FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of a random number table from which various random numbers are acquired in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, where (a) is a jackpot random number table, (b) is a jackpot symbol random number table, and (c) is a reach random number table. (D) is a figure showing an example of a hit random number table, respectively.
In the present embodiment, a special symbol is configured by the jackpot random number acquired by the jackpot random number table shown in FIG. 6A and the jackpot symbol random number acquired by the jackpot symbol random number table shown in FIG. . A normal symbol is composed of normal symbol random numbers acquired by the hit random number table shown in FIG.

In the jackpot random number table shown in FIG. 6A, one random number value is acquired from 300 random numbers from “0” to “299”, for example, at the start opening prize.
In the case of the jackpot random number table shown in FIG. 6A, in the low-probability gaming state (normal gaming state), the jackpot ratio is set to 1/300, for example, and the jackpot random number value is “3”. It is determined.
On the other hand, in the high-probability gaming state, the jackpot ratio is set to 10/300, ten times that of the low-probability gaming state, and the acquired jackpot random number values are “3”, “7”, “37”, “67”, “ It is determined that the jackpot is at "97", "127", "157", "187", "217", "247".
Furthermore, in the jackpot random number table, a lottery lottery, which is a type of loss, is also performed. In the example shown in FIG. 6A, the ratio of the small hits is set to 3/300, and it is determined that the small hits are obtained when the acquired big hit random numbers are “150”, “200”, and “250”.

Next, in the jackpot symbol random number table shown in FIG. 6B, one random number value is acquired from 250 random numbers from “0” to “249”. And based on the acquired jackpot symbol random number, any one jackpot is determined from a plurality of types of jackpots.
In this embodiment, five jackpots are prepared as a plurality of types of jackpots: per length with normal time, short per hour with normal time, per length with high probability time, short per length with high probability, and short per hour without high probability. ing.

The long win with normal time is a long opening time of the big winning opening 16 at the time of the jackpot game, it can be expected to pay out a large number of balls, and after the jackpot game ends, the special symbol will change for a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) It is a jackpot that grants a short-term game for a period, and corresponds to the conventional “normal jackpot”.
The short win with a normal time is a period until the special symbol is changed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the big hit game ends, although the opening time of the big winning opening 16 at the time of the big hit game is short and the payout of the outgoing ball can not be expected. This is a jackpot that grants a short-time game, and corresponds to the conventional “sudden jackpot”.
The long win with high probability time is a jackpot that gives both a high probability game and a short time game after the jackpot game ends, as well as a long time to open the big prize opening 16 at the time of the jackpot game can be expected This corresponds to the conventional “probability jackpot”.
The short win with high probability short-time is a big hit that grants both high-probability games and short-time games after the jackpot game ends, although the opening time of the big prize opening 16 at the time of the jackpot game is short and the payout of the ball can not be expected. Is equivalent to
High probability short / short short hit is a big hit that grants a high probability game after the jackpot game ends, although the opening time of the big prize opening 16 at the time of the jackpot game is short and expectation of payout of the ball is not expected. Equivalent to.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment, some types of game balls are entered when a game ball enters the first start port 13 and when a game ball enters the electric Chu 14 that is the second start port. The jackpot is configured so that the selected ratio is different.
For example, the ratio of the per unit with the normal time and the short unit with the normal time is the same when the game ball is won at the first start port 13 and when it is won at the electric chew 14, The selected ratio is 35/250 both when the game ball wins the first start port 13 and when the game ball wins the electric Chu 14. Similarly, the ratio at which the short win with the normal time is selected is 15/250 both when the game ball wins the first start port 13 and when the game ball wins the electric chew 14.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), if the jackpot symbol random number acquired at the time of winning the first start opening or the electric chew is “0” to “34”, the normal per short length is selected. , “35” to “49”, the short hit with the normal time is selected.

