  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment can generate a short-time operation state (second open state) as a gaming state based on the result mode of the special figure variation display game. At this time, the short operation state (second open state) is a state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is more likely to be in the open state than in the normal operation state (first open 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. 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). In the short-time operation state, the normal variation winning device 7 is opened a plurality of 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 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. As a result, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment, when converting the second starting port (ordinary variable winning device 7) to the second state, the first opening state where the game ball is easy to win and the first opening. Can be converted to a second open state in which a game ball is likely to win for a longer period than the state, and can be converted to the second open state up to a predetermined number of variable display games based on the establishment of a predetermined condition. 2 open state control means.

  The first start winning opening 13 is provided with a first start opening SW13a (shown in FIG. 3). 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. 3) is provided inside the normal variation winning device 7, and a second special figure as an auxiliary game is based on detecting a game ball by the second start opening SW7d. The start right to start the variable display game is generated. The start right to start the first special figure variation display game is stored as a first start memory (a special figure 1 start memory, a first special figure 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 a second start memory (special figure 2 start memory, second special figure start memory) within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). . The second start-up memory is displayed on the second special figure memory display 19. The start memory of the first special figure variation display game is displayed on the first special figure memory display 18 provided with LEDs. For example, as shown in FIG. Of these, when the starting memory number is “1”, the upper LED is lit, and when the starting memory number is “2”, the lower LED is also lit. When the starting memory number is “3”, the upper LED blinks, and when the starting memory number is “4”, the lower LED also blinks, so that the starting memory number can be determined. ing. Similarly, the start memory of the second special figure variation display game is displayed on the second special figure memory display 19 having an LED. For example, as shown in FIG. Of the two LEDs, the upper LED is lit when the starting memory number is “1”, and the lower LED is also lit when the starting memory number is “2”. When the starting memory number is “3”, the upper LED blinks, and when the starting memory number is “4”, the lower LED also blinks, so that the starting memory number can be determined. ing.

  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 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 second start port is When a game ball wins the normal variation winning device 7 to be formed, the second start memory is stored with the generation of the start right, the second start memory number is incremented by 1, and immediately based on the second start memory. Then, 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, if the second start memory number is less than the upper limit number (for example, less than four), the second start memory number is incremented by 1 and the second start is started. One 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 a first special figure display 8 provided on the outer right side of the guide rail 2 at the lower right of the front surface of the game board main body 1b. 2 is executed by the special-figure display 9, and after a plurality of pieces of identification information are variably displayed, a predetermined result mode is stopped and displayed. 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.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment can generate a probable change state (second game state, high probability state) as a game state based on the result form of the special figure variation display game. This probability variation state (second game state) is a state in which the probability of a winning result in the special figure variation display game is higher than the normal probability state (first game 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. When the probability variation state and the short-time operation state are generated simultaneously, for example, if the number of variable display games in the time-short state is 66, the probability variation state is added to the number of variable display games for four times that is the upper limit number of start memories. It may be possible to continue up to 70 times.

  The first variable winning device 10 as a variable winning device includes a special 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 is tilted toward the front side.

  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.

  Also, 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 random number for jackpot determination (counter value for jackpot) of the first special figure variation display game is extracted. Then, the process of storing in the RAM 31c as the first start memory is performed. That is, the first hold on which the game control device 30 can specify the number of game balls won to the first start winning opening 13 where the first start condition up to the predetermined upper limit is not satisfied and the lottery result corresponding to the win First holding means (holding means) for storing stored data is provided. Similarly, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the second starting port SW7d provided in the normal variation winning device 7, the random number value for jackpot determination (counter value for jackpot) of the second special figure variation display game is extracted. Then, the process of storing in the RAM 31c as the second start memory is performed. That is, the second on-hold storage in which the game control device 30 can specify the number of game balls won to the normal variation winning device 7 for which the second start condition up to the predetermined upper limit is not satisfied and the lottery result corresponding to the winning is determined. It constitutes a second holding means (holding means) for storing data.

