Description

  The present invention is advantageous to the player when the identification information is displayed on the identification information display unit after being variably displayed on the identification information display unit for a predetermined time based on the game ball entering the starting port, and the stop identification information is in a predetermined mode. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine of a type that shifts to a special gaming state, and having a means for supporting entry into a starting port.

  The most popular pachinko machines currently have a special symbol on the display section such as 7-segment, which is displayed in a variable manner when a game ball enters the start opening (start chucker). When the special symbol is in a predetermined mode (for example, “7”), a special gaming state that is more profitable for the player than the normal gaming state {a special winning opening (attacker) that is normally closed is a predetermined condition Type of game that will be released in the past}, the so-called “digipachi” model {conventional “first-class gaming machine” and “multi-function machine” {conventional “first-class gaming machine” functions , A game machine having the functions of a conventional “first-class game machine” and a conventional “second-class game machine”}}. In the present specification, “small hit” means a special game that cannot be used as an opportunity to switch a specific game flag (probability variation flag or short-time shortened game). If the flag is on, this is a special game in which the flag is turned off at the time of small hit execution and the flag is turned on again after the small hit ends).

  Here, in most gaming machines, a variable member that assists the entry of a game ball into the start port is provided near the start port entrance. Then, when the transition to the specific game state (probability variation game, time-reduced game) is triggered by the end of the special game, the variable member that is hardly opened in the normal game state is likely to be in the open state, and as a result, compared with the normal game state Thus, it becomes easy for a game ball to enter the starting port. Thus, the role of the variable member in the conventional machine is to make it easy to win the next special game after the special game. That is, in addition to the benefit of a special game, the idea is to add an excessive profit that makes it easy to shift to a special game again.

  Furthermore, in recent pachinko machines, in addition to the jackpot that triggers the transition to the specific gaming state (probability variation game, time-reduced game) described above, it does not trigger the transition to the specific gaming state and is compared with the jackpot. There are small hits with few winnings. Usually, in a pachinko gaming machine having a small hitting function, there is further a big hit in which an open mode that is indistinguishable from the small hitting is executed. By configuring in this way, when the opening mode with a small number of balls is executed, it becomes difficult to determine whether it is based on a small hit or based on a big hit. On the other hand, since the possibility of a jackpot with a specific game can be given, it is possible to improve the frequency with which the player has a sense of expectation.

As described above, from the viewpoint of enhancing the interest of the game, the current gaming machine is given a distinctive gaming characteristic. However, in any model, unless the player wins a prize or wins a jackpot that shifts to a specific game, the player will not be profitable. It is the actual situation. Therefore, when the period when the special game is not won reaches a specific number of times, a big hit is generated (Patent Document 1) or the probability fluctuation state (Patent Document 2) is compensated for not shifting to the special game for a long time. A method for performing the above has been proposed.
JP2004-16703 JP 2005-95449 A

  However, it is not preferable from the viewpoint of maintaining the order of the gaming machine and fairness to forcibly shift to the special game and make the hit per probability fluctuation just because the special game cannot be drawn for a long time. Also, with regard to small wins, since the small hits themselves do not play and do not shift to a specific game, even if a small hit is provided, the effect of this is only a player's psychological effect, eventually winning the big win Unless it is not, there is no profit for the player. Therefore, the present invention is not an unfair means of forcibly granting a jackpot in a situation where it is not possible to win a jackpot for a long period of time. It aims to provide a means.

Of the second specific game state, the second specific game state on the main game unit side is different from the main game normal game state (special game normal game state) in the main game first identification information (second special symbol) and The main game different time selection game state (special figure limited frequency state) in which the variation time of the second identification information for the main game (first special symbol) is selected,
When the predetermined mode is the second predetermined mode (for example, “2A” or “2B”), the second game state switching unit (specific game control unit 1180) is caused to stop in the second predetermined mode. After the second special game (small hit) to be executed is completed, the game state on the main game unit side is shifted to the main game different time selection game state (special figure limited frequency state) and linked with the transition. The game state on the side of the auxiliary game unit is shifted to the second game state (normal figure limited frequency state), while the first identification information for the main game (second special symbol) and the main game are used after the second special game ends. When the total number of fluctuations of the second identification information (first special symbol) reaches a predetermined number, the game state on the main game unit side is shifted to the main game normal game state (special game normal game state) and the transition is made. Auxiliary game normal game state on the auxiliary game department side in conjunction with Shifting to trick state (Hiroshizu normal gaming state), a pachinko game machine of the invention (4).

  Here, the meaning of each term in the claims and the specification will be described. First, “entering a ball” includes not only a winning in which a winning ball is paid out but also a passage to a “through chucker” in which no winning ball is paid out. The “identification information” may be in any form as long as the type of information can be identified through the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.). For example, visual information includes shapes such as numbers, letters, designs, etc. The information is output through a certain item (for example, a special symbol managed by the main control device side, a normal symbol, or a decorative symbol related to a production game managed by the sub control device side). The “open state” refers to a state in which game balls can flow in or can easily flow in, and the “closed state” refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in or a state in which game balls are difficult to flow in. “Winning” is a concept related to award ball payout. “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a random number in a narrow sense (for example, a hard- Random numbers and soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, the so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers (random numbers for success / failure lottery)” related to the transition of special games, and the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol “Variation mode determination random number” for determining, “symbol determination random number” for determining a stop symbol, “winning symbol determination random number” for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, etc. be able to. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. In addition, in the claims and in the present specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of a random number or a plurality of random numbers. Random numbers acquired by a single entry into the ball are referred to as one (ie, in the above example, a random number bundle of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + design determining random number ... Called random numbers). Further, for example, a kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). “Satisfying the identification information change start condition” means that the game is not in a special game and the identification information is not changing. “The second condition, which is more disadvantageous to the player than the first condition” means that the former expected number of game balls is larger than the latter expected number of game balls. If the game is easy to select, if the former is longer open time of one round, if the former is more upper limit number of one round, the former will select a variable winning opening with more payout per piece In this case, there can be mentioned a case where the variable winning opening is arranged in a place where the former ball can be used less when the game ball is launched.

  According to the present invention (1), with a big hit, the main game side identification information probability variation game, the main game side identification information time shortening game, and the auxiliary game side identification information probability variation game are transferred to the first specific game, In a pachinko gaming machine that is configured not to shift to the first specific game with a win as a trigger, when winning a small hit, the time for the auxiliary game identification information is shortened for a predetermined period after the small hit Since it is configured to shift to the auxiliary game side open extended game state where the auxiliary game side identification information time shortening game and / or the opening time of the variable member is extended, it is compulsory under the situation where it has not been won for a long term jackpot In addition to being able to take relief measures against players in a way that does not create an unfair feeling compared to the case of granting jackpots etc., there has been no practical benefit so far Since at the moment of the hit, there is an effect that it is possible to creation of new value to small hit.

  According to the present invention (2), in addition to the above-described effect, when the small win is won during the second specific game state, the auxiliary game side time-reduced game state and / or variable when the change time of the auxiliary game identification information is further shorter Since it is configured to shift to the auxiliary game side variable member opening extension game with longer member opening time, it creates further new value for small hits in that it will be an opportunity to rank up There is an effect that it becomes possible.

