Although configured as a circuit, it can be configured such that bidirectional communication is also possible.

  Processing executed by an 8-bit one-chip microcomputer (hereinafter simply referred to as “microcomputer”) in the main control board 30 of the pachinko machine 10 having the circuit configuration described above will be described according to a flowchart shown in FIG.

  The flowchart shown in FIG. 5 represents a main process executed by the microcomputer of the main control board 30, and is a process periodically executed by a hardware interrupt about every 2 ms. Each process from step S100 to S200 is a process that is executed only once in the interrupt process and is referred to as “main process”, and is repeatedly executed as long as time permits within the remaining time after executing this main process. The processing of S210 and S220 is referred to as “residual processing”.

  When a hardware interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether or not the interrupt is a normal interrupt (step S100). This determination process is performed by determining whether or not the value of a predetermined area of the RAM as a memory is a predetermined value. When the process executed by the microcomputer shifts to this process, the normal process is executed. It is for judging whether or not it is okay.

  If it is determined that the interrupt is not normal (step S100: NO), a predetermined value is written to the predetermined area of the memory, and initial values are written to the work area of the memory such as a special symbol and a normal symbol as an initial symbol. That is, initialization is performed (step S110), and the process proceeds to residual processing.

  If an affirmative determination is made with a normal interrupt (step S100: YES), first, an initial random number update process is executed (step S120). This process is an increment process in which the value of the initial random number is incremented by +1 every time this process is executed. The value of the initial random number before execution of this process is set to +1, but the random number value before this process is executed is the maximum. When the value is “329”, it returns to the initial value “0” in the next processing, and 330 integers from “0” to “329” are repeatedly generated in ascending order.

  The success / failure random number update process (step S130) following step S120 is an increment process that is incremented by +1 each time the process is executed, similar to the initial random number update process.

  The jackpot symbol random number update process (step S140) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 15 integers from “0” to “14”, and is incremented by +1 for each process, and the initial value is “0”. Return to. Each of the 15 random numbers “0” to “14” is “111”, “222”, “333”, “444”, “555”, “666”, “ 777 ”,“ 888 ”,“ 999 ”, [AAA”, “BBB”, “CCC”, “DDD”, “EEE”, “FFF”, respectively.

  The off symbol random number update process (step S150) is composed of a random symbol for the left symbol, a random number for the middle symbol, and a random number for the right symbol, and is used as a miss symbol when it is not a big hit. The left symbol random number is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 15 integers “0” to “14”, and is incremented by +1 for each processing, and returns to the initial value “0” when the maximum value is exceeded. The middle symbol random number is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 15 integers from “0” to “14”, and when the left symbol random number returns to “0”, it is incremented by +1 for each processing and exceeds the maximum value. And return to “0”. The right design random number is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 15 integers from “0” to “14”, and when the medium design random number returns to “0”, it is incremented by 1 every time this process is exceeded. And return to “0”.

  The normal symbol random number update process (step S160) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates seven integers “0” to “6”. The counter value is incremented by +1 for each process, and an initial value “0” is exceeded. Return to.

The initial random number, the pass / fail random number, the jackpot symbol random number, the off symbol random number, and the normal symbol random number are respectively updated by each of the random number update processing (steps S120 to S160) described above. The input processing of each switch connected to the main control board 30 is executed. The full tank switch 43, the replenishment switch 44, the touch switch 24a, the first special symbol operation switch 52d, the second special symbol operation switch 55d, the normal symbol operation switch 38a, the prize ball payout switch 29a, the count switch 64, and the V switch 65. Then, a process of checking the operating status of each switch such as each winning detection switch (not shown) provided in the other winning openings 71 to 74 is executed.
When there is an input to the first special symbol operation switch 52d and the second special symbol operation switch 55d by this input process (step S170), the game ball wins the ordinary electric accessory 53 or 56 as the special symbol operation port. The value of the success / failure random number at the time of this interrupt processing is extracted and compared with the success / failure determination value (step S180).

  The pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured as a probability variation machine, and the success / failure determination value is “1” at the normal probability, and “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “ 9 ”and“ 11 ”. The probability that the extracted success / failure random number value matches the success / failure determination value and becomes a big hit is 1/330 at the normal probability, and 1/55 (= 6/330) at the high probability. The probability that the jackpot is generated shifts from the low probability state to the high probability state because the jackpot symbol in the interrupt processing when the jackpot occurs is “111”, “333”, “555”, “777”, “999”, In the case of “BBB” and “DDD”, a high probability is transferred with a probability of 7/15 when a jackpot is generated. If the jackpot symbol when the jackpot is generated again during the high probability is the high probability symbol, the higher probability state continues.

  When the above-described determination processing (step S180) shown in FIG. 5 is completed, an image output process (step S190) is subsequently executed.

  This image output process (step S190) will be described in detail using the following Table 1. The command codes shown in Table 1 are codes transmitted from the main control board 30 to the symbol control board 50 of the symbol display devices 52 and 55. As shown in Table 1, the transmission command codes of the main control board 30 and the symbol control board 50 are 1. 1. When power is turned on 2. Demonstration waiting for customers. 3. During design fluctuation. 4. At the start of jackpot During the big hit, 6. 6. At the end of jackpot It can be roughly divided into 7 types when operation is abnormal.

1. When the power is turned on, the command when the power is turned on is a command code transmitted from the main control board 30 to the symbol control board 50 when the pachinko machine 10 is turned on. The operation code of 10H and the identification number of 0H are 2 bytes. It consists of instructions. When the symbol control board 50 receives this command, a demonstration screen at power-on is displayed on the screen of the special symbol display devices 52 and 55 according to the control program written in the ROM.

2. Customer Waiting Demo A customer waiting demo command is sent after the demo screen when the power is turned on or when it is determined that the player has not touched the firing handle 24 for a predetermined time (usually about 3 minutes). It is a command and is composed of a 2-byte instruction having an operation number of 20H and an identification number of 01H. When the symbol control board 50 receives this command, a demonstration screen waiting for the customer is displayed on the screen of the symbol display devices 52 and 55 according to the control program written in the ROM. For example, all the special symbol variation patterns variably displayed on the special symbol display area are sequentially displayed. At this time, a background image and a character corresponding to each variation pattern are displayed on the background screen. This waiting-for-customer demonstration screen displays all the variation patterns in order until the player operates the firing handle 24, and then repeatedly displays them. Note that whether or not the player is touching the firing handle 24 can be detected by the input of the touch switch 24a. In this embodiment, since the input of the touch switch 24a is input to the main control board 30, the detection is performed while the communication between the main control board 30 and the launch control board 33 is one-way communication from the main control board 30. Is possible. Of course, on / off information of the touch switch 24 a is transmitted from the main control board 30 to the launch control board 33. The input of the touch switch 24a is configured to be input to the launch control board 33, and there is no winning for a predetermined time in any or all winning openings, or a switch is provided in the out opening 41 on the game board 22, and this switch is A configuration may be adopted in which it is determined that the player is not playing a game by not turning it on for a predetermined time.