  Further, when the game ball is won in the first start winning opening 13 (first start opening), the big hit determination random number value (big hit counter value) stored in the first start storage is stored in the ROM 31b. Compared with the judgment value (specific value) for 1 special figure fluctuation display game, the hit of 1st special figure fluctuation display game (probability big hit, normal big hit, sudden hit big hit, sudden hit big hit, sudden hit big hit, small hit) The process which determines is performed. Similarly, when winning a game ball to the normal variation winning device 7 (second starting port), the big hit determination random number value (big hit counter value) stored in the second start memory is stored in the ROM 31b. Compared with the judgment value (specific value) for the 2 special figure fluctuation display game, hit the second special figure fluctuation display game (probability big hit, normal big hit, sudden hit big hit, sudden hit big hit, sudden hit big hit, small hit) The process which determines is performed. That is, the game control device 30 executes a lottery by winning a game ball at the starting port (the first starting winning port 13, the normal variation winning device 7), and a special game advantageous to the player based on the lottery result. Special game state lottery means capable of setting the state in a plurality of stages.

  In the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game, a predetermined number of first determination values are set as specific values in the normal probability state, and this specific value (first determination value) and jackpot determination are used. Random numbers are compared, and if they match, a big hit is determined. In the high probability state, a predetermined number of second determination values different from the first determination value and the first determination value are set as specific values, and the specific value (first determination value, second determination value) and jackpot determination It compares with the random number value for use, and determines that it is a big hit if they match. In the high probability state, only a predetermined number of second determination values different from the first determination value may be used as the specific value. However, the number of second determination values is made larger than the first determination value so that the probability of winning a big hit is higher than in the normal probability state.

  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 functions as an execution instructing unit for sequentially instructing execution of the effect display with the variation pattern based on the determination result held by the holding unit (game control device 30).

  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, the game control apparatus 30 derives and displays the display result on the first variable display unit (first special figure display 8) or displays the display result on the second variable display unit (second special figure display 9). When the first hold means (game control device 30) stores the first hold storage data and the second hold means (game control device 30) stores the second hold storage data when the derived display is performed. Assuming that the second start condition based on the winning at the second starting port (ordinary variable winning device 7) is satisfied, the variable display game based on the winning at the second starting port (ordinary varying winning device 7) is started first. It functions as a priority execution means that executes in preference to the variable display game based on winning in the mouth (first start winning opening 13).

  The game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 displays a special result mode (special result) on the special figure display when the result of the special figure fluctuation display game is around 16R (probable big hit / normal big hit). In addition, a process for generating the first special gaming state is performed. In the process of generating the first special gaming state, for example, control is performed such that the opening / closing door 10a of the first variable prize winning device 10 is opened by the first big prize opening SOL10b and the game ball can flow into the big prize opening. Do. Then, until the condition that either a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins in the big winning opening or a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds) elapses after the opening of the big winning opening is achieved. Opening the mouth is defined as one round, and control (cycle game) is performed in which this is repeated (repeated) a predetermined number of times (for example, 16 times). When the result of the special figure change display game is 4R (surprise big hit, sudden big hit, sudden big hit) or small hit, a special result mode (special result) is displayed on the special figure display and the second A process for generating a special game state is performed. In the process of generating the second special game state, for example, control is performed such that the opening / closing door 10a of the first variable prize winning device 10 is opened by the first big prize opening SOL10b and the game ball can flow into the big prize opening. Do. Then, the opening of the grand prize opening is defined as one round until a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 seconds) has elapsed since the opening of the big prize opening, and this is repeated (repeated) for a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 4 times). Cycle game). After that, in the case of a big hit, it shifts to a probability change state, and in the case of a big hit, it shifts to a time reduction state. Further, in the case of a rush big hit or a small hit, the game does not shift to the probability change state or the time reduction state but shifts to the normal game state. 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.

  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 high value given to the player means, for example, that the distribution ratio of the number of rounds in the special gaming state is advantageous for the player (see FIGS. 7 (1) and (2)). 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.

  Further, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31, games input from sensors (first start port SW13a, second start port SW7d, winning port SW12a, first count SW10c, second count SW110c) provided at various winning ports. Based on the ball detection signal, the payout control device 125 is controlled so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out from the discharge device.

  In addition, the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 stores the jackpot determination random number value stored in the first start memory or the second start memory and the ROM 31b in addition to the start timing of the special figure variation display game. Whether or not a special result mode is derived in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory for the start memory for which the special figure fluctuation display game has not yet been executed. The process of determining whether or not

  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.

