Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine represented by a pachinko gaming machine or a coin gaming machine. Specifically, a start area in which a predetermined start condition is established when a game medium is provided in the game area, and a variable display of a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified based on the establishment of the start condition are displayed. And a variable display device for deriving and displaying the display result, and when the display result of the variation display of the identification information in the variable display device becomes a predetermined specific display result, a specific game advantageous to the player The present invention relates to a gaming machine controlled by a state.

  What is conventionally known as this type of gaming machine is, for example, a starting area in which a predetermined starting condition is established when a game ball as a gaming medium is provided in the gaming area, and the starting condition There is a pachinko gaming machine provided with a variable display device that performs variable display of a plurality of types of identification information such as symbols that can each be identified based on the establishment of, and derives and displays a display result. In such a gaming machine, when the display result of the variation display of the identification information in the variation display device becomes a predetermined specific display result (big hit symbol), a specific gaming state (big hit gaming state) advantageous to the player And a special game such as a probability variation state in which the probability that the display result of the variation display becomes the specific display result is different from the normal game state when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Controlled by the state.

In addition, there are the following gaming machines that are controlled to the special gaming state after the end of the specific gaming state. As a first example, there are a plurality of gaming states such as a low probability state and a high probability state with different probabilities of becoming a big hit gaming state, and a variation shortening state for shortening the variation time of symbols such as normal symbols. There is a gaming machine in which the state is shifted to a high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state, and then controlled to shift to a variation shortening state when variation display is executed a predetermined number of times (Patent Document 1). In addition, as a second example, during the big hit control (between the big hit rounds), it is advantageous for the player such as the control for shortening the fluctuation time of the normal symbol, the opening extension control of the start winning opening, and the probability change control for the big hit. There is also a gaming machine in which a plurality of subgames are performed in which whether or not to shift to a special gaming state is determined (Patent Document 2).
Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-118469 (paragraph 0051) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-333089 (FIGS. 13 to 15, paragraph numbers 0034 to 0038)

  However, in the gaming machine of the first example described above, the gaming state shifts to the high probability state after the big hit gaming state ends, and then shifts to the variation shortening state when the variation display is executed a predetermined number of times. In addition, since the special game state to be transferred after the big hit game state is fixedly fixed, there is a problem that it is difficult to enhance the interest of the player.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the second example described above, whether or not the game state transition corresponding to each sub game result is performed is determined based on the game result only at the timing when each sub game is performed. As a result of an important sub-game, even if the player has lost interest in other sub-games that will be played later, such as whether or not the game state shifts, the game will be played multiple times. There was a problem that it might be difficult to improve the interest of the elderly.

  The present invention has been conceived in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to improve the interest of a player with respect to the transition of a gaming state caused by a specific gaming state.

At the end of the specific gaming state, it is determined that the high probability state and the high approach state are to be controlled (for example, in FIG. The rate at which the 2nd probability variation big hit is selected in the base state is 60%, and the rate at which the 2nd probability variation big hit is selected in the low accuracy low base state is lower than in the high accuracy high base state).
The effect display execution determining means is more specific in the normal state than in the case where it is determined to control the high probability state and the high approach state after the specific game state ends in the high probability state and the high approach state. It is determined that the third effect display is to be performed at a higher rate when it is determined to control to the high probability state and the high approach state after the end of the state (for example, second probability variation big hit (probability variation + time shortage big hit) decision) In the second probability variable big hit re-lottery display selection table of FIG. 13, which is sometimes used, the ratio of the special secondary re-lottery display selected in the low probability low base state is 45%, and the special secondary in the high probability high base state The rate at which the re-lottery display is selected is 30%, and the rate at which the special secondary re-lottery display is selected is higher in the low-accuracy and low-base state than in the high-accuracy and high-base state. .

  According to such a configuration, a normal state that is not a high probability state and not a high approach state is controlled to a high probability state and a high approach state after completion of the specific gaming state, compared to a high probability state and a high approach state. The rate is low. However, since the proportion of the third effect display is higher in the normal state than in the high probability state and the high approach state, the player's interest in the third effect display when the specific game state is entered in the normal state. Can be increased.

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

In this embodiment, the left and right lamps (the symbols can be visually recognized at the time of lighting) are alternately turned on to perform the variable display. For example, if the left lamp is turned on at the end of the variable display, it is a hit. When the stop symbol in the normal symbol display 10 is a predetermined symbol (winning symbol), the opening condition of the variable winning ball device 15 is established, and the variable winning ball device 15 is opened for a predetermined number of times. Become. In the vicinity of the normal symbol display 10, there is provided a normal symbol start memory display 41 having a display unit with four LEDs for displaying the number of stored effective passing spheres that have passed through the gate 32, that is, the number of start passing memories. Yes. Every time there is a game ball passing through the gate 32, the memory data of the start passage memory is incremented by 1, and the normal symbol start memory display 41 increments the LED to be lit by 1. Then, each time the variable display of the normal symbol display 10 is started, the stored data of the start passage memory is decreased by 1, and the LED to be lit is decreased by 1.

  The game board 6 is provided with a plurality of winning holes 29, 30, 33, and 39. The winning of the game balls to the winning ports 29, 30, 33, 39 is detected by the winning port switches 29a, 30a, 33a, 39a, respectively. Each winning opening 29, 30, 33, 39 constitutes a winning area provided in the game board 6 as an area for accepting game balls and allowing winning. The start winning opening 14 and the big winning opening also constitute a winning area that accepts game balls and allows winning. Around the left and right of the game area 7, there are provided decorative lamps 25 blinking and displayed during the game, and at the lower part there is an outlet 26 for absorbing a game ball that has not won a prize. Two speakers 27 that emit sound effects are provided on the left and right upper portions outside the game area 7. A top frame lamp 28a, a left frame lamp 28b, and a right frame lamp 28c are provided on the outer periphery of the game area 7. Further, a decoration LED is installed around each structure (such as a big prize opening) in the game area 7. The top frame lamp 28a, the left frame lamp 28b, the right frame lamp 28c, and the decorative LED are examples of a decorative light emitter provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  In this example, a prize ball lamp 51 that is lit during award ball payout is provided in the vicinity of the left frame lamp 28b, and a ball break lamp 52 that is lit when the supply ball is cut in the vicinity of the right frame lamp 28c. Is provided. Further, a prepaid card unit (hereinafter referred to as “card unit”) 50 that enables lending a ball by inserting a prepaid card is installed adjacent to the pachinko gaming machine 1. Various light emitting means such as a prize ball lamp 51, a ball break lamp 52, a decoration lamp 25, a top frame lamp 28a, a left frame lamp 28b, and a right frame lamp 28c are controlled to be lit (lamp control) by a lamp driver board 35 described later. . Further, sound generation control (sound control) from the speaker 27 is performed by an audio output board 70 described later.

  The card unit 50 includes, for example, a usable display lamp that indicates whether or not the card unit 50 is in a usable state, a connected table direction indicator that indicates which side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 corresponds to the card unit 50, and a card. Check the card insertion indicator lamp indicating that a card has been inserted into the unit 50, the card insertion slot into which a card as a recording medium is inserted, and the mechanism of the card reader / writer provided on the back of the card insertion slot. A card unit lock is provided for releasing the card unit 50 in the case of doing so.

  A game ball launched from the ball striking device by the player's operation enters the game area 7 through the hit ball rail, and then descends the game area 7. When the game ball enters the start winning opening 14 and is detected by the start opening switch 14a, the special symbol on the special symbol display 8 starts the variable display if the variation display of the symbol can be started. If the symbol display cannot be started, the number of reserved memories is increased by one.

  The special symbol change display on the special symbol display 8 stops when a certain time has elapsed. If the special symbol (stop symbol) at the time of stoppage is a jackpot symbol (specific display result), it will be a jackpot and the game will shift to a jackpot gaming state. In the big hit gaming state, the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is released until a predetermined time elapses or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of gaming balls wins. Then, when the game ball is won in the V winning area and is detected by the V winning switch 22 while the special variable winning ball device 20 is opened, the continuation right is generated and the special variable winning ball device 20 is opened again. Such control is called repeated continuation control. In the repeated continuation control, a state in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is opened is called a round. The generation of the continuation right is allowed with a predetermined number of times such as 15 rounds as an upper limit value. In addition, you may control not to provide V winning area but to generate a continuation right unconditionally in each round.

  When the special symbol on the special symbol display 8 at the time of stoppage is a predetermined special big-hit symbol (probable variation big-hit symbol) among the big-hit symbols, the probability of becoming a big-hit after the big-hit gaming state is different from the big-hit gaming state This is an advantageous state for the player, that is, a probability variation state (hereinafter referred to as a probability variation state) that is higher than a normal game state (a low probability low base state, which will be described later). Hereinafter, the probability variation state is also referred to as a high probability state (sometimes abbreviated as a high probability state). Further, the non-probability variation state (state other than the probability variation state) is also referred to as a low probability state (sometimes abbreviated as a low probability state).

  The decorative symbols that are variably displayed in the variable display device 9 are variably displayed in a predetermined relationship with the special symbol variation display in order to enhance the decoration effect of the special symbol variation display in the special symbol display 8. It is a symbol with a special meaning. For example, the predetermined relationship with respect to the symbol includes, for example, the relationship in which the variation display of the decorative symbol starts when the variation display of the special symbol is started, and the display result of the special symbol at the end of the variation display of the special symbol. The display result of the decorative symbol is derived and displayed when the symbol is derived and displayed, and the variation display of the decorative symbol is terminated. When a special jackpot symbol is derived and displayed as a display result by the special symbol display 8, a combination of jackpot symbols in which the left, middle, and right symbols are flattered is derived and displayed on the variable display device 9. . Such a display result of the jackpot symbol by the special symbol and the display result of the combination of the jackpot symbol by the decoration symbol are referred to as a jackpot display result.

  Since the special symbol display 8 and the fluctuation display device 9 have the correspondence relationship as described above, the fluctuation display results may be collectively referred to as a fluctuation display unit in the following description.

  Next, the reach display mode (reach) will be described. The reach display mode (reach) in the present embodiment means that the symbols that have not been stopped when the stopped symbols constitute a part of the jackpot symbol, and that all or This is a state where some symbols are synchronously displayed while constituting all or part of the jackpot symbol.

  For example, in the variable display device 9, an effective line (one effective line in the case of the present embodiment) that becomes a big hit when the symbol stops is determined in advance, and a part of the display area on the effective line is displayed. A state in which the variable display is performed in the display area on the active line that has not been stopped when the predetermined symbol is stopped (for example, the left, middle, and right variable display areas in the variable display device 9). Of these, all or some of the display areas on the valid line) Are in a variable display in synchronism while constituting all or part of the jackpot symbol (for example, the variable display is performed in all of the left, middle and right display areas in the variable display device 9, Same state) the variation displayed with the symbol are aligned is made that reach the display mode or reach.

  In addition, during the reach, an unusual performance may be performed with a lamp or sound. This production is called reach production. Further, in the case of reach, a character (an effect display imitating a person or the like, which is different from a design (decoration design etc.)) or a display mode (for example, color etc.) of the background image of the variable display device 9 is displayed. ) May change. This change in character display and background display mode is called reach effect display. In addition, some reach is set so that when it appears, a big hit is likely to occur compared to a normal reach. Such special (specific) reach is called super reach.

  Further, when the special symbol on the special symbol display 8 at the time of stoppage is a predetermined big hit symbol (short-time big-hit symbol) of the big-hit symbol, control is made to the short-time state in which the variation time is reduced after the big-hit gaming state. Is done. The short time state means that each of the variable display times (from the start of the change) of the special symbol display 8, the variable display device 9, and the normal symbol display 10 as compared to the normal game state (the low probability low base state described later). This is a control state in which the display result is derived and displayed at an early stage by shortening the time until the display result is derived and displayed. Furthermore, during the time-shortening state, the probability that the stop symbol in the normal symbol display 10 becomes a winning symbol is increased, and the opening time of the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is lengthened, and the number of times of opening is increased. In the short-time state, the display time of the fluctuation of the symbol is shortened, so that the number of reserved memories to be described later is exhausted early, and the start winnings that have occurred exceeding the upper limit (for example, “4”) of the number of reserved memories are invalidated. Since it is easy to derive and display the jackpot display result early in the short term, it is easy to derive and display the jackpot display result early, so the display result of the variable display is likely to become the display result of the jackpot symbol from a time efficient viewpoint It becomes a gaming state advantageous to the player.

  Further, when considering from the aspect of paying out the game ball according to the winning, in the short time state, the fluctuation display time of the normal symbol is shortened compared to the non-time short state, and the stop symbol in the normal symbol display 10 becomes the winning symbol. Based on the fact that the probability is increased, the opening time of the variable winning ball device 15 at the time of winning is increased, and the number of opening times of the variable winning ball device 15 at the time of hitting is increased once, it is variable compared with the normal gaming state. The winning ball device 15 is likely to be in an open state. Therefore, in the short-time state, winning in the start winning opening 14 (including both cases where the start winning is valid and invalid) is likely to occur, so the number of game balls (hit hit) into the game area 7 The ratio of the number of game balls (the number of payout balls) to be paid out as prize balls according to the winnings is larger than the normal game state. In general, the ratio of the number of paid-out balls by winning a prize to the number of shot balls is called “base”. For example, when there are 40 payout balls with respect to 100 shot balls, the base is 40 (%). In the case of this embodiment, for example, a time-short state having a higher base than a non-time-short state such as a normal gaming state is called a high base state, and conversely, a normal gaming state having a lower base compared to such a high base state Such a non-time-short state is called a low base state.

  In the case of this embodiment, as a big hit, a plurality of types of big hits such as a normal big hit, a first likelihood variation big hit, a second probability variation big hit, and a short time big hit are provided. In the following description, when “big hit” is simply indicated without specifying the types of big hits, it is a case where these multiple types of big hits are representatively shown.

  Normally, the big hit is a big hit that becomes a low probability state and a low base state by not being in a probable change state after the end of the big hit gaming state and not being in a short time state. Such a state with a low probability state and a low base state is called a low probability low base state. The first probable big hit is a big hit that becomes a probable state after the end of the big hit gaming state and becomes a high probability state and a low base state because it does not become a short-time state. Such a state having a high probability state and a low base state is referred to as a high probability low base state. The second probability variation big hit is a big hit that becomes a high probability state and a high base state by being in the probability variation state after the big hit gaming state is finished and being in the short time state. Such a state with a high probability state and a high base state is referred to as a highly accurate high base state. The short-time big hit is a big hit that does not become a probable change state after the big hit gaming state and becomes a low-probability state and a high base state by entering the short-time state. Such a state having a low probability state and a high base state is referred to as a low probability high base state.

  Whether the probability variation state (high probability state) or the non-probability variation state (low probability state) is determined based on whether or not the probability variation flag, which is a flag set in the probability variation state, is set. . Whether the time-short state (high base state) or the non-time-short state (low base state) is determined is determined based on whether or not the time-short flag, which is a flag set in the time-short state, is set. Is done.

  For each of the normal jackpot, the first probability variation jackpot, the second probability variation jackpot, and the hourly / temporary jackpot, each jackpot display result of the special symbol and the decorative symbol is predetermined so that the player can identify the type of the jackpot. ing. A jackpot display result indicating a normal jackpot is usually referred to as a jackpot display result. The jackpot display result indicating the first probability variation jackpot is referred to as a first probability variation jackpot display result. The jackpot display result indicating the second probability variation jackpot is referred to as a second probability variation jackpot display result. The big hit display result indicating the short and big jackpot is called the short and big hit display result.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the lottery display device 9 may perform re-lottery display during the decorative symbol variation display and when the jackpot gaming state is in effect. The re-lottery display is, for example, a temporary stop display with a display result (for example, a normal jackpot display result) in which the decorative symbol does not become a predetermined gaming state (for example, a gaming state such as a high probability state or a high base state). Later, it means displaying an image indicating whether or not a predetermined gaming state is to be drawn again. Here, the temporary stop is the timing before the end of the variable display for deriving and displaying the display result in the variable display. (Temporary stop) Refers to display. Further, in the re-lottery display, for example, a predetermined image other than the decorative pattern indicates that the result of the variable display does not become a predetermined gaming state (for example, a gaming state such as a high probability state or a high base state). After that, displaying an image indicating whether or not a predetermined gaming state is entered will be included.

  As a re-lottery display, a high-probability re-lottery display that indicates whether or not a high-probability state is obtained by indicating whether or not a probability change state is set, and a high-base state is set by indicating whether or not a time-short state is set. High-base re-lottery display indicating whether or not, and high-accuracy high-base re-lottery display indicating whether or not a high-accuracy high-base state is obtained by indicating whether or not a time-short state is likely to change. In this embodiment, any one of a normal state, a time-short state, a probability variation state, a probability variation state and a time-short state can be displayed. Can be executed). In such a re-lottery display, when the display result of the variable display becomes a jackpot display result, the player is provided with the pleasure of whether or not to be in a probable variation state and whether or not to be in the short-time state. Can do. For each of the high-accuracy re-lottery display, high-base re-lottery display, and high-accuracy high-base re-lottery display, when the display result of the variable display becomes the big hit display result, when it is not performed There is.

  In the case of this embodiment, the high-accuracy re-lottery display is performed at a predetermined first timing during the decorative symbol variation display. The high base re-lottery display and the high-accuracy high base re-lottery display are selectively performed at a predetermined second timing in the big hit gaming state. Thereby, the re-lottery display includes a primary re-lottery display performed at the first timing and a secondary re-lottery display performed at the second timing. Due to this timing relationship, the high-accuracy re-lottery display is called the primary re-lottery display, and the high-base re-lottery display and the high-accuracy high-base re-lottery display are each called the secondary re-lottery display.

  In addition, the basic execution order of the re-lottery display is such that after the high-precision re-lottery display is performed as the primary re-lottery display, the high-base re-lottery display is performed as the secondary re-lottery display. Thereby, after providing the player with the enjoyment of whether or not the high probability state is achieved, it is possible to provide the player with the enjoyment of whether or not the high base state is achieved. For this reason, of the secondary re-lottery display, the high-base re-lottery display is a normal re-lottery display performed in the sense of a basic secondary re-lottery display, and is called a normal secondary re-lottery display. On the other hand, in each of the secondary re-lottery display, when the primary re-lottery display is not performed, and when the result of the primary re-lottery display indicates that the state does not become a probable change state, This is a special re-lottery display performed in the sense of a loser revival, and is called a special re-lottery display.

  In this embodiment, the display result of the variable display that triggers the occurrence of the jackpot gaming state is either the first probability variable jackpot display result or the second probability variable jackpot display result for the display result of the decorative symbol variation display. When either of the primary re-lottery display and the secondary re-lottery display indicates that the state is likely to change, the high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state It becomes. In addition, with regard to the display result of the decorative symbol variation display, when the display result of the variation display that triggers the jackpot gaming state becomes either the short-term or big jackpot display result or the second probability variable jackpot display result, the second redraw When the display indicates that the time-short state is entered, when any state is entered, the high base state is entered.

  Further, for the variable display device 9, there is a case where a big hit notice, which is a notice effect for notifying that a big hit is given, is performed in the variable display that triggers the generation of the big hit.

