  In addition, a normal start gate 4 is provided in the game area 1a, and when the game ball passes the general start gate 4, a normal variation display game is executed. Further, in the game area 1a, there are provided a first start winning opening 13 forming a first start winning area and a normal variable winning apparatus 7 forming a second start winning area. When the game ball wins the first start winning opening 13, the first special figure variation display game is executed as an auxiliary game, and when the game ball wins the normal variation winning device 7, the second game is played as an auxiliary game. A special figure variation display game is executed.

  A gate SW4a (shown in FIG. 3) for detecting a game ball that has passed through the general start gate 4 is provided in the general start gate 4. Then, when the game ball that has been driven into the game area 1a passes through the normal diagram start gate 4, a normal variation display game is performed. In addition, the normal variation display game cannot be started, for example, the normal variation display game has already been played and the normal variation display game has not been completed, When 7 is converted to the open state and the game ball passes through the general figure starting gate 4, if the number of the general figure starting memory number is less than the upper limit, the normal figure starting memory number is incremented by one and the normal figure starting is started. One memory is stored. The start memory of the normal map display game is displayed on the general memory display 15 (the first general memory display 15a and the second general memory display 15b) having LEDs. .

  The general-purpose (ordinary symbol) variation display game is executed by the general-purpose display 5 constituting a state display 17 described later. In addition, you may make it display a common figure change display game in a part of display area of the display apparatus 43. In this case, for example, a number, a symbol, a character design etc. are used as an identification symbol, and this is changed for a predetermined time. After being displayed, it is performed by stopping display. If the stop display of the usual figure change display game becomes a special result mode, the opening and closing members 7a and 7a of the normal change winning device 7 are opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds). The Thereby, it becomes easy to win a game ball in the normal variation winning device 7, and it is easy to start the second special figure variation display game.

  A first special figure start opening SW13d (shown in FIG. 3) is provided inside the first start winning opening 13, and based on the detection of the game ball by the first special figure start opening SW13d, the first special figure start opening SW13d is provided.

In the closed state, i.e., the game ball is difficult to win (a disadvantageous state for the player), but the result of the usual variable display game is in a predetermined stop display mode. The solenoid (general power SOL 7b, shown in FIG. 3) is changed to an easy-to-win state (a state advantageous to the player) where the game ball can easily flow into the normal variation winning device 7 by opening in a reverse “C” shape. It is supposed to be.

  The first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game as the auxiliary game are executed by the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 constituting the state display 17 described later. After a plurality of identification information is 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.

  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 normal fluctuation winning device 7 When the game ball wins, the second start memory is stored as the start right is generated, the second start memory number is incremented by 1, and the second special figure change is immediately made based on the second start memory. The 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.

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

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

That is, the winning of the game ball detected by the CPU 31a is stored in the RAM 31c as the start winning.

  A game control program and control data are written in the ROM 31b of the game one-chip microcomputer 31, and the occurrence of a big hit in each special figure variation display game is determined in accordance with the various random numbers described above. For this purpose, a jackpot determination value, a variation pattern (first half variation pattern, second half variation pattern), a reach pattern (reach action type) determination value, etc. are stored. Specifically, for example, in the ROM 31b, the latter half fluctuation pattern table corresponding to the game result ("big hit" or "out of game") of the special figure fluctuation display game, and the game result ("big hit" or The first half variation pattern table corresponding to the “loss”) is stored, and one second half variation pattern of the second half variation pattern table and one first variation pattern of the first half variation pattern table A variation time command table related to variation time commands (production prior determination command, variation pattern command, etc.) configured by the combination is stored.

  Of the variation patterns, the first half variation pattern is, for example, the left symbol region and the right symbol in one special symbol variation display game performed in each of the variation symbol display region of the left symbol region, the right symbol region, and the middle symbol region. This means the variation display mode until the symbols in the variation display area stop at the same symbol.The latter half variation pattern is the variation display mode after the symbols in the left symbol region and the right symbol region stop at the same symbol. That means. That is, the fluctuation display area of the left symbol area and the right symbol area stops at the same symbol, and the fluctuation display mode until the state where the middle symbol area is still fluctuating (reach state) is assumed to be the first half fluctuation pattern, the reach state The variation display mode after the occurrence of the occurrence is the second half variation pattern. Of the fluctuation patterns, the fluctuation display mode of the first half fluctuation pattern and the second half fluctuation pattern is, for example, the first half fluctuation pattern until a reach state occurs and the middle symbol area that is fluctuating temporarily stops or low speed fluctuation starts. Further, the design may be changed as appropriate, such as changing the subsequent fluctuation display to the latter half fluctuation pattern.

  Further, the input interface 32 is connected to a first special figure starting port SW13d, a second special figure starting port SW7d, a winning port SW12a,... A gaming machine frame release SW 121, a ball break SW 122, and the like are connected. The input interface 32 relays various signals input from these and outputs them to the gaming one-chip microcomputer 31. The glass frame opening SW 146 is for detecting that the clear member holding frame is opened, and the gaming machine frame opening SW 121 is for detecting that the front frame is opened. The ball break SW 122 is provided on a chute that guides the game ball supplied from the island facility to the discharge device, and detects that there is no game ball in the chute.

  In addition, various control signals output from the gaming one-chip microcomputer 31 are input to the output interface 33. These control signals are relayed by the output interface 33, and through the output port and driver (not shown), the first special figure display 8, the first special figure storage display 18, the second special figure display 9, 2 special figure memory display 19, universal figure display 5, universal figure storage indicator 15, round number indicator 25, game status indicator 26, general electric power SOL7b, big prize opening SOL10b, management device outside the gaming machine, etc. It is output to the external terminal board 16 to be connected, the payout control device 125, and the effect control device 40.