  According to the present invention (3), in addition to the above-described effects, a different variation time selection gaming state (second game on the main game side) in which a variation time different from the normal game time is selected on the main game side in response to the small hit. Since it is configured to shift to the second specific game on the auxiliary game side in conjunction with this, the main game and the auxiliary game can maintain the superiority or inferiority relationship as before. There is an effect that it becomes possible.

  According to the present invention (4), in addition to the above effects, in a gaming machine having at least two conventional type 1 functions, it is difficult to win a small hit in the normal game state on the auxiliary game side, In the case of winning, it becomes a state in which the auxiliary game is reduced to the first time reduced state, and it becomes easier to enter the first starting port for the main game. In such a case, since it is configured to be in a more advantageous auxiliary game second time shortening game state, it is possible to realize a rank-up profit addition triggered by a small hit based on entering a different starting point There is an effect.

  According to the present invention (5), in addition to the above-described effects, a different variation time selection gaming state (second game on the main game side) in which a variation time different from that in the normal game is selected on the main game side in response to a small hit. Since it is configured to shift to the second specific game on the auxiliary game side in conjunction with this, the main game and the auxiliary game can maintain the superiority or inferiority relationship as before. There is an effect that it becomes possible.

  Here, the “random number” in the claims and the present specification including the above is, for example, “0” to “65535” and “ It is a value randomly selected from a predetermined range such as “0” to “255”. The random number may not be a mathematically generated random number, but may be a pseudo random number generated by a hardware random number, a software random number, or the like. For example, the expression method of each value in the random number is a method in which the value is expressed in order along the random number sequence (plus one method), the next value when the final value of the random number sequence is expressed (initial value) ) With a contingent value (initial value update method), a combination of these, and the like.

  Next, the hold control unit 1130 determines whether or not to temporarily store the first game content determination random number acquired in a situation where the first special symbol variation permission is not granted, and based on the determination result, the random number is determined as a symbol. The first special figure holding means 1131 for holding in the first special figure hold information temporary storage means 1131a until the change permission is given, and the second game content determination random number acquired in a situation where the second special symbol change permission is not given. The second special figure holding means 1132 for holding the random number in the second special figure holding information temporary storage means 1132a until the symbol variation permission is granted based on the determination result, Decide whether or not to temporarily store the normal symbol winning random number acquired in a situation where the symbol variation permission has not been granted, and based on the determination result, the random number is temporarily stored until the symbol variation permission is granted And a Prussian diagram holding means 1133 for holding the 憶 means 1133a. Here, the first special figure holding means 1131, the second special figure holding means 1132 and the universal figure holding means 1133 are capable of storing up to four, and for temporarily storing the random numbers combined with the holding order. The first special figure hold information temporary storage means 1131a, the second special figure hold information temporary storage means 1132a, and the general figure hold information temporary storage means 1133a are provided. Furthermore, in addition to the random number, the first special figure hold information temporary storage unit 1131a and the second special figure hold information temporary storage unit 1132a also temporarily store information related to the order in which the random number hold is released.

Next, the success / failure lottery means 1135 determines the transition to a special game when the result of the success / failure lottery is a big win or a small winner (for example, the special game execution permission flag is internally turned on). A means 1135a and a success / failure lottery table 1135b referred to when the success / failure lottery is performed are provided. Here, the success / failure lottery table 1135b is used when the success / failure lottery table for the first special symbol referred to when performing the success / failure lottery for the first special symbol 1135b-1 and the success / failure lottery for the second special symbol. And a second special figure use lottery table 1135b-3 to be referred to. In the best mode, the jackpot and the jackpot are configured in the same table. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the jackpot and the jackpot may be determined using different tables. Here, Table 1 is an example of the success / failure lottery table 1135b. As can be seen from this table, the big hit probability is the same for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, but the small hit probability is set higher for the second special symbol than for the first special symbol. Note that the probability of jackpot and jackpot in the following is just an example.

  Next, the symbol content determination means 1140 determines the first special symbol content determination that determines the stop symbol and variation mode (variation time, etc.) of the first special symbol based on the acquired first game content determination random number (first random number). Means 1141, second special figure content determining means 1142 for determining the stop symbol and variation mode (variation time, etc.) of the second special symbol based on the acquired second game content determination random number (second random number), and There is a general symbol content determining means 1143 for determining a stop symbol of the normal symbol based on the normal symbol winning random number. Hereinafter, each means will be described in detail.

  First, the first special symbol content determining unit 1141 (second special symbol content determining unit 1142) refers to the first special symbol that is referred to when determining the stop symbol and the variation mode related to the first special symbol (second special symbol). The figure content determination lottery table 1141a (second special figure content determination lottery table 1142a) is provided. The first special symbol content determination lottery table 1141a (second special symbol content determination lottery table 1142a) is referred to when determining the stop symbol of the first special symbol (second special symbol). Refer to the figure stop symbol determination lottery table 1141a-1 (second special symbol stop symbol determination lottery table 1142a-1) and when determining the variation mode (variation time) of the first special symbol (second special symbol). And a first special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1141a-2 (second special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1142a-2). These are described in detail below.

First, Table 2 shows an example of the first special figure stop symbol determination lottery table 1141a-1 and the second special figure stop symbol determination lottery table 1142a-1. As can be seen from the example below, in this best mode, there are a plurality of jackpot symbols. As will be described later, the profit state at the time of the special game and the game state after the special game are determined based on the type of the symbol and the game state (this will be described later).

Next, Table 3 shows an example of the first special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1141a-2 and the second special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1142a-2. In the best mode, both tables have the same configuration, and are summarized. As can be seen from the table, first, in the case of a lost game in a short-time game, a variation time that is generally shorter than that of other lose tables is selected. Further, in the case of a loss in the limited frequency game, only one pattern variation time is selected. In the best mode, there are a plurality (three types in this example) of limited frequency states related to fluctuations in special symbols. In the best mode, the selected variation time is one pattern in the limited frequency state, but a plurality of patterns may be provided. Furthermore, a different variation mode may be selected according to the number of reserved balls (for example, when there are three or four reserves at the time of holding digestion, a short variation time is selected. May be configured). However, even in this case, in the limited frequency state, only one variation time pattern is substantially selected regardless of the number of reserved balls.

Next, the general symbol content determination means 1143 has a general symbol content determination lottery table 1143a that is referred to when determining a stop symbol related to a normal symbol. Furthermore, the general symbol content determination lottery table 1143a determines the normal symbol stop symbol determination lottery table 1143a-1 that is referred to when the normal symbol stop symbol is determined, and the normal symbol variation mode (variation mode). A lottery table 1143a-2 for determining a customary figure change mode which is referred to at the time. Here, Table 4 shows an example of a lottery table 1143a-1 for determining a normal stop symbol. As can be seen from this table, “7” which is a winning symbol for each game state of the normal symbol (in the normal normal game in which the normal time short flag is off and in the short normal game in which the normal time short flag is on). The selection rate of “is changed. Specifically, the selection rate of the winning symbol “7” at the time of a short game at normal time (also referred to as the time of a normal game) is the winning symbol “7” at the time of a normal game (including a limited frequency game). It is configured higher than the selectivity.

