee of the game hall. good too.

Further, in the above-described embodiment and this modified example, the mode of stopping the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 due to the occurrence of magnet error or radio wave error has been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the setting value confirmation state described above, since it is assumed that the game hall employee will come close to the pachinko game machine 1 and confirm the setting value, the game such as the magnetic sensor 005SG060 and the radio wave sensor 005SG070 A sensor for detecting a stop error may be disabled to prevent the pachinko gaming machine 1 from entering a game stop state due to malfunction of sensors such as the magnetic sensor 005SG060 and radio wave sensor 005SG070.

In addition, in this modification, by setting the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the setting value confirmation state, the configuration in which the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be confirmed was exemplified, but the present invention is limited to this. However, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the game stop state, the pachinko gaming machine 1 may not shift to the setting value confirmation state.

In addition, in this modified example, the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 can be changed by putting the pachinko game machine 1 in the setting value changeable state, but the present invention is limited to this. Even if the pachinko game machine 1 is controlled to be in a game stop state, the pachinko game machine 1 is put in a setting value changeable state, and the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 may be changeable. In this case, by cold-starting the pachinko game machine 1, the pachinko game machine 1 naturally becomes capable of playing a game, and at the same time, it becomes controllable to a jackpot game state with a probability according to a set value.

In addition, in the above embodiment, when the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the gaming state is the time saving state or the variable probability state, the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is immediately stopped. The invention is not limited to this, and when the MY counter value reaches 98194 when the game state is the time saving state or the probability variable state, the game state is normal state controlled, or the next big hit game The game in the pachinko game machine 1 may be stopped after the end.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, even if the MY counter value has reached a value close to 98194 (for example, 98000), the game can be continued if the MY counter value has not reached 98194 during the jackpot game. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the MY counter value is in the vicinity of 98194 as described above and the control is made to the big win game state, the MY counter value reaches 98194 at the end of the big win game. The game in the pachinko game machine 1 may be stopped even if it is not. By doing so, for example, by not daring to hit a game ball in a big win game with a small number of rounds such as a big win B, until a big win game with a large number of rounds such as a big win C is executed. It is possible to prevent attacking strikes such as delaying the stoppage of the game of the pachinko game machine 1. - 特許庁

Further, in the above-described embodiment, after the end of the jackpot game state, the ending effect is executed for 20 seconds regardless of the jackpot type, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the execution period of the ending effect. may differ according to the jackpot type. Also, in this way, even if the execution period of the ending effect differs depending on the jackpot type, if the MY counter value reaches 98194 during the jackpot game, a certain period after each jackpot game ends (for example, The value of the winning ball counter may be displayed as the first game stop effect for a uniform period of 15 seconds.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the image display device 5 displays the right-handed promotion display in the continuous game state including the jackpot game state, the time saving state, and the variable probability state, but the present invention is limited to this. However, in the continuous state, in addition to or instead of the right-handed promotion display, an LED (right-handed lamp) is lit to prompt the player to hit the game ball toward the right game area 2R. By doing so, the player may easily understand that the continuous game state is a game state in which a game ball is shot toward the right game area 2R. It is sufficient that the right-handed lamp is always lit in the same state as the display period of the right-handed promotion display.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the MY counter value reaches 98194 in the time saving state or the variable probability state, the game stop effect is started and the right-handed promotion display is hidden. When both the display of the right-handed promotion display and the lighting of the right-handed lamp can be executed in the continuous state, the game is stopped in the pachinko game machine 1, that is, the game ball is directed to the right game area 2R Since the game is not in a game state where the player hits the ball, the right-hand hitting promotion display may be hidden and the right-hand hitting lamp may be extinguished. Based on this, the display of the right hitting promotion display and the lighting of the right hitting lamp may be continued. Furthermore, when the MY counter value reaches 98194, the CPU 103 clears the time saving flag and probability variation flag, and based on these time saving flag and probability variation flag being cleared, the right hitting promotion display is hidden and the right You may turn off the lamp.

Further, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 12-57 and 12-58, when the MY counter value reaches 98194, the second game stop effect is to prompt not to forget to take the prepaid card, is exemplified by displaying a prompt to call an employee of the game hall set in the pachinko game machine 1 due to the stoppage of the pachinko game machine 1, but the present invention is not limited to this. As the 2-game stop effect, similar to the ending effect, it is possible to display a message urging the player not to forget to take out the prepaid card and a message urging the player to prevent the player from becoming absorbed in the game. By doing so, at least a part of the data for executing the second game stop performance and the data for executing the ending performance can be shared, so that the manufacturing cost of the pachinko game machine 1 is suppressed. be able to.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the MY counter value reaches 98194, the first special symbol display device 4A, the second special symbol display device 4B, the normal symbol display device 20, the first reservation display device 25A, the second reservation display Although the form in which the player is notified that the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 has been stopped by turning off all the device 25B and the normal pattern holding display device 25C, the present invention is not limited to this. Without, when the MY counter value reaches 98194, the first special symbol display device 4A, the second special symbol display device 4B, the normal symbol display device 20, the first reservation display device 25A, the second reservation display device 25B, the general The player may be informed that the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 has been stopped by turning on all of the figure holding display devices 25C.