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

  This effect control device 40 is based on various signals (effect control data (such as various commands)) received from the game control device 30 via the communication interface 40e (under the control of the game control device 30). Control is performed. The input / output interface 40f receives a detection signal from an effect button 41 (shown in FIG. 3) provided on the front surface of the gaming machine, and the effect control device 40 receives the detection signal. Based on the control (under the control of the game control device 30), the control of the game effect is performed. For example, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 21, an effect is displayed in which the effect button operation suggesting characters 451a and 451b that prompt (imply) the operation of the effect button 41 are displayed on the display unit 43a, and the game is performed in accordance with this effect. Depending on whether or not the player operates the effect button 41, the subsequent game effect is controlled. Details will be described later.

  In addition, various control signals output from the CPU 40a are input to the input / output interface 40f, and these control signals are relayed by the input / output interface 40f to move the rendering operation character through the output port and the driver. Is output to various LED boards 44 including decorative LEDs provided on the game board 1 and the clear member holding frame that covers the front of the game board 1 and the like. It is like that. Of the control signals output from the CPU 40a, a control signal related to image control is output from the CPU 40a to the VDP 40d, and image data based on the control signal is output from the VDP 40d to the display device 43. Further, a control signal related to the control of sound is output from the CPU 40a to the sound LSI 40i, and sound data based on the control signal is output from the sound LSI 40i to the speaker 45.

  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 displayed in a fluctuation for a predetermined time on the universal display 5 (the LED constituting the universal display 5 blinks), a process of displaying a universal fluctuation 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 (LEDs constituting the general map display 5 are lit), and the general power SOL 7b is operated to Control is performed to open the opening and closing members 7a, 7a of the variable winning device 7 as described above for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds). When the result of the normal map change display game is out of control, the general display display 5 is controlled to display the result form of the shift (the LED constituting the general display display 5 is turned off).

  Further, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the first special figure start opening SW13d provided in the first start winning opening 13, the random number value for determining the big hit of the first special figure variation display game is extracted to the RAM 31c. Processing to be stored as the first start memory is performed. That is, the game control device 30 constitutes a first winning storage means (start winning storage means) capable of storing the number of winning game balls in the first starting winning area (first starting winning opening 13). Similarly, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the second special figure starting port SW7d provided in the normal fluctuation winning device 7, a random number for determining the big hit of the second special figure variable display game is extracted to the RAM 31c. Processing to be stored as the second start memory is performed. That is, the game control device 30 forms a second winning storage means (start winning storage means) capable of storing the number of winning game balls in the second starting winning area (ordinary variable winning apparatus 7).

  In addition, when storing by the first start memory, the big hit determination random number value stored in the first start memory is compared with the determination value (win value) for the first special figure variation display game stored in the ROM 31b, A process of determining a missed hit of the first special figure variation display game is performed. Similarly, when storing by the second start memory, the big hit determination random number value stored in the second start memory is compared with the determination value (win value) for the second special figure variation display game stored in the ROM 31b. Then, a process of determining a miss of the second special figure variation display game is performed. As a result, the game control device 30 uses the game result information based on the random value of the jackpot random number stored in the jackpot random number storage means (game control device 30) before the start of the variable display game executed based on the random value. It functions as a game result pre-determination means.

  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 has first execution control means (game control device 30) and second control for performing execution control of the variable display game based on the start memory stored in the first winning storage means (game control device 30). It functions as second execution control means (game control device 30) for performing execution control of the variable display game based on the start-up memory stored in the winning storage means (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. In other words, the game control device 30 has the second execution control means (game control device) when the start-up memory is stored in the first prize storage means (game control device 30) and the second prize storage means (game control device 30). 30), priority execution control means (game control apparatus 30) for executing the control with priority over the control by the first execution control means (game control apparatus 30).

  Then, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, when the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, the special figure mode is displayed on the special figure display and a process for generating a special game state is performed. . In the process of generating the special game state, for example, the opening / closing door 10a of the special variable winning device 10 is opened by the special winning opening SOL10b, and control is performed so that the gaming ball can flow into the special winning opening. Then, a condition that either a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the grand prize opening or a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds or 6 seconds) elapses from the opening of the big prize opening is achieved. Opening the grand prize opening until one round is defined as one round, and control (cycle game) is continued (repeated) for a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 16 or 2 times). Thus, the pachinko gaming machine 100 functions as a gaming machine that generates a special gaming state that can give a predetermined gaming value to the player based on the result mode of the special figure variation display game. When the result of the special figure variation display game is out of order, the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 are controlled to display the result form of the deviation.

  Further, the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 executes a specific variation display game different from the special figure variation display game based on the establishment of the specific condition. Specifically, processing is performed to generate a specific gaming state (time-short operation state, probability variation state) in which the frequency with which the normal variation winning device 7 converts to the open state is higher than the normal state. Thereby, the game control device 30 generates a specific game state that facilitates winning of the game ball to the second start winning area rather than the first starting winning area based on the establishment of the predetermined condition (specific condition). It will function as specific game state generating means.

  It should be noted that the value of the second special figure variation display game is given to the player in the special game state or after the special game state ends, rather than the first special figure variation display game. The value given to this player is high because, for example, the distribution rate of the number of rounds in the special gaming state is advantageous for the player (the first special figure variable display game has an occurrence rate of 16R probability variation big hit: 40%, The 2R probability variation jackpot occurrence rate is 20%, and the 16R normal jackpot occurrence rate is 40%, whereas the second special figure fluctuation display game is the 16R probability variation jackpot occurrence rate: 55%, the 2R probability variation jackpot occurrence rate: 5%, 16R normal big hit occurrence rate: 40%). In addition to the fact that the number of rounds in the special gaming state is large (the number of prize balls that can be obtained by the player is large), the second special figure variation display game is more The probability of becoming higher may be increased. Further, the value in production may include a tendency to reach a reach state, a reach production that does not usually appear easily (a so-called super reach or a premier reach), and the like.