Next, Table 5 shows an example of a reference variation mode determination reference table 1143a-2. As can be seen from this table, various reference tables are provided for each ordinary game state. Specifically, these tables include a normal game normal game state (a state in which the normal time short flag is off), a short game time in a normal time state (a state in which the short time flag in a normal time is on), and a general game limited frequency game state ( It is referred to when determining the fluctuation time of the normal symbol in each of the normal figure game states (when the general figure limited frequency flags a to c are on). Here, the normal symbol variation time is set shorter in the normal game short game state than in the normal game normal game state. In addition, in this short-time normal game state, that is, in a situation where the short-time normal flag flag is on, the normal symbol winning probability is high (the probability of stopping at the winning symbol is high) and the normal-probability variable gaming state. In addition, since the opening time of the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 is also extended, the electric accessory release extended game state, so that the second special figure start opening 2110 enters the ball most compared to the normal game state. It is easy to do. In addition, in the state of the usual figure limited frequency gaming state (any of the usual figure limited frequency flags a to c is on), the variation time shorter than that in the usual figure normal gaming state is selected. Then, the shorter variation time is selected in the order of the usual figure limited frequency c gaming state <the usual figure limited frequency b gaming state <the usual figure limited frequency a gaming state, depending on the type of the usual figure limited frequency gaming state. Note that, in the usual figure limited frequency gaming state, unlike the above-mentioned ordinary figure short-time gaming state, the winning probability of the normal symbol is the same as the ordinary figure normal gaming state. Also, the opening time of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 is different from the normal game state. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in this normal figure limited frequency game state, unlike the above-mentioned normal time short game state, the winning probability of the normal symbol is the same as the normal figure normal game state, and In addition, the opening time of the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 may be configured to be the same as the normal game state.

  Next, the display control unit 1150 performs first control on the first special symbol display unit 2131 of the first special symbol display device 2130 to stop and display after changing the first special symbol for a predetermined time. 1151, second special symbol control means 1152 for controlling to stop display after changing the second special symbol for a predetermined time on the second special symbol display unit 2231 of the second special symbol display device 2230, and normal symbol display There is a universal symbol control means 1154 for performing a control to stop and display after changing the normal symbol for a predetermined time on the universal symbol display unit 2421 of the device 2420.

  Here, the first special figure control means 1151 further includes a first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a for managing the fluctuation time according to the fluctuation mode determined by the first special figure content determination means 1141. Yes. The first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a further includes a first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (decrement counter) that can be cleared to zero. Next, the second special figure control means 1152 further comprises second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a for managing the fluctuation time according to the fluctuation mode determined by the second special figure content determination means 1142. Yes. The second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a further includes a second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1 (decrement counter) that can be cleared to zero. Further, the universal symbol control means 1154 has an ordinary symbol fluctuation time management means 1154a for managing the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol on the ordinary symbol display unit 2421 of the ordinary symbol display device 2420. Further, the common figure change time management means 1154a further includes a normal figure change management timer 1154a-1 capable of measuring time.

Next, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 determines whether or not the conditions for performing the process of opening and closing the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 of the second special figure start opening 2110 are satisfied. Condition determining means 1161, an electric chew opening time determination reference table 1163 referred to when determining the opening time of the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112, and the second special figure of the second special figure start opening 2110. And an electric chew release time management timer 1162 for measuring the drive (opening) time of the start opening electric accessory 2112. Here, Table 6 shows an example of the reference table 1163 for determining the electric chew release time. As can be seen from Table 6, in the normal game time short game state, the opening time of the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 is set longer than the normal game normal game state (open extension function). In addition, regarding the usual figure limited frequency state, the opening time of the second special figure start port electric accessory 2112 is set longer in the order of the usual figure limited frequency state in the order of a → b → c.

Next, the special game control means 1170 determines whether or not the condition for shifting to the special game (bonus) is satisfied. Specifically, the special game (bonus) execution permission flag is won. If the condition determination means 1171 for determining whether or not has occurred and the special game transition condition is satisfied, the content of the special game (specifically, the big winning opening to be opened, the number of rounds, Special game content determining means 1172 for setting the time between rounds etc.) in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and the special game in which the first big prize opening 2120 or the second big prize opening 2220 is opened under a predetermined condition. Special game execution means 1173 for executing (big win) and time management of various processes related to the special game (for example, opening / closing time of the first big prize opening 2120 and the second big prize opening 2220) And a special game time management means 1174 of Utame. Here, the special game time management means 1174 further includes a special game management timer 1174a capable of measuring time. The special game content determination unit 1172 further includes a special game content reference table 1172a that is referred to when specifying the content of the special game to be set in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Here, Table 7 is an example of a special symbol content reference table. In Table 7, “7A and 7B” is a high-profit special game that can win many balls. On the other hand, “1A, 1B, 3A, 3B, 2A, 2B, 4A, 4B” is a low-profit special game that hardly obtains a ball. Here, when “1A, 1B, 3A, 3B” and “2A, 2B, 4A, 4B” are compared, the number of rounds, the maximum duration of one round, the release mode of one round, etc. are internally different. It looks exactly the same opening pattern.

Next, the specific game control means 1180 includes a specific game availability / content determination means 1183 that determines the content of the specific game, and a specific game end condition determination means 1181 that determines whether or not the specific game state end condition is satisfied. And a specific game related information temporary storage means 1182 for temporarily storing information (flag or the like) related to the specific game. Here, the specific game availability / content determination means 1183 relates to a special game specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183a which is referred to when determining whether or not to shift to a specific game related to a special game, and the normal game. It further includes a general-specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183b which is referred to when determining whether or not the specific game can be transferred and its contents. Table 8 shows an example of a special figure specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183a (particularly a game state determination reference table).

  Here, before explaining the contents of Table 8, each gaming state in the best mode is organized. First, the “special figure probability variable game state” in the best mode refers to a state (the special figure probability variable flag is on) that has a higher probability of winning the transition to the special game than the “special figure normal game state”. In addition, the “special-time short game state” refers to a state in which the variation time of the special symbol is generally shorter than the “special-game normal game state” (the special-purpose time short flag is on). It should be noted that, under the special drawing short game state, in the best mode, the “normal drawing short flag” is also turned on. The “special drawing limitation frequency state” is a table that is originally referred to when the special symbol probability variation flag and / or the special symbol time reduction flag are in a predetermined state when determining the variation pattern of the special symbol a limited number of times. Refers to a state in which a different special table is referenced. For example, taking the table in Table 3 as an example, in the special figure probability variation game without time reduction (special figure probability variable flag on, special figure short time flag off), the two tables at the top of Table 3 are usually referred to. . However, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, a special figure probability changing state in a limited frequency state is entered even when a special figure probability variation game without a short time with a predetermined number of times as an upper limit (the third stage to the second stage in Table 3). 5 steps). Hereinafter, with reference to Table 8, the possibility of shifting the limited frequency, which is a feature of the present invention, will be described in detail.

