Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that executes a variable display game based on a winning of a game ball at a start opening, and shifts to a special game state advantageous to a player when the result of the variable display game is a special result.

Conventionally, in order to allow the player to continue the game for a long time while maintaining a high expectation until the next profit is obtained, even when a small hit without a transition to the probability change state occurs, A game that allows players to have an expectation of a promiscuous state even if a small win occurs by adopting the same open pattern as the open pattern of the big prize opening when a sudden big hit with a transition to a probable state occurs. A machine is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
In addition, after the jackpot is over, the gaming state is set to one of a probable change state and a time reduction state, and a notification is made that the player is in some advantageous state. This notification mode is the same in both the probability change state and the time reduction state, so that the player does not clearly know which is controlled, so that the situation is actually in the time reduction state. Even so, there is a gaming machine that can keep a high expectation at least during a short time state by having the player expect that it is in a probabilistic state (for example, patents) Reference 2).

Then, when the game ball that has been driven into the game area 1a passes through the normal diagram start gate 4, a normal variation display game is performed. In addition, the normal variation display game cannot be started, for example, the normal variation display game has already been played and the normal variation display game has not been completed, When 7 is converted to the open state and the game ball passes through the general figure start gate 4, if the number is less than the upper limit of the general figure start memory number, the normal figure start memory number is incremented by one and the normal figure start is started. One memory is stored. In addition, the start memory of the general map change display game is displayed on the general memory display 15 provided with LEDs. For example, as shown in FIG. When the number is “1”, the upper LED is lit, and when the starting memory number is “2”, the lower LED is also lit. When the starting memory number is “3”, the upper LED blinks, and when the starting memory number is “4”, the lower LED also blinks, so that the starting memory number can be determined. ing.

  The general-purpose (ordinary symbol) variation display game is executed by a general-purpose display 5 provided at the lower right front of the game board main body 1b and outside the guide rail 2. In addition, you may make it display a common figure change display game in a part of display area of the display apparatus 43. In this case, for example, a number, a symbol, a character design etc. are used as an identification symbol, and this is changed for a predetermined time. After being displayed, it is performed by stopping display. If the stop display of the usual figure change display game becomes a special result mode, the opening and closing members 7a and 7a of the normal change winning device 7 are opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds). The As a result, the game ball is awarded to the normal variation winning device 7 that is not usually won, and the second special figure variation display game can be started.

  The normal variation winning device 7 includes a pair of left and right opening / closing members 7a, 7a, and is disposed below the first start winning opening 13, and the opening / closing members 7a, 7a are normally spaced at an interval of about the diameter of a game ball. And the closed state (a disadvantageous state for the player) is held so that the game ball is not won, but when the result of the usual variable display game becomes a predetermined stop display mode, the driving device As shown in FIG. 3, the solenoid (open electric power SOL 7 b, shown in FIG. 3) opens in a reverse “C” shape so that the game ball can flow into the normal variation winning device 7 (a state advantageous to the player). It has become.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment can generate a short-time operation state (second open state) as a gaming state based on the result mode of the special figure variation display game. At this time, the short operation state (second open state) is a state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is more likely to be in the open state than in the normal operation state (first open state). At this time, in the short operation state, the execution time of the above-mentioned general-purpose variable display game is controlled to be shorter than the long execution time in the normal operation state (for example, 10 seconds is 1 second). Control is performed so that the number of times the normally variable winning device 7 is opened is substantially increased. Further, in the short-time operation state, when the normal variation winning game 7 is released as a result of winning the normal-variation display game, the release time is controlled to be longer than the short open time of the normal operation state. (For example, 0.3 seconds is 1.8 seconds). In the short-time operation state, the normal variation winning device 7 is opened a plurality of times (for example, two times) instead of once for the result of one hit of the normal variation display game. Further, in the short-time operation state, the probability that the hit result of the normal-variable display game is higher than that in the normal operation state is controlled. That is, the number of times of opening of the normal variation winning device 7 is increased as compared with the normal operation state, and it becomes easier for a game ball to win the normal variation winning device 7 and the start of the second special figure variable display game is facilitated.

