  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that performs a variable display game in which a plurality of pieces of identification information are displayed in a variable manner on a display device and is capable of giving a specific game value in relation to the display result mode. It relates to a gaming machine to be executed.

  In accordance with winnings of game balls launched in the game area, a variable display game that displays a plurality of identification information (designs) on a variable display device composed of a liquid crystal display or the like is performed, and the display result is in a specific mode. In connection with the above, there is a gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine) which is given a specific gaming value such as generating a bonus game.

In such a gaming machine, there is one in which two variable display devices are provided so that a variable display game can be individually performed on the left and right of the game area (for example, Patent Document 1).
JP-A-10-277207

  However, in the above conventional example, since two types of variable display games proceed simultaneously, there is no correlation in the timing of determining the game results of each variable display game, and the player always pays attention to both of the variable display devices. There must be.

  In other words, if one of the variable display devices is casually viewed, there is a concern that the game result of the variable display game of the other variable display device may be overlooked, and the variable display game becomes a specific mode for the player. Since there is a risk of losing a valuable opportunity to show the moment, there is a risk that the interest of the game will be lowered.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a gaming machine that allows easy progress of a game without giving a time difference between the timings of confirmation of two types of variable display games and allowing the player to worry about the results of a plurality of variable display games performed simultaneously. The purpose is to do.

The first invention performs a game by firing a game ball in a game area formed on the game board,
In relation to the first and second variable display areas in which the variable display game for displaying the identification information in a variable manner is respectively played and the game ball is detected in the predetermined area, the first variable display area is first in the first variable display area. And a control means for performing the second variation display game in the second variation display area, and at least one of the first variation display game or the second variation display game is special. If the result is a gaming machine that generates a special gaming state and grants a privilege to the player, the gaming area has a first starting port and a second starting port in which a game ball can be won. A first winning detection sensor and a second winning detection sensor that are separately provided and individually detect winning at each start opening are provided, and the control means detects a game ball by the first winning detection sensor. Since the first variation display game Pending memory until the row in advance a first start memory means for storing a plurality of the set upper limit value as a limit, a second variable display games from the game ball is detected by the second prize sensor each but the pending memory until it is executed, thereby pre-second start memory means for storing a plurality of the set upper limit value as a limit, the one of the stored pending stored in the first start memory means addressed decrease Furthermore, every time the first variable display game is reduced to one by the first game execution means for executing the first variable display game once and the hold memory stored in the second start storage means, A second game execution means for executing the game, and while the special gaming state is occurring, both the first variation display game and the second variation display game are made to stand by, and the standby A game ball is detected by the first winning detection sensor. Then, the stored memory is stored in the first starting storage means with the upper limit as a limit, and when the game ball is detected by the second winning detection sensor during the standby, the stored memory is stored with the upper limit as the limit. 2 When storing in the starting storage means, and when the special gaming state is ended and the number of reserved memories in the second starting storage means is a predetermined number, the number of reserved memories in the first starting storage means First, when the second variation display game is started and the number of reserved memories in the second activation storage means is not 0 when the started second variation display game is finished, the first activation storage means The second variation display game is started again regardless of the number of the reserved storage, and the execution of the first variation display game is waited during execution of the second variation display game. The second start-up memory when the variable display game is finished If the number of stages of the hold memory is 0, initiating the waited first variable display game.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the game area is provided with a variable winning device capable of winning a game ball, the special game state generated by the result of the first variable display game, and the second variable display. The same winning device is activated regardless of the special game state generated by the game result.

According to the present invention, the first start port and the second start port are individually provided so that the timing at which the result of the first variable display game is determined does not overlap with the timing at which the result of the second variable display game is determined. It is possible to play an easy-to-understand game.
In addition, when the special gaming state is finished and the number of reserved memories in the second start memory means is a predetermined number, the second variation display game starts regardless of the number of reserved memories in the first start memory means. is, once the second variable display game is executed until the number of pending memory of the second start-up storage unit is zero, while waiting for the execution of the first variable display games, the second variable display The game is executed repeatedly. Since the second variation display game is executed a plurality of times continuously for the amount of the hold memory, the second variation display game is different from the execution of the first variation display game during the execution of the second variation display game. Can be given to the player.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a front view showing the overall configuration of a gaming machine (a CR machine with a card ball lending unit) showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a control system.

  A front frame 3 of a gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine) 1 is assembled to a main body frame (outer frame) 4 through a hinge 5 so as to be capable of opening and closing, and a gaming board 6 is a storage frame (attached to the back of the front frame 3). (Not shown).

A cover glass 18 that covers the front surface of the game board 6 is attached to the front frame 3.

  The variable display device (display device) 8 displays, for example, three display symbols (identification information) on the left, middle, and right in the display area. For example, numbers “0” to “9” and alphabet letters “A” to “E” are assigned to these display symbols.

  When the variation display device 8 wins a game ball at the first start port 7 or the second start port 9, the display symbols composed of the aforementioned numbers and characters are displayed in order. When a winning to the first starting port 7 or the second starting port 9 is made at a predetermined timing (specifically, when the special symbol random number counter value at the time of winning detection is a winning value) Special gaming state), and stops in a state where three display symbols are aligned (a jackpot symbol). At this time, the large winning opening of the variable winning apparatus 10 opens wide for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds), and a large number of game balls can be acquired.

  The winning of the game ball to the first starting port 7 is detected by the first special figure (special symbol) starting sensor 51 (see FIG. 2), and the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 9 is 2 Detected by a special figure start sensor 52 (see FIG. 2). The passing timing of the game ball to the first start port 7 (specifically, the value of the special symbol random number counter provided in the game control device 100 (see FIG. 2) at the time of winning detection) = One special symbol winning memory (first start memory) is stored in a predetermined storage area (first special symbol random number storage area) in the game control device 100 up to a predetermined number of consecutive times. The number stored in the first special symbol winning memory is displayed in a predetermined area of the variable display device 8. The game control device 100 plays a variable display game on the variable display device 8 based on the first special symbol winning memory.