{If you win a small win in the normal gaming state (at non-limited frequency)}
First, if you win a small hit in the “normal game state” that is not any specific game state (all of the special figure probability change flag, special figure short time flag and special figure limited frequency flag are off), the special figure limited frequency state Enter (the special figure limited frequency flag is turned on). Here, in the best mode, the limited frequency state to be changed is changed depending on the small hit symbol. Specifically, when the winning symbols are “2A” and “2B”, the state shifts to the special figure limited frequency A state (the special figure limited frequency A flag is on) (the top row in Table 8). . On the other hand, when the winning symbols are “4A” and “4B”, the special figure limited frequency B state that is more advantageous to the player than the special figure limited frequency A state (the special figure limited frequency B flag is on) (Second stage in Table 8). As will be described later in Table 9, when the special figure limited frequency flag is turned on, the normal figure limited frequency flag on the normal symbol side is also turned on in conjunction. For example, when the “special drawing limitation frequency A flag” is turned on, the “special drawing limitation frequency a flag” is turned on, and when the “special drawing limitation frequency B flag” is turned on, When the “limited frequency b flag” is turned on and the “special figure limited frequency C flag” is turned on, the “normal figure limited frequency c flag” is turned on.

{If you win a small win in the normal gaming state (limited frequency)}
Next, the special figure limited frequency state that is more advantageous when winning the small win in the “normal game state” (the special figure probability variable flag and the special figure short time flag are off and the special figure limited frequency flag is on) which is the limited frequency state The special figure limited frequency flag is turned on. Specifically, for example, if the winning symbol is “2A” and “2B” in the special figure limited frequency A state, the special figure limited frequency B state that is more advantageous to the player than the special figure limited frequency A state ( (The seventh figure in Table 8). Also, if the winning symbol is “2A” and “2B” in the special figure limited frequency B state, the special figure limited frequency C state (the special figure limited frequency C is advantageous to the player than the special figure limited frequency B state). (The state where the flag is on) (the 13th stage of Table 8).

First, in step 1102, the general-purpose start entrance ball determining unit 1113 determines whether or not a game ball enters (inflow, passes) the general-purpose start entrance 2410. In the case of Yes in step 1102, in step 1104, the common random number acquisition determination execution means 1123 refers to the general figure hold information temporary storage means 1133a, and determines whether or not the number of held balls is not the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1104, in step 1106, the normal random number acquisition determination execution means 1123 acquires the normal symbol winning random number. Then, in step 1108, the general figure holding means 1133 adds 1 to the holding ball in the form of setting the random number in the general figure holding information temporary storage means 1133a together with the order information indicating the number of holdings. The process proceeds to (game content determination random number acquisition process 1300). In addition, also when it is No in step 1102 and step 1104, it transfers to the following process (game content determination random number acquisition process 1300).

  Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the game content determination random number acquisition process according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. First, in step 1302, the first special figure start port entrance judging means 1111 receives the first special figure start entrance entrance information from the first special figure start entrance entrance detection device 2211 of the first special figure start port 2210. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the first special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 refers to the first special figure reservation information temporary storage means 1131a, and determines whether or not the number of reserved balls is not the upper limit (for example, four). Determine. In the case of Yes in step 1304, in step 1306 and step 1308, the first special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 determines the first game content determination random number (first winning random number, first variation mode determination random number, first special symbol determination). Random number, etc.) and the first special figure holding means 1131 stores the first game content determination random number in the first special figure holding information temporarily together with the order information indicating what number of the first special symbol is held. Set in the means 1131a. Next, in step 1309, the information transmission means 1300 refers to the first special figure hold information temporary storage means 1131a, and obtains information as to what number of hold the random number is stored for the first special symbol. At the same time, the information is transmitted to the effect control means 2320 side. Next, in step 1310, the second special figure starting port entrance determining means 1112 receives the second special figure starting port entrance information from the second special figure starting port entrance detecting device 2111 of the second special figure starting port 2110. It is determined whether or not it has been received. In the case of Yes in step 1310, in step 1312, the second special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1122 refers to the second special figure reservation information temporary storage means 1132a, and whether or not the number of the reserved balls is not the upper limit (for example, four). Determine. In the case of Yes in step 1312, in step 1314 and step 1316, the second special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1122 determines the second game content determination random number (second winning random number, second variation mode determination random number, second special symbol determination). Random number), and the second special figure holding means 1132 stores the second game content determination random number in the second special figure holding information temporary storage means together with the order information indicating what number of the second special symbol is held. Set to 1132a. Next, in step 1317, the information transmission means 1300 refers to the second special figure hold information temporary storage means 1132a, and acquires information as to what number of hold the random number is stored for the second special symbol. At the same time, the information is transmitted to the display control means 2320 side, and the process proceeds to the next process (electric drive driving determination process 1200). In the case of No in step 1302 and step 1304, the process proceeds to step 1310, and in the case of No in step 1310 and step 1312, the process proceeds to the next process (electric drive driving determination process 1200).

  Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the electric drive driving determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1202, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a and determines whether or not the electric chew release flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the normal chart control means 1154 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a to determine whether or not the normal symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the ordinary figure content determining means 1143 refers to the ordinary figure holding information temporary storage means 1133a and determines whether or not there is a holding ball related to the normal symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1208, the general symbol content determination means 1143 determines the stop symbol based on the normal symbol random number based on the reserved ball and the gaming state. Specifically, when the normal time flag is off, the general figure stop symbol determination lottery table 1143a-1 for the normal game normal game is referred to, and when the normal time flag is on, the normal time flag is on. The stop symbol of the normal symbol is determined with reference to the lottery table 1143a-1 for determining the normal symbol for the short-time game (see Table 4). Next, in step 1210, the normal time fluctuation time management means 1154a sets a predetermined time in the normal time fluctuation management timer 1154a-1 based on the gaming state. Specifically, when both the normal map time reduction flag and the normal map limited frequency flag are off, the general map change mode determination reference table 1143a-2 in the normal map normal game is referred to, Is turned on, the reference change table 1143a-2 for determining the normal figure variation mode at the time of the normal figure short game is referred to, and when the special figure limited frequency flag is on, the normal figure change at the normal figure limited frequency game With reference to the mode determination reference table 1143a-2, the variation mode (variation time) of the normal symbol is determined (Table 5). For example, in the example shown in Table 5, the fluctuation time is 30 seconds in the normal game normal game state, the fluctuation time is 10 seconds in the normal figure limited frequency a state, and the variable time in the normal game short game state and the normal figure limited frequency b state. Is set to 5 seconds, and the fluctuation time is set to 1 second in the usual figure limited frequency c state. Then, in step 1212, the normal figure control means 1154 turns on the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193 a. Next, in step 1214, the general-purpose holding means 1133 updates the holding information recorded in the general-purpose holding information temporary storage means 1133a after subtracting 1 from the reserved ball related to the normal symbol, and the normal-purpose control means. 1154 starts a normal symbol variation display on the universal symbol display unit 2421 after starting the common symbol variation management timer 1154a-1. Next, in step 1216, the common figure fluctuation time management means 1154a refers to the common figure fluctuation management timer 1154a-1 and determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1216, in step 1218, the general map control means 1154 confirms and displays the stop symbol determined by the general map content determination means 1143 in step 1208 on the general map display unit 2421. Then, in step 1220, the common figure control means 1154 turns off the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. Next, in step 1222, the condition determination means 1161 determines whether or not the stop symbol is “winning”. In the case of Yes in step 1222, in step 1224, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 sets the electric chew release time management timer 1162 for a predetermined time based on the gaming state when the normal symbol is stopped (current). Specifically, 3 seconds when the ordinary time flag is on, 0.5 seconds when the ordinary time flag is off, and 0 when the ordinary time limit a flag is on. 2 seconds, 2 seconds is set when the usual figure limited frequency b flag is on, and 2.5 seconds is set when the usual figure limited frequency c flag is on (see Table 6). Next, in step 1226, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 turns on the electric chew release flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. In step 1228, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 opens the second special figure start port electric accessory 2112 of the second special figure start port 2110. Next, in step 1230, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the electric chew opening time management timer 1162 and determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in Step 1230, in Steps 1232 and 1234, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 closes the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 of the second special figure start opening 2110 and temporarily turns the auxiliary game related information temporarily. The electric chew release flag in the storage means 1193a is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (normal game process 14).

