Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Here, a pachinko gaming machine as a suitable example of the gaming machine according to the present invention will be described.
<First Embodiment>
As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the first embodiment is a game in which a game ball is fired (bulleted) into an internal game area 1 a, and a glass in the upper half of the front half thereof. A game board 1 constituting a game area 1a is installed on the back side of the board.

  The game board 1 includes a flat game board body 1b (made of wood or synthetic resin) serving as a mounting base for various members, and has a game area 1a surrounded by guide rails 2 on the front surface of the game board body 1b. ing. Further, front structural members 3, 3,... Are attached to the front surface of the game board main body 1b and outside the guide rail 2. Then, a game ball (hit ball; game medium) is launched from a launching device into a game area 1a surrounded by the guide rail 2 to play a game.

  At the approximate center of the game area 1a, a center case 20 is attached that forms a window 22 serving as a display area for the decorative special figure variation display game. Behind the window portion 22 formed in the center case 20, a display device 43 is arranged as an effect display device capable of executing a variable display game that displays a plurality of identification information in a variable manner. The display device 43 includes, for example, a liquid crystal display, and is arranged so that a display unit whose display contents can be changed is visible from the front side of the game board 1 through the window 22 of the center case 20. Note that the display device 43 is not limited to a device including a liquid crystal display, and may include a display such as an EL or a CRT.

  Further, in the game area 1a, there is provided a general diagram start gate 4, a general diagram storage display 15 for displaying the number of unprocessed times of a general variation display game, and a general diagram display 5 for displaying a general variation display game. It has been. Further, in the game area 1a, there are provided a first start winning opening 13 forming a first start winning area and a normal variable winning apparatus 7 forming a second start winning area. When the game ball wins the first start winning opening 13, the first special figure variation display game is executed as an auxiliary game, and when the game ball wins the normal variation winning device 7, the second game is played as an auxiliary game. A special figure variation display game is executed.

  In the game area 1a, a first special figure display 8 for displaying the first special figure fluctuation display game and a second special figure display 9 for displaying the second special figure fluctuation display game are provided. ing. Further, the first special figure storage display 18 for displaying the number of unprocessed times (first start memory) of the first special figure variation display game, and the number of unprocessed times (second start memory) of the second special figure variation display game. A second special figure memory display 19 for displaying is provided. In addition, the common figure memory display 15, the common figure display 5, the first special figure display 8, the second special figure display 9, the first special figure storage display 18, and the second special figure storage display 19 are: Together with a game state display LED (not shown) representing the game state, it is integrally provided as a segment LED.

  Furthermore, the game area 1a has an attacker-type opening / closing door 10a that can be opened by rotating in a direction in which the upper end side is tilted toward the front side, and a first special figure variation display game and a second special figure variation display game. As a result, the special variable winning device 10 for converting from the closed state (a disadvantageous state for the player) to the open state (a state advantageous to the player) depending on the result, the game ball that did not win the winning port, etc. An out-hole 11 for collection is provided. In addition, the game area 1a is provided with general winning holes 12, 12,..., A windmill 14 as a batting direction changing member, a number of obstacle nails (not shown), and the like.

  A gate SW4a (shown in FIG. 2) for detecting a game ball that has passed through the general start gate 4 is provided in the general start gate 4. Then, when the game ball that has been driven into the game area 1a passes through the normal diagram start gate 4, a normal variation display game is performed. In addition, the normal variation display game cannot be started, for example, the normal variation display game has already been played and the normal variation display game has not been completed, When 7 is converted to the open state and the game ball passes through the general figure start gate 4, if the number is less than the upper limit of the general figure start memory number, the normal figure start memory number is incremented by one and the normal figure start is started. One memory is stored. Note that the start memory of the general map variable display game is displayed on the general map memory display 15 provided with LEDs.

A general-purpose (ordinary symbol) variable display game is executed by a general-purpose display 5 provided in the game area 1a. In addition, you may make it display a common figure change display game in a part of display area of the display apparatus 43. In this case, for example, a number, a symbol, a character design etc. are used as an identification symbol, and this is changed for a predetermined time. After being displayed, it is performed by stopping display. If the stop display of the usual figure change display game becomes a special result mode, the opening and closing members 7a and 7a of the normal change winning device 7 are opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds). The Thereby, it becomes easy to win a game ball in the normal variation winning device 7, and it is easy to start the second special figure variation display game.

  The normal variation winning device 7 as the second start winning area includes a pair of left and right opening / closing members 7a, 7a which constitute a winning facilitating means, and is disposed below the first starting winning opening 13, and this opening / closing member 7a, 7a is normally closed with an interval of about the diameter of the game ball, that is, the game ball is held in a difficult-to-win state (a disadvantageous state for the player). If the result of this is a predetermined stop display mode, a solenoid (transmission control SOL 7b, shown in FIG. 2) serving as a conversion control means is opened in a reverse “C” shape and is played in the normal variation winning device 7 It is possible to change to an easy-to-win state (a state advantageous to the player) where the balls can easily flow.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 100 (game control device 30) of the present embodiment can generate a short-time operation state (specific game state, specific variation display game) as a game state based on the result form of the special figure variation display game. ing. At this time, the short operation state (specific game state, specific variation display game) is a state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is more likely to be an open state than the normal operation state. At this time, in the short operation state, the execution time of the above-mentioned general-purpose variable display game is controlled to be shorter than the long execution time in the normal operation state (for example, 10 seconds is 1 second). Control is performed so that the number of times the normally variable winning device 7 is opened is substantially increased. That is, the normal variation winning device 7 functions as a winning facilitating means capable of converting from a closed state in which a game ball is unacceptable to an open state in which a game ball is easily acceptable. Further, in the short-time operation state, when the normal variation winning game 7 is released as a result of winning the normal-variation display game, the release time is controlled to be longer than the short open time of the normal operation state. (For example, 0.3 seconds is 1.8 seconds). Also, in the short-time operation state, the normal variation winning device 7 is opened not more than once but multiple times (for example, two times) instead of once for the result of one hit of the normal variation display game. Further, in the short-time operation state, the probability that the hit result of the normal-variable display game is higher than that in the normal operation state is controlled. That is, the number of times of opening of the normal variation winning device 7 is increased as compared with the normal operation state, and it becomes easier for a game ball to win the normal variation winning device 7 and the start of the second special figure variable display game is facilitated.

  The first start winning opening 13 is provided with a first start opening SW13a (shown in FIG. 2), and based on the detection of the game ball by the first start opening SW13a, the first special figure variation as an auxiliary game is provided. A start right to start the display game is generated. Further, a second start opening SW7d (shown in FIG. 2) is provided inside the normal variation winning device 7, and a second special figure as an auxiliary game is based on the detection of a game ball by the second start opening SW7d. The start right to start the variable display game is generated. The right to start the first special figure variation display game is stored as the first start memory within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). The first start memory is displayed on the first special figure memory display 18. The start right to start the second special figure variation display game is stored as the second start memory within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). The second start memory is displayed on the second special figure memory display 19.

  Then, in a state where the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game can be started and the first start memory number and the second start memory number are 0, for example, the first start prize opening When the game ball wins in 13, the first start memory is stored with the generation of the start right, the first start memory number is incremented by 1, and the first special figure is immediately based on the first start memory. The variable display game is started, and at this time, the first start memory number is decremented by one. Further, in the state where the first special figure variation display game or the second special figure variation display game can be started and the first start memory number and the second start memory number are 0, for example, the second start prize opening When the game ball wins the normal variation winning device 7 having the following, the second start memory is stored as the start right is generated, the second start memory number is incremented by 1, and immediately based on the second start memory. Thus, the second special figure variation display game is started, and at this time, the second start memory number is decremented by one.

  On the other hand, a state in which the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game cannot be started immediately, for example, the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game has already been performed, and the special figure fluctuation display. If a game ball is won in the first start winning opening 13 when the game is not finished or in a special game state, if the first start memory number is less than the upper limit number (for example, less than four) The first start memory number is incremented by 1, and one first start memory is stored. Similarly, in this case, when a game ball wins the normal variation winning device 7 that forms the second starting winning opening, if the second starting stored number is less than the upper limit number (for example, less than four), the second starting stored number is One is added and one second start memory is stored.

  When the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is ready to start, the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display is based on the first start memory or the second start memory. The game starts. At this time, the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game are not executed simultaneously, and the second special figure fluctuation display game is executed with priority over the first special figure fluctuation display game. It is like that. That is, when there is a first start memory and a second start memory, and when the special figure fluctuation display game can be executed, the second special figure fluctuation display game is executed.

  The first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game as the auxiliary games are executed by the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 provided in the game area 1a. This is performed by variably displaying a plurality of pieces of identification information and then stopping and displaying a predetermined result mode. In addition, a decorative special figure fluctuation display game in which a plurality of types of identification information (for example, numbers, symbols, character designs, etc.) are variably displayed on the display device 43 corresponding to each special figure fluctuation display game is executed. ing. If the display form of the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 becomes a special result form (for example, “7”) as a result of the special figure variation display game, a big hit is obtained. Special gaming state (so-called big hit state). Correspondingly, the display mode of the display device 43 is also a special result mode (for example, any one of the numbers in the flat order such as “7, 7, 7”). The first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 may be separate displays or the same display, but a special figure change display game is displayed independently. In addition, the display device 43 may use different display devices and different display areas in the first special map fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game, or use the same display device and display area. However, the decoration special figure variation display game is displayed independently. In addition, the game machine may not be provided with the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9, and the special figure variation display game may be executed only by the display device 43.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment can generate a probable change state (a specific game state, a specific change display game) as a game state based on a result form of the special figure change display game. This probability variation state (specific game state, specific variation display game) is a state in which the probability of a hit result in the special figure variation display game is higher than the normal probability state. It should be noted that the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation regardless of whether the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game results in the result mode of the special figure fluctuation display game. Both display games are in a probable state. In addition, the probability variation state and the short-time operation state can be generated independently, and both can be generated at the same time, or only one can be generated.

  The special variable winning device 10 includes a large winning opening that is opened and closed by an attacker-type opening / closing door 10a that can be opened by rotating in a direction in which the upper end side tilts toward the front side. By converting the winning opening from the closed state to the opened state, the inflow of game balls into the large winning opening is facilitated, and a predetermined game value (prize ball) is given to the player. The opening / closing door 10a is driven by, for example, a solenoid (a special winning opening SOL10b, shown in FIG. 2) as a driving device. In addition, a count SW 10c (shown in FIG. 2) for detecting a game ball that has entered the big prize opening is arranged inside the big prize opening (winning area).

  In addition, in each general winning opening 12 provided in the game area 1a, a winning opening SW 12a (shown in FIG. 2) for detecting a game ball that has entered the general winning opening 12 is disposed. The game balls that are driven into the game area 1a by starting the game are awarded to the general prize opening 12, 12,..., The normal variable prize winning device 7, the first start prize winning port 13, the special variable prize winning device 10, etc. When a prize is awarded to any of the mouths, a predetermined number of prize balls corresponding to the respective prize mouths are paid out by the payout control device 125 (shown in FIG. 2). The payout control device 125 is controlled under the control of the game control device 30 so that a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the pachinko gaming machine 100 includes a game control device 30 as a game control means for controlling a special figure variation display game performed on the display device 43, and effect control from the game control device 30. And an effect control device 40 as effect control means for controlling the effect of the special figure variation display game on the display device 43 based on the command.

  The game control device 30 includes a game one-chip microcomputer 31 including a CPU 31a, a ROM 31b, a RAM 31c, and the like, and an input interface (input I / F) 32, an output interface (output I / F) 33, an external communication terminal 34, and the like. It is configured.

  In the gaming one-chip microcomputer 31, the internal CPU 31a includes a control unit and a calculation unit, and performs calculation control, and also generates various random numbers such as a jackpot determination random number for each special figure variable display game.

  In addition, when starting each special figure fluctuation display game (decoration special figure fluctuation display game) based on the start winning, the CPU 31a includes the fluctuation pattern of the special figure fluctuation display game, that is, the fluctuation display time of the identification information. Determine the fluctuation pattern and reach pattern (type of reach action).

  The RAM 31c inside the game one-chip microcomputer 31 stores an ON signal of the first start port SW13a provided in the first start port 13 and the second start port SW7d provided in the normal variation winning device 7. An area, a storage area for the various random numbers, a work area for the CPU 31a, and the like. In other words, the RAM 31c stores the winning game balls detected by the CPU 31a as a start winning game, whereby the game control device 30 determines the number of winning game balls won in the starting winning area. It functions as a start winning storage means capable of storing up to a predetermined number. More specifically, as the first winning storage means capable of storing the number of winning game balls to the first start winning opening 13, and the second winning number capable of storing the number of winning game balls to the normal variable winning device 7. Functions as a winning memory means.

