Description

  The present invention relates to a special symbol variation process of a ball game machine having a plurality of special symbols.

In recent DigiPachi, there are bullet ball machines that are provided with two types of special symbols, and a big hit is generated for each symbol based on the ball entering the start opening corresponding to each symbol. The special symbols of these bullet ball machines change when the two special symbols start to change when they enter the corresponding starting holes, and there is a period when they change at the same time. While the other is waiting, the other waits and changes alternately in the order of entering the ball, or there is a case where one of the changes is preferentially performed under a predetermined condition. These digipachis generally have a reserve storage function for entering the starting opening with four for each special symbol, for a total of eight.

  In a ball game machine with a plurality of special symbols, by setting the order of variation of the plurality of special symbols and the order of variation for each gaming state, etc. , It can be expected to reduce the number of balls that enter a useless starting point (a winning ball can be acquired but a random number value cannot be obtained to determine the big hit), etc. As a result, it has not been possible to realize the jackpot expectation amplification originally required by the player.

  In view of these problems, the present invention has an object to provide a gaming machine capable of amplifying the expectation of winning a jackpot by increasing the number of special symbols in a ball game machine having a plurality of special symbols. To do.

The ball game machine according to claim 1,
A first start port and a second start port provided in the game area;
A determination unit for determining whether or not to execute a special game based on an extraction value extracted based on a ball entering the first start port or the second start port;
A first special symbol for notifying whether or not a special game is to be executed in a predetermined display mode according to a result of the success / failure determination means caused by entering the first starting port;
A second special symbol for notifying whether or not a special game is to be executed in a predetermined display mode according to the result of the success / failure determination means resulting from entering the second starting port;
First special symbol hold storage means for holding and storing the extracted value extracted for each ball entering the first first starting port while the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changing; ,
Second special symbol holding storage means for holding the extracted value to be extracted and stored up to a predetermined number while the first special symbol or the second special symbol is fluctuating. ,
In a ball game machine equipped with
When there is the extracted value held and stored in the second special symbol holding storage means, the second special symbol holding storage means is held and stored regardless of whether or not the first special symbol holding storage means is held. The extraction value is determined by the success / failure determination means, and the result of the determination is notified by the second special symbol, and the determination is a winning value for executing the special game, or the determination is a probability of executing the special game. When it is determined that the winning value is in a fluctuating state and the first special symbol hold storage means has a hold storage, the second special symbol notification is not carried out and the first special symbol hold storage means is held and stored. The extracted value is determined by the success / failure determination means ,
When the extraction value stored in the first special symbol storage unit is determined by the success / failure determination unit, the extraction value is stored regardless of the presence or absence of the extraction value stored in the second special symbol storage unit. The ball game machine is characterized in that determination is made based on an extracted value that has been stored for the longest time since it is stored, and notification is performed using the first special symbol regardless of the result of the determination .

  According to the ball game machine of claim 1, when the success / failure random number stored and stored in the second special symbol storage unit receives the big hit determination, the variation of the second special symbol related to the big hit determination is executed. First, the reserved memory of the first special symbol is preferentially digested. With this configuration, after securing one big hit for one special symbol, the game of the other special symbol is performed, and the period during which the first special symbol is preferentially consumed is the so-called 2 for the player. It is a game period aiming at more than Renso.

  When the jackpot is secured in the second special symbol hold memory in the probability variation type and the first special symbol hold memory is preferentially digested, the jackpot generated in the first special symbol becomes non-stochastic fluctuation. Even if it is a big hit (so-called one-shot big hit), the big special hit of the second special symbol will occur immediately after the big hit. This is to allow the player to recognize that a so-called double ream has occurred, and amplifies the player's expectation for the jackpot in proportion to the increase in the number of special symbols such as the first special symbol and the second special symbol. It becomes composition.

  In addition, when the success / failure random number stored and stored in the second special symbol hold storage means is subjected to the jackpot determination and is determined to shift to the probability fluctuation state, the variation of the second special symbol related to the jackpot determination is executed. First, the reserved memory of the first special symbol is preferentially digested. With this configuration, after securing at least two jackpots of one special symbol, the game of the other special symbol is carried out, and the period during which the first special symbol is preferentially consumed is so-called for the player. It is a game period aiming for more than 3 reams.

  A jackpot that is a probability variation type jackpot that will be a probability variation in the second special symbol, and when the first special symbol is preferentially fluctuating, the jackpot that occurs in the first special symbol will be a non-probability variation Even so, there is no short time after the end of the jackpot, and a probability variation jackpot of the second special symbol will occur. This is to allow the player to recognize that at least three consecutive villas have occurred in the type of pachinko gaming machine in which the probability variation continues until the next big hit, which is currently mainstream.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following examples, and various forms belonging to the technical scope of the present invention can be adopted.

The device 54b is controlled to display an effect image such as a pseudo symbol on the window 28a.

Next, each process performed by main controller 50 as a main routine will be described with reference to FIG.
The flowchart shown in FIG. 3 represents a main process executed by the microcomputer of the main controller 50, and is a process periodically executed by a hardware interrupt every about 2 ms. In the present embodiment, each process from S10 to S21 is a process that is executed only once in the interrupt process, and is referred to as “main process”, and is repeated as long as time permits within the remaining time after executing this main process. The process of S22 to be executed is referred to as “residual process”.

  When a hardware interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether or not the interrupt is a normal interrupt (S10). This determination process is performed by determining whether or not the value of a predetermined area of the RAM as a memory is a predetermined value. When the process executed by the microcomputer shifts to this process, the normal process is executed. It is for judging whether it is okay. If it is not a normal interrupt, microcomputer runaway due to noise or the like may be considered when power is turned on, but microcomputer runaway may be considered to be almost impossible due to recent technological improvements, and is usually when power is turned on. When the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.