  If No in Step 1202, the process proceeds to Step 1230. If No in Step 1204, the process proceeds to Step 1216. If No in Step 1206, Step 1216, Step 1222, and Step 1230, the next process (normal game) is performed. Move to processing 14).

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the normal game control process according to the subroutine of step 14 in FIG. First, in step 1400 (1), main controller 1000 executes a first special symbol display process which will be described later. Next, in step 1400 (2), main controller 1000 executes a second special symbol display process described later. In step 1500, main controller 1000 executes a special game operation condition determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next step (special game control process 16).

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the first special symbol display process and the second special symbol display process according to the subroutine of steps 1400 (1) and (2) in FIG. Since this process is common to the first special symbol side and the second special symbol side, the first special symbol side will be mainly described, unless otherwise specified, and the second special symbol side will be written in parentheses. Describe. First, in step 1800, main controller 1000 executes variation start condition satisfaction determination processing described later. Next, in step 1402, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) determines whether or not the variation start permission flag relating to the first special symbol (second special symbol) is on. Determine. The “variation start permission flag” is a flag that is turned on in a variation start condition satisfaction determination process, which will be described later, and that is turned on under the condition that a special game or a special symbol is not changing. In the case of Yes in step 1402, in step 1403, the first special figure content determination means 1141 (second special figure content determination means 1142) accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage means 1190, and the first special symbol (first 2) The variation start permission flag relating to 2 special symbols) is turned off. Next, in step 1404, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) stores the first special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1131a (second special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1132a). The first game content determination random number (second game content determination random number) relating to the current symbol variation stored temporarily is read. Next, in step 1406, the winning / losing lottery means 1135 uses the first game content determination random number (first winning random number) {second game content determining random number (second winning random number)} and the game state for the first special figure. With reference to the success / failure lottery table 1135b-1 (second special figure success / failure lottery table 1135b-3), a special symbol success / failure (big hit, small hit) lottery is executed. In the best mode, the big win and the small win lottery are executed using the same lottery table. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, at the time of winning or failing lottery, the jackpot lottery may be executed by referring to the jackpot lottery table first. Good. Further, the lottery lottery may be executed with reference to the lottery lottery table first, and the lottery lottery may be executed even when the lottery is lost or hit. In step 1408, the special game transition determining unit 1135a determines whether or not the lottery result is a win. In the case of Yes in step 1408, in step 1410, the special game transition determining means 1135a turns on the winning flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). On the other hand, if step 1408 is No, step 1410 is skipped.

  In step 1412, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) in the first special figure content determination lottery table 1141 a (second special figure content determination lottery table 1142 a). Referring to each lottery table, the first game content determination random number (for example, first special symbol determination random number, first variation mode determination random number) {second game content determination random number (for example, second special symbol determination random number, second variation) The stop symbol and the variation mode regarding the first special symbol (second special symbol) are determined based on the mode determination random number)}, and these are determined as the first special symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b (second special graphic information temporary storage unit 1192b). Temporarily store. The table to be referred to is determined based on the result of the success / failure and the gaming state (probability variation gaming state and limited frequency gaming state) (and so on). Next, in step 1414, the information transmitting means 1300 performs effect control on the symbol information (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) related to the first special symbol (second special symbol) determined in step 1412. It transmits to the means 2320 side. Next, in step 1416, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) sets the predetermined time {the fluctuation time according to the fluctuation mode determined in step 1412} to the first special figure. It is set to the fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1). Then, in step 1418, the first special symbol control means 1151 (second special symbol control means 1152) makes the first special symbol display unit 2131 (second special symbol display device 2230 second of the second special symbol display device 2230) of the first special symbol display device 2130. On the special figure display unit 2231), the special symbol fluctuation display is started according to the fluctuation mode stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b). Next, in step 1420, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) turns on the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a).

  In step 1422, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) determines whether or not a predetermined time has been reached. Here, in the case of No in step 1422, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500). On the other hand, if Yes in step 1422, in step 1424, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a command indicating that the predetermined time has been reached to the effect control unit 2320 side. Next, in step 1426, the first special symbol control unit 1151 (second special symbol control unit 1152) causes the first special symbol display unit 2131 of the first special symbol display device 2130 (the second special symbol display device 2230 of the first special symbol display unit 2230). 2) Special symbol display on 2 special figure display unit 2231) is stopped, and the stop symbol stored in first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b) is confirmed and stopped. Display control as.

  Next, in step 1438, the game control means 1100 refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a) and determines whether or not the winning flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1438, in step 1440, the game control unit 1100 turns off the winning flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a). Next, in step 1446, the game control means 1100 turns on the special game execution permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and proceeds to step 1428. In the case of No in step 1438, the process proceeds to step 1428.

  Next, in step 1428, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) is in step 1428, and the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) is the first flag. The changing flag in the temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a) is turned off. Then, in step 1430, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) performs first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-). 1) is reset. Next, in step 1450, main controller 1000 executes a specific game end determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500).

  In the case of No in step 1402, in step 1432 the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) sets the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). It is determined whether or not the changing flag is on. If Yes in step 1432, the process proceeds to step 1422, and if No, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500).