A game control program and control data are written in the ROM 31b of the game one-chip microcomputer 31, and the occurrence of a big hit in each special figure variation display game is determined in accordance with the various random numbers described above. For this purpose, a jackpot determination value, a variation pattern (first half variation pattern, second half variation pattern), a reach pattern (reach action type) determination value, etc. are stored. Specifically, for example, in the ROM 31b, the latter half fluctuation pattern table corresponding to the game result ("big hit" or "out of game") of the special figure fluctuation display game, and the game result ("big hit" or The first half variation pattern table corresponding to the “loss”) is stored, and one second half variation pattern of the second half variation pattern table and one first variation pattern of the first half variation pattern table A variable time command table related to a variable time command (a continuous notice command, a continuous notice change command, a continuous notice switch command, a continuous notice end command, etc.) configured by a combination is stored.
Of the variation patterns, the first variation pattern is, for example, the same pattern in the left and right variation display areas in one special figure variation display game performed in each of the left, middle, and right variation display areas. The second half variation pattern means a variation display mode after the symbols in the left and right variation display areas are stopped at the same symbol. That is, after the reach state has occurred, the left and right change display areas are stopped at the same pattern, and the change display mode until the state in which the intermediate change display area is still changing (reach state) occurs is the first half change pattern. The fluctuation display mode is the latter half fluctuation pattern. Of the fluctuation patterns, the fluctuation display mode of the first half fluctuation pattern and the second half fluctuation pattern is, for example, the first half fluctuation pattern until the middle fluctuation display area in which the reach state has occurred and the fluctuation is temporarily stopped or the low speed fluctuation is started. The design may be changed as appropriate, for example, the subsequent fluctuation display may be the latter half fluctuation pattern.

  Further, the input interface 32 is connected to a first start port SW13a, a second start port SW7d, a winning port SW12a,..., A gate SW4a, a count SW10c, a glass frame opening SW146, and a gaming machine frame opening through a low pass filter and a buffer gate. The SW 121, the ball break SW 122, and the like are connected. The input interface 32 relays various signals input from these and outputs them to the gaming one-chip microcomputer 31. The glass frame opening SW 146 is for detecting that the clear member holding frame is opened, and the gaming machine frame opening SW 121 is for detecting that the front frame is opened. The ball break SW 122 is provided on a chute that guides the game ball supplied from the island facility to the discharge device, and detects that there is no game ball in the chute.

  In addition, various control signals output from the gaming one-chip microcomputer 31 are input to the output interface 33. These control signals are relayed by the output interface 33, and through the output port and driver (not shown), the first special figure display 8, the first special figure storage display 18, the second special figure display 9, 2 special figure memory display 19, universal map display 5, universal figure storage display 15, general electric power SOL7b, big prize opening SOL10b, external terminal board 16 connected to a management device outside the gaming machine, payout control device 125, It is output to the production control device 40.

The effect control device 40 includes an arithmetic processing CPU 40a, ROM 40b, RAM 40c, VDP 40d, and the like, and also includes a communication interface (communication I / F) 40d and an input / output interface (input / output I / F) 40e. Also, an image ROM 40f storing images and video data, a VDP (Video Display Processor) as a graphic processor
40g, a sound ROM 40h storing sound data, and a sound LSI 40i for controlling sound output.

  This effect control device 40 is based on various signals (effect control data (such as various commands)) received from the game control device 30 via the communication interface 40d (under the control of the game control device 30). Control is performed. The input / output interface 40e receives a detection signal from an operation button 41 provided on the front surface of the gaming machine, and the effect control device 40 is based on this detection signal (the game control device 30). The game effect is controlled (under the control of).

  Furthermore, various control signals output from the CPU 40a are input to the input / output interface 40e, and these control signals are relayed by the input / output interface 40e, and the output of the movable effect device via an output port and a driver (not shown). It is output to various LED boards 44 provided with decoration LED provided in the accessory drive motor 42, the game board 1, and the clear member holding frame covering the front of the game board 1, and the production of the game is performed. ing. Of the control signals output from the CPU 40a, a control signal related to image control is output from the CPU 40a to the VDP 40g, and image data based on the control signal is output from the VDP 40g to the display device 43.

  In addition, power is supplied to the game control device 30 from a power supply device (not shown), and power is also supplied to the other devices from the power supply device. In addition, the power supply device is equipped with a backup power supply to enable power supply even when the external power supply is interrupted, such as during a power failure, and is stored in the volatile memory of each control device during a power failure. The loss of recorded data is prevented.

In these control devices, the following game control is performed.
The game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 extracts a random number value for hit determination of the usual figure based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the gate SW4a provided in the usual figure start gate 4, and stores it in the ROM 31b. Compared with the stored determination value, a process of determining whether or not the normal-game fluctuation display game is missed is performed. Then, after the identification symbol is variably displayed for a predetermined time on the general symbol display 5, a process for displaying a general symbol variation display game to be stopped is performed. If the result of this normal map change display game is a win, a special result mode is displayed on the general map display 5 and the general electric power SOL 7b is operated to open and close the opening / closing members 7a, 7a of the normal variable winning device 7 for a predetermined time. The opening control is performed as described above (for example, for 0.5 seconds). In addition, when the result of the normal map change display game is out of order, control is performed to display the result form of the shift on the general map display 5.

  Further, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the first start port SW13a provided in the first start winning port 13, the jackpot determination random number value of the first special figure variation display game is extracted and stored in the RAM 31c. Processing to store as start memory is performed. That is, the game control device 30 constitutes a first winning storage means for storing a winning of a game ball to the first starting winning opening (first starting winning area) as a first starting memory. Similarly, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the second start port SW7d provided in the normal variation winning device 7, the random number value for determining the big hit of the second special figure variation display game is extracted and stored in the RAM 31c. Processing to store as start memory is performed. That is, the game control device 30 constitutes a second winning storage means for storing the winning of the game ball to the second starting winning opening (normal variation winning device 7, second starting winning area) as the second starting memory. Accordingly, the game control device 30 stores the winning prize of the game ball to the starting winning area (the first starting winning prize port 13, the normal variable winning prize device 7) up to a predetermined upper limit number as the starting memory for each winning. Make a means.

  Also, at the start of the first special figure variation display game based on the first start memory, the big hit determination random number value stored in the first start memory is determined for the first special figure variable display game stored in the ROM 31b. Compared with the value, a process of determining a miss of the first special figure variation display game is performed. Similarly, at the start of the second special figure fluctuation display game based on the second start memory, the jackpot determination random number value stored in the second start memory is used for the second special figure fluctuation display game stored in the ROM 31b. Compared with the determination value, a process of determining a missed hit of the second special figure variation display game is performed.

  Further, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, based on the start-up memory, the identification symbols are displayed on the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 in a varying manner and then stopped. Processing to display a special figure variation display game is performed. That is, the game control device 30 serves as a game execution control means capable of controlling the execution of the special figure variation display game based on the start-up memory. More specifically, as the first execution control means for controlling the execution of the first special figure fluctuation display game based on the first start memory, and the second special figure fluctuation display game based on the second start memory. It functions as a second execution control means for performing control.

  In addition, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, when the first start memory and the second start memory are stored, the execution control of the second special figure variable display game is executed. It is designed to execute in preference to execution control. That is, when the game control device 30 stores the start memory in the first start storage means (game control device 30) and the second start storage means (game control device 30), the second execution control means (game control) A priority execution control means for executing the control by the device 30) with priority over the control by the first execution control means (game control device 30).

  Then, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, when the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, the special figure mode is displayed on the special figure display and a process for generating a special game state is performed. . In the process of generating the special game state, for example, the opening / closing door 10a of the special variable winning device 10 is opened by the special winning opening SOL10b, and control is performed so that the gaming ball can flow into the special winning opening. Then, a condition that either a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the grand prize opening or a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds or 1 second) elapses from the opening of the big prize opening is achieved. Opening the grand prize opening until one round is defined as one round, and this is repeated (repeated) for a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 times or twice) (cycle game). Thus, the pachinko gaming machine 100 functions as a gaming machine that generates a special gaming state that can give a predetermined gaming value to the player based on the result mode of the special figure variation display game. When the result of the special figure variation display game is out of order, the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 are controlled to display the result form of the deviation.

  Further, the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 executes a specific variation display game different from the special figure variation display game based on the establishment of the specific condition. Specifically, processing is performed to generate a specific gaming state (time-short operation state, probability changing state) in which the normal variation winning device 7 is converted to the open state more frequently than the normal state. In other words, the game control device 30 serves as a specific game state generating unit that generates a specific game state for controlling the conversion control by the conversion control unit (ordinary variation winning device 7) to be executed more than the normal game state in a predetermined period.

  Further, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, when a plurality of start memories for the first start memory or the second start memory are stored, a plurality of special figure fluctuations corresponding to the plurality of start memories are stored. Consecutive effect execution control means for executing a continuous effect state for continuously effecting the displayed game is configured, and either the first prize storage means (game control device 30) or the second prize storage means (game control device 30). A pseudo-continuous effect that executes a pseudo-continuous effect state in which a unit variable display is stopped once after a plurality of pieces of identification information are displayed in a variable manner for a predetermined time in a single variable display game based on one start-up memory stored and held. It constitutes an execution control means.

  It should be noted that the value of the second special figure variation display game is given to the player in the special game state or after the special game state ends, rather than the first special figure variation display game. The value given to the player is high because, for example, the distribution ratio of the number of rounds in the special gaming state is advantageous to the player (the first special figure variable display game has an occurrence rate of 15R probability variation big hit: 40%, The 2R probability variable jackpot occurrence rate: 20%, 15R normal jackpot occurrence rate: 40%, while the second special figure fluctuation display game is 15R probability variation jackpot occurrence rate: 55%, 2R probability variation jackpot occurrence rate: 5%, 15R normal big hit occurrence rate: 40%). In addition to the fact that the number of rounds in the special gaming state is large (the number of prize balls that can be obtained by the player is large), the second special figure variation display game is more The probability of becoming higher may be increased. Further, the value in production may include a tendency to reach a reach state, a reach production that does not usually appear easily (a so-called super reach or a premier reach), and the like.

  In addition, the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 receives game balls input from sensors (first starting port SW13a, second starting port SW7d, winning port SW12a, count SW10c) provided at various winning ports. Based on the detection signal, the payout motor of the payout control device 125 is controlled so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out.

  In addition to the start timing of the special figure variation display game, the game control device 30 determines the jackpot determination random number value stored in the first start memory or the second start memory, and the hit value (determination) stored in the ROM 31b. Value) and a process for determining whether or not a special result mode is derived in the special figure fluctuation display game based on the start memory for the start memory that has not yet executed the special figure fluctuation display game. It has become.

  In addition, in the effect control device 40, based on a command signal from the game control device 30 (change time command, change stop command, etc.), the display device 43 displays a decoration special figure change display game corresponding to the special figure change display game. Controls processing and effects.

  Next, a continuous effect state in which a notice effect is continuously performed over a plurality of variable display games will be described. This continuous performance state is one of the preliminary performances that inform the player in advance that there is a possibility that a special game state may be derived in the special figure fluctuation display game. Whether or not the random number value matches the preset hit value is executed in advance of the start timing of the special figure fluctuation display game, and the result of this determination (the big hit determination irregularity that matches the hit value in the start memory) Is based on whether or not there is a numerical value), and the advance notice is repeated over a plurality of special figure fluctuation display games, thereby notifying the result mode in the special figure fluctuation display game that is performed based on the start memory that has not yet been executed. It is. That is, the continuous performance state improves the interest of the game by making the player have a sense of expectation by suggesting that there is a start memory in which the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit in the start memory. .

  First, the control of the game (continuous notice (continuous effect state)) in the game control device 30 will be described. The game control mainly includes a main process and a timer interrupt process performed every predetermined time (for example, every 2 msec).

[Main processing]
In the main process, the entire program is controlled. As shown in FIG. 3, in the main process, first, the game control device 30 performs a process at the start of the program. As processing at the time of starting the program, the game control device 30 performs initialization processing (step S1) when power is turned on, and performs power failure recovery processing (step S2).

Processing (step S5) is performed, and processing for permitting interruption (step S6) is performed.

  Then, the game control device 30 checks the power failure inspection area of the RAM 31c, and determines whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S7). Note that, in the power failure inspection area, check data is set when the power of the gaming machine is cut off due to a power failure, and the check data is not normally stored. Therefore, it can be determined whether or not a power failure has occurred by determining the presence or absence of the check data.

  In the determination of whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S7), if a power failure has not occurred (step S7; No), the game control device 30 returns to the process for prohibiting the above-described interruption (step S4), Thereafter, if the power is not shut off, the process of prohibiting interruption (step S4) repeats the determination of whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S7).

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S7), if a power failure has occurred (step S7; Yes), the game control device 30 performs processing (step S8) when a power failure occurs. Immediately after the occurrence of a power failure, the backup power supply supplies power that can execute the processing when the power failure occurs.

  In this process when a power failure occurs, first, a process for prohibiting interruption is performed. And the process which turns off all the output ports is performed, and the process which clears a power failure inspection area | region is performed. Further, after performing the process of saving the power failure recovery inspection area check data in the power failure recovery inspection area, performing the process of calculating the checksum when the power of the RAM 31c is turned off, and performing the process of prohibiting access to the RAM 31c, the gaming machine Wait for the power to turn off. Thus, by saving the power failure recovery inspection area check data in the power failure recovery inspection area and calculating the checksum at the time of power interruption, the information stored in the RAM 31c before the power interruption is correctly backed up. Can be determined at power-on.