  In addition, the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 is input from sensors (first special figure starting port SW13d, second special figure starting port SW7d, winning port SW12a, count SW10c) provided at various winning ports. Based on the detected game ball detection signal, the payout motor of the payout control device 125 is controlled so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out.

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

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

  Specifically, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment, for example, when a game ball winning in the first start winning area occurs and the start memory is stored in the first winning storage means, or the second When a game ball wins in the start winning area and the start memory is stored in the second winning memory means, the start winning time determining means for determining the game result information corresponding to the start memory, and the specific game state When the specific game state is generated by the generation means, the game result related to the occurrence of the special game state from the game result information corresponding to the start memory stored in the first prize storage means or the second prize storage means A game result information search means for searching for information, so that the control by the second execution control means is executed in preference to the control by the first execution control means. And it is capable of informing the player of information relating to starting memories stored in 憶 means. Hereinafter, a process for notifying the player of information regarding such start-up memory will be described.

  First, 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 FIGS. 4 and 5, the main process includes a process at the start of the program, a process for returning to the state at the time of the power failure, a process of the main loop, and a process at the time of the power failure.

  In the main processing, first, processing at the start of the program is performed. The process at the start of the program is initially performed as an initial setting, in which an interrupt is prohibited (step S1) and an interrupt vector is set (step S2). Further, processing for setting the stack pointer (step S3) is performed, and processing for setting the interrupt mode (step S4) is performed. Thereafter, processing for permitting access to the RAM (RWM) 31c (step S5) is performed, and processing for turning off all output ports (step S6) is performed.

  Next, the backup clear switch is checked. The RAM 31c of the game control device 30 is backed up by the backup power source of the power supply device. If the backup clear switch is ON when the power is turned on, the RAM 31c is initialized. . As a check of the backup clear switch, it is determined whether or not the backup clear switch is ON (step S7).

  If the backup clear switch is not ON (step S7; No) in the determination of whether or not the backup clear switch is ON (step S7), the power failure recovery determination is performed. As a determination of the power failure recovery, first, a process of checking the power failure inspection area (step S8) is performed, and it is determined whether or not the power failure is recovered (step S9).

  In the power outage inspection area, as will be described later, when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 100 is cut off due to a power outage, power outage recovery inspection area check data is set (step S26). Inspection area check data is not stored. Therefore, by determining the presence or absence of this power failure recovery inspection area check data, it is possible to determine whether or not it is power failure recovery.

  In the determination of whether or not the power is restored (step S9), if the power is not restored (step S9; No), a process of clearing the RAM 31c to be used (step S14) is performed. In the determination of whether or not the power is restored (step S9), if the power is restored (step S9; Yes), it is determined whether or not the checksum is normal (step S10).

  In determining whether or not the checksum is normal (step S10), the backed up data in the RAM 31c and the check data are compared, and if both match, it is determined normal, and if they do not match, it is determined abnormal. Thereby, it is possible to determine whether the information stored in the RAM 31c is correctly backed up.

  In the determination of whether or not the checksum is normal (step S10), if the checksum is not normal (step S10; No), a process of clearing the RAM 31c to be used (step S14) is performed. Note that the case where the data in the RAM 31c and the check data do not match in this way includes, for example, the case where the data is destroyed due to an abnormal current or the like of a lightning strike, the case where the pachinko gaming machine 100 is first installed, Is considered to have exceeded the time available for backup. Further, it is conceivable that the RAM 31c is initialized because the connection between the power supply device and the game control device 30 is cut off for some reason and the backup power is not supplied. Furthermore, since the illegal game control device 30 is often not backed up in the RAM 31c, it is conceivable that the illegal game control device 30 is attached.

  In the determination of whether or not the checksum is normal (step S10), if the checksum is normal (step S10; Yes), processing for returning to the state at the time of the power failure is performed.

  As processing for returning to the state at the time of the occurrence of a power failure, first, processing for setting an initial value at the time of power failure recovery (step S11) is performed in the RAM 31c. Furthermore, after performing the process (step S12) which clears the area | region concerning the state of a game frame, the process (step S13) which transmits a power failure recovery command is performed. Then, a process for starting the interrupt timer (step S17) is performed.

  If the backup clear switch is ON (step S7; Yes) in the determination of whether or not the backup clear switch is ON (step S7), initialization processing at power-on is performed as main loop processing.

  As an initialization process at the time of power-on, first, a process of clearing the RAM 31c to be used (step S14) is performed, and a process of saving an initial value at the time of power-on to the RAM 31c (step S15). Further, a process for transmitting a power-on command (step S16) is performed. Then, a process for starting the interrupt timer (step S17) is performed.

  Next, loop processing is performed as main loop processing. In this loop process, first, a process for starting an interrupt timer (step S17) is performed to start a CTC (counter timer circuit). Next, a process for prohibiting interruption (step S18) is performed, a process for updating the initial random number by the initial value random number update process (step S19), and a process for permitting interruption (step S20) are performed.

  And the process (step S21) which checks the power failure inspection area | region of RAM31c is performed, and it is determined whether the power failure generate | occur | produced (step S22). In the power failure inspection area, check data is set when the power of the gaming machine is shut off due to a power failure as described later (step S26), and no check data is stored in the normal time. Therefore, it can be determined whether or not a power failure has occurred by determining the presence or absence of the check data.

  In the determination of whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S22), if a power failure has not occurred (step S22; No), the process returns to the process for prohibiting the above-described interruption (step S18). If not, the process for prohibiting interruption (step S18) repeatedly determines whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S22).