On the other hand, the rate at which the per unit with high probability and the short unit with high probability is selected differs depending on whether the game ball has won the first start port 13 or the electric chew 14, for example, high probability The rate at which the winning length is selected is 25/250 when a game ball wins the first start port 13 and 175/250 when a game ball wins the electric chew 14.
In addition, the rate at which the short win with high probability is selected is 75/250 when a game ball wins the first start port 13 and 25/250 when a game ball wins the electric chew 14.
Further, the rate at which the high probability short / short short win is selected is 100/250 only when a game ball wins the first start port 13.
Specifically, if the jackpot symbol random number acquired when the game ball is won at the first start opening is “50” to “74”, the long chance with a high probability time is selected, and “75” to “149” If there is, a short hit with high probability is selected, and if it is “150” to “249”, a short hit without high probability is selected.
On the other hand, if the jackpot symbol random number acquired when the game ball is won by the electric chew is “50” to “224”, the long probability with a short time is selected, and if it is “225” to “249”. A short chance with a short time with high probability is selected.

Comparing the types of jackpots selected at the time of winning the first start opening and at the time of winning the electric chew, the ratio per long length with high probability is 25/250 when winning the first starting opening, At the time of winning a prize, the ratio per length with a high probability of shortening is 175/250, and at the time of winning an electric-chu prize, the ratio of selecting per length with a high probability of shortening is higher.
With this configuration, when shifting to a gaming state in which the winning rate of game balls to electric Chu is high, the probability of winning continuously per length with a high probability of shortening becomes high, so a lot of balls can be acquired. A game that can be expected and sharpened.
In addition, at the time of winning the first start opening, the ratio of high probability short / short short is 100/250, while at high power winning, the high probability short / short short hit is not selected. This is because the game ball wins the electric Chu mainly when the gaming state is advantageous when the player is in the short-time gaming state. In such a case, the short-time game ends and the game state is shifted to a disadvantageous game for the player. In other words, despite having won the jackpot, the gaming state with a short time shifts to a gaming state that is disadvantageous for the player, that is, a gaming state without a short time. For this reason, at the time of winning an electric chew, it is possible to prevent the player from shifting to a gaming state that is unfavorable to the player by not selecting short wins with high probability.

Further, in the reach random number table shown in FIG. 6C, one random number value is acquired from 250 random numbers from “0” to “249” at the time of starting winning, and the acquired reach random number value is “0”. ”To“ 21 ”, and reach is determined, and when the acquired reach random number value is“ 22 ”to“ 249 ”, it is determined that there is no reach.
Further, in the hit random number table for drawing the random numbers for the normal symbol shown in FIG. 6D, when the game ball passes through the gate, one random number value is selected from ten random numbers from “0” to “9”. To be acquired.
And in the low-probability gaming state in which both the short-time flag and the high-accuracy flag are OFF, or in the high-probability short-timeless gaming state in which the short-time flag is OFF and the high-accuracy flag is ON, only when the acquired winning random number is “7” Judgment is successful.
On the other hand, in the low probability short-time gaming state in which the short-time flag is ON and the high-accuracy flag is OFF, or in the high-probability short-time gaming state in which both the short-time flag and the high-accuracy flag are ON, the acquired hit random numbers are “0” to When it is “9”, it is determined to be hit.

In the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment configured as described above, in the normal gaming state, a game ball is launched aiming at the left side area of the game board 10. That is, the player performs so-called “left-handed”, in which the game ball is fired so that the first start port 13 arranged at the lower center of the game board 10 wins the game ball. Then, when the game ball wins the first starting port 13, a lottery such as a jackpot random number, a jackpot symbol random number, a reach random number, etc. is drawn upon the winning, and if it is determined that the winner is won, the first special symbol The special symbol of the display 21 is stopped at a specific hit symbol.
At this time, if the winning win is a long win, the player performs a right-handed game in which a game ball is launched aiming at the right side area of the game board 10 on which the big winning opening 16 of the big winning device is arranged. In this case, since most of the game balls launched to the right side area of the game board 10 win the big prize opening 16, the big hit game can be played in a shorter time than the case where the big prize opening 16 is arranged below the center of the game board 10. Can be digested.