Next, the game control device 30 determines whether or not there is a signal input from the first start port SW13a, the second start port SW7d, the gate SW4a, the winning ports SW12a, 12a,. A winning opening switch monitoring process (step g) for monitoring whether or not a signal is input is performed.

  Then, the game control device 30 performs an error monitoring process (step h) for monitoring each signal and an error, and performs a first special figure game process (step i) and a second for performing a process related to the first special figure variation display game. A second special figure game process (step j) for performing a process related to the special figure variable display game and a general figure game process (step k) for performing a process related to the general figure variable display game are performed.

  Next, the game control device 30 is provided in the pachinko gaming machine 100, and performs a segment LED editing process (step l) for performing a process related to a segment LED that displays various information related to the game. And the game control apparatus 30 performs the external information edit process (step m) which performs the process which sets the signal output to an external management apparatus to an output buffer. Next, the game control device 30 performs a process of declaring the end of an interrupt (step n), performs a process of restoring the saved register data (step o), and then performs a process of permitting an interrupt (step p). To end timer interrupt processing.

[Starter 1 monitoring process]
As shown in FIG. 7, in the start port 1 monitoring process, first, the game control device 30 determines whether or not there is a start winning of a game ball at the first start winning port 13 (step i11).

  In determining whether or not there is a game ball start winning in the first start winning port 13 (step i11), the determination is made based on the presence or absence of the detection signal of the game ball output from the first start port SW13a. When it is determined whether or not there is a start winning of a game ball in the first start winning opening 13 (step i11), if there is no starting win (step i11; No), the start opening 1 monitoring process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not there is a start winning of a game ball in the first start winning opening 13 (step i11), if there is a start winning (step i11; Yes), the game control device 30 stores the first start memory. A process of acquiring the number (step i12) is performed, and it is determined whether or not the first start memory number is 4 or more (step i13).

  In the determination of whether or not the first start memory number is 4 or more (step i13), if the first start memory number is 4 or more (step i13; Yes), that is, the upper limit value of the first start memory number is set. If exceeded, the game control device 30 ends the start port 1 monitoring process.

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the first start memory number is 4 or more (step i13), if the first start memory number is not 4 or more (step i13; No), the game control device 30 performs the first start. A process of incrementing the stored number by 1 (step i14) is performed.

  After performing the process of incrementing the first start memory number by 1 (step i14), the game control device 30 stores the big hit random number in the big hit random number save area corresponding to the updated first start memory number (step i15). ), A process of storing the jackpot symbol random number (step i16).

  The game control device 30 further performs a process (step i17) for extracting a reach determination random number value for determining whether or not to generate a reach state in the first special figure variation display game, and determines a variation pattern. The fluctuation pattern determining random number extraction process (step i18) is performed. Then, the game control device 30 performs the special figure hold information determination process (step i19) based on the jackpot random number, the reach determination random number value, and the variation pattern determination random number corresponding to the acquired first start memory number, that is, the hold A pre-reading process for determining whether or not a jackpot determination random number value that matches the winning value is stored in the first start memory that has been stored and whether or not to execute a continuous advance notice before the start of the first special figure variable display game. Do.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the special figure hold information determination process is a process for controlling the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game based on the start-up memory, and the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game. This process is common to both.

  In the special figure hold information determination process, first, the game control device 30 performs a process (step S11) of acquiring the big hit random number stored in step i15 of the start port 1 monitoring process. And the game control apparatus 30 performs the process (step S12) which acquires the big hit random number determination table corresponding to a game state. Specifically, for example, when the gaming state is a low probability state (normal probability state), a table storing only a predetermined number of first determination values as a winning value is acquired. On the other hand, when the gaming state is a high probability state (probability variation state), for example, a table in which a second determination value different from the first determination value is stored in addition to a predetermined number of first determination values as a jackpot value. get.

  Next, the game control device 30 determines whether or not there is a hit value for the big hit random number stored in step i15 of the start port 1 monitoring process (step S13). In the determination of whether or not the big hit random number has a hit value (step S13), when the big hit random number has a hit value (step S13; Yes), processing for setting the big hit information (step S14) is performed. On the other hand, if it is determined whether or not there is a winning value for the big hit random number (step S13), if there is no winning value for the big hit random number (step S13; No), a process of setting outlier information (step S20) is performed. The process proceeds to S21.

  Next, the game control device 30 performs a process (step S15) of acquiring the jackpot symbol random number stored in step i16 of the start port 1 monitoring process and a process of acquiring a jackpot symbol random number determination table (step S16). . Then, the game control device 30 determines whether or not the jackpot symbol random number stored in step i16 of the start port 1 monitoring process is a symbol that generates a high probability state (for example, “7, 7, 7”, etc.). The determination is made by comparing with the determination value stored in the symbol random number determination table (step S17).

  In the determination of whether or not the symbol generates a high probability state (step S17), if the symbol is a symbol that generates a high probability state (step S17; Yes), the game control device 30 generates a high probability state. The process (step S18) which sets the high probability symbol information to be performed is performed. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the symbol is a symbol that generates a high probability state (step S17), if the symbol is not a symbol that generates a high probability state (step S17; No), the game control device 30 generates a low probability state. The process (step S19) which sets the low probability symbol information to be performed is performed.

  Next, the game control device 30 performs a variation pattern determination process (step S21) for determining a variation pattern in the special figure variation display game.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in this variation pattern determination process, first, the process of obtaining the reach determination random number extracted in step i17 of the start port 1 monitoring process (step S31) is performed, and the reach determination random number determination table is also used. The process (step S32) which acquires is performed. The latter half of the variation pattern is determined by comparison with the determination value stored in the reach determination random number determination table. That is, by determining the latter half fluctuation pattern, it is determined whether or not a reach state occurs.

  And the game control apparatus 30 performs the process (step S33) which determines the latter half fluctuation | variation pattern by comparing the reach determination random number acquired by step S31, and the reach determination random number determination table acquired by step S32. . More specifically, the determination of the latter half fluctuation pattern is based on the game result (big hit or miss) of the special figure fluctuation display game and the probability state (normal probability state or probability change state) of the special figure fluctuation display game as the current gaming state. ), The operation state (normal operation state or specific game state) of the normally variable winning device 7 as the current game state, the production state (normal state or continuous notice state) as the current game state, the starting memory number, etc. Based on the comparison with the reach determination random number determination table, the latter half of the variation patterns in the special figure variation display game is determined.

  Next, the game control device 30 performs a process (step S34) of acquiring the random number for determining the variation pattern extracted in step i18 of the start port 1 monitoring process (step S34), and a process of acquiring the random number determination table for determining the variation pattern (step S34). S35) is performed. Note that the first half variation pattern of the variation patterns can be determined by comparison with the determination values stored in the variation pattern determination random number determination table.

  Then, the game control device 30 determines the first half variation pattern by comparing the variation pattern determination random number acquired in step S34 with the variation pattern determination random number determination table acquired in step S35 (step S36). I do.

  Next, the game control device 30 confirms whether or not the variation pattern constituted by the latter half variation pattern determined in step S33 and the former variation pattern determined in step S36 is a variation pattern by continuous notice. Thus, it is determined whether or not the continuous notice is executed (step S37). In the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous notice (step S37), when the continuous notice is executed (step S37; Yes), the process of setting the continuous notice information to be transmitted to the effect control device 40 (step S38). ) And a process of setting a continuous notice flag (step S39).

  Next, the game control device 30 determines whether or not the start memory that triggered the execution of the continuous notice is based on the first start memory (step S40). In the determination of whether or not the starting memory is based on the first starting memory (step S40), if the starting memory is based on the first starting memory (step S40; Yes), the first special figure notice is given. Processing for setting a flag (step S41) is performed, and the variation pattern determination processing is terminated. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the start memory is based on the first start memory (step S40), if the start memory is not based on the first start memory (step S40; No), the variation pattern determination process Exit.

  In the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous notice (step S37), when the continuous notice is not executed (step S37; No), the latter half variation pattern determined in step S33 and the determination in step S36. A process (step S42) for setting fluctuation pattern information related to the fluctuation pattern constituted by the first half fluctuation pattern is performed, and the fluctuation pattern determination process is terminated.

  When the variation pattern determination process ends as described above, the process returns to FIG. 9 and the special figure hold information determination process ends. Then, the game control device 30 performs continuous notice count determination processing (step i20).

  As shown in FIG. 11, in this continuous notice number determination process, the game control device 30 first determines whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S51). The continuous notice flag is set when it is determined that the continuous notice is executed in the above-described variation pattern determination process. In the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S51), if there is a continuous notice flag (step S51; Yes), it is determined whether or not the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S52). I do. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S51), if there is no continuous notice flag (step S51; No), the continuous notice number determination process is terminated. In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S52), if the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S52; Yes), whether or not there is a first special figure notice flag. Is determined (step S53). The first special figure notice flag is set when the execution of the continuous notice is determined based on the first start memory in the above-described variation pattern determination process. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S52), if the continuous notice number counter is not “0” (step S52; No), the continuous notice number determination process ends.

  In the determination of whether or not there is the first special figure notice flag (step S53), if there is the first special figure notice flag (step S53; Yes), the game control device 30 is stored in the first start memory. The processing for obtaining the jackpot determination random number value (step S54) is performed, and it is determined whether or not there is a start memory storing the jackpot determination random value that matches the hit value in the first start memory (step S56). Do. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not there is the first special figure notice flag (step S53), if there is no first special figure notice flag (step S53; No), the game control device 30 stores the second start figure memory. The processing for obtaining the jackpot determination random number value that has been made (step S55) is performed, and it is determined whether or not there is a start memory storing the jackpot determination random value that matches the hit value in the second start memory (step S56). I do.

  In the determination (step S56) whether the big hit determination random number value that matches the hit value is stored in the acquired start memory (first start memory or second start memory), the big hit determination randomness that matches the hit value When there is a numerical value (step S56; Yes), a process (step S57) of setting the number of starting memories until the starting memory in which the random number value for jackpot determination that matches the winning value is stored is set as the value of the continuous notice count counter. In addition, the number of starting memories up to the starting memory storing the jackpot determination random number value that matches the winning value is stored as the scheduled number of consecutive notice executions, and the continuous notice number determination process is terminated. In the process of setting the starting memory number up to the starting memory in which the big hit determination random number value that matches the winning value is stored (step S57), the first winning memory and the second starting memory are referred to, and the big hit that matches the winning value A process of setting the number of start memories to be digested in accordance with the digest order until the start memory in which the determination random number value is stored is performed.

Then, the continuous notice number determination process is terminated. In the process of setting the start memory number to the value of the continuous notice number counter (step S58), the first start memory number acquired in step S54 or the second start memory number acquired in step S55 is set. .

  Note that the method of setting the value of the continuous notice counter in step S58 is not limited to this. For example, when the big hit determination random number value is set from 0 to 649 and the win value is 0, the acquired start If the jackpot determination random number value in the memory (first start memory or second start memory) is between 1 and 199, “2” is set in the continuous notice count counter, and the jackpot determination random number value is If it is between 200 and 599, “3” is set in the continuous notice count counter, and if the jackpot determination random number is between 600 and 649, “4” is set in the continuous notice count counter. May be set.

In the determination of whether or not the big hit determination random number value that matches the hit value is stored in the second start memory (step S101), the second start that is currently being stored newly after the continuous notice flag is set. It is determined whether or not the jackpot determination random number value that matches the winning value is stored in memory, that is, whether or not it is a big hit in the variable display game based on the starting memory. In the determination of whether or not the big hit determination random number value that matches the hit value is stored in the second start memory (step S101), the big hit determination random number value that matches the hit value is not stored in the second start memory. In the case (step S101; No), a process of incrementing the value of the continuous notice count counter by 1 (step S102) is performed, a process of setting a continuous notice change flag (step S103) is performed, and the continuous notice change control process is terminated. . When this continuous notice change flag is set, a continuous notice change command is output from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 at the start of the special figure variation display game. As a result, even if the number of games up to the start memory in which the big hit determination random number value that matches the hit value is stored by the new second start memory that is preferentially digested over the first start memory increases, The number of times can be increased by that amount, and the continuous notice can be executed without causing the player to feel uncomfortable.

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the big hit determination random number value that matches the hit value is stored in the second start memory (step S101), the big hit determination random number value that matches the hit value is stored in the second start memory. If yes (step S101; Yes), a process for clearing the first special figure notice flag (step S104) is performed, and a process for setting the value of the continuous notice number counter to “0” (step S105) is performed. The change control process ends. As a result, when a big hit determination random number value that matches the winning value is stored in the new second starting memory that is preferentially digested over the first starting memory, the second starting memory is stored. Based on this, the final STEP of the continuous notice can be executed to end the continuous effect state, and the continuous notice can be executed without giving the player a sense of incongruity.

  That is, when the game control device 30 determines that the start memory is stored in the second start memory means (game control device 30) by the start memory determination means (game control device 30), Execution mode changing means for changing the execution mode is provided. Changing this execution mode means, for example, increasing or decreasing the number of continuous performances, that is, extending or shortening the continuous performance state. It is possible to play an entertaining game without making it happen.