Further, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 12 to 17, when the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped, the CPU 103 becomes incapable of executing winning information processing. When the game is stopped, the calculation of the role ratio and the consecutive ratio cannot be executed at the timing of stopping the game. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and even if the game of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped while the prize balls are being paid out, the winning information by the CPU 103 It is also possible to enable the execution of the process and reduce the error between the continuous ratio/role ratio displayed on the display monitor 21TM029 and the actual continuous ratio/role ratio.

In addition, in the present embodiment, by turning on the pachinko game machine 1, the performance control CPU 120 drives the movable body 32 to return it to the initial position, and controls the initial state of the movable body 32 such as control to confirm a predetermined operation. Although the mode of performing the action (performing the initial action control process) has been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this. When the pachinko game machine 1 is turned off once and the power is turned on again without operating the clear switch 92, the pachinko game machine 1 is started while the game is stopped, so the effect control CPU 120 may not execute the above initial operation control process, or may execute only a part of the initial operation control process.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the MY counter value reaches 98194, the CPU 103 executes the game stop processing to transmit the game stop notification command only once. However, in consideration of the case where the game stop notification command is not normally received on the effect control board 12 side, the game stop notification command is issued multiple times, or each time the CPU 103 executes the game stop process You may send. By doing so, the game stop notification command can be reliably received on the effect control board 12 side.
It is possible to prevent the occurrence of trouble such as the game stop performance not being executed even though the game is stopped.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the counter for counting the difference between the number of awarded balls paid out and the number of out balls in the pachinko machine 1 (the number of net increase balls), is the initial value even if the out switch 26 is turned on. Although the mode of determining whether or not the pachinko gaming machine 1 is to be put into a game stop state is exemplified by the MY counter value that never becomes a numerical value lower than 0, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, pachinko. A counter that counts the difference between the number of awarded balls paid out in the gaming machine 1 and the number of out balls (the number of net increased balls), and becomes a numerical value lower than the initial value each time the out switch 26 is turned on ( It may be determined whether or not the pachinko gaming machine 1 is to be in a game stop state by a so-called differential ball counter.

Incidentally, when determining whether or not the pachinko gaming machine 1 is to be in the game stop state by the MY counter of this embodiment, the value of the counter never becomes a numerical value lower than the initial value, so the jackpot game state is determined. Except, when the counter value reaches 98194, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the game stop state, that is, the number of prize balls that the player can obtain is "98194" as the upper limit.

On the other hand, when determining whether or not to put the pachinko gaming machine 1 into the game stop state with the difference ball counter, the value of the counter may be lower than the initial value. is lower than the initial value, in addition to the upper limit value of "98194", the player receives a prize of the difference in the initial value from the time of control to the continuous state. You can get the ball.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, even if the game state is the normal state, the time saving state, or the probability variable state, the game is stopped when the MY counter value reaches 98194, but the present invention is The MY counter value for stopping the game may differ depending on the game state. For example, when the game state is the normal state, the game is stopped when the MY counter value reaches 98194, while when the game state is the time saving state or the variable probability state, the MY counter value is a 10 round big hit. The game may be stopped by reaching 96398, which is a value that does not reach 100000 even if is executed twice. In particular, as described above, if the game state is a time-saving state or a variable probability state that makes it easier to win the 10 round jackpot than the friendship state, the determination value of the MY counter for stopping the game is set to MY for stopping the game in the normal state. By making it smaller than the judgment value (98194) of the counter, it is possible to reduce the risk that the player will get too many prize balls before the game is stopped.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the present invention is applied to the pachinko gaming machine 1 which is controlled to the probability variable state after the end of the jackpot game by detecting the game ball by the second count switch 24 during the jackpot game. However, the present invention is not limited to this. A pachinko game machine that is controlled to a jackpot game state by passing through the area of , or a pachinko game in which the probability change state continues until the next jackpot game state is controlled when the jackpot game state is controlled to the variable probability state after the end of the jackpot game. The present invention may be applied to a machine or the like.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a spherical game ball (pachinko ball) is used as an example of the game medium, but the game medium is not limited to a spherical game medium. It may be a medium.

Further, in the above embodiment, a pachinko gaming machine is used as an example of a gaming machine. In addition, one game is completed by deriving a variable display result to a variable display device capable of variable display of a plurality of types of individually identifiable symbols, and according to the variable display result derived to the variable display device.