The terminal board 160 includes at least a ball break terminal for introducing the output of the ball break detection switch 167 and outputting it externally, a prize ball terminal for outputting prize ball information (prize ball number signal) and a ball. A ball lending terminal for externally outputting lending information (ball lending number signal) is provided. Near the center, an information terminal board (information output board) 36 provided with terminals for outputting various information from the main board 31 to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is installed.

  The game ball stored in the storage tank 38 passes through a guide rail (not shown), and reaches a ball payout device covered with a payout case 40A through a curve rod. A ball break switch 187 as a game medium break detection means is provided on the upper part of the ball payout device. When the ball break switch 187 detects a ball break, the dispensing operation of the ball dispensing device stops. The ball break switch 187 is a switch for detecting the presence or absence of a game ball in the game ball passage, but the ball break detection switch 167 for detecting the shortage of supply balls in the storage tank 38 is also an upstream portion of the guide rail (in the storage tank 38). (Proximate part). When the ball break detection switch 167 detects a shortage of game balls, the game balls are replenished to the pachinko gaming machine 1 from the replenishment mechanism provided on the gaming machine installation island.

  When a large number of game balls as prizes based on winning prizes or game balls based on ball lending requests are paid out and the hitting ball supply tray 3 becomes full, the game balls are guided to the surplus ball receiving tray 4 through the surplus ball passage. When the game ball is further paid out, a sensing lever (not shown) presses a full tank switch (not shown) as a storage state detection means, and the full tank switch as a storage state detection means is turned on. In this state, the rotation of the payout motor in the ball payout device is stopped, the operation of the ball payout device is stopped, and the driving of the ball hitting device is also stopped.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a circuit configuration in the main board 31. 4 also shows a payout control board 37, a lamp driver board 35, an audio output board 70, an interface board 66, a relay board 77, and an effect control board 80 mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1. . The main board (game control board) 31 includes a game control microcomputer 560 serving as a basic circuit (corresponding to game control means) for controlling the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to a program, a gate switch 32a, a start port switch 14a, V An input driver circuit 58 for supplying signals from the winning switch 22, count switch 23, winning port switches 29a, 30a, 33a, 39a and all winning counting switches 34 to the game control microcomputer 560, and the variable winning ball apparatus 15 A solenoid 16 that opens and closes, a solenoid 21 that opens and closes the special variable winning ball apparatus 20, an output circuit 59 that drives a solenoid 21A for switching a path in the special winning opening according to a command from the game control microcomputer 560, and a game Control microcomputer 560 An information output circuit 53 for outputting various information signals to a device provided outside the pachinko game machine 1 such as a hall computer are mounted in accordance with a command al.

  It should be noted that switches such as the gate switch 32a, the start port switch 14a, the V winning switch 22, the count switch 23, the winning port switches 29a, 30a, 33a, 39a, the all winning count switch 34, and the like may be referred to as sensors. . That is, the name of the game medium detection means is not limited as long as it is a game medium detection means (game ball detection means in this example) that can detect a game ball. Each of the start port switch 14a, the count switch 23, and the winning port switches 29a, 30a, 33a, and 39a for detecting the winning is also a winning detecting means for detecting the winning of the game ball in the winning area.

  Even if a pass gate such as the gate 32 is used, a game ball enters the pass gate if the prize ball is paid out, and a switch (for example, a switch provided in the pass gate (for example, The gate switch 32a) becomes a winning detection means. In addition, a game ball won in the V winning area is detected by the V winning switch 22 and also by the count switch 23. Therefore, the number of game balls won in the special winning opening corresponds to the number detected by the count switch 23. Further, the game balls won in the V prize area are detected only by the V prize switch 22, and the number of game balls won in the big prize opening is determined by the number detected by the V prize switch 22 and the number detected by the count switch 23. You may make it become the sum. Further, the V winning area may not be provided, and the continuation right may always be generated in rounds other than the final round.

  The game control microcomputer 560 includes a ROM 54 for storing a game control (game progress control) program and the like, a RAM 55 as a storage means (variation data storage means for storing fluctuation data) used as a work memory, and a program. Therefore, the CPU 56 that performs the control operation and the I / O port 506 are included. The game control microcomputer 560 is a one-chip microcomputer. Note that the one-chip microcomputer may include at least the RAM 55 in addition to the CPU 56. Further, the ROM 54 and the I / O port 506 may be externally attached or built in.

  In the game control microcomputer 560, the CPU 56 executes control according to a program stored in the ROM 54. Therefore, what the game control microcomputer 560 described below executes (or performs processing) means that the CPU 56 executes control according to a program. The same applies to microcomputers mounted on substrates other than the main substrate 31. The game control means is realized by a game control microcomputer 560 including a CPU 56.

  The RAM 55 is a backup RAM as a non-volatile storage means, part or all of which is backed up by a backup power source created on the power supply substrate 910. That is, even when the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped, a part of the RAM 55 is kept for a predetermined period (until the backup power supply cannot be supplied because the capacitor as the backup power supply is discharged). Or the entire contents are preserved. In particular, at least data corresponding to the control state of the game (special symbol process flag or the like) and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are stored in the RAM 55 as backup data. The data corresponding to the control state is data necessary for restoring the control state before the occurrence of a power failure or the like based on the data when the power is restored after a power failure or the like. Further, data corresponding to the control state and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are defined as data indicating the progress state of the game. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the entire storage area of the RAM 55 is backed up.

  A reset signal from the power supply board 910 is input to the reset terminal of the game control microcomputer 560. The reset signal from the power supply board 910 is also input to the reset terminal of the payout control microcomputer. When the reset signal becomes high level, the game control microcomputer 560 and the payout control microcomputer become operable, and when the reset signal becomes low level, the game control microcomputer 560 and the payout control microcomputer stop operating. It becomes a state. Therefore, during the period in which the reset signal is at a high level, an allowance signal that allows the operation of the game control microcomputer 560 and the payout control microcomputer is output, and during the period in which the reset signal is at a low level, An operation stop signal for stopping the operations of the game control microcomputer 560 and the payout control microcomputer is output. A reset circuit may be mounted on each electrical component control board (including the main board 31), or a reset circuit is mounted on one or more of the plurality of electrical component control boards, and a reset signal is output therefrom. You may make it supply to another electric component control board.

  Further, a power-off signal indicating that the power supply voltage from the power supply board 910 has dropped to a predetermined value or less is input to the input port of the game control microcomputer 560 via the payout control board 37. In addition, a clear signal indicating that a clear switch for instructing to clear the contents of the RAM is operated is input to the input port of the game control microcomputer 560.

  The clear signal is branched in the main board 31 and is also supplied to the payout control board 37. Note that the state of the clear signal input by the game control microcomputer 560 via the input port may be output to the payout control board 37 via the output port.

  The game control microcomputer 560 transmits an effect control command (effect control signal) as a control signal for instructing effect control including display control, sound control, and lamp control to the effect control board 80. The effect control board 80 receives an effect control command from the game control microcomputer 560 via the relay board 77 and performs an electric component control means such as an effect control microcomputer 800 for performing display control in the variable display device 9. Is installed.

  The effect control microcomputer 800 includes a ROM 84 that stores a display control program, a RAM 85 that is used as a work memory, a CPU 86 that performs a display control operation according to the program, and an I / O port 87. This effect control microcomputer 800 controls various display effects such as the variable display of the variable display device 9 in response to the effect control command, the prize ball lamp 51, the ball-out lamp 52, the decoration lamp 25, and the ceiling lamp. Control relating to various effects including control of 28a, left frame lamp 28b and right frame lamp 28c (lamp control) and game sound generation control (sound control) using the speaker 27 is performed.

  In addition to the effect control microcomputer 800, the effect control board 80 is mounted with a VDP, a character ROM, and a VRAM (not shown). The VDP is a processing device having a display control function for performing image display and a high-speed drawing function, and performs display control of the variable display device 9. CPU 86 reads necessary data from character ROM in accordance with the received effect control command. The character ROM is for storing image data to be displayed on the variable display device 9 in advance.

  Then, the CPU 86 outputs the data read from the character ROM to the VDP. The VDP operates based on data input from the CPU 86.

When a low level signal is input for a predetermined period, the reset controller 502 outputs a predetermined initialization signal to the CPU 56 and the random number circuits 503a and 503b to reset the game control microcomputer 560.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the game control microcomputer 560 is equipped with two random number circuits 503a and 503b having different ranges of values of random numbers that can be generated. The random number circuit 503a is a random number circuit (hereinafter also referred to as a 12-bit random number circuit) that generates a 12-bit pseudo-random number. The 12-bit random number circuit 503a has a function of generating a random number having a value within a range that can be generated by 12 bits (that is, a range from 0 to 4095).

The sound control and the lamp control are performed in accordance with the production of (synchronized).

  The random number circuit 503 is a hardware circuit that is used to generate a random number for determination to determine whether or not to win a jackpot based on the display result of the variation display of the special symbol and the decorative symbol. The random number circuit 503 updates numerical data in accordance with a set update rule within a numerical range in which an initial value (for example, 0) and an upper limit value (for example, 256) are set. On the basis of the fact that the start winning time generated in step 1 is the time of reading (extraction) of the numerical data, the read numerical data has a random number generation function that becomes a random value.

  The game control microcomputer 560 reads the numerical data from the random number circuit 503 as the random number value R1 when the start winning to the start winning opening 14 occurs, and generates a big hit display result as a specific display result based on the numerical data. It is determined whether or not to make a big hit. When it is determined that the game is a big hit, the gaming state is shifted to a big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state advantageous to the player. Whether the random number generated by the random number circuit 503 is a big hit such as a random number for probability variation determination for determining whether or not to make a probability variation, or a random number for variation pattern determination for determining a variation pattern of a special symbol. It may be used as a random number for determination other than determination.

  The random number circuit 503 includes a selection setting function (initial value selection setting function and upper limit selection selection function) of numerical data update range, a numerical data update rule selection setting function, and numerical data updating performed by the user. It has various functions such as a rule switching function. With such a function, the random number circuit 503 can improve the randomness of the generated random number.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 560 has a function of setting an initial value of the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 503. For example, the game control microcomputer 560 stores the game control microcomputer 560 stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 55. Initial value of numerical data that the random number circuit 503 updates numerical data obtained by performing a predetermined calculation using an ID number (an ID number assigned with a different numerical value for each product of the game control microcomputer 560). Set as. Thereby, the randomness of the random number generated by the random number circuit 503 can be further improved. Further, when setting the initial value, by performing a predetermined calculation using the ID number, it is possible to make it difficult to recognize the initial value of the random number only by looking at the ID number of the game control microcomputer 560. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably prevent the transition condition to the big hit state from being illegally established by an action such as generating a capture signal using a radio signal to the pachinko gaming machine 1. Can be improved.

  Next, a random counter as numerical value updating means for updating numerical data using software in order to generate random numbers used for control in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a random counter used by the game control microcomputer 560 to generate random numbers used for game control. FIG. 6 shows random counters R2 to R7 as an example of the random counter.

  As described above, whether or not to make a big hit (hit determination) is performed using R1 that is a random value generated by the random number circuit 503 that is a hardware circuit. The random value used is generated using a numerical value updated by software executed by the game control microcomputer 560.

  R2 is a big hit of any one of the normal big hit, the first positive variation big hit, the second positive variation big hit, and the short time big hit when it is determined in advance that the big hit is generated by the big hit determination using R1. It is a numerical data update means (random counter) for generating random numbers used for determining the type of jackpot and determining the jackpot symbol of a special symbol. R2 is configured to count up from “0” to “99” which is the upper limit thereof, and to count up again from “0”. This R2 is added and updated by 1 every 2 msec.

  When a valid start winning (start winning when the number of reserved memories has not reached the upper limit number) is detected by the start switch 14a, each of the aforementioned R1 and R2 is extracted accordingly and the stored data is stored. Is stored in the RAM 55. For R1, whether or not the extracted value of R1 stored in the RAM 55 matches the predetermined jackpot determination value at the stage before the special symbol display on the special symbol display 8 is started. Is judged. In this determination, if they match, it is determined to generate a big hit using the display result of the variable display as the big hit display result, and the above-described big hit gaming state control is performed. If they do not coincide with each other, it is determined that the display result of the variable display is not a big hit (becomes a dismissal display result), and the gaming state does not change. In a low probability state other than the probability variation state, the big hit determination value is set to one numerical value, for example. In a high probability state that is a probabilistic change state, the big hit judgment value is set to a plurality of numerical values (in this case, the big hit judgment value is set so that the numerical order does not become an adjacent numerical value in order to prevent bias in the big hit judgment value. The probability of hitting a jackpot is improved as compared with the low probability state.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 8 to be described later, the value of R2 is allocated and associated with the type of jackpot gaming state and the type of jackpot symbol of the special symbol. The extracted value of R2 stored as described above is read at a predetermined timing before starting the variable symbol display of special symbols and decorative symbols, and any one of a plurality of predetermined jackpot type / symbol determination values It is judged whether they match. The jackpot type corresponding to the extracted value of R2 is selected and determined as the jackpot generated as a result of the variable display, and the jackpot symbol corresponding to the extracted value of R2 is derived and displayed as a display result in the fluctuation display of the special symbol. Selection is decided. In the case of the present embodiment, the relationship between the big hit type and the big hit symbol is predetermined in a one-to-one relationship for each of the normal big hit, the first positive variation big hit, the second positive variation big hit, and the short-time big hit. The jackpot type and jackpot symbol are selected and determined at the same time based on the extracted value of R2.

  R3 causes the special symbol display 8 to display any type of outlier symbol when it is determined that no big hit is generated by the jackpot determination using R1, that is, when it is determined in advance that it will be out of date. It is a numerical data update means (random counter) for generating a random number used to determine whether or not. R3 is configured to count up from “0”, count up to its upper limit “5”, and then count up again from “0”, and add 1 every 2 msec and interrupt processing surplus time. Updated. The value of R3 is assigned and associated with each of the special symbols. R3 is extracted at a predetermined timing before starting the variable symbol display of the special symbol, and the special symbol corresponding to the value of R3 selected by lottery is determined as the off symbol.

  Here, the count-up operation in the remaining interrupt processing time performed in a predetermined random counter such as R3 will be described. The CPU 56 of the game control microcomputer 560 performs various controls by periodically executing interrupt processing. For a certain interrupt processing, after the interrupt processing is executed, the period until the start of the next execution of the interrupt processing is Waiting for interrupt processing. Repeating the random counter addition update process using an infinite loop during the interrupt process surplus time waiting for such interrupt process is called counting up the interrupt process surplus time.

  R4 is a numerical data update means (random) used to generate random numbers used to randomly select and determine a variation pattern that is a variation display pattern of the special symbol display 8 and the variation display device 9 (referred to as variation pattern determination). Counter). R4 is configured to count up from “0”, count up to its upper limit “99”, and then count up again from “0”, and once every 2 msec and interrupt processing surplus time. Added and updated. Based on the value of the counter extracted from R4 at a predetermined timing such as at the start of special symbol variation, based on the relationship between the predetermined count value and the variation pattern, from among a plurality of predetermined variation patterns The variation pattern used for variation display is selected and determined. Each fluctuation pattern has a predetermined fluctuation display time (the time from the start of fluctuation display until the display result is derived and displayed, also called the fluctuation time). The variable display time is selected and determined.

  R5 determines the reach display mode described above during the variable display when the variable display device 9 is determined not to generate a big hit by the big hit determination using R1, that is, when it is determined to be out of play. For reach determination to generate a random number used to randomly determine whether to form (hereinafter referred to as “reach out”) or not to form a reach display mode (hereinafter referred to as “non-reach out”) Numerical data updating means (random counter). R5 is configured to count up from “0”, count up to its upper limit “39”, and then count up again from “0”, and add 1 every 2 msec and interrupt processing surplus time. Updated. At the stage before determining the variation pattern, the value of R5 is extracted, and it is determined whether or not the extracted value of R5 matches a predetermined reach determination value. If these values match, it is determined that the reach is out of control, and the reach state is controlled during the variable display where the display result is out of control. On the other hand, if these values do not match, it is determined that the non-reach is out of control, and control is performed so as not to reach the reach state during the variable display where the display result is out of place.

  R6 is a numerical data updating means (random counter) for generating random numbers used to randomly determine in advance whether or not to generate a hit for the variable display of the normal symbol display 10. R6 is configured to count up from an initial value such as “0”, count up to its upper limit “11”, and then count up again from the initial value such as “0”, and every 2 msec. One is added and updated. When a valid start passage is detected by the gate switch 32a, the R6 random number is extracted and stored in the RAM 55 as passage storage data. Then, at the stage before starting the fluctuation display of the normal symbol, it is determined whether or not the extracted value matches a predetermined hit determination value. The above-described control is performed, and in the case of a mismatch, it is determined to be off and the above-described control is not performed.

  R7 is a numerical data updating means (random counter) for generating a random number used to determine whether or not to execute the re-lottery display described above when it is determined to be a big hit. R7 is configured to count up from “0”, count up to its upper limit “19”, and then count up again from “0”, and add 1 every 2 msec and interrupt processing surplus time. Updated. R7 is extracted at a predetermined timing before starting the special symbol variation display, and the relationship between the presence / absence of re-lottery display (whether or not to execute) and the type of re-lottery display to be executed is determined from the extracted value. Is determined using the predetermined re-lottery display selection table and whether or not to perform the re-lottery display and the type of re-lottery display when the re-lottery display is executed.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining an example of various random counters used by the effect control microcomputer 800 for effect control. FIG. 7 shows, as an example of a random counter, a random counter RT for determining the content of effects and random counters RU-1 to RU-3 for determining a stop symbol for a decorative symbol.

  RT is numerical data updating means (random counter) for determining the contents of effects for generating random numbers used to randomly determine the contents of various effects performed by the variable display device 9. RT is configured to count up from “0”, count up to “232” which is the upper limit thereof, and count up again from “0”, and is incremented and updated by 1 every 33 msec. Based on the counter value extracted from RT at a predetermined timing, the production contents are selected and determined based on the relationship between the predetermined counter value and the production contents. For example, the selection of the type of the hit display result and the type of the display error result when performing the re-lottery display is performed using RT.

  RU-1 to RU-3 are numerical value updating means for determining a decorative symbol stop symbol for generating a random number used to randomly determine a stop symbol of the decorative symbol in advance for the variable display device 9 (random Counter). RU-1 is used to determine the stop symbol of the left symbol. RU-2 is used to determine the stop symbol of the middle symbol. RU-3 is used to determine the stop symbol of the right symbol. For each of RU-1 to RU-3, RU-1 is updated every 33 msec, RU-2 is updated every carry of RU-1, and RU-3 is added and updated every carry of RU-2. After being updated and updated to 9 which is the upper limit, it is updated again from 0.

  The decorative symbols are changed (updated) and displayed in accordance with a predetermined symbol arrangement order. In the predetermined lost symbol determination data table, numerical data for determining a decorative symbol stop symbol is associated with each of a plurality of types of decorative symbols, and the game control microcomputer 560 determines a big hit (by R1). In the case where it is determined not to be a big hit in the determination), and it is determined that it will not be reached by the reach determination, and it is determined not to reach the reach state, the RU-1 to RU-1 at a predetermined timing. The symbol corresponding to the random number extracted from each of RU-3 is determined as a stop symbol that is a variation display result of the left, middle, and right decorative symbols. When the stop symbol corresponding to the extracted random number coincides with the symbol of the big hit by chance, correction is performed so that the symbol becomes a loss symbol (for example, correction by shifting the right symbol by one symbol) to stop each symbol. The symbol is determined. In addition, in the case of such non-reach shift, if the stop symbol corresponding to the extracted random number is accidentally reached, the correction is made so that the non-reach shift symbol becomes (for example, the right design is changed). Each symbol is determined by one symbol shift correction). Further, when it is determined that the reach state is reached by the reach determination, the symbol corresponding to the random number extracted from RU-1 among the random numbers extracted at the above-described timing is reached. The symbols for the left and right decorative symbols forming the state are determined as stop symbols, and the symbol corresponding to the numerical data matching the counter value extracted from RU-2 is determined as the stop symbol for the middle symbol. Also in this case, when the combination of the big hit symbol is accidentally made, each stop symbol is determined by correcting the symbol so that it becomes an off symbol (for example, correcting the middle symbol by one symbol).