  If it is determined that the interrupt is not normal (S10: NO), the initial value is written to the work area of the memory, such as writing a predetermined value in the predetermined area of the memory, and using a special symbol and a normal symbol as an initial symbol, that is, Initial settings are made (S11), and the process proceeds to a residual process.

  If a positive determination is made that the interrupt is normal, an initial value random number update process is first executed (S12). This process is an increment process that increments the initial random number value by 1 each time this process is executed. The initial random number value before this process is incremented by +1, but the random number value before this process is executed is the maximum. When the value is “349”, it returns to the initial value “0” in the next processing, and 350 integers from “0” to “349” are repeatedly generated in ascending order.

  The big hit determination random number update process (S13) following S12 is an increment process that increments by one each time the process is executed, similar to the initial value random number update process, and repeats 350 integers from “0” to “349”. When the jackpot determination random number is generated in ascending order and the jackpot determination random number is one week (one round), the initial value random number at that time is set as the initial value of the jackpot determination random number, and the jackpot determination random number is incremented by 1 from the initial value. Increment processing is performed. Then, when the big hit determining random number is again one week (one round), the operation of setting the initial value random number at that time to the initial value of the big hit determining random number is performed. That is, this series of operations is repeated.

  The jackpot symbol determination random number update process (S14) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates ten integers “0” to “9”, and is incremented by +1 for each process and is the initial value “0”. Return to.

The hit determination random number update process (S15) following S14 is configured as a counter that repeatedly generates six integers “0” to “5”, and is incremented by 1 every time this process exceeds the maximum value. Return to a certain “0”. The number of values to be won is 3 in both the normal probability state and the high probability state, and the values are “0”, “3”, and “5”.
This winning determination random number update process is used for lottery of normal symbols, and other initial value random numbers, big hit determination random numbers, big hit symbol determination random numbers, reach determination random numbers, and fluctuation pattern determination random numbers are drawn special symbols. Used for.

  The reach determination random number update process (S16) is configured as a counter that repeatedly generates 229 integers from “0” to “228”, and is incremented by +1 for each process and is the initial value “0”. Return to. In the normal probability state, the number of values won when the variable time shortening function is not activated is 21, and the values are “0” to “20”. The number is 5, the values are “0” to “4”, the number of values to be won in the high probability state is 6, and the values are “0” to “5”.

  The variation pattern determination random number update process (S17) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 1021 integers from “0” to “1020”. Return to "0".

In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S18), an input process of each switch connected to the main controller 50 is executed.
In this embodiment, when a game ball wins the first start port 31 or the second start port 32, a plurality of random numbers such as a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number, a reach determination random number, etc. are acquired. However, the number that can be held and stored is limited to 4 each, and even if the game ball wins the first starting port 31 or the second starting port 32 when the reserved memory is full, the prize ball is not received. The plurality of random numbers are merely stored and are not stored on hold.

  Subsequently, a success / failure determination process (S19) as condition establishment determination means for determining whether or not a big hit is made. When this success / failure determination process (S19) ends, each output process (S20) such as an image output process is subsequently executed.

  In each output process (S20), as the game progresses, the main controller 50 controls the production symbol controller 54a, the payout controller 51, the launch controller 52, the sub-integrated controller 53, the big prize opening solenoid 33c, and the like. Each output process is executed. That is, when it is detected in the winning confirmation process (S18) that there is a winning game ball at each winning port on the game board 8, the winning ball data is output to the payout control device 51 so as to pay out the gaming ball as a winning ball. In the process of outputting sound data corresponding to the gaming state to the sub-integrated control device 53, an error signal is output to the effect symbol control device 54a to notify that there is an error when there is an abnormality in the pachinko machine. Each process is executed.

  The subsequent fraud monitoring process (S21) is a process for monitoring whether or not the general winning opening 35a is fraudulent, and the number of game balls entering the winning opening within a predetermined time is greater than a predetermined number. This is a process of notifying that if there are many, it is determined to be illegal, and notifying that effect. That is, the fraud determination means is provided in the main control device 50.

  The remaining process subsequent to this process is composed of the initial value random number update process (S22), which is exactly the same process as S12 described above. This process forms an infinite loop and is repeated as long as time is allowed until the next interrupt is executed. The time required to execute the above-described processing from S10 to S21 differs for each interrupt depending on whether or not to execute the jackpot processing, the difference in the display mode of special symbols, and the like. As a result, the number of times the remaining process is executed is different for each interrupt, and the initial value random number updated (added) value is not uniform by executing the interrupt process shown in FIG. 3 once. As a result, there is no possibility that the initial value random number is synchronized with the jackpot determination random number. In the present embodiment, the big hit determination random number is updated according to the value of the initial random number, so there is no possibility of synchronization. The hit determination random number update process (S15) described above may also be executed in the remaining process.

  The pachinko machine in the present embodiment is configured as a probability variable machine. More specifically, games by the pachinko machine of the present embodiment are roughly divided into games that close the grand prize opening 33a and jackpot games that open the big prize opening 33a. In general, there are a normal probability state (hereinafter referred to as a normal state) and a high probability state (hereinafter referred to as a probability variation state) that is more advantageous to the player than the normal state. In the probability variation state, compared to the normal state, the variation time of the normal symbol is shortened, and further, the opening time of the blade member of the ordinary electric accessory 40 becomes longer, and the probability of transition to the jackpot game by the winning / failing lottery is increased. Since it becomes high, it is a game state advantageous for the player.

