Description

  The present invention provides a first start storage means for storing the right to execute the first variable display game based on a winning at the first starting winning opening as a first starting memory, and a second based on winning at the second starting winning opening. Second start storage means for storing the right to execute the variable display game as a second start storage, and the random number stored in correspondence with the first or second start storage is a specific value The present invention relates to a gaming machine that derives a corresponding variable display game as a special result and generates a special gaming state that is advantageous to the player.

  Conventionally, provided with a variable display device capable of displaying a variable display game with a plurality of identification information, and a start storage means for storing a right to execute the variable display game as a start memory when a game ball wins a start winning opening, There is known a gaming machine that executes a variable display game based on the start-up memory. In such a gaming machine, a random number value is also extracted and stored corresponding to the start memory at the time of winning the game ball to the start winning opening, and if the random value is a big hit value, the result of the variable display game The mode is derived by any one of a plurality of types of special results, and a special gaming state advantageous to the player is generated.

In recent years, in a state where the start memory is stored in the start storage means and waiting for the variable display game, a random number value stored in correspondence with the start memory is determined in advance, and the random value is the jackpot value. A game machine having a function of notifying that a special gaming state will occur in a variable display game executed from that point in time, that is, by digesting the start memory stored before the start memory Is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). A game in which two variable display devices are provided and two start winning openings are provided corresponding to each of the variable display devices, and a special game state is generated when a special result is derived to any of the variable display devices. A machine is also known (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-243224 JP 2006-340932 A

  However, even in the case of a gaming machine provided with two variable display devices, there are simply a plurality of variable display devices in order to execute a variable display game on one of the variable display devices in the order of start winning prize as in the prior art. However, there are not only merits that the variable display device is a single one, but there are also problems such as high cost and complicated control. Therefore, it is conceivable to increase the sense of expectation of the game by preferentially executing the variable display device that can give a large value while differentiating the game value provided by the two variable display devices. However, when priority is set for the execution of the variable display game in the two variable display devices, the high-priority variable display is performed when the continuous presentation (notice) is performed for the variable display game with the low priority. When a game start prize is generated, the corresponding variable display game interrupts in the middle of the continuous effect, so the effect that is actually executed rather than the number of the variable display game that was initially scheduled As a result, the number of times of the variable display game involving the number of times is increased, and there is a possibility that inconsistency or the like may occur in the content of the effect in the continuous performance.

  The object of the present invention is based on the first start storage means for storing the right to execute the first variable display game as the first start memory based on the winning at the first start winning opening, and the winning at the second start winning opening. Second starting storage means for storing the right to execute the second variable display game as the second starting storage, and the random number stored corresponding to the first or second starting storage is a specific value In this case, in a gaming machine that derives a special result in the corresponding variable display game and generates a special gaming state advantageous to the player, the possibility of inconsistency in the continuous performance is reduced.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the invention described in claim 1 stores a right for executing the first variation display game as a first start memory based on winning of a game ball in the first start winning opening. A first start storage means, a second start storage means for storing a right for executing the second variable display game based on the winning of the game ball in the second start winning opening as a second start memory, and the first variable display A first display device that displays a game in a variably manner, a second display device that displays a variability in the second variation display game, and a decoration variation display game corresponding to the first variation display game or the second variation display game in a display area And a display device capable of displaying in any variation mode selected from a plurality of variation modes, and the random value stored corresponding to the first or second start-up memory is a specific value If the corresponding decoration variation table In the gaming machine which is adapted to generate a favorable special game state for the player with to derive the game in a special result,
The second start winning opening is converted into a closed state in which a game ball cannot be won and an open state in which a game ball can be won, and is converted into the open state based on the establishment of a predetermined condition. Provided and configured
A variable display game control means for executing only one variable display game even when the first and second start storage means have a start memory, and executing the second start memory with priority over the first start memory; ,
Preliminarily determining result related information related to the result stored in correspondence with the first or second start memory, and a plurality of start memories stored before the start memory based on the determination result Continuous production means for continuously producing a plurality of decoration variation display games corresponding to the start memory;
With
The decoration variation display game is displayed in a common display area for the case corresponding to the first variation display game and the case corresponding to the second variation display game,
The plurality of variation modes are set such that the selection rate differs according to the number of the first or second start memory when the decoration variation display game is executed,
In the pre-determination, when the result-related information is to select a different variation mode depending on the number of stored start memories, a determination result that does not allow execution of the continuous effect is obtained.
When the result-related information is to select the same variation mode regardless of the number of stored start memories, it is a determination result that allows execution of the continuous effect,
The continuous production means determines whether or not the result of the prior determination is a determination result that permits execution of the continuous production in response to a winning at the second start winning opening, and executes the continuous production. When the determination result is acceptable, it is determined whether or not to execute the continuous effect, and when it is determined to execute the continuous effect, the continuous effect related to the progress of the decoration variation display game is executed. It is characterized by that.

Here, “satisfaction of the predetermined condition” may be not only when the specific result is derived on the normal variation display device (the normal random number value is a winning value), but also when the gate passes or every predetermined time.
In addition, the “priority digest” is, for example, a case in which the second variation display game is preferentially started when both the first start memory and the second start memory are present, or the second variation display game is being executed. When the start memory is generated, the first variation display game is interrupted and the second variation display game is interrupted and executed.
The “result-related information” may be stop symbol information, variable display time information, variable display pattern information (notice effect command), etc. in addition to a random value.
Further, “a plurality of variable display games corresponding to a plurality of start memories including a start memory stored before the start memory” may be a plurality of start memories including a start memory to be notified, A plurality of start memories stored prior to the start memory to be notified may be used. Note that it is more effective in the present application to produce an effect (such as a countdown effect) so that the number of start memories that are targeted can be recognized.
In addition to what is performed when the random value is a specific value, the continuous effect may or may not include a case where the random value is not a specific value and a predetermined probability.
Furthermore, the continuous effect may be an effect that suggests the occurrence of a special gaming state, and in this case, it is a big hit continuous notice effect. Further, it may be a notice effect for notifying the occurrence of the reach state, and in this case, it is a reach continuous notice effect. The effects suggesting the occurrence of the special gaming state include not only clearly informing that the special gaming state occurs but also the effect of indirectly informing the occurrence of the special gaming state.
Further, the “preliminary determination” is so-called prefetching by determining information stored in the start storage means before executing the variable display game based on the start storage. The timing of “preliminary determination” may be any time. Alternatively, it may be determined in advance for every start winning, and the continuous production may be performed in response to winning in the second starting winning opening.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the continuous performance means executes the continuous performance in response to winning at the second start winning opening, the second start memory can be generated in the middle of the continuous performance. The possibility of contradiction to the continuous performance can be reduced. In other words, the winning at the second start winning opening occurs when the normal variation winning device is converted to the open state. At this timing, the next predetermined condition is satisfied and the normal variation winning device is converted to the open state. There will be a predetermined time until Therefore, if the continuous effect is executed at this timing, the possibility that the second variation display game based on the second start memory is interrupted is low, and the possibility that a contradiction occurs with respect to the continuous effect can be reduced. In addition, when the second start memory is generated, it is possible to increase the player's sense of expectation, and the player positively generates the second start memory even when the first start memory reaches the upper limit value. Thus, the game is continued, and so-called stoppage can be prevented.

A second aspect of the present invention is the gaming machine according to the first aspect, wherein the continuous performance means has the predetermined probability when the special gaming state occurs in the start memory to be pre-determined. and it executes the effect, according to claim 1, characterized in that executes the same continuous effect and if even if該特another gaming state does not occur, the special game state with a lower probability than the predetermined probability occurs Game machines.

  In this case, it is desirable that the continuous performance does not clearly notify the occurrence of the special gaming state.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the continuous performance means executes the continuous performance when the special gaming state occurs in the start memory to be pre-determined, and the predetermined performance even when the special gaming state does not occur. Since the continuous production similar to the case where the special gaming state occurs is executed with the probability of, it is possible to increase the chances of occurrence of the continuous production, to increase the player's expectation and to improve the interest.

A third aspect of the present invention is the gaming machine according to the second aspect, wherein the normal variation winning device converts the result of the normal variation display game to the open state when the result of the normal variation display game becomes a specific result. Configured,
Auxiliary pre-determining means for determining information related to the result of the normal variation display game to be executed or being executed before the result of the normal variation display game is derived,
Based on the determination result by the auxiliary prior determination unit, the continuous effect unit is configured to start the decoration variation display game which is the last of the continuous effect until the normal variation winning device is converted to the open state next time. It is characterized by selecting a starting memory to perform.

  Here, “information related to the result” includes result information, variable display time (time until completion), and the like. In addition, the “variable display game that is the last of the continuous effects” is a start memory that satisfies a predetermined condition for determining the execution of the continuous effects among the start memories to be determined in advance (for example, the result is a big hit). It is a variable display game based on.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, the normal variation winning device is configured to convert the normal variation display game to the open state when the result of the normal variation display game becomes a specific result, and the normal variation display that is scheduled to be executed or is being executed. An auxiliary advance determination unit that determines information related to the result in the game before the result of the normal variation display game is derived is provided. Since the start memory for performing the continuous effect is selected so that the variable display game that is the last of the continuous effect is started before being converted to the open state, the second start memory is surely prevented from occurring during the continuous effect. It is possible to prevent contradiction to continuous production.

  A fourth aspect of the present invention is the gaming machine according to the third aspect, in which the continuous production means stores the first stored in the first start storage means until the execution of the continuous production is determined. A pre-determination is performed in order from the newly stored start memory among the start memories, and then a pre-determination is performed on the second start memory stored in the second start memory means.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the continuous effect means starts from the newly stored start memory among the first start memories stored in the first start memory means until the execution of the continuous effect is determined. Predetermined in order, and then predetermined with respect to the second start memory stored in the second start storage means, so that it is possible to increase the number of continuous effects, improve the interest and execute a highly anticipated effect it can.

A fifth aspect of the present invention is the gaming machine according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, wherein the special gaming state is terminated based on the establishment of a specific condition relating to the occurrence of the special gaming state. Configured to generate a specific gaming state that facilitates the next special gaming state,
When the specific gaming state is not occurring, the continuous performance means determines in advance whether or not the start memory is to generate a special gaming state, while when the specific gaming state is occurring, It is characterized in that it is determined in advance whether or not the start-up memory is to generate a special game state with the establishment of a specific condition.

Here, “establishment of a predetermined condition related to the occurrence of a special gaming state” means that a special result is a specific special result, a game is played during a special gaming state, and the result is a specific result, etc. It is.
“Easy occurrence of the next special game state” means to increase the probability of a special result in a variable display game (occurrence of a probability variation state) or to facilitate the generation of start memory (general Occurrence of short state in the figure).

  According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, after the special game state is completed based on the establishment of the specific condition relating to the occurrence of the special game state, the specific game state that makes it easy to generate the next special game state is generated. In the case where the specific gaming state is not occurring, the continuous production means determines in advance whether or not the starting memory is to generate the special gaming state, while when the specific gaming state is occurring, the starting memory is stored. Therefore, it is possible to determine in advance whether or not a special gaming state that accompanies the establishment of a specific condition is generated, so that it is possible to perform an effect that accurately corresponds to the player's expectation. In other words, the player simply expects the occurrence of the special gaming state except during the specific gaming state, so that the player's sense of expectation can be enhanced by giving a notice to the occurrence of all the special gaming states. It becomes like this. On the other hand, in the specific gaming state, the player is more interested in whether or not the next special gaming state satisfies the predetermined condition than in the occurrence of the special gaming state. By changing the target of the notice notification to the occurrence of a special gaming state that satisfies the specific condition, the player's sense of expectation for continuing the specific gaming state can be enhanced.

According to the present invention, the continuous performance means executes the continuous performance in response to winning at the second start winning opening, and further selects a variation mode in which the result-related information varies depending on the number of stored start memories based on the prior determination. to without executing the continuous effect in the case of one, since the result-related information is adapted to perform a continuous effect if one intends to select regardless identical variation manner of the number of memory starting storage, continuous Ru can reduce the possibility of conflict for the production occurs.

The input interface 32 relays various signals input from these and outputs them to the gaming one-chip microcomputer 31. The glass frame opening SW 146 is for detecting that the clear member holding frame is opened, and the gaming machine frame opening SW 121 is for detecting that the front frame is opened. The ball break SW 122 is provided on a chute that guides the game ball supplied from the island facility to the discharge device, and detects that there is no game ball in the chute.

  In addition, various control signals output from the gaming one-chip microcomputer 31 are input to the output interface 33. These control signals are relayed by the output interface 33, and through a not-shown output port and driver, the first special figure (special figure 1) display 8 and the first special figure (special figure 1) storage display 18 are provided. , Second special figure (special figure 2) display 9, second special figure (special figure 2) memory display 19, general figure indicator 5, common figure memory indicator 15, general electric power SOL7b, big prize opening SOL10b, It is output to the external terminal board 16, the payout control device 125, and the effect control device 40 that are connected to a management device or the like outside the gaming machine.

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

  This effect control device 40 is based on various signals (effect control data (such as various commands)) received from the game control device 30 via the communication interface 40d (under the control of the game control device 30). Control is performed. The input / output interface 40e receives a detection signal from an operation button 41 provided on the front surface of the gaming machine, and the effect control device 40 is based on this detection signal (the game control device 30). The game effect is controlled (under the control of).