  In FIG. 4, the state transition diagram for demonstrating the gaming state in the pachinko game machine of this embodiment was shown. When there is no first start memory and second start memory, the normal state ST1 (normal state, waiting for customers) is entered, and the first start memory (Special Figure 1 start memory) and second start memory (Special Figure 2 start memory). It will be in the state which waits for generation | occurrence | production. In this normal state ST1, when there is a prize (first special figure start prize) in the first start winning opening 13, the process shifts to the first special figure fluctuation state (special figure 1 fluctuation state) ST2, and the first special figure fluctuation. A display game is executed. In addition, in the normal state ST1, when there is a prize (second special figure starting prize) in the normal variation prize winning device 7, the process shifts to the second special figure fluctuation state (special figure 2 fluctuation state) ST3 and the second special figure fluctuation. A display game is executed.

  The first special figure fluctuation state ST2 is a state in which the first special figure fluctuation display game is being executed, and when a special result mode is derived as a result of the first special figure fluctuation display game (when the big hit condition is satisfied) ) Shifts to a big hit state ST4 and enters a special game state. In addition, in the first special figure fluctuation state ST2, when the result of the first special figure fluctuation display game is a failure that does not satisfy the jackpot condition, and there is no first start memory and second start memory, The process shifts to the state ST1 and waits for generation of the first start memory and the second start memory. Further, in the first special figure fluctuation state ST2, when the result of the first special figure fluctuation display game is a failure that does not satisfy the jackpot condition, and there is no second start memory and there is a first start memory, The first special figure fluctuation display game is executed in the first special figure fluctuation state ST2. Further, when the result of the first special figure fluctuation display game is a failure that does not satisfy the big hit condition in the first special figure fluctuation state ST2, and there is a second start memory, the second special figure fluctuation state The process proceeds to ST3, and the second special figure variation display game is executed. Since the second start memory is preferentially digested over the first start memory, if there is a second start memory, the second special figure variation state ST3 even if the first start memory exists. Then, the second special figure fluctuation display game is executed.

  The second special figure fluctuation state ST3 is a state in which the second special figure fluctuation display game is being executed, and when a special result mode is derived as a result of the second special figure fluctuation display game (when the big hit condition is satisfied) ) Shifts to a big hit state ST4 and enters a special game state. Further, in the second special figure fluctuation state ST3, when the result of the second special figure fluctuation display game is a failure that does not satisfy the jackpot condition and there is no first start memory and second start memory, The process shifts to the state ST1 and waits for generation of the first start memory and the second start memory. Further, in the second special figure fluctuation state ST3, when the result of the second special figure fluctuation display game is a failure that does not satisfy the big hit condition, and there is no second start memory and there is a first start memory, The process shifts to the first special figure fluctuation state ST2, and the first special figure fluctuation display game is executed. Further, in the second special figure fluctuation state ST3, when the result of the second special figure fluctuation display game is a failure that does not satisfy the jackpot condition and there is a second start memory, the second special figure fluctuation state In ST3, the second special figure variation display game is executed. In the normal state ST1, when there is a prize (second special figure starting prize) in the normal variation winning device 7, the process shifts to the second special figure fluctuation state (special figure 2 fluctuation state) ST3, and the second special figure fluctuation. A display game is executed.

  The big hit state ST4 is a state in which a special game state in which a predetermined game value can be given to the player is being executed. When the special game state ends in the big hit state ST4 and there is no first start memory and second start memory, the state shifts to the normal state ST1 and waits for the occurrence of the first start memory and the second start memory. It becomes. Further, when the special game state is ended in the big hit state ST4 and there is no second start memory and there is a first start memory, the process proceeds to the first special figure fluctuation state ST2 and the first special figure fluctuation display game is executed. Further, when the special game state ends in the big hit state ST4 and there is a second start memory, the process shifts to the second special figure fluctuation state ST3 and executes the second special figure fluctuation display game. In the normal state ST1, when there is a prize (second special figure starting prize) in the normal variation winning device 7, the process shifts to the second special figure fluctuation state (special figure 2 fluctuation state) ST3, and the second special figure fluctuation. A display game is executed.

  5 and 6 are state transition diagrams for explaining the details of the big hit state in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment.