  From the above, when the continuous production control means (game control device 30) is executing the continuous production state based on the start memory stored in the first prize storage means (game control device 30), the second The start memory determining means (game control apparatus 30) for determining whether or not the start memory is stored in the winning memory means (game control device 30), and the start memory determining means stores the start memory in the second winning memory means. If it is determined that the execution state is changed, the execution mode changing means (game control device 30) for changing the execution mode of the continuous performance state being executed is provided.

  The priority execution control means (game control device 30) is controlled by the start memory determination means even when the continuous performance state by the first execution control means (game control device 30) is executed by the continuous performance control means. When it is determined that the start memory is stored in the second start memory means, the execution control of the variable display game by the second execution control means (game control device 30) is interrupted and executed in the continuous effect state, and the execution mode change means Is that the execution mode of the continuous effect state is changed based on the fact that the execution control of the variable display game by the second execution control means is interrupted by the priority execution control means (game control device 30). It becomes.

  The execution mode changing means increases the number of executions of the variable display game in the continuous effect state based on the fact that the execution control of the variable display game by the second execution control means is interrupted by the priority execution control means. It will be like that.

  Then, returning to FIG. 14, in the determination of whether or not the value of the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S96), if the value of the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S96; Yes). Then, the process of setting the continuous notice end flag (step S97) is performed, the process of clearing the continuous notice flag (step S98) is performed, and the continuous notice control process is ended. In other words, in this case, the final STEP is the continuous advance notice performed in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory currently being processed. On the other hand, if it is determined whether or not the value of the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S96), if the value of the continuous notice number counter is not “0” (step S96; No), the continuous notice control process is performed. finish. That is, in this case, the continuous advance notice performed in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory currently being processed is not the final STEP, but the continuous advance notice is continued also in the special figure change display game based on the start memory to be digested next. Executed.

  Next, returning to FIG. 13, the game control device 30 performs a big hit flag setting process (step S83). In the big hit flag setting process (step S83), a big hit flag is set when the big hit determination random number value stored in the start memory currently being processed matches the hit value. The hit value is set to a predetermined number of first determination values in the normal probability state, and is set to a second determination value different from the first determination value and the first determination value in the high probability state. And after performing this jackpot flag setting process (step S83), a special figure stop symbol setting process (step S84) is performed.

  Next, the game control device 30 performs a variation pattern setting process (step S85) to determine a variation pattern (setting of variation time based on determination of the latter half variation pattern and the first half variation pattern). After that, the process of storing the change start information (step S86) is performed, and the special figure routine process is terminated. In the process of storing the change start information (step S86), the special figure process number is changed to 1, and the special figure change start process 2 is selected in the next special figure game branch process (shown in FIG. 12). It becomes like this.

  FIG. 16 shows an example of determining the variation pattern. In determining the fluctuation pattern, first, the game result (big hit or miss) of the special figure fluctuation display game, the probability state (normal probability state or probability change state) of the special figure fluctuation display game as the current game state, and the current game state Based on the operation state (normal operation state or specific game state) of the normal variation winning device 7 as, the production state (normal state or continuous notice state) as the current game state, the starting memory number, etc. The latter half of the variation patterns in the game is determined. Then, the first half variation pattern is determined based on the determined second half variation pattern.

  Here, the first half variation pattern means a variation display mode until the reach state is reached, and the second half variation pattern means a variation display mode after the reach state is reached. This reach state (reach) has a variable display device whose display state can be changed, and the variable display device derives and displays a plurality of display results at different times, and the plurality of display results are determined in advance. In the gaming machine in which the gaming state becomes a gaming state advantageous to the player (special gaming state) in the case where the special result mode is reached, a part of the plurality of display results has not been derived and displayed yet. A display state in which the display result that is derived and displayed satisfies the condition for the special result mode. In other words, the reach state is deviated from the display condition that is the special result mode even when the display of the display result is derived and displayed after the display control of the display device is changed. A display mode that is not. For example, a state where so-called full-rotation reach is performed in a variable display region while maintaining a state in which special result modes are aligned (so-called full rotation reach) is also included in the reach state. The reach state is a display state at the time when the display control of the variable display device progresses and reaches the stage before the display result is derived and displayed, and is determined before the display result is derived and displayed. The display state in the case where at least a part of the display results of the plurality of variable display areas that have been performed satisfies the conditions for the special result mode.

  Thus, for example, a decoration variation display game displayed on the display device 43 corresponding to the special figure variation display game varies a plurality of identification information for a predetermined time in each of the left, middle, and right variation display areas on the display device 43. After displaying, when the display of the result mode is stopped in the order of left, right, and middle, the condition that becomes the special result mode is satisfied in the left and right variable display areas (for example, The fluctuation display mode until the so-called reach state in which the fluctuation display is stopped with the same identification information) becomes the first half fluctuation pattern. In the first half variation pattern, a plurality of patterns (first half variation pattern 1, first half variation pattern 2...) Having different production contents are set.

  Then, the fluctuation display mode after the occurrence of the reach state becomes the latter half fluctuation pattern. This second half variation pattern includes a plurality of reach productions, and the possibility that a special result form is derived (different reliability) includes normal reach, normal long reach (N long reach operation), special reach ( SP reach A operation) is set. However, when the reach state does not occur, the variation display mode of the special figure variation display game is configured such that the latter-half variation pattern has no variation (no latter-half variation), and only the first-half variation pattern.

  The variation display mode of the first-half variation pattern and the second-half variation pattern is not limited to the above. For example, the first-half variation until the reach state occurs and the middle-variable display area that is varying temporarily stops or the low-speed variation starts. A design that can be changed as appropriate, such as a pattern, and a subsequent variation display as a second-half variation pattern, may be used. In addition to this, when the variable display of all the variable display areas is temporarily stopped, the condition that the special result mode is satisfied in any two of the left, middle, and right variable display areas (for example, the same The state that has become the identification information (except for the special result mode) is the reach state, the change display mode so far is the first half change pattern, and the change display mode that displays the remaining one change display area from this reach state is changed. It is good also as a latter half fluctuation pattern.

  For example, in the pattern P1 of FIG. 16, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “out of” and the effect state as the game state is “normal state (non-continuous notice state)”, the second half The case where the fluctuation pattern is determined as “second half fluctuation pattern 1 (no second half fluctuation)” is shown. In this case, the continuous notice flag, the continuous notice final flag, and the big hit flag are not set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined to be the “first half variation pattern 1” if the total number of starting memories at that time is “1 to 2”. As a result, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 12,000 ms, the first half fluctuation is normally stopped, and the second half fluctuation is none (no reach). Also, if the total number of starting memories is “3-4”, the first half variation pattern is determined as “first half variation pattern 2”. As a result, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first-half fluctuation time of 7,000 ms, the first-half fluctuation is stopped by reducing the fluctuation time, and the second-half fluctuation is absent (no reach).

  Further, in the pattern P2 of FIG. 16, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “big hit” and the effect state as the game state is “normal state (state not continuous notice)”, the second half The case where the fluctuation pattern is determined as “second half fluctuation pattern 22 (normal long reach)” is shown. In this case, the continuous notice flag and the continuous notice final flag are not set, and the jackpot flag is set. In this case, the first-half variation pattern is determined to be one first-half variation pattern selected from a plurality of first-half variation patterns associated with the “second-half variation pattern 22”, regardless of the total number of starting memories at that time. When “first half fluctuation pattern 3” is selected from the plurality of first half fluctuation patterns, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 10,000 ms, the first half fluctuation is normally stopped, and the second half fluctuation is a normal long reach operation. Become.

  Also, in the pattern P3 of FIG. 16, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “big hit” and the effect state as the game state is “normal state (state where there is no continuous notice)”, the latter half The case where the fluctuation pattern is determined as “second half fluctuation pattern 31 (special reach A)” is shown. In this case, the continuous notice flag and the continuous notice final flag are not set, and the jackpot flag is set. In this case, the first-half variation pattern is determined to be one first-half variation pattern selected from a plurality of first-half variation patterns associated with the “second-half variation pattern 31” regardless of the total number of starting memories at that time. When “first half fluctuation pattern 3” is selected from the plurality of first half fluctuation patterns, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 10,000 ms, the first half fluctuation is normally stopped, and the second half fluctuation is a special reach A operation. Become.

  Further, in the pattern P4 of FIG. 16, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “out of” and when the effect state as the game state is “continuous notice state”, the latter half variation pattern is “second half”. The case where it was determined as “variation pattern 1 (no second half variation)” is shown. In this case, the big hit flag is not set and the continuous notice flag is set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined as “first half variation pattern 11”. As a result, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 7,200 ms, the first half fluctuation is continuous notice (other than the final STEP), and the second half fluctuation is none (no reach).

  Further, in the pattern P5 of FIG. 16, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “big hit” and the effect state as the game state is “continuous notice state”, the latter half variation pattern is “second half”. The case where the variation pattern 31 (special reach A) is determined is shown. In this case, the continuous notice end flag and the big hit flag are set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined as “first half variation pattern 12”. As a result, the variation pattern has a first-half variation time of 7,200 ms, the first-half variation is a continuous notice (final STEP), and the second-half variation is a special reach A operation.

  In addition, in the pattern P6 of FIG. 16, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “out of” and the effect state as the game state is “continuous notice state”, the latter half variation pattern is “second half”. The case where it was determined as “variation pattern 1 (no second half variation)” is shown. In this case, the continuous notice change flag is set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined as “first half variation pattern 13”. As a result, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 7, 100 ms, the first half fluctuation is continuous notice (cut-in STEP), and the second half fluctuation is none (no reach).

  In FIG. 16, for the sake of explanation, some of the distribution patterns of the first half variation pattern are described. However, in actuality, the ROM 31b stores each second variation pattern, gaming state, and start memory. Each of the first half variation pattern tables corresponding to the total number is stored, and there are also distribution patterns other than those shown here. Furthermore, when the game result of the special figure fluctuation display game is “big hit”, the latter half fluctuation pattern is determined to be “second half fluctuation pattern 31”, but the game result of the special figure fluctuation display game is “ In the case of “out of”, a pattern in which the latter half fluctuation pattern is determined as “second half fluctuation pattern 31” is also stored, and the game result of the special figure fluctuation display game is “big hit” for other patterns as well. Each of the first half variation pattern tables corresponding to the total of the second half variation pattern, the gaming state, and the starting memory number is stored for each of the cases of “out of”.

  Then, based on the determined latter half fluctuation pattern and the first half fluctuation pattern, a fluctuation time command (continuous notice command, continuous notice change command, continuous notice end command, etc.) is determined. The game control device 30 is transmitted to the effect control device 40 at the start, and a change stop command is transmitted from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 when the special figure change display game is stopped.

[Continuous notice setting process]
Next, the continuous notice setting process by the production control device 40 will be described. As shown in FIG. 17, in this continuous notice setting process, the effect control device 40 first determines whether or not a storage prefetch command has been received from the game control device 30 (step S <b> 111). This memory prefetch command is a command that is output from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 before the start of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory (first start memory, second start memory). In the determination of whether or not the storage prefetch command has been received (step S111), when the storage prefetch command is received (step S111; Yes), the effect control device 40 performs the storage prefetch processing (step S112). On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the storage prefetch command has been received (step S111), if the storage prefetch command has not been received (step S111; No), the effect control device 40 proceeds to step S113. The details of the storage prefetch process (step S112) will be described later.

  Next, the effect control device 40 determines whether or not a continuous notice command has been received from the game control device 30 (step S113). In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice command has been received (step S113), if the continuous notice command has been received (step S113; Yes), a process of incrementing the value of the continuous notice number monitoring counter by 1 (step S114) is performed. Then, based on the value of the continuous notice number monitoring counter, a selection process (step S115) of which STEP (stage) among the continuous notices to perform the continuous notice effect is performed.

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice command has been received (step S113), when the continuous notice command has not been received (step S113; No), the effect control device 40 proceeds to step S116.

  Next, the effect control device 40 determines whether or not a continuous notice change command has been received (step S116). The continuous notice change command is a command output from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 at the start of the special figure variation display game based on the second start memory newly stored during execution of the continuous notice.

  In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice change command has been received (step S116), when the continuous notice change command is received (step S116; Yes), the effect control device 40 selects the process of selecting the continuous notice change effect (step S116). Step S117) is performed. Through these processes, the stage for change (STEP) for change is selected as the stage of production. Note that the changing stage selected here is a blocking stage (cut-in display) that inhibits a specific stage having a series (for example, interrupts a story). Note that the changing stage is not limited to such a blocking stage, but may be a second specific stage different from the specific stage having a series. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice change command has been received (step S116), when the continuous notice change command has not been received (step S116; No), the process proceeds to step S118.

  Next, the effect control device 40 determines whether or not a continuous notice end command has been received (step S118). Further, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice end command has been received (step S118), the effect control is performed from the game control device 30 at the start of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory determined to end the continuous notice. It is determined whether a continuous notice end command output to the device 40 has been received. In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice end command has been received (step S118), if the continuous notice end command has not been received (step S118; No), the effect control device 40 ends the continuous notice setting process. .