  Furthermore, in the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment, when a short-time game is awarded as a bonus game after the jackpot game ends, the player aims at the right area of the game board 10 on which the electric chew 14 and the gate 15 are arranged. By playing a right-handed game in which a game ball is fired, a game state advantageous to the player can be obtained. That is, in the normal gaming state, for example, even if a game ball passes the gate 15, the probability of winning a normal symbol is low, and the opening time of the electric Chu 14 at the time of winning is extremely short, for example, about 0.1 seconds. In contrast to the configuration in which it is difficult for a game ball to win the electric chew 14, in the short-time gaming state, the probability of winning a normal symbol is high, and the opening time of the electric chew 14 at the time of winning is about 2.0 seconds, for example. Therefore, the game ball is easy to win in the electric chew 14. Therefore, in the short-time gaming state, the player can play a right-handed game, and the gaming state is advantageous to the player.

By the way, in the conventional pachinko gaming machine, there is a possibility that the game suffers a disadvantage if the player does not fire the game ball aiming at the right side area of the game board 10 when the player is in the right-handed game state. For example, the privilege cannot be enjoyed even though the game is in a short time gaming state that is advantageous to the player.
Therefore, in the present invention, when the player does not fire a game ball aiming at the right side area of the game board 10 when the player is in a game state in which the player should make a right-handed game, the player can appropriately use the effect button 104. It is characterized in that a game effect is performed such that a game ball is launched aiming at a different game area.

For example, if the player does not fire a game ball aiming at the right area of the game board 10 when the player is in a right-handed game state, the effect button 104 will respond even if the player operates the effect button 104. Or a game effect using the effect button 104 is not performed. By configuring in this way, it is possible to make the player aware that an appropriate game is not being performed.
At this time, it is also possible to display a warning message prompting the user to make a right turn on the image display 11.
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a warning message displayed on the image display in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment.
In the example shown in FIG. 7, when a player should play a right-handed game and the game ball is not fired while aiming at the right region of the game board 10 in the gaming state, the warning image 61 indicates “right. “Please aim” and an arrow image that prompts the user to make a right strike. If comprised in this way, it can be made to recognize more reliably that the player is not playing an appropriate game.
Note that a warning message such as “Aim at the right” may be output from the speaker 105 together with the display of the warning image 61 by the image display 11. In this case as well, the player can be made aware that an appropriate game is not being performed.

  Hereinafter, processing executed by the game control device to realize the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described. Note that the processing described below can be realized by the CPU 112 of the game control board 111 executing a program stored in the ROM 113.

In this case, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the first start port SW13a of the first start port 13 is on (S201), and if it is determined that the first start port SW13a is on, the first start port It is determined whether or not the number of holds U1 of the mouth SW 13a is less than “4” (S202).
If it is determined that the reserved number U1 is smaller than “4”, “1” is added to the reserved number U1 (S203). Thereafter, the jackpot random number for the special symbol, the jackpot symbol random number, the reach random number and the like are acquired and stored in the RAM 114 (S204). Next, in order to increase the holding number of the first special symbol holding lamp 24, a first holding number increase command is set (S205). If a negative result is obtained in step S202, that is, if it is determined that the hold number U1 is “4” which is the maximum holdable number, the process of steps S203 to S205 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S206.

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the second start port SW14a of the electric Chu 14 is on (S206). If it is determined that the second start port SW14a is on, the second start port SW14a is determined. It is determined whether or not the reserved number U2 is less than “4” (S207). If it is determined that the reserved number U2 is smaller than “4”, “1” is added to the reserved number U2 (S208). Thereafter, the jackpot random number for the special symbol, the jackpot symbol random number, the reach random number, and the like are acquired and stored in the RAM 114 (S209). Next, in order to increase the holding number of the second special symbol holding lamp 25, a second holding number increase command is set (S210), and the start port SW process is terminated.
If a negative result is obtained in step S207, that is, if it is determined that the hold number U2 is “4”, which is the maximum holdable number, the start port SW process is terminated.

[Gate SW processing]
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the gate SW process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the gate SW15a of the gate 15 is on (S221). If it is determined that the gate SW15a is on, whether or not the number of times the gate SW passes through the gate SW15a is less than “4”. Is discriminated (S222). If it is determined that the gate passing number G is less than “4”, “1” is added to the gate passing number G (S223), a random number for normal symbols is acquired and stored in the RAM 114 (S224), The gate SW process ends.
If it is determined in step S221 that the gate SW 15a is not on, or if a negative result is obtained in step S222, that is, if it is determined that the gate passing number G is “4”, which is the maximum holdable number, The gate SW process ends.