  Next, FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the variation start condition satisfaction determination process related to the first special symbol and the second special symbol according to the subroutine of steps 1800 (1) and (2) in FIG. First, in step 1802, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining means 1138 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, respectively, and determines whether or not the special game is being played. In the case of Yes in step 1802, in step 1804, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 accesses the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190 and determines whether or not the first special symbol and the second special symbol are currently changing. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1804, in step 1808, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 determines whether or not there is a preferential digest side hold, that is, a second special symbol side hold in this example. In the case of Yes in Step 1808, in Step 1810, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination means 1138 accesses the special digest information temporary storage means (second special graphic information temporary storage means 1192b), and the priority digest side temporary storage means 1192b. The variation start permission flag related to the second special symbol is turned on, and the process proceeds to the next process (step 1402). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1808 (when there is no hold on the priority digest side), in step 1812, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination unit 1138 determines whether there is a hold on the non-prior digestion side. . In the case of Yes in step 1812, in step 1814, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 turns on the variation permission flag relating to the first special symbol on the non-priority digest side, and proceeds to the next processing (step 1402). Note that the process proceeds to the next process (step 1402) also in the case of No in step 1802 or step 1804.

  Next, FIG. 12 is a flowchart of specific game end determination processing according to the subroutine of steps 1450 (1) and (2) in FIG. First, in step 1451, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the flag area of the game state temporary storage means 1190, and determines whether or not the special figure probability changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1451, in step 1452, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the special figure short time counter 1181 a and determines whether or not the special figure short time counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1454, the specific game control means 1180 subtracts 1 from the short time counter value of the special figure short time counter 1181a. Next, at step 1456, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the special figure short time counter 1181a to determine whether or not the special figure short time counter is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1456, in step 1458, the specific game control unit 1180 turns off the special figure time reduction flag in the game state temporary storage unit 1190. Further, in step 1459, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the normal time reduction flag in the game state temporary storage means 1190. Thus, in the best mode, the normal symbol time reduction flag is configured to be linked with the special symbol time reduction flag. This completes the end processing of the short-time game (the special symbol time-short game and the normal symbol time-short game linked with this special game time-short game).

  Next, in step 1460, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means 1182 to determine whether any of the special figure limitation frequency flags A to C is on. . In the case of Yes in step 1460, in step 1462, the specific game control means 1180 decrements the counter value of the special figure limited frequency counter 1181b by 1. Next, in step 1464, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the special figure limited frequency counter 1181b and determines whether or not the counter value is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1464, in step 1466, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the special figure limitation frequency flag in the game state temporary storage means 1190. Further, in step 1467, the specific game control means 1180 accesses the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means 1182 and turns off the corresponding usual figure limited frequency flag. However, as described later, they may be independent from each other (see the modification example). As described above, in the best mode, the normal symbol limited frequency flag is configured to be linked with the special symbol limited frequency flag. In step 1468, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits the limited frequency end information to the sub-board (effect control unit 2320) side. The special symbol limited frequency game ending process is thus completed.

  In the case of No in step 1451, step 1452, and step 1456, the process proceeds to step 1460, and in the case of No in step 1460 and step 1464, the process proceeds to step 1474.

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of special game operation condition determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the condition determination unit 1171 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and determines whether or not the special game execution permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the condition determination unit 1171 turns off the special game execution permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Next, in step 1506, the special game content determination unit 1172 sets the content of the special game in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 by referring to the special game content reference table 1172a based on the predetermined mode. . In step 1507, the specific game control unit 1180 temporarily stores the current game state (the game state immediately before shifting to the special game) in the specific game related information temporary storage unit 1182, and proceeds to step 1508. This game state information is used when determining the game state after the end of the special game. This completes the special game content setting process.

  Next, in step 1508, the specific game end condition determining unit 1181 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and determines whether or not the current hit is not a small hit. In the case of Yes in step 1508, in step 1510, the specific game end condition determining means 1181 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage means 1190, and determines whether or not the special figure probability changing flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1510, in step 1512, the specific game end condition determining means 1181 turns off the special figure probability changing flag in the flag area of the game state temporary storage means 1190.

  Next, in step 1516, the specific game end condition determining unit 1181 accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190, and determines whether or not the special figure time reduction flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1516, in step 1518, the specific game end condition determination means 1181 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage means 1190 and turns off the special figure time reduction flag. In step 1520, the specific game end condition determining means 1181 clears the special figure short time counter 1181b to set the short time to zero. Furthermore, the specific game end condition determining unit 1181 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage unit 1190, turns off the normal time flag, and proceeds to Step 1522. With the above, the time-short state temporary termination process is terminated. Note that if the result is No in step 1522, the process proceeds to step 1522.

  Next, in step 1522, the specific game end condition determining unit 1181 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage unit 1190, and determines whether any of the special figure limited frequencies A to C is on. . In the case of Yes in step 1522, in step 1524, the specific game end condition determination unit 1181 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage unit 1190 and turns off the special figure limitation frequency flag. In step 1526, the specific game end condition determining unit 1181 clears the special figure limitation frequency counter 1181b and sets the limitation frequency to 0. Further, in step 1527, the specific game end condition determining means 1181 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage means 1190, turns off the corresponding usual figure limited frequency flag, and proceeds to step 1528. With the above, the end processing of the limited frequency state (special drawing limiting frequency, universal drawing limiting frequency) is ended. In the case of No in step 1522, the process proceeds to step 1528.

  After finishing the above processing, in step 1528, the condition determination means 1171 turns on the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and proceeds to the next processing (special game control processing in step 1600). Transition. Even in the case of No in step 1502, the process proceeds to the next process (special game control process in step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in step 1604 and step 1606, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and turns on the special game execution flag. Next, in step 1608, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a special game start signal to the effect control unit 2320 side, and the process proceeds to step 1612. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1602, in step 1610, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 1610, the process proceeds to step 1612. In the case of No in step 1610, the special game executing means 1173 determines that the special game permission has not been granted, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000).

  Next, in step 1612, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and whether or not the round continuation flag is on, in other words, whether or not the round is in the middle. Determine. If Yes in step 1612, that is, if the round is in the middle, the process proceeds to step 1626 without performing the processes of steps 1614 to 1622 described in detail below. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1612, that is, immediately before the start of the round, first, in step 1614, the special game execution unit 1173 sets the release pattern (for example, release) set in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Set the opening pattern to continue and the pattern to open and close. Next, in step 1616, the special game executing means 1173 clears the winning ball counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 to zero. Next, in step 1618, the special game executing means 1173 adds 1 to the round number counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Note that the number of rounds stored in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 is 0 immediately after the start of the special game (initial value), and is incremented by 1 each time a round is repeated thereafter. Next, in step 1620, the special game executing means 1173 turns on the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. In step 1622, the special game execution unit 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 and confirms which of the first grand prize winning port 2120 or the second grand prize winning port 2220 is to be opened. The first grand prize port 2120 or the second grand prize port 2220 is driven by driving the first grand prize port electric role 2122 or the second big prize port electric role 2222, and the first big prize port 2120 or the second grand prize port. 2220 is released and the process proceeds to step 1626.

  Next, in step 1626, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 to determine whether or not there are predetermined balls (for example, 10 balls) in the round. If Yes in step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1630. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1626, in step 1628, the special game execution unit 1173 refers to the special game management timer 1174a (particularly, an open time timer) and determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. Also in the case of Yes in step 1628, the process proceeds to step 1630, and in the case of No, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000).