  Furthermore, various control signals output from the CPU 40a are input to the input / output interface 40e, and these control signals are relayed by the input / output interface 40e, and the output of the movable effect device via an output port and a driver (not shown). It is output to various LED boards 44 provided with decoration LED provided in the accessory drive motor 42, the game board 1, and the clear member holding frame covering the front of the game board 1, and the production of the game is performed. ing. Of the control signals output from the CPU 40a, a control signal related to image control is output from the CPU 40a to the VDP 40g, and image data based on the control signal is output from the VDP 40g to the display device 43. Further, a control signal related to the control of sound is output from the CPU 40a to the sound LSI 40i, and sound data based on the control signal is output from the sound LSI 40i to the speaker 45.

  In addition, power is supplied to the game control device 30 from a power supply device (not shown), and power is also supplied to the other devices from the power supply device. In addition, the power supply device is equipped with a backup power supply to enable power supply even when the external power supply is interrupted, such as during a power failure, and is stored in the volatile memory of each control device during a power failure. The loss of recorded data is prevented.

In these control devices, the following game control is performed.
The game control device 30 mainly performs main processing shown in FIG. 3 and timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. 4 performed every predetermined time (for example, every 2 msec) as processing related to the game.

  In the main process, the entire program is controlled. As shown in FIG. 3, in the main process, the process at the start of the program is first performed. As processing at the start of the program, first, initialization processing at power-on (step S1) is performed, and then power failure recovery processing (step S2) is performed.

  Next, loop processing is performed as main loop processing. In this loop process, first, a process for starting an interrupt timer (step S3) is performed to start a CTC (counter timer circuit). Next, an interrupt prohibition process (step S4) is performed, and an initial value random number update process (in order to destroy the temporal regularity of random numbers by updating initial values of random numbers such as jackpot determination random numbers and jackpot symbol random numbers) Step S5) is performed. Thereafter, processing for permitting an interrupt (step S6) is performed. In the initial value random number update process (step S5), the same process is performed for each of the random number for the first special figure variation display game and the random number for the second special figure variation display game.

  Then, the power failure inspection area of the RAM 31c is checked to determine whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S7). Note that, in the power failure inspection area, check data is set when the power of the gaming machine is cut off due to a power failure, and the check data is not normally stored. Therefore, it can be determined whether or not a power failure has occurred by determining the presence or absence of the check data.

  In the determination of whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S7), if a power failure has not occurred (step S7; No), the process returns to the above-described processing for prohibiting interruption (step S4), and thereafter the power supply is shut off. If not, the determination (step S7) of whether or not a power failure has occurred is repeated from the process for prohibiting interruption (step S4).

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S7), if a power failure has occurred (step S7; Yes), a power failure process (step S8) is performed. Immediately after the occurrence of a power failure, the backup power supply supplies power that can execute the processing when the power failure occurs.

  In the power failure process (step S8), first, a process for prohibiting interruption is performed. Then, processing for turning off all output ports is performed, and processing for clearing the power failure inspection area is performed. Further, after performing the process of saving the power failure recovery inspection area check data in the power failure recovery inspection area, performing the process of calculating the checksum when the power of the RAM 31c is turned off, and performing the process of prohibiting access to the RAM 31c, the gaming machine Wait for the power to turn off. Thus, by saving the power failure recovery inspection area check data in the power failure recovery inspection area and calculating the checksum at the time of power interruption, the information stored in the RAM 31c before the power interruption is correctly backed up. Can be determined at power-on.

  Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, in this timer interrupt process, first, a process of saving the register data (step S10) is performed. Next, from various sensors (first start port SW13a, second start port SW7d, gate SW4a, winning port SW12a, 12a,..., Count SW10c, glass frame opening SW146, gaming machine frame opening SW121, out of ball SW122, etc.) An input process (step S11) for processing the input is performed. Then, based on the output data set in various processes, an output process (step S12) is performed to perform an output process for controlling the driving of an actuator such as a solenoid (large winning opening SOL10b, ordinary power SOL7b).

  Next, a command transmission process (step S13) is performed for outputting commands set in the transmission buffer in various processes to the effect control device 40 and the like. Then, random number update processing (step S14) is performed. In this random number update process (step S14), the jackpot determination random number for determining the hit loss of the special figure variation display game and the big hit symbol random number for determining the jackpot symbol of the special figure variation display game are updated. As for the random numbers related to the special figure, the same processing is performed for each of the random numbers for the first special figure fluctuation display game and the random numbers for the second special figure fluctuation display game. In addition, a hit random number for determining a missed hit of the normal figure fluctuation display game and a fluctuation pattern random number for determining a fluctuation pattern in the special figure fluctuation display game are also updated.

  Next, whether there is a signal input from the first start port SW13a, the second start port SW7d, the gate SW4a, the winning ports SW12a, 12a,..., The count SW10c (whether a signal indicating detection of a game ball is input) A prize port switch / error monitoring process (step S15) for monitoring whether or not) and monitoring errors. And the special figure game process (step S16) which performs the process regarding a special figure fluctuation display game, and the special figure game process (step S17) which performs the process regarding a common figure fluctuation display game are performed.

  Next, a segment LED editing process (step S18) that is provided in the gaming machine 100 and performs a process related to the segment LED that displays various information related to the game is performed. Then, an external information editing process (step S19) is performed in which a signal to be output to the external management apparatus is set in the output buffer. Next, a process for declaring the end of an interrupt (step S20) is performed, a process for restoring the saved register data (step S21), a process for permitting an interrupt (step S22), and a timer interrupt process. finish.

  And in the game control apparatus 30, mainly in the usual game process (step S17) among the above processes, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the gate SW4a provided in the usual figure start gate 4, A random number value for determining the hit of the usual figure is extracted and compared with the decision value stored in the ROM 31b, and a process of determining whether or not the hit of the usual figure variation display game is determined. Then, after the normal identification information is variably displayed on the normal display 5 for a predetermined time, a process for displaying a general variability display game to be stopped is performed. When the result of this normal map change display game is a win, a special result mode (specific result) is displayed on the general map display 5 and the general electric power SOL 7b is operated to open / close members 7a, Control is performed to release 7a as described above for a predetermined time (for example, 1 second). 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.

  The operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 includes two operation states, a normal operation state (first operation state) and a short-time operation state (second operation state). It is supposed to be set. That is, the game control device 30 serves as an operation state setting means for setting the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7. In the normal operation state, the variation display time of the usual variation display game is a first variation display time (for example, 30 seconds). Further, when the normal variation winning game 7 is released as a result of the normal variation display game being won, the release mode is the first release time (for example, 1 second). The number of times of opening with respect to the hit result is the first number of times of opening (for example, once). The short-time operation state is a state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is more likely to be an open state than the normal operation state. At this time, in the short operation state, the execution time of the above-described normal variation display game is controlled to be a second variation display time shorter than the first variation display time which is a long execution time in the normal operation state (for example, 1 second), thereby controlling the number of times of opening of the normal variation winning device 7 per unit time to be substantially increased. In the short-time operation state, when the normal variation winning game 7 is released as a result of the normal variation display game being won, the release mode is the second release time (for example, 1.5 seconds), The number of times of opening for one hit result of the usual figure display game is the second number of times of opening (for example, 3 times). Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the probability of winning the normal map display game is always 255/256. In the normal operation state, control may be performed so as to be lower than this probability. That is, in the short-time operation state, the number of times the normal variation winning device 7 is released is increased compared to the normal operation state, and it becomes easier for a game ball to win the normal variation winning device 7, and the second special figure variable display game can be easily started. State.

  Further, in the game control device 30, as will be described in detail later, in the special figure game process (step S16), based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the first starting port SW13a provided in the first starting winning port 13. Then, a process for extracting the jackpot determination random number value of the first special figure variation display game and storing it as a first start memory in the RAM 31c up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4) is performed. Similarly, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the second starting port SW7d provided in the normal variation winning device 7, the random number value for determining the big hit of the second special figure variation display game is extracted and stored in the RAM 31c. A process of storing up to the upper limit number (for example, 4) as the second start memory is performed.

  Also, at the start of the first special figure variation display game based on the first start memory, the big hit determination random number value stored in the first start memory is the big hit for the first special figure variable display game stored in the ROM 31b. Compared with a determination value (specific value), a process of determining a miss of the first special figure variation display game is performed. Further, after this processing, the first start memory number is decremented by one. Similarly, at the start of the second special figure variation display game based on the second start memory, the jackpot determination random number value stored in the second start memory is used for the second special figure variation display game stored in the ROM 31b. Compared with the big hit determination value (specific value), a process of determining a hit loss of the second special figure variation display game is performed. Further, after this processing, the second start memory number is subtracted by one. In both the first start memory and the second start memory, a process for determining a variation pattern based on a variation pattern random number is also performed. Further, when the jackpot determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value, processing for selecting a special result mode based on the jackpot symbol random number is performed.

  Here, there are two probability states, a normal probability state (first probability state) and a probability variation state (second probability state), in the probability state, which is a state of probability that a special result mode is derived in the special figure variation display game. In the game control device 30, any one probability state is set. The probability variation state is a state in which the probability of a jackpot result in the special figure variation display game is higher than the normal probability state. In the normal probability state, a predetermined number of first determination values are set as specific values, and the specific value (first determination value) is compared with a jackpot determination random number value. Yes. In addition, in the probability variation state, the first determination value and the second determination value different from the first determination value are set as the specific value, and the specific value (first determination value, second determination value), the jackpot determination random number value, Are compared, and if they match, the jackpot is determined. That is, the game control device 30 serves as a probability variation control means capable of controlling the probability that the result of the special figure variation display game will be in the special result mode in either the normal probability state or the probability variation state.

  If a special result is derived in the special figure variation display game, and if a predetermined condition is satisfied (if it is a specific special result mode (probability variation pattern)), the probability state is changed to a probable state after the special game state is finished. And so on. In addition, the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display, regardless of whether the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game results in the special figure fluctuation display game. Both display games are in a probable state. If a special result is derived in the special figure variation display game in the probability state, the first special figure variation is performed regardless of whether or not the special result mode is associated with the establishment of a predetermined condition. Both the display game and the second special figure variation display game are once in the normal probability state. And when it is a special result aspect accompanied by establishment of predetermined conditions, it will be in a probability change state again after completion | finish of a special game state. In the case of a special result mode (normal symbol) that is not accompanied by the establishment of a predetermined condition, the normal probability state is maintained as it is even after the special game state is ended.

  In addition, as described above, the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 includes a normal operation state and a short-time operation state, and the probability state in the special figure variation display game includes a normal probability state and a probability variation state. These combinations constitute three game states, a normal game state, a probability variation state, and a short-time game state, and the game control device 30 sets any one game state based on a predetermined condition. The normal game state is a game state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is the normal operation state, and the probability state of the special figure variable display game is the normal probability state. The probability variation state is a gaming state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is a short-time operation state, and the probability state of the special figure variation display game is a probability variation state. The short-time game state is a game state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is the short-time operation state, and the probability state of the special figure variable display game is the normal probability state. In other words, in the probability variation state that makes the specific game state that facilitates the next special game state, the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is the short-time operation state, and the right to execute the second special figure variation display game is generated. Is controlled to be easy. That is, the execution right generation facilitating that the game control device 30 facilitates the generation of the execution right of the second variable display game (second special figure variable display game) while the specific game state (probability variation state) is occurring. Make a means.

  In addition, the game control device 30 determines a jackpot determination random number value, a jackpot symbol random number, a variation pattern random number, or the like stored in the first startup memory at a predetermined timing (arbitrary timing such as a start winning prize). Then, pre-reading processing is performed to determine whether or not the first special figure variation display game has been hit or missed (special result mode type) or reach has occurred. Similarly, the game control device 30 determines a jackpot determination random number value, a jackpot symbol random number, a variation pattern random number, or the like stored in the second startup memory at a predetermined timing (any timing such as a start winning prize). . Then, a pre-reading process is performed to determine whether or not the second special figure variation display game has been missed, the jackpot symbol (special result type), or reach has occurred. The results of these determinations are transmitted from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 as result information. Note that the pre-reading process is always performed for the second start memory regardless of the gaming state. For the first start memory, the look-ahead process is not performed in the game state (probability variation state, time-short game state) in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is the short-time operation state or the special game state. Or, even if the pre-reading process is performed, the advance notice based on the result is not performed.

  Here, the reach (reach state) includes the display device 43 whose display state can be changed, and the display device 43 derives and displays a plurality of display results at different times, and the plurality of display results are preliminarily displayed. In a gaming machine in which the gaming state becomes a gaming state advantageous to the player (special gaming state) when the specified special result mode is achieved, a part of the plurality of display results is not yet derived and displayed. The display state in which the display result that has already been derived and displayed satisfies the condition for the special result mode. In other words, the reach state is deviated from the display condition that is a special result mode even when the display control of the display device 43 progresses to reach the stage before the display result is derived and displayed. A display mode that is not. 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 when the display control of the display device 43 progresses and reaches 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 have been performed satisfies the conditions for the special result mode.

  Thus, for example, a decoration variation display game displayed on the display device 43 corresponding to the special figure variation display game varies a plurality of identification information for a predetermined time in each of the left, middle, and right variation display areas on the display device 43. After displaying, when the display of the result mode is stopped in the order of left, right, and middle, the condition that becomes the special result mode is satisfied in the left and right variable display areas (for example, The state in which the variable display is stopped with the same identification information) is the 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. The reach state includes a plurality of reach effects, and the possibility of deriving a special result form is different (reliability is different). As the reach effects, normal reach, special reach 1 (SP1 reach), special reach 2 ( SP2 reach) is set. 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 win is obtained). That is, it may be included in the variable display mode in the case where the special result mode is not derived in the special figure variable display game (when it is out of place). 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.