  Further, when it is determined that the big hit is determined by the big hit determination by the game control microcomputer 560, and it is determined that the normal big hit is determined by the big hit type / hit symbol determination (determination by R2), predetermined Based on the random numbers extracted from RU-1 at the timing, the variation display results of the left, middle, and right decorative symbols are randomly determined as a combination of jackpot symbols that will become doublet. More specifically, the combination of the big hit symbol corresponding to the normal big hit needs to be a doublet of any of the symbols “0” to “4”, “6”, “8”. The relationship between the value of RU-1 and the normal jackpot symbol is stored in the normal jackpot symbol determination data table. When it is determined to be a normal jackpot, “0” to “4”, “6”, “8” corresponding to the random numbers extracted from RU-1 using the normal jackpot symbol determination data table. Is selected as the normal jackpot symbol, and the doublet of the symbol is determined as the normal jackpot display result by the left, middle and right symbols. In the case of this embodiment, the combination of the big hit symbols is fixedly determined in advance for each of the first probability variation big hit, the second probability variation big hit, and the time shortage big hit. The jackpot display result is determined to be a combination of the corresponding double-eyed symbols without using RU1 to RU3.

  Further, as will be described later, RU-1 to RU-3 are also used to determine a variable display result that is derived and displayed before the big hit gaming state when the re-lottery display is performed.

  Next, the characteristics of each of the big hits provided in a plurality of types will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the characteristics of various jackpots in a table format.

In addition, when a big hit is made, the low probability and low base state is controlled after the big hit.

  For the first probable big hit, it is determined that the display result of the special symbol is “5”, and the display result of the decorative symbol is determined to be “5” (no lottery display is performed). If). Further, when the first probability variation big hit is reached, the high probability low base state is controlled after the big hit.

  With respect to the second probable big hit, it is determined that the display result of the special symbol is “7”, and the display result of the decorative symbol is determined to be a “7” doublet (the re-lottery display is not performed). If). Further, when the second probability variation big hit is reached, after the big hit, the high-accuracy high-base state is controlled.

  In FIG. 9, the following settings are made for the selection ratio of the jackpot type for each probability / base state.

  The relationship between the probability state when the jackpot is hit and the jackpot that becomes the high base state is as follows. Taking the low base state as an example, in the low base state, there is a probability of determining the short time big hit and the second probability variable big hit when the high base state is reached after the big hit gaming state is finished in the high probability low base state controlled to the high probability state. 40%, low probability controlled to low probability state In the low probability low base state, the probability of determining the short time big hit and the second probable big hit after reaching the big base game state after the big hit gaming state is 30%, and controlled to the high probability state The ratio of determining to control to the high base state after the big hit gaming state is higher than when controlling to the low probability state. Taking the high base state as an example, in the high base state, the probability of deciding the short-time big hit and the second probable big hit is controlled in the low probability state in the high probability high base state controlled to the high probability state. The probability of determining the short and large jackpot and the second probability variation jackpot in the low-accuracy high-base state is 60%, and the big hit when controlled to the high-probability state is greater than when controlled to the low-probability state The ratio of determining to control to the high base state after the gaming state is high. As described above, in the data table of FIG. 9, the ratio of determining to control to the high base state after the big hit gaming state is higher when controlled to the high probability state than when controlled to the low probability state. The settings are as follows.

  In addition, the relationship between the base state when the jackpot is hit and the jackpot that becomes the high base state is as follows. Taking the low probability state as an example, in the low probability state, in the low probability high base state controlled to the high base state, the probability of determining the short time big hit and the second probability variable big hit that becomes a high base after the big hit gaming state ends is 60. %, Low base state is controlled Low probability low base state is a high base state with 30% probability of determining the short time big hit and the second probable big jackpot when becoming the high base after the big hit gaming state The rate at which it is determined to control to the high base state after the big hit gaming state is different from when the time is controlled to the low base state. Taking the high probability state as an example, in the high probability state, the probability of deciding the time-shortage big hit and the second probable big hit is controlled in the low base state in the high probability high base state controlled to the high base state. The probability of determining the short and large jackpot and the second probability variation jackpot in the high-accuracy low base state is 40%, and when controlled to the high base state than when controlled to the low base state, The ratio determined to control to the high base state after the big hit gaming state is different. As described above, in the data table of FIG. 9, it is determined that the high base state is controlled after the big hit gaming state when the high base state is controlled than when the low base state is controlled. The ratio is set to be high.

  Further, the relationship between the probability state when the jackpot is hit and the jackpot that becomes a high probability state is as follows. Taking the low base state as an example, in the low base state, there is a probability of determining the first and second probable variable jackpots that become a high probability state after the big hit gaming state in the high probability low base state controlled to a high probability state. The probability of determining the first and second probable big hits that become a high probability state after the jackpot gaming state ends in the low probability low base state controlled to 70%, a low probability state is 20%, and is controlled to a high probability state. The ratio of determining to control to the high probability state after the big hit gaming state is higher than when the state is controlled to the low probability state. Taking the high base state as an example, in the high base state, the probability of determining the first and second probable big hits in the high probability high base state controlled to the high probability state is 80%, and the probability is controlled to the low probability state. The probability of determining the first and second probability variation jackpots in the low-probability high-base state is 30%, and when controlled to the high-probability state, compared to when controlled to the low-probability state, The ratio of determining to control to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is high.

It is set to become.

  The relationship between the base state when the jackpot is hit and the jackpot that is a high probability state is as follows. Taking the low-probability state as an example, in the low-probability state, the probability of determining the first and second probable variable jackpots that become a high-probability state in the low-probability high-base state controlled to the high-base state becomes high after the big-hit gaming state. 30%, low base state is controlled to low base state The probability of determining the first and second probable big hits that become high probability state after the big hit gaming state in the low probability low base state is 20%, and controlled to the high base state The ratio of determining to control to the high probability state after the big hit gaming state is higher than when controlling to the low base state. Taking the high probability state as an example, in the high probability state, the probability of determining the first and second probability variation jackpots in the high probability high base state controlled to the high base state is 80%, and the control is performed to the low base state. The probability of determining the first and second probability variation jackpots in the high-probability low base state is 70%, and when controlled to the high base state, compared to when controlled to the low base state, The ratio of determining to control to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is high. As described above, in the data table of FIG. 9, the ratio of deciding to control to the high probability state after the big hit gaming state is higher in the case of being controlled to the high base state than in the case of being controlled to the low base state. It is set to become.

  Next, an effect control command transmitted from the main board 31 to the effect control board 80 will be described. FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of the effect control command in a table format.

  First, the variation pattern command will be described. The variation pattern command is basically a command for designating (specifying) a variation pattern related to variation display. In this embodiment, the variation pattern command further specifies (specifies) information related to a re-lottery display as described later.

  The variation pattern is a variation display in which the variation display result is an out-of-range display result. Among the variable displays that result in out-of-order display, multiple types of reach out-of-change patterns determined in advance corresponding to the out-of-reach fluctuation display that is out-of-reach fluctuation display, and the fluctuation display in which the fluctuation display result is a jackpot display result. And a plurality of types of big hit variation patterns determined in advance.

  As a data table for selecting a variation pattern to be executed from among a plurality of variation patterns, a variation pattern table is usually provided corresponding to each of the determination of deviation, the determination of reach deviation, and the determination of jackpot. . Normally, the fluctuation pattern table for determining the deviation, the fluctuation pattern table for determining the reach deviation, and the fluctuation pattern table for determining the big hit are each the fluctuation for the time reduction when the fluctuation display is performed in the time reduction state. A shortened variation pattern table for selecting a shortened variation pattern that is a pattern, and a non-shortened variation pattern for selecting a non-shortened variation pattern that is a variation pattern for non-short-time operation when variation display is performed in a non-short-time state. Table and included. A shortened variation pattern table is used in the short-time state, and a non-shortened variation pattern table is used in the non-short-time state.

  When it is determined that the big hit is determined to be out of reach and the reach is determined not to be reached, the variation pattern table for determining the disparity is usually determined (the reduced variation pattern table and The non-shortening variation pattern table is selectively used), and the normal variation variation pattern is normally selected and determined based on the extracted value of the random counter R4 for determining the variation pattern from a plurality of types of normal variation variation patterns. A variation pattern command corresponding to the deviation variation pattern is selected.

  In addition, when it is determined that the hit is determined to be lost and the reach determination is determined to be reach, a variation pattern table for determining reach loss (a shortened variation pattern depending on whether or not the time is short). Table and non-shortened variation pattern table are used separately), and the reach deviation variation pattern is selected and determined based on the extracted value of the random counter R4 for variation pattern determination from among a plurality of types of reach variation variation patterns, A variation pattern command corresponding to the out-of-reach variation pattern is selected.

  In addition, when it is determined that the jackpot is determined to be a big hit, a variation pattern table for determining the big hit (a shortened variation pattern table and a non-shortened variation pattern table are used properly depending on whether or not the time is short). The big hit variation pattern is selected and determined based on the extracted value of the random counter R4 for determining the fluctuation pattern from a plurality of types of big hit fluctuation patterns, and the fluctuation pattern command corresponding to the big hit fluctuation pattern is selected.

  For each of the big hit variation patterns provided for multiple types, there is no primary re-lottery / no secondary re-lottery designation command, no primary re-lottery / normal secondary re-lottery designation command, no primary re-lottery / special 2 Next re-lottery designation command, primary re-lottery designation command / secondary re-lottery designation command, primary second lottery designation / normal secondary re-lottery designation command, primary re-lottery designation command, special secondary re-lottery designation A designated command is provided. The variation pattern command selected when the variation display is executed is selected and determined from such variation pattern commands based on the variation pattern selection decision result and the re-lottery display selection decision result.

  For each of the big hit fluctuation patterns, the command for specifying no primary re-lottery / no secondary re-lottery is a command for specifying that the primary re-lottery display and the secondary re-lottery display are not performed. For each of the big hit fluctuation patterns, the designation command with no primary re-lottery / normal secondary re-lottery is a command for designating that the primary re-lottery display is not performed and that the normal secondary re-lottery display is performed. For each of the big hit fluctuation patterns, the designation command without primary re-lottery / special secondary re-lottery is a command for designating that the primary re-lottery display is not performed and that the special secondary re-lottery display is performed. The primary re-lottery / non-secondary re-lottery designation command is a command that designates primary re-lottery display and special secondary re-lottery display. The primary re-lottery / normal secondary re-lottery designation command is a command for designating primary re-lottery display and normal secondary re-lottery display. The primary re-lottery / special secondary re-lottery designation command is a command for designating primary re-lottery display and special secondary re-lottery display.

  The variation pattern command selected when the variation display is executed is selected and determined from such variation pattern commands based on the variation pattern selection decision result and the re-lottery display selection decision result.

  In the case of this embodiment, for each of a plurality of types of jackpot variation patterns, the variation pattern designating the presence of the primary re-lottery display is a variation display compared to the variation pattern designating the absence of the primary re-lottery display. A large amount of time is set for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds). This is because the primary re-lottery display is performed during the display of the decorative symbols, and it is necessary to secure a time during which the primary re-lottery display can be clearly performed. Further, in the variation pattern shown in this embodiment, the primary re-lottery display is performed during the variation display, whereas the secondary re-lottery display is performed in the ending display of the big hit gaming state after the end of the variation display. The specified variable display time does not include the variable display time required for the secondary re-lottery display. For the same type of big hit variation pattern, the variation display time may be set to be the same for the variation pattern designating the presence of the primary re-lottery display and the variation pattern designating the absence of the primary re-lottery display. Good.

  As described above, the variation pattern command specifies (identifies) information related to the re-lottery display such as whether or not the re-lottery display is executed in addition to the information on the variation pattern.

  The symbol information command is a command used for designating (specifying) a decorative symbol variation display result, and is a command for designating information indicating the determination result of jackpot determination and the selection result of the jackpot type. The symbol information command includes a loss designation command, a normal jackpot designation command, an hourly and jackpot designation command, a first probability variation jackpot designation command, and a second probability variation jackpot designation command.

  The miss designation command is a symbol information command that designates a miss. The normal jackpot designation command is a command for designating that the jackpot is normally set. The short / long jackpot designation command is a command indicating that it is a short / long jackpot. The first probability variation jackpot designation command is a command indicating that the first probability variation jackpot is set. The second probability variation jackpot designation command is a command indicating that the second probability variation jackpot is set.

  Next, an example of effect display on the variable display device 9 will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16. FIG. 15 is a display screen diagram illustrating a display example in which the primary re-lottery display and the normal secondary re-lottery display are executed. In FIG. 15, (A) to (M) show a series of effect displays.

  As shown in (B) and (C), the left, middle, and right symbols 91, 92, and 93 are simultaneously displayed on the left and right symbols 91, 92, and 93 on the variable display device 9 as shown in FIG. The decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in the order of 91, right symbol 93, and middle symbol 92, and the display result of the variable display is derived and displayed. When the first re-lottery display is performed, the normal jackpot display result is temporarily stopped (temporary stop display) as shown in (C), and thereafter, the decorative symbol variation display is again shown in (D). By being started, the first re-lottery display is started. When the primary re-lottery display is performed, a message indicating a lottery method of the primary re-lottery display as a high-accuracy re-lottery display, such as “probability change when 5”, is displayed.

  Then, as shown in (E), the decorative symbol variation display is stopped and one of the jackpot display results is derived and displayed, so that the display result in the first re-lottery display is derived and displayed. As shown, a big hit start display indicating that the big hit gaming state is started is performed. Then, as shown in (G), the fact that it is the first round is displayed and the jackpot gaming state is started. On the other hand, when the primary re-lottery display is not performed, the display result is derived and displayed without the decorative symbols being temporarily displayed. FIG. 15 shows an example where the first re-lottery display result is displayed as a result of the first re-lottery display by deriving and displaying the first probable big hit display result (“5”). . Here, the completion of the primary re-lottery display means that, in the primary re-lottery display, the jackpot is changed (raised) from the big hit that becomes the low probability low base state to the big hit that becomes the probability change state.

  The first probability variation jackpot display result is the winning display result of the first re-lottery display. When the first probability variation jackpot display result is derived and displayed, as shown in FIG. A display indicating that the state of probability change is brought about by the result of the re-lottery display is performed. On the other hand, for the first re-lottery display, the second probability variable jackpot display result and the time-short jackpot display result are not selected as display results to be derived and displayed. One of the normal jackpot display results is a display result that is out of the primary re-lottery display, and when the normal jackpot display result is derived and displayed, a display indicating that the probability variation state is not achieved is performed.

  Thereafter, as shown in (H), the round of the big hit gaming state proceeds. When the jackpot gaming state ends as shown in (I), the sub-game format as shown in (J) to (M) in the period in which the ending display for displaying the fact that the jackpot gaming state is ended is performed. A secondary re-lottery display is performed where a re-lottery display is performed. FIG. 15 shows a display example when the normal secondary re-lottery display is performed in the secondary re-lottery display.

  Normally, in the secondary re-lottery display, first, as shown in (J), the arrival point indicating the presence or absence of the short time such as “No time” or “Time short” is shown at the destination, and the destination is selected in a random manner. The route 95 is displayed, a human-like character 94 traveling along the route 95 is displayed, and the normal secondary re-lottery as a high-base re-lottery display such as “to reach the destination” is displayed. A message indicating the lottery method for display is displayed. Here, “no time reduction” is a loss display result indicating that the normal second lottery display does not result in a time reduction state, and is referred to as a timeless display result. On the other hand, the “time shortage” is a hit display result indicating that the normal re-lottery display results in a short time state as a lottery result, and is referred to as a time short display result.

  Then, after the character 94 is displayed at any starting point of the route 95 as shown in (K), a display for moving on the route 95 is performed. Then, as shown in (L), a display to reach the arrival point indicating the state controlled after the end of the big hit gaming state is performed. In the example of FIG. 15, the result of the normal secondary re-lottery display such as “acquisition of time reduction” becomes a win display result as shown in (M) in response to reaching the arrival point of “time reduction”, A display indicating that the time is short is displayed. On the other hand, when the arrival point of “no time reduction” is reached, a display indicating that the result of the secondary re-lottery display is a disappointing display result and the time reduction state is not achieved is performed.

  And as shown to (M) of FIG. 15, the display which shows the state after completion | finish of jackpot game state is performed. In the example of FIG. 15, the winning game state such as “determined as a probable change / shorter time state” is completed by acquiring the probable change state based on the first re-lottery display result and acquiring the shorter time state based on the second re-lottery display result. It is later shown that the state of probability change and the state of short time (highly accurate and high base state) are obtained. Here, the completion of the normal secondary re-lottery display means that the normal secondary re-lottery display is changed (increased) from the big hit that becomes the low probability low base state to the big hit that becomes the short-time state.

  FIG. 16 is a display screen diagram illustrating a display example in which the primary re-lottery display and the special secondary re-lottery display are executed. In FIG. 16, a series of effect displays are shown in (A) to (M).

  In FIG. 16, the states (A) to (D) from when the variable display is started to when the primary re-lottery display is executed are the same as those in FIG. Then, as shown in (E), when the result of deviating display of the primary re-lottery display is derived and displayed, a display indicating that the probability change state such as “sorry” is not made is performed, and then in (F). As shown, a big hit start display indicating that the big hit gaming state is started is performed. Then, as shown in (G), after the fact that the first round is displayed and the big hit gaming state is started, when the big hit gaming state is finished as shown in (I), a period during which the ending display is performed. In (2), the secondary re-lottery display as shown in (J) to (M) is performed. FIG. 16 shows a display example when special secondary re-lottery display is performed in the secondary re-lottery display.

  In the special secondary re-lottery display, first, as shown in (J), the arrival indicating the presence or absence of a probability change state and a time reduction state such as “normal”, “time reduction”, “probability change”, and “probability change time reduction” at the destination A point 96 is displayed, a route 96 in which the destination is selected in an ambiguous manner is displayed, and a human character 94 that travels along the route 96 is displayed. Further, a high level such as “become the destination state” is displayed. A message indicating the lottery method of the special secondary re-lottery display as the high accuracy base re-lottery display is displayed. Here, “normal” is an off-line display result indicating that a normal gaming state is set as a lottery result of the special secondary re-lottery display, and is referred to as a normal display result. The “probable change time reduction” is a first hit display result indicating that the special secondary re-lottery display results in a probabilistic state and a short time state, and is called a probable change / short time display result. “Probability change” is a second hit display result indicating that the special secondary re-lottery display results in a probability change state as a lottery result, and is called a probability change display result. “Time reduction” is a third hit display result indicating that the special secondary re-lottery display results in a time reduction state as a lottery result, and is called a time reduction display result.

