Further, the game machine 100 may not be provided with the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9, and the special figure variation display game may be executed only by the liquid crystal display device 43.
Further, the second special figure variation display game is executed with priority over the first special figure variation display game. That is, if there is a start memory of the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game, and the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game becomes possible, the second special figure fluctuation display game is It is supposed to be executed.

In addition, in a state where the first special figure fluctuation display game (second special figure fluctuation display game) can be started and the number of start memories is 0, the first start winning opening 13 (or the normal variable prize winning device 7). When the game ball wins, the start memory is stored as the start right is generated, the start memory number is incremented by 1, and the first special figure variable display game (second) is immediately added based on the start memory. The special figure variation display game) is started, 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 (second special figure fluctuation display game) cannot be started immediately, for example, the first or second special figure fluctuation display game has already been performed, and the special figure fluctuation display game has ended. If the game ball is won in the first start winning opening 13 (or the normal variable winning device 7) in a state that is not in a special state or a special game state, the start memory number is less than the upper limit number. 1 is added and one start-up memory is stored. Then, in a state where the starting memory number becomes 1 or more, a state where the first special figure variation display game (second special figure variation display game) can be started (the end of the previous special figure variation display game or the special game state (End), the start memory number is decremented by 1, and the first special figure fluctuation display game (second special figure fluctuation display game) is started based on the stored start memory.
In the following description, when the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game are not distinguished, they are simply referred to as a special figure fluctuation display game.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the gaming machine 100 performs a control related to various effects under the control of the game control device 30 serving as a game control means for controlling the progress of the game as its control system. Production control device 40 as a sub-control device, discharge control of prize balls or rental balls by the discharge device 51, and discharge / discharge control device 50 as a sub-control device that controls the launch of game balls by the launch device 52, power A power supply device 60 is provided.

  The game control device 30 includes a game microcomputer 31 having a CPU 31a, ROM 31b, RAM 31c, and the like, and outputs pulse signals for input / output interface (input / output I / F) 33, synchronization of various processes, timers, and the like. It is composed of a clock (CLK) 32 (oscillator) or the like.

  The CPU 31a includes a control unit and a calculation unit, and performs calculation control, as well as a big hit determination random number for a special figure variation display game, a big hit symbol random number for determining a big hit symbol, and a fluctuation pattern in the special figure fluctuation display game Various random numbers such as fluctuation pattern random numbers to determine (including the execution time of the variable display game in the variable display with various reach and non-reach), etc. .

  Here, the reach (reach state) includes the liquid crystal display device 43 whose display state can be changed, and the liquid crystal display device 43 derives and displays a plurality of display results at different times, and the plurality of display results. In the gaming machine 100 in which the gaming state becomes a gaming state advantageous to the player (special gaming state) when the game becomes a predetermined special result mode, some of the plurality of display results have not yet been derived and displayed. A display state in which a display result that has already been derived and displayed at a stage satisfies a condition that becomes a special result mode. In other words, the reach state refers to the display condition that is a special result mode even when the display control result of the liquid crystal display device 43 is advanced and the display result is derived and displayed. A display mode that is not deviated. For example, a state where so-called full-rotation reach is performed in a variable display region while maintaining a state in which special result modes are aligned (so-called full rotation reach) is also included in the reach state. The reach state is a display state at the time when the display control of the liquid crystal display device 43 progresses to reach a stage before the display result is derived and displayed, and is determined before the display result is derived and displayed. The display state in the case where at least a part of the display results of the plurality of variable display areas that are displayed satisfies the conditions for the special result mode.

