[Main processing by game control unit 100]
Next, main processing executed in the game control unit 100 will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of main processing repeatedly executed by the game control unit 100. In addition, the process of the game control part 100 demonstrated based on the flowchart after FIG.
This is performed according to a command issued by the CPU 101 based on a program stored in the OM 102.

In the random number update process (step S1), the CPU 101 of the game control unit 100 updates various random numbers such as jackpot random numbers, symbol random numbers, reach random numbers, variation pattern random numbers, and normal symbol random numbers. Here, the jackpot random number is a random number for determining whether the special symbol lottery is won (big hit) or lost (losing). The symbol random number is a random number for determining the winning type when a special symbol lottery is won. The reach random number is a random number for determining whether to perform an effect with reach or an effect without reach when the special symbol lottery is lost. The variation pattern random number is a random number for determining a variation pattern when a special symbol is displayed in a variable manner. The normal symbol random number is a random number for determining whether the normal symbol lottery is won or lost. These random numbers are incremented by “1” every time the process of step S1 is performed. And the value at the time of each lottery is acquired by the process of step S2 and step S3 mentioned later, and is used by the process of step S4 and the process of step S5.

In the start port switch (SW) process (step S2), when the detection signal is output from the first start port switch 111 or the second start port switch 112, the CPU 101 Execute processing to obtain random numbers. The start port switch process will be described later in detail with reference to FIG.

In the gate switch (SW) process (step S3), when a detection signal is output from the gate switch 114, the CPU 101 performs a process of acquiring a normal symbol random number used for the normal symbol process in step S5. This gate switch processing will be described later in detail based on FIG.

In the special symbol process (step S4), the CPU 101 executes a special symbol lottery, displays the special symbol on the display 4 in a variable manner, and then executes a process for stopping and displaying the special symbol indicating the result of the special symbol lottery. . This special symbol process will be described later in detail with reference to FIG.

In the normal symbol process (step S5), the CPU 101 determines whether or not the normal symbol random number acquired in the process of step S3 matches the winning value, and causes the normal symbol display unit 45 to display the normal symbol in a variable manner. A process of stopping and displaying a normal symbol indicating the determination result is performed later.

In the special prize opening process (step S6), the CPU 101 controls the opening / closing of the special prize opening 23 via the special prize opening control unit 116 when the special symbol lottery is won.

In the electric tulip process (step S7), the CPU 101 operates the electric tulip 27 via the electric tulip opening / closing unit 113 when it is determined in the normal symbol process in step S5 that the normal symbol random number matches the winning value. This electric tulip process will be described in detail later based on FIG.

In the prize ball process (step S8), the CPU 101 controls the management of the number of winning game balls and the payout of prize balls according to the prize.

In the output process (step S9), the CPU 101 transmits various commands set in the RAM 103 and information necessary for the effect to the effect control unit 130 in the start port switch process in step S2 and the special symbol process in step S4.

[Configuration of RAM 103 of Game Control Unit 100]
Next, the configuration of the RAM 103 of the game control unit 100 will be described. FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the RAM 103 of the game control unit 100. 6A shows the configuration of the storage area 109 and the hold count storage unit 110 of the RAM 103, and FIG. 6B shows the configuration of the storage units 109A to 109H constituting the storage area 109.

As shown in FIG. 6A, the RAM 103 includes a storage area 109 and a holding number storage unit 11.
0. The storage area 109 stores, for example, a jackpot random number or the like for up to eight reserved balls that can be held in the pachinko gaming machine 1, a first storage unit 109A, a second storage unit 109B, a third storage unit 109C, a fourth The storage unit 109D, the fifth storage unit 109E, the sixth storage unit 109F, the seventh storage unit 109G, and the eighth storage unit 109H are configured.

As shown in FIG. 6B, these storage units 109A to 109H each have a CP.
An area for storing winning start information acquired by U101, an area for storing jackpot random numbers, an area for storing design random numbers, an area for storing reach random numbers, an area for storing variation pattern random numbers, and pre-determination information Includes area.

The winning start information is obtained when the jackpot random number, the design random number, the reach random number, and the variation pattern random number stored in the same storage unit are obtained when the game ball wins the first starting port 21 or This is information indicating whether or not the game ball has been acquired when the second starting port 22 is won.

The pre-determination information is a pre-determination process based on these random numbers obtained by acquiring jackpot random numbers, symbol random numbers, reach random numbers, and variation pattern random numbers at the timing when a game ball wins the first starting port 21 or the second starting port 22 It is information obtained by performing. Specifically, the prior determination information is information indicating whether the winning start information, the special symbol lottery result is a jackpot or a loss,
If it is a big hit, information indicating what type of jackpot is, information indicating whether the production is a reachable or non-reach production, a special symbol variation pattern (
Information indicating the variation time) and information indicating the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 are included. The pre-determination information is stored in the same storage unit as the jackpot random number, symbol random number, reach random number, variation pattern random number, and the like that are the basis for generating the pre-determination information.

By the way, the pachinko gaming machine 1 has a sense of expectation that it will be a big hit at the time of digestion of the reserved ball corresponding to the reserved display image displayed on the liquid crystal display 5 (when the special symbol is variably displayed). For the purpose of embracing, a function of performing a so-called hold prefetching effect that displays the hold display image in a display mode different from the normal display mode is provided. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the game ball performs the same process as a part of the special symbol process (see FIG. 8) performed at the timing when the special symbol variation display is started. This is performed at the timing of winning the second start port 22.

That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, when a game ball wins the first start port 21 or the second start port 22, the CPU 101 acquires various random numbers necessary for the special symbol lottery. In addition, when a game ball wins the first start opening 21 or the second start opening 22 while the special symbol variation is displayed, various random numbers acquired on condition of the start opening winning are stored in the RAM 103, and the special symbol lottery is selected. And special symbols will be suspended. As described above, when the special symbol lottery and the variation display of the special symbol are put on hold, the jackpot determination processing based on various random numbers stored in the RAM 103 (step S408 in FIG. 8) and the variation pattern selection processing (step S409 in FIG. 8). )
Is performed at the time when various random numbers are stored in the RAM 103, not at the start of the special symbol variation display. And the prior determination information which shows the result of this prior determination process is transmitted to the production | presentation control part 130, while notifying that the game ball won to the 1st starting port 21 or the 2nd starting port 22, and holding prefetching production | presentation A process for determining whether or not to perform the process is executed. Such a prior determination process is known as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-104689, and a detailed description thereof is omitted here.