  Similarly, the passing timing of the game ball to the second starting port 9 is also a predetermined storage area (second special symbol random number storage area) in the game control device 100 as the second special symbol winning memory (second starting memory). ) Is stored up to a predetermined number of consecutive times. The number stored in the second special symbol winning memory is displayed in a predetermined area of the variable display device 8. The game control device 100 plays a variable display game on the variable display device 8 based on the second special symbol winning memory.

  An upper plate 21 for supplying a ball to the ball hitting device is provided on the open / close panel 20 below the front frame 3, and a lower plate 23, an operation unit 24 of the ball hitting device and the like are provided on the fixed panel 22.

  A first notification lamp 31 and a second notification lamp 32 are provided on the front frame 3 on the upper portion of the cover glass 18 to notify a state such as abnormal discharge of a sphere by lighting.

  The operation panel 26 for the card ball lending unit includes a card balance display unit (not shown) for displaying the card balance, a ball lending switch 28 for instructing ball lending, a card return switch 30 for instructing to return the card, and the like. Is provided.

  The card ball lending unit 2 incorporates a card reader / writer and a ball lending control device for reading and writing data of a card (a prepaid card or the like) inserted in the card insertion unit 25 on the front surface. The rental unit operation panel 26 is formed on the outer surface of the upper plate 21 of the gaming machine 1.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a control system centering on the game control device 100 (game control means).

  The game control device 100 is a main control device that comprehensively controls games, a CPU that controls game control, a ROM that stores invariant information for game control, and a RAM that is used as a work area during game control Is composed of a gaming microcomputer 101 with a built-in, an input interface 102, an output interface 103, an oscillator 104, and the like.

  The game control device 100 is a main control device that comprehensively controls games, a CPU that controls game control, a ROM that stores invariant information for game control, and a RAM that is used as a work area during game control Is composed of a gaming microcomputer 101 with a built-in, an input interface 102, an output interface 103, an oscillator 104, and the like.

  The gaming microcomputer 101 receives detection signals from various detection devices (first special figure start sensor 51, second special figure start sensor 52, general winning opening sensors 54A to 54N, count sensor 53) via the input interface 102. In response, various processes such as a jackpot lottery are performed. Then, through the output interface 103, command signals are transmitted to various control devices (the effect control device 150, the discharge control device 200), the special winning opening solenoid 36, etc., and the game is comprehensively controlled.

  The discharge control device 200 controls the operation of the payout unit based on a prize ball command signal from the game control device 100 or a ball rental request from the card ball rental unit 2, and causes the prize ball or the ball to be discharged.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the effect control device 150 (display control means) controls the display of the variable display device 8, the decorative light emitting device such as a decorative lamp, LED, and the sound effect output from the speaker. ROM152, RAM153, interface 154, DMAC (direct memory access controller) 155 for display device, VDC (video display controller) 156, image data (design data, background image data, moving image character data, etc.) are stored. The font ROM 157, the oscillator 158, the γ correction circuit 159, each display, decoration, speaker interface 160, and the like.

  The CPU 151 creates screen information (symbol display information, background image information, video character screen information, etc.) based on the display command signal from the game control device 100 and stores it in the RAM 153. This screen information is transferred to the VDC 156 by the DMAC 155 that has received the transfer command at the timing of the vertical synchronization interrupt of the VDC 156. Based on this image information, the VDC 156 takes in the corresponding image data in the font ROM 157, performs horizontal scanning and vertical scanning on the screen of the variable display device 8, and performs predetermined image display (drawing).

  The font ROM 157 stores data for each identification symbol used in the variable display game, and data for effect display such as backgrounds and characters.

  The interface 154 only allows signal input from the game control device 100 to the effect control device 150, and prohibits signal output from the effect control device 150 to the game control device 100.

  The γ correction circuit 159 adjusts the display illuminance of the variation display device 8 by correcting the nonlinear characteristic of the illuminance with respect to the signal voltage of the variation display device 8.

  Further, the CPU 151 controls sound effect output from a decorative light emitting device such as a decorative lamp and LED, and a speaker based on a command signal from the game control device 100. The CPU 151 is connected to a timer 161 that counts time.

  Next, an outline of the game will be described for the gaming machine of the present embodiment.

  First, at the beginning of the game (or before the game is started), the game is waiting for a customer, and a signal instructing display of the customer waiting screen is transmitted from the game control device 100 to the display control device 150, and the variable display device 8 is displayed. A customer waiting screen (moving image or still image) is displayed on the display screen.

  Then, when the game ball launched into the game area wins the first start port 7 or the second start port 9, a predetermined random number is extracted by the game control device 100 based on the win, and this random number becomes a predetermined value. Depending on whether or not they are equal, a lottery drawing of the variable display game is performed, and a signal for instructing variable display is transmitted from the game control device 100 to the display control device 150 and set on the display surface of the variable display device 8. The variable display of a plurality of symbols (identification information) is started at a predetermined position in the variable display area.

  Here, the variable display game performed by the variable display device 8 is executed in the first variable display region set in the variable display device 8 by winning the first start port 7, As a result of winning a prize at the second start port 9, the second variable display game is executed in the second variable display area set in the variable display device 8, as will be described later. As will be described later, the game execution timing is controlled so as not to overlap between the first variation display game and the second variation display game.

  When a predetermined time elapses after the start of the variable display, the variable display in the first or second variable display area is temporarily stopped in the order of, for example, left, right, and middle (for example, the pattern is slightly changed at the stop position). In this process, it is a reach state (for example, a state in which symbols other than the last symbol to be stopped are stopped in a combination having the same contents, and only the symbol to be stopped last is changing). Specifically, the left symbol and the right symbol are stopped together, but the middle symbol is still changing, so there is a possibility that it will be a big hit) A predetermined reach production is performed. In this reach effect, for example, the change display of the inside symbol is performed at an extremely low speed, the display is changed at a high speed, or the change display is reversed. In addition, background display and character display are performed in accordance with reach production.