  Then, the game control device 30 displays the special identification information on the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 in a fluctuating manner for a predetermined time based on the determination result of the start memory as described above, and then displays the stop display. The process which displays the special figure fluctuation display game to perform is performed. That is, the game control device 30 serves as a variation display control means capable of controlling the execution of the special figure variation display game based on the start-up memory. More specifically, as the first execution control means for controlling the execution of the first special figure fluctuation display game based on the first start memory, and the second special figure fluctuation display game based on the second start memory. It functions as a second execution control means for performing control.

  In addition, in the game control device 30, when the first start memory and the second start memory are stored, the execution control of the second special figure variable display game is given priority over the execution control of the first special figure variable display game. It is supposed to run. That is, the game control device 30 serves as a variable display game control means for executing the second start memory with priority over the first start memory.

  FIG. 5 shows a state transition diagram for explaining execution control of the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game by the game control device 30. Note that the same execution control is performed regardless of the above-described gaming state (normal gaming state, probability variation state, short-time gaming state).

  When there is no first start memory and second start memory, the normal state A1 (customer waiting state) is entered, and the generation of the first start memory (Special Figure 1 start memory) and the second start memory (Special Figure 2 start memory) is awaited. It becomes a state to do. Even in the state where the first start memory and the second start memory exist, the normal state A1 is once set after the end of the special figure change display game where the result is out of date or after the end of the big hit state A4 (special game state). In the normal state A1, if there is no second start memory and there is a first start memory, the state shifts to the first special figure fluctuation state (special figure 1 fluctuation state) A2, and the first special figure fluctuation display game is executed. Further, if there is a second start memory in the normal state A1, the state shifts to the second special figure fluctuation state (special figure 2 fluctuation state) A3, and the second special figure fluctuation display game is executed. Since the second start memory is preferentially digested over the first start memory, if there is a second start memory, even if there is a first start memory, the second special figure fluctuation state A3 is entered. Then, the second special figure variation display game is executed.

  The first special figure fluctuation state A2 is a state in which the first special figure fluctuation display game is being executed, and a special result mode is derived as a result of the first special figure fluctuation display game (when the jackpot condition is satisfied) ) Shifts to the jackpot state A4 and enters a special game state. Further, when the result of the first special figure fluctuation display game is a failure that does not satisfy the jackpot condition in the first special figure fluctuation state A2, the process returns to the normal state A1.

  The second special figure fluctuation state A3 is a state in which the second special figure fluctuation display game is being executed, and a special result mode is derived as a result of the second special figure fluctuation display game (when the jackpot condition is satisfied) ) Shifts to the jackpot state A4 and enters a special game state. In the second special figure fluctuation state A3, when the result of the second special figure fluctuation display game is a failure that does not satisfy the jackpot condition, the process returns to the normal state A1.

  The jackpot state A4 is a state in which a special game state in which a predetermined game value can be given to the player is being executed. When the special game state is finished in the jackpot state A4, the state returns to the normal state A1.

  Moreover, in the game control apparatus 30, when the result of a special figure fluctuation display game is a big hit, while displaying a special result aspect on a special figure display, the process which generates a special game state is performed. The special result mode displayed on the special chart display is determined based on the jackpot symbol random number extracted and stored simultaneously with the jackpot determination random number value. When the result of the special figure variation display game is out of order, the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 are controlled to display the result form of the deviation.

  Further, in the game control device 30, as a process for generating the special game state, for example, the open / close door 10a of the special variable prize winning device 10 is opened by the big prize opening SOL10b, thereby allowing the game ball to flow into the big prize opening. Take control. Then, a condition that either a predetermined number (for example, nine) of game balls wins the grand prize opening or a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds or 0.3 seconds) 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 control (cycle game) is performed to continue (repeat) this for a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 times or 2 times). Thereby, the gaming machine 100 functions as a gaming machine that generates a special gaming state that can give a predetermined gaming value to the player based on the result mode of the special figure variation display game.

  Further, in the game control device 30, payout control is performed based on detection signals of game balls input from sensors (first start port SW13a, second start port SW7d, winning port SW12a, count SW10c) provided at various winning ports. The device 125 is controlled so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out from the discharging device.

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

  Here, in the special result mode, a plurality of types having different execution value of the special game state and the additional game value given to the player after the end of the special game state are set. The special result mode is selected on the basis of this. That is, it can be said that the amount of additional game value is determined based on the jackpot symbol random number. In addition, the execution mode of the special game state in the gaming machine of the present embodiment is the number of rounds that can be executed and the opening time of the special winning opening. Further, the additional game value means that the game state is changed to a probability fluctuation state until the next special result mode is derived after the special game state ends, or a special figure variation display game is executed a predetermined number of times after the special game state ends. The game state is changed to the short-time game state.

  The type of special result mode includes 15R normal (design) in which the number of rounds in the special game state is 15 rounds and the game state is set to the short-time game state until 100 special figure variation display games are executed after the special game state is completed. ), The number of rounds in the special gaming state is 15 rounds, and after the special gaming state ends, the game state becomes the probability variation state until the next special result mode is derived (symbol), the number of rounds in the special gaming state is Three types of 2R probability change (symbol) in which the gaming state is a probability variation state after the special gaming state is completed in two rounds until the next special result mode is derived are set. That is, the 15R probability variation and the 2R probability variation are special result modes that are accompanied by the establishment of a predetermined condition, and the probability variation state (specific game) that facilitates the generation of the next special game state after the special game state based on the special result mode ends. Status).

  In the special game state (first special game state) based on 15R normal, 15R probability change, the opening time of the big winning opening in each round is the first release time (25 seconds), and the special game state based on 2R probability change In the (second special game state), the opening time of the special winning opening is the second opening time (0.3 seconds) shorter than the first opening time. Here, in the special game state based on 2R probability change, the operation of opening the grand prize opening for 0.3 seconds is performed twice with a wait time of 1 second. For this reason, it is very difficult for a game ball to win a big prize opening, but there is a possibility that it will slightly win a big prize opening, and a predetermined game value can be given to the player. In addition, although it is difficult to win a game ball in this way, it is monitored whether a predetermined number (for example, 9) of game balls wins a large winning opening as in the case of a special game state based on other special result modes. Is also done. That is, the first special gaming state in which the 15R normal and 15R probability changes are executed for a predetermined period, and the second special gaming state in which the 2R probability change is set to be shorter than the first special gaming state. Is to execute.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, when the result of the special figure fluctuation display game is a big hit, the selection probability of the special result mode is the first special figure fluctuation display game (special figure 1) and the second special figure fluctuation display. It differs from the game (Special Figure 2). In the first special figure variation display game, the probability that 15R normal is selected is 35%, the probability that 15R probability variation is selected is 45%, and the probability that 2R probability variation is selected is 20%. On the other hand, in the second special figure variation display game, the probability that 15R normal is selected is 35%, the probability that 15R probability variation is selected is 60%, and the probability that 2R probability variation is selected is 5%. In other words, the amount of game value given in the special game state is increased (advantageous for the player) in the second special diagram variation display game than in the first special diagram variation display game. It should be noted that the amount of additional game value given to the player after the end of the special game state is greater in the second special figure variation display game than the first special diagram variation display game (advantageous to the player). May be. That is, the game control device 30 extracts a random number (a jackpot symbol random number) based on the winning of the game ball to the start winning opening (the first starting winning opening 13, the normal variable winning device 7), and the extracted random number value On the basis of this, an additional game value determining means for determining whether or not to add an additional game value separately from the special game state, or determining an additional game value amount to be added.

  Next, the details of the special game process (step S16) in the timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 4 will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, in the special figure game process, first, the second start port monitoring process for monitoring the winning to the ordinary variable winning device 7 forming the second starting winning port and storing various random numbers based on the winning. (Step S30) is performed, and a first start port monitoring process (Step S31) is performed for monitoring winning to the first start winning port 13 and storing various random numbers based on the winning. Thereafter, a count switch monitoring process (step S32) for monitoring the input from the count SW 10c is performed.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the game process timer set in each process relating to the execution of the special figure variation display game has expired (step S33). In the determination of whether or not the game process timer has expired (step S33), if the game process timer has not expired (step S33; No), the special figure fluctuation control process relating to the control of the special figure fluctuation display game. (Step S45) is performed to end the special figure game process. Further, in the determination of whether or not the game process timer has expired (step S33), if the game process timer has expired (step S33; Yes), the game process number acquired by acquiring the game process number A game branching process (step S34) for selecting a process to be executed based on is performed.

  In the game branching process (step S34), if the game process number is 0, it is necessary to monitor the start of special symbol variation and perform special symbol variation start setting, production setting, or special diagram routine processing. A special figure routine process (step S35) for setting various information is performed. In the game branching process (step S34), when the game process number is 1, a special figure first half variation start process (step S36) for setting information related to the first half fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation display game is performed. The first half variation time is a period from the start of the special figure variation display game to the occurrence of the reach state. In the game branching process (step S34), when the game process number is 2, a special figure latter half change start process (step S37) for setting information related to the latter half change time of the special figure change display game is performed. The second half variation time is a period from the occurrence of the reach state to the end of the special figure variation display game.

  In the game branching process (step S34), when the game process number is 3, a special figure change stop process (step S38) is performed. In this special figure fluctuation stop processing (step S38), setting of a command (fluctuation stop command) for instructing a change stop of the decoration special figure fluctuation display game, setting of a stop display time of a result mode in the special figure fluctuation display game, etc. Do. In the game branching process (step S34), when the game process number is 4, a special figure change end process (step S39) is performed. In the special figure change end process (step S39), if the result of the special figure change display game is a big hit, information necessary for performing the fanfare / interval process (step S40) is set. If the result of the special figure variation display game is out of place, information is set to shift to the special figure routine process (step S35).

  Further, in the game branching process (step S34), when the game process number is 5, a fanfare / interval process (step S40) for performing a process such as updating the number of times of opening the big winning opening in the special game state is performed. Further, in the game branching process (step S34), when the game process number is 6, a special winning opening opening process (step S41) is performed. In the special winning opening opening process (step S41), if the special game state is not the final round, information necessary for performing the fanfare / interval process (step S40) is set. If the special game state is the final round, the command setting on the end screen of the special game state and the information necessary for performing the winning prize remaining ball processing (step S42) are set.

  In the game branching process (step S34), if the game process number is 7, the winning prize remaining ball process (step S42) is performed. In this special winning opening remaining ball process (step S42), when the special gaming state is the final round, it takes time until all the gaming balls remaining in the large winning opening are detected by the count SW 10c after the special winning opening is closed. Set up. In the game branching process (step S34), if the game process number is 8, a big hit end process (step S43) is performed. In this jackpot ending process (step S43), a process for ending the special gaming state is performed, and information necessary for performing the special figure routine process (step S35) is set.

  After performing the above-described process based on the game process number, a special data variation control process (step S45) is performed in which table data save process (step S44) for saving various set data is performed, and a process such as a game process timer is updated. ) To finish the special figure game process.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the start port 2SW monitoring process (step S30) executed in the special figure game process described above, first, it is determined whether or not the ordinary electric accessory is operating (step S50). . In the determination as to whether or not the ordinary electric accessory is in operation (step S50), it is determined whether or not the normally variable winning device 7 that constitutes the ordinary electric accessory is in an open state in which a game ball can be won. Determined. In the determination of whether or not the ordinary electric accessory is in operation (step S50), if the ordinary electric accessory is in operation (step S50; Yes), the start port 2 switch (second start port SW7d) is input. It is determined whether or not is on (step S52). Further, in the determination of whether or not the ordinary electric accessory is in operation (step S50), if the ordinary electric accessory is not in operation (step S50; No), whether or not the number of illegal winnings is an upper limit value. (Step S51).

  The normally variable winning device 7 cannot win a game ball in the closed state and can win a game ball only in the open state. Therefore, when a game ball wins in a closed state, it is a case where some abnormality or fraud occurs, and when there is a game ball won in such a closed state, the number is counted as an illegal winning number. ing. In the determination of whether or not the number of illegal winnings is an upper limit value (step S51), it is determined whether or not the number of illegal winnings counted in this way is equal to or greater than a predetermined upper limit value. If it is determined whether or not the number of illegal prizes is the upper limit (step S51), if the number of illegal prizes is the upper limit (step S51; Yes), the start port 2SW monitoring process is terminated. That is, in this case, the second start memory is not generated. In the determination of whether or not the number of illegal prizes is the upper limit (step S51), if the number of illegal prizes is not the upper limit (step S51; No), the start port 2 switch (second start port SW7d) is input. It is determined whether or not it is on (step S52).

  In the determination of whether or not the start port 2 switch input is ON (step S52), the game ball output from the start port 2 switch (second start port SW7d) for detecting the game ball won in the normal variation winning device 7 It is determined whether there is a detection signal. In the determination of whether or not the start port 2 switch input is on (step S52), if the start port 2 switch input is not on (step S52; No), the start port 2SW monitoring process is terminated. In the determination of whether or not the start port 2 switch input is on (step S52), if the start port 2 switch input is on (step S52; Yes), a process of updating the start port signal output count (step S52; Yes) Step S53) is performed. In the process of updating the number of times of starting port signal output (step S53), the process of updating information related to the number of winnings to the normal variation winning device 7 output to the management device outside the gaming machine is performed. Thereafter, it is determined (step S54) whether or not the special figure 2 hold number (second start memory) is an upper limit value (for example, 4).