The six pieces of information such as the winning start information, the jackpot random number, the design random number, the reach random number, the variation pattern random number, and the prior determination information shown in FIG. 6B are the first start port 21 or the second start port 22.
Every time a game ball wins, the first storage unit 109A is stored in order. For example, the first storage unit 1
When no information is stored in any of 09A to 8th storage unit 109H,
It is stored in the first storage unit 109A. For example, the first storage unit 109A to the fourth storage unit 109
If six pieces of information are already stored in each of D, the six pieces of newly acquired information are
It will be stored in the fifth storage unit 109E. In addition, when the reserved ball that triggered the acquisition of the random number stored in the first storage unit 109A is digested, the six pieces of information stored in the first storage unit 109A are discarded and each storage A process for shifting the information stored in the unit is performed. For example, in the case where six pieces of information are stored in each of the first storage unit 109A to the third storage unit 109C, when the reserved ball corresponding to the information stored in the first storage unit 109A is digested, the first storage unit The information stored in unit 109A is discarded, and second storage unit 109
The information stored in B is moved to the first storage unit 109A, and the information stored in the third storage unit 109C is moved to the second storage unit 109B.

In the number-of-holds storage unit 110 shown in FIG. 6A, the number of holds U1 of the first special symbol lottery, the second
A special symbol lottery hold number U2 and a normal symbol lottery hold number are stored, and these hold numbers are appropriately updated every time a special symbol lottery or a normal symbol lottery is performed. As with the special symbol lottery, the normal symbol lottery may be put on hold, so that the normal symbol random number acquired when the game ball passes through the gate 25 is also stored in the RAM 103 in the same manner as the jackpot random number. The

[Start-up switch processing by game control unit 100]
FIG. 7 is a detailed flowchart of the start port switch process in step S2 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the CPU 101 of the game control unit 100 has a first start port switch 11.
Based on the presence / absence of a detection signal from 1, it is determined whether or not a game ball has won the first start port 21 and the first start port switch 111 has been turned on (step S201), and it has been determined that it has been turned on. In this case (step S201: YES), the first special symbol lottery holding number U1 stored in the RAM 103 is the first special symbol lottery holding number Umax stored in the ROM 102.
It is determined whether it is less than 1 (“4” in the present embodiment) (step S202).

If the CPU 101 determines that the hold number U1 is less than the maximum hold number Umax1 (step S202: YES), the CPU 101 rewrites the hold number U1 to a value obtained by adding “1” (step S203), 1 Random numbers used in the special symbol lottery (a jackpot random number, a symbol random number, a reach random number, and a variation pattern random number) are acquired and stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 103 (any one of the first storage unit 109A to the eighth storage unit 109H). Store (step S204).

Then, the CPU 101 performs a pre-determination process using the random number stored in one of the storage units 109 in the process of step S204 (step S205). This step S
As a result of the process 205, the advance determination information indicating the result of the advance determination process is obtained in step S.
It is stored in the same storage area where various random numbers are stored in step 204. CPU 101
After performing the preliminary determination process, a predetermined command including the preliminary determination information obtained by the preliminary determination process is set (stored) in the RAM 103 (step S206). This pre-determined command
It is transmitted to the effect control unit 130 by the output process in step S9 of FIG.

On the other hand, the CPU 131 of the effect control unit 130, based on the information included in the pre-determined command, holds the number of the first special symbol lottery stored in the RAM 133 (the hold that won the first start port 21). The number of spheres) is updated, and the process for determining whether or not to hold the pre-reading effect is performed.

When it is determined as “NO” in step S201, when it is determined as “NO” in step S202, or when the process of step S206 is performed, the CPU 101 determines whether there is a detection signal from the second start port switch 112 or not. Then, it is determined whether or not the game ball is won at the second start port 22 and the second start port switch 112 is turned on (step S208). If it is determined that the game ball is turned on (step S208: YES), the RAM 103 is loaded. The stored number U2 of the second special symbol lottery stored is the maximum number Um of the second special symbol lottery stored in the ROM 102.
It is determined whether or not it is less than ax2 (“4” in the present embodiment) (step S209).

When the CPU 101 determines that the hold number U2 is less than the maximum hold number Umax2 (step S209: YES), the CPU 101 rewrites the hold number U2 with a value obtained by adding “1” (step S210).
), A random number (a jackpot random number, a design random number, a reach random number, and a variation pattern random number) used in the second special symbol lottery suspended by the process of step S210 is acquired, and a predetermined area (first storage unit 109A to 109A) of the RAM 103 is acquired. It is stored in one of the eighth storage units 109H (step S211).

Then, the CPU 101 performs pre-determination processing similarly to the processing in step S205, using the random number stored in any storage unit of the storage area 109 in the processing in step S211 (step S212). After performing the pre-determination process, the CPU 101 sets (stores) a pre-determination command including the pre-determination information obtained by the pre-determination process in the RAM 103 (step S).
213). This prior determination command is transmitted to the effect control unit 130 by the output process in step S9 of FIG.

On the other hand, the CPU 131 of the effect control unit 130, based on the information included in the pre-determined command, holds the number of the second special symbol lottery stored in the RAM 133 (the hold that won the second start port 22). The number of spheres) is updated, the process for determining whether or not to perform a pre-reading effect, the process for determining whether to perform a dedicated effect or a normal effect, and the like are performed.

As described above, the CPU 101 functioning as the detection result output unit is configured to output the first start port switch 1.
11 or based on a detection signal from the second start port 112, the winning of the game ball to the first start port 21 or the second start port 22 is detected, and as detection result information indicating the detection result, step S206 or The predetermined command set in the RAM 103 in the process of step S213 is output to the effect control unit 130 that functions as effect control means.

[Special symbol processing by game control unit 100]
FIG. 8 is a detailed flowchart of the special symbol process in step S4 of FIG. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, the CPU 101 of the game control unit 100 determines whether or not the jackpot is based on the information stored in the RAM 103 (step S401). If the CPU 101 determines that the jackpot is being hit (step S401: YES), since the special symbol representing any jackpot has already been stopped, the special symbol processing is performed without starting the special symbol variation display. When finished, the process proceeds to normal symbol processing.