[Special symbol processing]
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of special symbol processing executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot game flag is ON, that is, whether or not the jackpot game is being played (S311). If it is determined that the jackpot game is not being played, the first special symbol indicator 21 or the second 2. It is determined whether or not the special symbol on the special symbol display 22 is changing (S312). If it is determined that the special symbol is not changing, it is determined whether or not the reserved number U2 of the second starting port SW14a to be preferentially digested is greater than “1” (S313). If it is determined that there are more than “1”, “1” is subtracted from the reserved number U2 (S314).
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S313 that the reserved number U2 is not ≧ 1, that is, if the reserved number U2 is “0”, then whether or not the reserved number U1 of the first start port SW13a is larger than “1”. Is determined (S315), and if it is determined that the reserved number U1 is greater than "1", the reserved number U1 is decremented by "1" (S316).

Next, the CPU 112 turns off if the customer waiting flag is ON (S317), and then executes a jackpot determination process described later (S318). After the big hit determination process is executed, a later-described variation pattern selection process is executed (S319). After execution of the variation pattern selection process, the variation of the corresponding first special symbol display 21 or second special symbol display 22 is started and a variation start command is set (S320, S321).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the variation time of the first or second special symbol has passed the predetermined variation time (S322). If it is determined that the predetermined variation time has elapsed, The fluctuation of the special symbol display 21 or the second special symbol display 22 is stopped and a predetermined special symbol is displayed (S323). Thereafter, a change stop command is set (S324), a stop process (S325) described later is executed, and the special symbol process is ended.
If it is determined in step S311 that the winning game flag is ON, or if it is determined in step S322 that the variation time of the special symbol has not reached the predetermined variation time, the special symbol processing is terminated.
If it is determined in step S312 that the special symbol is changing, the process proceeds to step S322, and it is determined whether or not the variation time of the special symbol has passed a predetermined variation time.
If it is determined in step S316 that the number of holdings U1 is not ≧ 1, that is, if it is determined that there is no holding of the holding numbers U1 and U2, it is executed in a customer waiting setting process described later (S326). The process ends.

[Big hit judgment processing]
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot determination process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines the jackpot random number stored in the RAM 114 (S331), and determines whether or not it is a jackpot in the subsequent step S332. Here, when it is determined that the jackpot, the jackpot symbol random number stored in the RAM 114 is determined (S333), and the first special symbol display 21 or the second special symbol display 22 is set based on the determination result. The jackpot symbol to be set is set (S334), and the jackpot determination process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S332 that the jackpot is not a big hit, it is next determined whether or not the jackpot is based on the big hit random number (S335). Here, when it is determined that the jackpot is determined, a bonus game set to the first special symbol display 21 or the second special symbol display 22 is set (S336), and the jackpot determination process is terminated. If it is determined in step S335 that the game is not a small hit, a lost symbol to be set on the first special symbol display 21 or the second special symbol display 22 is set (S337), and the big hit determination process is terminated.

[Variation pattern selection processing]
FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of a variation pattern selection process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot is based on the jackpot symbol (S341), and if the jackpot is determined to be a jackpot, sets the jackpot table in the RAM 114 (S342).
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S341 that it is not a big hit, then a reach random number is determined (S343), and it is determined whether or not it is a reach (S344). If it is determined that the reach is reached, the reach table is set in the RAM 114 (S345). If it is determined in step S344 that it is not reach, the loss table is set in the RAM 114 (S346).
Next, the CPU 112 determines the previously obtained variation pattern random number (S347), sets a variation pattern according to the variation pattern random number (S348), and ends the variation pattern selection process.

[Processing while stopped]
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of the stop process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the time reduction flag is ON (S351), and if it is determined that the time reduction flag is ON, the CPU 112 sets “1” from the remaining time J of the time reduction game stored in the RAM 114. Subtraction is performed (S352).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the remaining game count J is “0” (S353). If the remaining game count J is “0”, the special symbol variation display is performed a predetermined number of times in the short-time game. Since this means that it has been performed (for example, 100 times), the time reduction flag is turned OFF (S354). If it is determined in step S351 that the time reduction flag is not ON, or if it is determined in step S353 that the remaining game number J is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S355.