  Here, the completion of the special secondary re-lottery display is any one of the short-time state, the probability variation state, and the probability variation state and the time-short state from the big hit that becomes the low probability low base state in the special secondary re-lottery display. It means that it will be changed (grow up) to the jackpot that will be in the state of. In the present embodiment, the rise to the big hit that becomes a promiscuous state and the short-time state in the special secondary re-lottery display is called the first rise, and the big win that becomes the promiscuous state in the special secondary re-lottery display is made. Is called the second rise, and the rise to the big hit that is in the short-time state in the special secondary re-lottery display is called the third rise.

  Then, after the character 94 is displayed at any starting point of the path 96 as shown in (K), a display for moving on the path 96 is performed. Then, as shown in (L), a display to reach the arrival point indicating the state controlled after the end of the big hit gaming state is performed.

  In the example of FIG. 16, in response to reaching the arrival point of “probability change short”, as shown in (M), the result of the special secondary re-lottery display such as “Acquire time reduction! A hit display result is obtained, and a display is made to indicate that the state is likely to change and the time is short. A display in which the result of the special secondary re-lottery display is the first winning display result is referred to as a first rising display. On the other hand, when the arrival point of “normal” is reached, a display indicating that the result of the special secondary re-lottery display is an outlier display result and neither the probability variation state nor the short-time state is achieved. When the arrival point of “probability change” is reached, the result of the special secondary re-lottery display becomes the second hit display result, and a display indicating that the probability change state is entered is performed. A display in which the result of the special secondary re-lottery display in this way becomes the second winning display result is referred to as a second rising display. Further, when the arrival point of “short time” is reached, the special secondary re-lottery display result becomes the third hit display result, and a display indicating that the short time state is reached is performed. A display in which the result of the special secondary re-lottery display is the third winning display result is referred to as a third rising display.

  Note that the normal secondary re-lottery display and the special secondary re-lottery display are not limited to the display examples shown in the figure, and that the normal secondary re-lottery display and the special secondary re-lottery display are performed respectively. Any display may be used as long as the display can be grasped by the player.

  In this embodiment, since a plurality of types of primary re-lottery display and secondary re-lottery display are provided as the re-lottery display, the secondary re-lottery display is performed even after the primary re-lottery display is performed. Is performed, it is possible to further enhance the player's interest in the transition of the gaming state after the end of the specific gaming state.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described. 17 and 18 show the main process executed by the game control microcomputer 560 in response to the start of power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the reset signal to the game control microcomputer 560 becoming high level. It is a flowchart which shows. When the input level of the reset terminal to which the reset signal is input becomes high level, the game control microcomputer 560 executes a security check process that is a process for confirming whether the contents of the program are valid, The main processing after S (hereinafter simply referred to as S) 1 is started. In the main process, the game control microcomputer 560 first performs necessary initial settings.

  In the initial setting process, the game control microcomputer 560 first sets the interruption prohibited (S1). Next, an interrupt mode for maskable interrupts is set (S2), and a stack pointer designation address is set in the stack pointer (S3). In S2, the address synthesized from the value (1 byte) of the specific register (I register) of the game control microcomputer 560 and the interrupt vector (1 byte: least significant bit 0) output from the built-in device is Set to the mode indicating the interrupt address. When a maskable interrupt occurs, the game control microcomputer 560 automatically sets the interrupt disabled state and saves the contents of the program counter in the stack.

  Next, the built-in device register is set (initialized) (S4). By the process of S4, the CTC (counter / timer) and PIO (parallel input / output port), which are built-in devices (built-in peripheral circuits), are set (initialized).

  The game control microcomputer 560 used in this embodiment also incorporates an I / O port (PIO) and a timer / counter circuit (CTC) 504.

  Next, it is confirmed whether or not the power-off signal is in an OFF state according to the state of bit 0 of the input port 1 (S5). When power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started, the output voltage of various power sources such as a + 5V power source gradually reaches a specified value, but the power-off signal is not output by the processing of S5 (that is, By confirming that the power supply voltage is stable, the game control microcomputer 560 can confirm that the power supply voltage is stable.

  When the power-off signal is on, the game control microcomputer 560 turns off the power-off signal again after a delay time of a predetermined period (for example, 0.1 second) (S80). Check if it exists. If the power-off signal is off, the RAM 55 is set to an accessible state (S6).

  Next, the game control microcomputer 560 proceeds to a clear signal check process, and checks whether or not the clear switch-on flag is set (S7). Note that the game control microcomputer 560 may confirm the state of the clear signal only once through the input port 0, but may confirm the state of the clear signal a plurality of times. For example, if it is confirmed that the state of the clear signal is OFF, a delay time of a predetermined time (for example, 0.1 seconds) is set, and then the state of the clear signal is reconfirmed. If it is confirmed that the clear signal is in the on state at that time, it is determined that the clear signal is in the on state. Further, at this time, if it is confirmed that the state of the clear signal is the off state, after a delay time of a predetermined time, the state of the clear signal may be confirmed again. Here, the number of reconfirmations is not limited to once or twice, but may be three or more times. It is also possible to check twice and check again when the check results do not match.

  If the clear switch on flag is not set, data protection processing of the backup RAM area (for example, power supply stop processing such as addition of parity data) is performed when power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped. It is confirmed whether or not (S8). When power supply stops, processing for protecting data in the backup RAM area is performed. When it is confirmed that such power supply stop processing has been performed, the game control microcomputer 560 performs the power supply stop processing, that is, stores the control state at the time of power supply stop. It is determined that When it is confirmed that the power supply stop process is not being performed, the game control microcomputer 560 executes an initialization process.

  Whether or not the power supply stop process has been performed is determined based on the value of the backup monitoring timer stored in the backup RAM area in the power supply stop process depending on the execution of the power supply stop process (for example, 2). ) Is confirmed by whether or not. Note that such a confirmation method is merely an example. For example, a flag indicating that the power supply stop process has been executed is set in the backup flag area in the power supply stop process, and the flag is set in S8. If it is confirmed that the power supply is stopped, it may be determined that the power supply stop process has been performed.

  If it is determined that the control state at the time of stopping power supply is stored, the game control microcomputer 560 performs data check (parity check in this example) in the backup RAM area (S9). Clear data (00) is set in the checksum data area, and the checksum calculation start address is set in the pointer. Also, the number of checksum calculations corresponding to the number of data to be checksum is set. Then, the exclusive OR of the contents of the checksum data area and the contents of the RAM area pointed to by the pointer is calculated. The calculation result is stored in the checksum data area, the pointer value is incremented by 1, and the checksum calculation count value is decremented by 1. The above processing is repeated until the value of the checksum calculation count becomes zero. When the value of the checksum calculation count becomes 0, the game control microcomputer 560 inverts the value of each bit of the contents of the checksum data area and uses the inverted data as a checksum.

  In the power supply stop process, a checksum is calculated by the same process as described above, and the checksum is stored in the backup RAM area. In S9, the calculated checksum is compared with the stored checksum. When the power supply is stopped after an unexpected power failure or the like, the data in the backup RAM area should be saved, so the check result (comparison result) is normal (matched). That the check result is not normal means that the data in the backup RAM area may be different from the data when the power supply is stopped. In such a case, since the internal state cannot be returned to the state when the power supply is stopped, the initialization process (the processes of S10 to S14) that is executed when the power is turned on is not performed when the power supply is stopped. To do.

  If the check result is normal, the game control microcomputer 560 restores the game state to return the internal state of the game control means and the control state of the electrical component control means such as the effect control means to the state when the power supply is stopped. Perform processing. Specifically, the start address of the backup setting table stored in the ROM 54 is set as a pointer (S91), and the contents of the backup setting table are sequentially set in the work area (area in the RAM 55) (S92). The work area is backed up by a backup power source. In the backup setting table, initialization data for an area that may be initialized in the work area is set. By the processing of S91 and S92, the saved contents remain as they are in the portion of the work area that should not be initialized. The parts that should not be initialized include, for example, data indicating the gaming state before the power supply is stopped (special symbol process flag, etc.), the area where the output state of the output port is saved (output port buffer), unpaid prize balls This is the part where data indicating the number is set.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 560 sets the head address of the backup command transmission table stored in the ROM 54 as a pointer (S93), and proceeds to S15.

  In the initialization process, the game control microcomputer 560 first performs a RAM clear process (S10). Note that the predetermined data may be left as it is without initializing the entire area of the RAM 55. Further, the start address of the initialization setting table stored in the ROM 54 is set as a pointer (S11), and the contents of the initialization setting table are sequentially set in the work area (S12).

  By the processing of S11 and S12, for example, a normal symbol determination random number counter, a normal symbol determination buffer, a special symbol buffer, a total prize ball number storage buffer, a special symbol process flag, an award ball flag, a ball out flag, etc. Accordingly, an initial value is set in a flag for selectively performing processing. In addition, a bit corresponding to the output port that outputs the connection confirmation signal in the output port buffer is set (corresponding to the ON state of the connection confirmation signal).

  The game control microcomputer 560 sets the initial address of the initialization command transmission table stored in the ROM 54 as a pointer (S13), and issues an initialization command for initializing the sub-board according to the contents. Processing to transmit to the sub-board is executed (S14). As an initialization command, a command indicating an initial symbol displayed on the variable display device 9 or an initialization command to the payout control board 37 can be used.

  As described above, the game store clerk and the like can easily perform the initial operation by starting the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, turning on the power switch) while the clear switch is turned on and the clear signal is output. Can be executed. That is, RAM clear or the like can be performed.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 560 executes random number circuit setting processing for initial setting of the random number circuits 503a and 503b (S15). Specifically, as described above, the numerical data obtained by performing a predetermined calculation using the ID number of the game control microcomputer 560 is set as the initial value of the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 503. In this case, the CPU 56 performs settings according to the random number circuit setting program so that the random number circuits 503a and 503b update the value of R1. Further, the setting of various functions such as the numerical data update range selection setting function, the numerical data update rule selection setting function, and the numerical data update rule selection switching function by the user described above is performed by S15. Done.

  The game control microcomputer 560 sets a timer interrupt setting for setting a CTC register built in the game control microcomputer 560 so that a timer interrupt is periodically taken every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms). Processing is executed (S16). That is, for example, a value corresponding to 2 ms is set in a predetermined register (time constant register) as an initial value. In this embodiment, it is assumed that a timer interrupt is periodically taken every 2 ms.

  When the timer interrupt setting is completed, the game control microcomputer 560 repeatedly executes the display random number update process (S18). The game control microcomputer 560 disables the interrupt when the display random number update process is executed (S17), and enters the interrupt enable state when the display random number update process ends (S19). Note that the display random number is a predetermined random number (R3 to R5, R7) used for controlling the variation display of the special symbol and the decorative symbol, and the display random number update process is for generating a display random number. This is a process of updating the count value of the counter. Specifically, in the display random number update process, the values of R3 to R5 and R7 described above are updated. In the present embodiment, the display random number update process in S18 is repeatedly performed during the interrupt waiting process surplus time after the interrupt process is executed every 2 msec until the next interrupt process is executed. Become.

  Note that when the display random number update process is executed, the interrupt disabled state is executed because the display random number update process is also executed in the timer interrupt process described later. This is to avoid doing so. That is, if the timer interrupt is generated during the processing of S18 and the count value of the counter for generating the display random number is updated during the timer interrupt processing, the continuity of the count value is impaired. There is. However, such an inconvenience does not occur if the interrupt is prohibited during the process of S18.

  Next, the game control process will be described. FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the timer interrupt process. When the timer interrupt occurs during the execution of the main process, specifically, in the period when the interrupt is permitted during the execution of the loop process of S17 to S19 in FIG. 18, the game control microcomputer 560 A game control process is executed in a timer interrupt process activated in response to the occurrence of a timer interrupt. This timer interruption process is executed once every 2 msec, for example.

  In the timer interrupt process, the game control microcomputer 560 first executes a power-off process (power-off detection process) for detecting whether or not a power-off signal is output (whether or not it is turned on) ( S101). Next, detection signals of switches such as the gate switch 32a, the start port switch 14a, the count switch 23, and the winning port switches 29a, 30a, 33a, and 39a are input via the input driver circuit 58, and their state is determined ( Switch processing: S102). Specifically, if the state of the input port for inputting the detection signal of each switch is ON, the value of the switch timer provided corresponding to each switch is incremented by one. Each switch timer is used to determine that each switch has been normally turned on when the value of each timer has exceeded a predetermined value, that is, when each switch has been turned on continuously for a predetermined time. Used.

  Next, the game control microcomputer 560 confirms whether the initial value is set to be updated when the count value is updated to a predetermined final value in the random number circuit setting process of S15, and the random number circuit 503 is set. The initial value input to is updated (initial value update processing: S103). Further, the game control microcomputer 560 performs a process of updating the count value of a counter for generating a random number used for the game control (random number update process: S104). Specifically, in the random number update process in S104, the values of R2 to R7 described above are updated.

  When the initial value update process and the random number update process are performed, the game control microcomputer 560 performs a count value permutation process in which the random number circuit 503 changes the permutation of the count values (S105). In this embodiment, whether or not to execute the count value permutation change process is determined depending on whether or not the count value permutation change flag is set in the random number circuit setting process. Then, the game control microcomputer 560 executes a count value permutation change process based on the fact that the count value permutation change flag is set.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 560 performs a special symbol process (S106). In the special symbol process control, a corresponding process is selected and executed according to a special symbol process flag for controlling the special symbol display 8 and the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 in a predetermined order according to the gaming state. . The value of the special symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state. Also, normal symbol process processing is performed (S107). In the normal symbol process, the corresponding process is selected and executed according to the normal symbol process flag for controlling the display state of the normal symbol display 10 in a predetermined order. The value of the normal symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state.

  Next, the game control microcomputer 560 performs processing for setting various effect control commands including commands related to decorative symbols synchronized with the variation of the special symbols in a predetermined area of the RAM 55 and sending the effect control commands (decorative symbol commands). Control processing: S108). It should be noted that the fact that the variation of the decorative symbol is synchronized with the variation of the special symbol means that the variation time (variation display period) is the same.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 560 performs an information output process for outputting data such as jackpot information, start information, and probability variation information supplied to the hall management computer (S109).

  Further, the game control microcomputer 560 executes prize ball processing for setting the number of prize balls based on the detection signals from the prize opening switches 29a, 30a, 33a, 39a, etc. (S110). Specifically, a payout command signal such as a prize ball number signal indicating the number of prize balls is output to the payout control board 37 in response to winning detection based on turning on the prize opening switches 29a, 30a, 33a, 39a, etc. . A payout control microcomputer (not shown) mounted on the payout control board 37 drives the ball payout device 97 in response to receiving a prize ball number signal indicating the number of prize balls.

  Then, the game control microcomputer 560 executes a storage process for checking increase / decrease in the number of reserved storage (S111). In addition, a test terminal process, which is a process for outputting a test signal for enabling the control state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to be confirmed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1, is executed (S112). Further, a solenoid output process (S113) is executed for instructing the output circuit 59 to drive various solenoids when a predetermined condition is satisfied. In order to open the variable winning ball device 15 and the special variable winning ball device 20 in the open state or the closed state, or to switch the game ball passage in the big winning opening, the output circuit 59 is connected to the solenoids 16, 21, 21A is driven.

  Next, a special symbol display control process is performed (S114). In the special symbol display control process, a process for setting a drive signal for controlling the display state of the special symbol display 8 is performed. Further, a normal symbol display control process is performed (S115). In the normal symbol display control process, a process for setting a drive signal for controlling the display state of the normal symbol display 10 is performed. Thereafter, the interrupt permission state is set (S116).

  With the above control, in this embodiment, the game control process is started periodically (for example, every 2 ms). In this embodiment, the game control process is executed by the timer interrupt process. However, in the timer interrupt process, for example, only a flag indicating that an interrupt has occurred is set. It may be executed in the main process based on the setting. Further, the processing of S102 to S115 (excluding S109 and S112) corresponds to game control processing for controlling the progress of the game.

  In addition, the game control microcomputer 560 executes a process of counting the number of times the timer interrupt process has been executed. Each time the game control microcomputer 560 executes the timer interrupt process, the game control microcomputer 560 counts up an interrupt number counter indicating the number of times the timer interrupt process has been executed. For example, when the solenoid control process is completed in S113, the game control microcomputer 560 adds 1 to the value of the interrupt counter indicating the number of times that the timer interrupt process has been executed. This interrupt counter is used, for example, to determine whether or not a condition for reading a random number value from the random number circuit 503 is satisfied.

  Also, for example, in the timer interrupt process, the switch process (S102), the decorative symbol command control process (S108), and the interrupt count process (counting the number of times the timer interrupt process described above is executed) are included in the game control process. Only the process) may be executed, and other processes in the game control process may be executed in the main process. In this case, in the loop process from S17 to S19 in the main process, the game control microcomputer 560 executes the processes of S103 to S107 and S110 to S116 (except S112) among the game control processes (described above). Does not include interrupt count processing.

  In addition, when the CPU 56 detects that the timer interrupt count has reached a predetermined number (for example, 3 times) after counting the interrupt count in the timer interrupt process as described above, the random number value from the random number circuit 503 is detected. Is read, and a random number read flag indicating that the random number read condition is satisfied is set. In the main process, the CPU 56 determines whether or not the random number read flag is set during execution of a later-described start port switch passing process (S132) in the special symbol process (S106), and the random number read flag is set. If it is determined, the output control signal is output to the random number circuit 503, and the updated value of R1 is read. Then, in the main process, the CPU 56 determines whether or not to make a big hit based on the read random number value when executing a special symbol normal process (S140) described later in the special symbol process (S106). Become. This is performed so that the same random number value is not continuously read.

  Next, the special symbol process (S106) in the main process will be described. FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing an example of a special symbol process processing program executed by the game control microcomputer 560. If the start opening switch 14a for detecting that the game ball has won the start winning opening 14 provided in the game board 6 is turned on, that is, the game ball is turned into the start winning opening 14 in the game control microcomputer 560. If a start winning to win a prize has occurred (S131), a start opening switch passing process (S132) is performed, and then any one of S140 to S147 is performed according to the internal state.

  In the start port switch passing process of S132, when the start port switch 14a is turned on (specifically, when it is determined that the value of the switch timer provided corresponding to the start port switch 14a is equal to or greater than a predetermined value). ), Whether or not the number of numerical data stored in the reserved storage buffer of the RAM 55 (the number of stored storage) has reached the upper limit, and the number of stored numerical data stored in the reserved storage buffer has reached the maximum value. If not, it is determined whether or not the above-described random number read flag is set. If it is set, the count value of the hold storage counter indicating the hold storage number is incremented by one. Then, the numerical data of R1 from the random number circuit 503 and the random data R2 to R2 for determining the big hit type / hit symbol are respectively extracted and correspond to the extraction order of the reserved storage buffer (the value of the reserved memory counter). Corresponding processing is performed for storing in the storage area. Here, the extraction of the numerical value data of R1 from the random number circuit 503 is performed by inputting an output control signal to the random number circuit 503 and reading the numerical value data of R1 stored as the random number value updated by the random number circuit 503. It is. In this way, when the start port switch 14a is turned on and the number of numerical data stored in the holding storage buffer (the number of holding storage) has not reached the upper limit value, the condition for extracting the numerical data is satisfied, An execution condition for executing the fluctuation display, that is, a starting condition for the fluctuation display is established.