  When a power failure occurs in the determination of whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S22) (step S22; Yes), processing is performed when the power failure occurs. Immediately after the occurrence of a power failure, the backup power supply supplies power capable of executing the following processing when the power failure occurs.

  In the process at the time of the occurrence of a power failure, first, a process for prohibiting interruption (step S23) is performed. Then, processing for turning off all output ports (step S24) is performed, and processing for clearing the power failure inspection area (step S25) is performed. Further, after performing the process of saving the power failure recovery inspection area check data in the power failure recovery inspection area (step S26), the process of calculating the checksum when the power of the RAM 31c is turned off (step S27) is performed to access the RAM 31c. A prohibition process (step S28) is performed to wait for power-off of the gaming machine. Thus, by saving the power failure recovery inspection area check data in the power failure recovery inspection area and calculating the checksum at the time of power interruption, the information stored in the RAM 31c before the power interruption is correctly backed up. Can be determined at power-on.

[Timer interrupt processing]
Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, in the timer interrupt process, first, a process of saving the register data (step a) is performed. Next, various sensors (first special figure starting port SW13d, second special figure starting port SW7d, gate SW4a, winning port SW12a, 12a,..., Count SW10c, glass frame opening SW146, gaming machine frame opening SW121, out of ball SW122 , Etc.) is processed to perform input processing (step b). Then, based on the output data set in various processes, an output process (step c) for performing drive control of an actuator such as a solenoid (large winning opening SOL10b, ordinary power SOL7b) is performed.

  Next, command transmission processing (step d) for outputting commands set in the transmission buffer in various processing to various control devices is performed. And a big hit random number for judging the hit-off symbol of the special figure fluctuation display game, a big hit symbol random number for judging the big hit symbol of the special figure fluctuation display game, a hit random number for judging the hit deviation of the normal figure fluctuation display game Etc., random number update processing 1 (step e) is performed.

  Next, a winning opening switch monitoring process for monitoring whether or not a signal is input from the gate SW4a, winning openings SW12a, 12a,... (Whether or not a signal indicating detection of a game ball is input), and An error monitoring process (step f) for monitoring signals and errors, a special figure game process (step g) for performing a process related to the special figure fluctuation display game, and a normal figure game process (step f) for performing a process related to the general figure fluctuation display game h).

  Next, a segment LED editing process (step i) is performed, which is provided in the game board 1 and performs a process related to the status indicator 17 for displaying various information related to the game. Then, an external information editing process (step j) is performed in which a signal to be output to the external management apparatus is set in the output buffer. Next, processing for declaring the end of interrupt (step k) is performed, processing for restoring the saved register data (step l) is performed, processing for enabling interrupt (step m) is performed, and timer interrupt processing is performed. finish.

  Next, a winning value search process (step g4) is performed. In the winning value search process (step g4), the first start memory stored in the first special figure storage area or the second special figure start opening SW7d based on the detection of the game ball by the first special figure start opening SW13d. Processing for searching whether there is a big hit random number as a winning value among the big hit random numbers stored corresponding to the second start memory stored in the second special figure storage area based on the detection of the game ball by I do. Details of the winning price search process (step g4) will be described later.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the game process timer has expired (step g5). When determining whether or not the game process timer has expired (step g5), if the game process timer has expired (step g5; Yes), a process for obtaining a game process number (step g6) is performed. On the other hand, if the game processing timer has not expired in the determination of whether or not the game processing timer has expired (step g5) (step g5; No), the game processing timer is updated (the count value of the timer is changed). 1 decrement), the process proceeds to step g17, and the special figure fluctuation control process (step g17) for performing fluctuation control of the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 is performed, and the special figure game process is terminated.

[Starting port 2SW monitoring process]
Next, details of the start port 2SW monitoring process in the above-described special figure game process will be described. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, in the start port 2SW monitoring process, first, it is determined (g101) whether or not the normal variation winning device (ordinary electric accessory) 7 is in operation (during electric support).

  If it is determined whether or not the normal variation winning device 7 is in operation (g101), the normal variation winning device 7 is in operation (g101; Yes), the process proceeds to step g103. On the other hand, in the determination (g101) of whether or not the normally variable winning device 7 is in operation, if the ordinary variable winning device 7 is not in operation (g101; No), the number of illegal winnings to the ordinary variable winning device 7 is It is determined whether or not the upper limit value is exceeded (g102).

  In the determination of whether or not the number of fraudulent winnings to the normal variation winning device 7 exceeds the upper limit (g102), the number of fraudulent winnings to the normal variation winning device 7 exceeds the upper limit (g102; Yes) Ends the start port 2SW monitoring process. On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not the number of illegal winnings to the normally variable winning device 7 exceeds the upper limit (g102), the number of illegal winnings to the ordinary variable winning device 7 does not exceed the upper limit (g102; No) makes a determination (step g103) as to whether or not there is a start winning to the normal variation winning device (second special figure starting port) 7. Whether or not the normal variation winning device 7 has a start winning (step g103) is determined by the presence or absence of a game ball detection signal output from the second special figure starting port SW7d.

  In the determination of whether or not there is a start winning for the normal variation winning device 7 (step g103), when there is no starting winning (step g103; No), the start port 2SW monitoring process is terminated. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not there is a start winning to the ordinary variable winning device 7 (step g103), if there is a starting winning (step g103; Yes), the second start stored number (special figure 2 hold number) is set. The acquisition process (step g104) is performed, and it is determined (step g105) whether or not the second start memory number (special figure 2 hold number) is 4 or more.

  In the determination of whether or not the second start memory number is 4 or more (step g105), if the second start memory number is 4 or more (step g105; Yes), that is, the upper limit value of the second start memory number Is exceeded, the start port 2SW monitoring process is terminated. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the second start memory number is 4 or more (step g105), if the second start memory number is not 4 or more (step g105; No), the second start memory number is incremented by one. Processing (step g106) is performed.