If the CPU 101 determines that the jackpot is not being hit (step S401: NO), the CPU 101 determines whether or not the special symbol change display is being performed by the first special symbol display 41 or the second special symbol display 42 (step S401). S402). If the CPU 101 determines that the special symbol variation display is not in progress (step S402: NO), based on the result of the electric tulip process (see FIG. 11) described later, is the second start port 22 being long open? No (electric tulip 27
Is determined in step S403). Here, the second start port 22
Is determined not to be long open by the CPU 101 (step S403: NO)
Then, the series of special symbol processing ends and the processing proceeds to normal symbol processing.

By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the effect that is performed on the liquid crystal display 5 in accordance with the change display of the special symbol corresponding to the game ball won in the second starting port 22 while the second starting port 22 is long open, A liquid crystal display 5 with a special symbol change display corresponding to a game ball won in one start opening 21
A special effect different from the effect performed in is performed. The second start port 22
When the second special symbol lottery corresponding to the game ball won at the second starting opening 22 and the subsequent variation display of the second special symbol are continuously performed during the long opening of The related continuous production will be performed.

For this reason, the second special symbol lottery in which the dedicated effect needs to be performed before starting the dedicated effect corresponding to the game ball first won in the second start port 22 while the second start port 22 is long open. It is necessary to determine the number of holds for this. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the second start port 22 is being opened long (step S403: YES), a series of special symbol lotteries is terminated, and the second start port 22 is finished.
Is not in the long open state, the processing after step S404 described below is performed.

When the CPU 101 determines that the second start port 22 is not being opened long (step S40).
3: NO), it is determined whether or not the number of holds U2 stored in the RAM 103 is “1” or more (step S404), and when it is determined that the number of holds U2 is “1” or more (step S4).
04: YES), the hold number U2 is rewritten to a value obtained by subtracting “1” (step S405).

When the CPU 101 determines that the hold number U2 is not “1” or more (step S404).
: NO), it is determined whether or not the hold number U1 stored in the RAM 103 is equal to or greater than “1” (step S406), and when it is determined that the hold number U1 is equal to or greater than “1” (step S40).
6: YES), the hold count U1 is rewritten to a value obtained by subtracting “1” (step S407).

The CPU 101 functioning as a special symbol lottery means, step S405 or step S4.
After performing the process of 07, the jackpot determination process is executed (step S408). Specifically, when the process of step S408 is executed following the process of step S405, the CPU 10
1 determines whether or not the jackpot random number acquired in the process of step S211 matches the jackpot winning value stored in the ROM 102. On the other hand, when the process of step S408 is executed subsequent to the process of step S407, it is determined whether or not the jackpot random number acquired in the process of step S204 matches the jackpot winning value stored in the ROM 102. Thereby, it is determined whether or not the result of the first special symbol lottery or the second special symbol lottery is a big hit.

If the result of the special symbol lottery is a jackpot, the symbol random number obtained together with the jackpot random number used in this lottery matches any symbol random number assigned to each of the multiple types of jackpots stored in the ROM 102 The type of jackpot is determined according to whether or not to do. The jackpot symbol corresponding to the jackpot type is set as setting information in the RAM 103 (
Store. On the other hand, when the result of the special symbol lottery is a loss, a lost symbol indicating that the special symbol lottery has been lost is set in the RAM 103 as setting information.

The CPU 101 executes the variation pattern selection process after setting the jackpot symbol or the lost symbol by the process of step S408 (step S409). Specifically, when it is determined that the jackpot is determined to be a big hit in the step S408, the big hit variation pattern table is read from the ROM 102 and set in the RAM 103. On the other hand, if it is determined that the game has been lost, the player is determined based on whether or not the reach random number acquired together with the jackpot random number and symbol random number used in the process of step S408 matches the reach random number stored in the ROM 102. It is decided whether or not to perform reach production to expect a big hit. When it is determined that the reach effect is to be performed, the fluctuation pattern table for reach is stored in the ROM 1
When reading from 02 is set in the RAM 103 and it is determined that the reach effect is not performed, the variation pattern table for loss is read from the ROM 102 and set in the RAM 103. Here, the variation pattern table is a table in which a plurality of variation patterns (variation times 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds, etc.) prepared in advance are associated with random numbers of variation pattern random numbers.

Subsequently, the CPU 101 refers to the set variation pattern table and performs step S4.
The variation pattern of the special symbol is determined by selecting the variation pattern corresponding to the variation pattern random number acquired together with the jackpot random number and the symbol random number used in the process of 08. The variation pattern selected in this way is set in the RAM 103 as setting information.

In this way, the CPU 101 executes the first special symbol lottery on the condition that the game ball has won the first starting port 21 and determines the variation pattern of the first special symbol according to the lottery result,
A second special symbol lottery is executed on the condition that a game ball has won the second starting port 22 and a variation pattern of the second special symbol is determined according to the lottery result. As is clear from the above description, when both the first special symbol lottery and the second special symbol lottery are put on hold, the second special symbol lottery is prioritized prior to the first special symbol lottery. To be executed (preferred digestion).

After performing the process of step S409, the CPU 101 generates a variation start command including the symbol setting information set in step S408, the variation pattern setting information set in step S409, and the like, and sets it in the RAM 103. (Step S410). This variation start command is a command for instructing the liquid crystal display 5 to start the variation display of decorative symbols, and is transmitted to the effect control unit 130 by the output process in step S9 of FIG.

After performing the process of step S410, the CPU 101 starts the special symbol variation display by the first special symbol display 41 or the second special symbol display 42 based on the setting information included in the variation start command. (Step S411), the measurement of the fluctuation time after the fluctuation display is started is started (Step S412).

If the CPU 101 starts measuring the variation time by the process of step S412, or determines that the special symbol variation is being displayed (step S402: YES), the CPU 101 performs the variation of step S409 from the start of the variation time measurement in step S412. It is determined whether or not the variation time corresponding to the variation pattern set in the pattern selection process has elapsed (step S41).
4). When the CPU 101 determines that the fluctuation time has not elapsed (step S4)
14: NO), the special symbol process ends, and the process proceeds to the normal symbol process in step S5 of FIG.

On the other hand, if the CPU 101 determines that the fluctuation time has elapsed (step S414: YE)
S), a variation stop command for instructing the end of the variation display of the decorative symbol is set in the RAM 103 (step S415), the variation display of the special symbol started in the process of step S411 is terminated (step S416), and the measured variation time Is reset (step S417). In addition,
The variation stop command is transmitted to the effect control unit 130 by the output process in step S9 of FIG.