[Distribution of the first special figure variation display game]
As shown in FIG. 5, in the first special figure variation display game, the normal state D is a state in which the player can recognize that it is a normal probability state by the display mode on the display device 43, for example. In the normal state D, when the result of the first special figure variation display game is stopped in the small hit state, the state shifts to the small hit state A, and when the small hit state A ends, the normal state D is returned. The probability of occurrence of the small hit state A in the normal state D is set to 1/300, for example. Similarly to the case of 4R, a predetermined time (for example, from the opening of the big winning opening of the first variable winning device 10) Opening the grand prize winning opening until 0.3 seconds) is one round, and this is repeated (repeated) for a predetermined number of rounds (four times).

Further, in the normal state D, when the result of the first special figure variation display game is stopped in a mode per 4R (round), the state shifts to a state B per 4R, and from the opening of the big winning opening of the first variable prize winning device 10. Opening the grand prize opening until a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 seconds) elapses is defined as one round, and this is repeated (repeated) a predetermined number of times (four times). When the state B per 4R ends, the state shifts to a normal state D or a probability change state E without an electric accessory support (hereinafter, electric support).
As shown in FIG. 7 (1), in the first special figure variation display game, after the completion of the state B per 4R, the winning rate per 4R normal to shift to the normal state D is 18%, and the probability change without power support. The winning rate per 4R probability change to state E is set to 22%. In the probability variation state E without electrical support, either the small hit state A, the 4R per state B, or the 16R per state C can occur.

  In the normal state D, when the result of the first special figure variation display game is stopped in a manner per 16R (round), the state shifts to a state C per 16R, and a predetermined number is placed in the big prize opening of the first variable prize winning device 10. One round of opening the grand prize opening until one of the conditions (e.g., 10 game balls) wins or a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds) elapses from the opening of the big prize opening. This is repeated (repeated) for a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 16 times). Note that the probability of transitioning to either the above-described 4R per state B or 16R per state C is 1/316. When the state C per 16R ends, the state shifts to a probability variation state F with electric support until the next big hit. As shown in FIG. 7 (1), in the first special figure fluctuation display game, after the end of the state C per 16R, the winning rate per 16R probability change that shifts to the probability change state F with electric support until the next big hit is It is set to 60%. In the probability variation state F with electric support until the next big hit, either the small hit state A, the 4R hit state B, or the 16R hit state C can occur.

[Distribution of the second special figure variation display game]
Next, as shown in FIG. 6, in the second special figure variation display game, the normal state K is a normal probability state by the display mode on the display device 43, for example, as in the first special figure variation display game. This is a state in which the player can recognize this. In the normal state K, when the result of the second special figure variation display game is stopped in the small hit state, the state shifts to the small hit state G, and when the small hit state G ends, the normal state K is restored. In addition, the probability that the small hit state G occurs in the normal state K is set to 1/30, for example, and a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 seconds) has elapsed since the big winning opening of the second variable winning device 110 is opened. Open the grand prize opening once until the time has passed.

  In addition, when the result of the second special figure variation display game is stopped in the 4R (round) mode in the normal state K, the state shifts to the 4R (round) state H, and the large winning opening of the second variable prize winning device 110 is released. Opening the grand prize opening until a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 seconds) elapses is defined as one round, and this is repeated (repeated) a predetermined number of times (four times). When the state 4B per 4R ends, the state shifts to the probability variation state L with electric support until the next big hit. As shown in FIG. 7 (2), in the second special figure fluctuation display game, after the end of the 4R hit state H, the winning rate per 4R normal to shift to the probability change state L with electric support until the next big hit is It is set to 40%. In the probability variation state L with electric support until the next big hit, the small hit state G, the 4R state H, the 16R (second variable winning device open) state I, the 16R (first variable winning device open) state J Either of these can occur.