  Next, a process of extracting a big hit random number for determining whether or not the result of the variable display game is a big hit (step g107), whether the result of the variable display game is a probability big hit or a normal big hit, a 16R big hit or Processing to extract jackpot symbol random number 2 for determining whether it is 2R jackpot (step g108), variation pattern for determining latter-half variation pattern table for determining latter-half variation pattern among variation patterns A process of extracting the random number for determination 1 (step g109) is performed.

  Next, a hit value search function for searching whether there is a big hit random number that is a hit value among the big hit random numbers stored corresponding to the first start memory or the second start memory is operating (processing is being executed) ) Is determined (step g110).

  In the determination of whether or not the hit value search function for searching whether or not there is a big hit random number serving as the win value (step g110), if the hit value search function is operating (step g110; Yes) ) Performs a process (step g118) for setting the decoration special figure 2 hold number command, and ends the start port 2SW monitoring process. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the hit value search function for searching whether there is a big hit random number that is a win value (step g110), the hit value search function is not in operation (step g110; No) ) Determines whether or not the random value of the jackpot random number extracted in step g107 matches the winning value (step g111).

  Specifically, whether or not the random value of the jackpot random number extracted in step g107 matches the winning value (step g111) is determined when the gaming state at this time is a probability variation state, The determination is made based on the probability variation determination table in which the number is set larger than that of the normal determination table, and in the normal gaming state and the short-time operation state, the determination is made based on the normal determination table.

  Further, when a special gaming state due to a normal jackpot has occurred when determining whether or not the random number value of the jackpot random number extracted in step g107 matches the hit value (step g111), it is newly stored. It is determined whether there is a second start memory before the second start memory. If there is a second start memory before the newly stored second start memory, the game of the variable display game based on the second start memory immediately before the newly stored second start memory It is determined whether or not the result is a probable big hit. If the game result of the variable display game based on the second start memory immediately before the newly stored second start memory is a probable big hit, the random number value of the big hit random number extracted in step g107 is The determination as to whether or not the winning value matches (step g111) is performed based on the probability variation determination table. On the other hand, if the game result of the variable display game based on the second start memory immediately before the newly stored second start memory does not become a probable big hit, the determination is made based on the normal determination table.

  Further, when there is no second start memory before the newly stored second start memory, the determination is made based on the normal determination table. In addition, when a special gaming state due to a probable variation jackpot has occurred when determining whether or not the random number value of the jackpot random number extracted in step g107 matches the winning price (step g111), it is newly stored. It is determined whether there is a second start memory before the second start memory. If there is a second start memory before the newly stored second start memory, the game of the variable display game based on the second start memory immediately before the newly stored second start memory It is determined whether or not the result is a probable big hit. If the game result of the variable display game based on the second start memory immediately before the newly stored second start memory is a probable big hit, the random number value of the big hit random number extracted in step g107 is The determination as to whether or not the winning value matches (step g111) is performed based on the probability variation determination table. On the other hand, if the game result of the variable display game based on the second start memory immediately before the newly stored second start memory does not become a probable big hit, the determination is made based on the normal determination table. Further, when there is no second start memory before the newly stored second start memory, the determination is made based on the probability variation determination table.

  In the determination of whether or not the random number value of the jackpot random number extracted in step g107 matches the winning value (step g111), when the random number value of the jackpot random number extracted in step g107 matches the winning value ( In step g111 (Yes), a process (step g112) for obtaining an effect pre-determination command 4 instructing that the memory reserved in the second start memory is “big hit” is performed, and the process proceeds to step g115.

  Returning to the start port 2SW monitoring process, in determining whether or not the random number value of the jackpot random number extracted in step g107 matches the winning value (step g111), the random number value of the jackpot random number extracted in step g107 is When it does not coincide with the winning value (step g111; No), a process (step g113) of obtaining an effect pre-determination command table corresponding to the number of suspensions stored in the second start memory is performed. Here, since the random number value of the jackpot random number extracted in step g107 does not match the winning value (step g111; No), for example, the second start of the effect predetermination commands 1 to 4 shown in FIG. Production pre-determination command 1 for instructing that the memory held in the memory is “outside / N (normal) reach or less”, production pre-determination command 2 for instructing that it is “outside / SP (special) 1 reach” Alternatively, an effect pre-determination command table is selected so that any of the effect pre-determination commands 3 instructing that “there is SPECIAL / SP (special) 2 reach” is selected. Next, based on the effect prior determination command table acquired in step g113, a process (step g114) for acquiring an effect prior determination command corresponding to the random number 1 for variation pattern determination extracted in step g109 is performed.

  Next, a process of obtaining a stop symbol pattern command corresponding to the jackpot symbol random number 2 extracted in step g108 (step g115) is performed. And the process which sets the production prior determination command acquired in step g114 (step g116), the process which sets the stop symbol pattern command acquired in step g115 (step g117), and the process which sets the decoration special figure 2 reservation number command (Step g118) is performed, and the start port 2SW monitoring process is terminated.

  As a result, the game control device 30 executes the game result information corresponding to the start memory stored in the second winning memory means (start winning memory means) (game control device 30) based on the start memory. A game result prior determination means for determining (preliminary determination) before the display game is started. In addition, the game control device 30 is provided in the game result pre-determining means (game control device 30), and a game ball winning in the second start winning area (ordinary variable winning device 7) is generated and stored in the second winning memory. When the start memory is stored in the means (game control device 30), the start winning time determination means for determining the game result information corresponding to the start memory is made.

[Start 1SW monitoring process]
Next, details of the start port 1SW monitoring process in the above-described special figure game process will be described. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, in the start port 1 SW monitoring process, first, it is determined whether or not there is a start winning to the first start winning port 13 (step g 201). Whether or not there is a start winning in the first start winning opening 13 (step g201) is determined by the presence or absence of the detection signal of the game ball output from the first special figure starting opening SW13d.