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the high-accuracy flag is ON (S355). If it is determined that the high-accuracy flag is ON, the remaining number of games of the high-probability game stored in the RAM 114 is determined. “1” is subtracted from X (S356).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the remaining game count X is “0” (S357). If the remaining game count X is “0”, a special symbol variation display is predetermined in the high-probability game. Since this means that the number of times (for example, 10,000 times) has been performed, the high-accuracy flag is turned OFF (S358). If it is determined in step S355 that the high-accuracy flag is not ON, or if it is determined in step S357 that the remaining game number X is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S359.

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot is based on the special symbol set on the first special symbol display 21 or the second special symbol display 22 (S359). Next, it is determined whether or not the set special symbol is “small hit” (S360). If it is determined that the bonus symbol is a small hit, the small hit game flag is turned ON (S361). . Thereafter, the jackpot opening is started, a jackpot opening command is set (S362, S363), and the stop process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S360 that it is not a small hit, the variable stop process is terminated without turning on the small hit game flag.
If it is determined in step 359 that the jackpot is a jackpot, it is next determined whether or not the jackpot is a jackpot (S364). If it is determined that the jackpot is a jackpot, the name wins the game flag. If it is not ON (S365), the short hit flag is set ON (S366). Thereafter, the remaining number of games J for the short-time game and the remaining number X for the high-probability game are each set to “0”, and the remaining number of games J / X is reset (S367). It is turned off (S368). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S362.

[Customer waiting setting process]
FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of a customer waiting setting process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the customer waiting flag is ON (S371). If it is determined that the waiting flag is ON, the customer waiting setting process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S371 that the waiting flag is not ON, a customer waiting command is set and the customer waiting flag is turned ON (S372, S373), and the customer waiting setting process is terminated.

[Normal pattern processing]
FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an example of normal symbol processing executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the auxiliary game flag is ON (S381). If it is determined that the auxiliary game flag is ON, the normal symbol process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S381 that the auxiliary game flag is not ON, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is changing (S382). Here, when it is determined that the normal symbol is not changing, it is determined whether or not the gate passing number G of the gate SW 15a is larger than “1” (S383), and the gate passing number G is larger than “1”. 1 subtracts “1” from the number of times of gate passage (S384), and if it is determined that the number of times of gate passage G is not greater than “1”, that is, “0”, the normal symbol processing is terminated.
Next, the CPU 112 determines a normal random number per symbol (S385), and sets a stop symbol to be stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display 23 and a variation time (S386, S387).
Here, for example, it is conceivable that the variation time is set to 4.0 seconds if the hourly flag is OFF, and 1.5 seconds if the hourly flag is ON.

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed (S389). If it is determined that the predetermined variation time has elapsed, the CPU 112 stops the variation (S390), If it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the normal symbol processing is terminated.
Next, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is a winning symbol (S391). If the normal symbol is a winning symbol, the auxiliary game flag is turned ON (S392), and the normal symbol processing is terminated. If the stop symbol is not a winning symbol in step S391, the normal symbol processing is terminated without turning on the auxiliary game flag.
If it is determined in step S382 that the normal symbol is changing, the process proceeds to step S389, and it is determined whether or not the normal symbol variation time has passed a predetermined variation time.

[Large winning prize processing]
FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing an example of the big prize opening process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot game flag is ON (S411). If it is determined that the jackpot game flag is ON, the CPU 112 determines whether or not it is opening (S412). If it is determined that the jackpot opening is in progress, it is then determined whether or not the opening time has elapsed (S413). If it is determined that the opening time has elapsed, the number of rounds (number of Rs) / operation pattern is set (S414).

  FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a setting example of the number of rounds / actuation pattern. When the jackpot is a long hit, the number of rounds (R number) is 15R, the action pattern in 1R is 29.5 seconds open × Set once. If the big hit is a short hit, the number of rounds (R number) is set to 15R, the operating pattern in 1R is set to 0.1 second open x 1 time. As in the case of winning, the number of rounds (R number) is set to 15R and the operating pattern in 1R is set to 0.1 second opening × 1 time.