3. The symbol changing command is a command transmitted from the main control board 30 to the symbol control board 50 at the time of a special symbol change. As shown in Table 1, (1) variable time code, (2) left stationary symbol designation code , (3) middle stationary symbol designation code, and (4) right stationary symbol designation code (hereinafter, these four command codes may be collectively referred to as “image display commands”). Is done.

(1) Fluctuating time code Fluctuating time codes are configured as 30 types of 2-byte instructions consisting of 30-byte 1-byte instructions as operation numbers and 30 types of 1-byte instructions as identification numbers from 01H to 1EH. Thirty types of 1-byte instructions represent 30 types of time from 5 seconds to 35 seconds in units of 1 second.

(2) Left stationary symbol designation code The left stationary symbol designation code is an instruction code consisting of an operation number of 31H and 15 types of identification numbers from 01H to 0FH. When the identification number is 01H, the left stationary symbol designation code is “0”. "1" for 02H, "2" for 03H, "3" for 04H, "4" for 05H, "5" for 06H, "6" for 07H, “7” for 08H, “8” for 09H, “9” for 0AH, “A” for 0BH, “B” for 0CH, “C” for 0DH, 0EH When “D” is selected, the character “E” is displayed as a special symbol in the special symbol display area.

(3) Medium stationary symbol designation code The middle stationary symbol designation code is an instruction code consisting of 32H operation number and 15 types of identification numbers from 01H to 0FH. The identification number is the identification number of the left stationary symbol designation code. The characters having the same meaning are displayed in the special symbol display area as special symbols.

(4) Right stationary symbol designation code The right stationary symbol designation code is an instruction code consisting of an operation number of 33H and 15 types of identification numbers from 01H to 0FH. The identification number is an identification number of the left stationary symbol designation code. The characters having the same meaning are displayed in the special symbol display area as special symbols.

  This variable time code, left, middle and right stationary symbol designation codes are transmitted almost simultaneously by two bytes when the game ball launched on the game board 22 wins the ordinary electric actors 53 and 56 as the special symbol operating port. The command code is determined as follows.

  In other words, when the game ball wins the ordinary electric combination 53, 56, the value of the success / failure random number, the value of the jackpot symbol random number, the value of the off symbol random number, and the value of the regular symbol random number are extracted. The extracted success / failure random value is compared with the success / failure determination value “1” at the normal probability, and the success / failure determination values “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “9”, and “11” at the high probability. If it matches, a big hit will be generated, otherwise it will be missed. When a big hit occurs, the extracted big hit symbol random number value is set to +1, and this value is used as the identification number of the left, middle and right stationary symbol designation codes. That is, the identification numbers of the left, middle and right stationary symbol designation codes are the same. When they do not match and become out of order, the extracted design random number random number value for the left symbol, the random number value for the middle symbol, and the random number value for the right symbol are set to +1, respectively. This is the identification number of the right stationary design designation code. At this time, if the three identification numbers coincide by chance, a process is performed in which the identification number value of the right stationary symbol designation code is set to a value different by “1”. The above-mentioned variable time code is a large value when the identification numbers of the left, middle and right stationary symbol designation codes all match, and is an intermediate value when the identification numbers of the left and middle stationary symbol designation codes do not match. If they do not match at all, they are sorted into smaller values.

  A process performed by the symbol control board 50 when an image display command including these four command codes is received will be described. The “normal display routine” is a process used for image processing when the identification numbers of the transmitted left, middle and right stationary designating codes do not all match, that is, when no big hit is generated. When the microcomputer of the symbol control board 50 receives the image display command, a special symbol variation pattern is generated from the received variation time and the identification numbers of the left, middle and right stationary symbol designation codes. In the ROM of the symbol control board 50, as shown in Table 2 below, a table corresponding to each value combination of received image display commands is written. The microcomputer of the symbol control board 50 reads the table written in the ROM from the received image display command and creates a special symbol variation pattern. This variation pattern is created as follows.

  The microcomputer of the symbol control board 50 determines whether or not the identification numbers of the left and middle match from the identification numbers of the received left, middle and right stationary symbol designation codes (that is, whether or not it is reach). It is judged whether it is a normal fluctuation or a reach fluctuation, and it is further judged whether or not the trick fluctuation occurs depending on whether the fluctuation time value is larger or smaller than the predetermined value even in the reach fluctuation. Each time from the start of the change of the left, middle and right symbols of the symbol until it stops is determined. In accordance with the created special symbol variation pattern, display data of the background and characters displayed on the background screen is also created. When the variation pattern is created in this way, the variation display processing for starting the variation of each of the left, middle and right special symbols according to the variation pattern and confirming the display with the designated still symbol is executed, and the display control of the background and the character is performed. Is also executed.

4). At the time of big hit The command code at the time of big hit starts that a big hit has occurred after the left, middle and right special symbols displayed in the special symbol display area display the same symbol until the big hit operation starts. This command is used to display an image that appeals to the player, and is composed of an operation number of 40H and an identification number of 01H. When the symbol control board 50 receives this command code, characters such as “big hit” are displayed on the screens of the special symbol display devices 52 and 55 to display an image that the character is pleased with, and a sound effect is output from the sound control board 35. Processing is done.

5. Big hit Medium hit big hit commands are classified into five commands: pre-open code, open code, 10-count winning code, V pass code, and round display code.
(1) The pre-opening code is composed of an operation number of 50H and an identification number of 01H. When the symbol control board 50 inputs this command code, an image that informs the player that the big prize opening 39 will be opened is displayed on the background screen. Execute the process displayed on the screen.

  (2) The open code is composed of an operation number of 50H and an identification number of 02H. When the symbol control board 50 inputs this command code, an image that informs the player that the special winning opening 39 is open is displayed. Execute the process to be displayed.

  (3) The 10-count winning code is composed of an operation number of 50H and an identification number of 03H, and the main control board 30 detects that a game ball has won the big winning opening 39 by the count switch 64 or the V switch 65. Send this instruction code to When the symbol control board 50 inputs this command code, the value is incremented each time it is input, and the value is displayed on the background screen. Thereby, on the screen, a number of 0 to 10 is displayed every time a game ball wins the big winning opening 39.

  (4) The V passing code is composed of an operation number of 50H and an identification number of 04H. When the main control board 30 detects that the game ball has passed through a special area in the big prize opening 39, this command is issued. Send the code. When the symbol control board 50 inputs this command code, the character “V” is displayed large on the screen to inform the player that the special winning opening 39 is closed and then opened again.

