In addition, the normal variation display game cannot be started, for example, the normal variation display game has already been played and the normal variation display game has not been completed, If the game ball passes through the first and second universal chart start gates 21A and 21B when 25 is converted to the open state, the number of universal chart start memories is less than the upper limit number of the usual chart start memories. One is added and one ordinary start memory is stored. Note that the start memory of the normal map change display game is displayed on the general memory display 20 having LEDs. For example, as shown in FIG. When the number is “1”, the upper LED is lit, and when the starting memory number is “2”, the lower LED is also lit. When the starting memory number is “3”, the upper LED blinks, and when the starting memory number is “4”, the lower LED also blinks, so that the starting memory number can be determined. ing.

  It should be noted that the universal variation display game may be displayed in a part of the display area of the liquid crystal display device 50, and in this case, for example, decorative symbols such as numbers, symbols, and character symbols are used as identification symbols. This is performed by displaying the change for a predetermined time and then stopping the display. Similarly, the start memory number of the variable display game of decorative normal symbols may be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 50.

Then, if the stop display of the normal fluctuation display game becomes a special result mode, the open / close members 25b and 25b of the normal fluctuation prize winning device 25 are operated for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds).
Opened. Thereby, it becomes easy to win a game ball in the normal variation winning device 25, and the second special figure variation display game can be easily started.

  Inside the first starting port 24, a first special figure starting port sensor 24a (see FIG. 3) is provided. Based on the detection of the game ball by the first special figure starting port sensor 24a, the right to start the first special figure variation display game as an auxiliary game is generated.

  A second special figure start port sensor 25a (see FIG. 3) is provided inside the normal variation winning device 25. Based on the detection of the game ball by the second special figure starting port sensor 25a, the right to start the second special figure variation display game as an auxiliary game is generated.

The normal variation winning device 25 is disposed below the first start port 24 and includes a pair of left and right opening / closing members 25b and 25b.
The pair of opening / closing members 25b, 25b always maintain a closed state (an unfavorable state for the player) with an interval of about the diameter of the game ball, and the upper portion is closed by the first start port 24. Thus, the normal variation winning device 25 cannot accept the game ball. On the other hand, when the result of the general-purpose variable display game is in a predetermined stop display mode, the game ball is received in the shape of a reverse “C” by the general electric power SOL 25c (see FIG. 3) as the driving device. It is possible to convert the game ball into a state in which the game ball can easily flow into the normal variation winning device 25 (a state advantageous to the player).

  The start right to start the first special figure variation display game and the second special figure variation display game is stored as a start memory (special figure start memory) within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). Therefore, when the first special figure variation display game can be started and the number of start memories is 0, and a game ball wins the first start port 24, the start memory is stored as the start right is generated. Then, when the start memory number is incremented by 1, the first special figure variation display game is immediately started based on the start memory, and at this time, the start memory number is decremented by 1.

On the other hand, a state in which the first special figure fluctuation display game cannot be started immediately, for example, a state in which the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game has already been performed and the special figure fluctuation display game has not ended. In the special game state, when a game ball wins the first start port 24, if the start memory number is less than the upper limit number, the start memory number is incremented by 1 and one start memory is stored. become. Then, when the start memory number becomes 1 or more and the first special figure variation display game is ready to start (the end of the previous special figure variation display game or the end of the special game state), the start memory number is increased. 1 is subtracted, and the first special figure variation display game is started based on the stored start memory.
Note that the start memory of the first special figure variable display game is displayed on the first special figure memory display 12 equipped with LEDs, and is displayed in a predetermined area of the liquid crystal display device 50.

In addition, a state in which the second special figure fluctuation display game cannot be started immediately, for example, a state in which the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game has already been performed and the special figure fluctuation display game has not ended. In the special gaming state, when a game ball wins the normal variation winning device 25 that forms the second starting port, if the starting memory number is less than the upper limit number, the starting memory number is incremented by 1 and the starting memory is stored. One will be stored. Then, when the number of starting memories becomes 1 or more, when the state where the second special figure variation display game can be started (the end of the previous special figure variation display game or the end of the special gaming state) is reached, the number of starting memories is increased. 1 is subtracted and the second special figure variation display game is started based on the stored start memory.
The start memory of the second special figure variation display game is displayed on a second special figure memory display 13 equipped with LEDs, and is displayed in a predetermined area of the liquid crystal display device 50.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when the start memory number is “1” among the upper and lower LEDs, the upper LED is lit and the start memory of the first special figure variation display game is turned on. When “2” is “2”, the lower LED is also lit. When the starting memory number is “3”, the upper LED blinks, and when the starting memory number is “4”, the lower LED also blinks, so that the starting memory number can be determined. ing.
Similarly, in the start memory of the second special figure variation display game, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, when the start memory number is “1” among the upper and lower LEDs, the upper LED is lit. When the starting memory number is “2”, the lower LED is also lit. When the starting memory number is “3”, the upper LED blinks, and when the starting memory number is “4”, the lower LED also blinks, so that the starting memory number can be determined. ing.

The first special figure variation display game and the second special figure variation display game are not executed at the same time. Further, the second special figure variation display game is executed with priority over the first special figure variation display game. That is, when there is a start memory of the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game, and the special figure fluctuation display game can be executed, the second special figure fluctuation display game is It is supposed to be executed.
In addition, as will be described later, the special result derived in the second special figure variation display game is more advantageous for the player after the end of the special gaming state than the special result derived in the first special figure variation display game. It is easy to become (short-time operation state).

The first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game are executed by the first special figure display 22A and the second special figure display 22B, and a plurality of pieces of identification information are variably displayed. After that, the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game are performed by stopping and displaying the predetermined result mode.
In addition, a decorative special figure fluctuation display game is executed in which a plurality of types of identification information (for example, numbers, symbols, character designs, etc.) are variably displayed on the liquid crystal display device 50 in correspondence with each special figure fluctuation display game. It has become. That is, the liquid crystal display device 50 displays a variable display game for performing variable display of a plurality of pieces of identification information as the variable display device.

Then, as a result of the special figure variation display game, if the display mode of the first special chart display 22A or the second special chart display 22B becomes a special result mode (for example, “7”), it is a big hit. Special gaming state (so-called jackpot state). Correspondingly, the display mode of the liquid crystal display device 50 is also a special result mode (for example, any one of the numbers in the flat order such as “7, 7, 7”).
The game machine 100 may not be provided with the first special figure display 22A and the second special figure display 22B, and the special figure variation display game may be executed only by the liquid crystal display device 50.

In addition, the gaming machine 100 of the first embodiment can generate a probability variation state (second probability state) as a gaming state based on the result mode of the special figure variation display game. This probability variation state is a state in which the probability of a hit result in the special figure variation display game is higher than the normal probability state (first probability state). In addition, the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display may be performed regardless of whether the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is in the result state of the special figure fluctuation display game. Both display games are in a probable state.
Note that the probability variation state and the short-time operation state can be generated independently, and both can be generated simultaneously, or only one can be generated.