  Special symbol normal processing (S140): State in which execution of variation display of special symbols can be started (for example, the symbol variation has not been made in the special symbol display 8, and the previous symbol variation in the special symbol display 8 has been completed. Waits for a predetermined period of time to elapse, and not a big hit game). When the special symbol variable display can be started, the variable display start condition is satisfied, and the number of reserved memories is confirmed by confirming the count value of the reserved memory counter for the special symbol. If the count value of the holding storage counter is not 0, it is determined whether or not the jackpot is determined as a result of the variable display on the special symbol display 8. In case of big hit, set big hit flag. Then, the special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S141.

  Special symbol stop symbol setting process (S141): When a big hit is made, the big hit type and the big hit symbol are determined based on the extracted value of R2 for determining the big hit type / hit symbol. When it comes off, the off symbol is determined based on the extracted value of R3 for determining the off symbol. Further, when a big hit is made, a process (decorative symbol information determining process) for determining predetermined information (information related to the re-lottery display) on the variable display of the decorative symbols on the variable display device 9 is performed. , And a symbol information command for designating the type of jackpot. The symbol information command set here is output to the effect control board 80 in S108 of FIG. Then, the special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S142.

  Fluctuation pattern setting process (S142): Based on predetermined determination results such as jackpot determination and reach determination, the variation pattern table is selected, and the value of the random counter R4 for determining the variation pattern is extracted, and according to the value of R4 By selecting and determining a variation pattern to be executed from among a plurality of types of variation patterns set in the variation pattern table, the variation pattern of variation display on the special symbol display 8 and the variation display device 9 is selected and determined.

  Also, after setting the variation display time (the time from the start of variation to the time when the display result is derived) for the variation display on the special symbol display 8 based on the variation pattern selected and determined in the special symbol process timer. Start the special symbol process timer. In addition, a drive signal for starting the special symbol variation display is set. The drive signal set here is output in S114 of FIG. In addition, a variation pattern command which is a command for instructing a variation pattern including information on the length of the variation display time of the decorative design is set. The variation pattern command set here is output to the effect control board 80 in S108 of FIG. Then, the special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S143.

  Special symbol variation processing (S143): When the variation display time in the variation pattern selected and determined in the variation pattern setting processing elapses (the special symbol process timer set in S142 times out), the special symbol process flag is shifted to S144. Update as follows.

  Special symbol stop process (S144): Control is performed so that symbols that are variably displayed on each of the special symbol indicator 8 and the variable display device 9 are stopped. Specifically, a drive signal for stopping the special symbol is set. The drive signal set here is output in S114 of FIG. Then, a symbol stop command for stopping the decorative symbol is set. The symbol stop command set here is output to the effect control board 80 in S108 of FIG. If the big hit flag is set, the special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S145. Otherwise, the special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S140.

  Pre-winner opening process (S145): Set data related to big hit gaming state control, such as setting the execution time of the special winning-game opening process in the special symbol process timer, and shift the special symbol process flag to S146. Update. More specifically, in S145, the jackpot game such as the setting of the upper limit of the number of rounds that can be continued in the jackpot gaming state, the setting of the upper limit of the opening time of the big winning opening, and the setting of the interval period between each round Data necessary for state control is set.

  Processing for opening a big winning opening (S146): Confirming the establishment of the starting condition of each round in the big hit gaming state, performing the starting process of each round to open the big winning opening, and specifying the start of each round (specification) ) To send an effect control command for displaying each round, such as a round start command, to the effect control board 80. Then, during each round, in-round processing such as management of the number of winning prizes to the big winning opening is performed. After that, it is confirmed that the end condition of each round in the big hit gaming state is satisfied, and if the end condition is satisfied, a process is performed to check whether the continuous condition of the big hit gaming state is satisfied, and the end of each round is specified (specified). Processing for transmitting a round end command to the effect control board 80 is performed. If the continuation condition is satisfied and there are still remaining rounds, the process proceeds to the next round. Further, when the continuation condition for the big hit game state is not satisfied, a process for transmitting an ending display command for designating (specifying) the display at the end of the big hit game state is performed. Then, the special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S147.

  Big hit end processing (S147): After the above-mentioned ending display is ended, the special symbol process flag is updated to shift to S140.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the special symbol normal process (S140) in the special symbol process. The game control microcomputer 560 performs the following processing in the special symbol normal processing.

  First, the value of the hold storage counter is checked to determine whether or not the hold storage number is “0” (S31). If the number of reserved storage is 0, the process returns.

  On the other hand, if the reserved memory number is not 0, each random number (numerical data) stored in the reserved memory buffer corresponding to the reserved memory number = 1 in the reserved memory buffer of the RAM 55 is read and stored in the random number buffer area of the RAM 55. At the same time (S32), the value of the reserved storage number is decreased by 1 (the count value of the reserved storage counter is decremented by 1), and the contents of each storage area are shifted (S33). That is, each random number stored in the storage area corresponding to the reserved memory number = n (n = 2, 3, 4) in the reserved memory buffer of the RAM 55 is stored in the storage area corresponding to the reserved memory number = n−1. To do. Therefore, the order in which the random numbers stored in the respective storage areas corresponding to the numbers of reserved memories are extracted always matches the order of the numbers of reserved memories = 1, 2, 3, and 4. . That is, in this example, the contents of each storage area are shifted each time the start condition of the variable display is satisfied, so that the order in which the random numbers are extracted can be specified.

  Next, the big hit determination random number (the extracted data of R1) is read from the random number buffer area (S34), and the big hit determination process is executed (S35). In the big hit determination process, the following process is performed. First, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is set. When the probability variation flag is set (when the probability variation state is entered, it is set in the special game process of FIG. 28 described later), the jackpot determination value used for the jackpot determination is set in advance as the probability variation jackpot determination value. When the probability variation flag is not set, one value predetermined as a non-probability variation big hit determination value is set as the big hit determination value used for the big hit determination. Then, the big hit determination random number read in S34 and the big hit determination value are compared, and when the big hit determination random number and the big hit determination value match, the big hit determination is performed, and when these do not match, the big hit is not determined, Decide to be out of place.

  As a result of the big hit determination process, if it is decided to make a big hit (Y in S36), a big hit flag is set (S37). Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special symbol stop symbol setting process (S141) (S38), and the process returns.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the special symbol stop symbol setting process (S141) in the special symbol process. In the special symbol stop symbol setting process, the game control microcomputer 560 performs the following processing.

  First, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag set in S37 is set (S40). When the big hit flag is not set, it is a time when the variation display result is out of order, and a random number is extracted from R3, and a special symbol outlier design to be derived and displayed as the variation display result is randomly determined based on the extracted value. (S43). And it progresses to S45 mentioned later.

  On the other hand, when the big hit flag is set in S40, it is extracted from R2 at the time of starting winning, and based on the extracted value of R2 read out in S32, the normal big hit, the first certain variation big hit, the second certain variation big hit, and the short time big hit The type of jackpot to determine which type of jackpot is to be determined and the jackpot symbol corresponding to the determined jackpot type are determined (S41). Specifically, in S41, using the jackpot type selection table of FIG. 9 set so that the selection ratio of the jackpot type varies depending on the probability / base state as described above, the jackpot type and The jackpot symbol is determined simultaneously based on the relationship shown in FIG. Then, in correspondence with the jackpot type determined in S41, a jackpot type flag indicating the determined jackpot type is set (S42).

  Specifically, in S42, the big hit type flag is set as follows. When it is determined that the normal big hit is made, the normal big hit flag is set as the big hit type flag. When it is determined that the first probability variation jackpot is determined, the first probability variation jackpot flag is set as the jackpot type flag. When it is determined that the second probability variation jackpot is determined, the second probability variation jackpot flag is set as the jackpot type flag. When it is determined to be a time and big hit, a time and big hit flag is set as a big hit type flag.

  Then, a decorative symbol information determination process, which is a process for determining predetermined information related to the variable display of decorative symbols, is executed (S44), and the process proceeds to S45. In the decorative symbol information determination process, it is determined whether or not the re-lottery display is performed for each of the primary re-lottery display and the secondary re-lottery display. When the primary re-lottery display is performed, the primary re-lottery flag is set as a flag indicating that the primary re-lottery display is executed. Further, when the normal secondary re-lottery display is performed in the secondary re-lottery display, the normal secondary re-lottery flag is set as a flag indicating that the normal secondary re-lottery display is executed. When performing the special secondary re-lottery display in the secondary re-lottery display, the special secondary re-lottery flag is set as a flag indicating that the special secondary re-lottery is executed. The details of the decorative symbol information determination process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In S45, processing for selecting a symbol information command to be transmitted is performed. In S45, specifically, the symbol information command is selected as follows. When the off symbol is determined in S43, that is, when the big hit flag set in S37 is not set, the above-described off-strand designation command is selected as the symbol information command. When the jackpot flag set in S37 is set, the symbol information command is selected using the jackpot type flag as follows. When the normal big hit flag is set, the normal big hit designation command is selected. When the hour / long jackpot flag is set, the hour / long jackpot designation command is selected. When the first probability variation jackpot flag is set, the first probability variation jackpot designation command is selected. When the second probability variable jackpot flag is set, the second probability variable jackpot designation command is selected.

  Next, a setting (command set) for transmitting the symbol information command selected in S45 is performed (S46). When the symbol information command is set in this way, the symbol information command is output in S108 of FIG. Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the variation pattern setting process (S142) (S48), and the process returns.

  FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing the decorative symbol information determination process (S44) in the special symbol stop symbol setting process. In the decorative symbol information determination process, the game control microcomputer 560 performs the following process.

  First, a re-lottery display determination process is performed to determine whether or not to perform a re-lottery display and to determine the type of re-lottery display to be executed when the re-lottery display is performed (S51). Specifically, in S51, the re-lottery display selection table corresponding to the big hit type flag set at that time is selected (for example, when the normal big hit flag is set, the normal big hit re-lottery shown in FIG. 10). Select the display selection table). Then, the table is selected according to the probability / base state confirmed based on the probability variation flag and the time reduction flag set at that time (for example, the probability variation flag is not set and the time reduction flag is not set). When the low probability low base state is selected, the low probability low base state table is selected), and numerical data is extracted from R7 for re-lottery display determination. Based on the extracted value of R7 from the selected table, there is no re-lottery display as described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 13, only the primary re-lottery display, only the normal secondary re-lottery display, and the special secondary re-display. Only the lottery display is selected from the primary + normal secondary re-lottery display, primary + special secondary re-lottery display. Thereby, it is determined whether or not the re-lottery display is performed and the type of the re-lottery display when the re-lottery display is executed. In S51, in order to use the result of the re-lottery display determination in S52, S54, and S56, data indicating the result of the re-lottery display determination is stored.

  Next, based on the data indicating the result of the re-lottery display determination stored in S51, it is determined whether or not the primary re-lottery display has been determined (S52). When it is determined that the primary re-lottery display is not determined, the process proceeds to S54 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the primary re-lottery display is determined, a primary re-lottery flag indicating that the primary re-lottery display is performed is set (S53), and the process proceeds to S54. In S54, based on the data indicating the result of the re-lottery display determination stored in S51, it is determined whether or not the normal secondary re-lottery display is determined. When it is determined that it is determined that the normal secondary re-lottery display is not performed, the process proceeds to S56 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the normal secondary re-lottery display is determined, a normal secondary re-lottery flag indicating that the normal secondary re-lottery display is performed is set (S55), and the process proceeds to S56. In S56, based on the data indicating the result of the re-lottery display determination stored in S51, it is determined whether or not the special secondary re-lottery display has been determined. When it is determined that it is determined not to display the special secondary re-lottery display, the process returns. On the other hand, when it is determined that the special secondary re-lottery display is determined, a special secondary re-lottery flag indicating that the special secondary re-lottery display is performed is set (S57), and the process returns.

  FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the variation pattern setting process (S142) in the special symbol process. The game control microcomputer 560 performs the following processing in the variation pattern setting processing.

  First, by determining whether or not the big hit flag set in S37 is set, it is determined whether or not it is determined that the variable display is a big hit (S61). When it is determined that the big hit is not determined, the process proceeds to S65 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the big hit is determined, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is set (S62).

  When it is determined that the hour / short flag is not set, it is a non-time / short state, and therefore, as a data table used to determine the fluctuation pattern, the non-short fluctuation pattern table of the fluctuation pattern table for determining the big hit is used. Select (S63) and proceed to S73. On the other hand, when it is determined that the time reduction flag is set, the time reduction state is set, so that the shortened variation pattern table is selected from the variation pattern tables for determining the big hit (S64), and the process proceeds to S73 described later.

  Further, when the process proceeds to S65, since it is determined that the variation display result is out of the range, a random number is extracted from R5, and reach determination is performed based on the extracted value. The reach determination result in this case is stored as data such as a reach flag. Then, by determining whether or not the reach flag is set, it is determined whether or not reach is determined by the reach determination in S65 (S66).

  If it is determined that the reach is determined, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is set (S67). When it is determined that the time reduction flag is not set, it is in a non-time reduction state, so as a data table used for determining the fluctuation pattern, the non-shortening fluctuation pattern table of the fluctuation pattern table for determining the reach deviation Is selected (S68), and the process proceeds to S73. On the other hand, when it is determined that the time reduction flag is set, the time reduction state is set, and therefore, as a data table used for determining the fluctuation pattern, the shortened fluctuation pattern table of the fluctuation pattern table for determining reach deviation is used. Is selected (S69), and the process proceeds to S73.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the reach is not determined in S66, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is set (S70). When it is determined that the time reduction flag is not set, it is a non-time reduction state, and therefore, as a data table used for determining a fluctuation pattern, a non-shortening fluctuation pattern table of fluctuation pattern tables for determining deviation is usually used. Is selected (S71), and the process proceeds to S73. On the other hand, when it is determined that the time reduction flag is set, the time reduction state is set. Therefore, as a data table used for determining the fluctuation pattern, a shortened fluctuation pattern table of the fluctuation pattern table for determining deviation is usually used. Is selected (S72), and the process proceeds to S73.

  In S73, a random number is extracted from R4, and a variation pattern is selected based on the extracted value using the variation pattern table selected in any of S63, S64, S68, S69, S71, and S72. In addition, in S73, as shown below, a variation pattern command is selected based on the selected variation pattern and information on the re-lottery display.

  When the big hit flag is set, the variation pattern command is selected based on the information regarding the re-lottery display as follows. When the primary re-lottery flag is not set and the normal secondary re-lottery flag and special secondary re-lottery flag are not set, “no primary re-lottery / no secondary re-lottery designation” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is not set and the normal secondary re-lottery flag is set, “no primary re-lottery / ordinary secondary re-lottery designation” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is not set and the special secondary re-lottery flag is set, “no primary re-lottery / special secondary re-lottery designation” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is set and the normal secondary re-lottery flag and special secondary re-lottery flag are not set, “selection with primary re-lottery / no secondary re-lottery” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is set and the normal secondary re-lottery flag is set, “with primary re-lottery / normal secondary re-lottery designation” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is set and the special secondary re-lottery flag is set, “selection with primary re-lottery / special secondary re-lottery” is selected.

  As described above, in S73, in addition to the selection determination of the variation pattern designated in the variation pattern command, the variation pattern command is selected based on the selected variation pattern and information on the re-lottery display. Thereby, the variation pattern command to be selected is specified in S73. Then, the special symbol display 8 performs a process for starting the variation display of the special symbol (S74). Specifically, a driving signal for starting the special symbol variation display is set on the special symbol display 8, and the driving signal is output in S114 of FIG. Then, the setting (command set) for transmitting the variation pattern command corresponding to the variation pattern information selected in S73 and the information related to the re-lottery display is performed (S75). When the variation pattern command is set in this way, the variation pattern command is output in S108 of FIG. Based on the selected variation pattern, the special symbol display 8 sets the variation display time in the special symbol process timer, and then starts the special symbol process timer (S76). The special symbol process timer is a timer used for managing the variable display time. Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special symbol variation process (S143) (S77), and the process returns.

  FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing the special symbol stop process (S144) in the special symbol process. In the special symbol stop process, the game control microcomputer 560 performs the following process.

  First, a process for stopping the special symbol variation display is performed (S80). Specifically, a drive signal for stopping the variation display of the special symbol for which variation display is performed on the special symbol display 8 is set, and the drive signal is output in S114 of FIG. As a result, the special symbol is stopped and displayed with the stop symbol determined as described above. Further, the address of the command transmission table corresponding to the symbol stop command is set in the pointer (S81). The symbol stop command is a command for designating (specifying) that the variable display of the decorative symbol on the variable display device 9 is stopped. The symbol stop command set in S81 is transmitted to the effect control board 80 in S108 of FIG. When receiving the symbol stop command, the effect control microcomputer 800 executes control for stopping the variation display of the decorative symbol on the variation display device 9 and deriving and displaying the display result.

  Next, it is confirmed whether or not the big hit flag is set (S82). When it is confirmed in S82 that the big hit flag is set, that is, when it is determined that the big hit flag is set in S35 in the special symbol normal processing (S140) and the big hit flag is set (designated) ) Is set (command set) for transmitting a jackpot start command for (S83). The jackpot start command set in S83 is transmitted to the effect control board 80 in S108 of FIG. Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special winning opening opening pre-processing (S145) (S84), and the process returns. On the other hand, when it is confirmed in S82 that the big hit flag is not set, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the special symbol normal process (S140) (S85), and the process returns.

  FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing the special winning opening opening process (S146) in the special symbol process. In the special winning opening opening process, the game control microcomputer 560 performs the following process.

  First, at the end of the jackpot gaming state based on the end of the round without the continuation condition being met in the middle of the final round in the jackpot gaming state, or the end of the final round in the jackpot gaming state It is determined whether or not there is (S151). If it is determined that the big hit gaming state has ended, the process proceeds to S160 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not at the end of the big hit gaming state, it is determined whether or not the start condition of each round is satisfied (S152).

  In S152, for example, when the time from the start of the big hit gaming state becomes the start timing of the first round, or when the interval period between rounds in which the time is predetermined for each round ends. It is determined that the start condition for each round is satisfied when the predetermined start timing of each round is reached, as in

  When it is determined that the start condition for each round is not satisfied, the process proceeds to S155 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the start condition of each round is satisfied, processing to be performed at the start of each round, such as opening the big prize opening, is executed (S153). Then, a setting (command set) for transmitting a round start command for each round (for example, a third round start command for the third round) is performed (S154). When the round start command is set in this way, the round start command is output in S108 of FIG. After S154, the process proceeds to S155.

  In S155, it is determined whether or not each round is in a round state that is a state other than at the start of the round and at the end of the round. If it is in a round state, for example, processing performed during each round, such as counting the number of winning prizes in the big winning opening during the round, is executed (S156), and the process proceeds to S157. On the other hand, if not in a round state, the process proceeds to S157 as it is.

  In S157, it is determined whether or not the end condition of each round is satisfied. In S157, for example, when there is a predetermined number (10) of prizes in the big prize opening during the round as described above, or the big prize opening time set in the above-mentioned pre-opening process for the big prize opening It is determined that the end condition of each round is satisfied when the predetermined end timing of the round is reached, such as when the earlier one of the conditions when the upper limit value has passed is satisfied.