  Thus, for example, a decorative special figure fluctuation display game displayed on the liquid crystal display device 43 corresponding to the special figure fluctuation display game has a plurality of predetermined times in each of the left, middle, and right fluctuation display areas in the liquid crystal display device 43. When the identification information is displayed in a variable manner and then the variable display is stopped and displayed in the order of left, right, and middle, and the result mode is displayed, the conditions for the special result mode are satisfied in the left and right variable display areas. A state in which the variable display is stopped in a state (for example, the same identification information) is a reach state. In addition to this, when the variable display of all the variable display areas is temporarily stopped, the condition that the special result mode is satisfied in any two of the left, middle, and right variable display areas (for example, the same The state in which the identification information is obtained (except for the special result mode) may be set as the reach state, and the remaining one variable display area may be variably displayed from the reach state. This reach state includes a plurality of reach effects, and normal reach, special reach 1, and special reach 2 are set as reach effects that differ in the possibility that a special result mode is derived (different in reliability). . The reliability increases in the order of no reach <normal reach <special reach 1 <special reach 2. In addition, this reach state is included in a variable display mode at least in a case where a special result mode is derived in a special figure variable display game (when a big hit is achieved). In other words, when it is determined that the special result mode is not derived in the special figure variable display game (when it is out of date), it may be included in the variable display mode. Therefore, the state in which the reach state has occurred is a state that is more likely to be a big hit than the case in which the reach state does not occur.

The RAM 31c stores a storage area for storing an ON signal of the first start opening SW13a provided in the first start winning opening 13 and the second start opening SW7d provided in the normal variation winning apparatus 7, and storage areas for various random numbers. And a work area of the CPU 31a.
In addition to the game control program and control data being written in the ROM 31b, the jackpot of the special figure variation display game for determining the occurrence of the big jackpot of the special figure fluctuation display game corresponding to the various random numbers described above. A determination value, a determination value of a variation pattern, and the like are stored. In addition, a hit determination value for the common map variation display game and a variation pattern for the common map variation display game are also stored.

Further, the input / output interface 33 is connected to the first start port SW13a, the second start port SW7d, the gate SW4a, the winning ports SW12a, 12a,. The frame opening SW 121, the discharge and emission control device 50, and the like are connected. The input / output interface 33 relays various signals input from these and outputs them to the CPU 31a.
The glass frame opening SW 146 detects that the clear member holding frame is opened, and the inner frame opening SW 121 detects that the front frame is opened.

Next, game control performed in these control circuits will be described.
The CPU 31a of the game microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 extracts a random number value for hit determination of the normal figure based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the gate SW4a provided in the normal start gate 4 and reads the ROM 31b. Is compared with the determination value stored in, and a process for determining whether or not the normal-game fluctuation display game is hit is performed. Then, after the identification symbol is variably displayed for a predetermined time on the general symbol display 5, a process for displaying a general symbol variation display game to be stopped is performed. When the result of the normal map variation display game is a win, a special result mode is displayed on the general map display 5 and the general power open / close SOL 7b is operated to open and close the open / close members 7a and 7a of the normal variable prize winning device 7. Time (for example, 0.3 seconds) is controlled to be released as described above.
In addition, when the result of the normal map change display game is out of order, control is performed to display the result form of the shift on the general map display 5.

Further, a start winning (starting memory) is stored based on an input of a game ball detection signal from a first starting port SW13a provided in the first starting winning port 13, and based on this start memory, a first special figure variation display is stored. A game jackpot determination random number value is extracted and compared with a determination value stored in the ROM 31b to perform a process of determining whether or not the first special figure variation display game is missed.
Further, the start memory is stored based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the second start port SW7d provided in the normal variation winning device 7, and based on this start memory, for the big hit determination of the second special figure variable display game A random number value is extracted and compared with a determination value stored in the ROM 31b, and a process of determining whether or not the second special figure variation display game has been won is performed.

Then, the CPU 31a of the game control device 30 outputs to the effect control device 40 a control signal (effect control command) including the determination results of the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game. Then, after the identification symbol is variably displayed for a predetermined time on the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9, a process for displaying a special figure variation display game to be stopped is performed.
Further, in the effect control device 40, based on the control signal from the game control device 30, the liquid crystal display device 43 performs a process of displaying a decoration special figure fluctuation display game corresponding to the special figure fluctuation display game.
Furthermore, in the production control device 40, based on the control signal from the game control device 30, the sound output from the speaker 145, the process for controlling the light emission of various LEDs, the vertical movement of the movable unit 510 and the rotation of the rotation member 512. The process etc. which control are performed.