  The first special symbol and the second special symbol are composed of a probability variation symbol and a non-probability variation symbol, and the probability variation state is set to be transitionable after the jackpot game is finished in the probability variation symbol, and the normal state and the probability variation state In any of the gaming states, if a big hit is made with the probability variation symbol, the game proceeds to the probability fluctuation state after the big hit game is over.

  The main controller 50 changes the special symbol based on the probability variation random number as various random numbers acquired when the game ball enters the first start port 31 and the second start port 32, the random number, etc. Determine the pattern. The variation pattern is selected from a predetermined table containing information on multiple variation patterns. When the variation of the special symbol is started in the normal state, the variation pattern is selected from the table dedicated to the normal state and special in the probability variation state. When starting the variation of the symbol, the variation pattern is selected from the table dedicated to the probability variation state. Each of the special symbols variably displayed by a plurality of types of variation patterns is variably displayed with different variation times and variations. Then, a variation pattern designation command is transmitted from the main control device 50 to the sub integration device 53 based on the determined variation pattern. Probability random numbers are used to determine whether or not to enter a probability fluctuation state after the jackpot is over. If so, the jackpot symbol of the special symbol is determined as the probability variation symbol.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the hold storage process performed by the main controller 50 will be described. The holding storage process is a random number such as a pass / fail random number acquired when a game ball enters the first start port 31 and the second start port 32 or when the game ball passes through the normal symbol operation gate 42. Is stored in the main control device 50 as reserved storage. Thereafter, the holding memory stored when the game ball enters the first starting port 31 is the first holding memory, and the holding memory stored when the game ball enters the second starting port 32 is the second holding. The reserved memory stored when the game ball passes through the memory and normal symbol start gate 42 is referred to as a third reserved memory. Note that the number of reserved memories stored in the first to third reserved memories stored in the main controller 50 is the first special symbol reserved number display device 29a, the second special symbol reserved number display device 30a shown in FIG. The player can recognize the normal symbol holding number display device 41a by lighting. In this embodiment, the maximum number of each lighting number by the normal symbol hold number display device 41a, the first special symbol hold number display device 29a, and the second special symbol hold number display device 30a is four. Further, even if the number stored in each of the first to third reserved memories is 0, when a game ball enters the first start port 31 and the second start port 32, or the normal symbol operation gate 42 Various random numbers such as a pass / fail random number acquired when the game ball passes through are stored in the main controller 50 as in the case where there is a stored number less than the maximum value.

  Note that the second special symbol is read out of the stored storage stored in the main control device 50 every time it starts to change, but the stored content is stored even after the determination of the validity (determined change determination in the second embodiment described later). . If the result is wrong, it is read again after the determination process, and the reserved storage is erased from the storage area of the main controller 50. In addition, the storage area is shifted when there is another memory along with the erasure. If the result is successful, the first hold memory is lost or the first special symbol variation is stored and held until a predetermined number of times, then read again and the hold memory is erased from the storage area of the main controller 50 and stored. The area migrates. The first special symbol and the normal symbol are read out of the stored storage stored in the main controller 50 each time the change starts, and at that time, the reserved storage is erased from the storage area of the main controller 50 and the storage area is shifted. Is done.

  When the on-hold storage process is started, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the first start port 31 (S30). If the determination is affirmative (S30: YES), it is determined whether or not the first reserved storage number stored in the main controller 50 is less than the maximum value (= 4) (S31). If it is affirmative determination (S31: YES), various random numbers, such as a pass / fail random number, will be extracted (S32), and the various random numbers extracted will be stored in the main control apparatus 50 as 1st pending storage (S33).

  When a negative determination is made in S30 and S31 (S30: NO, S31: NO) or the processing of S33 is completed, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the second start port 32 (S34). If it is affirmation determination (S34: YES), it will be determined whether the 2nd pending | holding memory | storage number stored in the main controller 50 is less than the maximum value (= 4 pieces) (S35). If an affirmative determination is made in S35 (S35: YES), various random numbers such as acceptance / rejection random numbers are extracted (S36), and the extracted various random numbers are stored in the main controller 50 as second reserved storage (S37).

  When a negative determination is made in S34 and S35 (S34: NO, S35: NO), or the processing of S37 is completed, it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the normal symbol operating gate 42 (S38). If the determination is affirmative (S38: YES), it is determined whether or not the third reserved storage number stored in the main controller 50 is less than the maximum value (= 4) (S39). If it is affirmative determination (S39: YES), various random numbers, such as a pass / fail random number, will be extracted (S40), and the various random numbers extracted will be stored in the main control apparatus 50 as 3rd hold | maintenance memory (S41). When a negative determination is made in S38 and S39 (S38: NO, S39: NO), or the processing of S41 is completed, the process returns.

  Next, the special symbol variation process 1 performed by the main controller 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5, 6, 7, and 8. The first special symbol and the second special symbol of the pachinko machine of the present application are the first start port 31 and the second start during the normal game (the state in which the priority control of the special symbol change under specific conditions is not activated). If there is a hold memory in the second hold memory regardless of the winning order to the mouth 32, it is a specification in which the second special symbol is preferentially changed. If the random number is determined to be a win, the second special symbol that becomes a big win is not immediately changed (the read random numbers are not erased after the determination and are held in the original storage area), and the first reserved memory If there is a reserved memory, the first special symbol is preferentially changed and the second special symbol is stored after the first special symbol is lost or the first special symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times. The symbol variation which becomes the big hit of is executed.