After resetting the fluctuation time, the CPU 101 executes a stop process such as starting the opening / closing control of the special winning opening 23 via the special winning opening control section 116 when it is determined that the big winning is achieved (step S418).

[Gate switch processing by game control unit 100]
FIG. 9 is a detailed flowchart of the gate switch process in step S3 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, following the start-up switch process in step S <b> 2, the CPU 101 passes the gate 25 through the gate 25 based on the presence / absence of a detection signal from the gate switch 114, and the gate switch 114 is turned “ON”. Is determined (step S301), and “O
N ”(step S301: YES), the normal symbol lottery holding number G stored in the holding number storage unit 110 of the RAM 103 is equal to the normal symbol lottery holding number Gmax stored in the ROM 102. It is determined whether it is less than (4 in this embodiment) (step S302).

When the CPU 101 determines that the hold number G is less than the maximum hold number Gmax (
Step S302: YES), the number G of holdings is rewritten to a value obtained by adding “1” (step S30)
3) The normal symbol random number used for the normal symbol lottery reserved in this process is acquired, and the RAM 1
The data is stored in a predetermined area 03 (step S304). When the process of step S304 is performed, when the CPU 101 determines that the gate switch 114 is not “ON” (step S301: NO), or when the CPU 101 determines that the hold number G is not less than Gmax (Step S302: NO), a series of gate switch processing ends, and the processing proceeds to the special winning opening processing of Step S6.

[Gate switch processing by game control unit 100]
FIG. 10 is a detailed flowchart of the normal symbol process in step S5 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 10, after the special symbol process in step S4, the CPU 101
It is determined whether or not the auxiliary game flag stored in 103 is set to “ON” (
Step S501). Here, the auxiliary game flag is a flag indicating whether or not an auxiliary game in which the electric tulip 27 is operating, and is set to “ON” when the electric tulip 27 is operating. Is set to “OFF” when is not operating. When the CPU 101 determines that the auxiliary game flag is set to “ON” (step S201: YES), the series of normal symbol processing ends, and the processing proceeds to the big prize opening processing in step S6.

When the CPU 101 determines that the auxiliary game flag is not set to ON (step S501: NO), that is, when the electric tulip 27 is not operating, whether or not the normal symbol on the normal symbol display 45 is changing. Is determined (step S502).

If the CPU 101 determines that the normal symbol is not changing (step S502: NO)
), It is determined whether or not the reserved number G of normal symbols is “1” or more (step S503). Here, when the CPU 101 determines that the number of holds G is not “1” or more, the series of normal symbol processing ends, and the processing proceeds to the special winning opening processing in step S6.

When the CPU 101 functioning as the normal symbol lottery means determines that the number of reservations G is “1” or more (step S503: YES), the CPU 101 rewrites the number of reservations G to a value obtained by subtracting “1” (step S504). A determination process is performed (step S505). Specifically, a process of determining whether or not the normal symbol random number stored in the RAM 103 in the process of step S304 matches any winning value stored in the ROM 102 is performed.

As described above, the CPU 101 executes the normal symbol lottery on the condition that the game ball has passed through the gate 25 provided at a predetermined position in the game area 20.

The CPU 101 determines whether or not the result of the hit random number determination process is a win (step S506), and when it is determined that the hit is not a win (step S506: NO), sets the off symbol (step S507).

On the other hand, if the CPU 101 determines that it is a win (step S506: YES),
It is determined whether it is per long opening that opens the second start port 22 long (step S508),
When it is determined that it is per long release (step S508: YES), a symbol per long release is set (step S509). On the contrary, when it is determined that it is not per long opening (step S508: NO), a symbol per short opening is set (step S510).

FIG. 11 is an explanatory view exemplifying a normal symbol lottery table stored in the ROM 102. As illustrated in FIG. 11, the normal symbol random numbers are respectively obtained when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the normal gaming state or the latent gaming state and when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the probability changing gaming state or the short-time gaming state. Set individually. The range that the normal symbol random number can take is 0 to 99 in any gaming state in this embodiment.

For the normal gaming state or the latent gaming state, the winning value per long release is four (“0” to “3”
]), The probability of winning per long open is 4/100. The normal symbol random number acquired in the process of step S304 in the normal gaming state or the latent gaming state is “0”.
When it is any one of “3”, it is determined that it is per long opening, and the second operation of the electric tulip 27 is performed. Further, regarding the normal game state or the latent game state, the winning value per short opening is set to six ("4" to "9"), so the probability of winning per short opening is 6/100. When the normal symbol random number acquired in the process of step S304 in the normal gaming state or the latent gaming state is any one of “4” to “9”, it is determined that the short-opening is per unit, and the electric tulip 27 The first operation is performed. In addition, regarding the normal game state or the latent game state, since 90 out of random numbers (“10” to “99”) are set, the probability that the result of the normal symbol lottery will be out is 90/100.

On the other hand, for the probability variation gaming state or the short-time gaming state, since 100 winning values for the normal symbol lottery are set, the probability of winning the normal symbol lottery is 100/100. The normal symbol random number acquired in the process of step S304 in the probability variation gaming state or the short-time gaming state is “0” to “
If it is “99”, it is determined that the normal symbol lottery has been won, and the above-mentioned electric chew support is performed.

As described above, in the processing from step S505 to step S510, the winning random number is determined using the normal symbol lottery table illustrated in FIG. 11, and the symbol corresponding to the determination result is set.

Following the processing of step S507, the processing of step S509, or the processing of step S510, the CPU 101, based on the information indicating the gaming state stored in the RAM 103,
It is determined whether or not the game state is a probability variation gaming state or a time-saving gaming state (step S511). here,
If it is determined that the game state is a probable game state or a short-time game state (step S511: YES)
When the normal symbol variation time is set to 3 seconds (step S512) and it is determined that the probability variation gaming state or the short-time gaming state is not established (step S511: NO), that is, when the normal gaming state or the latent gaming state is established. The normal symbol variation time is set to 29 seconds (step S5).
13). After setting the normal symbol variation time in this way, the CPU 101 starts the normal symbol variation display by the ordinary symbol display 45 (step S514), and starts measuring the elapsed time from the start of the variation display. (Step S515).

On the other hand, if the CPU 101 determines that the normal symbol is changing (step S502:
YES), it is determined whether or not the normal symbol fluctuation time has ended (step S517). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the elapsed time when measurement is started in step S515 has reached the normal symbol variation time set (set) in step S512 or step S513. If the CPU 101 determines that the normal symbol variation time has not ended (step S517: NO), the series of normal symbol processing ends, and the process proceeds to step S6.
It is advanced to the big prize mouth processing.