  In the determination of whether or not there is a start winning in the first start winning opening 13 (step g201), when there is no starting winning (step g201; No), the start opening 1SW monitoring process is terminated. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not there is a start winning in the first start winning opening 13 (step g201), if there is a start winning (step g201; Yes), the first start memorized number (special figure 1 hold number) Is acquired (step g202), and it is determined whether or not the first start memory number (special figure 2 hold number) is 4 or more (step g203).

  In the determination of whether or not the first start memory number is 4 or more (step g203), if the first start memory number is 4 or more (step g203; Yes), that is, the upper limit value of the first start memory number Is exceeded, the start port 1SW monitoring process is terminated. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the first start memory number is 4 or more (step g203), if the first start memory number is not 4 or more (step g203; No), the first start memory number is incremented by one. Processing (step g204) is performed.

  Next, a process of extracting a big hit random number for determining whether or not the result of the variable display game is a big hit (step g205), whether the result of the variable display game is a probability big hit or a normal big hit, 16R big hit or A process of extracting the jackpot symbol random number 1 for determining which one of the 2R jackpots, etc. (step g206), and determining the latter half fluctuation pattern table (see FIG. 15) for determining the latter half fluctuation pattern among the fluctuation patterns. The process (step g207) for extracting the random number 1 for determining the variation pattern for the purpose is performed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the normal variable winning device (ordinary electric accessory) 7 has been extended (step g208). In the determination of whether or not the normally variable winning device (ordinary electric accessory) 7 is opened and extended (step g208), when the ordinary variable winning device (ordinary electric accessory) 7 is extended and opened (step g208). (g208; Yes) indicates that a hit value search function for searching whether there is a big hit random number that is a hit value among the big hit random numbers stored corresponding to the first start memory or the second start memory is operating ( It is determined whether the process is being executed (step g210).

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the normal variable winning device (ordinary electric accessory) 7 is opened and extended (step g208), the normal variable winning device (ordinary electric accessory) 7 is not extended and extended. In (step g208; No), it is determined whether or not the gaming state at this time is a big hit (step g209). In the determination of whether or not this gaming state is a big hit (step g209), if the gaming state is a big hit (step g209; Yes), the process proceeds to step g210.

  When determining whether or not the hit value search function for searching whether or not there is a big hit random number serving as the hit value is in operation (step g210), if the hit value search function is not in operation (step g210; No) Performs the process of setting the decorative figure 1 hold number command (step g218), and ends the start port 1SW monitoring process.

  Therefore, when the normal variation winning device 7 is extended and extended (step g208; Yes), for example, when the probability variation state or the short-time operation state is in effect and the hit value search function is not in operation (step g210; No). In some cases, the predetermination (prefetching) is not performed for the newly stored first start memory. Further, when the gaming state is a big hit (step g209; Yes), and when the hit value search function is not in operation (step g210; No), the newly stored first start memory is pre- The setting is such that judgment (prefetching) is not performed. This is because when the normal variable winning device 7 is extended and extended, the second start memory frequently occurs, and the first start memory number becomes zero or the first value search function does not become active unless the hit value search function is in operation. This is because the variable display game based on the start memory is not executed. However, if the first start memory is preliminarily determined when the hit value search function is not in operation, for example, the second start memory is up to the upper limit number 4. If the first start memory is also stored up to the upper limit number 4, and the big start random number that the game result is a big hit is stored in the fourth start of the digest sequence of the first start memory, the second start memory Since the player will not start firing until the first to third memory is digested, and the game store side's profit is reduced, the above condition is satisfied. If the newly memorized second And has a setting that does not perform a pre-determined (read) with respect to the start memory.

  At this time, prior determination (prefetching) is performed with respect to the newly stored first start-up memory, but it may be set so that the effect prior determination command acquired by the prior determination is not transmitted to the effect control device 40.

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the gaming state is a big hit (step g209), if the gaming state is not a big hit (step g209; No), the winning value for searching whether or not there is a big hit random number that is a winning value When determining whether or not the search function is in operation (step g210), if the hit value search function is in operation (step g210; Yes), the random value of the big hit random number extracted in step g205 is the win value. Is determined (step g211).

  When determining whether or not the big hit random number matches the judgment value (hit value) (step g211), if the big hit random number matches the judgment value (hit value) (step g211; Yes), as shown in FIG. In addition, a process (step g212) for obtaining the effect pre-determination command 4 for instructing that the memory reserved in the first start memory is “big hit” is performed, and the process proceeds to step g215. On the other hand, if the big hit random number does not match the judgment value (hit value) in the determination (step g211) as to whether or not the big hit random number matches the judgment value (hit value), the first start is performed. The process (step g213) which acquires the production prior determination command table corresponding to the number of holdings memorize | stored in memory | storage is performed. Here, since the random number value of the jackpot random number extracted in step g205 does not match the winning value (step g211; No), for example, the first start of the effect preliminary determination commands 1 to 4 shown in FIG. Production pre-determination command 1 for instructing that the memory held in the memory is “outside / N (normal) reach or less”, production pre-determination command 2 for instructing that it is “outside / SP (special) 1 reach” Alternatively, an effect pre-determination command table is selected so that any of the effect pre-determination commands 3 instructing that “there is SPECIAL / SP (special) 2 reach” is selected. Next, based on the effect predetermination command table acquired in step g213, processing for obtaining an effect predetermination command corresponding to the variation pattern determining random number 1 extracted in step g207 is performed (step g214).