  A part of the special symbol variation processing 1 shown in FIG. 5 is a symbol related to the determination result when the determination result of the random number of the second reserved memory read out by the main controller 50 during the normal state is a hit determination. The variation process is interrupted, and the variation process of the first special symbol is prioritized.

  When the special symbol variation process 1 is started, it is determined whether or not the first special symbol has stopped varying display (S50). If it is affirmation determination (S50: YES), it will be determined whether the 2nd special symbol has stopped the variable display (S51). If S51 is affirmative (S51: YES), it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 0 (S52). The probability variation flag is a value stored in the main controller 50. When the probability variation flag is 0, the big hit probability is in a normal state. When the probability variation flag is 1, the probability variation state This is a value for the main controller 50 to determine that If S52 is affirmative (S52: YES), it is determined whether the second per-hold flag is 0 (S53). The second reserved hit flag is a value stored in the main controller 50. When the second reserved hit flag is 1, the second special symbol that changes next time is a big hit (the second hold stored hit determination is The second special symbol that has been reserved is interrupted), the second special symbol that changes the next time is lost when the second per-holding flag is 0. It is a value for the main control device 50 to determine that it is not). If S53 is affirmative (S53: YES), it is determined whether or not the second reserved memory is stored (S54). If it is affirmation determination (S54: YES), the process which reads 2nd pending storage will be performed (S55). Here, when there are a plurality of second reserved memories, the second reserved memory is read out from the reserved memory that has been stored for the most time. In S55, the second reserved memory is read, but at this point, as described above, the memory erasure and the shift process accompanying the reading are not performed.

  When the process of S55 is completed, it is determined whether or not the read / write random number in the second reserved storage matches the determination value in the determination table 1 (S56). If the determination is affirmative (S56: YES), the value of the second per-hold flag is set to 1 (S57). If the process of S57 is completed or if S53 and S54 are negative (S53: NO, S54: NO), the process proceeds to S60 of FIG.

  If S50 and S51 of FIG. 5 are negative determination (S50: NO, S51: NO), it will return to a return. If S52 is negative (S52: NO), a special symbol variation process at the probability variation is performed as a probability variation variation process. The difference between this variation process at the time of probability variation and the special symbol variation process at the normal state is only the variation pattern selection process described later. In the variation process at the time of probability variation, the variation pattern is selected from the table dedicated to the probability variation state. Is done. Accordingly, since the other parts have the same contents, a detailed description of the variation process at the time of probability variation is omitted. Moreover, if S56 is negative determination (S56: NO), it will progress to S90 of FIG.

  Next, FIG. 6 will be described. The process showing a part of the special symbol variation process 1 in FIG. 6 is mainly performed by a processing unit derived from whether or not the first reserved memory is stored, and when the second reserved flag is set to 1 (S53: NO) ), Or when the second hold memory is not stored (S54: NO), or the processing is started immediately after the second hold flag is set to 1.

  In the process of FIG. 6, it is determined whether or not the first reserved memory is stored (S60). If S60 is affirmative (S60: YES), it is determined whether 1 is set for the value of the second per-hold flag (S61). If S61 is affirmative (S61: YES), an increment process is performed to add 1 to the value of the number of shifts of the first hold storage stored in the main controller 50 (S62). Next, it is determined whether or not the number of shifts of the first reserved memory is less than a predetermined number (S63). If the determination is affirmative (S63: YES), the second hold variation process is interrupted (S64).

  The number of shifts is a value for measuring how many times the first special symbol has changed since the second reserved memory has secured the hit determination, and is a so-called limiter function. When this value reaches the predetermined number of times, the big hit secured in the second reserved memory is released. In the pachinko machine of the present application, the predetermined value is 10 times, but is not limited to this value. The limiter function prevents the first special symbol from being preferentially changed as long as the first reserved memory is not interrupted, and allows the player to perform a limited number of changes (in this example, 10 times). By concentrating the expectation, it is easy to maintain the expectation, and it is possible to demonstrate a clear gameplay.

  The second hold fluctuation interruption process of S64 does not shift the storage position associated with reading of various random numbers in the second hold memory, and other (when there is a second hold memory other than the hit determination) and the second hold memory This is a process for holding the stored contents and the storage position. In addition, the second special symbol hold number display device 30a representing the number of second hold memories does not move the lighting location (decrease the number of lights) in accordance therewith. However, when the value of the second per-holding flag is set from 0 to 1, the fact that the big hit is secured in the second on-hold memory for the player (the big hit determination in the second special symbol) This is implemented as a pending storage jackpot confirmation notification. In the notification, the second special symbol reservation number display device 30a changes the lighting corresponding to the number of storages in the second reservation storage to blink. Further, a mode representing the big hit securing is displayed on the effect symbol display device 54b, and various LEDs, blinking of the lamp 37 and the sound effect from the speaker 10 are changed to a unique pattern for securing the big hit. The notification content is not limited to these, and the notification period may be a predetermined period or a period in which the value of the second per-hold flag is set to 1.

  After the process of S64 or if a negative determination is made in S61 (S61: NO), the first hold memory is read and the shift process of the hold memory is performed (S65). In the case where there are a plurality of first hold memories, the first hold memory is read from the hold memory that has passed the most time since being stored. In S66, it is determined whether or not the success / failure random number in the first reserved storage read in S65 matches the success / failure determination value in the determination table 1 (S66). If the determination is affirmative (S66: YES), the process proceeds to S70 in FIG. 8, and if the determination is negative (S66: NO), the process proceeds to S77 in FIG.