  Next, in step 1630, the special game execution means 1173 drives the first big prize opening electric member 2122 or the second big prize opening electric member 2222 of the first big prize port 2120 or the second big prize port 2220. It stops and closes the 1st grand prize opening 2120 or the 2nd big prize opening 2220. In step 1632, the special game executing means 1173 resets a special game management timer 1174a (particularly, an opening time timer). Next, in step 1634, the special game executing means 1173 turns off the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1636, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and the round is the final round (for example, 9 rounds for big wins, 1 round for small wins). It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1636, in step 1638, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game execution flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1640, the information transmission means 1300 transmits a special game end signal to the effect control means 2320 side. In step 9000, the game control means 1100 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000). Even in the case of No in step 1636, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000).

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the game state determination processing after the special game according to the subroutine of Step 9000 in FIG. First, in step 9002, the specific game control unit 1180 refers to the game state temporary storage unit 1190 to acquire the symbol information that has been the trigger for this time, and refers to the specific game related information temporary storage unit 1182. The normal game state information of this time (information temporarily stored in step 1507 in FIG. 13) is acquired. Next, in step 9004, the specific game control means 1180 determines the special figure game state with reference to the special figure specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183 a based on the information acquired in step 9002, and temporarily stores the game state. The determined special figure game state is set in the storage means 1190. Next, in step 9006, the specific game control means 1180 determines the general game state by referring to the general table specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183b based on the special game state information determined in step 9004. Then, the determined ordinary game state is set in the game state temporary storage means 1190. In step 9008, the specific game control unit 1180 receives the winning symbol information temporarily stored in the game state temporary storage unit 1190 and the current normal game state information temporarily stored in the specific game related information temporary storage unit 1182. Is cleared and the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, the flow of processing on the sub-board side of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. First, FIG. 16 is a main flowchart showing the flow of general processing performed by the effect control means 2320. First, in step 7100, the effect control means 2320 executes a hold information management / hold display process to be described later. Next, in steps 6100 (1) and (2), the effect control unit 2320 executes first and second decorative symbol display content determination processing described later. Next, in Steps 6200 (1) and (2), the effect control means 2320 executes first and second decorative symbol display control processing described later. In step 6300, the effect control means 2320 executes a special game (during big hit) display control process, which will be described later, and repeats the process of returning to step 6400. Hereinafter, processing related to each subroutine will be described in detail.

  First, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the hold information management / hold display process according to the subroutine of Step 7100 in FIG. First, in step 7102, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322 b refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2321 a and determines whether or not hold information is received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 7102, in step 7104, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322 b adds 1 to the drawing hold counter value in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322 b-1. In step 7105, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b displays the same number of hold as the drawing hold counter value in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1, and the next processing {step 6100 (1) The process proceeds to the first decorative symbol display content determination process}. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 7102, in step 7106, the drawing hold information display control means 2322b refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a, and whether or not new symbol information has been received from the main controller 1000 side. Determine. If Yes in step 7106, in step 7108, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b subtracts 1 from the drawing hold counter value in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1. In step 7110, the effect control means 2320 accesses the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, turns on the symbol content determination permission flag, and proceeds to step 7105.

  Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of step 6400 in FIG. Here, since step 6100 (1) related to the first decorative design and step 6100 (2) related to the second decorative design are common, both will be described together. First, in step 6102, the drawing display content determination unit 2322 a-1 refers to the main-side information temporary storage unit 2321 a and determines whether new symbol information has been received from the main control board 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6102, in step 6104, the drawing display content determination means 2322 a-1 is based on the symbol information received in step 6102 and the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2322 a-1-1 and stop symbol determination. With reference to the lottery table 2322a-1-2, the decoration pattern variation mode and the stop symbol are determined. In step 6106, the drawing display content determination unit 2322a-1 accesses the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c, turns on the symbol content determination flag, and performs the next process {step 6200 (1). The process proceeds to the first decorative symbol display control process}.

  Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of steps 6200 (1) and (2) in FIG. Here, since step 6200 (1) related to the first decorative design and step 6200 (2) related to the second decorative design are common, both will be described together. First, in step 6202, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and determines whether or not the symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 6202, in step 6204, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322a and determines whether or not the symbol content determination flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 6204, in step 6206 and step 6208, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a turns on the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and sets the symbol content determination flag. Turn off. Next, in step 6210, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a follows the determined contents temporarily stored in the symbol related information area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c on the drawing display unit 2311 of the effect display device 2310. Starts variable display of decorative symbols.

  In step 6212, the decorative symbol display control unit 2322 a refers to the main-side information temporary storage unit 2121 a and determines whether or not a fixed display command has been received from the main control device 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6212, in step 6214, the decoration symbol display control means 2322a follows the determination contents (stop symbols) temporarily stored in the symbol related information area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. The stop symbol of the decorative symbol is fixedly displayed on the display unit 2311. In step 6216, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a turns off the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and proceeds to the next process (special game display control process in step 6300). Transition.

  If NO in step 6202, the process proceeds to step 6212. If NO in step 6204 and step 6212, the process proceeds to the next process (special game display control process in step 6300).

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the special game (during jackpot) display control process according to the subroutine of step 6300 in FIG. First, in step 6302, the display control means 2322 refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and determines whether or not the special game flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 6302, in step 6304, the display control unit 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2321a and determines whether or not a special game start signal has been received from the main control device 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6304, in step 6306 and step 6308, the display control means 2322 turns on the special game flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and makes a big hit on the effect display device 2310. Start display. In step 6310, the display control means 2322 sequentially displays the number of rounds and the number of winnings on the effect display device 2310 based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main control device 1000 side in step 1624. Next, in Step 6312, the display control means 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2121a and determines whether or not a special game end signal has been received from the main control apparatus 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6312, in step 6314, the display control unit 2322 performs jackpot end display on the effect display device 2310. In step 6316, the display control means 2322 turns off the special gaming flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and proceeds to the next process (hold information management / hold display control process in step 7100). Transition. If NO in step 6302, the process proceeds to step 6310. If NO in step 6304 and step 6312, the process proceeds to the next process (holding information management / holding display control process in step 7100).

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described with reference to FIG. In the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode, a plurality of limited frequency states (ordinary figures) with different normal symbol changing times and opening times of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 are triggered by winning a small hit. (Limited frequency ac state). And if it wins a small hit in a limited frequency state, it will shift to a limited frequency state that is more advantageous for the player. This will be specifically described below.

  First of all, if you win a small win in a normal game state that is not in probability fluctuation games or time-reduced games (that is, a game state in which all of the special figure probability change flag, special figure short time flag, and normal figure short time flag are off) The normal gaming state shifts to a limited frequency state in which the normal symbol variation time is shorter than that in the normal gaming state. Here, in this best mode, when the small hit symbol is “2A, 2B”, the state shifts to the special figure limited frequency A state (+ in conjunction with this, the normal map limited frequency a state), and the small hit symbol is Is “4A, 4B”, the state shifts to the special figure limited frequency B state (+ in conjunction with this, the normal figure limited frequency b state). The normal figure limited frequency b state is more advantageous for the player because the normal symbol variation time is shorter than the normal figure limited frequency a state and the opening time of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 is long. is there.