  Next, processing for obtaining a stop symbol pattern command corresponding to the jackpot symbol random number 1 extracted in step g206 (step g215) is performed. Then, a process of setting the effect prior determination command acquired in step g214 (step g216), a process of setting the stop symbol pattern command acquired in step g215 (step g217), and a process of setting the decoration special figure 1 hold number command (Step g218) is performed, and the start port 1SW monitoring process is terminated.

  Thereby, the game control device 30 executes the game result information corresponding to the start memory stored in the first winning memory means (start winning memory means) (game control device 30) based on the start memory. A game result prior determination means for determining (preliminary determination) before the display game is started. In addition, the game control device 30 is provided in the game result pre-determining means (game control device 30), and a game ball winning in the first start winning area (first start winning port 13) occurs and the first winning is achieved. When the start memory is stored in the storage means (game control device 30), the start winning time determination means for determining game result information corresponding to the start memory is provided.

[Hit search processing]

  Next, the big hit random number value stored corresponding to the first special figure storage area acquired in the process (step g402) of acquiring the big hit random number value stored corresponding to the first special figure storage area is hit. Processing for determining whether or not a value is stored (step g403) is performed.

  When it is determined that the winning value is stored in the process (step g403) for determining whether or not the big hit random number value stored corresponding to the first special figure storage area is stored (step g403) g403; Yes) sets a special figure 1 hit value flag (step g407) and ends the hit value search process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the winning value is not stored in the process of determining whether or not the winning value is stored in the jackpot random number value stored corresponding to the first special figure storage area (step g403) ( Step g403; No) performs a process (step g404) of acquiring a jackpot random number value stored corresponding to the second special figure storage area.

  Next, the big hit random number value stored corresponding to the second special figure storage area acquired in the process of acquiring the big hit random number value stored corresponding to the second special figure storage area (step g404) Processing for determining whether or not a value is stored (step g405) is performed.

  When it is determined that the winning value is not stored in the process of determining whether or not the winning value is stored in the jackpot random number value stored corresponding to the second special figure storage area (step g405) (step g405; No) ends the hit value search process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the winning value is stored in the process of determining whether or not the winning value is stored in the jackpot random number value stored corresponding to the second special figure storage area (step g405) ( In step g405 (Yes), a special figure 2 hit value flag is set (step g406), and the hit value search process is terminated.

It will function as a game result information search means for searching game result information related to the occurrence of the special game state from the game result information corresponding to the start-up memory stored in (game control device 30).

[Special figure routine processing]
Next, the details of the special figure routine process in the above special figure game process will be described. As shown in FIG. 14, in the special figure normal processing, first, based on the big hit random number value stored corresponding to the first special figure storage area, whether there is a hit value among the big hit random number values. A hit value search function operation process (step g701) for searching whether or not is performed is performed. Details of the winning price search function operation processing (step g701) will be described later.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the hit value search function is in operation (step g702). In the determination of whether or not the hit value search function is in operation (step g702), if the hit value search function is in operation (step g702; Yes), the first start memory number (first special figure hold) It is determined whether (number) is 0 (step g704). On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the hit value search function is in operation (step g702), if the hit value search function is not in operation (step g702; No), the second start memory number (second special figure hold) It is determined whether (number) is 0 (step g703).

Then, the process for setting the special figure 1 variation start setting table (step g710) is performed, and the special figure normal process is terminated.

[Hit Price Search Function Operation Processing]
Next, the details of the hit value search function operation processing in the above-described special figure routine processing will be described. As shown in FIG. 15, in the winning value search function operation processing, first, it is determined whether or not the normal variation winning device (ordinary electric accessory) 7 has been extended (step g701a).

  In the determination of whether or not the normal variable winning device (ordinary electric accessory) 7 is opened and extended (step g701a), when the normal variable winning device (ordinary electric accessory) 7 is not extended (step g701a). g701a; No) ends the hit value search function operation processing.

  On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not the normally variable winning device (ordinary electric accessory) 7 is opened and extended (step g701a), the ordinary variable winning device (ordinary electric accessory) 7 is opened and extended ( In step g701a (Yes), it is determined whether or not the hit value search function operation flag is set (step g701b).

In (step g701c; Yes), a hit value is stored for the big hit random number value stored in correspondence with the second special figure storage area. Therefore, even if the hit value search function that digests the start memory stored in the first special figure storage area with priority over the start memory stored in the second special figure storage area is not operated, the second special figure is not activated. Since the big hit occurs based on the digestion of the start memory stored in the figure storage area, the hit value search function operation processing is terminated without operating the hit value search function.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step g701c whether or not the special figure 2 hit value flag is set (step g701c), the special figure 2 hit value flag is not set (step g701c; No), the hit value search function A process of extracting a search function selection random number (step g701d) for deciding whether or not to operate is performed, and it is determined whether or not a special figure 1 value flag is set (step g701e).

A determination table for determining whether or not to operate the winning value search function is selected according to the determination result (step g701e) of whether or not the special figure 1 hit value flag is set. .

  If it is determined in step g701e whether or not the special figure 1 value flag is set (step g701e), if it is determined that the special figure 1 value flag is set (step g701e; Yes), the search function selection determination table 1 is obtained, and it is determined (step g701f) whether or not the hit value search function is activated by comparing the search function selection determination table 1 with the search function selection random number extracted in step g701d.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step g701e whether or not the special figure 1 value flag is set (step g701e), it is determined that the special figure 1 value flag is not set (step g701e; No), the search function selection determination is made. Table 2 is acquired, and it is determined whether or not the hit value search function is activated (step g701g) by comparing the search function selection determination table 2 with the search function selection random number extracted in step g701d.

  Here, the value of the search function selection random number extracted in the process of step g701d takes, for example, a range of 0 to 99. If the search function selection determination table 1 is acquired, the search function selection random number is acquired. When the value is within the range of 0 to 79, it is determined to activate the hit value search function. When the value of the search function selection random number is within the range of 80 to 99, the hit value search function is activated. It will be judged not to let it. That is, when the special figure 1 hit value flag is set, the hit value search function is activated with a probability of 80%.