Then, the CPU 31a of the game control device 30 displays the special result mode on the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 when the result of the special figure variation display game is win, and the special game state Process to generate.
In the process of generating the special game state, the CPU 31a performs control for allowing the game ball to flow into the special winning opening by, for example, opening the open / close door 10a of the special variable winning apparatus 10 by the special winning opening SOL10b.
Then, a condition that either a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the grand prize opening or a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds or 1 second) elapses from the opening of the big prize opening is achieved. Opening the grand prize opening until one is made is defined as one round, and this is repeated (repeated) for a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 times or twice) (cycle game).
When the result of the special figure variation display game is out of order, the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 is controlled to display the result form of the deviation.

In addition, the game control device 30 can generate a short-time state as a game state after the special game state is ended based on the result mode of the special figure variation display game.
In this time-short state, control is performed so that the normal-variation display game and the normal variation winning device 7 are in the time-short operation state. Specifically, in the short-time state, the execution time of the above-described usual-variable display game is controlled to be a second variable display time shorter than the first variable display time (for example, 10 seconds is 1 second). Thus, the number of times of opening of the normally variable winning device 7 per unit time is controlled to be substantially increased. Also, in the short time state, when the normal variation winning game 7 is released as a result of the normal fluctuation display game being won, the opening time becomes a second opening time longer than the first opening time in the normal state. (For example, 0.3 seconds is 2 seconds). Further, in the short-time state, the number of times of opening of the normal variation winning device 7 is not the first opening number of one time but a plurality of times of two or more times (for example, (3 times) the second number of times of opening.
It is to be noted that the execution time of the normal variation display game is set to the second variation display time (for example, 1 second), and the opening mode of the normal variation winning device 7 is the second opening time (for example, 2 seconds). In addition, the control in which the number of times of opening with respect to one hit result of the normal fluctuation display game is the second number of times of opening (for example, 3 times) may be performed only one or both. good. In the short-time operation state, control may be performed so that the probability of a hit result of the normal-variable display game is higher than that in the normal operation state.
Thereby, it becomes easy for a game ball to win the normal variation winning device 7, and the second special figure variation display game can be easily started.

In addition, the game control device 30 can generate a probable change state as a game state after the special game state ends 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. 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, the normal variation display game, and the short-time operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 can be generated independently, and both can be generated at the same time, or only one can be generated. Is possible.

  As described above, the game control device 30 is configured such that when the predetermined variable gaming state ends, the frequency at which the normal variation winning device 7 is converted to the open state is changed to a higher frequency than the normal state, such as a short time state or a probability change state. Specific game state control means for generating a specific game state is provided.

Then, the game ball is caused to roll down the first rolling portion 330 while being decelerated by the collision of the first rolling portion 330 against the plurality of convex portions 331, and flows into the second allocating portion 370.
When the momentum of the game ball flowing into the second distribution unit 370 is weak, the game ball flows directly into the first opening 371 and the second opening 372 and is distributed to the floor surface 360 or the ball guide path 350. On the other hand, the game ball having a strong momentum rolls so as to rotate along the outer periphery of the second allocating portion 370, so that the game ball whose momentum has been weakened becomes the first opening portion 371 or the second portion. It becomes easy to flow into the opening 372 and passes through one of the first opening 371 and the second opening 372 and is distributed to the floor surface 360 or the ball guide path 350.
The game balls distributed to the ball guide path 350 roll on the ball guide path 350 from the back side to the front side and are discharged substantially right above the first start winning opening 13. On the other hand, the game balls distributed to the floor surface portion 360 may flow into the ball guide path 350 by rolling on the rolling surface of the floor surface portion 360, but most of the game balls are located in the first start winning opening 13. It is discharged on both the left and right sides.