If the CPU 101 determines that the normal symbol variation time has elapsed (step S517: YES), the CPU 101 ends the normal symbol variation display by the normal symbol display 45 (step S518). By performing the process of step S518, the normal symbol display 45
In addition, the symbol (ordinary symbol) set in step S507, step S509, or step S510 is stopped and displayed.

Subsequent to the process of step S518, the CPU 101 resets the elapsed time when the measurement was started in the process of step S515 (step S519), and determines whether or not it is the same as the process of step S506 (step S520). Here, if it is not a hit, the CPU 10
If it is determined by 1 (step S520: NO), a series of normal symbol processing ends. Conversely, if the CPU 101 determines that it is a win (step S520: YES)
), The auxiliary game flag stored in the RAM 103 is set to “ON” (step S5).
21). Thereby, the operation (auxiliary game) of the electric tulip 27 is started.

[Electric tulip processing by game control unit 100]
FIG. 12 is a detailed flowchart of the electric tulip process in step S7 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 12, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the auxiliary game flag stored in the RAM 103 is set to “ON” following the special winning opening process in step S6 (step S701). If the CPU 101 determines that the auxiliary game flag is not set to “ON” (step S701: NO), the process proceeds to the prize ball process in step S8 without executing the electric tulip process.

When the CPU 101 functioning as the accessory control means determines that the auxiliary game flag is set to “ON” (step S701: YES), the CPU 101 determines whether the electric tulip 27 is in operation (step S702). ), When it is determined that the electric tulip 27 is not in operation (step S702: NO), it is determined whether or not it is a probability variation gaming state or a time-saving gaming state (step S703). When it is determined that the game state is not probabilistic gaming state or short-time gaming state (
Step S703: NO), that is, in the case of the normal gaming state or the latent gaming state, the CPU
101 determines whether or not the hit type in the normal symbol processing is per long release (
Step S704). Here, when it is determined that it is per long release (step S704:
YES), the operation pattern of the electric tulip 27 is set to an operation pattern in which the operation of opening the second start port 22 for 5 seconds is performed once (step S705). Then, the CPU 101 functioning as the operation pattern output means has the electric tulip 2 in which the second start port 22 is opened long.
An open command for notifying the effect control unit 130 that the operation 7 is started
Set to M103 (step S706). The open command set in the process of step S706 is transmitted to the effect control unit 130 by the output process of step S9. The CPU 131 of the effect control unit 130 receives this open command,
It is possible to determine a period during which the second start port 22 is opened long.

Thus, the CPU 101 outputs an open command as operation pattern information indicating the operation pattern of the electric tulip 27 in the second operation to the effect control unit 130. In the present embodiment, as an operation pattern information, a case where an open command for notifying the start of the second operation is transmitted from the game control unit 100 to the effect control unit 130 will be described. From the game control unit 100 to the effect control unit 1 using two commands, a command for notifying the start of the second action and a command for notifying the end of the second action, as action pattern information.
You may make it transmit to 30. That is, the motion pattern information is stored in C of the production control unit 130.
Any information may be used as long as the PU 131 can determine the opening period of the second start port 22 by the second operation of the electric tulip 27.

When the CPU 101 determines that it is not per long release (step S704: NO),
That is, when it is per short opening, the operation pattern of the electric tulip 27 is set to an operation pattern in which the operation of opening the second start port 22 for 0.1 second is repeated twice (step S70).
7).

On the other hand, when it is determined that the CPU 101 is in the probability-changing gaming state or the short-time gaming state (step S703: YES), the operation pattern of the electric tulip 27 is set to 1.
An operation pattern in which the operation of opening for 8 seconds is repeated three times is set (step S708).

The CPU 101 performs the process of step S706, the process of step S707, or step S707.
After performing the processing of 708, the electric tulip 27 is connected via the electric tulip opening / closing part 113.
Is started (step S709).

Accordingly, when the normal symbol lottery is won in the normal gaming state or the latent gaming state and the winning result is per short opening, the first operation by the electric tulip 27 is started, and the winning result is per long opening. There are more game balls in the second than in the first action.
A second operation capable of winning a prize at the start port 22 is executed by the electric tulip 27. Further, when the normal symbol lottery is won in the probability variation gaming state or the short-time gaming state, more game balls can win the second starting port 22 and the electric tulip 27 is more frequent than when the second action is performed. The electric tuple support which is activated at the same time is executed by the electric tulip 27. That is, in the present embodiment, three patterns of operation by the electric tulip 27 are performed based on the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the type of the normal symbol lottery.

When the CPU 101 performs the process of step S709 or determines that the electric tulip 27 is operating (step S702: YES), the process of step S705,
It is determined whether or not the operation of the operation pattern set in step S707 or the operation of step S708 has been completed (step S711). Here, when it is determined that the operation is completed (step S711: YES), the auxiliary game flag is set to “OFF”, and the series of electric tulip processing ends.

In addition, the numerical value in the fluctuation | variation time of the normal symbol demonstrated in this embodiment and the operation pattern of the electric tulip 27 is an example, Comprising: It can change suitably.

[Configuration of RAM 133 of Effect Control Unit 130]
FIG. 13 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the RAM 133 of the effect control unit 130. FIG.
(A) shows the configuration of the first effect information storage unit 1331, the second effect information storage unit 1332, and the hold number storage unit 1333 of the RAM 133. FIG. 13B illustrates a configuration of each of the storage units 1332A to 1332D illustrated in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 13A, the RAM 133 stores the first effect information storage unit 1331 that stores various types of information about the reserved ball won at the first start port 21 and the reserved ball won at the second start port 22. It has the 2nd production information storage part 1332 which memorize | stores various information, and the number-of-holds memory | storage part 1333 which memorize | stores the number-of-holds U1 and U2 acquired from the game control part 100.

The 1st production information storage part 1331 contains a plurality of storage parts which memorize information about each reservation ball for which the 1st special symbol lottery is reserved. Since the maximum holding number Umax1 of the first special symbol lottery that can be held in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is “4”, the first effect information storage unit 1331 includes the first storage unit 1331A, the second storage unit 1331B, and the third storage. It includes four storage units, a unit 1331C and a fourth storage unit 1331D.