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice end command has been received (step S118), when the continuous notice end command is received (step S118; Yes), the effect control device 40 selects the continuous notice final effect. (Step S119) is performed, a process for setting the value of the continuous notice count monitoring counter to “0” (Step S120) is performed, and the continuous notice setting process is terminated. By this process, the last stage of production (STEP) of the continuous notice is selected as the production mode. If another production mode is selected before this process, the final production stage (STEP) of the continuous notice is selected instead of the selected production mode.

[Memory prefetch processing]
The memory prefetching process is to determine information included in the memory prefetching command received from the game control device 30, and to determine a variation pattern (corresponding information when information related to continuous notice is included) based on the information. . As shown in FIG. 18, in the storage prefetching process, first, the effect control device 40 determines whether or not continuous notice information has been received from the game control device 30 (step S <b> 121).

  In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice information has been received (step S121), when the continuous notice information is received (step S121; Yes), the effect control device 40 has a continuous notice number monitoring counter of “0”. Is determined (step S122). On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice information has been received (step S121), if the continuous notice information has not been received (step S121; No), the process proceeds to step S126.

  Next, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice number monitoring counter is “0” (step S122), if the continuous notice number monitoring counter is “0” (step S122; Yes), the continuous notice effect random number is used. The extraction process (step S123) is performed. On the other hand, if it is determined whether or not the continuous notice count monitoring counter is “0” (step S122), if the continuous notice count monitoring counter is not “0” (step S122; No), the process proceeds to step S125.

  Next, the effect control device 40 performs a process of selecting the type of continuous notice to be executed (step S124) based on the continuous notice effect random number extracted in step S123, and determines a continuous notice effect (step S125). I do. Here, as the type of continuous notice, for example, in addition to the continuous notice by the lantern ghost as shown in FIG. 21, the continuous notice by the top lab (see FIG. 33 (5)) is provided, and one of these is selected. Is done.

  Next, the effect control device 40 determines whether or not continuous notice change information has been received from the game control device 30 (step S126). In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice change information has been received (step S126), if the continuous notice change information is received (step S126; Yes), the effect control device 40 determines the continuous notice change effect (step S126). Step S127) is performed. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice change information has been received (step S126), if the continuous notice change information has not been received (step S126; No), the process proceeds to step S128.

  Next, the effect control device 40 determines whether or not continuous notice end information has been received from the game control device 30 (step S128). In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice end information has been received (step S128), if the continuous notice end information is received (step S128; Yes), the effect control device 40 determines the continuous notice final effect (step S128). Step S129) is performed. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice end information has been received (step S128), if the continuous notice end information has not been received (step S128; No), the process proceeds to step S130.

  Next, the effect control device 40 determines whether or not variation pattern information has been received from the game control device 30 (step S130). In the determination of whether or not the variation pattern information has been received (step S130), when the variation pattern information is received (step S130; Yes), the effect control device 40 performs a process of determining the variation pattern (step S131). And the storage prefetch process is terminated. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not this variation pattern information has been received (step S130), if the variation pattern information has not been received (step S130; No), the storage prefetch process is terminated.

  Next, timing charts for processing by the game control device 30, processing by the effect control device 40, processing for transmitting a predetermined command from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40, and the like will be described. As shown in FIG. 19, in this example, the special figure variation display game A has already been executed, and the first start memory and the second start memory are zero. This is an example in which a game ball is won and a prefetch process of the next special figure variation display game is executed based on the newly stored first start memory.

  First, as described above, when a game ball wins the first start winning opening 13 during the execution of the special figure change display game A, the first start memory number is changed from “0” to “1”. Then, the game control device 30 extracts the big hit random number based on the first start memory (step S11) in the start port 1 monitoring process when the game ball has won the first start win port 13, and determines the big hit determination. At the same time (step S13), a variation pattern (variation time) determination process (step S21) is performed.

  And the game control apparatus 30 will transmit prefetch information to the production | presentation control apparatus 40 by command transmission process (step c) also in the special figure fluctuation display game A already performed. Specifically, as the memory pre-read command, the “big hit information”, “offset information”, “production symbol start” of the variable display game based on the newly stored first start memory set in the command setting process (step i21) A command based on “the number of memories”, “information on continuous notice (for example, continuous notice information)”, and the like is transmitted.

  Then, the effect control device 40 that has received the storage prefetch command including the continuous notice information extracts the continuous notice effect random number (step S123), and selects the type of effect of the continuous notice to be executed in advance (step S124).

  Thereafter, when a change stop command for the special figure change display game A is transmitted from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40, the special figure change display game A is ended. Then, the game control device 30 performs a variation pattern (variation time) setting process (step S85) in the special figure variation display game B based on the reserved first start memory, and sets variation start information (step S86).

  Then, the game control device 30 transmits the change command to the effect control device 40 based on the set change start information by the command transmission process (step c), and the effect control device 40 that has received the change command has already received the change command. The special figure fluctuation display game B is executed based on the selected effect pattern. At this time, the first start memory number is changed from “1” to “0”.

  Next, an example of continuous notice executed by the above processing will be described. As shown in FIG. 20, in this example, first, the first start memory is stored three (both are random numbers for jackpot determination = “out”) and the second start memory is zero. The figure variation display game is being executed. In addition, the effect state as the gaming state at this time is a normal state (a state that is not a continuous notice), and the fluctuation mode of the special figure variable display game is a normal fluctuation (a fluctuation mode that is not a continuous notice). Then, in the middle of the special figure fluctuation display game, there is a winning game ball (a big hit judgment random value = first judgment value (hit value)) at the first start winning opening 13, and then the special figure fluctuation display game is played. This is an example in which the continuous notice is started from the next special figure variation display game (from T0).

[Continuous notice STEP 1]
In T0 of FIG. 20, a process for executing the special figure variation display game is performed for the first start memory having the first digestion order. In this example, execution of continuous notice is determined in the processing here. In the process at this time, in the start port 1 monitoring process shown in FIG. 7, it is determined that there is a first special figure start winning (step i11), and a special figure hold information determination process (step i19) is performed. Then, in the special figure hold information determination process shown in FIG. 9, the big hit determination random number value of the first start memory whose digestion order is the fourth is a value that matches the win value (step S13; Yes). The variation pattern determination process (step S21) is performed. In the case of this example, it is determined that the continuous notice is executed in the variation pattern determination process (step S37; Yes), the continuous notice information is set, and the continuous notice flag is set. Also, since the start memory that triggered the continuous notice is based on the first start memory (step S40; Yes), the first special figure notice flag is also set.

  Next, the process proceeds to step i20, and a continuous notice count determination process is performed. In the continuous notice number determination process shown in FIG. 11, the continuous notice flag is set (step S51; Yes), the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S52; No), and the first special figure notice flag is set. Is set (step S53; Yes), and there is a start memory storing a big hit determination random number value that matches the hit value in the first start memory (step S56; Yes). The starting memory number up to the starting memory storing the value is set (step S57). At this time, since the big hit determination random number value in the first start memory having the fourth digestion order is a value that coincides with the win value, the value set in the continuous notice count counter is “4”.

  Next, returning to FIG. 5, since the second start memory is not acquired (step i3; No), the special figure game branching process (step i5) is performed, and the special figure ordinary process shown in FIG. 13 is performed. . In the special figure usual process shown in FIG. 13, it is determined that there is a start memory (step S81; Yes), and a continuous notice control process (step S82) is performed. In the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 14, since there is a continuous notice flag at this time (step S91; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter is decremented by 1 (step S92) and set in the continuous notice number counter. The value is “3”. Returning to FIG. 13, the processing from step S83 to step S86 is performed. At this time, determination of the variation pattern as shown in FIG. 16 (variation pattern command set) and continuous notice command set are performed and transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 6). In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, the first starting memory number is subtracted by 1 in the special figure fluctuation start process 2 (step S64) performed after the special figure usual process (step S62), and as shown in FIG. One start memory becomes three pieces.

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, processing relating to the decorative special figure change display game relating to the special figure change display game and processing relating to continuous notice in the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 17 are performed. In the process related to the decoration special figure fluctuation display game related to the special figure fluctuation display game, the content of the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is determined based on the received fluctuation pattern command.

  Here, in this example, as shown in FIG. 20, there is a game ball winning (a big hit determination random value = “out”) to the normal variation winning device 7 between T1 and T2, and the first start memory is 2 And the second start memory becomes one.

[Continuous notice cut-in STEP]
Next, at T2 in FIG. 20, since there is a second start memory that is preferentially digested over the first start memory, a process for executing the special figure variation display game is performed on the second start memory. In this process, it is determined to change the continuous notice. In the process at this time, in the start port 2 monitoring process shown in FIG. 8, it is determined that there is a second special figure start winning (step j11), and a special figure hold information determination process (step j19) is performed. Then, in the special figure hold information determination process shown in FIG. 9, since the random number for jackpot determination in the second start memory is a value that does not coincide with the winning value (step S13; No), the loss information is set and the fluctuation Pattern determination processing (step S21) is performed.

  Next, the process proceeds to step j20, and a continuous notice count determination process is performed.

A process of selecting a STEP to be displayed is performed by a process of selecting a notice change effect (step S117). Here, a second specific effect (continuous notice B) different from the specific effect having a series (continuous notice A) is selected as the stage for change, and the specific effect having a series is selected. An inhibition effect (cut-in display) that inhibits (for example, interrupts a story) is performed.

  Then, along with the execution of the special map variation display game (from T2 to T3 in FIG. 20), the decorative special map variation display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In the decorative special figure fluctuation display game, as shown in FIG. 21 (5), after the notice display 43a of “Lantern ghost” has been displayed as a continuous notice during the fluctuation display of the identification symbol, As shown in FIG. 21 (6), the fluctuation display is stopped and the result mode of the deviation is displayed.

[Continuous notice STEP 3]
Next, at T3 in FIG. 20, a process for executing the special figure variation display game is performed for the first start memory having the third digestion order. In this process, the continuation of the continuous notice is determined. Note that the processing here is the same as the above-described continuous notice STEP 2, and as a result, the value set in the continuous notice number counter is “1”, the continuous notice command is set, and the effect control is performed later. It is transmitted to the device 40 (step c in FIG. 6). Further, the first start memory number is decremented by 1, so that the first start memory becomes one as shown in FIG.

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, processing related to the decorative special map variation display game regarding the special map variation display game and processing related to continuous notification in the continuous notification setting process shown in FIG. In addition, since the result of the special figure variation display game is out of place, a process of selecting a result form of deviation as a result form is performed.

Processing for selecting a notice effect) is performed.

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure variation display game (T3 to T4 in FIG. 20), the decorative special figure variation display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decoration special figure fluctuation display game, as shown in FIG. 21 (7), after the notice display 43a of “Lantern ghost (chance!)” Is displayed for a predetermined time as a continuous notice during the fluctuation display of the identification symbol, As shown in 21 (8), the variation display is stopped and the result mode of the deviation is displayed.

[Continuous notice STEP 4]
Next, at T4 in FIG. 20, a process for executing the special figure variation display game is performed for the first start memory having the fourth digestion order. In this process, the end of the continuous notice is determined. In the process at this time, it is determined that there is a start-up memory in the special figure usual process shown in FIG. 13 (step S81; Yes), and the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 14 is performed. In the continuous notice control process, it is determined that there is a continuous notice flag (step S91; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter is decremented by 1 (step S92), and the value set in the continuous notice number counter is “0”. Become. And there exists a 1st special figure notice flag (step S93; Yes), and the new 2nd starting memory is not memorize | stored (step S94; No), but the value of a continuous notice number counter is "0" (step) S96; Yes), a continuous notice end flag is set (step S97) and the continuous notice flag is cleared (step S98).

  Returning to FIG. 13, the big hit flag setting process (step S83) is performed. Here, since the random number for jackpot determination in the first start-up memory is a hit value, a big hit flag is set, and then the processing from step S84 to step S86 is performed. At this time, a continuous notice end command is set and transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 6). Further, the first start memory number is decremented by 1 in the special figure variation start process 2 (step S14) shown in FIG. 12, and the first start memory becomes zero as shown in FIG.

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, processing relating to the decorative special figure change display game relating to the special figure change display game and processing relating to continuous notice in the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 17 are performed. In the process related to the decoration special figure fluctuation display game related to the special figure fluctuation display game, the content of the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is determined based on the received fluctuation pattern command. Here, since the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, a process of selecting a big hit result mode (special result mode) is performed as a result mode. In addition, since the reach has a variation pattern, the game is determined to be a decorative special figure variation display game to be reached. In the continuous notice setting process, there is no storage prefetch command (step S111; No), no continuous notice command (step S113; No), and no continuous notice change command (step S116; No). Is received (step S118; Yes). Therefore, the process of selecting the STEP to be displayed (here, selecting the continuous notice effect of STEP 4) is performed by the process of selecting the final notice of the continuous notice (step S119).

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure variation display game (T4 to T5 in FIG. 20), the decorative special figure variation display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decoration special figure fluctuation display game, as shown in FIG. 21 (9), after the notice display 43a of “Lantern ghost (super hot!)” Is displayed for a predetermined time as a continuous notice during the fluctuation display of the identification symbol. The reach state is displayed as shown in FIG. After that, the variable display is stopped, the special result mode is displayed, and it becomes a big hit and enters a special game state.