  Next, when a small win is won in the limited frequency state, the normal frequency shifts to a limited frequency state with a shorter variation time. For example, when the small winning symbol “2A, 2B” is won while staying in the normal figure limited frequency a state, the transition to the normal figure limited frequency b state where the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is shorter than the normal figure limited frequency a state. . Furthermore, when the small winning symbol “4A, 4B” is won while staying in the normal figure limited frequency a state, the normal symbol fluctuation time is shorter than the normal figure limited frequency a state and the normal figure limited frequency b state. Transition to the limited frequency c state. In this best mode, the opening time of the second special figure start port electric accessory 2112 becomes longer as the normal map limited frequency state changes from a → b → c.

  In the best mode, since the game ball hardly enters the second special figure starting port 2110 in the normal gaming state, the first special figure starting port 2210 is first inserted into the first special figure starting port 2210. It is necessary to win a small hit on the special symbol side. However, as can be seen from Table 1, in the present best mode, the first special symbol is less likely to hit a small hit than the second special symbol. Under such circumstances, when the first special symbol side wins a small win, the player enters a normal map limited frequency state. Under this state, it is easier to enter the second special figure starting port 2110 than in the normal gaming state. Under such circumstances, when a game ball enters the second special figure starting port 2110, as can be seen from Table 1, it is easier to win the second special symbol than the first special symbol. Therefore, once entering the limited frequency state, it is easier to win a small hit in a situation where the user stays in the state. Then, when a small win is won under the limited frequency state, the system shifts to a more advantageous limited frequency state as described above.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times under the limited frequency state, it is configured to return from the limited frequency state to the normal gaming state (for example, the general map limited frequency state a = 10 times, the general graphic limited frequency state b = 50 times, usual figure limited frequency state c = 100 times). Therefore, when it is desired to continue the limited frequency, the key is how to continue to draw the small hits during the limited frequency. As described above, even if the jackpot cannot be won for a long period of time, it is possible to alleviate the stubborn state where the jackpot cannot be won by efficiently pulling the jackpot.

  In this way, it is possible to shift to a more advantageous general map limited frequency state by drawing a small hit during the general map limited frequency state. As described above, the winning probability of the normal symbol in the normal figure limited frequency state is the same as that in the normal figure normal game state (Tables 4 and 6). However, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol in the normal figure limited frequency state is shorter than that in the normal figure normal game state (Table 5). Moreover, the normal symbol variation time becomes shorter as the ordinary figure limited frequency state ranks up (the ordinary figure limited frequency c <the usual figure limited frequency b <the usual figure limited frequency a <the usual figure normal game). Furthermore, the opening time of the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 also becomes longer as the ordinary figure limited frequency state is ranked up. In other words, in the normal-limited-frequency gaming state, the opening time of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 per unit period is relatively longer than in the normal-ordinary normal gaming state. In other words, it can be said that the opening time of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 per unit period can be changed even if it is not big hit, based on the stop pattern of the special figure that has become the trigger for the usual figure limited frequency.

  According to this best mode, with the big hit, the main game side identification information probability variation game, the main game side identification information time shortening game and the auxiliary game side identification information probability variation game will be shifted to the first specific game, In a pachinko gaming machine that is configured not to shift to the first specific game as an opportunity, if a small win is won, an auxiliary game in which the time of identification information for auxiliary games is shortened for a predetermined period after the small win Side identification information time-reducing game and / or auxiliary game side open extended game state in which the opening time of the variable member is extended, so it is compulsorily under the situation that won't continue to win the jackpot for a long time In addition to being able to take relief measures against players in a way that does not cause unfairness compared to cases where jackpots are awarded, etc. Since or are triggered by an effect that it is possible to creation of new value to small hit.

  Further, when the small bonus is won during the second specific game state, the auxiliary game side variable member in which the change time of the auxiliary game identification information is further shortened and / or the release time of the variable member is further shortened. Since it is configured to shift to an open extension game, it has an effect that it is possible to create further new value with respect to small hits in that it becomes an opportunity to be ranked up.

  In addition, when the main game side shifts to a different variable time selection game state (second specific game state on the main game side) that is selected on the main game side, which is different from the normal game time, in conjunction with this And since it is comprised so that it may transfer to a 2nd specific game also on the auxiliary game side, there exists an effect that it becomes possible to maintain the superiority / inferiority relationship of a main game and an auxiliary game like a conventional machine.

  Furthermore, in a conventional gaming machine having at least two functions of the first type, it is difficult to win a small hit in the normal game state on the auxiliary game side, but in the case of winning a small win, the auxiliary game first time is shortened. When the game state and / or the auxiliary game variable member open extended game, it becomes easy to enter the first starting port for the main game, and in such a state, it is easier to win a small hit than the normal game state and wins Since it is configured to be a more advantageous auxiliary game second time shortening game state and / or an auxiliary game variable member opening extension game, it can be ranked up with a small hit based on entering a different start opening as an opportunity There is an effect that a profit addition can be realized.

  In addition, when the main game side shifts to a different variable time selection game state (second specific game state on the main game side) that is selected on the main game side, which is different from the normal game time, in conjunction with this And since it is comprised so that it may transfer to a 2nd specific game also on the auxiliary game side, there exists an effect that it becomes possible to maintain the superiority / inferiority relationship of a main game and an auxiliary game like a conventional machine.

  Next, a modified example of the best mode will be described. In the best mode, the game state of the normal symbol is changed in a manner linked with the game state of the special symbol, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in this best mode, regarding the transition frequency of limited frequency, the special figure limited frequency flag is turned on when the small hit ends, and the universal figure limited frequency flag is turned on when the flag is turned on. On the other hand, the limited frequency end timing is also configured to turn off the general figure limited frequency flag when the special figure limited frequency flag is turned off. However, the transition timing and / or the termination timing of the usual figure limited frequency may be made independent of the gaming state on the special symbol side. For example, as an example of the transition to the usual figure limited frequency, an example can be given in which the usual figure limited frequency flag is turned on regardless of the gaming state on the special symbol side with a small hit as an opportunity. Further, as an example of the end of the regular symbol limited frequency, an example can be given in which the termination is performed when the number of changes of the normal symbol reaches a predetermined number instead of the number of changes of the special symbol.

  The following modification will be described. In this best mode, when a special symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times in a certain normal figure limited frequency state, it is configured to shift (fall) to another state (in this example, a normal gaming state) that is more disadvantageous than that state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and even when a predetermined small hitting symbol (falling small hitting symbol) is won under a certain normal figure limited frequency state, another state (for example, a normal gaming state) that is more disadvantageous than that state ).

  The following modification will be described. In the best mode, the opening time of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 is changed based on the game state on the normal symbol side (see Table 6). On the other hand, the opening time may be determined not in the gaming state or in combination with the gaming state. For example, the example which allocates the open time of the 2nd special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 in the form tied with a winning symbol is mentioned. Specifically, in the best mode, the winning time for the small hit symbol “4A” or “4B” is longer than the winning time for the small hit symbol “2A” or “2B” (for example, For example, the former is 2 seconds and the latter is 1 second).