  (5) The round display code is composed of an operation number of 50H and an identification number of 05H, and the main control board 30 transmits this instruction code every time the special winning opening 39 is opened again after the opening operation is completed. When the symbol control board 50 inputs this command code, the value is incremented each time it is input, and the value is displayed on the background screen. As a result, the player is notified of the number of times the special winning opening 39 is opened.

6). End of jackpot The jackpot end command consists of a jackpot end demo command code and a high probability transition command code.

  The jackpot end demo command code is an instruction code transmitted when the jackpot operation is ended, that is, when the opening operation of the big winning opening 39 is ended, and is composed of an operation number of 60H and an identification number of 01H. When the symbol control board 50 inputs this command code, a message is displayed informing the player that the big hit has ended.

  The high probability transition command code is composed of an operation number of 61H and identification numbers of 01H to 02H. When the identification number is 01H, the high probability state is continued, and when the identification number is 02H, the high probability is not continued. The high probability transition command code may be transmitted from the main control board 30 or may be determined by the symbol control board 50 from the value of the image display command described above.

7). When abnormal operation The abnormal operation command is an instruction command that is transmitted when an abnormality occurs in the pachinko machine 10, and in this embodiment, from the E1 error code of 70H01H, the E2 error code of 70H02H, and the E3 error code of 70H03H It is configured. The E1 error code is a ten-count abnormality error, and is output when no game ball is detected when the special winning opening 39 is opened. The E2 error code is on when the lower plate 23 is full and the full switch 24a is turned on. The E3 error code is output when the supply switch 44 is turned on. The error message displayed by sending these abnormal time commands is deleted by the error release code of 70H04H that is sent when the abnormality is released.

  In each subsequent output process (step S200), the main control board 30 is arranged such that the first special symbol display device 52, the second special symbol display device 55, the prize ball control board 31, the launch control board 33, the lamp according to the progress of the game. Output processing is executed for each of the various solenoids such as the control board 34, the sound control board 35, and the blade solenoids 61a and 62a. In other words, when it is detected by the respective input processes (step S170) that each winning slot on the game board 22 has a winning ball, the winning ball data is sent to the winning ball control board 31 so as to pay out the winning ball. An error signal is output to the symbol control board 50 to notify the fact that an error is occurring when the pachinko machine 10 is abnormal in the process of outputting the sound data corresponding to the gaming state to the sound control board 35. The processing is further executed when a jackpot occurs, such as a jackpot processing.

The remaining process following the above-described process is composed of an outlier symbol random number update process (step S210) and an initial random number update process (step S220), which are substantially the same processes as the above-described steps S150 and S120, respectively. These two processes form an infinite loop and are repeatedly executed as long as time is allowed until the next interrupt is executed.
The time required to execute the main processing from steps S100 to S200 described above differs for each interrupt depending on whether or not to execute the big hit processing, the difference in display mode of special symbols, and the like. As a result, the number of times the remaining process is executed is different for each interrupt, and the interrupted process shown in FIG. 5 is executed once, and the values to be updated (added) of the symbol random number and the initial random number are uniform. Disappear. As a result, there is no possibility that the initial random number and the off-design random number are synchronized with the failure random number. In the first embodiment, since the update of the random number is changed according to the value of the initial random number, there is no possibility of synchronization. The normal symbol random number update process (step S160) described above may also be executed in the remaining process.

The flowchart shown in FIG. 6 represents the changing time changing process executed by the microcomputer of the main control board 30, and is a process periodically executed by a hardware interrupt about every 2 ms.
This variation time change process is a variation in which one or both of the gaming devices 51 and 54 have won a random number value that is won, and the one that is not won or the special symbol is displayed later. Change the time. When the process is started, it is determined whether or not the first gaming device 51 has been won or there is a pending storage (S300). If a negative determination is made here, return is returned, and if an affirmative determination is made, it is determined whether or not the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 has started to change (whether or not the special symbol is changing) (S310). If a negative determination is made here, return is returned, and if an affirmative determination is made, the change time of the change pattern drawn by winning at the second symbol start port 56 is referred (S320), and the change of the special symbol of the first symbol display device 52 is started. (S330), it is determined whether or not the special symbol of the first symbol display device 52 is fixedly displayed before the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 (S340). If an affirmative determination is made here, return is returned, and if a negative determination is made, it is determined whether or not the second gaming device 54 has been won (S350). If the determination is negative, the process returns to the return. If the determination is affirmative, the variation time of the special symbol of the first symbol display device 52 is shortened and the process returns.

The flowchart shown in FIG. 7 represents a special symbol variation start delay process executed by the microcomputer of the main control board 30, and is a process periodically executed by a hardware interrupt about every 2 ms.
In this special symbol variation start delay process, when the variation time of either one of the gaming devices 51 or 54 is changed and the variation is stopped, the next variation is continued until the big hit gaming operation of the other gaming device is completed. It doesn't start. When the process is started, it is determined whether or not the variation time of the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 has been shortened (S400). If a negative determination is made here, return is returned, and if an affirmative determination is made, it is determined whether or not the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 has been finalized (S410). If a negative determination is made here, the process of step S410 is repeated until a definite display is made, and if an affirmative determination is made, it is determined whether or not there is a holding storage of the second symbol operation port 56 or whether the second symbol operation port 56 has won a prize ( S420). If a negative determination is made here, return is returned, and if an affirmative determination is made, the change start of the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 is delayed (S430), and it is determined whether or not the special symbol of the first symbol display device 52 has been confirmed and displayed. (S440). If a negative determination is made here, the process of step S440 is repeated until a confirmation display is made, and if a positive determination is made, the big hit game of the first gaming device 51 is started (S450), and it is determined whether or not the big hit game of the first gaming device 51 has ended. (S460). If a negative determination is made here, the process of step S460 is repeated until the big hit game is completed, and if an affirmative determination is made, the special symbol variation start delay process of the second symbol display device 55 is canceled (S470), and the process returns.