  If it is determined in S157 that the end condition of each round is not satisfied, the process returns. On the other hand, when it is determined that the end condition of each round is satisfied, each of the cases such as closing the big prize opening and confirming whether the condition for continuing the big hit gaming state to the next round is satisfied, etc. Processing performed at the end of the round is executed (S158). Then, a setting (command set) for transmitting a round end command for each round (for example, a third round end command for the third round) is performed (S159). When transmission of the round end command is set in this way, the round end command is output in S108 of FIG. After S159, the process returns.

  As described above, when it is determined at S151 that the big hit gaming state is ended, an ending display command for designating the contents of the ending display performed at the end of the big hit gaming state is selected (S160). Specifically, when the secondary secondary lottery flag is set, an ending display command indicating that the secondary secondary lottery display is normally performed is selected, and when the special secondary secondary lottery flag is set, a special The ending display command indicating that the secondary re-lottery display is performed is selected. When these flags are not set, an ending display command indicating that normal ending display is performed without displaying the secondary re-lottery display is selected. Then, a setting (command set) for transmitting the selected ending display command is performed (S161). When transmission of the ending display command is set in this way, the ending display command is output in S108 of FIG.

  Then, based on determining whether either the normal secondary re-lottery flag or the special secondary re-lottery flag is set, it is determined whether or not the secondary re-lottery display is to be performed (S162). When it is determined that the secondary re-lottery display is to be performed, a predetermined time when the secondary re-lottery display is performed is set to 2 for the jackpot end timer which is a timer for managing the big-hit end display as the ending display. By setting according to the type of the next re-lottery display, the big hit end timer is started (S163), and the big hit end display period is started. Here, in this embodiment, the normal secondary re-lottery display and the special secondary re-lottery display have different display times (for example, the special secondary re-lottery display has a longer display time). In S163, a time corresponding to the type of secondary re-lottery display is set in the big hit end timer. Note that the display time may be the same for the normal secondary re-lottery display and the special secondary re-lottery display. The time set in the big hit end timer when performing the secondary re-lottery display is set in the big hit end timer when performing the big hit normal end display, which is a big hit end display without performing the secondary re-lottery display. The time is set to be longer than the set time. Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit end process (S147) (S165), and the process returns.

  Further, when it is determined in S162 that the secondary re-lottery display is not performed, the winning end is set by setting a predetermined time (big hit normal end display time) when the big hit normal end display is performed in the big hit end timer. The timer is started (S164), and the jackpot end display period is started. Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit end process (S147) (S165), and the process returns.

  FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing the jackpot end process (S147) in the special symbol process. In the big hit ending process, the game control microcomputer 560 performs the following process.

  First, the big hit end timer with the time set as described above is subtracted and updated (S171). Then, it is determined whether or not the jackpot end timer has timed out (value has reached “0”) (S172). If it is determined that the jackpot end timer has not timed out, the process returns. As a result, the jackpot end timer counts the display time of the ending display by being subtracted and updated every time the jackpot end process is executed. On the other hand, when the jackpot end timer times out, a special game process, which is a process for managing the probability / base state including the probability variation state and the short time state as the special game state, is performed (S173). The contents of the special game process will be described later with reference to FIG. Then, the big hit flag such as the big hit flag set in S37 and the big hit type flag set in S41 are reset (S174), and the value of the special symbol process flag corresponds to the special symbol normal processing (S140). The value is updated (S175), and the process returns.

  FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing the special game process (S173) in the big hit end process. The game control microcomputer 560 performs the following processing in the special game processing.

  First, it is determined whether or not the normal big hit flag is set (S181). When it is determined that the normal big hit flag is not set, the process proceeds to S184 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the normal big hit flag is set, the probability variation flag is set to the reset state (S182), the hourly flag is reset to the reset state (S183), and the process returns. Thereby, after the end of the big hit gaming state, the probability / base state becomes the low probability low base state. Here, the reset state means that the flag state is changed to the reset state when the flag state is in the set state, and the flag state is changed to the reset state when the flag state is in the reset state. It includes both meanings of holding and indicates that a reset state is obtained as a result. The meaning of the reset state is similarly applied to the following description of the special game process. Similarly, the meaning of the set state used in the following description is that the flag state is changed to the set state when the flag state is in the reset state, and the flag state is in the set state. Sometimes includes both meanings of keeping the flag state set.

  When it is determined in S181 that the normal jackpot flag is not set, it is determined whether or not the hourly / hit jackpot flag is set (S184). When it is determined that the time / short hit flag is not set, the process proceeds to S187 described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that the hour / short hit flag is set, the probability variation flag is set to the reset state (S185), the hour / hour flag is set to the set state (S186), and the process returns. Thereby, after the end of the big hit gaming state, the probability / base state becomes the low probability base state.

  When it is determined in S184 that the short-time big hit flag is not set, it is judged whether or not the first certain variation big hit flag is set (S187). When it is determined that the first certainty big hit flag is not set, the process proceeds to S190 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the first probability variation big hit flag is set, the probability variation flag is set (S188), the time reduction flag is reset (S189), and the process returns. As a result, the probability / base state becomes the high probability low base state after the end of the big hit gaming state.

  When it is determined in S187 that the first certainty variable big hit flag is not set, it is judged whether or not the second certainty variable big hit flag is set (S190). If it is determined that the second probability variation jackpot flag is not set, the process returns. On the other hand, when it is determined that the second probability variation big hit flag is set, the probability variation flag is set (S191), the hourly flag is set (S192), and the process returns. Thereby, after the end of the big hit gaming state, the probability / base state becomes a highly accurate base state.

  Next, the operation of the effect control microcomputer 800 will be described. FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing the effect control main process executed by the effect control microcomputer 800.

  In the effect control main process, first, an initialization process is performed for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, initializing a timer for determining the activation control activation interval, and the like (S201). When the initialization process is completed, the production control microcomputer 800 monitors the timer interrupt flag (S202). When the timer interruption occurs, the production control microcomputer 800 sets “1” as the value of the timer interruption flag in the timer interruption process. If “1” is set as the value of the timer interrupt flag in S202, the effect control microcomputer 800 clears the value of the timer interrupt flag (S203), and executes the following effect control process.

  A timer interrupt occurs every 33 ms, for example. That is, the effect control process is activated every 33 ms, for example. Further, in the timer interrupt process in this embodiment, only the process of setting “1” as the value of the timer interrupt flag is performed, and the specific effect control process is executed in the main process. The effect control process may be executed.

  In the effect control process, first, a power-off process for monitoring whether or not a power-off signal is output is executed (S204). Next, command analysis processing for analyzing the received effect control command is executed (S205). Next, effect control process processing is performed (S206). The contents of the effect control process will be described later with reference to FIG. In the effect control process, a process corresponding to the current control state (effect control process flag) is selected from the processes corresponding to the control state, and effect control including display control of the variable display device 9 is executed.

  Next, a random number update process for updating a predetermined random counter is executed (S207). In the random number updating process, for example, various random counters such as the above-described random counter RT for determining the contents of effects and random counters RU-1 to RU-3 for determining decorative symbols to be stopped are updated. Thereafter, the process returns to the process of checking the timer interrupt flag in S202. An INT signal for effect control from the main board 31 is input to the interrupt terminal of the effect control microcomputer 800. For example, when the INT signal from the main board 31 is turned on, an INT interrupt is generated in the production control microcomputer 800. Then, the effect control microcomputer 800 executes effect control command reception processing in the interrupt processing. In the effect control command reception process, the effect control microcomputer 800 stores the received effect control command data in a command reception buffer provided in the RAM 85.

  Next, the command analysis processing in S205 of FIG. 29 will be described. FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing command analysis processing.

  In the command analysis process, it is determined whether or not there is a reception command in the command reception buffer (S211). If there is no reception command, the process returns. On the other hand, when there is a reception command, the reception command is read (S212). The command data read here is erased in the command reception buffer. Then, it is determined whether or not the read reception command is the symbol information command described above (S213). If it is a symbol information command, the symbol information (disconnected, jackpot) indicated by the symbol information command is stored in the symbol information storage area provided in the RAM 85 (S214).

  Next, when the received symbol information command shows information about the big hit, as the big hit information, the big hit information indicating the type of big hit indicated by the symbol information command (the normal big hit, the first positive variation big hit, the second positive probability big hit, and the short time big hit) ) Is stored in the jackpot information storage area provided in the RAM 85 (S215). Then, in response to the received command, a symbol information reception flag that is a reception flag that can identify the received command is set (S216). Then, the process returns to S211.

  Since the symbol information reception flag can identify the received symbol information command, the above-described S214 and S215 are not provided when the content of the command can be identified based on the received symbol information command. May be. On the other hand, when the type of the received symbol information command can be specified based on the information stored in S214 and S215, S216 need not be provided.

  If it is determined in S213 that it is not a symbol information command, it is determined whether or not the read received command is a variation pattern command (S217). If it is a variation pattern command, the data specifying the variation pattern indicated by the variation pattern command is stored in a variation pattern data storage area provided in the RAM 85 (S218). Next, re-lottery display information (information on primary lottery display, normal secondary re-lottery display, special secondary re-lottery display, etc.), which is information about the re-lottery display indicated by the received variation pattern command Information) is stored in the re-lottery display information storage area provided in the RAM 85 (S219). Then, in response to the received command, a variation pattern reception flag that is a reception flag that can identify the received command is set (S220), and the process returns to S211. Since the fluctuation pattern reception flag can identify the received fluctuation pattern command, when the contents of the command can be specified based on the received fluctuation pattern command, the above-described S218 and S219 are not provided. May be.

  Further, it is determined whether or not the received reception command is the aforementioned big hit start command (S221). If it is a big hit start command, a big hit start command reception flag, which is a reception flag capable of specifying the received command, is set in correspondence with the received command (S222). Then, the process returns to S211.

  Further, it is determined whether or not the received reception command is the above-described round start command (S223). If it is a round start command, a round start command reception flag, which is a reception flag capable of specifying the received command, is set in correspondence with the received command (S224). Then, the process returns to S211.

  Further, it is determined whether or not the received reception command is the above-described round end command (S225). If it is a round end command, a round end command reception flag, which is a reception flag that can identify the received command, is set in correspondence with the received command (S226). Then, the process returns to S211.

  Further, it is determined whether or not the read reception command is the above-mentioned ending display command (S227). If it is an ending display command, an ending display command reception flag, which is a reception flag capable of specifying the received command, is set in correspondence with the received command (S228). Then, the process returns to S211. If it is determined in S227 that the received command is not an ending display command, it is determined what other received command is, a command reception flag corresponding to the received command is set (S229), and the process returns to S211. That is, S229 collectively shows processing corresponding to reception of various commands other than the above-described symbol information command, variation pattern command, jackpot start command, round start command, round end command, and ending display command. .

  Next, the effect control process process by S206 of FIG. 29 is demonstrated. FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing the effect control process. In the effect control process, any one of S400 to S406 is executed according to the value of the effect control process flag. In each process, the following process is executed.

  Fluctuation pattern command reception waiting process (S400): It is confirmed whether or not a variation pattern command has been received. When it is confirmed that a variation pattern command has been received, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to S401. To do.

  Symbol variation start processing (S401): With respect to the variation display of the ornament symbol, the display result of the ornament symbol in the variation display such as the combination of the off symbol and the combination of the jackpot symbol as the variation display result before the big hit game is determined, When the re-lottery display is performed, the display result of the re-lottery display is determined. Then, in accordance with the variation pattern command, a variation pattern that is actually used for variation display on the variation display device 9 is determined from a plurality of predetermined variation patterns of decorative patterns that can be displayed as images. Further, the variation display time is set according to the determined variation pattern, and the variation of the decorative symbols (left, middle, right symbol) in the variation display device 9 is started. Thereafter, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to S402. The contents of the symbol variation start process will be described later with reference to FIG.

Symbol variation processing (S402): Controls the switching timing of each variation state (variation speed, etc.) constituting the variation pattern of the decorative symbol on the variation display device 9 and monitors the end of the set variation time. Then, when the set variation time ends, the left, middle and right symbols of the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped, and control is performed so that the variation of the symbols is swaying without confirming the display result. Thereafter, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value according to S403. For the contents of the symbol variation processing, see FIG.
Will be described later.

  Symbol stop waiting process (S403): If the symbol stop command for designating all symbols to be decorated has been received after the variation time specified by the variation pattern command has passed, the variation display device 9 performs the variation of the ornament symbol. Control is performed to stop (stop the shaking fluctuation state described above) and display a stop symbol as a fluctuation display result. After that, when the decorative symbol stop symbol on the variable display device 9 is a jackpot display result, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value according to S404, and the decorative symbol stop symbol on the variable display device 9 is When the result is a display error, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to S400.

  Big hit display processing (S404): After the end of the decorative symbol change time on the variable display device 9, display is performed at the start of the big hit. Thereafter, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to S405.

  Big hit game processing (S405): Control for displaying the big hit game effect, which is a display for producing the big hit game state. For example, display for performing various effects during each round in the big hit gaming state and various effects during the interval period between each round is performed. When the big hit game processing ends, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value according to S406. The contents of the big hit game processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Big hit game end processing (S406): Ending display is performed as an effect when the big hit game state is ended. Thereafter, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to S400.

  Next, the symbol variation start process in S401 of FIG. 31 will be described. FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing the symbol variation start process (S401) of FIG. In the symbol variation start process, the effect control microcomputer 800 performs the following process.

  First, a design effect determination process is performed, which is a process of making a selection determination regarding a design and an effect including a decorative symbol variation display result (combination symbol combination and jackpot symbol combination) and a re-lottery display display result ( S231). The processing content of the symbol effect determination process will be described later with reference to FIG. Then, the symbol data determined in the symbol effect determination process and the data of the effect pattern are stored in the symbol / effect data storage area provided in the RAM 85 (S232).

  Next, data for performing a variation display with a variation pattern corresponding to the received variation pattern command is set (S233). Specifically, in S233, the variation pattern is set by selecting and setting data such as process data used for variation display in the variation pattern corresponding to the received variation pattern command.

  Then, the variation display time corresponding to the variation pattern set in S233 is set in the variation time timer for measuring the variation display time in the variation display device 9, and the measurement of the variation display time by the variation time timer is started. (S234). Then, with the variation pattern set in S233, the variation display of the decorative symbol for deriving and displaying the display result in the variation display device 9 is started (S235). Then, the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the symbol changing process (S402) (S236), and the process returns.

  FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing a symbol effect determination process (S231) in the symbol variation start process. In the design effect determination process, the effect control microcomputer 800 performs the following process.

  First, it is determined whether or not the received symbol information command indicates any kind of jackpot (S241). Specifically, in S241, it is determined whether or not any type of jackpot is designated based on the jackpot information stored in the command analysis process. When it is determined in S241 that a big hit is indicated, the process proceeds to S243 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined in S241 that the winning symbol is not indicated, it can be determined that the received symbol information command indicates that it is an outlier display result. Are randomly determined (S242), and the process returns. In S242, the combination of shift symbols is determined as follows.

  First, the values of RU-1 to RU-3 are extracted. When a command for designating a reach deviation variation pattern is received as a variation pattern command corresponding to the symbol information command, an RU is determined using a reach symbol determination data table in which the relationship between the value of RU-1 and the reach symbol is predetermined. A corresponding reach symbol is selected from the extracted values of −1, and the combination of reach symbols is determined as a combination of stop symbols (reach symbols) of the left and right symbols. Then, using the middle symbol determination data table in which the relationship between RU-2 and the middle symbol is determined in advance, the corresponding middle symbol is selected from the extracted value of RU-2. However, when the middle symbol corresponding to the extracted value of RU-2 matches the jackpot symbol, correction is performed to change the middle symbol so as not to match the jackpot symbol. When a variation pattern command that normally designates a deviation variation pattern is received as the variation pattern command, the left symbol determination data table in which the relationship between the value of RU-1 and the left symbol is predetermined, the value of RU-2, Using a middle symbol determination data table in which the relationship with the middle symbol is predetermined and a right symbol determination data table in which the relationship between the value of RU-3 and the right symbol is predetermined, RU-1 to RU-3 A corresponding decorative design is selected from each of the extracted values, and the combination of the decorative design is determined as the combination of the stop design of the decorative design. However, when the combination of decorative symbols corresponding to the extracted values of RU-1 to RU-3 matches, correction is performed to change the right symbol so that they do not match. Further, in the case of such non-reach deviation, if the combination of decorative symbols corresponding to the extracted values of RU-1 and RU-3 accidentally reaches a reach design, The right pattern is corrected so that

  If it is determined in S241 that a big win is indicated and the process proceeds to S243, it is determined whether or not the primary re-lottery display is designated based on the above-described re-lottery display information ( S243). When it is determined that the primary re-lottery display is designated, the process proceeds to S246 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the primary re-lottery display is not designated, it is determined whether or not the secondary re-lottery display is designated based on the above-described re-lottery display information (S244). ). When it is determined that the secondary re-lottery display is not designated, neither the primary re-lottery display nor the secondary re-lottery display is performed, and the decorative symbol variation display result is derived and displayed. Based on the above-mentioned jackpot information, the jackpot display result corresponding to the jackpot type is determined as the swing display result before the jackpot gaming state, which is the swing display result at this time (S245), and the process returns. In S245, for example, when the big hit information indicates the first probability variation big hit, the first probability variation big hit display result is determined as the variation display result. On the other hand, when it is determined that the secondary re-lottery display is designated in S244 and the process proceeds to S248, the normal jackpot display result is randomly determined as the variable display result before the jackpot gaming state. Specifically, in S248, the corresponding normal big hit symbol is selected from the extracted value of RU-1 using the above-mentioned normal big hit symbol determination data table, and the combination of the blue eyes based on the normal big hit symbol is left, middle. , Randomly determined as a combination of the normal jackpot symbol of the right symbol. Thus, when only the secondary re-lottery display is performed, the variation display result of the decorative symbol derived and displayed before the big hit gaming state is determined to be a random combination of normal big hit symbols.

  When the process proceeds to S246, the normal jackpot display result is randomly determined as a temporary stop symbol displayed before the first re-lottery display as shown in FIG. Specifically, in S246, by performing the same processing as in S248 described above, the variation display result of the decorative symbol derived and displayed before the big hit gaming state is determined to be a random combination of normal big hit symbols. In order to prevent the temporary stop symbol determined in S246 and the display result determined in S248 from combining the same symbol, the temporary stop symbol and the display result are separated from each other by different (different) random numbers (random counter values). ) May be used.

  Next, based on the above-mentioned jackpot information and re-lottery display information, it is determined whether or not it is designated to be completed in the primary re-lottery display (S247). Specifically, in S247, the following determination is made based on the aforementioned jackpot information and re-lottery display information. In this embodiment, when the first re-lottery display is completed, if only the first re-lottery display is specified when the first probable big hit is given, the primary + normal 2 when the first probable big win is given. There are three cases when the next re-lottery display is designated and when the primary + normal secondary re-lottery display is designated when the second probable big hit. Therefore, in S247, based on the jackpot information and the re-lottery display information, it is checked whether or not any of these three cases is met, and if any of them is met, the first re-lottery display is completed. Judge that it is specified to go up.