  In the determination of whether or not the special figure 2 holding number is the upper limit value (step S54), when the special figure 2 holding number is the upper limit value (step S54; Yes), that is, the second start memory cannot be stored any more. In this case, the start port 2SW monitoring process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not the special figure 2 holding number is the upper limit value (step S54), when the special figure 2 holding number is not the upper limit value (step S54; No), the special figure 2 holding number is incremented by one. A process (step S55) is performed, and a process of acquiring a big hit random number value (step S56) is performed. Thereafter, the process of acquiring the jackpot symbol random number 2 (the jackpot symbol random number for the second special figure variation display game) (step S57), the variation pattern random number 2 (the variation pattern random number for the second special diagram variation display game) is acquired. Processing (step S58) is performed. In the process of storing these various random number values (steps S56 to S58), the process of storing the extracted various random number values in the save area of the various random number values set corresponding to the updated special figure starting storage number is performed. . That is, the game control device 30 displays the right to execute the second special figure variation display game based on the winning of the game ball in the second starting prize opening (ordinary variable prize winning device 7, second starting prize area). Second start storage means for storing together with result related information (big hit random number, big hit symbol random number, variation pattern random number) for determining the game result.

  Next, prefetching processing is performed to determine the result related information corresponding to the second start memory before the start timing of the second special figure variation display game based on the second start memory. As the prefetching process, first, it is determined whether or not the big hit random number is a big hit (step S59). In determining whether or not the jackpot random number is a jackpot (step S59), it is determined whether or not the jackpot random number value matches the jackpot determination value. The jackpot determination value used here always uses the first determination value that is a value in the normal probability state, regardless of the probability state in which the special result mode is derived in the current special figure variation display game. As a result, when the pre-reading process is performed, it is determined that the probability variation state is a big hit, but when the special figure variation display game is actually executed, it is possible to prevent the normal probability state from being determined to be out of place. In the determination of whether or not the big hit random number is a big hit (step S59), if the big hit random number is a big hit (step S59; Yes), a process of obtaining the continuous notice effect command 4 (step S60) is performed, A process of obtaining a stop symbol pattern command corresponding to the symbol random number (step S63) is performed. Although the details of the continuous notice effect command will be described later, the continuous notice effect command 4 is selected when the result of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory is successful.

  In the determination of whether or not the big hit random number is a big hit (step S59), if the big hit random number is not a big hit (step S59; No), a process of acquiring a continuous notice effect command command (step S61) is performed. Then, the process which acquires the continuous notice effect command corresponding to a fluctuation pattern random number (step S62) is performed, and the process which acquires the stop symbol pattern command corresponding to a jackpot symbol random number (step S63) is performed. In addition, when the result of the special figure fluctuation display game based on the start memory is out of order, any one of the continuous notice effect commands 1 to 3 is acquired by the fluctuation pattern random number, or the continuous notice command is not obtained.

  And as a process which sets the various commands acquired by the above-mentioned process, the process which sets a continuous notice effect command (step S64) and the process which sets a stop symbol pattern command (step S65) are performed. The command set here is output to the effect control device 40 later. Thereafter, a process of setting the decoration special figure 2 hold number command (step S66) is performed, and the start port 2SW monitoring process is terminated.

  Here, selection of the continuous notice effect command will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, four types of continuous notice effect commands 1 to 4 are set for the continuous notice effect commands selected as a result of the above-described prefetch processing. The continuous notice effect command 1 is selected when the result of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory is out of order and the variation display mode below the normal reach is executed. Note that “below normal reach” refers to a variable display mode having a reliability below normal reach. The reliability of the variable display mode is a high probability that a special game state is entered when the variable display mode is executed, and no reach <normal reach <special reach 1 (SP1 reach) <special reach 2 It becomes higher in the order of (SP2 reach). Therefore, the fluctuation display mode below the normal reach of detachment is a fluctuation display mode that shifts without normal reach or without reach.

  The continuous notice effect command 2 is selected when the result of the special figure fluctuation display game based on the start-up memory is out of order and the fluctuation display mode that becomes the special reach 1 is executed. The continuous notice effect command 3 is selected when the result of the special figure variation display game based on the start-up memory is out of order and the variation display mode that becomes the special reach 2 is executed. The continuous notice effect command 4 is selected when the result of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory is a win. Of these, the selection of the continuous notice effect commands 1 to 3 is performed with reference to the fluctuation pattern random number.

  Here, a plurality of settings are prepared for the variation pattern determination value for determining the variation pattern random number so that the occurrence rate of the reach state varies depending on the number of starting memories. As shown in FIG. 11, the variation pattern random number is extracted from 65536 values from 0 to 65535 at the time of starting winning. Different variation pattern determination values are set according to the number of reserved memories (the number of start memories) at the start of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory. In this way, by making the occurrence rate of the reach state different according to the starting memory number, it is possible to prevent the game from becoming redundant or monotonous, and to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game Yes.

  Among these, there are a value that is a different determination result depending on the number of reserved memories and a value that is the same determination result regardless of the number of reserved memories. Specifically, when the fluctuation pattern random number value is in the range of 0 to a, the fluctuation display mode without reach is achieved regardless of the number of reserved storage. When the fluctuation pattern random number value is in the range from a to b, there is no reach or normal reach fluctuation display mode depending on the reserved memory number, and when the fluctuation pattern random value is in the range from b to c, the reserved memory number is set. Regardless, it will be a normal reach variation display mode. When the fluctuation pattern random number value is in the range of c to d, the fluctuation display mode is normal reach or special reach 1 (SP reach 1) depending on the reserved storage number, and the fluctuation pattern random value is in the range of d to e. Is the variable display mode of Special Reach 1 regardless of the number of reserved memories. Further, when the fluctuation pattern random number value is in the range from e to f, the variable reach mode is the special reach 1 or special reach 2 (SP reach 2) depending on the reserved storage number, and the fluctuation pattern random value is in the range from f to 65535. In some cases, the change display mode of the special reach 2 is used regardless of the number of reserved memories. The values from a to f are values such that 0 <a <b <c <d <e <f <65535.

  In the continuous notice effect command table acquired in the process of obtaining the above-described continuous notice effect command table (step S61), the range of values that result in different determination results depending on the number of reserved memories and the number of reserved memories are obtained. The range of values that result in the same determination result is stored. Therefore, in the process of acquiring the continuous notice effect command corresponding to the fluctuation pattern random number (step S62), the fluctuation pattern random number is referred to the continuous notice effect command command table, and the predetermined determination result regardless of whether the fluctuation pattern random number is the reserved memory number. A predetermined continuous notice effect command is acquired in the case of a value such that a predetermined notice result is not obtained depending on the number of reserved memories.

  That is, the continuous notice effect command 1 is acquired when the fluctuation pattern random number value is in the range of 0 to c and the fluctuation display mode is normal reach or no reach regardless of the number of reserved memories. Further, when the fluctuation pattern random number value is in the range of d to e and the fluctuation display mode of the special reach 1 is obtained regardless of the number of reserved memories, the continuous notice effect command 2 is acquired. Also, when the fluctuation pattern random number value is in the range of f to 65535 and the fluctuation display mode of the special reach 2 is set regardless of the number of reserved storage, the continuous notice effect command 3 is acquired. When the variation pattern random value is from c to d and from e to f, the continuous notice effect command is not acquired. Note that the continuous notice effect command 0 may be provided as the continuous notice effect command selected in this case. With such a process, when starting winning a prize for extracting random numbers, the starting memory number at the start of the starting memory variation display game is not known, and therefore, SP reach or the like may not occur even if continuous notice is given. It can solve the problem of being sexual.

  The occurrence rate of the reach state is different depending on the number of start memories, but the occurrence rate of the reach state may be different depending on the gaming state. Further, the set value of the variation pattern random number and the set value of the variation pattern determination value shown here are merely examples, and are not limited thereto.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the start port 1SW monitoring process (step S31) executed in the special figure game process (see FIG. 7), first, the start port 1 switch (first start port SW13a) input is turned on. Is determined (step S70). In the determination of whether or not the start port 1 switch input is ON (step S70), the start port 1 switch (first start port SW13a) that detects a game ball won in the first start winning port 13 is output. It is determined whether there is a game ball detection signal. In the determination of whether or not the start port 1 switch input is on (step S70), if the start port 1 switch input is not on (step S70; No), the start port 1SW monitoring process is terminated. In the determination of whether or not the start port 1 switch input is on (step S70), if the start port 1 switch input is on (step S70; Yes), a process of updating the start port signal output count (step S70; Yes) Step S71) is performed. In the process of updating the number of times of starting port signal output (step S71), processing for updating the information related to the number of times of winning to the first starting winning port 13 output to the management device outside the gaming machine is performed. Thereafter, it is determined (step S72) whether or not the special figure 1 hold number (first start memory) is an upper limit value (for example, 4).

  When it is determined whether or not the special figure 1 holding number is the upper limit value (step S72), if the special figure 1 holding number is the upper limit value (step S72; Yes), that is, the first start memory cannot be stored any more. In the case, the start port 1SW monitoring process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not the special figure 1 holding number is the upper limit value (step S72), if the special figure 1 holding number is not the upper limit value (step S72; No), the special figure 1 holding number is incremented by one. A process (step S73) is performed, and a process (step S74) of acquiring a big hit random value is performed. Thereafter, the process of acquiring the jackpot symbol random number 1 (the jackpot symbol random number for the first special figure variation display game) (step S75), the variation pattern random number 1 (the variation pattern random number for the first special diagram variation display game) is acquired. Processing (step S76) is performed. In the process of storing these various random number values (steps S74 to S76), the process of storing the extracted various random number values in the save area of the various random number values set corresponding to the updated special figure starting stored number. Do. That is, the game control device 30 determines the right to execute the first variable display game based on the winning of the game ball in the first start winning opening 13 (first start winning area) and the result of the special figure variable display game. First start storage means for storing together with related information (big hit random number, big hit symbol random number, fluctuation pattern random number).

  Next, pre-read processing is performed to determine the result related information corresponding to the first start memory before the start timing of the first special figure variation display game based on the first start memory. As the prefetching process, first, it is determined whether or not the normal variation winning device 7 is in the short-time operation state (step S77). In addition, when the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is the short-time operation state, the game state is a probability variation state or a short-time game state. In the determination of whether or not the normal variation winning device 7 is in the short-time operation state (step S77), if the normal variation winning device 7 is in the short-time operation state (step S77; Yes), the decorative special figure 1 hold number command is issued. A setting process (step S86) is performed, and the start port 1SW monitoring process is terminated. That is, in this case, the prefetch process for the first startup memory is not performed. In the determination of whether or not the normal variation winning device 7 is in the short-time operation state (step S77), if the normal variation winning device 7 is not in the short-time operation state (step S77; No), is the condition device operating? It is determined whether or not (step S78).

  In the determination of whether or not the condition device is in operation (step S78), it is determined whether or not the special variation winning device 10 is operating. That is, it is determined whether or not the special game state is in effect. In the determination of whether or not the condition device is in operation (step S78), if the condition device is in operation (step S78; Yes), a process of setting the decoration special figure 1 hold number command is performed (step S86). Then, the start port 1SW monitoring process is terminated. That is, in this case, the prefetch process for the first startup memory is not performed. In the determination of whether or not the condition device is operating (step S78), if the condition device is not operating (step S78; No), it is determined whether or not the big hit random number is a big hit (step S79). .

  In determining whether or not the big hit random number is a big hit (step S79), it is determined whether or not the big hit random number value matches the big hit determination value. The jackpot determination value used here always uses the first determination value that is a value in the normal probability state, regardless of the probability state in which the special result mode is derived in the current special figure variation display game. As a result, when the pre-reading process is performed, it is determined that the probability variation state is a big hit, but when the special figure variation display game is actually executed, it is possible to prevent the normal probability state from being determined to be out of place. In the determination of whether or not the big hit random number is a big hit (step S79), if the big hit random number is a big hit (step S79; Yes), a process of acquiring the continuous notice effect command 4 (step S80) is performed, and the big hit symbol is obtained. Processing for obtaining a stop symbol pattern command corresponding to the random number is performed (step S83). As described above, the continuous notice effect command 4 is selected when the result of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory is a hit.

  In the determination of whether or not the big hit random number is a big hit (step S79), if the big hit random number is not a big hit (step S79; No), a process of obtaining a continuous notice effect command table (step S81) is performed. Then, the process which acquires the continuous notice effect command corresponding to a fluctuation pattern random number (step S82) is performed, and the process which acquires the stop symbol pattern command corresponding to a jackpot symbol random number is performed (step S83). In other words, if the result of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory is out of order, as described above, any one of the continuous notice effect commands 1 to 3 is acquired by the fluctuation pattern random number, or the continuous notice command is not obtained. It has become.

  And as a process which sets the various commands acquired by the above-mentioned process, the process which sets a continuous notice effect command (step S84) and the process which sets a stop symbol pattern command (step S85) are performed. The command set here is output to the effect control device 40 later. Thereafter, a process for setting the decorative special figure 1 hold number command (step S86) is performed, and the start port 1SW monitoring process is terminated.

  From the above, the game control device 30 grants the right to execute the variable display game based on the winning of the game ball to the start winning area (the first start winning port 13, the normal variable winning device 7) of the special figure variable display game. Start-up storage means for storing up to a predetermined upper limit number together with result-related information for determining the result (big hit random number, big hit symbol random number, fluctuation pattern random number). In addition, the game control device 30 serves as a start memory determination unit that compares the random number stored in the start storage unit (game control device 30) with a specific value. Further, the game control device 30 serves as a pre-reading means for prefetching the result related information corresponding to the start-up memory during the execution waiting state of the variable display game whose start-up memory is stored in the start-up storage means (game control device 30).