  If S60 is negative (S60: NO), it is determined whether 1 is set for the value of the second per-hold flag (S67). If the determination is affirmative (S67: YES), or if negative determination is made in S63 (S63: NO), the second held memory that has been stored and held is read and the other held memory is stored. Then, a shift process for moving the storage position forward is performed (S68). Next, the value of the first reserved storage shift number is set to 0 (S69). By this process, when the value of the second per-hold flag is set to 1, the number of readings of the first hold memory counted after the second per-hold flag is set is reset. After the process of S69, the process proceeds to S81 in FIG. If S67 is negative (S67: NO), the process returns.

  Next, FIG. 7 will be described. The processing showing a part of the special symbol variation process 1 shown in FIG. 7 is mainly performed by the processing unit related to the variation pattern selection of the second special symbol based on the determination result of the second reserved memory.

  The processing from S69 onward after S69 in FIG. 6 is the variation processing related to the jackpot of the second special symbol stocked according to the determination result of the second reserved storage.

  In S81, it is determined whether or not the probability variation random number stored in the second reserved memory matches the probability variation table (S81). If the determination is affirmative (S81: YES), it is determined that it is a jackpot symbol of the probability variation symbol, and the type of the probability variation symbol of the second special symbol that is finally displayed is selected (S82). If S81 is negative (S81: NO), it is determined that the jackpot symbol is a non-stochastic variation symbol, and the type of non-stochastic variation symbol for which the second special symbol is finally displayed is selected (S84). ). After the processes of S82 and S84, a process of selecting a variation pattern for winning from the table dedicated to the normal state is performed (S83).

  In S90 following S56 negative determination (S56: NO) in FIG. 5, the second hold storage shift processing is performed (S90). In the present embodiment, as described above, the reading process of the second reserved memory and the shift process of the storage area accompanying the reading are performed across the read / failed random number determination process (the determination result of the correct / failed random number is hit). In this case, the stored contents of various random numbers are held in the read area, and other processing is executed until the condition for stock cancellation is satisfied in that state). After the process of S90, the type of the outlier symbol of the second special symbol that is finally displayed as the outlier display is selected (S91). Next, processing for selecting a variation pattern for detachment from the table dedicated to the normal state is performed (S92). Subsequent to S83 and S92, a process for controlling display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display device 30 is performed based on the variation pattern determined by the above process and the type of the fixed symbol (S85). Subsequent to S85, processing for transmitting a variation pattern designation command to the sub-integrating device 53 is performed (S86). Subsequently, 0 is set to the value of the second per-hold flag (S87), and the process returns.

  FIG. 8 will be described. The processing showing a part of the special symbol variation processing 1 in FIG. 8 is mainly performed by the processing unit related to the variation pattern selection of the first special symbol based on the determination result of the first reserved memory.

  In S70 following S66 affirmative determination (S66: YES) in FIG. 6, it is determined whether or not the probability variation random number in the first reserved memory matches the probability variation table (S70). If the determination is affirmative (S70: YES), it is determined that it is a jackpot symbol of the probability variation symbol, and the type of the probability variation symbol of the first special symbol that is finally displayed is selected (S71). If S70 is negative (S70: NO), it is determined that the jackpot symbol is a non-stochastic variation symbol, and the type of non-stochastic variation symbol in which the first special symbol is finally displayed is selected (S73). ). After the processes of S71 and S73, a process of selecting a variation pattern for winning from a table dedicated to the normal state is performed (S72).

  In S77 following S66 negative determination (S66: NO) in FIG. 6, the type of the first special symbol out of the first special symbol that is finally displayed is selected (S77). Next, processing for selecting a variation pattern for detachment from the table dedicated to the normal state is performed (S78). Subsequent to S72 and S78, a process for controlling the display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display device 29 is performed on the basis of the variation pattern determined by the above process and the type of the fixed symbol (S74). Subsequent to S74, processing for transmitting a variation pattern designation command to the sub-integrating device 53 is performed (S75). Next, the number of shifts of the first hold memory that is counted when the second hold-per-hold flag is set to 1 is reset (S76), and the process returns to the return.

  The above is the first embodiment. By executing this special symbol variation processing 1, the second special symbol is preferentially varied regardless of the winning order in the normal state (the state in which there is no pending memory that has been judged in the second reserved memory). If the stored value is determined to be a win, the symbol variation display for the reserved memory for which the hit determination has been received is not performed immediately, and the first special symbol is stored in a reserved state with the big hit of the second special symbol being stocked ( Priority is given to digestion of the first reserved memory. The period when priority is given to digesting the reserved memory of the first special symbol (the first reserved memory) is more than one time for the player (if the secured jackpot is a probable change, that two jackpots have been stocked) The game period is in a state where a big hit is secured, and in the gaming machine having a plurality of special symbols, the first special symbol and the second special symbol, the expectation of the big hit is amplified in proportion to the number of the special symbols. It will be the game period that you let.

  Next, the special symbol variation process 2 performed by the main controller 50 will be described as a second embodiment with reference to FIGS. 6, 8, 9, and 10. In this embodiment, all parts constituting the pachinko machine and their electrical connections are the same as those in the first embodiment. Therefore, the description of the part which overlaps with Example 1 is omitted.

  Also in the present embodiment, during the normal game (a state in which the priority control of special symbol variation under specific conditions is not activated), the second special symbol is preferentially varied as in the first embodiment. If the success / failure random number acquired due to the winning at the second start port 32 is determined to be a win, and the probability variation random number is equal to the probability variation determination table value, the variation of the second special symbol that is a big success is not immediately implemented. (The read various random numbers are not erased even after the determination and are held in the original storage area). If there is a reserved memory in the first reserved memory, the first special symbol is preferentially changed, and the first special symbol is stored. Or after the first special symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times, the symbol variation which is a big hit of the second special symbol stored and held is executed.