Next, main operations of the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment by executing the above-described processes will be described.
(First game)
A game ball is launched onto the game board 22 by the launch motor 33a in accordance with the amount of rotation of the launch handle 24 operated by the player, and the fired game ball serves as a special symbol starting port for the first gaming device 51. If the winning combination 53 is won, it is detected by the first special symbol operation switch 52d, and the special symbol is variably displayed in the special symbol display area on the LCD 52a screen of the first symbol display device 52 so as to be fixedly displayed. A command related to a special symbol is transmitted from the main control board 30 to the symbol control board 50, and image control is executed on the symbol control board 50 so as to display an image such as a special symbol or a background symbol on the LCD 52a screen. As for the special symbol, the left symbol is first determined and displayed, then the right symbol is fixed and displayed. If the right symbol and the left symbol do not match, the detachment is fixed, and then the middle symbol is fixed and displayed. When the right symbol and the left symbol coincide with each other (for example, 7-7), the reach is reached, and the fixed symbol is displayed after the middle symbol fluctuates. When the fixedly displayed middle symbol does not match the right and left symbols, the reach is lost (for example, 727). On the other hand, if the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is a specific symbol that has been determined in advance, for example, if all the special symbols match after the reach (three-digit identical symbol such as “777”), then a big hit state is displayed. Provide game contents advantageous to the player.

  Whether or not the big hit state is reached is determined by whether or not the value of the winning / decision determining random number extracted when the game ball is detected by the first special symbol operation switch 52d by the main control board 30 is a predetermined value. Further, whether or not to reach is determined by the main control board 30 depending on whether or not the value of the reach determination random number is a determination value.

  When the big win state is reached, the grand prize opening 39 is opened for about 30 seconds or until 10 seconds when it is detected by the count switch 64 that 10 game balls have been won. When the V switch 65 detects that the game ball has passed through the special area, the special winning opening 39 is once closed and then opened again, and this opening operation is repeated up to 16 times. Normally, 15 game balls are paid out as winning balls for one winning game ball, so when one big hit state occurs, about 2400 (= 15 × 10 × 16) A game ball can be obtained as a prize ball.

(Second game)
Similar to the first game, a game ball is launched onto the game board 22 by the launch motor 33a in accordance with the amount of rotation of the launch handle 24 operated by the player, and the launched game ball is a special symbol of the second game device 54. If a prize is awarded to the ordinary electric accessory 56 as a starting port, it is detected by the second special symbol operation switch 55d, and is confirmed after the special symbol is fluctuated and displayed in the special symbol display area on the LCD 55a screen of the second symbol display device 55 for a predetermined time. Work to display. A command related to a special symbol is transmitted from the main control board 30 to the symbol control board 50, and image control is executed on the symbol control board 50 so as to display an image such as a special symbol or a background symbol on the LCD 55a screen. As for the special symbol, the left symbol is first determined and displayed, then the right symbol is fixed and displayed. If the right symbol and the left symbol do not match, the detachment is fixed, and then the middle symbol is fixed and displayed. When the right symbol and the left symbol coincide with each other (for example, 7-7), the reach is reached, and the fixed symbol is displayed after the middle symbol fluctuates. When the fixedly displayed middle symbol does not match the right and left symbols, the reach is lost (for example, 727). On the other hand, if the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is a specific symbol that has been determined in advance, for example, if all the special symbols match after the reach (three-digit identical symbol such as “777”), then a big hit state is displayed. Provide game contents advantageous to the player.

Whether or not the big hit state is reached is determined by whether or not the value of the success / failure random number extracted when the game ball is detected by the second special symbol operation switch 55d by the main control board 30 is a predetermined value. Further, whether or not to reach is determined by the main control board 30 depending on whether or not the value of the reach determination random number is a determination value.
The operation of the big prize opening 39 when the big hit state is reached is the same as that of the first gaming device 51 described above. Note that the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment has a configuration having the big prize opening 39, but may have a configuration in which a big prize opening is provided in each of the gaming devices 51 or 54.

  As described above, the pachinko machine 10 including the first gaming device 51 and the second gaming device 54 is a gaming machine in which the first game and the second game can be enjoyed simultaneously by one gaming machine. The characteristic configuration will be described. Note that the variation time change process and the variation start delay process exhibit characteristic control when one or both of the gaming devices 51 and 54 acquires a winning random number or is in a big hit game.

  FIG. 8 to FIG. 10 explain the fluctuation status of the gaming devices 51 and 54 and the contents of the fluctuation change with respect to the fluctuation status in the fluctuation time change processing and special symbol fluctuation start delay processing executed by the main control board 30 described above. FIG. In FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, the hatched portion is the special symbol variation in the symbol display device of the gaming device whose variation time is changed.

FIG. 8 shows the processing when either one of the gaming devices 51 or 54 acquires the winning random number.
As shown in FIGS. 8 (a) to 8 (c), when the first gaming device 51 that finishes the variation of the special symbol first (the special symbol is determined first) has obtained a winning random number, the variation of the special symbol is later performed. The change time of the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 that ends (the special symbol is determined later) is changed. As a change content in this case, a suitable stop timing changes depending on the ball entry timing of one (first gaming device 51) and the other (second gaming device 54) that have acquired the winning random number.
First, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), when the first gaming device 51 acquires the winning random number and wins the second symbol start port 53 at substantially the same time (a period not yet reached reach), The predetermined variation time of the special symbol of the symbol display device 55 is changed, and the first game device 51 is stopped and confirmed before reaching occurs.
Thereby, the second game does not interfere with the reach effect by acquiring the winning random number of the first gaming device 51, so that the player can concentrate on the effect of the first game.

As shown in FIG. 8 (b), when the first gaming device 51 that has finished changing first has been developed into a reach (a period in which reach has been started but not yet confirmed), the second symbol is started. When winning a prize in the mouth 53, the predetermined variation time of the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 is changed, and the special symbol of the first symbol display device 52 of the first gaming device 51 in which the random number is won is selected. Is confirmed and displayed, the change of the special symbol of the second symbol display device 52 is displayed.
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 8 (c), the special symbol of the second symbol display device 52 is displayed during the interval during which the elected first gaming device 51 reaches the jackpot game after the special symbol is confirmed and displayed. Stops the change and displays it.
As a result, if the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 remains in the normal variation time, the first gaming device 51 starts a big hit game, and the variation of the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 becomes invalid. Can be prevented.
Note that if the special symbol of the second gaming device 54 is forcibly stopped before the special symbol of the first gaming device 51 is determined, the player may not be aware that the special symbol of the second gaming device 54 has changed. The ability to recognize the special symbol of the first gaming device 51 is stopped and confirmed, and is stopped during the interval until the big hit game is started.

Further, in FIGS. 8A to 8C, while the first gaming device 51 is playing a big hit game, the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 is changed in accordance with winning in the second symbol starting port 56. Delay start. This allows the player to concentrate on the big hit game.