Next, the CPU 112 sets “0” to the number counter C1 indicating the number of winnings per round to the big winning opening 16, and adds “1” to the value of the number of rounds R (S415, S416). Thereafter, the operation of the special winning opening 16 is started. That is, the special winning opening 16 is changed from the closed state to the open state (S417).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the operating time of the special winning opening 16 has passed the predetermined operating time (S418), and if it is determined that the operating time has not passed the predetermined time, It is determined whether or not the value of the counter C has reached the specified number (S419).
Here, when it is determined that the value of the number counter C is the specified number C, the operation of the special winning opening 16 is ended. That is, the special winning opening 16 is changed from the open state to the closed state (S420).
On the other hand, if it is determined that the value of the number counter C has not reached the specified number, the big prize opening process is terminated.
In step S418, if the operating time of the special winning opening 16 has exceeded the predetermined operating time, the process of step S419 is skipped, and the number of the special winning opening 16 is checked without checking the number of the number counter C. The operation is terminated (S420).

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot round number is the maximum round number R. That is, it is determined whether or not the big hit round is the final round (S421).
Here, when it is determined that the jackpot round is the final round, ending is started and an ending command is set (S422, S423).
Next, the CPU 112 sets the value of the number of rounds R to “0” (S424). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the ending time has passed (S425). If it is determined that the ending time has passed, a game state setting process described later is executed (S426), and the jackpot flag is turned OFF ( S427), the big prize opening process is terminated.

In step S412, if it is determined that the jackpot opening is not in progress, it is determined whether or not ending is in progress (S428). If it is determined that ending is in progress, the process proceeds to step S425 and is not in ending. Is determined, it is determined whether or not the special winning opening is in operation (S429).
If it is determined that the special winning opening 16 is in operation, the process proceeds to step S418. If it is determined that the special winning opening 16 is not in operation, the process proceeds to step S415.
If it is determined in step S413 that the opening time has not elapsed, or if it is determined in step S419 that the value of the number counter C1 has not reached the specified number, in step S421, the big hit round is not the final round. If it is determined, or if it is determined in step S425 that the ending time has not elapsed, the special winning opening process is terminated.

[Game state setting process]
FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an example of the game state setting process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 first determines whether or not it is a small hit (S431), and if it is determined that it is a small hit, the gaming state setting process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not a small hit, it is next determined whether or not it is a normal length (per length with a low probability) (S432). Is set to ON, and for example, “100” is set to the remaining game count J of the short-time game (S433, S434), and the gaming state setting process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S432 that it is not a normal long win, it is a big hit to give a high-probability game. Set (S435, S436).
Next, it is determined whether or not the hit is with a short time (S437). If it is determined that the win is with a short time, the time flag is set to ON and the remaining game count J of the short time game is set to, for example, “ 100 "is set (S438, S439), and the gaming state setting process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S437 that the time-shortening is not reached, the time-shortening flag is turned OFF, the remaining game count J of the time-shortening game is reset (S440, S441), and the game state setting process is terminated.

[Den Chu processing]
FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing an example of electric chew processing executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the auxiliary game flag is ON (S511). If it is determined that the auxiliary game flag is ON, it is next determined whether or not the electric chew 14 is operating. This is performed (S512). Here, if the electric chew 14 is not in operation, the operation pattern of the electric chew 14 is set according to the gaming state (S513), and the operation of the electric chew 14 is started (S514).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the operation time of the electric chew 14 has passed a predetermined operation time (S515). If it is determined that the operation time of the electric chew 14 has elapsed, an auxiliary game flag is set. It is turned off (S516), and the electric Chu process is terminated.
Here, the operating time of the electric Chu 14 to be set is set to, for example, 0.15 second release × 1 when the hourly flag is OFF, and 1.80 second release × 3 when the hourly flag is ON. It is possible. If it is determined in step S512 that the electric chew 14 is operating, the process proceeds to step S515. If it is determined in step S511 that the auxiliary game flag is not ON, or if it is determined in step S515 that the operation time of the electric chew 14 has not elapsed, the electric chew process is terminated.