  If it is determined in S247 that it is not designated to be completed in the first re-lottery display, the process proceeds to S248 described above, and the display result of the lottery display in the primary re-lottery display as described above is displayed before the big hit gaming state. As a display result to be displayed, a normal jackpot display result is randomly determined. Then, the process proceeds to S250. On the other hand, when it is determined in S247 that it is designated to be completed in the primary re-lottery display, the display result derived and displayed before the big hit gaming state is displayed as a win display as the lottery display result in the primary re-lottery display. The result is determined to be the first probability variation jackpot display result (S249), and the process proceeds to S250. Based on such selection determination of the display result, a display result as shown in the primary re-lottery display of FIG. 15 is displayed.

  In S250, based on the above-described re-lottery display information, it is determined whether or not the secondary re-lottery display based on either the normal secondary re-lottery display or the special secondary re-lottery display is designated. When it is determined that the secondary re-lottery display is not designated, the process returns. Therefore, when the primary re-lottery display is designated, but when the secondary re-lottery display is not designated, in the primary re-lottery display, the variable display determined in S248 or S249 described above. As a result, the probability / base state after the end of the jackpot gaming state is shown. On the other hand, when it is determined that the secondary re-lottery display is designated, it is determined whether or not the normal secondary re-lottery display is designated based on the above-described re-lottery display information ( S251).

  When it is determined in S251 that the normal secondary re-lottery display is not designated, it is the case that the special secondary re-lottery display is designated by the erasure method judgment, and the process proceeds to S255 described later. . On the other hand, when it is determined in S251 that normal secondary re-lottery display is designated, it is designated that normal secondary re-lottery display will be completed based on the above-mentioned jackpot information and re-lottery display information. It is determined whether or not (S252).

  Specifically, in S252, the following determination is made based on the aforementioned jackpot information and re-lottery display information. In this embodiment, when the normal secondary re-lottery display is completed, if only the normal secondary re-lottery display is specified when the time-short hit is hit, the primary + normal secondary re-display is made when the time-short hit is hit. There are three cases where the lottery display is designated and when the primary + normal secondary re-lottery display is designated when the second probability variation big hit. Therefore, in S252, based on the jackpot information and the re-lottery display information, it is checked whether or not any of these three cases is applicable. Judge that it is designated to complete.

  If it is determined in S252 that the normal secondary re-lottery display is designated to be completed, the lottery display result in the normal secondary re-lottery display is determined to be a display result with a short time (S253), and the process returns. On the other hand, when it is determined in S252 that it is designated that the normal secondary re-lottery display does not improve, the lottery display result in the normal secondary re-lottery display is determined as the display result without time reduction (S254), and the process returns. . Based on the selection determination of the display result, a display result as shown in the normal secondary re-lottery display in FIG. 15 is displayed.

  If it is determined in S251 that it is not designated that the normal secondary re-lottery display is designated, and the process proceeds to S255, the special secondary re-lottery display is performed based on the jackpot information and the re-lottery display information. In step S255, it is determined whether or not it is designated to perform the first rise (progress to the probability variation state and the short time state).

  Specifically, in S255, the following determination is made based on the aforementioned jackpot information and re-lottery display information. In this embodiment, when the first rise is made in the special secondary re-lottery display, when only the special secondary re-lottery display is designated when the second probable big hit, and the second probable big win There are two cases where the primary + special secondary re-lottery display is designated. Therefore, in S255, based on the jackpot information and the re-lottery display information, it is checked whether or not any of these two cases is applicable. It is determined that the first rise is designated.

  When it is determined that the first rise is specified in the special secondary re-lottery display, the lottery display result in the special secondary re-lottery display is determined to be a probable change / short time display result (S256), and the return To do. On the other hand, when it is determined by the above-mentioned S255 that it is not specified that the first rise is specified in the special secondary re-lottery display, the special secondary re-lottery is based on the above-mentioned jackpot information and re-lottery display information. It is determined whether or not the display is designated to perform the second rise (up to only the probability variation state) (S257).

  Specifically, in S257, the following determination is made based on the aforementioned jackpot information and re-lottery display information. In this embodiment, when the second rise is made in the special secondary re-lottery display, when only the special secondary re-lottery display is designated when the first probable big hit, and the first probable big win There are two cases where the primary + special secondary re-lottery display is designated. Therefore, in S257, based on the jackpot information and the re-lottery display information, it is checked whether or not it corresponds to either of these two cases. It is determined that the second rise is designated.

  When it is determined that the second up is specified in the special secondary re-lottery display, the lottery display result in the special secondary re-lottery display is determined as the probability change display result (S258), and the process returns. On the other hand, when it is determined by the above-described S257 that it is not designated that the second up is specified in the special secondary re-lottery display, the second secondary lottery display is performed based on the above-mentioned re-lottery display information. It is determined whether or not it is designated to perform 3 rises (up to only the short-time state) (S259).

  Specifically, in S259, the following determination is made based on the aforementioned jackpot information and re-lottery display information. In this embodiment, when the third rise is made in the special secondary re-lottery display, it is 1 when only the special secondary re-lottery display is specified when the time-short hit is hit, and when the time-short hit is hit. There are two cases where the next + special secondary re-lottery display is designated. Therefore, in S259, based on the jackpot information and the re-lottery display information, it is checked whether or not any of these two cases is applicable, and if any of them is true, in the special secondary re-lottery display, It is determined that the third rise is designated.

  When it is determined that it is designated that the third rise is specified in the special secondary re-lottery display, the lottery display result in the special secondary re-lottery display is determined as the time-short display result (S260), and the process returns. On the other hand, if it is determined that the third rise is not specified in the special secondary re-lottery display, the lottery display result in the special secondary re-lottery display is changed to the normal display result by the elimination method judgment. Determine (S261) and return.

  Based on the selection determination of the display result in S255 to S261, the display result as shown in the special secondary re-lottery display in FIG. 16 is displayed.

  In the symbol effect determination process described above, when the special secondary re-lottery display is performed, the decorative symbol variation display result derived and displayed before the jackpot gaming state is always the normal jackpot display result. As a result, special secondary re-lottery display can be performed for each of the control to the high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state, the control to the high base state, and the control to the high probability state and the high base state. In the variation display of the previous decorative symbol, there is no inconvenience of effect display that the display result of the decorative symbol indicates that such a state after the big hit gaming state is set.

  FIG. 34 is a flowchart showing the symbol variation processing (S402) of FIG. In the symbol variation processing, the effect control microcomputer 800 performs the following processing.

  First, the above-described variation time timer and the process timer used for managing display control in the symbol variation processing are updated (S291). Then, it is confirmed whether or not the process timer has timed out (S292). If it has timed out, the effect control execution data is switched (S293), and the process proceeds to S294. If not timed out, the process proceeds to S294. In this embodiment, process data indicating the variation pattern of the decorative design is provided (stored) for each variation pattern. The process data is constituted by data obtained by collecting a plurality of combinations of process timer data and presentation control execution data. The production control microcomputer 800 sets process data corresponding to the variation pattern command in S233. Then, with reference to the process data, control is performed for variably displaying the decorative symbols in the variation mode set in the presentation control execution data for the time set in the process timer. Thereby, after starting the variable display, the variable display for deriving and displaying the display result after a predetermined time can be performed. By such control, for example, after the temporary stop symbol determined in S246 is temporarily stopped, the primary re-lottery display is performed and the variable display in various variable modes is performed.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the variable time timer has timed out (S294). If the variable time timer has not timed out, return. On the other hand, if the variable time timer has timed out, a monitoring timer for monitoring the reception period of the symbol stop command is set and started (S295), and the production control process flag corresponds to the symbol stop waiting process (S403). The value is updated (S296), and the process returns.

  FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing the big hit game processing (S405) of FIG. In the big hit game processing, the production control microcomputer 800 performs the following processing.

  First, it is determined whether or not the big hit gaming state is over (S301). Specifically, in S301, when the ending display command reception flag is set, it is determined that the big hit gaming state has ended.

  If it is determined that the big hit gaming state has ended, the process proceeds to S308 described below. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not the end of the big hit gaming state, whether it is the start of each round based on determining whether or not the round start command reception flag corresponding to each round is set It is determined whether or not (S302). When it is determined that it is not at the start of each round, the process proceeds to S305 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is the start of each round, a display indicating the number of rounds as shown in (G), (H), etc. in FIG. Is started (S304), and the process proceeds to S305.

  In S305, based on determining whether the round end command reception flag corresponding to each round is set, it is determined whether it is the end of each round. If it is determined that it is not the end of each round, the process returns. On the other hand, when it is determined that each round ends, it is determined whether or not the current round is the final round (the 15th round) based on the number of rounds indicated by the received round end command (S305). When it is determined that it is not the final round, display for producing between rounds is started (S306), and the process returns. On the other hand, when it is determined that the current round is the last round, the process does not proceed to the next round, so the process returns without starting the display for producing the effect between the rounds.

  When it is determined at S301 that it is the end of the big hit gaming state and the process proceeds to S308, the secondary re-lottery of either the normal secondary re-lottery display or the special secondary re-lottery display is performed by the effect control command. It is determined whether or not display is designated (S308). In S308, for example, based on the re-lottery display information stored in the command analysis process, it is determined whether or not the secondary re-lottery display is designated. In S308, the information indicated by the received ending display command (indicating either ending display for normal secondary re-lottery display, ending display for special secondary re-lottery display, or normal ending display), that is, Based on the type of ending display, it may be determined whether or not the secondary re-lottery display is designated.

  When it is determined that the secondary re-lottery display is designated, the process proceeds to S311 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the secondary re-lottery display is not specified, the end display timer used for managing the ending display time is a big hit that is the ending display when the secondary re-lottery display is not performed. An end display timer is started by setting a predetermined big hit normal end display time as a display time for executing the normal end display (S309), and the ending display by the big hit normal end display without the secondary re-lottery display is performed. Start (S325). Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot game end process (S406) (S316), and the process returns. Thus, the big hit normal end display is performed over the set big hit normal end display time.

  When it is determined that the secondary re-lottery display is designated in S308 and the process proceeds to S311, whether or not the special secondary re-lottery display is designated by the effect control command is determined. to decide. In S311, for example, based on the re-lottery display information stored in the command analysis process, it is determined whether or not special secondary re-lottery display is designated. In S311, information indicated by the received ending display command (indicating either ending display for normal secondary re-lottery display, ending display for special secondary re-lottery display, or normal ending display), that is, Based on the type of ending display, it may be determined whether or not the special secondary re-lottery display is designated.

  When it is determined in S311 that the special secondary re-lottery display is designated, the special secondary re-predetermined as the time for executing the special secondary re-lottery display is set in the end display timer described above. The lottery display time (in this embodiment, as described above, the time for executing the normal secondary re-lottery display and the special secondary re-lottery display is different) is set, and the operation of the end display timer is started (S312). ). Then, the special secondary re-lottery display that is the display result of the secondary re-lottery display determined in S256, S258, S260, or S261 in FIG. 33 is started (S313). Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot game end process (S406) (S316), and the process returns. Thus, the special secondary re-lottery display that is the display result determined as described above over the set special secondary re-lottery display time is shown in, for example, (I) to (M) of FIG. To be done.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S311 that the special secondary re-lottery display is not designated, it is the case where the normal secondary re-lottery display is designated. A predetermined normal secondary re-lottery display time is set as a time for executing the secondary re-lottery display, and the operation of the end display timer is started (S314). Then, the normal secondary re-lottery display that is the display result of the normal secondary re-lottery display determined in S253 or S254 of FIG. 33 is started (S315). Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot game end process (S406) (S316), and the process returns. Accordingly, the normal secondary re-lottery display that is the display result determined as described above over the set secondary re-lottery display time is shown in, for example, (I) to (M) of FIG. It is done as follows.

  FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing the big hit game ending process (S406) of FIG. In the big hit game ending process, the production control microcomputer 800 performs the following process.

  First, the end display timer started as described above is updated (S351). Thereby, after the start timing of the end display timer, the value of the end display timer is updated every time the big hit game end process is executed. Then, it is determined whether or not the end display timer has timed out (S352). When it is determined that the end display timer has not timed out, the process returns to continue the ending display. On the other hand, when it is determined that the end display timer has timed out, data (state data) indicating control states such as various flags such as a command reception flag managed for the variable display in which the big hit gaming state ends is initialized ( In step S353, the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the variation pattern command reception waiting process (S400) (S354), and the process returns.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the first embodiment, an example has been shown in which a high-precision re-lottery display is performed as the primary re-lottery display, and a high-base re-lottery display or a high-accuracy high-base re-lottery display is performed as the secondary re-lottery display. In the second embodiment, an example will be described in which high base re-lottery display is performed as the primary re-lottery display, and high-accuracy re-lottery display or high-accuracy high-base re-lottery display is performed as the secondary re-lottery display. As for the second embodiment, parts different from the first embodiment described above will be mainly described.

  An example of effect display on the variable display device 9 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 37 and 38. FIG. 37 is a display screen diagram illustrating a display example in which the primary re-lottery display and the normal secondary re-lottery display according to the second embodiment are executed. In FIG. 37, a series of effect displays is shown in (A) to (M).

  In FIG. 37, the states (A) to (C) from when the variable display is started to before the first re-lottery display is executed are the same as those in FIG. When the primary re-lottery display is performed, as shown in (D), the decorative symbol variation display is started again, whereby the primary re-lottery display as the high base re-lottery display is started. When the primary re-lottery display is performed, a message indicating the lottery method of the primary re-lottery display as a high base re-lottery display such as “short when 9” is displayed.

  Then, as shown in (E), the decorative symbol variation display is stopped and one of the jackpot display results is derived and displayed, so that the display result in the first re-lottery display is derived and displayed. As shown, a big hit start display indicating that the big hit gaming state is started is performed. Then, as shown in (G), the fact that it is the first round is displayed and the jackpot gaming state is started. On the other hand, when the primary re-lottery display is not performed, the display result is derived and displayed without the decorative symbols being temporarily displayed. In FIG. 37, an example is shown in which the rising display is performed in the primary re-lottery display by deriving and displaying the time and jackpot display result (for example, “9”) as the display result of the primary re-lottery display. The time-saving big hit display result is the winning display result of the primary re-lottery display. When the time-short-hit win display result is derived and displayed, as shown in (E), the first re-lottery display such as “Acquisition of short time” is displayed. Depending on the result, a display indicating that the time is short is displayed. On the other hand, for the first re-lottery display, the first probability variation jackpot display result and the second probability variation jackpot display result are not selected as display results to be derived and displayed. Then, any of the normal jackpot display results is a display error result of the primary re-lottery display, and when the normal jackpot display result is derived and displayed, a display indicating that the time saving state is not achieved is performed.

  Thereafter, as shown in (H), the round of the big hit gaming state proceeds. When the big hit gaming state ends as shown in (I), secondary re-lottery display as shown in (J) to (M) is performed in the period in which the ending display is performed. FIG. 37 shows a display example when the normal secondary re-lottery display is performed as the high-accuracy re-lottery display in the secondary re-lottery display.

  In the normal secondary re-lottery display as the high-precision re-lottery display, first, as shown in (J), an arrival point indicating whether or not there is a probable change such as “not surely changed” or “probably changed” is shown at the destination. A route 97 in which the destination is selected in an ambiguous manner is displayed, a human character 94 that travels along the route 97 is displayed, and a high-precision re-lottery display such as “to reach the destination state” is displayed. A message indicating the lottery method of the normal secondary re-lottery display is displayed. Here, “no change in certainty” is an outlier display result indicating that the lottery result of the normal secondary re-lottery display does not change into the certainty change state, and is referred to as a display result without probability change. On the other hand, “probably present” is a hit display result indicating that the normal lottery result of the secondary re-lottery display is achieved with certainty, and is referred to as a display result with certainty.

  Then, after the character 94 is displayed at any starting point of the route 97 as shown in (K), a display for moving on the route 97 is performed. Then, as shown in (L), a display to reach the arrival point indicating the state controlled after the end of the big hit gaming state is performed. In the example of FIG. 37, in response to the arrival at the arrival point of “probability changed”, as shown in (M), the result of the normal secondary re-lottery display such as “acquired probability change” becomes the win display result, A display indicating that the state is surely changed is performed. On the other hand, when the arrival point of “no change in certainty” is reached, the result of the normal secondary re-lottery display is an outlier display result, and a display indicating that the state does not enter the certainty change state is performed.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 37 (M), a display showing the state after the end of the big hit gaming state is performed. In the example of FIG. 37, the time-saving state is obtained from the first re-lottery display result, and the probability variation state is obtained from the second re-lottery display result. It is later shown that the state of probability change and the state of short time (highly accurate and high base state) are obtained.

  FIG. 38 is a display screen diagram illustrating a display example in which the primary re-lottery display and the special secondary re-lottery display according to the second embodiment are executed. In FIG. 38, a series of effect displays is shown in (A) to (M).

  In FIG. 38, the states (A) to (D) from when the variable display is started to when the first re-lottery display is executed are the same as in FIG. Then, as shown in (E), when the result of deviating display of the primary re-lottery display is derived and displayed, a display indicating that the probability change state such as “sorry” is not made is performed, and then in (F). As shown, a big hit start display indicating that the big hit gaming state is started is performed. Then, as shown in (G), after the fact that the first round is displayed and the big hit gaming state is started, when the big hit gaming state is finished as shown in (I), a period during which the ending display is performed. In (2), the secondary re-lottery display as shown in (J) to (M) is performed. FIG. 38 shows a display example when special secondary re-lottery display is performed in the secondary re-lottery display.

  As the special secondary re-lottery display in the second embodiment, a re-lottery display using the path 96 and the character 94 similar to the special re-lottery display in the first embodiment as shown in (J) to (L). Done. In the example of FIG. 38, in response to the arrival at the arrival point of “probability change time short”, as shown in (M), a special secondary re-lottery display such as “Acquire probability change! The result is the first hit display result, and a display indicating that the probability variation state and the time reduction state are obtained is performed. The display of (M) in FIG. 38 is different from the display of (M) in FIG. 16 because the presence / absence of time reduction is shown as the first re-lottery display. The positional relationship with the display about acquisition of the short-time state is reversed.

  Next, the relationship between the game control state (probability / base state) and the selection of the re-lottery display according to the second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the selection of the presence / absence of re-lottery display and the type of re-lottery display is determined according to the type of jackpot that has been selected and determined. The selection is performed using a table selected from the re-lottery display selection table, the re-lottery display selection table at the time and big hit, the re-lottery display selection table at the first certain variation big hit, and the second re-lottery display selection table at the second certain variation big hit.

  In the second embodiment, the contents of the re-lottery display selection table for hourly and big hits and the re-lottery display selection table for the first probability variable big hit are different from those used in the first embodiment.

  FIG. 39 is a table showing a time-strict hit-time re-lottery display selection table according to the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, the high base re-lottery display is performed as the primary re-lottery display, and the high-accuracy re-lottery display is performed as the secondary re-lottery display. Thus, for the purpose of matching the result of the re-lottery display with the probability / base state after the end of the jackpot gaming state, the re-lottery display in which only the secondary re-lottery display is normally selected is not performed at the time of the short-term big hit. .

  The contents of the low probability low base state table in FIG. 39 are different from the contents of the low probability low base state table in FIG. 11 as follows. When the extracted value of R7 is any one of “14” to “16”, it is determined that only the first re-lottery display is performed. It is not determined that only the secondary re-lottery display is normally performed in the time and college hit re-lottery display selection table. In the low probability low base state, the selection probability of only the primary re-lottery display is 15%, and the selection probability of only the normal secondary re-lottery display is 0%.