FIG. 9 shows the processing when both gaming devices 51 and 54 have obtained winning random numbers.
As shown in FIG. 9A, when the first gaming device 51 obtains a winning random number and a game ball wins the second symbol start opening 53 at substantially the same time period (a period not yet reached), During the interval from when the special symbol of the first symbol display device 52 that stops the fluctuation is confirmed and displayed until the big hit game is started, the fluctuation of the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 is stopped. Confirm display. Then, after the special symbol is fixedly displayed, the start of the big hit game of the second gaming device 54 is delayed, and a state of waiting for the big hit game of the first gaming device 51 to end is set. In other words, control for delaying the start of the big hit game of the second gaming device 54 is performed.
As a result, the winning of the first game is terminated, and at the same time, the second game is continuously notified of the winning, and the big game of the second game is delayed until the big game of the first game is ended. Therefore, the player can play the big hit game after recognizing that the big hits are continuous, and the game motivation is improved.

As in FIG. 9 (a), when both of the first gaming devices 51 and 54 have acquired the winning random numbers, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), the second that stops later so that both special symbols stop simultaneously. Processing for shortening and changing the variation time of the special symbol of the symbol display device 55 is also possible. In this case, the big hit game start of the second gaming device 54 whose change time has been changed is delayed.
Thereby, although there is some fear of confusing the player, the impact of the big hit is great and the joy of the player can be increased.

Next, a case where a game ball is won at the other symbol start port while either one of the first gaming device 51 or the second gaming device 54 is a big hit game will be described.
When the first gaming device 51 is in the big hit game and the second gaming device 54 is out and acquires a random number, the variation time of the special symbol on the second symbol display device 55 is not changed.
As shown in FIG. 10 (a), when the first gaming device 51 is in the big hit game and the second gaming device 54 has also obtained a winning random number, the variation time of the special symbol on the second symbol display device 55 is determined as the big hit game. Is extended until the big hit game of the first gaming device 51 that has started.
Thereby, the player can play the big hit game while expecting the possibility of the next big hit game while being in an advantageous state, and the game motivation is improved.
Further, although the variation times of the gaming devices 51 and 54 are not changed, it is possible to delay the start of the big hit game of one gaming device. As a result, even if a big hit of the other gaming device is confirmed while one gaming device is a big hit game, it can be prevented from becoming invalid because the big hit game is not started, and the game content does not impair the player's profit can do.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, processing for changing the variation mode of the special symbol according to the variation time change of the special symbol is also possible. First, the game ball wins the second symbol operating port 56, and the first game device 51 that wins later acquires the winning random number, and the special symbol on the second symbol display device 55 is changed by the game ball won first. If the time is out due to the occurrence of reach, etc., the fluctuation time will be shortened according to the second gaming device that acquired the winning random number by the control as described above, and in order to avoid the state where both display the reach, A process of changing the variation mode of the outreach reach of the second symbol display device 55 to a simple deviating variation mode (non-reach out, short-time out reach, etc.) is performed.
To give a specific example, immediately after the second gaming device 54 acquires the variation pattern of the reach reach when the variation time of the special symbol is about 2 minutes and starts the variation, the first gaming device 51 is about the variation time. When the reach fluctuation pattern per minute is acquired, the special symbol fluctuation time of the second symbol display device 55 is changed to 30 seconds, and the fluctuation mode is also changed to a deviation fluctuation that does not perform the reach effect. Thereby, the production until the big hit of the first gaming device 51 is not hindered. Also, it is possible to concentrate on the symbol display device of the gaming device that really hits.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (c), when the first game device 51 obtains a winning random number when the outreach reach has already been displayed on the second symbol display device 55 that has previously stopped variably, Performs a control to make a definite display after shortening the variation time of the special symbol of the first symbol display device 52. During the interval until the big hit game of the first gaming device 51 is started, the special symbol variation of the second symbol display device 55 is stopped and displayed.

Here, the timing for referring to the variation time in the variation time change process of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 11 shows a configuration example in which the special symbol of the other gaming device does not fluctuate while one gaming device is a big hit. In addition, the timing at which both the gaming devices 51 and 54 refer to each other's variation time is shown. Only one of the gaming devices 51 or 54 may be referred to.
As shown in FIG. 11A, the gaming devices 51 and 54 refer to each other immediately before starting the change of the special symbol. First, if the person who first displays the special symbol (the first gaming device 51) acquires the winning random number, the first gaming device 51 refers to the second gaming device 54, and the second gaming device 54 Make sure that no random numbers have been acquired, and leave the first game time unchanged. After that (after the display of the special symbol of the second gaming device 54 is displayed, the timing of the start of the special symbol variation, etc.), the second gaming device 54 refers to the first gaming device 51 and confirms that the winning random number has been acquired. Then, a process of making the variation time of the special symbol of the second gaming device 54 shorter than the variation time of the special symbol of the first gaming device 51 is performed. The variation time changing process for controlling the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 to be fixedly displayed before the reach variation and fixed display period of the first gaming device 51 is the same as the processing of FIG. 8 described above.

Even when both of the gaming devices 51 and 54 of FIG. 11B have acquired winning random numbers, it is referred immediately before the start of each other's fluctuation that they have acquired winning random numbers. The first gaming device 51 refers to the second gaming device 54, confirms that the second gaming device 54 has not acquired a random number at that time, and the variation time of the first game is left as it is. After that (after the display of the special symbol of the second gaming device 54 is displayed, the timing of the start of the special symbol variation, etc.), the second gaming device 54 refers to the first gaming device 51 and confirms that the winning random number has been acquired. The variation time of the special symbol of the second gaming device 54 is stopped before the big hit game starts. As for the confirmation display of symbols, the special symbol of the second gaming device 54 is confirmed after the special symbol of the first gaming device 51 is confirmed. This makes it possible to concentrate on fluctuations in the special symbols of the second gaming device 54 with an interest in whether the big hits can be obtained continuously. On the contrary, if the second gaming device 54 is configured to be determined first, both special symbols are determined before the production time is very short. The production is inappropriate. Then, the jackpot game of the second gaming device is put on standby until the jackpot gaming operation of the first gaming device 51 is completed. Note that the same processing as that described in FIGS. 8 to 10 is performed.

FIG. 12 (a) shows the basic reference timing of the variable time reference. Usually, the variation state of the special symbol of one gaming device is confirmed immediately before the variation, the variation time is selected, and the variation operation is started. When there is no need to change the variation time, the variation operation is performed at the designated normal variation time. During the period indicated by (1), the first gaming device 51 refers to the variation state of the second gaming device 54, determines whether it is necessary to change the special symbol variation time of the first gaming device 51, and If it is determined that the variation time needs to be changed, a change process is performed (first confirmation unit). During the period of (2), the second gaming device 54 refers to the variation state of the first gaming device 51, determines whether it is necessary to change the special symbol variation time of the second gaming device 54, and the variation If it is determined that the time needs to be changed, a change process is performed (second confirmation means).
FIG. 12B shows a reference timing when the special symbol of the first gaming device 51 acquires a winning random number, and the special symbol of the second gaming device 54 performs a deviation variation.