  Next, processing in the effect control device 40 will be described. The production control device 40 performs processing related to setting of continuous notice. Here, the continuous notice is one of notice notices for notifying the existence of a start memory for executing a special figure variation display game for deriving a special result, and continuously producing over a plurality of special figure fluctuation display games. This is a continuous production. Note that it is not always necessary to notify the derivation of the special result, and it is also possible to notify that there is a possibility that the special result is derived. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the continuous production is executed in response to the winning at the second start winning opening, and the last of the continuous production is performed until the normal variable winning device 7 is converted to the open state next time. The start memory for performing the continuous production is selected so that the fluctuating display game is started.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of continuous production. In this example, when the special figure variation display game is executed in a state where there are four first start memories, the normal variation display game is won and the normal variation winning device 7 is opened (from t1 to t3). In the meantime, there is shown an example in which there is a winning (t2) to the second start winning opening. When there is a winning (t2) at the second start winning opening, execution of the continuous notice is determined with a predetermined probability. At this time, the start memory that is the last of the continuous notice is selected from the start memories that start the special figure variable display game by the time the normal variable winning device 7 is converted to the next open state (t4). ing. That is, the start memory that is the last of the continuous notices is selected from the start memories that execute the games A to D, and the start memory that executes the game E is not selected as the start memory that is the last of the continuous notices.

  In this way, it is possible to prevent inconsistencies in the continuous performance. In other words, if the game E is a special figure variation display game that is the last of the continuous notice, the normal variation winning device 7 is converted to the open state (t4 to t5) during execution of the continuous notice, and the second start winning opening is won. May occur and the second special figure variation display game may be interrupted and executed. However, if the start memory that is the last of the continuous notices is selected from the start memories for executing the games A to D, a new second start memory is stored until the normal variable winning device 7 is converted to the open state next time. The second special figure variation display game is not interrupted and executed in the plurality of first variation display games started up to this time. Therefore, only the special figure variation display game scheduled to the end of the continuous performance can be executed, and it is possible to prevent inconsistency or the like from occurring in the continuous performance. The processing shown in FIGS. 13 to 15 is performed as processing related to such a continuous effect. These continuous notice setting processes are performed every time the start-up memory is generated.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the continuous notice process, which is a process related to the continuous notice, first, it is determined whether or not the normal variation winning device 7 is in the short-time operation state (step S90). If it is not in the short-time operation state (step S90; No) in the determination as to whether or not it is in the short-time operation state at this time (step S90; No), the continuous notice setting process 1 (step S91) is performed, and the continuous notice process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not it is in the short time operation state (step S90), if it is in the short time operation state (step S90; Yes), the continuous notice setting process 2 (step S92) is performed, and the continuous notice process is ended. .

  As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, in the continuous notice setting process 1, first, it is determined whether or not the decoration special figure 2 hold number command has been received (step S <b> 100). The decorative special figure 2 hold number command is output from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 when the second start memory is generated in the above-described start port 2SW monitoring process. In the determination of whether or not the decoration special figure 2 hold number command has been received (step S100), if the decoration special figure 2 hold number command has not been received (step S100; No), the continuous notice setting process 1 is terminated. To do. Further, in the determination of whether or not the decoration special figure 2 hold number command has been received (step S100), if the decoration special figure 2 hold number command has been received (step S100; Yes), the memory to be executed last. The process (step S101) which acquires the continuous notice effect command corresponding to is performed.

  In the process of acquiring the continuous notice effect command corresponding to the memory to be executed last (step S101), the continuous notice corresponding to the start memory to be digested last in the digestion sequence among the currently stored start memories. A process for acquiring a production command is performed. The continuous notice effect command is output from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 when the start notice 1SW monitoring process or the start entry 2SW monitoring process is set. 4 The effect control device 40 stores the continuous notice effect command received corresponding to each start memory. The continuous notice effect command corresponding to the memory executed last is a start memory for executing the game E in the example shown in FIG.

  After performing the process (step S101) of acquiring the continuous notice effect command corresponding to the memory to be finally executed, it is determined whether or not the continuous notice occurrence flag is set (step S102). In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice occurrence flag is set (step S102), if the continuous notice occurrence flag is set (step S102; Yes), the continuous notice setting process 1 is terminated. In this case, continuous notice has already started. Further, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice occurrence flag is set (step S102), if the continuous notice occurrence flag is not set (step S102; No), whether or not the memory other than the memory is confirmed to be released. It is determined whether or not (step S103).

  In the determination of whether or not the memory other than the memory is determined to be out (step S103), it is determined whether or not the result of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory digested before the start memory is out of date. The This determination is made, for example, based on the presence / absence of the continuous notice effect command 4 transmitted to the effect control device 40 only when the result of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory is a big hit in the prefetch result of the start memory. It can be carried out. In the determination of whether or not the memory other than the memory is determined to be out (step S103), if the memory other than the memory is not determined to be out (step S103; No), the continuous notice setting process 1 is terminated. In this case, since a special result is derived in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory that is digested before the start note, the setting of the continuous notice is not performed. If it is determined whether or not the memory other than the memory is determined to be out of memory (step S103), if the memory other than the memory is determined to be out of memory (step S103; Yes), the normal operation until the next release of the general power system is performed. The remaining fluctuation time is acquired (step S104).

  In the process of acquiring the remaining fluctuation time of the usual figure until the next opening of the electric train (step S104), the remaining fluctuation time of the currently running ordinary figure fluctuation display game is obtained, and the normal fluctuation display game is hit next time. The time until the variable winning device 7 is opened is acquired. In addition, when the usual figure fluctuation display game is not started (for example, when the normal fluctuation winning device 7 is operating or when there is no ordinary figure start memory), the fixed value of the fluctuation time (for example, 30 seconds) is acquired as it is. . In addition, if the result of the normal map fluctuation display game being executed is out of sync, the result of the next normal map fluctuation display game is obtained by prefetching the base map start memory, and the normal map fluctuation display game is won. Thus, the time until the normal variation winning device 7 is released is added to the remaining variation time of the normal variation display game being executed. Also, if there is no map start memory to be digested after the normal map display game that results in a disappointing result, the fixed value of the variable time is added to the remaining variable time of the pseudo-variable display game being executed in a pseudo manner . That is, the game control device 30 serves as auxiliary preliminary determination means for determining information related to the result of the normal variation display game scheduled to be executed or being executed before the result of the normal variation display game is derived.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the remaining fluctuation time is longer than the time until the start storage execution (step S105). Here, the remaining fluctuation time is the time acquired in the process (step S104) of acquiring the remaining fluctuation time of the usual figure until the next public power release. In addition, the time until the start memory execution is calculated by adding the execution time of the special figure variation display game based on each start memory digested before the start memory. As the execution time of the special figure variation display game based on each start memory digested before the start memory, the execution time when the start memory at the start of the game is 0 to 2, that is, is assumed. The longest execution time among the execution times may be used, or the total execution time for the start memory may be calculated by a continuous notice effect command. In addition, when calculating by a continuous notice effect command, there may be a start memory without a continuous notice effect command, but in that case, no continuous notice is generated. In addition, in the case of the continuous notice effect command 1, the case of no reach and the case of normal reach are included. To treat as.

  In the determination of whether or not the remaining fluctuation time is longer than the time until the start storage execution (step S105), when the remaining fluctuation time is not longer than the time until the start storage execution (step S105; No), It is determined whether or not a continuous notice is generated (step S116). In the determination of whether or not the remaining fluctuation time is longer than the time until the start storage execution (step S105), when the remaining fluctuation time is longer than the time until the start storage execution (step S105; Yes), It is determined whether or not the storage is successful (step S106).

  In determining whether or not the storage is successful (step S106), it is determined whether or not the received continuous notice effect command is the continuous notice effect command 4. In the determination of whether or not the storage is successful (step S106), if the storage is not successful (step S106; No), it is determined whether or not the storage is SP reach (step S107).

  In determining whether or not the memory is SP reach (step S107), it is determined whether the received continuous notice effect command is the continuous notice effect command 2 or 3. In the determination of whether or not the storage is SP reach (step S107), when the storage is not SP reach (step S107; No), the continuous notice setting process is terminated. In the determination of whether or not the memory is SP reach (step S107), if the memory is SP reach (step S107; Yes), the continuous notice for losing is generated with a predetermined probability. A process of acquiring a notice determination random number (step S108) is performed. Then, a process of determining whether or not a continuous notice occurs from the continuous distribution table for loss (step S109) is performed, and it is determined whether or not a continuous notice is generated by referring to the continuous distribution determination random number for the lost continuous distribution table. . Thereafter, a process of setting a lost value in the big hit flag (step S110) is performed, and it is determined whether or not a continuous notice is generated (step S116).

  In this way, even when the result of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory is lost, the continuous notice can be executed, so that the chance of occurrence of the continuous notice can be increased, and even if the continuous notice is given, it is not always special. Since the gaming state does not occur, it is possible to enhance the interest. Also, in the case of SP reach, it is possible to prevent the reliability of the continuous notice from being lowered by generating a continuous notice at the time of loss with a predetermined probability.

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the memory is a win (step S106), if the memory is a win (step S106; Yes), a process of obtaining the number of continuous operations from the stop symbol pattern (step S111) is performed. . In the process of acquiring the number of continuous operations from the stop symbol pattern (step S111), the type of the special result mode in the special symbol variation display game based on the start memory is acquired from the stop symbol pattern command transmitted from the game control device 30. The number of continuous operations (number of rounds, 15R or 2R) is acquired. Then, it is determined whether or not the acquired number of continuous operations is a predetermined number or more (step S112).

  In the determination of whether or not the acquired number of continuous operations is a predetermined number or more (step S112), whether or not the number of continuous operations acquired in the process of acquiring the number of continuous operations from the stop symbol pattern (step S111) is three or more. Determined. In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, since the number of rounds is either 15R or 2R, it can be said that it is determined whether or not the number of rounds is 15R. In the determination of whether or not the acquired number of continuous operations is greater than or equal to a predetermined number (step S112), if the acquired number of continuous operations is not equal to or greater than the predetermined number (step S112; No), that is, if it is 2R, it is continuous. The notice setting process 1 is terminated. As a result, it is possible to prevent an unsatisfied feeling from being raised due to the occurrence of a big hit of 2R probability change which is not so advantageous to the player, even though the notice of notification is given and the player's expectation is enhanced. .

  In addition, in the determination of whether or not the acquired number of continuous operations is greater than or equal to a predetermined number (step S112), if the acquired number of continuous operations is greater than or equal to the predetermined number (step S112; Yes), that is, 15R. Then, a process of obtaining a continuous notice determination random number for generating a continuous notice for winning with a predetermined probability (step S113).

  After performing the process (step S113) for obtaining the continuous notice determination random number, the process for determining whether or not the continuous notice occurs from the continuous distribution table for attrition (step S114), and the acquired continuous notice determination random number is used for the attrition continuous distribution table. To determine whether to generate a continuous notice. Thereafter, a process for setting an atari value in the jackpot flag (step S115) is performed, and it is determined whether or not a continuous notice is generated (step S116). It should be noted that the attrition continuous distribution table has a higher probability of determining the execution of the continuous notice than the loss continuous distribution table.

  In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice is to be generated (step S116), the process for determining whether the continuous notice is generated from the continuous distribution table for loss (step S109) or the process for determining whether the continuous notice is generated from the continuous distribution table for attrition (step S109). As a result of step S114), it is determined whether a continuous notice has been generated. In the determination of whether or not to generate the continuous notice (step S116), when the continuous notice is generated (step S116; Yes), the process of setting the start memory number to be executed before the corresponding storage to the number of continuous notice executions (Step S117) is performed, a process of setting a continuous notice generation flag (Step S118) is performed, and the continuous notice setting process 1 is terminated. It should be noted that the number of continuous notice executions set in the process of setting the start memorized number executed before the relevant memory to the number of continuous notice executions (step S117) is the start executed before the next regular variable winning device 7 is released. The number is within the number of memories. Further, the continuous notice execution number set here is decremented by one every time the notice of continuous notice is executed (every time the special figure variation display game is executed). Then, when the continuous notice execution count becomes 0, the continuous notice ends. In other words, the game control device 30 and the effect control device 40 pre-determine the result related information related to the result stored corresponding to the first or second start memory, and based on the determination result, the game control device 30 and the effect control device 40 are earlier than the start memory. A continuous effect means for continuously providing effects over a plurality of variable display games corresponding to a plurality of start memories including the start memory stored in the above. It should be noted that the effect control device 40 may be a notice notification means for notifying the occurrence of a special gaming state based on the result of prefetching by the prefetching means (game control device 30) before the execution of the corresponding variable display game (for example, a continuous effect). I can say that.

  Further, in the determination as to whether or not the continuous notice is generated (step S116), when the continuous notice is not generated (step S116; No), it is determined whether or not all the start memories are determined (step S119). In the determination of whether or not all the start memories have been determined (step S119), it is determined whether or not the above-described processing related to the setting of the continuous notice has been performed for all of the currently stored start memories. In the determination of whether or not all the start memories have been determined (step S119), when all the start memories are determined (step S119; Yes), the continuous notice setting process 1 is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not all the start memories have been determined (step S119), when all the start memories have not been determined (step S119; No), the update processing of the continuous notice determination area for the stored amount (step S120). I do.