  From the above, a variation display device (display device 43) capable of executing a variation display game that variably displays a plurality of identification information, and a game control means (game control device) for controlling the variation display game performed in the variation display device 30), and the game control means is a start storage means capable of storing the number of winning game balls won in the start winning area (the first start winning opening 13, the normal variation winning apparatus 7) up to a predetermined number. (Game control device 30) and game execution control means (game control device 30) capable of executing a variable display game based on the start-up memory stored in the start-up storage means. To the first start storage means (game control device 30) capable of storing the number of winning game balls in the start winning area (first start winning opening 13) and the second start winning area (ordinary variable winning apparatus 7). The number of winning game balls Second start storage means (game control device 30) that can be memorized, and the game execution control means performs first execution control of the variable display game based on the start storage stored in the first start storage means. Execution control means (game control device 30) and second execution control means (game control device 30) for performing execution control of the variable display game based on the start memory stored in the second start storage means, In a gaming machine that generates a special gaming state capable of giving a predetermined game value to a player based on a result mode of a variable display game that is controlled by the first execution control means or the second execution control means, the game control means includes: In the case where the start memory is stored in the first start memory means and the second start memory means, the priority execution control means for executing the control by the second execution control means in preference to the control by the first execution control means. (Game control device 30) and a game corresponding to either the first execution control means or the second execution control means when a plurality of start memories are stored in either the first start storage means or the second start storage means Continuous effect execution control means (game control device 30) for executing a continuous effect state in which effects are continuously performed over a plurality of variable display games by the execution control means, and the continuous effect execution control means is a first start storage means. Starting memory determining means (game control device 30) for determining whether or not the starting memory is stored in the second starting storage means when the continuous production state is being executed based on the starting memory stored in Execution mode changing means (game control device 30) for changing the execution mode of the continuous effect state being executed when the start memory determination unit determines that the start memory is stored in the second start storage unit; It will have.

  Accordingly, when the start-up memory is stored in the first winning storage means and the second winning storage means, the priority execution control means causes the control of the second execution control means to be executed with priority over the control of the first execution control means. In this way, even when the start-up memory is generated in the second winning storage means when the continuous effect state is executed based on the starting storage stored in the first winning storage means, the execution mode changing means Since the execution mode of the continuous performance state being executed can be changed, it is possible to execute an entertaining game without causing a problem that the advance notice by the continuous performance does not hold.

  The priority execution control means (game control device 30) is controlled by the start memory determination means even when the continuous performance state by the first execution control means (game control device 30) is executed by the continuous performance control means. When it is determined that the start memory is stored in the second start memory means, the execution control of the variable display game by the second execution control means (game control device 30) is interrupted and executed in the continuous effect state, and the execution mode change means Is that the execution mode of the continuous effect state is changed based on the fact that the execution control of the variable display game by the second execution control means is interrupted by the priority execution control means (game control device 30). It becomes.

  Therefore, since the execution mode changing unit changes the execution mode of the continuous performance state based on the fact that the execution control of the variable display game by the second execution control unit is interrupted by the priority execution control unit in the continuous performance state, the advance notification by the continuous performance An entertaining game can be executed without causing the problem that no longer holds.

  The execution mode changing means increases the number of executions of the variable display game in the continuous effect state based on the fact that the execution control of the variable display game by the second execution control means is interrupted by the priority execution control means. It will be like that.

  Accordingly, since the execution control of the variable display game by the second execution control means is interrupted by the priority execution control means in the continuous performance state, the execution mode changing means increases the number of executions of the variable display game in the continuous performance state. An entertaining game can be executed without causing a problem that the notice due to the continuous production is no longer valid.

  Further, based on the effect control command (continuous notice change command) from the game control means (game control device 30), the effect control means (effect control device) for controlling the effect of the variable display game in the variable display device (display device 43). 40), and when the continuous effect state is executed by the continuous effect execution control means, the effect control means continuously provides a specific effect (continuous notice) having a series in the variable display device over a plurality of variable display games. There is a continuous effect display control means (effect control device 40) to be displayed, and the continuous effect display control means obstructs a specific effect having a series every time the execution mode of the continuous effect state is changed by the execution mode changing unit. The inhibition effect to be performed (cut-in STEP) is interrupted to the specific effect.

  Therefore, when a start memory is generated in the second prize storage means during the continuous effect state being executed based on the start memory stored in the first prize storage means, the execution mode changing means is executed by the continuous effect display control means. Each time the execution mode of the continuous effect state is changed, an inhibition effect that inhibits the specific effect having a series is interrupted in the specific effect, so that it can be used as an accent of the effect in the continuous effect state.

<Modification>
Next, a modified example of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. Basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to portions having the same configuration, and the description is omitted, and mainly different portions. explain.

  The gaming machine of the present modification example has a new second start memory during execution of a continuous notice based on the fact that there is a start memory storing a big hit determination random number value that matches the hit value in the first start memory In addition, the continuous notice is interrupted. Then, after the second special figure variation display game based on the second start memory is over, the continuous notice is resumed.

  FIG. 22 shows an example of determining the variation pattern in the gaming machine of this modification. In the gaming machine of this modification, in the second special figure fluctuation display game based on the new second start memory shown in the pattern P6 of FIG. 16, there is no fluctuation pattern for selecting the cut-in STEP as the continuous notice, instead the pattern P7 to P9 are set.

  In the pattern P7 of FIG. 22, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “out of” and the effect state as the game state is “continuous notice interruption state”, the latter half variation pattern is “second half variation”. The case where it was determined to be “pattern 1 (no second half fluctuation)” is shown. In this case, the continuous notice variation flag is set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined as “first half variation pattern 21”. As a result, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 10,000 ms, the first half fluctuation is normally stopped, and the second half fluctuation is none (no reach).

  Also, in the pattern P8 of FIG. 22, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “out of” and the effect state as the game state is “continuous notice interruption state”, the latter half variation pattern is “ The case where it was determined to be “the latter half fluctuation pattern 22 (normal long reach)” is shown. In this case, the continuous notice variation flag is set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined as “first half variation pattern 22”. As a result, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 10,000 ms, the first half fluctuation is normally stopped, and the second half fluctuation is a normal long reach operation.

  In addition, in the pattern P9 of FIG. 22, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “out of” and the effect state as the game state is “continuous notice interruption state”, the latter half variation pattern is “ The case where it was determined to be the latter-half fluctuation pattern 31 (special reach A) is shown. In this case, the continuous notice variation flag is set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined as “first half variation pattern 23”. As a result, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 10,000 ms, the first half fluctuation is normally stopped, and the second half fluctuation is a special reach A operation.

  23 and 24 show an example of the continuous notice executed by the gaming machine of this modification. This example is an example under the same conditions as the example of the continuous notice shown in FIG. 20, and basically the same processing is performed. Therefore, the processing from T2 to T3 in FIG. 23 mainly different from FIG. Will be described.

  The game control device 30 has a second start memory that is preferentially digested over the first start memory at T2 in FIG. 23, and therefore performs processing for executing the special figure variation display game on the second start memory. Then, a continuous notice change command is output to the production control device 40. In the effect control device 40, in the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 17, the process of selecting the continuous notice change effect (step S117) is performed based on the reception of the continuous notice change command (step S116; Yes). In the process of selecting the continuous notice change effect (step S117), as the change pattern, one of the change patterns in the continuous notice interruption state shown as an example in patterns P7 to P9 in FIG. 22 is selected and determined. Done.

  And the production | presentation control apparatus 40 displays a decoration special figure fluctuation display game on the display apparatus 43 with execution (T2 to T3 of FIG. 23) of a special figure fluctuation display game. 24 (5) and 24 (6) show an example in which the pattern P7 is selected as the variation pattern. In this decoration special figure fluctuation display game, as shown in FIG. 24 (5), for example, a new display window 43b is displayed on the display device 43, and the decoration special figure fluctuation display game (second display) is displayed in the display window 43b. Special figure variation display game) is performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 24 (6), the fluctuation display in the display window 43b is stopped and the result mode of the deviation is displayed. That is, the continuous notice effect is a state in which the continuous notice A of STEP 2 performed by receiving the continuous notice command from the game control device 30 at the timing of the time T1 is finished (FIG. 24 (4)) and is temporarily suspended. .

  Thereafter, at T3 in FIG. 23, since there is no second start memory, a process for executing the special figure variation display game is performed for the first start memory, and a continuous notice command is output to the effect control device 40. The In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, in the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 17, the process related to the continuous notice is performed, and STEP displayed from the continuous notice is selected. At this time, the STEP following the interrupted continuous notice is selected (here, the continuous notice effect of STEP 3 is selected). Thereby, as shown in FIG. 24 (7), the continuous notice is resumed.

  Through the processing as described above, the execution control of the second special figure variation display game based on the second start memory is interrupted by the continuous effect state of the first special figure fluctuation display game, so that When the continuous effect state is interrupted, and the continuous effect state of the first special figure variation display game is resumed after the interruption, the continuous effect state can be resumed from the point of interruption.

  That is, when the game control device 30 determines that the start memory is stored in the second start memory means (game control device 30) by the start memory determination means (game control device 30), the continuous effect state being executed is changed. Execution mode interruption means for causing the variable display game to be executed and controlled by the second execution control means (game control device 30) is provided. In addition, the game control device 30 serves as a continuous effect restarting unit that restarts the continuous effect state interrupted by the execution mode interrupting unit.

  Further, as described above, during the execution of the continuous notice, when the big hit determination random number value that matches the winning value is stored in the new second starting memory and becomes a big hit, the second starting memory is based on the second starting memory. The final STEP of the continuous notice is executed and the continuous effect state can be ended. That is, the execution mode interruption means (game control device 30) ends the continuous performance state when the special game state is generated based on the result mode of the variable display game by the second execution control means (game control device 30). I try to let them.

  In the above-described continuous notice effect, the appearance of the effect symbol may be related. Specifically, for example, as shown in (2), (4), (6), (8), and (10) of FIG. 24, the left symbol in each STEP of continuous notice is counted down by one (“7”). → “6” → “5” → “4” → “3”). Thereby, it can alert | report suitably that it is in a continuous notice state with respect to a player.

  Also, when resuming the continuous notice, the continuous production state is not resumed from the place where it was interrupted (stage), but is resumed from the stage where the continuous production progressed more than the place where it was interrupted (previous STEP) It is also good. In this way, it is possible to skip and execute the production STEP, and to allow the player to recognize that the law of the continuous production state has collapsed, so that the player has a sense of expectation for the big hit. You can make it.

  Next, the game control device 30 performs a process of acquiring the variation pattern determination random number determination table A (step S207). The variation pattern determination random number determination table A can determine the first half variation pattern among the variation patterns.

  Then, the game control apparatus 30 determines the first half variation pattern by comparing the variation pattern determination random number acquired in step S202 with the variation pattern determination random number determination table A acquired in step S207 (step S208). )I do.

  Next, the game control device 30 determines whether or not to execute the continuous notice by confirming whether or not the change pattern constituted by the determined second half change pattern and the first half change pattern is a change pattern by the continuous notice. Determination (step S209) is performed. In the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous notice (step S209), when the continuous notice is executed (step S209; Yes), a process of setting continuous notice information to be transmitted to the effect control device 40 (step S210). ) And a process of setting a continuous notice flag (step S211). On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous notice (step S209), when the continuous notice is not executed (step S209; No), the variation pattern information corresponding to the determined second half variation pattern and the first half variation pattern is set. Is performed (step S218), and the variation pattern determination process is terminated.

  Next, the game control device 30 determines whether or not the start memory that triggered the execution of the continuous notice is based on the first start memory (step S212). In the determination of whether or not the starting memory is based on the first starting memory (step S212), if the starting memory is based on the first starting memory (step S212; Yes), the first special figure notice Processing for setting a flag (step S213) is performed, and the variation pattern determination processing is terminated. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the start memory is based on the first start memory (step S212), if the start memory is not based on the first start memory (step S212; No), the variation pattern determination process Exit.

  Further, in the determination of whether or not the newly stored start memory is based on the second start memory (step S204), if the newly stored start memory is not based on the second start memory (step S204; No) ) Performs the process of acquiring the reach determination random number determination table B (step S214). The reach determination random number determination table B can determine the latter half of the variation patterns. That is, by determining the latter half fluctuation pattern, it is determined whether or not a reach state occurs. Further, unlike the reach determination random number determination table A, the reach determination random number determination table B does not include a determination value corresponding to a variation pattern used when performing continuous notice.

  Next, the game control device 30 performs a process (step S215) of determining the latter half variation pattern by comparing the reach determination random number acquired in step S201 with the reach determination random number determination table B acquired in step S214. Do.

  Next, the game control device 30 performs a process of acquiring the variation pattern determination random number determination table B (step S216). The first half variation pattern of the variation patterns can be determined by the variation pattern determination random number determination table B.