  On the other hand, when the search function selection determination table 2 is acquired, if the value of the search function selection random number is in the range of 0 to 79, it is determined not to operate the hit value search function, and the search function selection random number is determined. If the value is in the range of 80 to 99, it is determined to activate the hit value search function. That is, if the special figure 1 hit value flag is not set, the hit value search function is activated with a probability of 20%.

  Next, by comparing the search function selection determination table 1 with the search function selection random number extracted in step g701d, it is determined whether or not the hit value search function is activated (step g701f), or the search function selection determination table 2 Judgment whether or not it is determined that the hit value search function is to be activated based on the determination of whether or not the hit value search function is to be operated (step g701g) by comparison with the search function selection random number extracted in step g701d (step g701d) g701h).

  When it is determined that the hit value search function is to be activated (step g701h; Yes) in the determination of whether or not the hit value search function is to be activated (step g701h), the hit value search function activation flag is set. (Step g701i) is performed, a search function operation command is set (Step g701j) to instruct the production control device 40 that the operation of the hit value search function is determined, and the hit value search function operation processing is terminated. To do.

  Thereby, the game control device 30 is provided in the game result information search means (game control device 30) and serves as search execution determination means for determining whether or not to search for game result information. Further, the game control device 30 is provided in the game result information search means (game control device 30), and when the search execution determination means (game control device 30) determines to execute the search of the game result information, Search execution means for searching for game result information is provided.

  Further, when the hit value search function operation flag is set in step g701i, the hit value search function is in operation, and in step g110 shown in FIG. 9 and step g210 shown in FIG. 10, the hit value search function is in operation. When the hit value search function is in operation (step g110; Yes, step g210; Yes), the first special figure variation display game based on the first special figure start memory is the second. The second special figure variation display game based on the special figure start memory is prioritized and executed.

  Thus, the game control device 30 (control means) cancels the priority execution control of the second execution control means (game control device 30) by the priority execution control means (game control device 30), and the first execution control means. Priority control release setting means (game control apparatus 30) for executing the control by the (game control apparatus 30) with priority over the control by the second execution control means.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step G701h that it is determined that the hit value search function is to be activated (step g701h), it is determined that the hit value search function is not to be operated (step g701h; No). A search function lottery command is set (step g701k) for instructing execution of a determination as to whether or not to perform a search function notice effect for notifying the search function operation, and the winning price search function operation process is terminated.

  Here, when it is determined that the hit value search function is to be activated (step g701h), if it is determined that the hit value search function is not to be activated (step g701h; No), the hit value search function operation flag is set. Is not set and the hit value search function is not activated. That is, the priority execution control of the second execution control means (game control apparatus 30) by the priority execution control means (game control apparatus 30) is continuously executed. Thus, the game control device 30 (control unit) serves as a cancellation setting execution determination unit that determines whether or not to execute control by the priority control cancellation setting unit (game control device 30).

  Further, the release setting execution determining means (game control device 30) is the game execution information corresponding to the start memory stored in the first winning storage means (game control device 30) by the search execution means (game control device 30). The game result information related to the occurrence of the special game state is searched from, and based on the search result, the priority execution control of the second execution control means (game control apparatus 30) by the priority execution control means (game control apparatus 30) is performed. It is determined whether to release the control by the first execution control means (game control device 30) prior to the control by the second execution control means (game control device 30).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step g701b that the winning value search function activation flag is set (step g701b; Yes), the number of start memories currently stored in the first special figure storage area is calculated. The acquisition process (step g701l) is performed.

  Next, in the process of acquiring the number of start memories stored in the first special figure storage area (step g701l), the start memory number stored in the acquired first special figure storage area is “0”. Is determined (step g701m).

  In the determination of whether or not the number of starting memories stored in the first special figure storage area is “0” (step g701m), the number of starting memories stored in the first special figure storage area is “0”. If it is determined (step g701m; Yes), the winning value search function operation flag is cleared (step g701o), and the search function stop command for instructing the effect control device 40 to stop the operation of the winning value search function. Is set (step g701p), and the winning value search function operation processing is terminated.

  As a result, the priority control release setting means (game control device 30) has the start memory stored in the first winning storage means (game control device 30) based on the control of the first execution control means (game control device 30). When all of them are digested and the control by the second execution control means (game control device 30) is executed, the priority execution control by the first execution control means (game control device 30) is canceled and the priority execution control means (game) Return to the priority execution control by the control device 30).

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the start memory number stored in the first special figure storage area is “0” (step g701m), the start memory number stored in the first special figure storage area is “0”. If it is determined that the value is not "" (step g701m; No), it is determined whether or not the special figure 2 per-value flag is set (step g701n).

  When it is determined that the special figure 2 hit value flag is set (step g701n) and the special figure 2 hit value flag is not set (step g701n; No), the win value search function The operation process is terminated.

  Therefore, the first special chart is stored until the number of starting memories stored in the first special chart storage area becomes “0”, or the special figure 2 per-value flag is set, or one of the conditions is satisfied. The first special figure fluctuation display game based on the start memory is executed in preference to the second special figure fluctuation display game based on the second special figure start memory.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step g701n whether or not the special figure 2 value flag is set (step g701n), the special figure 2 value flag is set (step g701n; Yes), step g701o is executed. Execute step g701p to end the hit value search function operation processing.

  It should be noted that the specific game is satisfied without satisfying any condition of whether the start memory number stored in the first special figure storage area is “0” or the special figure 2 per-value flag is set. When the state is to be ended, the winning value search function operation flag is cleared and the search function stop command is set upon completion of the final game (for example, the 100th game) in the specific game state. It is desirable to do.