  In the update processing (step S120) of the continuous notice determination area for the stored amount, the start memory that is digested immediately before the start memory that is the object of the process related to the setting of the above-described continuous notice is changed to the process related to the setting of the continuous notice. A process of updating the continuous notice determination area is performed so as to be a target. In the example shown in FIG. 12, when the process related to the setting of the continuous notice is performed for the start memory for executing the game E, the process for the setting of the continuous notice for the next start memory for executing the game D is performed. The continuous notice determination area is updated so that In addition, when the start memory that is the target of the process related to the setting of the continuous notice is sequentially updated, and the process related to the setting of the continuous notice is performed for the first start memory that executes the game B, the game A is updated in the next update. The second start memory to be executed is the target of the processing related to the setting of the continuous notice. That is, when the process related to the setting of the continuous notice is performed for all the first start memories, the continuous notice determination area is updated so that the process related to the setting of the continuous notice for the second start memories is performed. Thereafter, a process (step S121) of acquiring the corresponding continuous notice effect command is performed, and the continuous notice effect command stored corresponding to the start-up memory that is the target of the process related to the setting of the continuous notice is obtained. Then, the process returns to the determination (step S102) as to whether or not the continuous notice occurrence flag is set.

  Through the processing as described above, a continuous performance is executed in response to a winning at the second start winning opening, and the possibility that the second start memory is generated during the continuous performance can be reduced. The possibility of occurrence can be reduced. In particular, since the start memory for performing the continuous effect is selected so that the variable display game that is the last of the continuous effect is started before the normal variation winning device 7 is converted to the open state next time, the second start is performed in the middle of the continuous effect. It is possible to reliably prevent the occurrence of memory, and to prevent contradiction with the continuous performance. In addition, when the second start memory is generated, it is possible to increase the player's sense of expectation, and the player positively generates the second start memory even when the first start memory reaches the upper limit value. Thus, the game is continued, and so-called stoppage can be prevented.

  From the above, the first start storage means (game control device 30) for storing the right to execute the first variable display game as the first start memory based on the winning of the game ball to the first start winning opening 13 A second start storage means (game control device 30) for storing, as a second start memory, a right to execute the second variable display game based on the winning of the game ball in the second start winning opening, When the random value stored in correspondence with the first or second start memory is a specific value, a special result is derived in the corresponding variable display game and a special gaming state advantageous to the player is generated. In the gaming machine, the second start winning opening is converted into a closed state in which a game ball cannot be won and an open state in which a game ball can be won, and is converted into an open state based on the establishment of a predetermined condition. Provided in the regular variable winning device 7 Even if there is a start memory in the first and second start memory means, only one variable display game is executed, and the second display memory is executed with priority given to the first start memory. The control means (game control device 30) and the result related information related to the result stored corresponding to the first or second start memory are pre-determined and stored before the start memory based on the determination result. Continuous production means (game control device 30 and production control device 40) for continuously producing a plurality of variable display games corresponding to a plurality of start memories including the start memory, This means that the continuous performance is executed in response to the winning at the second start winning opening.

  Further, the continuous effect means (game control device 30 and effect control device 40) executes the continuous effect when the special game state occurs in the start memory to be determined in advance, and even when the special game state does not occur. This means that a continuous effect similar to the case where the special gaming state occurs with a predetermined probability is executed.

  The normal variation winning device 7 is configured to convert the normal variation display game to the open state when the result of the normal variation display game becomes a specific result, and information related to the result in the normal variation display game that is scheduled to be executed or is being executed. Auxiliary pre-determining means (game control device 30) for determining before the result of the normal variation display game is derived is provided, and the continuous effect means (game control device 30, effect control device 40) is determined by the auxiliary pre-determining means. On the basis of the above, the start memory for performing the continuous effect is selected so that the variable display game which is the last of the continuous effect is started until the normal variation winning device 7 is converted to the open state next time.

  In addition, the continuous production means (the game control device 30 and the production control device 40 are newly stored in the first start memory stored in the first start storage means (the game control device 30) until the execution of the continuous production is determined. The preliminary determination is made in order from the start memory, and then the preliminary determination for the second start memory stored in the second start memory means (game control device 30) is performed.

  FIGS. 16 and 17 show an example of a continuous effect executed by such processing. In the example shown in FIG. 16, the presence of the start memory having a high jackpot expectation is notified by changing the display mode of the hold number display displayed on the display unit 43a corresponding to the start memory. As shown in FIG. 16 (a), there are four first start memories, and in the state where the corresponding first hold number display 51 is displayed, the second start memory is generated and the continuous effect is executed. When determined, the display mode of the first hold number display 51 corresponding to the first start memory that is the target of the continuous effect is changed as shown in FIG. In FIG.16 (b), it is alert | reported that the 1st start memory memorize | stored 3rd among 1st start memories has high possibility of a big hit. In addition, with the occurrence of the second start memory, the second hold number display 52 is made on the display unit 43a. The first number-of-holds display 51 in which the display mode has changed is displayed over a plurality of special figure fluctuation display games, and thus a continuous effect is performed. Further, the first hold number display 51 corresponds to the first start memory having the oldest left end display. As the first start memory is exhausted, the first hold number display 51 on the left end is erased and sequentially left. It is displayed to move to. Thereby, the countdown effect that can recognize the number of executions up to the target start memory can be recognized, and the interest of the game can be further improved.

  Further, in the example shown in FIG. 17, the notice character display 53 indicating that the continuous production is being executed is displayed, and the number of remaining games up to the special figure variation display game based on the start memory that is highly likely to be a big hit is displayed. The remaining game number display 54 is performed. The notice character display 53 produces an effect by its action, and the operation mode changes as the number of executions of the special figure variation display game increases from the start of the display (as it approaches the execution timing of the start memory subject to continuous notice). It is going to change.

  The continuous performance is not limited to the one shown here. For example, the background, sound, light emission mode of the lamp or LED, etc. may be changed, or the effects shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 may be used in combination. Furthermore, a stop symbol such as one in which a specific symbol stop mode (for example, “1, 2, 3”) is displayed or a reach state is continuously generated over a special symbol variation display game based on the target start memory. Directing by is also possible. And the effect by this stop symbol may be used together with the effects shown in FIGS. Further, in addition to the case where image display is simply performed continuously, if a story is developed for each variable display game by introducing characters or the like, the interest is further enhanced.

  As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, in the continuous notice setting process 2 performed when the gaming state is the probability variation state or the short-time gaming state, first, it is determined whether or not a continuous notice effect command has been received (step S130) is performed. The continuous notice effect command is output from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 when the start notice 1SW monitoring process or the start entry 2SW monitoring process is set. 4 The continuous notice setting process 2 is a process performed when the gaming state is a probability variation state or a short-time gaming state. However, when the gaming state is a probability variation state or a short-time gaming state, the start port 1SW monitoring process is performed. Thus, the pre-reading process for the first start memory is not performed, and the continuous notice effect command corresponding to the first start memory is not output. Therefore, the continuous advance notice command corresponding to the second start memory is the only continuous advance notice command that is determined to have been received in the determination of whether or not this continuous advance notice command has been received (step S130). In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice effect command has been received (step S130), if the continuous notice effect command has not been received (step S130; No), the continuous notice setting process 2 is terminated. In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice effect command has been received (step S130), if the continuous notice effect command has been received (step S130; Yes), it is determined whether or not the continuous notice effect is being given (step S130). S131) is performed.

  In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice is in progress (step S131), it is determined whether or not the continuous notice is already being executed. This determination is made based on the presence or absence of the continuous notice occurrence flag. If it is determined whether or not the continuous notice is being given (step S131; Yes), the continuous notice setting process 2 is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice is being made (step S131), if the continuous notice is not being made (step S131; No), it is determined whether or not there is a hit before the start storage (step S132). Do.

  In the determination of whether or not there is a hit before the start memory (step S132), it is determined whether or not the result of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory before the start memory is a special result. In this determination, for example, the determination is made based on whether or not the continuous notice effect command 4 is received for the start memory before the start memory. Further, the game control device 30 may transmit prefetch information about the result of the prefetching process (at least the result of hitting and losing) to the effect control device 40, and the determination may be made based on the prefetched information. In the determination of whether or not there is a hit before the start memory (step S132), if there is a hit before the start memory (step S132; Yes), the continuous notice setting process 2 is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not there is a hit before the start memory (step S132), if there is no hit before the start memory (step S132; No), it is determined whether or not the memory is a hit. (Step S133) is performed.

  In the determination of whether or not the memory is a win (step S133), it is determined whether or not the received continuous notice effect command is the continuous notice effect command 4. In the determination of whether or not the storage is successful (step S133), if the storage is not successful (step S133; No), it is determined whether or not the storage is SP reach (step S134).

  In the determination of whether or not the memory is SP reach (step S134), it is determined whether the received continuous notice effect command is the continuous notice effect command 2 or 3. In the determination of whether or not the memory is SP reach (step S134), if the memory is not SP reach (step S134; No), the continuous notice setting process 2 is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not the memory is SP reach (step S134), if the memory is SP reach (step S134; Yes), a continuous notice for losing is generated with a predetermined probability. A process of obtaining a notice determination random number (step S135) is performed. Then, a process for determining whether or not a continuous notice occurs from the continuous distribution table for lost (step S136) is performed, and it is determined whether or not a continuous notice is generated with reference to the continuous random number for determining the continuous notice in the lost continuous distribution table. . Thereafter, a process of setting a lost value to the big hit flag (step S137) is performed, and it is determined whether or not a continuous notice is generated (step S138).

  In this way, even when the result of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory is lost, the continuous notice can be executed, so that the chance of occurrence of the continuous notice can be increased, and even if the continuous notice is given, it is not always special. Since the gaming state does not occur, it is possible to enhance the interest. Also, in the case of SP reach, it is possible to prevent the reliability of the continuous notice from being lowered by generating a continuous notice at the time of loss with a predetermined probability.

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the memory is a win (step S133), if the memory is a win (step S133; Yes), a process of obtaining the number of continuous operations from the stop symbol pattern (step S143) is performed. . In the process of acquiring the number of continuous operations from the stop symbol pattern (step S143), the type of special result mode in the special symbol variation display game based on the start memory is acquired from the stop symbol pattern command transmitted from the game control device 30. The number of continuous operations (number of rounds, 15R or 2R) is acquired. Then, it is determined whether or not the acquired number of continuous operations is a predetermined number or more (step S144).

  In the determination of whether or not the acquired number of continuous operations is a predetermined number or more (step S144), whether or not the number of continuous operations acquired in the process of acquiring the number of continuous operations from the stop symbol pattern (step S143) is three or more. Determined. In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, since the number of rounds is either 15R or 2R, it can be said that it is determined whether or not the number of rounds is 15R. In the determination of whether or not the acquired number of continuous operations is greater than or equal to a predetermined number (step S144), if the acquired number of continuous operations is not greater than or equal to the predetermined number (step S144; No), that is, if it is 2R, it is continuous. The notice setting process is terminated. As a result, it is possible to prevent an unsatisfied feeling from being raised due to the occurrence of a big hit of 2R probability change which is not so advantageous to the player, even though the notice of notification is given and the player's expectation is enhanced. .

  Further, in the determination of whether or not the acquired number of continuous operations is a predetermined number or more (step S144), when the acquired number of continuous operations is a predetermined number or more (step S144; Yes), that is, when it is 15R. Then, it is determined whether the probability is changing (step S145).

  In the determination of whether or not the probability is changing (step S145), it is determined whether or not the current probability state is a probability variation state. In the determination of whether or not the probability is changing (step S145), if the probability is not changing (step S145; No), a process of acquiring a continuous notice determination random number is performed (step S148). In the determination of whether or not the probability is changing (step S145), if the probability is changing (step S145; Yes), a process of acquiring the probability change information from the stop symbol pattern (step S146) is performed.

  In the process of acquiring the probability variation information from the stop symbol pattern (step S146), the probability variation information is acquired from the stop symbol pattern command transmitted from the game control device 30. Then, it is determined whether or not there is a probability variation based on the acquired probability variation information (step S147). In the determination of whether or not this is a probability variation (step S147), the type of the special result mode in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory is set to the probability variation state after the end of the special gaming state (probability variation big hit) Is determined. Prior to the determination of whether or not there is a probability variation (step S147), it is determined whether or not the acquired number of continuous operations is a predetermined number or more (step S144). In the determination of whether or not (step S147), it can be said that it is determined whether or not the special result mode is 15R probability variation. In the determination of whether or not this is a probability variation (step S147), if the probability variation is not (step S147; No), the continuous notice setting process 2 is terminated. In the determination of whether or not there is a probability variation (step S147), if it is a probability variation (step S147; Yes), a continuous notice determination random number for generating a continuous notice for winning with a predetermined probability is acquired. The process (step S148) to perform is performed.

  After performing the process of obtaining the continuous notice determination random number (step S148), the process of determining whether the continuous notice has occurred from the continuous distribution table for attrition (step S149) is performed, and the obtained continuous notice determination random number is used for the attrition continuous distribution table. To determine whether to generate a continuous notice. Thereafter, a process for setting the hit value in the big hit flag (step S150) is performed, and it is determined whether or not a continuous notice is generated (step S138). It should be noted that the attrition continuous distribution table has a higher probability of determining the execution of the continuous notice than the loss continuous distribution table.