  The temporary stop state is a state in which the player can recognize the symbol as a substantially stopped state, and the final stop mode is not determined. The stopped state includes the temporary stop state and the state in which the symbol is stopped. State. As a specific example of the temporary stop state, in addition to the slight fluctuation at the stop position, there are modes such as displaying the symbol in an enlarged scale, changing the color of the symbol, changing the shape of the symbol, and the like.

  If the result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot, the left, right, and middle symbols are finally stopped in a predetermined jackpot combination, and a jackpot (jackpot game) is generated. When the jackpot game is generated, a special game is performed in which the variable winning device (big winning opening) 10 is opened for a predetermined period. This special game is executed by making a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls to the variable winning device 10 or a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) as one unit (one round), and a prescribed round (for example, 16 rounds). ) Is repeated. When a jackpot game is generated, a signal for instructing display of the jackpot game is transmitted from the game control device 100 to the display control device 150 such as a jackpot fanfare display, round number display, jackpot effect display, etc. The jackpot game is displayed on the screen.

  Note that the variable winning device 10 operates during the jackpot game, regardless of whether the first variation display game is a big hit or the second variation display game is a big win. Further, during the jackpot game, the variable display is not performed in any of the first and second variable display areas (the first variable display game and the second variable display game are not executed). If the jackpot is a specific jackpot, a specific gaming state is generated after the jackpot game, and the next jackpot occurrence probability becomes a high probability (probability variation state).

  When the game ball wins the first starting port 7 or the second starting port 9 during the waiting state of the customer, or during the variable display game or the big hit game, a random number (a value of the special symbol random number counter) is extracted at the winning timing, The acquired random number values are stored as the hold memory as the first special symbol start memory and the second special symbol start memory, respectively. The reserved storage can store up to four first and second special symbol start memories. The special symbol random number counter is a counter that is updated between 0 and 449 at a predetermined timing (at intervals of 2 milliseconds).

  Based on the first or second special symbol start memory, the variable display game is executed. Further, when the variable display game is finished (when it is lost), or when the big hit game is finished, when there is no first or second special symbol start memory, it is returned to the customer waiting state.

  FIG. 4 shows the display area 80 of the variable display device 8.

  Two variable display areas are set in the display area 80 of the variable display device 8, and a first variable display area 81 for displaying the first variable display game is provided at the upper left of the display area 80, and above that. Is provided with a first start memory display area 91 for displaying the first start memory with a circle of a predetermined upper limit value (for example, four). A second variable display area 82 for displaying the second variable display game is provided at the lower right of the display area 80, and a second start memory is displayed below the predetermined upper limit (for example, four) circles below the second variable display area 82. A second start-up storage display area 91 for displaying with a mark is provided. In the first start memory display area 91 and the second start memory display area 92, a hatched area indicates a state where the start memory is present, and a white circle indicates a state where the start memory is not present.

  In the first variation display area 81, three special symbols, a left symbol 81L, a middle symbol 81C, and a right symbol 81R, are displayed in the horizontal direction of the screen, and these symbols 81L to R vary in a predetermined direction. A display game is played.

  The same applies to the second variation display area 82. Three special symbols, left symbol 82L, middle symbol 82C, and right symbol 82R, are displayed in the horizontal direction of the screen, and these symbols 82L to R vary in a predetermined direction. By doing so, a variable display game is performed.

  As will be described later, the first variation display game and the second variation display game are controlled by the game control device 100 so that the game is not executed simultaneously.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of control performed by the game control apparatus 100.

  First, in S1, it is determined whether or not there is a first start memory (whether it is greater than 0), and it is determined whether or not to start a variable display game based on the first start memory. If there is no first start memory, the process proceeds to S7.

  If there is a first start memory, the process proceeds to S2 and erases (digests) one first start memory each time the first variation display game is started.

  In S3, the first symbol (for example, the left symbol 81L), the second symbol (for example, the right symbol 81R) of the first variation display game, based on the hold memory of the next variation display game stored in the first start memory, The stop symbol of the third symbol (for example, the middle symbol 81C) is determined and the first variation time is determined.

  Next, in S <b> 4, a change start command for the first variation display game is transmitted to the effect control device 150 together with the data for designating the determined stop symbol of the first variation display game and the first variation time.

  In S5, it is determined whether or not the first variation time determined in S3 has elapsed. If the first variation time has elapsed, a command to stop the symbol variation of the first variation display game is produced. It transmits to the control apparatus 150.

  Next, in S6, it is determined whether or not the random number value determined in S3 is a big hit. If the random value corresponding to the first start-up memory is a jackpot, the process proceeds to S15, and a jackpot control command is transmitted to the effect control device 150. On the other hand, in the case of a loss, the process proceeds to S16. Note that the process proceeds to S16 even after the jackpot control (execution of the jackpot game) is completed.

  Next, in S17 when the jackpot control is ended or the first or second variation display game is lost, the interruption variation flag for controlling the execution of the first variation display game and the second variation display game is turned OFF. After setting, the process proceeds to S7. The process of S7 is also performed when there is no first start memory in the determination of S1.

  In S7, it is determined whether or not the interrupt variation flag is ON. If it is ON, the process proceeds to S10, and if it is OFF, the process proceeds to S8.

  In S8, it is determined whether or not the number of start memories stored in the second start memory is greater than a predetermined value N (for example, 3). If the number of second start memories is equal to or less than the predetermined value N, the process proceeds to S1. Return. On the other hand, if the number of the second start memories is larger than the predetermined value N, the process proceeds to S9 and the interrupt variation flag is set to ON.

  In S10, in order to execute the second variation display game, one second start memory is deleted (digested), and the process proceeds to S11. Based on the random value (the value of the special symbol random number counter) corresponding to the second start memory. The stop symbols of the first symbol (for example, the left symbol 82L), the second symbol (for example, the right symbol 82R), and the third symbol (for example, the middle symbol 82C) of the second variation display game are determined, and the second symbol Determine the variation time.