  Then, the game control apparatus 30 determines the first half variation pattern by comparing the variation pattern determination random number acquired in step S202 with the variation pattern determination random number determination table B acquired in step S216 (step S217). ) And the process proceeds to step S218.

  From the above, the game control means (game control device 30) is the first execution control means (game control device 30) or the second execution control according to the game state executed in the gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine 100).

As shown in FIG. 26, in the continuous notice change control process in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the game control device 30 first determines whether the second start memory is a win value, that is, the second start memory is a hit value. It is determined whether or not a jackpot determination random number value that matches is stored (step S221).

  In the determination of whether or not the big hit determination random number value that matches the hit value is stored in the second start memory (step S221), the second start that is currently being stored newly after the continuous notice flag is set. It is determined whether or not the jackpot determination random number value that matches the winning value is stored in memory, that is, whether or not it is a big hit in the variable display game based on the starting memory. In the determination of whether or not the jackpot determination random number value that matches the hit value is stored in the second start memory (step S221), the jackpot determination random number value that matches the hit value is not stored in the second start memory. In the case (step S221; No), the processing for acquiring the jackpot determination random value stored in the first start memory is performed (step S222), and the jackpot determination random value stored in the second start memory is acquired. Processing (step S223) is performed, and continuous notice resetting processing (step S224) is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 27, in the continuous notice resetting process, first, whether or not there is a winning value in the first start memory, that is, whether or not a big hit determination random number value that matches the winning value is stored in the first start memory. Is determined (step S231). In the determination of whether or not there is a winning value in the first start memory (step S231), if there is a winning value in the first start memory (step S231; Yes), the second notice at this time is displayed in the continuous notice count counter. A process of setting an addition value (step S232) to the first start memory number up to the first start memory in which the big hit determination random number value that matches the start memory number and the hit value is stored, returns to FIG. A process of setting a continuous notice change flag (step S225) is performed, and the continuous notice change control process is terminated.

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not there is a winning value in the first start memory (step S231), if there is no winning value in the first start memory (step S231; No), the continuous notice counter is displayed at this time. A process of setting the added value of the second start memory number and the first start memory number (step S232) is performed, and the process returns to FIG. 25, and a process of setting the continuous notice change flag (step S225) is performed, and the continuous notice change control is performed. The process ends.

  Further, in the determination of whether or not the big hit determination random number value that matches the hit value is stored in the second start memory (step S221), the big hit determination random number value that matches the hit value is stored in the second start memory. If yes (step S221; Yes), a process of obtaining the value of the continuous notice number counter (step S226) is performed, and a process of selecting the pseudo continuous notice flag based on the remaining value of the continuous notice number counter (step S227). Do. Thereafter, a process for clearing the first special figure notice flag (step S228) is performed, a process for setting the value of the continuous notice number counter to “0” (step S65) is performed, and the continuous notice change control process is terminated. Based on the pseudo continuous notice flag set here, the pseudo continuous effect is executed as will be described later.

  From the above, the game control means (game control apparatus 30) is one start stored and held in either the first prize storage means (game control apparatus 30) or the second prize storage means (game control apparatus 30). Pseudo-continuous effect execution control means (game control device 30) that executes a pseudo-continuous effect state that performs unit-variable display that is stopped once after a plurality of identification information is variably displayed for a predetermined time in a single variable-display game based on memory When the continuous effect state is executed, the continuous effect control means (game control device 30) determines the number of variable display games for executing the continuous effect state (game control device 30). The pseudo-continuous effect control means has the first execution control of the variable display game by the second execution control means (game control apparatus 30) by the first execution control means (game control apparatus 30). When the result mode of the variable display game by the second execution control means is a mode capable of generating the special game state when interrupted to the continuous performance state executed in the variable display game by the control means (game control device 30) In addition, the specific effect in the pseudo continuous effect state is executed as many times as the number of variable display games executed in the continuous effect state is subtracted from the number of variable display games determined by the continuous effect game number determining means.

  Further, the continuous performance control means is configured such that when the execution control of the variable display game by the second execution control means is interrupted by the priority execution control means in the continuous performance state executed in the variable display game by the first execution control means, 2 When the result mode of the variable display game by the execution control unit is a mode in which the special game state does not occur, the continuous effect state is restarted based on the start memory stored in the second prize storage unit and the first prize storage unit. This means that re-continuous effect control means (game control device 30) is provided.

  FIG. 28 shows an example of determining the variation pattern in the gaming machine of this embodiment. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, in the second special figure variation display game based on the new second start memory shown in the pattern P6 of FIG. 16, there is no variation pattern for selecting cut-in STEP as the continuous announcement, and the continuous announcement is in progress. A pattern P10 is set as a variation pattern of the second special figure variation display game based on the new second start memory generated in the above.

  In the pattern P10 of FIG. 28, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “big hit” and the effect state as the gaming state is “continuous notice state”, the latter half variation pattern is “second half variation pattern”. 31 (special reach A) ”is shown. In this case, the pseudo continuous notice fluctuation flag is set. In this case, the first half variation pattern performs a “first half variation pattern 31” that performs a pseudo-continuation from STEP 2 to STEP 4, a “first half variation pattern 32” that performs a pseudo-continuation from STEPs 3 to 4, and a pseudo-continuation of STEP 4 (final STEP). One of the “first half variation pattern 33” is selected. Note that the “first half variation pattern 33” performs only the effect of STEP 4 (final STEP), but performs the same effect (display, audio, etc.) as the other pseudo-continuous effects, and is therefore one of the pseudo-reams. .

  Each of the first half variation patterns is selected based on the remaining value of the continuous notice number counter when the new second start memory becomes a big hit. Specifically, when the remaining value is “2”, the “first half variation pattern 31”, when the remaining value is “1”, the “first half variation pattern 32”, and when the remaining value is “0”, the “first half variation pattern 31”. The variation pattern 33 ”is selected.

[Continuous notice setting process]
Next, processing performed by the production control device 40 in the gaming machine of this embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 29, in the continuous notice setting process in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a process of selecting a continuous notice change effect in the continuous notice setting process in the gaming machine of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 17 (step S117). ) Is performed instead of the effect resetting process (step S241). Details of the effect resetting process (step S241) will be described later.

Further, it is determined whether or not a continuous notice change command has been received (step S116).
When the continuous notice change command is not received (step S116; No), it is determined whether or not the continuous notice change command is received (step S242). In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice switching command has been received (step S242), when the continuous notice switching command is received (step S242; Yes), the process of selecting the pseudo continuous notice change effect (step S243). Then, the process proceeds to step S120. On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not the continuous notice switching command is received (step S242), if the continuous notice switching command is not received (step S242; No), the process proceeds to step S118.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 30, in the storage prefetching process, after performing the process of determining the continuous notice change effect (step S127), it is determined whether or not the continuous notice switching information is received from the game control device 30 (step S127). S251) is performed. In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice switching information has been received (step S251), when the continuous notice switching information is received (step S251; Yes), the effect control device 40 determines the pseudo continuous notice effect (step S251). Step S252) is performed. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice switching information has been received (step S251), when the continuous notice switching information has not been received (step S251; No), the process proceeds to step S128.

[Direction resetting process]
As shown in FIG. 31, in the effect resetting process, first, the effect control device 40 performs a process of extracting continuous notice effect random numbers (step S <b> 261), and resets based on the extracted continuous notice effect random numbers. A process of selecting the type of continuous notice (step S262) is performed.

  Next, the effect control device 40 performs a process of incrementing the value of the continuous notice count monitoring counter by 1 (step S263), performs a process of selecting a continuous notice effect (step S264), and ends the effect resetting process.

  32 and 33 show an example of a continuous notice executed by the gaming machine of this embodiment. Note that this example is an example under the same conditions as the example of the continuous notice shown in FIG. 20, and basically the same processing is performed. Therefore, mainly the processing from T2 in FIG. 32 that is different from FIG. explain.

  Since the game control device 30 has the second start memory that is preferentially digested over the first start memory in T2 of FIG. 32 (step S94), the continuous notice change control process (step S95) is performed. And since the random number for jackpot determination in the second start memory is not a win value (step S221; No), the first start memory (the first start memory number “2” at this time) is acquired and the second The start memory (second start memory number “1” at this time) is acquired, and the continuous notice resetting process (step S224) is performed.

  In this continuous notice resetting process, since there is a winning value for the random number for jackpot determination in the first starting memory (step S231; Yes), the second starting memory number “1” and the winning value of the first starting memory are reached. The addition value “3” with the starting memory number “2” is set in the continuous notice number counter (step S232).

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, processing related to the decorative special map variation display game regarding the special map variation display game, and processing related to continuous notification in the continuous notification setting process shown in FIG. In addition, since the result of the special figure variation display game is out of place, a process of selecting a result form of deviation as a result form is performed. In the continuous notice setting process, there is no storage prefetch command (step S111; No), and there is no continuous notice command (step S113; No), but there is a continuous notice change command (step S116; Yes). A process of resetting the type of continuous notice to be displayed by the resetting process (step S241) is performed. Here, as the effect for change, a second specific effect (continuous notice B (effect produced by Toppe Lab)) different from the specific effect having a series (continuous notice A) is selected.

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure variation display game (from T2 to T3 in FIG. 32), the decorative special figure variation display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decoration special figure fluctuation display game, as shown in FIG. 33 (5), after a notice display 43a of “Nope Rabo (??)” is displayed for a predetermined time as a continuous notice during the fluctuation display of the identification symbol, As shown in (6), the variation display is stopped and the result mode of the deviation is displayed.

  Next, at T3 in FIG. 32, a process for executing the special figure variation display game is performed for the first start memory having the third digestion order. In this process, the continuation of the continuous notice is determined. In this process, the value set in the continuous notice counter is “1”, and the continuous notice command is set and transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 6). Further, the first start memory number is decremented by 1, so that the first start memory becomes one as shown in FIG.

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, processing related to the decorative special map variation display game regarding the special map variation display game, and processing related to continuous notification in the continuous notification setting process shown in FIG. In addition, since the result of the special figure variation display game is out of place, a process of selecting a result form of deviation as a result form is performed. In the continuous notice setting process, there is no storage prefetch command (step S111; No), and since the continuous notice command is received (step S113; Yes), STEP to be displayed from the continuous notice is selected (here, STEP3 is continuous). Processing for selecting a notice effect) is performed. At this time, since the type of continuous production is reset from continuous notice A to continuous notice B in the previous stage, the display based on continuous notice B is made.

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure variation display game (from T3 to T4 in FIG. 32), the decorative special figure variation display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decoration special figure fluctuation display game, as shown in FIG. 33 (7), after the notice display 43a of “No. As shown in 33 (8), the variation display is stopped and the result mode of the deviation is displayed.

  Next, at T4 in FIG. 32, a process for executing the special figure variation display game is performed for the first start memory having the fourth digestion order. In this process, the end of the continuous notice is determined. In the process at this time, it is determined that there is a start-up memory in the special figure usual process shown in FIG. 13 (step S81; Yes), and the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 14 is performed. In the continuous notice control process, it is determined that there is a continuous notice flag (step S91; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter is decremented by 1 (step S92), and the value set in the continuous notice number counter is “0”. Become. And there exists a 1st special figure notice flag (step S93; Yes), and the new 2nd starting memory is not memorize | stored (step S94; No), but the value of a continuous notice number counter is "0" (step) S96; Yes), a continuous notice end flag is set (step S97) and the continuous notice flag is cleared (step S98).

  Returning to FIG. 13, the big hit flag setting process (step S83) is performed. Here, since the random number for jackpot determination in the first start-up memory is a hit value, a big hit flag is set, and then the processing from step S84 to step S86 is performed. At this time, a continuous notice end command is set and transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 6). Further, the first start memory number is decremented by 1 in the special figure variation start process 2 (step S14) shown in FIG. 12, and the first start memory becomes zero as shown in FIG.

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, processing relating to the decorative special figure change display game relating to the special figure change display game and processing relating to continuous notice in the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 29 are performed. In the process related to the decoration special figure fluctuation display game related to the special figure fluctuation display game, the content of the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is determined based on the received fluctuation pattern command. Here, since the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, a process of selecting a big hit result mode (special result mode) is performed as a result mode. In addition, since the reach has a variation pattern, the game is determined to be a decorative special figure variation display game to be reached. In the continuous notice setting process, there is no storage prefetch command (step S111; No), no continuous notice command (step S113; No), no continuous notice change command (step S116; No), and a continuous notice switching command. There is no (step S242; No), but the continuous notice end command is received (step S118; Yes). Therefore, the process of selecting the STEP to be displayed (here, selecting the continuous notice effect of STEP 4) is performed by the process of selecting the final notice of the continuous notice (step S119).

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure variation display game (T4 to T5 in FIG. 32), the special special figure variation display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decoration special figure fluctuation display game, as shown in FIG. 33 (9), after the notice symbol 43a is displayed as a continuous notice during the fluctuation display of the identification symbol, the notice display 43a is displayed for a predetermined time, and then FIG. The reach state is displayed as shown in (10). After that, the variable display is stopped, the special result mode is displayed, and it becomes a big hit and enters a special game state.