The 2nd production information storage part 1332 contains a plurality of storage parts which memorize information about each reservation ball for which the 2nd special symbol lottery is reserved. Since the maximum holding number Umax2 of the second special symbol lottery that can be held in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is “4”, the second effect information storage unit 1332 includes the first storage unit 1332A, the second storage unit 1332B, and the third storage. It includes four storage units, a unit 1332C and a fourth storage unit 1332D.

Among these storage units, the first storage unit 1331A to the fourth storage unit 1331D are not shown in the figure, but include advance determination information included in the advance determination command received from the game control unit 100. Stored.

In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 13B, each of the first storage unit 1332A to the fourth storage unit 1332D has an area for storing advance determination information, an area for storing a dedicated effect number, And an area for storing the total number of steps.

The advance determination information is advance determination information included in the advance determination command received from the game control unit 100. Of the preliminary determination information acquired from the game control unit 100, the preliminary determination information for the game ball won in the first start port 21 is stored in any of the first storage unit 1331A to the fourth storage unit 1331D, and the second start port The pre-determining information for the game ball won in 22 is stored in one of the first storage unit 1332A to the fourth storage unit 1332D.

The dedicated production number is used when the special production accompanying the digestion of the second special symbol lottery is performed continuously.
This is a number indicating which number of dedicated effects in the series of dedicated effects. In the present embodiment, since the maximum number of reservations Umax2 of the second special symbol lottery is “4”, the maximum value of the dedicated effect number is “4”.

By the way, in this embodiment, when exclusive productions are performed continuously, the production contents of the dedicated productions are related to each other (see FIGS. 19 and 20). The total number of steps indicates the number of dedicated effects constituting this continuous effect.

The information stored in the first storage unit 1331A to the fourth storage unit 1331D is the first start port 2
1 each time a game ball wins and a pre-determined command is transmitted from the game control unit 100, the first storage unit 1331A is stored in order. Each time the first special symbol lottery corresponding to the holding ball corresponding to the information stored in the first storage unit 1331A is digested, the first storage unit 1331 is used.
A shift process for discarding the information stored in A and shifting the information in each storage unit to the first storage unit 1331A side is performed. Such processing is similarly performed on information stored in the first storage unit 1332A to the fourth storage unit 1332D.

[Production control processing by production control unit 130]
Hereinafter, the effect control process executed by the effect control unit 130 will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15. Here, FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 are flowcharts showing an example of the effect control process executed by the effect control unit 130. Note that the processing of the effect control unit 130 described based on the flowcharts of FIGS. 14 and 15 is performed according to a command issued by the CPU 131 based on a program stored in the ROM 132.

First, the CPU 131 of the effect control unit 130 determines whether or not the open command set in the process of step S706 described above has been received from the game control unit 100 (step S).
101). If it is determined that an open command has been received (step S101: Y
ES), since it can be determined that the second operation of the electric tulip 27, that is, the long opening of the second starting port 22 is started, the long opening flag stored in the RAM 133 is set to “ON” (
Step S102), the measurement of the elapsed time after receiving the open command is started (Step S103). Here, the long open flag indicates whether or not the second start port 22 is long open, and is set to “ON” while the second start port 22 is long open, and the second start port 22 While the mouth 22 is not opened long, it is set to “OFF”.

On the other hand, when determining that the open command from the game control unit 100 has not been received (step S101: NO), the CPU 131 determines whether or not the long release flag is set to “ON” (step S104). . Here, when it is determined that the long release flag is set to “ON” (step S104: YES), the elapsed time when the measurement is started in the process of step S103 is second started by the second operation of the electric tulip 27. It is determined whether or not a long opening time for opening the mouth 22 has been reached (step S105).

If the CPU 131 determines that the elapsed time during counting has reached the long open time (5 seconds in the present embodiment) stored in advance in the ROM 132 (step S105: YES), the RA 131
The long release flag stored in M133 is determined to be “OFF”.

In this way, in the effect control unit 130, the long release flag is set to “ON” at the timing when the long opening of the second start port 22 is started, and the long release flag is set to “OFF” at the timing when the long release ends. Set to Therefore, it is possible to determine whether or not the second start port 22 is being opened long by referring to the long release flag.

When the CPU 131 performs the process of step S103, performs the process of step S106, or determines that the long release flag is not set to “ON” (step S10).
4: NO), or when it is determined that the elapsed time has not reached the long open time (step S10)
5: NO), it is determined whether or not a pre-determined command transmitted from the game control unit 100 has been received (step S108). Here, if a pre-determined command has not been received, the CPU 131
(S108: NO), the process proceeds to step S116 of FIG.

If the CPU 131 determines that a pre-determined command has been received (step S108: Y)
ES), based on the winning start information included in the pre-determined information included in the pre-determined command, the start opening where the holding ball corresponding to the pre-determined command has won is determined (step S109).
) Based on the determination result, the first special symbol lottery hold number U1 or the second special symbol lottery hold number U2 stored in the hold number storage unit 1333 of the RAM 133 is rewritten to a value obtained by adding “1” ( Step S110). Then, the CPU 131 stores the advance determination information included in the advance determination command in the RAM 133 (step S111). Specifically, when the winning start information included in the pre-determination information indicates the first start opening 21, the pre-determination information is stored in any one of the first storage unit 1331A to the fourth storage unit 1331D. Stored in the storage unit,
When the winning start port information indicates the second start port 22, the prior determination information is stored in any one of the first storage unit 1332A to the fourth storage unit 1332D.

Following the processing of step S111, the CPU 131 determines whether or not the winning start port is the second start port 22 based on the determination result of step S109 (step S112).
If it is determined that it is the start port 22 (step S112: YES), it is determined whether or not the long release flag stored in the RAM 133 is set to “ON” (step S113).
).

If the CPU 131 determines that the long release flag is set to “ON” (step S113: YES), the CPU 131 determines that it is necessary to perform the dedicated effect, and R is used to obtain information regarding the dedicated effect.
It stores in the 2nd production information storage part 1332 of AM133 (step S114). Specifically, the dedicated effect number and the total number of steps are stored in the same storage unit that stores the prior determination information in the process of step S111.

16 and 17 are explanatory diagrams for explaining information related to the dedicated effect stored in the second effect information storage unit 1332.