Further, in the case of a gaming machine having a configuration in which the special symbol of the other gaming device continues to fluctuate even when one gaming device is in a big hit, control as shown in FIGS. 13 (a) to (c) is executed. . When referring to each other's gaming device, it is the timing before or just before the start of its own special symbol variation.
A case will be described in which the winning random number is acquired by the one that definitely displays the change of the special symbol before FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b). FIG. 13 (a) shows an example in which the special symbol changes even if the timing is slightly adjusted when the first gaming device 51 is a big hit game. FIG. 13 (b) shows that the special symbol change stops during the big hit game. This is an example of not making a fixed stop (only one change during a big hit game).
In FIG. 13A, first, the first gaming device 51 refers to the second gaming device 54, confirms that the jackpot random number value has not been acquired, and the variation time of the first gaming device 51 remains unchanged. Next, while the second gaming device 54 refers to the first gaming device 51, confirms that the first gaming device 51 has obtained a winning random number, and after the special symbol stop of the first symbol display device 52, the big hit game is started The variation time is changed so that the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 is fixedly displayed. This allows the player to concentrate on the special symbol variation effect (reach) of the first gaming device 51.
As shown in FIG. 13B, first, the first gaming device 51 refers to the second gaming device 54, confirms that no winning random number value has been acquired, and the variation time of the first symbol display device 52 is Then, the second game device 54 refers to the first game device 51, confirms the acquisition of the winning random number, and the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 until the big hit game of the first game device 51 is completed. It is good also as a structure which extends fluctuation time.
As a specific example, if the first fluctuation time is a few seconds remaining (winning) and the second starts to fluctuate (displaces), if one of the gaming devices is in a big hit game, the fluctuation time will be It is also possible not to make any changes. This is because, since the second has started to fluctuate just before the first end, there is no need to change the fluctuating effects.

  As shown in FIG. 13 (c), when each gaming device has acquired the winning random number, first, the first gaming device 51 refers to the second gaming device 54, and at the present time acquires the winning random number value. The second game device 54 refers to the first gaming device 51 and confirms the acquisition of the winning random number, and the second gaming device 54 also wins. Since the random number has been acquired, the fluctuation is maintained until the big hit game of the first gaming device 51 is finished, and is displayed with a special symbol stop, and the big hit game of the second gaming device 54 is started.

(Embodiment 2)
In the pachinko machine 10 according to the second embodiment, the variation time change process executed by the main control board 30 is executed by previously dividing the opponent's variation pattern according to the variation mode and referring to the division. It is. Divide fluctuations at the time of fluctuation start, at the time of high speed fluctuation, at the time of right symbol stop, at the time of middle symbol stop, at the time of reach, temporary stop, etc. It recognizes the fluctuating time (remaining category). In addition, even when the confirmation display is made, it is configured so that it can be selected with reference to the opponent's classification.

  FIG. 14 shows a classification example of a configuration in which a classification is provided for the variation mode. The variation time is represented by (1) high-speed variation period, (2) right symbol suspension period, (3) middle symbol suspension period, (4 It is divided into five parts: a) reach period and (5) a fixed display period. (6) is the jackpot interval. When the first gaming device 51 refers to the variation of the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 at a point in the above (1) high speed variation period, (2) right symbol suspension period, and (3) middle symbol suspension period, If the 1st game device 51 has acquired the winning random number, the change of the special symbol of the 2nd symbol display device 55 is stopped before the 1st symbol display device 52 shifts to a reach division. This variation process is defined as a first variation process setting 1. If the player has reached the first symbol display device 52, but the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 is also fluctuating, avoid the possibility of the player being unable to concentrate on the hitting action of the first symbol display device 52. Because.

  When the first gaming device 51 refers to the variation of the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 at a point in the (4) reach period or (5) the fixed display period, the first gaming device 51 ends the variation. (6) After entering the period of the big hit interval, the variation time of the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 is changed so that the variation of the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 is fixedly displayed. This variation process is defined as a first variation process setting 2. By confirming and displaying the variation of the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 after the notification and production related to the big hit of the first symbol display device 52 is finished, the points of interest of both variations can be shifted and displayed. This is to make the structure which does not impair either production.

  The flowchart shown in FIG. 15 represents the changing time changing process executed by the microcomputer of the main control board 30 of the second embodiment. This changing time changing process is one of the gaming devices 51 and 54. Or, when a random number value that is won by both is acquired, the change time of the one that is not won or the one that comes after the confirmation display is changed. When the process is started, it is determined whether or not the first gaming device 51 has been won or there is a pending storage (S500). If a negative determination is made here, return is returned, and if an affirmative determination is made, it is determined whether or not the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 is changing (S510). If a negative determination is made here, return is returned. If an affirmative determination is made, reference is made to the special symbol variation category of the second symbol display device 55 (S520), and the special symbol variation of the first symbol display device 52 is started (S530). It is determined whether or not the special symbol of the one symbol display device 52 is confirmed and displayed first (S540). If a negative determination is made here, return is returned, and if a positive determination is made, it is determined whether or not the second gaming device 54 has been won (S550). If the determination is negative, return is returned. If the determination is affirmative, the special symbol variation mode classification of the second symbol display device 55 is either (1) high-speed variation period, (2) right symbol suspension period, or (3) middle symbol suspension period. It is determined whether or not (S560). If the determination is affirmative, the processing for stopping the variation of the special symbol on the second symbol display device 55 is executed before the above-described variation processing setting 1 and the first gaming device 51 shift to the reach classification (S570). After the first variation processing setting 2 described above, that is, when the first symbol display device 52 finishes the variation of the special symbol and enters the period of the big hit interval, the variation of the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 is confirmed and displayed. A process of changing the variation time of the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 is performed, and the process returns.

Next, the fluctuation stop process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
When the process is started, it is determined whether or not the special symbol of the first symbol display device 52 is changing (S600). If a negative determination is made here, return is returned, and if an affirmative determination is made, it is determined whether or not the special symbol variation time reduction processing of the first symbol display device 52 has been completed (S610). If a negative determination is made here, return is returned, and if an affirmative determination is made, the first variation setting processing 1 is executed, that is, the processing for stopping the variation of the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 before the first gaming device 51 shifts to the reach classification. It is determined whether or not to perform (S620). If an affirmative determination is made here, it is determined whether or not the variation of the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 has progressed to (4) reach period among the variation categories of the first gaming device 51 (S630). If a negative determination is made, it is determined whether or not the symbol display of the second symbol display device 55 has advanced to (6) the big hit interval (S640). If the determination in step S630 is affirmative, the variation of the special symbol of the first symbol display device 52 is stopped (S650). If the determination is negative, the variation of the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 is continued until the reach period. After stopping the change of the special symbol of 1 symbol display device 52 (S650), it returns to return. If a negative determination is made in step S640, the process returns to the return. If an affirmative determination is made, the variation of the special symbol of the first symbol display device 52 is stopped (S650), and the process returns to the return.