  Next, in S12, a change start command for the second variation display game is transmitted to the effect control device 150 together with the data for designating the stop symbol and the second variation time of the second variation display game determined above.

  In S13, it is determined whether or not the second variation time determined in S11 has elapsed, and if the second variation time has elapsed, a command to stop the symbol variation of the second variation display game is produced. It transmits to the control apparatus 150.

  In S14, it is determined whether or not the random value corresponding to the second start-up storage is a big hit. If the random value corresponding to the second start-up memory is a jackpot, the process proceeds to S15, and a jackpot control command is transmitted to the effect control device 150 as described above. On the other hand, in the case of a loss, the process proceeds to S16 described above. Even after the big hit control (execution of the big hit game) is completed, the process proceeds to the above-described processing after S16.

  Thus, the first variation display game is executed when the first start memory is generated by the processes of S1 to S17, whereas the second variation display game is not executed until the second start memory exceeds the predetermined value N. When the second variation display game is started exceeding the predetermined value N, the first variation display game is interrupted and repeatedly executed until the second start memory is exhausted (second start memory number = 0). The When this second variation display game is repeatedly executed, the interrupt variation flag is set to ON.

Incidentally, since the second variation display game is executed continuously a plurality of times, it can be said that the second variation display game is more advantageous than the execution of the first variation display game. It is not necessary to continuously execute until the second start memory becomes zero. To the last, it is only preferable to execute continuously until the second start memory becomes zero.


FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of control of the variable display game performed by the effect control device 150.

  First, in S21, it is determined whether or not a variation start command for the first variation display game has been received from the game control device 100. If received, the process proceeds to S22, and if not received, the process proceeds to S23.

  In S22, the first variation display game is started based on the variation start command, and it is determined whether or not a command for stopping the symbol variation of the first variation display game is received from the game control device 100 in S23. If the symbol variation stop command is received, the process proceeds to S24, the symbol of the first variation display game is stopped, and if not received, the process proceeds to S25.

  In S25, it is determined whether or not a variation start command for the second variation display game has been received from the game control apparatus 100. If received, the process proceeds to S26, and if not received, the process proceeds to S27.

  In S26, the second variation display game is started based on the variation start command, and in S27, it is determined whether or not a command for stopping the symbol variation of the second variation display game is received from the game control device 100. If the symbol variation stop command is received, the process proceeds to S28 to stop the symbol of the second variation display game, and if not received, the process returns to S21.

  The effect control device 150 starts and confirms (stops) the first or second variation display game based on the variation start command or the symbol variation stop command sent from the game control device 100 through the processes of S21 to S28. .

  As described above, when a game ball is won at the first start port 7 and the first start memory is generated, the first variation display game is executed. After that, if the second start memory exceeds the predetermined value N, the second variation is performed. A display game is played. However, execution of the second variation display game is suspended until the number of second start memories exceeds a predetermined value N. Then, once the second variation display game is played, the interrupt variation flag is turned on. Therefore, after the second variation display game is repeatedly executed until the second start memory number becomes zero, the second variation display game is executed. The first variation display game is played.

  Therefore, since the timing at which the result of the first variation display game is confirmed and the timing at which the result of the second variation display game is confirmed do not overlap, the player may view any variation display game. Can be easily recognized, and an easy-to-understand game can be performed.

  Furthermore, in order to execute the second variable display game, a plurality of second start memories (holding memories) are necessary. Therefore, the number of second start memories required to execute the second variable display game is slightly smaller. It can be expected that the player will hesitate to finish the game with the number of second start memories less than 1, and the operation of the gaming machine will be improved. In order to execute the first variable display game, only one hold memory is sufficient, whereas in order to execute the second variable display game, a plurality of hold memories are necessary. In addition, the second variable display game is continuously executed a plurality of times. Therefore, when the second variable display game is executed, the player feels that a big hit is likely to occur.

  Further, since both the first start port 7 and the second start port 9 are arranged in the game area (that is, the game ball is launched by launching the game ball into the game area, and the game ball wins the first game ball). The game area includes both the first start winning portion in which the storage memory of the variable display game is stored and the second start winning portion in which the storage memory of the second variable display game is stored by winning the game ball. Because the game machine is placed in the first start port 7, a game ball is won at the first start port 7 and the first variable display game is played normally. Since the ball is won and the hold memory of the second start memory is accumulated, it is difficult to stop the game with the hold memory of the second start memory set to zero. Therefore, the second start memory is relatively in a state where the reserved memory remains, so that the game machine is difficult to stop, and as a result, the operation can be expected to increase.

  In each of the above embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, the first variable display area 81 is set at the upper left corner of the display area 80 of the variable display device 8 and the variable display is performed with a single symbol 81A ( The first variation display game) may be performed, the second variation display area 82 may be similarly set in the upper right corner, and the variation display (second variation display game) may be performed with a single symbol 82A. At this time, the dummy symbol 800 including three symbols may be displayed in a variable manner in accordance with the first or second variable display game. Then, when the first or second variable display game is a big hit, the three symbols of the dummy symbols 800 may be put in a stopped state to notify that the variable display game has been a big hit.

  In the present embodiment, control is performed so that the period in which the symbol is changed by the first variable display game and the period in which the symbol is changed by the second variable display game do not overlap. . However, if the results of the first and second variation display games are not determined at the same time (the configuration in which the symbols of the first variation region and the second variation region do not stop simultaneously), the first and second variation regions It is considered that the player will not be confused even if the symbols of fluctuate at the same time.