  In the determination of whether or not a continuous notice is to be generated (step S138), a process for determining whether a continuous notice is generated from the continuous distribution table for loss (step S136) or a process for determining whether a continuous notice is generated from the continuous distribution table for atari ( As a result of step S150), it is determined whether a continuous notice has been generated. In the determination of whether or not to generate the continuous notice (step S138), when the continuous notice is not generated (step S138; No), the continuous notice setting process 2 ends. In addition, in the determination of whether or not to generate a continuous notice (step S138), when a continuous notice is generated (step S138; Yes), the number of special figure 2 (second start memory number) is set as the number of continuous notice executions. A setting process (step S139) is performed, a process of setting a continuous notice generation flag (step S140) is performed, and the continuous notice setting process 2 is ended. Here, when the operation state of the normal variable winning device 7 is the short-time operation state, the execution of the continuous notice is determined only for the second start memory, but the second start memory has priority over the first start memory. Therefore, the number of notice executions may be the current second start memory number. It should be noted that the number of continuous notice executions set in the process of setting the special figure 2 memory number (second start memory number) to the number of continuous notice executions (step S139) is performed every time the continuous notice is executed (of the special figure variable display game). It is decremented by 1 (for every execution). Then, when the continuous notice execution count becomes 0, the continuous notice ends.

  With the above processing, the first start memory is subject to continuous notice in the normal gaming state, and the continuous notice effect is executed with a predetermined probability in the case of 15R normal big hit, 15R probability big hit or miss. . Note that the pre-reading process for the first start memory is not performed in the short-time gaming state and the probability-variation state when the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is the short-time operation state (see FIG. 9), so the continuous notice effect command is not output. . In the above-described continuous notice setting process 2 (see FIGS. 18 and 19), when the continuous notice effect command is not received, the process regarding the determination of execution of the continuous notice is not performed (prohibited). In the short-time gaming state and the probability variation state, the first start memory is not subject to continuous notice execution. Note that the pre-reading process of the first start memory may be performed during the short-time gaming state and the probability variation state, and the advance notice may be prohibited based on the result.

  The second start memory is subject to continuous notice regardless of the gaming state. However, in the normal gaming state and the short-time gaming state, the 15R probability change big hit, 15R normal big hit or out of success will continue with a predetermined probability. A notice effect is executed. In the probability variation state, the continuous notice effect is executed with a predetermined probability in the case of a big hit or loss of 15R probability variation. Thus, in the probability variation state, the continuous notice for the 15R normal big hit is not performed, so that the notice ratio of the continuous notice for the big hit of 15R is relatively increased. As a result, it is possible to change the notice target according to the interest of the player that changes due to the occurrence of the probability variation state (specific game state), and it is possible to efficiently increase the player's expectation. . It should be noted that if the continuous notice for the 15R normal big hit is not performed in the probability fluctuation state, the execution ratio of the continuous notice for the outage will also increase relatively, and the reliability of the continuous notice will decrease. In such a case, it is preferable that the reliability of the continuous notice is not lowered by lowering the execution probability of the continuous notice regarding the deviation.

  In other words, the player simply expects the occurrence of a special gaming state except during the probability fluctuation state (specific gaming state), so if a notice is given for the occurrence of all the special gaming states, the player's expectation Can be increased. On the other hand, in the probability variation state, the player is more interested in whether or not the next special game state satisfies the predetermined condition than in the occurrence of the special game state. By changing the target of the notice to the occurrence of a special gaming state that satisfies a specific condition, the player's sense of expectation for continuing the probability variation state can be enhanced.

  In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, the continuous notice for 15R probability change big hit and 15R normal big hit is executed except during the probability fluctuation state, but 2R probability change big hit (second special game state) is targeted. The continuous notice is not executed. This prevents the dissatisfaction from being raised due to the occurrence of a big hit of 2R probability change which is not so advantageous to the player as a result, even though the advance notice is given to raise the player's expectation. Because. However, continuous notice may be given for the occurrence of all special gaming states except during the probability fluctuation state.

  In addition, at least during the occurrence of the probability variation state (specific game state), the advance notification for the special game state generated based on the first special figure variation display game is prohibited, so the ratio of the advance notification is set to the variable display device. It is possible to change clearly according to the type (type of special figure variation display game), so that the change in the notice ratio can be realized with certainty.

  Note that the present invention can also be applied to a gaming machine that generates only a short-time gaming state as a specific gaming state without generating a probability variation state, and in this case, a special gaming state that accompanies the occurrence of a short-time gaming state during the specific gaming state. Control is made so that the notice ratio between the special gaming state and other game states changes.

  From the above, the variable display devices (the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9) for displaying the variable display game based on a plurality of identification information, and the start memory as the right to execute the variable display game Start memory means (game control device 30) for storing together with result related information for determining the result of the variable display game, and a special game state advantageous to the player when the result of the variable display game becomes a special result In a gaming machine that generates a specific gaming state that is easy to generate the next special gaming state after the special gaming state is completed based on the establishment of a predetermined condition relating to the occurrence of the special gaming state. Pre-reading means (game control device 30) for pre-reading the result-related information corresponding to the start-up memory during the waiting state for execution of the variable display game whose start-up memory is stored in the storage means; A notice notifying means (production control device 40) for notifying the occurrence of the special gaming state based on the prefetched result by the means before the execution of the corresponding variable display game, the notice notifying means based on the occurrence of the specific gaming state. Thus, the notice notification is changed so that the notice ratio between the special game state with the establishment of the predetermined condition and the other special game state changes. The continuous effect means (the game control device 30 and the effect control device 40) may change the notice ratio between the special game state with the establishment of the predetermined condition and the other special game state based on the occurrence of the specific game state. It can be said that the notice notification is changed.

  The variation display device includes a first variation display device (first special diagram display 8) for displaying a first variation display game (first special diagram variation display game), and a second variation display game (second variation display game). A second fluctuation display device (second special figure display device 9) for displaying a special figure fluctuation display game), and the second fluctuation display apparatus in the second fluctuation display apparatus than the first fluctuation display game in the first fluctuation display apparatus. Priority control means (game control device 30) for preferentially executing the second variable display game, and execution right generation facilitating the generation of the right to execute the second variable display game during the occurrence of the specific game state Means (game control device 30), and the notice notification means (production control device 40) prohibits notice notification for the special game state generated based on the first variable display game during the occurrence of the specific game state. What I did and That. In addition, it can be said that the continuous effect means (the game control device 30 and the effect control device 40) prohibits the advance notice for the special game state generated based on the first variable display game during the generation of the specific game state.

  The special game state includes a first special game state that is executed for a predetermined period and a second special game state that is set to have a shorter execution period than the first special game state. The means (the effect control device 40) prohibits the advance notice for the second special gaming state. It can be said that the continuous effect means (the game control device 30 and the effect control device 40) prohibits the advance notice for the second special game state.

  Also, based on the establishment of a specific condition related to the occurrence of a special gaming state, a special gaming state (probability variation state) that facilitates the generation of the next special gaming state is generated after the special gaming state ends. When the specific gaming state is not occurring, the rendering means (the gaming control device 30 and the rendering control device 40) determines in advance whether or not the starting memory is to generate the special gaming state, while the specific gaming state is occurring. In this case, it is determined in advance whether or not the start-up memory is to generate a special gaming state with the establishment of the specific condition.

  In the above-described embodiment, in the continuous advance notice setting process 1 shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, prior determination is made in order from the newly stored start memory among the first start memories stored in the first start storage means. However, it is not limited to this. For example, contrary to the above-mentioned order, first, the second start memory stored in the second start memory means is preliminarily determined, and then the old start memory stored in the first start memory means is stored in the first start memory. You may make it determine in advance from the direction. Moreover, although the control which determines a continuous production (notice) is performed by the production control device 40, this control may be performed by the game control device 30. In addition, a pre-determination is performed when the second start memory is generated, but the pre-determination is performed every time the start memory (both the first start memory and the second start memory) is generated, and the second start memory is generated. Only when this is done, a process of setting a continuous effect (notice) may be performed.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, when a plurality of game balls are won (a plurality of second start memories are generated) when the normal variation winning device 7 is opened, the continuous notice setting process 1 is performed for the number of game balls won. It is like that. As a result, when a plurality of winnings are generated, the frequency of occurrence of continuous production is higher than in the case of one winning (since the possibility of winning in the allocation process is increased), so that the player's expectation is increased. become. On the other hand, however, if it is decided to execute the continuous production in the first prize, it is actually more than the number of special figure variation display games for the number of continuous productions scheduled in the second prize or later. There is a possibility that the number of special figure variation display games involving effects to be executed will increase and the content of the effects in the continuous effects may be inconsistent. Therefore, a predetermined winning monitoring period is set after the ordinary variable winning device 7 is opened, and if at least one game ball is won within the winning monitoring period, the continuous notice setting process 1 is performed only once at the end of the winning monitoring period. You may do it. In this way, it is possible to solve the problem that inconsistency or the like occurs in the content of the production in the continuous production. The winning monitoring period is a period during which a game ball won when the normal variable winning device 7 is opened can be detected without fail. Alternatively, the winning monitoring period may be set after receiving the special figure 2 hold number command.

  Next, a modified example of the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to portions having the same configuration, and the description is omitted, and mainly different portions. explain. The gaming machine of the present modification is different in game state transition conditions.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the gaming machine of the present modification is special when the result mode is a probability variation symbol (15R probability variation, 2R probability variation), which is a special result mode that is accompanied by the establishment of a predetermined condition in a special figure variation display game. After the gaming state ends, the normal gaming state B1 changes to the probability variation state B2. Further, in the special figure variation display game, when the result mode is a normal symbol (15R normal) which is a special result mode that does not involve the establishment of a predetermined condition, the normal game state B1 to the short-time game state B3 after the special game state ends. Become. When the special figure variation display game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) in the probability variation state B2, or when the result aspect of the special figure variation display game is the special result aspect, the normal game state B1 (So-called number cut). Further, when a special figure variation display game is executed a specified number of times (for example, 100 times) in the short-time game state B3, or when the result form of the special figure change display game is a special result form, the normal game state B1 Become.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 21, when the result of the special figure fluctuation display game is a big hit, the selection probability of the special result mode is the first special figure fluctuation display game (special figure 1) and the second special figure fluctuation display. It differs from the game (Special Figure 2). In addition, the probability of selecting a probability variation symbol is higher than that of the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment. In the first special figure variation display game, the probability that 15R normal is selected is 20%, the probability that 15R probability variation is selected is 60%, and the probability that 2R probability variation is selected is 20%. On the other hand, in the second special figure variation display game, the probability that 15R normal is selected is 20%, the probability that 15R probability variation is selected is 75%, and the probability that 2R probability variation is selected is 5%.

  In the gaming machine of this modification, the first half of the continuous notice setting process 2 shown in FIG. 22 is executed instead of the first half of the continuous notice setting process 2 shown in FIG. The process shown in FIG. 22 differs in that it is determined whether or not the probability variation remaining game counter is equal to or less than a predetermined number (step S170) in the process in the case where there is a winning start-up memory. The probability variation remaining game counter counts the remaining number of special figure variation display games that can be executed in the probability variation state, and is subtracted by one from a prescribed number (for example, 100) each time the special figure variation display game is executed. It has become so.

  In this continuous notice setting process 2, in the determination of whether or not the memory is a win (step S133), if the memory is a win (step S133; Yes), a process of acquiring the number of continuous operations from the stop symbol pattern (Step S143) is performed, and it is determined whether or not the acquired number of continuous operations is a predetermined number or more (Step S144). If the acquired number of continuous operations is equal to or greater than the predetermined number (step S144; Yes) and the probability is changing (step S145; Yes), it is determined whether or not the probability variation remaining game counter is equal to or less than the predetermined number (step). S170) is performed.

  In the determination of whether or not the probability variation remaining game counter is equal to or less than the predetermined number (step S170), if the probability variation remaining game counter is equal to or less than the predetermined number (for example, 49) (step S170; Yes), a continuous notice determination random number is acquired. The process (step S148) to perform is performed. In the determination of whether or not the probability variation remaining game counter is equal to or less than the predetermined number (step S170), if the probability variation remaining game counter is not equal to or less than the predetermined number (for example, 49) (step S170; No), the probability is determined based on the stop symbol pattern. A process of acquiring fluctuation information (step S146) is performed, and it is determined whether the fluctuation is a probability (step S147). And in determination of whether it is a probability fluctuation | variation (step S147), when it is not a probability fluctuation | variation (step S147; No), the continuous notice setting process 2 is complete | finished, and when it is a probability fluctuation | variation (step S147; Yes), A process of obtaining a continuous notice determination random number (step S148) is performed.

  By performing such processing, when the probability variation remaining game counter is 50 times or more in the probability variation state, that is, when the number of executions of the special figure variation display game in the specific game state has not reached the specific number of times, Predictive notices will be given to certain probabilistic symbols that are special outcomes with the establishment of a prescribed condition, and the notice ratio between the occurrence of a special gaming state with the establishment of a prescribed condition and the occurrence of other special gaming states will change. To come. In addition, when the probability variation remaining game counter is less than 50 times in the probability variation state, that is, when the number of executions of the special figure variation display game in the specific game state reaches the specific number, 2R probability change is excluded), and the notice notification is changed so that the changed notice ratio changes again.

  If the probability change remaining game counter is greater than or equal to the predetermined number and the continuous notice for the 15R normal big hit is not performed, the execution ratio of the continuous notice for the outage will also increase relatively, In this case, it is preferable that the reliability of the continuous notice is not lowered by reducing the execution probability of the continuous notice for the loss. That is, it is preferable to adjust the reliability of the continuous notice by changing the execution probability of the continuous notice about the deviation according to the game state and the value of the probability variation remaining game counter.