(Embodiment 3)
The pachinko machine 10 according to the third embodiment includes means for changing the special symbol variation time of the second symbol display device 55 only in the first gaming device 51, and when the first gaming device 51 acquires a random number, When the second game device 54 obtains a random number, the time is changed so that it is shorter than the variation time of the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55. It has a configuration to change to.

As shown in FIG. 17, in the variation time changing process of the third embodiment, when the process is started, it is determined whether or not the special symbol of the first symbol display device 52 has started the variation (S700). If it is determined, the process returns to the return. If the determination is affirmative, it is determined whether or not the first gaming device 51 has acquired a winning random number (S710). Here, the first gaming device 51 obtains the winning random number, whether the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 is changing (S720), or the first gaming device 51 does not obtain the winning random number, It is determined whether or not the special symbol of the two symbol display device 55 is changing (S730). If a negative determination is made in step S720, the process returns to the return. If an affirmative determination is made, it is determined whether or not the second gaming apparatus 54 has acquired a winning random number (S740). If the determination is affirmative, processing for extending the variation of the special symbol of the first symbol display device 52 is executed (S760). If the determination is negative, the variation of the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 is reduced (S770), and a return is made. Exit. If a negative determination is made in step S730, the process returns to the return. If an affirmative determination is made, it is determined whether or not the second gaming device 54 has acquired a winning random number (S750). If the determination is negative, the process returns to the return. If the determination is affirmative, the process of reducing the variation of the special symbol of the first symbol display device 52 is executed (S780), and the process returns to the return.
In addition, regarding step S760 to step S780, it is possible to adopt an appropriately changed configuration. For example, the “first variation shortening process” in step S780 may be “first variation expansion process”, “first variation standby process”, “second big hit game delay process”, or the like.
As an effect of this configuration, it is not always necessary for both of them to have means for referring to the fluctuation state of the other party. With the above configuration, it is possible to achieve the same effect as in the previous embodiment.

(Embodiment 4)
In the pachinko machine 10 according to the fourth embodiment, when one (for example, the first gaming device 51) starts a big hit game, the other (for example, the second symbol display device 55) can be changed in advance. More than the time related to the big hit game is set in the variation pattern acquired at times, and the variation is not shortened due to the variation time change.

As an example, as shown in FIG. 18, (1) the big hit start interval is about 10 seconds, (2) each big winning opening opening time is about 30 seconds × 15 = 450 seconds, and (3) the round interval is about 4 seconds × 15. = 60 seconds, (4) The big hit game end interval is about 10 seconds, and the variation pattern is set to at least 530 seconds or more.
Even with the shortest variation time, there is a variation time longer than the hit operation response time (the big hit game start interval, the longest open time of each round, the interval between rounds, the big hit game end interval), which is the time related to the game operation related to the big hit If it is determined that the other gaming device has not acquired the winning random number value, an appropriate period, for example, (1) to (4) of the winning action corresponding time is cut and the shortening variation is performed. Therefore, although it is a normal variation time during normal times, even if the other gaming device is in a big hit gaming state, it can be dealt with by simply stopping the shortening.

  FIG. 19 shows the variation time shortening process in the above configuration. When the process is started, it is determined whether or not the first gaming apparatus 51 has been won or there is a holding memory (S800). If a negative determination is made here, return is returned, and if a positive determination is made, it is determined whether or not the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 is changing (S810). If a negative determination is made here, return is returned, and if a positive determination is made, it is determined whether or not the second gaming device 54 has drawn a winning random number (S820). If a negative determination is made here, the hit operation corresponding times (1) to (4) are cut, the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 is shortened (S830), and the process returns to the return. If the determination is affirmative, normal fluctuation processing is performed (S840), and the process returns.

(Embodiment 5)
The pachinko machine 10 according to the fifth embodiment is configured to use changing means such as a switch and a button as changing time changing means. The variation time changing means of the present embodiment is effective when either one of the gaming devices 51 and 54 is in a variation state in which the expectation of the big hit is high, and when used in the effective state, the special display of the symbol display device of the other gaming device is made. When the variation time of the symbol is shortened and the variation is completed, control is performed to delay the next variation start until the variation state with high expectation of the big hit is confirmed or the big hit game is finished.

FIG. 20 is a front view of the pachinko machine 10 provided with the shortening button 75 for shortening the variation time of the special symbol. When a highly anticipated reach or the like occurs in either of the gaming devices 51 and 54, the other gaming device is quickly stopped by a button operation in order to easily concentrate there.
Thereby, the fluctuation | variation of one game device can be shortened arbitrarily by a player, and it can concentrate on the fluctuation | variation of one game device.

  The variation shortening process of this embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. When the process is started, it is determined whether or not the special symbol variation of the first symbol display device 52 has started (S900). If a negative determination is made here, return is returned, and if a positive determination is made, it is determined whether or not the special symbol of the second symbol display device 55 is changing (S910). If a negative determination is made here, return is returned, and if an affirmative determination is made, it is determined whether or not the first gaming device 51 has won or has acquired a predetermined random number value (S920). If a negative determination is made here, it is determined whether or not the second gaming device 54 has won or has acquired a predetermined random value (S930). If the determination is negative, the process returns to the return. If the determination is affirmative, processing to validate the operation of the shorten button 75 is executed (S950). In step S920, if the determination is affirmative, it is determined whether or not the second gaming device 54 has won or has acquired a predetermined random number value (S940). The process to be converted is executed (S960). If the determination is affirmative in step S940, the process returns. When the second gaming device 54 wins or obtains a predetermined random number value and the shorten button 75 is pressed (S970), a process of shortening the special symbol variation of the first symbol display device 52 is executed (S990), When the first gaming device 51 wins or obtains a predetermined random value and the shortening button 75 is pressed (S980), a process of shortening the special symbol variation of the second symbol display device 55 is executed (S1000), Return to return. If the shorten button 75 is not pressed, the process returns to the return.

  Although Embodiment 1 to Embodiment 5 have been described in detail above, in the above embodiment, the fluctuation time changing means may be used as fluctuation interruption means and fluctuation resumption means. In other words, instead of shortening / extending the fluctuation time, it is conceivable that the fluctuation of the special symbol is temporarily stopped by the fluctuation interruption means, and the fluctuation of the special symbol that has been interrupted when the fluctuation becomes possible later is resumed. It is done.