  8 to 13 show the second embodiment, in which the processing in the game control device 100 shown in FIG. 6 of the first embodiment is changed, and the symbols of the first and second variable areas are simultaneously shown. The configuration is variable. However, the symbols of the first and second variable regions are stopped at different timings (results are determined), and the other configurations are the same as in the first embodiment.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of main processing performed by the game control apparatus 100. In this process, as will be described later, a first variable display game process performed in S30 and a second variable display game process performed in S50 are repeated.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of the first variation display game process (the first symbol game process in the figure) performed in S30.

  First, in S31, conditional branching is performed according to the value of the first process number that controls the execution of the first variation display game. That is, if the first process number = 0, the process proceeds to S32. If the first process number = 1, the process proceeds to S37. If the same process number is 2, the process proceeds to S38. Note that the initial value of the first process number is 0.

  In S32 of the first process number = 0, it is determined whether or not the number of first start memories (the number of reserved memories) is greater than 0. If there is a first start memory, the process proceeds to S33 and thereafter, while If so, the process ends.

  In S33, every time the first variation display game is started, one first start memory (hold memory of the first start memory means) is deleted (digested), and whether or not the value of this hold memory is equal to a predetermined value. Based on the determination, stop symbols of the first symbol (for example, the left symbol 81L), the second symbol (for example, the right symbol 81R), and the third symbol (for example, the middle symbol 81C) of the first variation display game are determined. At the same time, the first variation time is determined.

  In S34, the first variation time is set in the first processing timer, and in S35, the first processing number is set to 1.

  Next, in S35, a change start command for the first change display game is transmitted to the effect control device 150 together with the data for designating the determined stop pattern and the first change time of the first change display game, and the process ends. . At this time, since the first process number is 1, the process of S37 is performed in the next control cycle.

  When the first process number is 1, the process proceeds to S37, and the in-game process of the first variation display game (the first symbol variation process in the figure) is performed as described later. In this process, the first process number is set to either 2 or 3 at the timing when the symbol of the first variation display game stops. At this time, the process corresponding to the first process number = 2 or 3 is performed in the next control cycle (the process of S38 or S40 is performed).

  When the first process number is 2, the process proceeds to S38 and it is determined whether or not the first process timer has passed a predetermined time. If the predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to S39, and the first process number corresponding to the random value is set. That is, when the random value is lost, the first process number is set to 0, and when the random number is a big hit, the first process number is set to 3. At this time, the process corresponding to the first process number = 0 or 3 is performed in the next control cycle (return to S32 or the process of S40 is performed).

  In the jackpot process of S40, as will be described later, a jackpot game for opening the jackpot of the variable winning device 10 is performed.

  Next, details of the second variation display game process (second symbol game process in the figure) performed in S50 of FIG. 8 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  FIG. 10 shows a subroutine of the second variation display game process performed in S50. First, in S51, conditional branching is performed according to the value of the second process number for controlling the execution of the second variation display game. That is, if the second process number = 0, the process proceeds to S52. If the second process number = 1, the process proceeds to S58. If the second process number is 2, the process proceeds to S59. Note that the initial value of the second process number is 0.

  In S52 of the second process number = 0, it is determined whether or not the number of the second start memory is greater than 0. If there is a second start memory, the process proceeds to S54 and thereafter, whereas if it is 0, the process proceeds to S53. The interrupt variation flag is set to OFF, the first symbol variation timer is also set (a time value for stopping the first symbol that has been constantly varied after a certain period of time is set), and the processing is terminated.

  In S54, every time the second variation display game is started, one second start memory (hold memory of the second start memory means) is deleted (digested), and whether or not the value of this hold memory is equal to a predetermined value. Based on the determination, stop symbols of the first symbol (for example, the left symbol 82L), the second symbol (for example, the right symbol 82R), and the third symbol (for example, the middle symbol 82C) of the second variation display game are determined. At the same time, the second variation time is determined.

  In S55, the second variation time is set in the second processing timer, and in S56, the second processing number is set to 1.

  Next, in S57, a change start command for the second variation display game is transmitted to the effect control device 150 together with the data for designating the stop symbol of the second variation display game and the second variation time determined above, and the process is terminated. . At this time, since the second process number is 1, the process of S58 is performed in the next control cycle.

  When the second process number = 1, the process proceeds to S58, and the in-game process of the second variation display game is performed as will be described later. In this process, the second process number is set to either 2 or 3 when the symbol of the second variation display game stops. At this time, the process corresponding to the second process number = 2 or 3 is performed in the next control cycle.

  If the second process number is 2, the process proceeds to S58 to determine whether or not the second process timer has passed a predetermined time (second variation time). If the predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to S60, and the second process number corresponding to the random value is set. That is, when the random value is lost, the second process number is set to 0, and when the random number is big, the second process number is set to 3.

  With this process, in the next control cycle, the process returns to S52 in the case of a loss, and the process is terminated as it is in the case of a big hit.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a subroutine during the first variation display game process performed in S37 of FIG.

  First, in S371, it is determined whether or not the interrupt variation flag is ON. If ON, the process proceeds to S376, and if OFF, the process proceeds to S372.

  When the interrupt variation flag is OFF, that is, when the second start memory number = 0, it is determined in S372 whether or not the first processing timer has expired (a predetermined time has elapsed), and if it has expired, S373 On the other hand, if not, the process is terminated as it is.

  In S373 when the first processing timer expires, a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds) for showing the stopped symbol to the player is set in the first processing timer. In S374, the first processing number is set. Is set to 2.

  In S375, a command to stop the symbol variation of the first variation display game is transmitted to the effect control device 150, and the process ends.

  On the other hand, if the interrupt variation flag is ON in the determination in S371, it is determined in S376 whether the second process number is 3, that is, whether it is a win, and the second process number = 3. If so, the process proceeds to S377, the first process number is set to 3, and in S375, an instruction to stop the symbol variation of the first variation display game is transmitted and the process is terminated.

  If the interrupt variation flag is turned ON in the second variation display game during the execution of the first variation display game by the processing of S371 to S377, the first variation display game is stopped and the process proceeds to jackpot processing. That is, since the result of the second variation display game is a big hit, the first variation display game is ended and the big hit game is performed.