  When the probability variation count cut function is provided as in the gaming machine of this modification, even if the probability variation state occurs, the next jackpot is not guaranteed, so the probability until the next jackpot shown in the above embodiment is used. Unlike a type of game machine that continues to fluctuate, the player's psychological state changes as the game progresses. That is, in the initial stage of the probability variation state, the probability variation state still continues for a while, so it is often expected that the next jackpot will be a jackpot with the probability variation symbol. However, as the probability variation state progresses, the probability of the probability variation state ending without generating a big hit increases, so it is expected that a big hit will occur regardless of the type of the big hit. In the present modification, it is possible to control the advance notice in response to such a player's psychological state.

  From the above, it is assumed that the specific gaming state (probability variation state) ends when the variable display game that does not involve the occurrence of the special gaming state is executed a predetermined number of times, and the notice notification means (the effect control device 40) After changing the advance notice so that the advance ratio of the special game state with the establishment of the predetermined condition and the other special game state changes based on the occurrence of the specific game state, the variable display game in the specific game state is a specific number of times. In this case, the notice notification is changed so that the changed notice ratio changes again. Note that the continuous effect means (game control device 30 and effect control device 40) changes the notice ratio between the special game state with the establishment of the predetermined condition and the other special game state based on the occurrence of the specific game state. After the notice notification is changed, it can be said that the notice notice is changed so that the changed notice ratio changes again when the variable display game in the specific gaming state reaches a specific number of times.

  In this modification, prior notice notification is given only to the big hit with the probability variation symbol before the number of executions of the variable display game in the specific game state (in the probability variation state) reaches the specific number. However, the notice notification for the big hit with the normal symbol may be executed with a lower probability than the probability variation symbol. Also, before the number of executions of the variable display game in the specific gaming state reaches the specific number of times, the notification is not made only for the 15R big hit, but the notification for the big hit at 2R is also more than the 15R. It may be executed with a low probability. In addition, when the number of executions of the variable display game in the specific gaming state reaches the specific number, the occurrence ratio of the notice notification that is missed may be increased.

  In addition, notice notification of 2R big hit (second special gaming state) is always prohibited, but the number of executions of the special figure variation display game is not in the specific gaming state (in the probability variation state) or in the specific gaming state When the number of times reaches a specific number, the 2R jackpot may be the subject of the notice. In addition, the 2R jackpot (second special game state) is always prohibited from being notified in advance, but before the number of executions of the special figure display game in the specific game state reaches the specific number, the 2R jackpot (first game) When the number of executions of the special figure variation display game in the specific game state reaches the specific number, the 2R jackpot may be the target of the notification.

  From the above, the special game state includes the first special game state that is executed for a predetermined period and the second special game state that is set to have a shorter execution period than the first special game state. The notice notification means (production control device 40) prohibits the notice of notice for the second special game state before the variable display game in the specific game state reaches the specific number of times, and after reaching the specific number of times. This means that the prohibition of the advance notice for the second special gaming state is lifted. The continuous effect means (the game control device 30 and the effect control device 40) prohibits the advance notice for the second special game state and the specific number of times before the variable display game in the specific game state reaches the specific number. It can be said that the prohibition of the advance notice for the second special gaming state is canceled after reaching the above.

  In addition, although the occurrence of a big hit with a probability variation symbol is used as the condition for the occurrence of a probability variation state, it is configured so that a probability variation state is generated after the completion of all big hits, and the control of the notice notification has a great value in the special game state. It may be changed depending on the length (or the length of the execution period). That is, the probability fluctuation state is generated in all of the 15R big hit (big hit with big value, long running period) and 2R big hit (small hit with a small value, short running period), and the probability varying state is the number of outlier display games. Is set to end when the number reaches 100 times. Before the number of executions of the variable display game in the specific gaming state (in the probability variation state) reaches the specific number, a notice is given to the 15R jackpot and in the specific gaming state (in the probability variation state). When the number of executions of the variable display game reaches a specific number of times, the notice target may be changed so that the notice of notice is given to all jackpots.

  In addition, in the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment and the gaming machine of the modified example, two types of special figure fluctuation display games, a first special figure fluctuation display game and a second special figure fluctuation display game, are executed. Only the same one type of special figure variation display game may be executed regardless of which of the first start winning opening 13 and the normal variation winning device 7 is won.

  Further, the notice notification means (effect control device 40) or the continuous effect means (game control device 30, effect control device 40) establishes a predetermined condition together with the first notice notification means for which all special game states are to be noticed. A special notice state associated therewith may be provided as second notice information means having a different notice notice mode from the first notice information means. Then, the notice of advance notice by the first notice notice means is executed except during the specific game state (for example, during the probability variation state), and the notice notice of the second notice information means is executed during the specific game state. In this way, it is possible to clarify the subject of the advance notice to the player. In particular, during the probability variation state or in the short-time game state, the variation time of the variation display game is shortened compared to the normal probability state, so that the notification mode can be made without any sense of incongruity.

  Further, the first notice notification means may be enabled even during the specific gaming state, and the notice notice by the first notice information means may be generated at a lower rate than the notice information by the second notice information means. Further, in this case, when there are a plurality of start memories before the start memory to be notified, the first notice notification means performs the notice notification in the first several start memory change display games, and then the rest The advance notice control means for developing the notice information by executing the notice information by the second notice information means in the starting memory may be provided. In this way, interest can be further improved and a sense of expectation for occurrence of a specific gaming state can be enhanced. It should be noted that when the advance notice is developed, it may be controlled so as to be a big hit.

  In particular, in the gaming machine of the modified example, before the number of executions of the variable display game in the specific gaming state reaches the specific number, the second notice notification means is enabled, and the number of executions of the variable display game in the specific gaming state is specified. After reaching the number of times, the first notice notification means may be made effective. In this way, it is possible to clarify the target of the notice to the player, and to effectively notify the notice corresponding to the player's psychology. Further, the first notice notification means is made effective even before the number of executions of the variable display game in the specific gaming state reaches the specific number of times, and the notice by the first notice notice means is lower than the notice notice by the second notice information means. Notification may be generated. Further, in the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment and the gaming machine of the modified example, the notice notification by the second notice notification means may be valid (operable) even when the specific gaming state is not occurring.

  That is, the notice notification means (effect control device 40) or the continuous effect means (game control device 30 and effect control device 40) is the first notice notification means (effect control device 40) that makes all special game states subject to notice. ), And a second notice notification means (production control device 40) having a special game state with the establishment of a predetermined condition as a notice object and having a notice notice mode different from the first notice information means, from the start memory of the notice object If there are a plurality of start memories before, the notice display by the first notice notice means is executed in the change display game based on the predetermined number of start memories to be digested first, and then the change display based on the remaining start memories is performed. You may make it provide the advance notice control means (effect control apparatus 40) which performs notice notification by the 2nd notice information means in a game.

  Further, the notice information means or the continuous effect means (game control device 30, effect control device 40) may be provided with special notice information means that is not selected in the start-up memory that becomes out of date. That is, when the notice notification is executed by the special notice notification means, the big hit is determined. In this way, the player's expectation can be greatly enhanced. Note that the special advance notice means includes a first special advance notice means for which all special game states are subject to advance notice, and a first special advance notice means for subjecting a special game state with the establishment of a predetermined condition to the advance notice form. The second special notice notification means may be provided.

  In addition, when the notice display means or the continuous effect means (game control device 30 or effect control device 40) has a predetermined number (eg, 200 times) or more of the variable display game number in the specific game state, There may be provided an off-line notice stop means for preventing the off-line notice from being activated in the fluctuating display game. That is, even if it becomes a specific gaming state, if the next special gaming state does not occur easily, the player will be irritated. In such a case, if a notice of outage is given, the irritability will be further enhanced. So this can be prevented.

  The gaming machine 100 as described above has a first start storage means (game control) that stores, as a first start memory, a right to execute the first variable display game based on the winning of a game ball in the first start winning opening 13. Device 30), second start storage means (game control device 30) for storing the right to execute the second variable display game based on winning of the game ball in the second start winning opening as second start memory, When the random number stored corresponding to the first or second start memory is a specific value, a special result is derived in the corresponding variable display game and a special gaming state advantageous to the player is generated The second start winning opening is converted into a closed state in which a game ball cannot be won and an open state in which a game ball can be won, and is opened based on the establishment of a predetermined condition. Ordinary variation prize dress converted to 7 and is configured to execute only one variable display game even when the first and second start memory means have start memories, and prioritize and execute the second start memory over the first start memories. Result-related information related to the results stored in correspondence with the first or second start memory and the variable display game control means (game control device 30) to be determined in advance, and based on the determination result than the start memory Continuous production means (game control device 30 and production control device 40) for continuously producing effects over a plurality of variable display games corresponding to a plurality of start memories including previously stored start memories. The continuous production means executes the continuous production in response to a winning at the second start winning opening.

  Therefore, since the continuous performance means executes the continuous performance in response to winning at the second start winning opening, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the second start memory is generated in the middle of the continuous performance, and contradiction to the continuous performance. It is possible to reduce the possibility of occurrence. That is, the winning at the second start winning opening occurs when the normal variation winning device 7 is converted to the open state, and at this timing, the next predetermined condition is satisfied and the normal variation winning device 7 is opened. There is a predetermined time before conversion. Therefore, if the continuous effect is executed at this timing, the possibility that the second variation display game based on the second start memory is interrupted is low, and the possibility that a contradiction occurs with respect to the continuous effect can be reduced. In addition, when the second start memory is generated, it is possible to increase the player's sense of expectation, and the player positively generates the second start memory even when the first start memory reaches the upper limit value. Thus, the game is continued, and so-called stoppage can be prevented.

  Further, the continuous effect means (game control device 30 and effect control device 40) executes the continuous effect when the special game state occurs in the start memory to be determined in advance, and even when the special game state does not occur. A continuous effect similar to the case where a special gaming state occurs with a predetermined probability is executed.

  Therefore, the continuous performance means executes the continuous performance when the special gaming state occurs in the start memory to be determined in advance, and the special gaming state occurs with a predetermined probability even when the special gaming state does not occur. Since the continuous production similar to the case is executed, it is possible to increase the chances of occurrence of the continuous production, increase the player's expectation, and improve the interest.

  The normal variation winning device 7 is configured to convert the normal variation display game to the open state when the result of the normal variation display game becomes a specific result, and information related to the result in the normal variation display game that is scheduled to be executed or is being executed. Auxiliary pre-determining means (game control device 30) for determining before the result of the normal variation display game is derived is provided, and the continuous effect means (game control device 30, effect control device 40) is determined by the auxiliary pre-determining means. On the basis of the above, the start memory for performing the continuous effect is selected so that the variable display game which is the last of the continuous effect is started before the normal variable winning device 7 is converted to the open state next time.

  Therefore, the normal variation winning device 7 is configured to convert to the open state when the result of the normal variation display game becomes a specific result, and information related to the result in the normal variation display game that is scheduled to be executed or is being executed. Auxiliary advance determination means for determining before the result of the normal variation display game is derived is provided, and the continuous performance means until the normal variation winning device 7 is converted to the next open state based on the determination result by the auxiliary advance determination means. Since the start memory for performing the continuous performance is selected so that the variable display game which is the last of the continuous performance is started, it is possible to reliably prevent the occurrence of the second start memory in the middle of the continuous performance, and to prevent contradiction with the continuous performance. Can be prevented.

  In addition, the continuous production means (the game control device 30 and the production control device 40 are newly stored in the first start memory stored in the first start storage means (the game control device 30) until the execution of the continuous production is determined. The preliminary determination is made in order from the start memory, and then the preliminary determination for the second start memory stored in the second start memory means (game control device 30) is performed.

  Accordingly, the continuous effect means makes a preliminary determination in order from the newly stored start memory among the first start memories stored in the first start memory means until the execution of the continuous effect is decided, and then the second effect is determined. Since the preliminary determination with respect to the second start memory stored in the start storage means is performed, it is possible to increase the number of times of continuous effects, and it is possible to execute an effect with improved interest and high expectation.

  Also, based on the establishment of a specific condition related to the occurrence of a special gaming state, a special gaming state (probability variation state) that facilitates the generation of the next special gaming state is generated after the special gaming state ends. When the specific gaming state is not occurring, the rendering means (the gaming control device 30 and the rendering control device 40) determines in advance whether or not the starting memory is to generate the special gaming state, while the specific gaming state is occurring. In this case, it is determined in advance whether or not the start-up memory is to generate a special gaming state with the establishment of a specific condition.

  Therefore, it is configured to generate a specific gaming state that facilitates the generation of the next special gaming state after the special gaming state ends based on the establishment of the specific condition relating to the occurrence of the special gaming state, When the gaming state is not occurring, it is determined in advance whether or not the starting memory is to generate a special gaming state. On the other hand, when the specific gaming state is occurring, the starting memory is a special game in which a specific condition is met. Since it is determined in advance whether or not the state is to be generated, it is possible to perform an effect that accurately corresponds to the player's expectation. In other words, the player simply expects the occurrence of the special gaming state except during the specific gaming state, so that the player's sense of expectation can be enhanced by giving a notice to the occurrence of all the special gaming states. It becomes like this. On the other hand, in the specific gaming state, the player is more interested in whether or not the next special gaming state satisfies the predetermined condition than in the occurrence of the special gaming state. By changing the target of the notice notification to the occurrence of a special gaming state that satisfies the specific condition, the player's sense of expectation for continuing the specific gaming state can be enhanced.

  Note that the gaming machine of the present invention is not limited to the pachinko gaming machine as shown in the above-described embodiment as a gaming machine, for example, other pachinko gaming machines, arrange ball gaming machines, sparrow ball gaming machines, etc. It can be applied to all gaming machines that use this game ball.