  Further, in the normal state K, when the result of the second special figure variable display game is stopped in a manner per 16R (round), per 16R (second variable winning device opened) per state I or 16R (first variable winning device) Open) Transition to state J. Note that the probability of shifting to either the above-described state H per 4R, state I per 16R (second variable winning device open) state I or state J per 16R (first variable winning device open) is 10/316. In the state I per 16R (second variable winning device opened), a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the big winning opening of the second variable winning device 110, or the predetermined winning opening is opened. Opening the big prize opening until one of the conditions (for example, 25 seconds) elapses is achieved as one round, and this is repeated (repeated) for a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 16 times). Further, in the state J per 16R (first variable winning device opened), a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins a big winning opening of the first variable winning device 10 or a predetermined time from the opening of the large winning opening. Opening the grand prize opening until one of the conditions (for example, 25 seconds) has elapsed is defined as one round, and this is continued (repeated) for a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 16 times). When the state I per 16R (second variable winning device opened) state I ends, the state shifts to the probability variation state L with electric support until the next big hit. As shown in FIG. 7 (2), in the second special figure variation display game, after the end of the state I per 16R (second variation winning device open) state I shifts to the probability variation state L with electric support until the next big hit. The winning rate per 16R probability change is set to 32%. In addition, when the state J per 16R (first variation winning device opened) is completed, the probability variation state L with electric support, the probability variation state M with electric support 100 times, and the normal state with power support 100 times (short-time state) until the next big hit. Shift to any one of N. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7 (2), in the second special figure fluctuation display game, after the end of the state J per 16R (the first variable winning device is released), the state shifts to the positive change state L with electric support until the next big hit. The winning rate per 16R probability change is 5%, the winning rate per 16R probability change to 100% with electric support is 5%, and the normal state (short-time state) with 16 times the electrical support is 16R per normal The winning rate is set at 18%. It should be noted that in the probability variation state M with 100 electric supports and the normal state (short-time state) N with 100 electric supports, the small hit state G, 4R state H, and 16R (second variable winning device open) state I, Any of the states J can be generated per 16R (first variable winning device opened).

  Next, game control 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. 8, in the main process, the process at the start of the program is first performed.

This display example is in the time-short operation state (step S101; Yes), and the remaining number of time reductions is "29 times" as shown in FIG. 16 (1). The first start memory number and the second start memory number are both “4”. At this time, the big hit determination counter value to be won is not stored in the second start memory.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 16 (2), the second special figure variation display game based on the second start memory whose digestion order is the first is started, and the second start memory becomes “3”. Next, as shown in FIG. 17 (3), when a new second start memory is generated during the variation of the second special figure variation display game, the second start memory becomes “4”. If this new second start memory is a big hit determination counter value (step S109), as shown in FIG. 17 (4), the fluctuation of the second special figure fluctuation display game that is currently fluctuating. After the completion, a total value “104” of the number of times of change “4” and the number of short times after hitting (for example, 100 times) until the start of the second special figure change display game based on this new second start memory is obtained. As the number of time reductions, as shown in FIG. 17 (5), “remaining number of times 104” is displayed (step S110).

A right variation winning device (second variation winning device 110) disposed on the right side of the area is provided, and the game control means executes a lottery when a game ball wins at the start opening, and the player is based on the lottery result. Based on the lottery result of the special game state lottery means (game control device 30) capable of setting advantageous special game states in a plurality of stages, and a variation pattern to be displayed on the variable display device Fluctuating pattern Setting means (game control device 30) and holding means (game control device) for holding the start memory up to a predetermined upper limit number based on winning of the game ball to the new start opening obtained during the effect display of the variation pattern 30), execution instruction means (game control device 30) for sequentially instructing execution of the effect display with the variation pattern based on the lottery result of the start memory held by the hold means, and the game at the start port during the effect display of the variation pattern The ball wins, the jackpot determination counter value is acquired at the winning timing, the acquired jackpot determination counter value is compared with the determination value, and the variation pattern based on the winning is before the fluctuation starts The lottery result prefetching means (game control device 30) capable of informing the state based on the comparison determination result and the right fluctuation winning device when the player is in a state advantageous to the player, Firing direction instruction control means (game control device 30 and effect control device 40) for instructing to fire, and the firing direction instruction control means is advantageous to the player on the right side variable prize winning device based on the lottery result prefetching means. In the case of notifying that there is a chance to convert to a correct state, the right-hand variation winning device gives a right-handed instruction before the player is in a state advantageous to the player.

  Therefore, it is possible to give a right-handed instruction before the occurrence of a big hit when the right-hand variable winning device is in an advantageous state for the player. Become.