On the other hand, the game balls distributed to the second rolling unit 340 on the near side by the first allocating unit 320 roll down the second rolling unit 340, and the second rolling according to the momentum. It is discharged from the floor surface portion inflow outlet 342 on the left side of the portion 340 to the floor surface portion 360, or from the guide portion 341 to the second distributing portion 370, or on the right side of the second rolling portion 340. It is discharged from the floor surface inflow outlet 342 to the floor surface portion 360 or flows into the first rolling portion 330 via the inclined communication path 380.
Among these, the game ball that has flowed into the second allocating portion 370 by the guide portion 341 is easier to flow into the second opening 372 formed on the back side than the guide portion 341, thereby allowing the game The sphere easily flows into the sphere guide path 350. In particular, since the second opening 372 has a larger diameter than the first opening 371, the game ball that flows into the second allocating unit 370 through the guide part 341 of the second rolling part 340 is , It is easy to flow into the second opening 372.

Thereby, the game ball is prevented from flowing into the lower side of the protective member 2230, that is, the normal variation winning device 7 side, and the falling rolling area of the game ball is opposite to the normal variation winning device (special drawing starting region) 7. Limited to the side.
On the other hand, when the gaming state is the specific gaming state, the protection member 2230 rotates downward about the rotation axis by driving the drive source, and the right end portion of the protection member 2230 forms the game area 1a. (See FIG. 24B). As a result, the game ball can flow into the lower side of the protective member 2230, that is, the normal variation winning device 7 side, and the restriction of the flow-down rolling area of the game ball is released.

  As described above, according to the gaming machine 100 of the third modified example, the normal start area (the normal start start gate 4) provided on the special figure start area (ordinary variable winning device 7) side of the left and right sides of the game area 1a. ) Based on the inflow of the game ball to the closed state and the open state in which the game ball is more likely to flow than the closed state, and the normal variation winning device 7 having a special drawing start area, Specific game state control means for generating a specific game state in which the frequency at which the normal variation winning device 7 is converted to the open state is changed to a frequency higher than the normal state after the end of the predetermined special game state, The avoiding means includes a transparent second protective member (protective member 2230) that restricts the rolling-down rolling area of the game ball in the game area 1a and protects the game ball from colliding with the armor portion 220, and the second protective member. Is the front-back direction While rotating in a predetermined direction in the normal state and restricting the falling rolling area to the opposite side to the special figure starting area on both the left and right sides in the game area 1a. In the specific game state, the configuration is adopted in which the restriction of the falling rolling area is released by rotating in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction.

Accordingly, the rolling down area of the game ball in the game area 1a is restricted, and the transparent second protective member (protective member 2230) that protects the collision of the game ball against the armor portion 220 is used in a predetermined direction in a normal state. The rolling down area is restricted to the opposite side of the special figure starting area (ordinary variable winning device 7) of the left and right sides in the gaming area 1a, while the direction opposite to the predetermined direction in the specific gaming state. In the normal state, in addition to the armor portion 220, the game ball 1 is prevented from colliding with various members arranged on the special drawing start area side. On the other hand, in a specific gaming state in which the frequency at which the normal variation winning device 7 is converted to the open state is changed to a higher frequency than the normal state, the inflow of game balls to the normal variation winning device 7 side is allowed. By turning to The can attract the interest of the player in the second protective member can also be used for broadcast on the game's launch direction and a game state of the game ball.
Further, for example, even when the game state (probability state) is set to a latent state in which the game state (probability state) is not clearly notified and the specific game state for the normal variation winning device 7 is not generated, the second protection member (protection member 2230) is rotated. Then, by releasing the restriction of the falling rolling area, it may be notified that the probability variation state is latent. At this time, the control is performed so that the second special figure variable display game is preferentially consumed over the first special figure variable display game, and the second special figure variable display game is more favorably assigned to the allocated value. It is desirable to position the second special figure variation display game in an advantageous position.