(Other embodiments)
As another configuration, when one (first gaming device 51) acquires a winning random number, the other (second gaming device 54) also performs an effect that can be expected to be a big hit, so that the confirmation display is also made simultaneously It is good also as a structure provided with control which changes a fluctuation time.

  As shown in FIG. 22, when the first gaming device 51 obtains a winning random number and the second gaming device 54 loses and obtains a random number, first, it is notified that one of the gaming devices is a big hit with characters / sounds, etc. Keep it. Then, the winning symbol, for example, the first symbol display device 52 of the first gaming device 51 is changed to a non-probability variation symbol (for example, 4-4), and the second symbol display device 55 of the other second gaming device 54 is changed to a probability. Reach is performed with “7” which is a variable symbol. In this way, even if you know that it will be a big hit, you can be interested in which way to win.

In order to suitably perform the above-described effects, the special symbol display of the first symbol display device 52 has progressed to some extent (such as when the first symbol display device 52 has reached the final stage of reach). Since a sufficient design time cannot be taken, an effective period may be provided.
By performing the above-described control, it is possible to perform an effect that has become possible by providing a plurality of symbol display devices.

As shown in FIG. 23, it is not always necessary to provide two symbol display devices, and a configuration may be adopted in which each region is displayed on one symbol display device. In that case, it is conceivable to change the display area depending on the content of the variation mode, and to enlarge and display the one that is more highly expected to win. Then, even if two special symbols are displayed on one symbol display device, a specific variation mode can be produced using the display area of the symbol display device to the maximum extent, so that there is no problem.
For example, as shown in FIG. 23A, one special symbol display is divided into a first display area and a second display area. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 23B, when the second display area is changed and reduced, it is possible to enlarge the first display area and perform an effect using substantially the entire display area. By doing so, the player does not need to see the two display devices alternately, and can see two variations on one display device.

(Reference means)
When each other's gaming device refers to the other, the following aspect of the invention can be considered. In a gaming machine comprising a first gaming device and a second gaming device each having at least two symbol display devices and corresponding start ports, the state of variation of the symbols of the first gaming device and the second gaming device of each other If both symbols are fluctuating and the predetermined condition is obtained when the fluctuation stops first, the other symbol shows the fluctuation state of the previous symbol. It is a gaming machine characterized by determining its own variation time by referring to it.

Here, the fluctuation state means a fluctuation time (fluctuation fluctuation time hit at the time of fixed stop) and a fluctuation mode (high speed fluctuation, right symbol stop, middle symbol stop, reach, fixed stop, etc.). Here, the fluctuation time is changed so that the fluctuation is stopped earlier in the normal fluctuation time than in the fluctuation fluctuation first. Of course, not only stopping first but also shortening / extending can be considered. Predetermined conditions include winning random number acquisition, specific variation pattern, shortening button pressing, and the like. The cause of the change in the change time is to check whether one of them is changing immediately before starting the change, and if it has not changed, use the change pattern obtained at the time of winning the start opening in advance. If it does, it is confirmed whether or not the predetermined condition is satisfied. When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the changing time changing process is performed. Although various configurations can be considered for the reference of the variation time, two examples are given below. Refer to the opponent's fluctuation pattern and the time from the beginning of fluctuation. Since the fluctuation time is set in the fluctuation pattern, the remaining time can be calculated by subtracting the time from the fluctuation start. The other party's variation pattern is divided in advance according to the variation mode, and the division is referred to. By classifying fluctuations at the time of fluctuation start, at the time of high-speed fluctuation, at the time of right symbol stop, at the time of middle symbol stop, at the time of reach, and at the time of temporary stop, etc. You can know the fluctuation time (remaining category). In addition, even when stopping fixedly, it is possible to make a selection with reference to the category of the opponent. As a result, if one side is stopped before the winning aspect of the winning random number value is classified as the “reach period”, it is possible to concentrate only on the reach effect, so the player's willingness to play is not impaired. An effect can be produced. The reference timing is preferably performed immediately before the start of fluctuation.

The change contents of the change time are largely changed according to a configuration that changes even when the opponent is in the big hit state and a change content that does not change when the opponent is in the big hit state. The relationship between the start opening prize timing and the changing contents of the changing time is useful. Fluctuation stop timing is: a) Stop before the fluctuation mode of the one who has won the winning random number reaches reach, b) If the remaining fluctuation time of the one that stops first is small, it is a big hit from the stop that stops first Stops during the period until the game starts, c) If both win random numbers are won, those who win later will stop during the period from the first stop to the start of the big hit game, d) Both won Alternatively, when one of them is acquired, the variation time and the second variation time of the first stop are simultaneously performed within a predetermined winning period. In order to stop at the above timing, the variation time is changed with reference to the remaining number of variation times of the opponent. Since the mutual monitoring is performed by monitoring each other's fluctuation status, the most suitable response can be made to each other's fluctuation status.

  For example, when reach occurs on the one hand, the other has a relatively short fluctuation time, so that players can easily concentrate on the reach, and at the start of the change at approximately the same time, each other gets a winning random value In such a case, it is possible to solve the problem caused by providing a plurality of display devices by changing the stop timing, such as extending the fluctuation time of either one so as not to disturb each performance. . In the above configuration, there is provided a variable time remaining number calculating means capable of calculating the remaining time until the partner's final stop when the two are changing. As the variation time reference method, the variation time and the variation mode are changed depending on whether the numerical value calculated by the variation time remaining number calculating means is greater than or equal to a predetermined value.

By making the most suitable change at that time according to each other's winning timing, it is possible to prevent obstructing each other's performance even in a gaming machine having a configuration in which a plurality of lotteries simultaneously draw. Moreover, by changing to the variation mode most suitable for the changed time together with the changed time, the player does not feel uncomfortable. There is provided a variation mode discriminating means capable of discriminating the variation mode when each other is fluctuating.

As a variation time reference method, the variation time change is caused by the winning random number acquired by the other. In the above configuration, the change stop timing of the change of change time is a) before the other change stop, b) before the big hit game start, and c) before the reach start. When the fluctuation time is changed and the fluctuation is stopped, the next fluctuation is not started until the other jackpot gaming operation is completed. On the other hand, when the big hit game is started, it is because the rule stipulates that the other side must not perform a fluctuating operation. Therefore, in order to avoid the situation where the big hit game is started on the other side during the fluctuation and the fluctuation is invalidated, it is necessary to change the fluctuation time of one side before finalizing the big hit and stop the final decision first. . If the other big hit game operation starts and changes, and if the change stops later, and the winning random number is also acquired, the change time will be until the end of the big hit game that stops first Delay. Even if one of them has started a big hit game, it can cope with a variable configuration. However, there is also a judgment that it is better to shift the jackpot game when both have obtained winning random numbers.