For example, when three pre-determined commands transmitted from the game control unit 100 are received during one long opening of the second start port 22, the process of step S114 is repeated three times, as illustrated in FIG. Information is stored in the second effect information storage unit 1332. In the example shown in FIG. 16, the result of the second special symbol lottery corresponding to each of the three game balls won in the second starting port 22 during the long opening of the second starting port 22 is “out of”. A continuous effect composed of three dedicated effects will be performed (see, for example, FIG. 19).

Further, for example, when four pre-determined commands transmitted from the game control unit 100 are received during one long opening of the second start port 22, the process of step S114 is repeated three times, and FIG.
7 is stored in the second effect information storage unit 1332. In the example shown in FIG. 17, the result of the second special symbol lottery corresponding to the last game ball won out of the four game balls won in the second start port 22 during the long opening of the second start port 22 is a big hit Thus, a continuous effect composed of four dedicated effects is performed (see, for example, FIG. 20).

When the winning start port is the first starting port 21, the long release flag is set to “OFF” even if the winning start port is the second starting port 22 (the second starting port 22 is being opened long). If not, the information related to the dedicated effect (here, the dedicated effect number and the total number of steps) is stored in the second information storage unit 1
332 is not stored. In this case, a normal effect (see, for example, FIG. 18) is performed instead of a dedicated effect.

When CPU 131 performs the process of step S114, “NO” is determined in step S108.
If it is determined to be “NO” in step S112, or if “NO” is determined in step S113, a variation start command transmitted from the game control unit 100, for example, is received as shown in FIG. Based on the elapsed time since then, it is determined whether or not an effect accompanied by a decorative display of decorative symbols on the liquid crystal display 5 is being executed (step S116).

If the CPU 131 determines that the effect with the decorative symbol variation display is not being executed (step S116: NO), whether or not the variation start command for instructing the start of the decorative symbol variation display is received from the game control unit 100. Is determined (step S117). When the CPU 131 functioning as a determination unit and an effect control unit determines that the variation start command has been received (step S117: YES), the information included in the variation start command or the first corresponding to the variation start command is displayed. 1 production information storage part 1331 or 2nd production information storage part 1332
It is determined whether or not the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a probability variation gaming state or a time-saving gaming state based on the prior judgment information. Here, the CPU 1 is in the probability variation gaming state or the short-time gaming state.
If determined by 31 (step S118: YES), step S120 to be described later
The process proceeds.

When the CPU 131 determines that it is not in the probability variation gaming state or the time-saving gaming state (step S
118: NO), that is, in the case of the normal game state or the latent game state, the received change start command instructs the digestion of the reserved ball won in the second start port 22 while the second start port 22 is long open. It is determined whether or not there is (step S119). The determination process in step S119 includes, for example, determining whether or not the long release flag is set to “ON” and whether or not the change start command is related to a game ball won in the second start port 22. Is possible.

When the CPU 131 determines that the change start command does not instruct the digestion of the reserved ball won in the second start port 22 while the second start port 22 is long open (step S119: NO).
That is, the first special symbol lottery corresponding to the reserved ball that won the first starting port 21, or the second special symbol corresponding to the reserved ball that won the second starting port 22 during the short opening of the second starting port 22. When instructing the digestion of the lottery, the normal effects are set by performing the processes in steps S120 to S122 described below.

That is, if CPU 131 determines “NO” in step S119 or determines “YES” in step S118, it selects the normal performance table (step S12).
0). Specifically, the first effect information storage unit 1331 or the second corresponding to the reserved ball to be digested this time
The pre-determined information in the effect information storage unit 1332 includes information indicating the result of the special symbol lottery (information indicating one of the big hits, the small hits, or the loss), and information indicating the type of the big win if the big wins, Information indicating the type of small hit when winning, information indicating whether to perform with or without reach in the case of loss, information indicating the variation pattern (variation time) of the special symbol The CPU 131 selects one normal effect table from a plurality of normal effect tables (not shown) stored in the ROM 132 based on the prior determination information corresponding to the reserved ball to be digested this time. select.

The ROM 132 of the effect control unit 130 stores a long hit normal effect table, a short hit and small hit normal effect table, a normal effect table with losing reach, and a normal effect table without losing reach. Each of these tables is provided with a plurality of tables corresponding to variation times determined by the game control unit 100. For example, tables for 4 seconds, 8 seconds, and 12 seconds are provided in the normal production table without losing reach, and tables for 1 minute, 1 minute 30 seconds, and 2 minutes are provided in the normal production table per long. Is provided. CPU131
Selects one table from the plurality of normal performance tables based on the information included in the prior determination information. For example, when the prior determination information includes information indicating “losing”, information indicating that “reaching-free production” is performed, and information indicating that “variation time” is 4 seconds, the loss for 4 seconds is included. Select the normal production table without reach.

Thereafter, the CPU 131 acquires a production random number and stores it in the RAM 133 (step S).
121). The effect random number is incremented by “1” every time a random number update process repeated at a predetermined cycle shorter than a cycle in which a series of effect control processes are performed. Acquired as a production random number.

Then, the CPU 131 determines the effect random number based on the selected normal effect table. In this normal effect table, effect random numbers and effect patterns are associated with each other. CPU131 reads the production | generation pattern corresponding to the production | presentation random number acquired by the process of step S121 from many production | generation patterns stored in the normal production | presentation table. As a result, the CPU 131 performs normal effects such as a decorative pattern variation pattern displayed on the liquid crystal display 5, an operation pattern of the movable accessory 7, a light emission pattern of the panel lamp 8 and the frame lamp 36, and a sound pattern output from the speaker 35. A pattern is determined (step S122). Then, by transmitting a command instructing execution of the effect of the determined effect pattern to the image sound control unit 140 and the lamp control unit 150, the effect is started (step S123).

On the other hand, the CPU 131 sets the second start port 2 while the change start command is long open of the second start port 22.
When it is determined that it is an instruction to digest the reserved ball that has won 2 (step S119: Y)
ES), one dedicated effect table is selected from a plurality of dedicated effect tables (not shown) stored in the ROM 132 based on the prior determination information corresponding to the reserved ball to be digested this time (step S124). In this special effect table, the effect pattern of the dedicated effect whose aspect is different from the effect pattern included in the normal effect table is the result of the special effect number, the total number of steps, and the second special symbol lottery. This is associated with information indicating the above.

The CPU 131 selects the effect pattern corresponding to the information stored in the first storage unit 1332A corresponding to the reserved ball to be digested this time from the dedicated effect table selected in the process of step S124. Is determined (step S125).