  A part of the special symbol variation processing 2 shown in FIG. 9 is the second reserved memory when the determination result of the success / failure random number of the second reserved memory read out by the main controller 50 during the normal state is a hit determination and the probability change. Is a processing unit that interrupts the process and prioritizes the variation process of the first special symbol.

  When the special symbol variation process 2 is started, it is determined whether or not the first special symbol has stopped varying display (S101). If it is affirmation determination (S101: YES), it will be determined whether the 2nd special symbol has stopped the variable display (S102). If S102 is affirmative (S102: YES), it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 0 (S103). Since the probability variation flag has the same contents as in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted. If S103 is affirmative (S103: YES), it is determined whether or not the second per-holding flag is 0 (S104). The second per-hold flag is the same as that in the first embodiment, and therefore the description is omitted. If S104 is affirmative (S104: YES), it is determined whether or not the second reserved memory is stored (S105). If it is affirmation determination (S105: YES), the process which reads 2nd holding | maintenance memory will be performed (S106). Here, when there are a plurality of second reserved memories, the second reserved memory is read out from the reserved memory that has been stored for the most time. In S106, the second reserved storage is read out, but at this point, as in the first embodiment, the erasure and shift processing associated with the reading are not performed.

  When the processing of S106 is completed, it is determined whether or not the read / write random number of the second reserved storage matches the determination value of the determination table 1 (S107). If the determination is affirmative (S107: YES), it is determined whether or not the probability variation random number stored in the second reserved memory matches the probability variation table (S108). If the determination is affirmative (S108: YES), the value of the second per-hold flag is set to 1 (S109). If the process of S109 is completed or if S104 and S105 are negative (S104: NO, S105: NO), the process proceeds to S60 of FIG.

  If S101 and S102 of FIG. 9 are negative determination (S101: NO, S102: NO), it will return to a return. If S103 is negative (S103: NO), a special symbol variation process at the time of probability variation is performed as a probability variation variation process. Description of the variation processing at the time of probability change is omitted for the same reason as in the first embodiment. If S107 is negative (S107: NO), the process proceeds to S120 in FIG. 10, and if S108 is negative (S108: NO), the process proceeds to S113 in FIG.

  Some processing units of the special symbol variation process 2 following the process of S109 or following the negative determinations of S104 and S105 (S104: NO, S105: NO) have the same contents as those in FIG. 6 described in the first embodiment. . Therefore, although the description is omitted, in the special symbol variation process 2, the process proceeds from S69 in FIG. 6 to S111 in FIG.

  Next, FIG. 10 will be described. The processing showing a part of the special symbol variation process 2 shown in FIG. 10 is mainly performed by the processing unit related to the variation pattern selection of the second special symbol based on the result of the determination of whether or not the second reserved memory is correct and the probability variation determination.

  The processing subsequent to S69 in FIG. 6 is a variation processing related to the big hit of the stocked second special symbol based on the determination result (probability big hit) of the random number read from the second reserved storage. In S111, the type of probability variation symbol of the second special symbol that is finally displayed is selected (S111). In S113 following S108 negative determination (S108: NO) in FIG. 9, the type of the non-probability variation symbol that finally displays the second special symbol is selected (S113). After the processing of S111 and S113, processing for selecting a variation pattern for winning is performed from a table dedicated to the normal state (S112).

  In S120 following the S107 negative determination (S107: NO) in FIG. 9, the second hold storage shift process is performed (S120). In the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the reading process of the second reserved memory and the shift process of the storage area accompanying the reading are performed across the read / fail random number determination process (the determination of the pass / fail random number is a hit). In addition, when the probability random number is determined to be certain, the stored contents of various random numbers are held in the read area, and other processing is executed until the condition for stock cancellation is satisfied in that state). After the process of S120, the type of the second special symbol out of the second special symbol that is finally displayed as a display error is selected (S121). Next, a process of selecting a deviation variation pattern from the table dedicated to the normal state is performed (S122). Subsequent to S112 and S122, a process for controlling the display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display device 30 is performed on the basis of the variation pattern determined by the above process and the type of the fixed symbol (S114). Subsequent to S114, processing for transmitting a variation pattern designation command to the sub-integrating device 53 is performed (S115). Subsequently, the value of the second per-hold flag is set to 0 (S116), and the process returns to the return.

  Next, the process showing a part of the special symbol variation process 2 subsequent to S66 of FIG. 6 is mainly based on the first special symbol variation pattern selection processing unit based on the result of the determination of the first reserved memory. Since the contents are the same as those in the first embodiment (FIG. 8), the description is omitted.

  The above is the second embodiment. By executing the special symbol variation processing 2, the second special symbol is preferentially varied regardless of the winning order in the normal state (the state in which there is no reserved memory that has been judged in the second reserved memory). If it is determined that the stored value is a win and the probability is changed, the symbol variation display for the stored memory that has received the determination is not immediately performed, and the probability of the first special symbol is stored in the state where the probability change big hit of the second special symbol is stocked. Prioritize digestion of the reserved memory (first reserved memory). During the period when priority is given to digesting the reserved memory (first reserved memory) of the first special symbol, the current mainstream pachinko gaming machine that continues the probability fluctuation state until the next big hit is more than twice for the player. The game period is a state where the big hit is secured, and in the gaming machine having a plurality of special symbols such as the first special symbol and the second special symbol, the expectation of the big hit is amplified in proportion to the number of the special symbols. This is a game period that guarantees a game state advantageous to the player, such as probability variation.