  When it is determined in S247 that it is designated to be completed in the primary re-lottery display, the display result that is derived and displayed before the big hit gaming state as the lottery display result in the primary re-lottery display is determined by S249a. The display result is determined to be the hour / short jackpot display result, and the process proceeds to S250. Based on the selection determination of the display result, a display result as shown in the primary re-lottery display in FIG. 37 is displayed.

  When it is determined in S252 that it is designated that the normal secondary re-lottery display is to be completed, in S253a, the lottery display result in the normal secondary re-lottery display is determined to be a display result with certainty, and the process returns. On the other hand, when it is determined in S252 that it is designated that the normal secondary re-lottery display will not improve, the lottery display result in the normal secondary re-lottery display is determined to be the display result without change and the process returns. . Based on the selection determination of the display result, a display result as shown in the normal secondary re-lottery display in FIG. 37 is displayed.

  In the second embodiment, processes other than the processes described above have the same process flow as in the first embodiment, and in the first embodiment, the re-lottery display performed as the primary re-lottery display is performed with high accuracy. The lottery display may be replaced with the high base re-lottery display, and the re-lottery display performed as the secondary re-lottery display may be replaced with the high-base re-lottery display from the high-precision re-lottery display.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment, when the re-lottery display as in the first and second embodiments is performed, whether or not the re-lottery display is executed and the re-lottery display is performed by the symbol information command instead of the variation pattern command. An example of designating (specifying) information related to the re-lottery display such as the presence / absence of completion will be described. In the third embodiment, differences from the first embodiment and the second embodiment will be mainly described.

  42 and 43 are diagrams showing an example of the effect control command according to the third embodiment in a table format. Referring to FIG. 42, the variation pattern command identifies only the variation pattern without identifying information related to the re-lottery display as in the first and second embodiments. Referring to FIG. 43, the symbol information command is a command for specifying no primary re-lottery / no secondary re-lottery for each of the normal big hit, hourly big hit, first probability variation big hit, and second probability variation big hit. No next re-lottery / Normal secondary re-lottery designation command, No primary re-lottery / Special secondary re-lottery designation command, Primary re-lottery / No secondary re-lottery designation command, Primary re-lottery designation / Normal The re-lottery display selected by the corresponding re-lottery display selection table in FIGS. 10 to 13 is specified among the secondary re-lottery designation command and the primary re-lottery / special secondary re-lottery designation command. A command is provided. The symbol information command selected when the variable display is executed is based on the determination result of the jackpot determination, the selection result of the jackpot type, and the selection determination result of the re-lottery display among such symbol information commands. Selection is decided.

  Next, how the variation pattern command is selected and determined in the third embodiment will be described. In S73 of FIG. 24, a random number is extracted from R4, and based on the extracted value, a variation pattern is selected using the variation pattern table selected in S63, S64, S68, S69, S71, and S72. Although the variation pattern command is selected based on the variation pattern, different variation pattern commands are not selected based on the information related to the re-lottery display as in the first and second embodiments.

When the primary re-lottery flag is not set and the normal secondary re-lottery flag and special secondary re-lottery flag are not set, “no primary re-lottery / no secondary re-lottery designation” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is not set and the normal secondary re-lottery flag is set, “no primary re-lottery / ordinary secondary re-lottery designation” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is not set and the special secondary re-lottery flag is set, “no primary re-lottery / special secondary re-lottery designation” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is set and the normal secondary re-lottery flag and special secondary re-lottery flag are not set, “selection with primary re-lottery / no secondary re-lottery” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is set and the normal secondary re-lottery flag is set, “with primary re-lottery / normal secondary re-lottery designation” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is set and the special secondary re-lottery flag is set, “selection with primary re-lottery / special secondary re-lottery” is selected.

  When the time and big hit flag is set, the information regarding the re-lottery display is selected as follows. When the primary re-lottery flag is not set and both the normal and special secondary re-lottery flags are not set, “no primary re-lottery / no secondary re-lottery designation” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is not set and the normal secondary re-lottery flag is set, “no primary re-lottery / ordinary secondary re-lottery designation” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is not set and the special secondary re-lottery flag is set, “no primary re-lottery / special secondary re-lottery designation” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is set and the normal secondary re-lottery flag is set, “with primary re-lottery / normal secondary re-lottery designation” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is set and the special secondary re-lottery flag is set, “selection with primary re-lottery / special secondary re-lottery” is selected.

  When the first probable big hit flag is set, information regarding the re-lottery display is selected as follows. When the primary re-lottery flag is not set and the normal secondary re-lottery flag and special secondary re-lottery flag are not set, “no primary re-lottery / no secondary re-lottery designation” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is not set and the special secondary re-lottery flag is set, “no primary re-lottery / special secondary re-lottery designation” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is set and the normal secondary re-lottery flag and special secondary re-lottery flag are not set, “selection with primary re-lottery / no secondary re-lottery” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is set and the normal secondary re-lottery flag is set, “with primary re-lottery / normal secondary re-lottery designation” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is set and the special secondary re-lottery flag is set, “selection with primary re-lottery / special secondary re-lottery” is selected.

  When the second probability variation big hit flag is set, information on the re-lottery display is selected as follows. When the primary re-lottery flag is not set and the normal secondary re-lottery flag and special secondary re-lottery flag are not set, “no primary re-lottery / no secondary re-lottery designation” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is not set and the special secondary re-lottery flag is set, “no primary re-lottery / special secondary re-lottery designation” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is set and the normal secondary re-lottery flag is set, “with primary re-lottery / normal secondary re-lottery designation” is selected. When the primary re-lottery flag is set and the special secondary re-lottery flag is set, “selection with primary re-lottery / special secondary re-lottery” is selected.

  As described above, in the case of the third embodiment, in S45 of the special symbol stop symbol setting process of FIG. 22, the symbol information command is based on information related to the re-lottery display in addition to symbol information such as the type of jackpot and losing. The symbol information command is selected and determined. In S46, the setting (command set) for transmitting the symbol information command corresponding to the symbol information selected in S45 and the information related to the re-lottery display is performed. As a result, symbol information commands as shown in FIGS. 42 and 43 are transmitted.

  Next, command analysis processing according to the third embodiment will be described. FIG. 44 is a flowchart showing command analysis processing according to the third embodiment. The command analysis process of FIG. 44 is different from the command analysis process of FIG. 30 in that S219 is not provided and S216a is provided.

  In the command analysis process according to the third embodiment, information related to the re-lottery display is indicated by the symbol information command. Therefore, the process of storing the re-lottery display information as in S219 of FIG. 30 described in the first embodiment is a variation pattern. This is performed when a symbol information command is received, not when a command is received. For this reason, S219 is not provided, and after S216, re-lottery display information that is information on the re-lottery display indicated by the received symbol information command (presence / absence of primary re-lottery display, normal secondary re-lottery display) S216a is provided for performing a process of storing in the re-lottery display information storage area provided in the RAM 85).

  33 (first embodiment) and FIG. 41 (second embodiment) S243, S244, S247, S250, S251, S252, S255, S257, S259 and FIG. 35 (first embodiment and second embodiment), respectively. The re-lottery display information used in S308, S311 and the like (common in the embodiment) is re-lottery display information stored based on the symbol information command.

  Since the symbol information reception flag can identify the received symbol information command, when the contents of the command can be identified based on the received symbol information command, the above-described S214, S215, and S216a are It does not have to be provided. Conversely, if the type of the received symbol information command can be specified based on the information stored in S214, S215, S216a, S216 need not be provided.

  In the third embodiment configured as described above, the effect control commands used are partly different from those of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, and the effect control commands are partly different in this way. A part of the process executed by the control microcomputer 560 and a part of the process executed by the effect control microcomputer 800 are different, but based on the effect control command, the first and second embodiments are executed. The primary re-lottery display and the secondary re-lottery display similar to the respective forms are performed.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the high-accuracy base re-lottery display as the special secondary re-lottery display may be performed only when the high-accuracy re-lottery display as the primary re-lottery display is not performed. . Further, the high-accuracy base re-lottery display as the special secondary re-lottery display may be performed only when the high-accuracy re-lottery display as the primary re-lottery display is out of display. In the second embodiment described above, when the high base re-lottery display as the primary re-lottery display is not performed and when the high base re-lottery display as the primary re-lottery display results in a display error, the special 2 An example in which a high-accuracy high-base re-lottery display is performed as the next re-lottery display is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the high-accuracy base re-lottery display as the special secondary re-lottery display may be performed only when the high-base re-lottery display as the primary re-lottery display is not performed. . Further, the high-accuracy base re-lottery display as the special secondary re-lottery display may be performed only when the high-base re-lottery display as the primary re-lottery display is out of display. As described above, the high-accuracy base re-lottery display as the special secondary re-lottery display is at least either when the primary re-lottery display is not executed or when the display result is displayed in the primary re-lottery display. It may be executed at such time.

Next, main effects obtained by the embodiment described above will be described.
(1) As explained in the first embodiment, when the second probability variation big hit is made and the high probability base state is controlled after the end of the specific gaming state, as shown in FIG. Whether or not to control the probability change state as the high probability state is indicated by the positive re-lottery display, and whether to control the short-time state as the high base state by the high base re-lottery display as the normal secondary re-lottery display As shown in the figure, whether or not to control the high-probability state and the high-base state individually is indicated, and a high-accuracy high-base re-lottery display as a special secondary re-lottery display as shown in FIG. In some cases, whether the control is performed in the probability state and whether the control is performed in the high base state are collectively indicated. Thereby, the variation of the production | presentation display which shows whether it is controlled to a highly accurate high base state becomes abundant, and the interest of the player about the transition of a gaming state can be improved. Furthermore, when the primary re-lottery display is not executed and at least one of the cases where it is not indicated in the primary re-lottery display that control to the high probability state is performed, the specific gaming state is displayed by the high-accuracy base re-lottery display. Since it can be shown whether or not to control to a high-accuracy and high-base state after the end, it becomes a loser resurgence effect on whether or not it is controlled to a high-probability state, so that the player's interest in transitioning the gaming state Can be further improved.

  (2) As explained in the second embodiment, when the second probability variation big hit is reached and the high probability high base state is controlled after the end of the specific gaming state, the high as the first re-lottery display as shown in FIG. The base re-lottery display indicates whether or not the time base state is controlled as the high base state, and the high-probability re-lottery display as the normal secondary re-lottery display indicates whether or not to control the probability change state as the high probability state. As shown in FIG. 38, whether or not to control the high base state and the high probability state is individually indicated, and a high-accuracy high-base re-lottery display as a special secondary re-lottery display as shown in FIG. In some cases, whether the control is performed in the probability state and whether the control is performed in the high base state are collectively indicated. Thereby, the variation of the production | presentation display which shows whether it is controlled to a highly accurate high base state becomes abundant, and the interest of the player about the transition of a gaming state can be improved. Furthermore, when the primary re-lottery display is not executed and at least one of the cases where the control to the high base state is not indicated in the primary re-lottery display, the specific game state is displayed by the high-accuracy high-base re-lottery display. Since it can be indicated whether or not to control to the high-accuracy high-base state after the end, it becomes a loser-resurrection effect as to whether or not the high-base state is controlled, so that the player's interest in the transition of the gaming state Can be further improved.

(3) As shown in FIG. 15, FIG. 16, FIG. 37, FIG. 38, the timing for the primary re-lottery display is the timing before the big hit gaming state such that the timing at which the primary re-lottery display is performed is in the variable display. Is the timing after the start of the big hit gaming state, for example, both before the big hit gaming state such as during the decorative display variation display and after the big hit gaming state such as the ending display (4) As shown in FIG. 14 in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the second probability variation jackpot is specified by the symbol information command. Determines the decision result to control to the highly accurate base state, and decides to execute the special secondary re-lottery display by the variation pattern command When the result is specified, the normal jackpot display result is displayed as the variable display result based on the determination of the display result in S248 of FIG. 33 of the first embodiment and FIG. 41 of the second embodiment, Based on the determination of the display result in S256 of FIG. 33 and FIG. 41, the special secondary re-lottery display indicates that the high-accuracy and high-base state is set and the probability change time-short state is set. As a result, when controlling to the high-accuracy and high-base state after the big hit gaming state is finished, it is intended to control to the high-probability state or to control to the high-base state in the decorative display variation display before the special secondary re-lottery display is performed It is possible to prevent the inconvenience of the effect display such as being displayed. In addition, since the variation pattern command for designating the variation pattern is also used for designating the re-lottery display, the number of commands can be compared with the case where a dedicated command for re-lottery display for designating the re-lottery display is provided Can be reduced.

  (5) As shown in FIG. 42 and FIG. 43 in the third embodiment, by specifying the second probability variation big hit by the symbol information command, the determination result for controlling to the highly accurate high base state is specified, and When the determination result to execute the special secondary re-lottery display is specified by the symbol information command, S248 in FIG. 33 of the first embodiment and FIG. 41 of the second embodiment cited in the third embodiment. After the normal jackpot display result is displayed as the variable display result based on the determination of the display result by, the special secondary is based on the determination of the display result by S256 of FIGS. 33 and 41 cited in the third embodiment. In the re-lottery display, it is displayed that the high-accuracy and high-base state is set to the short time state. As a result, when controlling to the high-accuracy and high-base state after the big hit gaming state is finished, it is intended to control to the high-probability state or to control to the high-base state in the variation display of the decorative symbols before the special secondary re-lottery display is performed. It is possible to prevent the inconvenience of the effect display such as being displayed. In addition, since the symbol information command for designating symbol information is also used for designation related to the re-lottery display, the number of commands can be compared with the case where a dedicated command for re-lottery display for specifying the re-lottery display is provided. Can be reduced.

  (6) For example, in FIG. 9, the ratio at which the second probability variation big hit is selected in the low accuracy low base state is 10%, and the proportion at which the second probability variation big hit is selected in the high accuracy high base state is 60%. The low-accuracy base state is lower than the high-accuracy base state, as it is shown that the ratio of the second probability variation big hit is lower in the low-accuracy base state than in the high-accuracy base state. Thus, since the rate at which the second probability variation big hit occurs is low, the rate at which the high probability high base state is controlled after the big hit gaming state is low. However, for example, in the second probability variable big hit re-lottery display selection table of FIG. 13 that is used when determining the second probability variable big hit (probable change + time short hit), the special secondary re-lottery display is selected in the low probability low base state. The ratio is 45%, and the special secondary re-lottery display is selected in the high-accuracy base state at 30%. Since the ratio of selecting the lottery display is high, it is possible to increase the player's interest in the special secondary re-lottery display when the big hit gaming state is entered in the low probability low base state.

  (7) The game control microcomputer 560 performs initial setting of the random number circuit 503 from the start of power-on to the pachinko gaming machine 1 until the timer interrupt setting is performed, as in S15 of FIG. Since the value based on the ID number for identifying the game control microcomputer 560 in the initial setting is set as the initial value of the random number, the randomness of the random number generated by the random number circuit 503 can be improved. it can. In addition, since randomness of random numbers can be improved, the timing of random number generation can be made difficult to be recognized by a player or a game store, and by generating a capture signal using a radio signal to a gaming machine It is possible to prevent the condition for shifting to the big hit gaming state from being illegally established.

  (8) Whether or not each of a plurality of random number circuits having different ranges of numerical data that can be updated, such as the 12-bit random number circuit 503a and the 16-bit random number circuit 503b shown in FIG. Since it is configured, the range of the random value to be generated can be appropriately set by setting only the random number circuit to be used. Therefore, for example, when game control processing is performed using only random numbers generated by one of the two random number circuits 503a and 503b, unnecessary processing such as reading random numbers from a random number circuit that is not used for processing can be omitted. It is possible to reduce the control burden of the game control microcomputer 560.

  (9) As described above, since the arrangement of the count values counted by the random number circuit 503 is changed by S105 in FIG. 19 and the arrangement order from the initial value to the final value is updated, the random number circuit 503 is configured. Can further improve the randomness of the random number value generated.

  (10) Generally, when it is inspected whether or not the game control microcomputer 560 is a regular microcomputer, the inside of the microcomputer is imaged by X-rays, and the regular microcomputer is based on the imaging result. A test is performed to determine if the computer is a computer. Therefore, whether or not the game control microcomputer 560 includes the random number circuit 503 can be determined based on the X-ray imaging result. Therefore, by adopting a structure in which the random number circuit 503 is incorporated in the game control microcomputer 560, when the microcomputer is counterfeited, the counterfeiter of the random number circuit 503 considers that an imaging inspection is performed by X-rays. Since it is necessary to make even counterfeit, it can be made difficult to forge.

In that case, the production control microcomputer 800 recognizes the determination result of the big hit determination and the selection result of the big hit type based on the combination of the stop symbols designated by the command.

  (17) In the first embodiment described above, the high base re-lottery display or the high-accuracy high base re-lottery display is performed as the secondary re-lottery display, but the timing for performing these is the same timing at the end of the big hit gaming state An example is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a high base re-lottery display is performed as a secondary re-lottery display, a secondary re-lottery display is performed during a predetermined round in the big hit gaming state, and a high-accuracy high base is displayed as a secondary re-lottery display. When performing the re-lottery display, the high-base re-lottery display as the secondary re-lottery display is different from the high-accuracy high-base re-lottery display so that the secondary re-lottery display is performed at the end of the big hit gaming state. It may be performed at the timing. In that case, both the normal secondary re-lottery display and the special secondary re-lottery display may be performed. In this way, when both the normal secondary re-lottery display and the special secondary re-lottery display are performed, for example, in the previous re-lottery display, control is performed so that the portion to be completed in the subsequent re-lottery display is not completed. To do.

  (18) In the second embodiment described above, as the second re-lottery display, the high-accuracy re-lottery display or the high-accuracy high-base re-lottery display is performed, but the timing for performing these is the same timing as the end of the big hit gaming state An example is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a high-precision re-lottery display is performed as a secondary re-lottery display, a secondary re-lottery display is performed during a predetermined round in the big hit gaming state, and a high-reliable base is displayed as a secondary re-lottery display. When performing the re-lottery display, the high-accuracy re-lottery display as the secondary re-lottery display is different from the high-accuracy high-base re-lottery display, such as performing the secondary re-lottery display at the end of the big hit gaming state. It may be performed at the timing.

  (19) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, there is a re-lottery display that is not selected in each re-lottery display selection table due to the relationship between the jackpot type and the type of the re-lottery display. . However, the present invention is not limited to this, and such re-lottery display may be selectable based on the extracted value of R7. In that case, in the symbol effect determination process of FIG. 33, the display results determined in each of S246, S248, and S249 are different depending on the selected jackpot type and the re-lottery display as follows. In S246, the case where only the primary re-lottery display is performed when the time-short hit is hit, and the case where only the primary re-lottery display is made when the second probability variation big-spot is reached, respectively, before the first re-lottery display. A time and big hit display result is determined as a temporary stop symbol. Also, in S248, when only the first re-lottery display is performed when the time-hit jackpot is reached, the time-hit jackpot display result is determined as the variable display result before the big-hit gaming state, and normally 2 when the first probability variable jackpot is reached. When only the second re-lottery display is performed, and when only the second re-lottery display is normally performed when the second probable variation big hit is obtained, the first probable variable big hit display result is displayed as the fluctuation display result before the big hit gaming state. To decide. Moreover, in S249, when only the first re-lottery display is performed when the second probability variation jackpot is reached, the second probability variation jackpot display result is determined as the variation display result before the jackpot gaming state.