Next, processing executed by the effect control board 121 will be described.
[Timer interrupt processing]
FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing an example of timer interrupt processing executed by the CPU of the effect control board. Note that the timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 21 can be realized by the CPU 122 of the effect control board 121 executing a program stored in the ROM 123.
In this case, the CPU 122 of the effect control board 121 executes a command reception process (S610), a right-handed determination process (S620), an effect button process (S630), a command transmission process (S640), and the like as the timer interrupt process.
Next, an example of main processing executed by the CPU 122 of the effect control board 121 as timer interrupt processing will be described. Note that the processing described below can also be realized by the CPU 122 of the effect control board 121 executing a program stored in the ROM 123.

[Command reception processing]
FIG. 22 is a flowchart illustrating an example of command reception processing.
In this case, the CPU 122 determines whether or not a hold number increase command has been received (S701). If it is determined that a hold number increase command has been received, the CPU 122 adds a hold number (S702). Then, after adding the hold number, a hold number command is set (S703).
Next, the CPU 122 determines whether or not a variation start command has been received (S704). If it is determined that a variation start command has been received, an effect selection process is executed (S705).
Then, after the effect selection process is completed, it is determined whether or not a change stop command has been received next (S706). If it is determined in step S704 that the variation start command has not been received, the process proceeds to step S706 without performing the effect selection process.

Next, when it is determined in step S706 that the variation stop command has been received, the CPU 122 executes a variation effect end process (S707).
Then, after the end of the process during the end of the variation effect, it is determined whether or not an opening command has been received next (S708). If it is determined in step S706 that the variation stop command has not been received, the process proceeds to step S708 without executing the variation effect end process.
Next, when it is determined in step S708 that an opening command has been received, a winning effect selection process is executed (S709).
Then, after the winning effect selection process is completed, it is determined whether or not an ending command has been received next (S710). If it is determined in step S708 that the opening command has not been received, the process proceeds to step S710 without performing the hit effect selection process.

Next, when it is determined in step S710 that an ending command has been received, an ending effect selection process is executed (S711).
Then, after the ending effect selection process ends, a customer waiting command reception process is executed (S712), and the command reception process ends. If it is determined in step S710 that an ending command has not been received, the process proceeds to step S712 without executing the ending effect selection process.

[Change mode flag]
FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating an example of mode flag change.
As shown in FIG. 23, when “0” is set in the mode flag indicating the game effect mode, the A mode (normal mode) is selected as the effect mode.
Next, when winning a symbol per length with high probability, the mode flag is set to “1”. When the mode flag is set to “1”, the B mode effect is selected as the game effect. In this case, “10000” is substituted for the mode count value M.
In addition, when the symbol per length with normal time is won, “2” is set in the mode flag. When the mode flag is set to “2”, the C mode effect is selected as the game effect, and “100” is substituted for the mode count value M1.
In addition, when winning a short winning symbol with a high probability time or a short winning symbol with a normal time, “3” is set in the mode flag. When the mode flag is set to “3”, the D mode effect is selected as the game effect, and “100” is substituted for the mode count value M.
In addition, when the winning pattern is a short winning symbol without a short time with high probability or a small winning symbol, “4” is set in the mode flag. When the mode flag is set to “4”, the E mode is selected as the game effect, and “30” is substituted for the mode count value M.

[Direction selection process]
FIG. 24 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the effect selection process.
In this case, the CPU 122 analyzes the change start command and refers to a mode flag described later (S721, S722). Thereafter, the hold number is subtracted (S723).
Next, the CPU 122 determines whether or not it is a right-handed gaming state (S724). The determination of whether or not the player is in the right-handed gaming state can be made in the right-handed gaming state if the mode flag shown in FIG. 23 is any of the B mode, C mode, and D mode, and the other A mode and E mode. Thus, it can be determined that the game state is normal.
If it is determined in step S724 that the game is not in the right-handed gaming state, a variation effect pattern is selected based on the analysis result of the variation start command and the mode flag (S725). Thereafter, a change start command corresponding to the selected change effect pattern is set (S726), and the effect selection process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S724 that the game is in the right-handed gaming state, it is next determined whether or not the right-handed flag is ON (S727), and if it is determined that the right-handed flag is ON. The process proceeds to step S725.
If it is determined in step S727 that the right-handed flag is not ON, the abnormal variation effect pattern from which the effect related to the effect button 104 is deleted is selected (S728). Thereafter, a variation start command corresponding to the selected abnormal variation effect pattern is set (S726), and the effect selection process is terminated.