Next, FIGS. 34 and 35 show other examples of the continuous notice executed by the gaming machine of the present embodiment.
This example is an example under substantially the same conditions as the example of the continuous notice shown in FIG. 32, but the result of the second special figure variable display game based on the second start memory newly generated during the continuous notice is a big hit. It is supposed to be. Hereinafter, the same processing is omitted, and the processing from T2 to T3 in FIG. 34 which is different from FIG. 32 will be mainly described.

  Since the game control device 30 has the second start memory that is preferentially digested over the first start memory at T2 in FIG. 34, the continuous notice change control process (step S95) is performed. Since the random number for jackpot determination in the second start-up memory is a winning value (step S221; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter (here, 1) is acquired (step S226), and the continuous notice number counter A pseudo continuous notice flag is selected based on the remaining value (step S227). Here, since the value of the continuous notice count counter is “1”, “first half fluctuation pattern 32” associated with “second half fluctuation pattern 31” is selected, and the corresponding pseudo continuous notice flag is set. Thereafter, the first special figure notice flag is cleared, and the value of the continuous notice counter is set to 0 (step S228).

  Then, returning to the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 14, the value of the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S96; Yes), so the continuous notice end flag is set based on the pseudo continuous notice flag (step S97). At the same time, the continuous notice flag is cleared (step S98). Then, in the special figure normal processing (see FIG. 13), a big hit flag is set (step S83) and a continuous notice end command is set based on the continuous notice end flag, and these pieces of information are transmitted to the effect control device 40 later. (Step c in FIG. 6).

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, processing relating to the decorative special figure change display game relating to the special figure change display game and processing relating to continuous notice in the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 29 are performed. In the process related to the decoration special figure fluctuation display game related to the special figure fluctuation display game, the content of the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is determined based on the received fluctuation pattern command. Here, since the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, a process of selecting a big hit result mode (special result mode) is performed as a result mode. In the continuous notice setting process, there is no storage prefetch command (step S111; No), no continuous notice command (step S113; No), no continuous notice change command (step S116; No), and a continuous notice switching command. There is no (step S242; No), but the continuous notice end command is received (step S118; Yes). Therefore, the process of selecting the STEP to be displayed is performed by the process of selecting the continuous notice final effect (step S119). Here, in the game control device 30, the “first half variation pattern 32” associated with the “second half variation pattern 31” shown in the pattern P10 shown in FIG. 28 is selected as the variation pattern. An effect for executing pseudo-continuous STEPs 3 and 4, which is a continuous notice effect for pseudo-continuous use, is selected as the notice final effect.

  Then, with the execution of the special figure variation display game (from T2 to T3 in FIG. 34), the decorative special figure variation display game is displayed on the display device 43 and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decoration special figure variation display game, pseudo-continuation STEP3 and pseudo-continuation STEP4 are executed. That is, the display of (5) to (8) in FIG. 35 is executed in the special figure fluctuation display game based on one start memory, as if the special figure fluctuation display game is executed twice, and the continuous notice is executed twice. Fluctuation display as if it were performed is executed. After that, the variable display is stopped, the special result mode is displayed, and it becomes a big hit and enters a special game state.

From the above, the game control means (game control device 30) is the first execution control means (game control device 30) or the second execution control according to the game state executed in the gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine 100). In at least one of the variable display games executed by the means (game control device 30), the continuous effect prohibition control means (for prohibiting the generation of the continuous effect state executed by the continuous effect execution control means (game control device 30)) ( Game control device 30) will be provided.
Further, the continuous effect prohibition control means is the continuous effect execution control means in the variable display game executed by the first execution control means when the specific game state is generated by the specific game state generation means (game control device 30). The generation of the continuous performance state executed by is prohibited.

  Therefore, when the specific game state is generated by the specific game state generating means, the continuous effect prohibition control means is the continuous effect executed by the continuous effect execution control means in the variable display game executed by the first execution control means. Since the occurrence of the state is prohibited, in the specific game state where the variable display game is frequently executed by the second execution control means, a continuous effect state occurs in the variable display game executed by the first execution control means. When the continuous performance state is generated, a start memory is generated in the second prize storage means, and there is a problem that the continuous performance state in the variable display game executed by the first execution control means is not established. Can be easily prevented. Therefore, even if it is possible to execute a continuous effect in a variable display game with a plurality of identification information groups, the processing can be prevented from becoming complicated.

  The game control means (game control device 30) is based on one start-up memory stored and held in either the first prize storage means (game control apparatus 30) or the second prize storage means (game control apparatus 30). A pseudo-continuous effect execution control means (game control device 30) for executing a pseudo-continuous effect state in which a unit variable display that stops after a plurality of identification information is displayed in a variable manner for a predetermined time in a single variable display game is provided, The continuous effect control means (game control device 30) has continuous effect game number determination means (game control device 30) for determining the number of variable display games for executing the continuous effect state when executing the continuous effect state. The pseudo continuous effect control means is configured such that the execution control of the variable display game by the second execution control means (game control apparatus 30) is the first execution control means by the priority execution control means (game control apparatus 30). In a case where the result mode of the variable display game by the second execution control means is a mode in which a special game state can be generated in the case where the continuous performance state executed in the variable display game by the game control device 30) is interrupted, continuous The specific effect in the pseudo continuous effect state is executed as many times as the number of variable display games executed in the continuous effect state is subtracted from the number of variable display games determined by the effect game number determining means.

  Therefore, when the execution control of the variable display game by the second execution control means is interrupted by the pseudo continuous effect control means by the priority execution control means in the continuous effect state executed in the variable display game by the first execution control means, When the result mode of the variable display game by the second execution control unit is a mode in which the special game state can be generated, the variation executed in the continuous effect state from the variable display game number determined by the continuous effect game number determining unit Because it is possible to execute a specific effect in the pseudo-continuous effect state as many times as the number of displayed games is subtracted, there is a game of distrust that a malfunction or the like has occurred in the gaming machine due to the fact that the advance notice by the continuous effect is no longer valid Can be prevented from being held by a person, and by executing a specific effect in a pseudo-continuous effect state Te, it is possible to run a game rich in interest.

  Further, the continuous performance control means is configured such that when the execution control of the variable display game by the second execution control means is interrupted by the priority execution control means in the continuous performance state executed in the variable display game by the first execution control means, 2 When the result mode of the variable display game by the execution control unit is a mode in which the special game state does not occur, the continuous effect state is restarted based on the start memory stored in the second prize storage unit and the first prize storage unit. This means that re-continuous effect control means (game control device 30) is provided.

  Therefore, when the execution control of the variable display game by the second execution control means is interrupted by the priority execution control means in the continuous effect state executed in the variable display game by the first execution control means, the fluctuation by the second execution control means When the result mode of the display game is a mode in which the special game state does not occur, the re-continuous effect control unit restarts the continuous effect state based on the start memory stored in the second prize storage unit and the first prize storage unit. When the continuous effect state is executed in the variable display game executed by the first execution control means, a new continuous effect state is generated by utilizing the start memory stored in the second prize storage means Can be made. That is, it is possible to execute an entertaining game, and it is possible to prevent the processing from becoming complicated even if a continuous effect can be executed in a variable display game using a plurality of identification information groups.

In the variation pattern determination process of FIG. 25, when it is not during the specific gaming state (probability change or during short time) (step S203; No), the process may move to step S214. In other words, during the normal gaming state, it may be designed to prohibit both the continuous notice based on the first start memory and the continuous notice based on the second start memory.
Moreover, when it is in a specific gaming state (during probability change or time saving) (step S203; Yes), the process may be shifted to step S214. In other words, during the specific gaming state, the continuous notice based on the first start memory and the continuous notice based on the second start memory are both prohibited, and during the normal gaming state, the continuous notice and the second start memory based on the first start memory are prohibited. It is good also as a design which can carry out the continuous notice based on.

<Third Embodiment>
Next, a pachinko gaming machine 100 according to a third embodiment will be described. Basically, it has the same configuration as that of the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the second embodiment described above. Hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to portions having the same configuration, and description thereof is omitted. Different parts will be described.

[Variation pattern determination process]
Next, processing performed by the game control device 30 in the gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 36, in the variation pattern determination process in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, whether or not the probability change or time is short in the variation pattern determination process in the gaming machine of the second embodiment shown in FIG. In the determination (step S203), when it is not under certainty change or time saving (step S203; No), it is determined whether or not the newly stored start memory is the first start memory (step S301). ing. In the determination of whether or not the newly stored start memory is the first start memory (step S301), when the newly stored start memory is the first start memory (step S301; Yes). The process proceeds to step S205. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the newly stored start memory is the first start memory (step S301), when the newly stored start memory is not the first start memory (step S301; No), The process proceeds to step S214.

  From the above, the continuous performance prohibition control means (game control device 30) is provided with the second execution control means (game control device) when the specific game state is not generated by the specific game state generation means (game control device 30). In the variable display game executed by (30), the generation of the continuous effect state executed by the continuous effect execution control means (game control device 30) is prohibited.

  Therefore, when the specific game state is not generated by the specific game state generation means, the generation of the continuous effect state executed by the continuous effect execution control means is prohibited in the variable display game executed by the second execution control means. In the state where the variable display game is frequently executed by the first execution control means, the continuous effect state is generated in the variable display game executed by the first execution control means, and this continuous effect state is generated. A start memory is generated in the second winning memory means, and a continuous effect state occurs in the variable display game executed by the second execution control means based on the starting memory stored in the second winning memory means. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of an extremely complicated process. Therefore, even if it is possible to execute a continuous effect in a variable display game with a plurality of identification information groups, the processing can be prevented from becoming complicated.

In the variation pattern determination process of FIG. 36, when the game state is in a specific gaming state (probability change or short time) (step S203; Yes), the process may move to step S214. In other words, during the specific gaming state, it may be designed to prohibit both the continuous notice based on the first start memory and the continuous notice based on the second start memory.
Further, when it is not in the specific gaming state (during probability change or time saving) (step S203; No), the process may proceed to step S214. That is, it is good also as a design which prohibits both the continuous advance notice based on the 1st start memory, and the continuous advance notice based on the 2nd start memory during the normal gaming state.

<Fourth embodiment>
Next, a pachinko gaming machine 100 according to a fourth embodiment will be described. Basically, it has the same configuration as that of the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the first embodiment described above. Hereinafter, the same reference numerals will be given to portions having the same configuration, and the description thereof will be omitted. Different parts will be described.

[Special figure hold information judgment processing]
Next, processing performed by the game control device 30 in the gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 37, in the special figure hold information determination process in the gaming machine of this embodiment, in the special figure hold information determination process in the gaming machine of the first embodiment shown in FIG. Determines whether or not the probability change or the time is short (step S401), and in the determination whether or not the probability change or the time is short (step S401), if the probability change or time is not short (step S401) No) moves to step S11. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the probability change is in progress or the time is short (step S401), if the probability change is in progress or the time is short (step S401; Yes), the newly stored start memory is the second start memory. It is determined whether or not there is (step S402). In the determination of whether or not the newly stored start memory is the second start memory (step S402), when the newly stored start memory is the second start memory (step S402; Yes). The process proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the newly stored start memory is the second start memory (step S402), when the newly stored start memory is not the second start memory (step S402; No), This process ends.

  As a result, during the specific game state (during probability change or short time), the prefetching process by the first start memory is prohibited, while the prefetch process by the second start memory can be executed. Further, during the normal gaming state, both the pre-reading process by the first start memory and the pre-read process by the second start memory can be executed.

Note that, in the special figure hold information determination process of FIG. 37, this process may be terminated if it is not in the specific gaming state (probability change or time saving) (step S401; No). In other words, during the normal gaming state, it may be designed to prohibit both the continuous notice based on the first start memory and the continuous notice based on the second start memory.
Moreover, when it is in a specific gaming state (during probability change or time saving) (step S401; Yes), this process may be terminated. That is, during the specific gaming state, it may be designed to prohibit both the continuous notice based on the first start memory and the continuous notice based on the second start memory.

<Fifth Embodiment>

Different parts will be described.

[Special figure hold information judgment processing]
Next, processing performed by the game control device 30 in the gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 38, in the special figure hold information determination process in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the special figure hold information determination process in the gaming machine of the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the probability change is in progress or the time is short (step S401), and in the determination whether or not the probability change is in progress or the time is short (step S401), if the probability change is not in progress or the time is not short (step S401; No) ) Determines whether the newly stored start memory is the first start memory (step S501). Then, in the determination of whether or not the newly stored start memory is the first start memory (step S501), when the newly stored start memory is the first start memory (step S501; Yes) The process proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the newly stored start memory is the first start memory (step S501), if the newly stored start memory is not the first start memory (step S501; No), This process ends.

  As a result, during the specific game state (during probability change or short time), the prefetching process by the first start memory is prohibited, while the prefetch process by the second start memory can be executed. Further, during the normal gaming state, the prefetching process by the first start memory can be executed, while the prefetch process by the second start memory can be prohibited.

Note that, in the special figure hold information determination process of FIG. 38, this process may be terminated when it is in the specific gaming state (probability change or time short) (step S401; Yes). In other words, during the specific gaming state, it may be designed to prohibit both the continuous notice based on the first start memory and the continuous notice based on the second start memory.