  In the probability fluctuation state of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, when it is determined that the winning random number is determined in S56 of FIG. 5 of the first embodiment and S107 of FIG. However, there is a case in which a hit determination is obtained even during normal times or a value in which a hit determination is acquired only in a probability variation state. Whether or not the priority variation of the first special symbol is performed may be changed depending on the difference in value. Each specific effect is that, when priority fluctuation is performed only for the hit random number value that is common to normal times, the big hit (time-effectively without the fluctuation of the first special symbol, which is likely to shift between hit fluctuations) (Including jackpot variation). Even if a random number value that receives a hit determination only when the probability variation state is obtained, if priority variation of the first special symbol is performed, if the first special symbol becomes a big hit with a non-stochastic variation symbol, the probability of the secured second special symbol Although the hit only in the fluctuating state disappears (it does not disappear in the case of a common random number as in the normal state), the priority change of the first special symbol is a game that is expected to expect more consecutive resorts. The effect of scolding the person will be demonstrated.

  Next, referring to FIGS. 7, 8, 11, 12, and 13 as the third embodiment, the hold storage process 2 and the special symbol variation process 3 performed by the main control device 50 will be described. In this embodiment, all the parts constituting the pachinko machine and their electrical connections are the same as those in the first and second embodiments. Therefore, the description of the overlapping part is omitted.

  In the present embodiment, the priority order of the change order of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is a prize until the success / failure random number obtained by entering the second starting port 32 receives a win determination as in the other embodiments. Regardless of the order, the second special symbol fluctuates with priority, and the first special symbol fluctuates with priority by receiving a hit determination. The priority change of the first special symbol is canceled when the first reserved memory is lost or the first special symbol is changed a predetermined number of times. In addition, when the value of the second hold-per-hold flag is set from 0 to 1, the second hold storage jackpot confirmation notification similar to the first and second embodiments is performed.

  The present embodiment is greatly different from the first embodiment and the second embodiment in the determination timing of the success / failure random numbers acquired at the time of entering or passing through the first start port 31, the second start port 32, and the normal symbol operation gate 42. . In the present embodiment, as shown in the hold storage process 2 in FIG. 11, when the random numbers acquired at the time of entering or passing are stored in the main control device 50 as the hold storage, a determination process of the success / failure random number is performed as a pre-process. It is a configuration to implement.

  As with the hold storage process described in the first embodiment, the hold storage process 2 is performed when a game ball enters the first start port 31 and the second start port 32, or the game ball passes through the normal symbol operation gate 42. This is a process of storing various random numbers such as a pass / fail random number acquired at the time of storage in the main controller 50 as a reserved storage. In addition, the acquired random number is subjected to a pass / fail random number determination process before being stored. In addition, the number of reserved memories by entering or passing the first starting port 31, the second starting port 32, and the normal symbol operating gate 42 is a maximum of four, and the player uses the same device as described in the first embodiment. Can recognize the stored number of each. Further, even if the number stored in each of the first to third reserved memories is 0, when a game ball enters the first start port 31 and the second start port 32, or the normal symbol operation gate 42 Various random numbers such as a pass / fail random number acquired when the game ball passes through are stored in the main controller 50 as in the case where there is a stored number less than the maximum value. The first special symbol, the second special symbol, and the normal symbol are read out of the stored storage stored in the main control device 50 every time the change starts, and the reserved storage is stored in the storage area of the main control device 50 at that time. And the storage area is shifted.

  The hold storage process 2 performed by the main controller 50 will be described with reference to FIG. When the hold storage process 2 is started, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the first start port 31 (S160). If the determination is affirmative (S160: YES), it is determined whether or not the first reserved storage number stored in the main controller 50 is less than the maximum value (= 4) (S161). If the determination is affirmative (S161: YES), various random numbers such as success / failure random numbers are extracted (S162), and the extracted determination of the random numbers is performed (S163). The data is stored in the control device 50 (S164).

  When a negative determination is made in S160 and S161 (S160: NO, S161: NO), or the processing of S164 is completed, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the second start port 32 (S165). If the determination is affirmative (S165: YES), it is determined whether or not the second reserved storage number stored in the main controller 50 is less than the maximum value (= 4) (S166). If an affirmative determination is made in S166 (S166: YES), various random numbers such as a success / failure random number are extracted (S167), and it is determined whether or not the success / failure random number matches the determination result in the determination table 1 (S168). If the determination is affirmative (S168: YES), it is determined whether the second per-holding flag is 0 (S169). If the determination is affirmative (S169: YES), the value of the second per-hold flag is set to 1 (S170). When a negative determination is made in S168 and S169 (S168: NO, S169: NO), or the processing of S170 is completed, various random numbers including the success / failure random numbers extracted in S167 are stored in the main controller 50 as the second reserved memory ( S171).

  In S165 and S166, a negative determination is made (S165: NO, S166: NO), or when the processing of S171 is completed, it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the normal symbol operating gate 42 (S172). If the determination is affirmative (S172: YES), it is determined whether or not the third reserved storage number stored in the main controller 50 is less than the maximum value (= 4) (S173). If the determination is affirmative (S173: YES), various random numbers such as success / failure random numbers are extracted (S174), and the extracted determination of the random numbers is performed (S175). The data is stored in the control device 50 (S176). When a negative determination is made in S172 and S173 (S172: NO, S173: NO), or the processing of S176 is completed, the process returns.