[Processing during variation production]
FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing an example of the process during the end of the changing effect.
In this case, the CPU 122 analyzes the change stop command and refers to the mode flag (S731, S732).
Next, the CPU 122 determines whether or not the winning is made (S733). If it is determined that the winning is made, the CPU 122 performs the mode flag changing process shown in FIG. 24 based on the winning symbol (S734). . Thereafter, a change effect end command is set (S739), and the change effect end processing is ended.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S733 that the winning combination has not been won, it is next determined whether or not the mode flag is “0” (S735). If the mode flag is “0”, that is, If the gaming state is the normal mode, a variation effect end command is set in step S739, and the variation effect end process ends.
If it is determined in step S735 that the mode flag is not “0”, “1” is subtracted from the mode count value M (S736).
Next, it is determined whether or not the mode count value M is “0” (737). If the mode count value M is “0”, the mode flag is set to “0” (S738). Thereafter, in step S739, a variation effect end command is set, and the variation effect end process ends.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S737 that the mode count value M is not “0”, the variation effect end command is set in step S739 without changing the mode flag, and the variation effect end process ends.

[Winning effect selection process]
FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing an example of the hit effect selection process.
In this case, the CPU 122 analyzes the opening command (S751) and performs a winning effect pattern selection process (S752). Thereafter, an opening command is set (S753), and the winning effect selection process is terminated.

[Ending effect selection processing]
FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing an example of the ending effect selection process.
In this case, the CPU 122 analyzes the ending command and refers to the mode flag (S761, S762). Thereafter, an ending effect pattern is selected (S763). Thereafter, an ending effect start command is set (S764), and the ending effect selection process is terminated.

[Right-handed judgment processing]
FIG. 28 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a right-handed determination process.
In this case, the CPU 122 first determines whether or not it is a right-handed gaming state (S801). The determination as to whether or not the player is in the right-handed gaming state is as described above.
If it is determined in step S801 that the game is in the right-handed gaming state, it is next determined whether or not the handle ring 31 of the firing handle 103 is operated in the right-handed direction (S802). Whether or not the handle ring 31 is operated in the right-handed direction can be determined by whether or not the right-handed detection SW 42 incorporated in the firing handle 103 is on.
If it is determined in step S802 that a right-handed operation has been performed, the right-handed flag is turned ON (S803), and the right-handed determination process is terminated. If it is determined in step S802 that a right-handed operation has not been performed, the right-handed flag is turned off (S804), and the right-handed determination process is terminated.

[Direction button processing]
FIG. 29 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the effect button process.
In this case, the CPU 122 determines whether or not the effect button 104 (for example, the chance button 19) is ON (S901). If it is determined that the effect button 104 is ON, the game of the gaming machine is next performed. It is determined whether or not the state is a right-handed gaming state.
Here, if the gaming state is not a right-handed gaming state, an effect button command is set (S903), and the effect button process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S902 that the game is in the right-handed gaming state, it is next determined whether or not the right-handed flag is ON (S904).
If it is determined in step S904 that the right-handed flag is ON, the process proceeds to step S903, and an effect button command is set.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S904 that the right-handed flag is not ON, the effect button process is terminated without setting the effect button command. If it is determined in step S904 that the right-handed flag is not ON, a warning message command may be set instead of the effect button command.
When the effect button command is set, if the player participation type effect using the chance button 19 is selected in the variation effect pattern selection process shown in FIG. Effect control to change (progress) the effect.
When a warning message command is set, the CPU 132 of the image control board 131 performs display control for displaying a warning message image on the image display 11 and output control for outputting a warning message sound from the speaker 105. It ’s fine.