  In addition, when the game control means converts the second start port to the second state, the game control means has a first open state in which a game ball is easily won, and a state in which the game ball is more likely to win a longer period than the first open state. The second open state control means (game control device 30) is convertible to the second open state and can be converted to the second open state up to a predetermined number of variable display games based on the establishment of the predetermined condition. It will be.

  Therefore, after the end of the second open state (short-time state), if there is a big hit in the start-up memory that opens the right-hand variable winning device, a right-handed instruction can be given before the big hit occurs, and the big hit Even if this happens, you can make a right-hand strike without panic.

  Further, the first variable display for starting the variable display of the first identification information and deriving and displaying the display result when the first start condition of the variable display is satisfied based on the winning of the game ball at the first start opening. Variable display of the second identification information is started when the second start condition of variable display is established based on the winning of the game ball at the second start port and the first start indicator. And a variable display device that is substantially synchronized with the start of operation of either the first variable display unit or the second variable display unit. And the first variable display section and the first variable display section after the stage time determined in relation to the result of the lottery determination that is generated based on the winning of the game ball at the first start port or the second start port. The presentation operation is terminated substantially in synchronization with the end of any operation of the second variable display section, and the holding means The first holding means for storing the first holding storage data capable of specifying the number of winning game balls to the first starting opening and the lottery result corresponding to the winning are not satisfied. (Game control device 30) and a second hold that can specify the number of game balls won to the second start port for which the second start condition up to a predetermined upper limit is not satisfied and the lottery result corresponding to the win Second holding means (game control device 30) for storing stored data, and the game control means has a first variable on condition that variable display of the second identification information is not executed in the second variable display section. Variable display of the first identification information is performed on the display unit, and variable display of the second identification information is performed on the second variable display unit on condition that the variable display of the first identification information is not performed on the first variable display unit. Variable display execution means (game control device 30) to be executed and the first variable display section When the display result is derived and displayed, or when the display result is derived and displayed on the second variable display unit, the first hold means stores the first hold stored data and the second hold means stores the second hold stored data. Is stored, the variable display based on the winning of the game ball to the second starting port is assumed to be the first starting port, assuming that the variable display start condition based on the winning of the game ball to the second starting port is satisfied. Priority execution means (game control device 30) that executes in preference to variable display based on winning of the game ball, and either the first variable display unit or the second variable display unit has a specific display result mode. If it becomes, it is possible to generate a special gaming state advantageous to the player, and the lottery result prefetching means is converted to the second opening state by the second opening state control means up to a predetermined variable display game number of times, Ratio by winning game balls to the 2nd starting port Only the notification of the state based on the comparison determination result is possible.

Therefore, after the end of the second open state (short-time state), if there is a big hit in the start-up memory that opens the right fluctuation winning device, it is possible to give a right-handed instruction before the occurrence of the big hit. Even if this happens, you can make a right-hand strike without panic.
In addition, the lottery result prefetching means (game control device 30) is converted into the second open state when the second open state control means (game control device 30) is converted to the second open state up to a predetermined number of variable display games. Only notification of a state based on a comparison determination result by winning a game ball to (ordinary variable winning device 7) can be performed.
Therefore, in a short time state in which a game ball is likely to win the normal variation winning device 7, the processing load of the game control device 30 is reduced by performing the prefetch processing only for the winning of the game ball to the normal variation winning device 7. can do.

  In addition, when the second opening state is changed to the second opening state by the second opening state control means up to a predetermined number of variable display games, the game ball is placed in the second starting port while being converted to the second opening state. When the second hold storage data related to the second hold means is stored based on winning the prize, the number of changes until the start of the change display game corresponding to the second hold storage data and a predetermined change display Short time count display means for displaying the total value of the number of games as the remaining short time count is provided.

Thus, when the second opening state is changed to the second opening state by the second opening state control means up to a predetermined number of variable display games, a game is played in the second starting port while being converted to the second opening state. When the second on-hold storage data related to the second holding means is stored based on the winning of the ball, the time display count means until the variable display game corresponding to the second on-hold storage data is started. A value obtained by summing the number of fluctuations and a predetermined number of fluctuation display games can be displayed as the remaining short time.
Therefore, by displaying the display, the player can know how many more rotations are made and at the same time, there is an unexpectedness that the remaining number of times is reduced, and the interest of the game can be further enhanced.