  Next, the special symbol variation process 3 performed by the main controller 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7, 8, 12, and 13. Part of the special symbol variation process 3 shown in FIG. 12 is based on the set value of the second per-hold flag processed in the hold storage processing 2 and the priority of the variation order of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. This process mainly includes the part that controls the order.

  As shown in FIG. 12, when the special symbol variation process 3 is started, it is determined whether or not the first special symbol has stopped the variation display (S130). If it is affirmation determination (S130: YES), it will be determined whether the 2nd special symbol has stopped the variable display (S131). If S131 is affirmative (S131: YES), it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 0 (S132). If S132 is affirmative (S132: YES), it is determined whether or not the second per-holding flag is 0 (S133). If S133 is affirmative (S133: YES), it is determined whether the second reserved memory is stored (S134). If it is affirmation determination (S134: YES), it will progress to S148 of FIG.

  If S130 and S131 are negative (S130: NO, S131: NO), the process returns. If S132 is a negative determination (S132: NO), the process proceeds to the variation process at the time of probability change. If S133 and S134 are negative (S133: NO, S134: NO), the process proceeds to S140 in FIG.

  Next, FIG. 13 will be described. Part of the special symbol variation process 3 shown in FIG. 13 is derived from the presence or absence of the first reserved memory, and the second special symbol is performed again in the same manner as the processing up to the determination of whether or not the first special symbol is performed again. The processing section is mainly used until the determination of whether or not.

  In S140, it is determined whether or not the first reserved memory is stored (S140). If S140 is affirmative (S140: YES), it is determined whether 1 is set for the value of the second per-hold flag (S141). If S141 is affirmative (S141: YES), an increment process is performed to add 1 to the value of the number of shifts of the first reserved storage stored in the main controller 50 (S142). Next, it is determined whether or not the number of shifts of the first reserved memory is less than a predetermined number (S143). If an affirmative determination is made in S143 (S143: YES), or a negative determination is made in S141 (S141: NO), the oldest first reserved memory is read as a determination target, and the storage area erased along with the read is used. The storage positions of other reserved memories are sequentially shifted (S144). Next, it is determined whether or not the read random number matches the determination value in the determination table 1 (S145). If the determination is affirmative (S145: YES), the process proceeds to S70 of FIG. 8, and if the determination is negative (S145: NO), the process proceeds to S77 of FIG.

  If a negative determination is made in S140 (S140: NO), it is determined whether or not the second per-holding flag is 1 (S146). If S146 is affirmative (S146: YES), S143 is negative (S143: NO), or affirmative (S134: YES) in S134 of FIG. 12, the oldest second reserved memory is determined as the object of determination. Using the storage area that has been read and erased along with the reading, the storage positions of the other reserved storages are sequentially shifted (S147), and it is determined whether or not the read / fail random number matches the determination result of the determination table 1. (S148). If the determination is affirmative (S148: YES), the value of the number of shifts is set to 0 and the number of readings of the first reserved memory is reset (S149). After the process of S149, the process proceeds to S81 in FIG. If a negative determination is made in S146 (S146: NO), the process returns to the return. If S148 is negative (S148: NO), the process proceeds to S90 in FIG.

  The processing subsequent to S145 is omitted because it is the same as that described in the first embodiment with reference to FIG. Similarly, the processing following S149 and the processing following S148 negative determination (S148: NO) are the same as those described with reference to FIG.

  The above is an explanation of the reserved storage process 2 and the special symbol variation process 3 according to the third embodiment. In the first and second embodiments, the priority storage control of the first special symbol is activated (the value of the second reservation-per-hold flag is However, in the present embodiment, the priority variation control of the first special symbol is activated immediately after various random number acquisition processes by entering a game ball into the second start port 32, that is, Almost at the time of entry. Therefore, in the third embodiment, even if the priority fluctuation of the first special symbol is executed, the second holding memory stores the holding memory that is older than the holding memory that becomes the big hit (the holding memory that changes before the big hit fluctuation). There may be.

  When the priority variation of the first special symbol is canceled, the first second special symbol variation becomes a big hit in the first and second embodiments, but in the third embodiment, the reserved memory older than the second reserved memory that becomes the big hit is obtained. In some cases, after a change in the old reserved memory (a change that becomes outlier) is digested, a change that becomes a big hit is performed. For a player who has received the jackpot confirmation notification and has recognized the jackpot confirmation of the second special symbol, after the priority change has changed to the second special symbol, the period during which the second special symbol breaks out is expected and This is a period in which emotions for games with a sense of anxiety are strongly stimulated.

  When a random number value that is a big hit is obtained by entering the second start port 32 and there is a second reserved memory that is already stored, the second reserved memory that is a big hit is shifted to the forefront of the storage area In this case, the first special symbol may be preferentially changed.

  Even in the case of the probability fluctuation state of the third embodiment, when it is determined that the winning random number is determined to be a win in S168 in FIG. Or a value for obtaining a hit determination only when the probability fluctuation state exists. Whether or not the priority variation of the first special symbol is performed may be changed depending on the difference in value. Each specific effect is that, when priority fluctuation is performed only for the hit random number value that is common to normal times, the big hit (time-effectively without the fluctuation of the first special symbol, which is likely to shift between hit fluctuations) (Including jackpot variation). Even if a random number value that receives a hit determination only when the probability variation state is obtained, if priority variation of the first special symbol is performed, if the first special symbol becomes a big hit with a non-stochastic variation symbol, the probability of the secured second special symbol Although the hit only in the fluctuating state disappears (it does not disappear in the case of a common random number as in the normal state), the priority change of the first special symbol is a game that is expected to expect more consecutive resorts. The effect of scolding the person will be demonstrated.