  Next, the details of the jackpot process performed in S40 of FIG. 9 will be described with reference to the flowchart of the subroutine shown in FIG.

  First, in S401, an opening counter for counting the number of rounds of the jackpot game is set to 16.

  Next, in S402, a command to open the variable winning device 10 is issued to open the special winning opening. In S403, the system waits for a predetermined condition to be satisfied. When this condition is satisfied, a command is issued to close the variable prize-winning device 10, and the one-round jackpot game is terminated. The predetermined condition is satisfied when, for example, the count sensor 53 counts 10 game balls or when a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses after the variable winning device 10 is opened. And

  After one round is completed, the value of the release counter is decremented by 1 in S404, and it is determined whether or not the value of the release counter is 0 in S405. If it is 0, the process proceeds to S406 and the jackpot game ends. If not, the process returns to S402 and the opening and closing of the variable winning device 10 are repeated until a predetermined number of rounds elapses.

  In S406, the first process number is set to 0, and in S407, the second process number is set to 0 and the jackpot game is ended.

  By the above process, a jackpot game of a predetermined number of rounds is performed, and then the first process number and the second process number are reset to 0 to return to the normal game state.

  Next, the details of the second variation display game mid-process (the second symbol variation mid-process in the figure) performed in S58 of FIG. 10 will be described with reference to the subroutine flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, in S581, it is determined whether or not the interrupt variation flag is ON. If it is ON, the process proceeds to S585, and if it is OFF, the process proceeds to S582.

  If the interrupt variation flag is OFF, it is determined in S582 whether or not the second start memory number is larger than a predetermined value M (for example, M = 3). If it is larger than the predetermined value M, the process proceeds to S583. If not, the process ends.

  In S583, after setting the interrupt fluctuation flag to ON, a predetermined time (second fluctuation time) is set in the second processing timer, and the process is terminated. At this time, since the interrupt variation flag is ON, the processing after S585 is performed in the next control cycle, and the symbol is stopped when the symbol variation is performed for the second variation time.

  On the other hand, in S585 when the interrupt variation flag is ON, it is determined whether or not the second processing timer has timed up (a predetermined time has passed). If the time has expired, the process proceeds to S586. Advances to S589.

  In S586 when the second processing timer expires, a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds) for showing the stopped symbol to the player is set in the second processing timer. In S587, the second processing number is set. Is set to 2.

  In S588, a command to stop the symbol variation of the second variation display game is transmitted to the effect control device 150, and the process ends.

  On the other hand, if the second processing timer has not timed out in the determination of S585, whether or not the first processing number is 3 in S589, that is, whether or not the first variation display game is hit. If the first process number = 3, the process proceeds to S590 and the second process number is also set to 3. Then, in S588, a command to stop the symbol variation of the second variation display game is transmitted and processed. Exit.

  If the first variation display game becomes a big hit during execution of the second variation display game by the processing of S581 to S590, the second variation display game is stopped and the process proceeds to the big hit processing. That is, since the result of the first variation display game is a big hit, the second variation display game is ended and the big hit game is played.

  In S582 to S584, when the number of the second start memory exceeds the predetermined value M, the interrupt variation flag is turned ON, and the second variation game is prioritized by the processing of S371 and S376. A process of determining the variable display game (stopping the second special symbol) is performed, and a process of determining the second variable display game is performed until the second start memory number becomes 0 or a big hit (while In the first variation display game, the symbol variation continues to be continued). Thereafter, a process of determining the first variable display game (stopping the first special symbol) according to the number of first start memories is executed.

  As a result, since the second variation display game is executed a plurality of times for the symbol determination process continuously for the second start-up memory, the first variation display game is executed during the execution of the symbol determination processing for the second variation display game. It is possible to give the player another interest that is different from that during the execution of the symbol determination process of the variable display game. Then, the player becomes hesitant to finish the game with the second start memory number slightly less than the second start memory necessary for executing the symbol determination process of the second variation display game. We can expect to increase the operation of the machine. Furthermore, as long as there is an on-hold memory in the second start memory, although the symbol determination of the second variation display game is not performed, for the time being, only the symbol variation is performed, so that it feels like a game is being performed. It is done.

  14 to 15 show the third embodiment, and the process in the game control device 100 shown in FIG. 6 of the first embodiment is changed, and the second start port 9 shown in FIG. The second special figure start sensor 52 shown in FIG. 2 is deleted, and the start storage means is also composed of one type (without storing the hold storage in the form of distinguishing the first and second variable display games) Both the first and second variable display games are executed by holding storage), and other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  In the third embodiment, the first variation display game and the second variation display game are performed based on winning in the first start port 7.

  FIG. 14 is the first half of a flowchart showing an example of processing performed by the game control apparatus 100, and FIG. 15 is the second half.

  In S71, it is determined whether or not there is a first start memory. If not, the customer wait state shown in FIG. 4 is entered. When the first start memory is generated, the process proceeds to S72 and a variable display game is performed. Subtract 1 from the memory.

  Next, in S73, the random number value corresponding to the first start-up memory is compared with a preset table value to determine whether or not the first variation display game is a big hit. In the table, a value that is a big hit in the first variation display game and a value that is a big hit in the second variation display game are set in advance. Then, if it is a big hit of the first variation display game, the process proceeds to S74, and if it is a loss, the process proceeds to S75.

  In S74 when the first variation display game is a jackpot, the jackpot symbol is set as the stop symbol of the first variation display game, and the process proceeds to S79.

  On the other hand, in S75 in the case of losing, the symbol of losing is set as the stopping symbol of the first variation display game, and the process proceeds to S76.

  In S76, it is determined whether or not the random value corresponding to the first start memory (the random value compared in S73) is a big win of the second variable display game. While the process proceeds to S77, in the case of a loss, the process proceeds to S78.

  In S77 when the second variation display game is a jackpot, the jackpot symbol is set as the stop symbol of the second variation display game, and the process proceeds to S79.