As described above, the CPU 131 detects the long release flag set based on the open command as the operation pattern information of the electric tulip 27, and detection result information indicating that the game ball has won the first start port 21 or the second start port 22. Based on prior determination information included in the prior determination command, the liquid crystal display 5 or the like is determined to execute the dedicated effect or the normal effect.

By performing the process of step S123 subsequent to the process of step S125, a dedicated effect different from the normal effect is performed by the liquid crystal display 5, the movable accessory 7, the panel lamp 8, the frame lamp 36, the speaker 35, and the like.

In this way, the CPU 131 executes the special symbol lottery and the special symbol display 41 (or 4).
As the special symbol is variably displayed in 2), the liquid crystal display 5 provides an effect corresponding to the lottery result.
Etc. to be executed by the production means. At that time, while the second operation of the electric tulip 27 is being performed (while the second starting port 22 is long open), the second special symbol is drawn according to the second special symbol lottery for the game ball that won the second starting port 22. As the symbol is variably displayed, a dedicated effect different from the effect performed when the first special symbol is variably displayed is executed.

When the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a probability variation gaming state or a short-time gaming state, a large number of gaming balls are placed in the second start port as in the case where the second operation of the electric tulip 27 is performed by the electric chew support function. Although it is possible to win a prize 22, if a dedicated effect is performed in such a situation, the dedicated effect may be performed more frequently than necessary, and the original effect of the dedicated effect may be impaired. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the dedicated effect is not performed when the game state is the probability variation game state or the short-time game state, and the dedicated effect is performed only when the game state is the normal game state or the latent game state.

FIG. 18 is a screen diagram illustrating a normal performance performed in the liquid crystal display 5. FIG. 19 and FIG. 20 are screen diagrams illustrating a dedicated effect performed in the liquid crystal display 5.

As illustrated in FIGS. 18A to 18C, regardless of the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1,
In the effect accompanying the change display of the first special symbol corresponding to the game ball won in the first start opening 21, a normal effect in which a battle between the main character of the game and the enemy character is developed is performed. As shown in FIG. 18 (D), such an effect is produced by the second special symbol corresponding to the game ball won in the second starting port 22 during the short opening of the second starting port 22 or during the electric chew support. It is performed in the same way in the production accompanying the variable display.

On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 16, the second start port 22 during the second operation of the electric tulip 27.
When three game balls win a prize and the results of the second special symbol lottery for each game ball are all out of place, as illustrated in FIGS. 19A to 19C, Along with the suspension of the second special symbol lottery accumulated during the two operations, a continuous production consisting of three dedicated productions representing a scene where a tennis rally is performed is performed. In the example shown in FIGS. 16 and 19, since the results of the three special symbol lotteries are “out of”, the player hits the ball back on the opponent player's court (see FIG. 19A), and the opponent player Shows that the player strikes back the ball (see FIG. 19B) and the player swings back in an attempt to strike back the ball from the opponent player (see FIG. 19C).

In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 17, the second start port 22 during the second operation of the electric tulip 27.
4 game balls won in the second, the result of the second special symbol lottery for the last game ball won is "
In the case of “big hit”, as illustrated in FIGS. 20A to 20D, the electric tulip 2
With the suspension of the second special symbol lottery accumulated during the second movement of No. 7, a continuous effect consisting of four dedicated effects representing the scene where the batter hits the ball thrown by the pitcher is performed.
Here, the reason why the continuous production different from the production illustrated in FIG. 19 is to be performed is that the lottery result is “big hit” in the second special symbol lottery to be digested. . In the example shown in FIGS. 17 and 20, the result of the fourth special symbol lottery is “big hit”, so the pitcher throws the ball (see FIG. 20A), and the batter fails to hit the ball. Swinging (see FIG. 20B), the pitcher throws the ball again (FIG. 20C
)), And the batter hits the ball and becomes a home run (see FIG. 20D).

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the second special symbol lottery held during the second operation of the electric tulip 27 is continuously digested, as the dedicated effect, the continuous effect in which the effect contents are mutually related is provided. To do.

[Operational effects of this embodiment]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the second special symbol lottery for a game ball won in the second starting port 22 while the second starting port 22 is opened long by the second operation of the electric tulip 27. When the second special lottery is performed, a special effect different from the effect performed with the change display of the first special symbol is displayed on the liquid crystal display as the second special symbol is changed and displayed according to the second special lottery. It is executed by production means such as the vessel 5. It is possible to make the player feel a good feeling that the game ball has won a prize in the second starting port 22 opened long by the operation of the electric tulip 27.

Moreover, in this embodiment, the operation pattern information of the electric tulip 27 and the first start port 2
Since it is determined whether or not to perform the dedicated effect based on the detection result information of the game ball won in the first or second starting port 22, it is possible to easily determine whether or not to perform the dedicated effect.

Moreover, in this embodiment, when the 2nd special symbol lottery with respect to several game balls which won the 2nd start opening 22 is digested continuously, while the 2nd start opening 22 is long open, a liquid crystal display Vessel 5
Since the continuous production is performed by the above, for example, the player can feel a sense of profit more sufficiently than when the dedicated production is performed only once.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the normal game state or the latent game state in which the electric chew support function does not work, the special effect is performed only when the second starting port 22 is opened long and a game ball wins the second starting port 22. For example, the second start port 22 opened by the electric Chu support function is used.
As for the effect accompanying the change display of the second special symbol for the game ball that won the prize, an effective effect can be performed as compared with the case where the exclusive effect is performed.

In addition, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case where a continuous effect is performed when the 2nd special symbol lottery suspended during the 2nd operation | movement of the electric tulip 27 is digested continuously, it is continuous 2
The two special effects may be effects that are not related to each other.

In the present embodiment, the effect pattern of each dedicated effect is determined in consideration of the number of game balls won in the second starting port 22 during the second operation of the electric tulip 27. For this reason, before the number of game balls is determined, “YE” is processed in step S403 in FIG. 8 so that a change start command for instructing the start of the dedicated effect is not transmitted from the game control unit 100.
When it is determined as “S”, the process from the jackpot determination process until the change start command is set is not performed. Instead, if it is determined “YES” in step S402 without performing step S403, step S404 is performed.
The processing may be advanced. In this case, since the first exclusive effect may be started before the number of game balls won in the second start port 22 during the second operation of the electric tulip 27 is determined, the first exclusive effect is fixed. A dedicated effect may be executed, and the dedicated effect following the dedicated effect may be appropriately changed according to the number of game balls.