  On the other hand, in S78 in the case of losing, the symbol of losing is set as the stopping symbol of the second variation display game, and the process proceeds to S79.

  In S79, the variation time (first variation time) of the first variation display game is set based on the random number value, and the start command of the first variation display game is transmitted to the effect control device 150 in S80.

  Next, in S81 of FIG. 15, after waiting for the first variation time to elapse, a command to stop the symbol of the first variation display game is transmitted to the effect control device 150.

  Then, in S82, it is determined whether or not the result mode (symbol arrangement) of the first variation display game is a big hit, and if it is a big win, the process proceeds to S87 and is similar to S15 shown in FIG. 5 of the first embodiment. Perform jackpot processing.

  On the other hand, when the result mode of the first variation display game is lost, the process proceeds to S83 to perform the second variation display game, and therefore the variation time (second variation time) of the second variation display game is based on the random number value. In step S84, the start command for the second variation display game is transmitted to the effect control device 150.

  Next, in S85, after waiting for the second variation time to elapse, a command to stop the symbol of the second variation display game is transmitted to the effect control device 150.

  Then, in S86, it is determined whether or not the result mode (symbol arrangement) of the second variation display game is a big hit. If the big hit, the process proceeds to S87 and the big hit processing is performed in the same manner as described above. The process returns to S71 to prepare for the next variable display game.

  With the above processing, both the result of the first variation display game and the result of the second variation display game are determined according to a random number that determines the probability of giving a privilege to the player. It is easy to do, and the frequency which gives a privilege to a player can be set easily.

  In addition, since two variation display games are played step by step in one start-up prize, even if the first variation display game is missed, there is a chance to be drawn again in the variation display game. Expectation can be sustained.

  16 to 19 show a fourth embodiment.

  FIG. 16 shows a front view of the gaming machine, and instead of the variable display device 8 of FIG. 1 shown in the first embodiment, an upper guidance device provided with a first special figure display unit at the center of the game board 6. 60 and a lower guidance device 70 having a second special figure display section are connected in the vertical direction, and a start opening 7A provided with an ordinary variable winning device 11 (auxiliary winning means) is provided above the upper guidance device 60. The starting port 7A and the upper guiding device 60 are connected. Then, below the lower guidance device 70, the variable winning device 10 having a large winning opening is arranged. The normal variation winning device 11 is driven to open and close by a general electric solenoid 110 (see FIG. 18).

  In addition, on the left and right sides of the upper guiding device 60, there are arranged general electric start ports 12A and 13A for operating the normal variation winning device 11. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  Next, the upper guidance device 60 and the lower guidance device 70 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The starting port 7A and the upper guiding device 60 are communicated with each other through a flow path 62 provided in the game board 6, and a winning ball is detected by a first special figure sensor 51 provided in the flow path 62.

  On the upper part of the upper guiding device 60, a rotatable first rotating body 61 having a recess 61A in which a game ball can be accommodated is disposed. The first rotating body 61 is driven by an upper rotating body motor 610 (see FIG. 18).

  A flow path 63 communicating with the lower guiding device 70 is formed on the left side of the first rotating body 61, and a flow path 64 including a big hit sensor 55 is formed on the right side of the first rotating body 61.

  The game ball that has won the starting port 7A flows down the flow path 62 and hits the first rotating body 61, and the first ball provided on the lower portion of the first rotating body 61 by passing the game ball through the first special figure sensor 51. The first variable display game is executed on the figure display unit 810, and the rotation direction of the first rotating body 61 is determined according to the result of the first variable display game. The first special figure display unit 810 includes an LED, a liquid crystal display device, or the like.

  When the result is a big hit, the first rotating body 61 rotates clockwise in the drawing to place the game ball of the flow path 62 in the recess 61A, and then flows down to the flow path 64 to pass the big hit sensor 55.

  On the other hand, when the result of the first variation display game is lost, the first rotating body 61 rotates counterclockwise in the figure, and after the game ball of the flow path 62 is received in the recess 61A, the flow path 63 And flow down to the lower guidance device 70.

  Next, the upper part of the lower guidance device 70 arranged at the lower part of the upper guidance device 60 communicates with the flow path 63 provided in the game board 6, and the second special figure sensor 52 provided in the flow path 63 The winning ball that has flowed down is detected.

  On the upper part of the lower guidance device 70, a rotatable second rotating body 71 having a recess 71A in which a game ball can be accommodated is disposed. The second rotating body 71 is driven by a lower rotating body motor 710 (see FIG. 18).

  A flow path 73 that communicates with the recovery tank is formed on the left side of the second rotating body 71, and a flow path 72 that communicates with the flow path 64 is formed on the right side of the second rotating body 71. To 55.

  The game ball that has flowed down from the upper guidance device 60 to the flow path 63 passes through the second special figure start sensor 52 and hits the second rotating body 71, and the game ball passes through the second special figure sensor 52 to perform the second rotation. The second variation display game is executed by the second special figure display unit 820 provided at the lower portion of the body 71, and the rotation direction of the second rotation body 71 is determined according to the result of the second variation display game. The second special figure display unit 820 includes an LED, a liquid crystal display device, or the like.

  When the result is a big hit, the second rotating body 71 rotates clockwise in the figure to place the game ball of the flow path 63 in the recess 71A, then flow down to the flow path 72 and lead to the flow path 6 to win the big hit The sensor 55 is passed.

  On the other hand, when the result of the second variation display game is lost, the second rotating body 71 rotates counterclockwise in the drawing, and after the game ball of the flow path 63 is received in the recess 71A, the flow path 73 Flow down to collect.

  FIG. 18 is a block diagram showing a control system centered on the game control device 100 (game control means).

  The game control apparatus 100 is configured in the same manner as in FIG. 2 of the first embodiment, and the devices connected to the input / output are different.

  The gaming microcomputer 101 includes a first special figure start sensor 51, a second special figure start sensor 52, general winning opening sensors 54A to 54N, a count sensor 53, a jackpot sensor 55, a general electric operation sensor connected to the input interface 102. In response to the detection signal from 56, various processes such as a big win lottery are performed. And, via the output interface 103, command signals are sent to various control devices (production control device 150, discharge control device 200), large winning opening solenoid 36, upper rotary body motor 610, lower rotary body motor 710, general electric solenoid 110, and the like. To control the game centrally.

  The discharge control device 200 controls the operation of the payout unit based on a prize ball command signal from the game control device 100 or a ball rental request from the card ball rental unit 2, and causes the prize ball or the ball to be discharged.

  The effect control device 150 (display control means) controls the display of the first special figure display unit 810 and the second special figure display unit 8208, the decorative light emitting device such as a decorative lamp, LED, and the output of the sound effect from the speaker. Thus, the configuration is the same as in FIG. 3 of the first embodiment.

  19 and 20 are flowcharts illustrating an example of control performed by the game control apparatus 100.

  First, in S101, it is determined whether or not the first special figure start sensor 51 is turned on. If it is turned off, the process waits until it is turned on.

  In S102, a random number value (a value of a special symbol random number counter) at the time when the first special figure starting sensor 51 is turned on is acquired, and whether or not it is a big hit by comparing this random number value with a predetermined determination value. If it is a big hit, the process proceeds to S103, and if lost, the process proceeds to S104. For example, if the random number value is 7, it is a big hit. The special symbol random number counter is updated at a predetermined timing (at intervals of 2 milliseconds) as in the previous embodiment. The value of the special symbol random number counter is acquired in accordance with the timing when the game ball reaches the first special diagram start sensor 51 (the counter is not necessarily acquired at the timing when S101 is executed). As described above, when the counter is acquired at the timing when the game ball arrives at the first special figure starting sensor 51, random numbers can be extracted at a timing that is not affected by the fluctuation time of the symbol, so that a more random lottery can be performed. .

  In S103 in the case where the random number value of the first special figure start sensor 51 is a jackpot, the jackpot symbol is set as the stop symbol of the first variation display game, and the process proceeds to S108.

  On the other hand, in S104 in the case of losing, the symbol of losing is set as the stopping symbol of the first variation display game, and the process proceeds to S105.

  In S105, whether or not the random value used in S102 is a big hit is determined by comparison with a determination value different from S102. If this random value is a big win, the process proceeds to S106, whereas in the case of a loss, the process proceeds to S107. Proceed to For example, if the random number value is 17, it is a big hit.

  In S106 when the determination result is a jackpot, the jackpot symbol is set as the stop symbol of the second variation display game, and the process proceeds to S108. Thus, if the determination using the same random number value is performed in the first variation display game and the second variation display game, the processing is simplified.

  On the other hand, in S107 in the case of losing, the symbol of losing is set as the stopping symbol of the second variation display game, and the process proceeds to S108.

  In S108, the variation time (first variation time) of the first variation display game is set based on the random number acquired when the first special figure start sensor 51 is turned ON, and in S109, the variation of the first variation display game. A start command is transmitted to the production control device 150.

  Next, in S110, after waiting for the first variation time to elapse, a command to stop the symbol of the first variation display game is transmitted to the effect control device 150.

Then, in S111 of FIG. 21, it is determined whether or not the result mode (symbol) of the first variation display game is a big hit, and if it is a big win, the process proceeds to S112. Then, it progresses to S120.

  In S120 when the first variation display game is a big hit, the upper rotating body motor 610 is commanded to rotate the first rotating body 61 in the big direction, that is, in FIG. 18, to rotate clockwise. In S121, the big hit sensor 55 is turned on. Wait for it to become.

  When the jackpot sensor 55 is turned on, the process proceeds to S122, where a jackpot process for performing a predetermined jackpot game is performed, and after the jackpot game ends, the process returns to S101 and waits for the next start winning prize.

  On the other hand, in S112 when the first fluctuation display game is lost, the upper rotating body motor 610 is instructed to rotate the rotation direction of the first rotating body 61, that is, in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. It waits for the special figure start sensor 52 to turn on.

  When the second special figure start sensor 52 is turned on, the process proceeds to S114, and the fluctuation time (second fluctuation time) of the second fluctuation display game is based on the random number value acquired when the second special figure start sensor 52 is turned on. The second change display game start command is transmitted to the effect control device 150 in S115.

  Next, in S116, after waiting for the second variation time to elapse, a command to stop the symbol of the second variation display game is transmitted to the effect control device 150.

  Then, in S117, it is determined whether or not the result mode (symbol) of the second variation display game is a big hit. If it is a big win, the process proceeds to S119. move on.

  In S119 when the second variation display game is a big hit, the lower rotating body motor 710 is commanded to win the rotation direction of the second rotating body 71, that is, the clockwise rotation in FIG. Process.

  On the other hand, in S118 when the second variation display game is lost, the lower rotating body motor 710 is instructed to rotate the second rotating body 71, ie, to rotate counterclockwise in FIG. 18, and the game balls are collected. After that, the process returns to S101 and waits for the next start prize. If a game ball is detected by the first special figure start sensor 51 before the process moves to S101 and is turned ON, only the value of the special symbol random number counter is acquired, and the symbol fluctuation of the first fluctuation display game is obtained. The process of the first variation display game is performed after the process proceeds to S101.

  With the above processing, it is possible to draw a two-stage lottery while guiding the balls necessary to play the variable display game, and two variable display games are performed step by step in one start winning prize. Even if the fluctuation display game is missed, there is another chance to be drawn in the fluctuation display game, so that the player's expectation can be maintained. Further, since the two change display games do not change at the same time, it is possible to realize a gaming machine in which the player can easily understand the progress of the game.

  The embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.

  As described above, the gaming machine according to the present invention can be easily applied to a pachinko machine (bullet ball gaming machine) because it can easily understand a variable display game.