  The first start winning opening 13 is provided with a first start opening SW13a (shown in FIG. 3). Based on the detection of the game ball by the first start opening SW13a, the first special figure variation as an auxiliary game is provided. A start right to start the display game is generated. Further, a second start opening SW7d (shown in FIG. 3) is provided inside the normal variation winning device 7, and a second special figure as an auxiliary game is based on detecting a game ball by the second start opening SW7d. The start right to start the variable display game is generated. The start right to start the first special figure variation display game is stored as a first start memory (a special figure 1 start memory, a first special figure start memory) within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). The first start memory is displayed on the first special figure memory display 18. The start right to start the second special figure variation display game is stored as a second start memory (special figure 2 start memory, second special figure start memory) within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). . The second start memory is displayed on the second special figure memory display 19. The start memory of the first special figure variation display game is displayed on the first special figure memory display 18 provided with LEDs. For example, as shown in FIG. Of these, when the starting memory number is “1”, the upper LED is lit, and when the starting memory number is “2”, the lower LED is also lit. When the starting memory number is “3”, the upper LED blinks, and when the starting memory number is “4”, the lower LED also blinks, so that the starting memory number can be determined. ing. Similarly, the start memory of the second special figure variation display game is displayed on the second special figure memory display 19 having an LED. For example, as shown in FIG. Of the two LEDs, the upper LED is lit when the starting memory number is “1”, and the lower LED is also lit when the starting memory number is “2”. When the starting memory number is “3”, the upper LED blinks, and when the starting memory number is “4”, the lower LED also blinks, so that the starting memory number can be determined. ing.

  Then, in a state where the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game can be started and the first start memory number and the second start memory number are 0, for example, the first start prize opening When the game ball wins in 13, the first start memory is stored with the generation of the start right, the first start memory number is incremented by 1, and the first special figure is immediately based on the first start memory. The variable display game is started, and at this time, the first start memory number is decremented by one. In the state where the first special figure variation display game or the second special figure variation display game can be started and the first start memory number and the second start memory number are 0, for example, the second prize winning portion is When a game ball wins the normal variation winning device 7 to be formed, the second start memory is stored with the generation of the start right, the second start memory number is incremented by 1, and immediately based on the second start memory. Then, the second special figure variation display game is started, and at this time, the second start memory number is decremented by one.

  On the other hand, a state in which the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game cannot be started immediately, for example, the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game has already been performed, and the special figure fluctuation display. If a game ball is won in the first start winning opening 13 when the game is not finished or in a special game state, if the first start memory number is less than the upper limit number (for example, less than four) The first start memory number is incremented by 1, and one first start memory is stored. Similarly, in this case, when a game ball wins the normal variation winning device 7, if the second start memory number is less than the upper limit number (for example, less than four), the second start memory number is incremented by 1 and the second start is started. One memory is stored.

  When the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is ready to start, the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display is based on the first start memory or the second start memory. The game starts. At this time, the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game are not executed simultaneously, and the second special figure fluctuation display game is executed with priority over the first special figure fluctuation display game. It is like that. That is, when there is a first start memory and a second start memory, and when the special figure fluctuation display game can be executed, the second special figure fluctuation display game is executed.

  The first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game as the auxiliary games are a first special figure display 8 provided on the outer right side of the guide rail 2 at the lower right of the front surface of the game board main body 1b. 2 is executed by the special-figure display 9, and after a plurality of pieces of identification information are variably displayed, a predetermined result mode is stopped and displayed. In addition, a decorative special figure fluctuation display game in which a plurality of types of identification information (for example, numbers, symbols, character designs, etc.) are variably displayed on the display device 43 corresponding to each special figure fluctuation display game is executed. ing. If the display form of the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 becomes a special result form (for example, “7”) as a result of the special figure variation display game, a big hit is obtained. Special gaming state (so-called big hit state). Correspondingly, the display mode of the display device 43 is also a special result mode (for example, any one of the numbers in the flat order such as “7, 7, 7”). The first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 may be separate displays or the same display, but a special figure change display game is displayed independently. In addition, the display device 43 may use different display devices and different display areas in the first special map fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game, or use the same display device and display area. However, the decoration special figure variation display game is displayed independently. In addition, the game machine may not be provided with the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9, and the special figure variation display game may be executed only by the display device 43.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment can generate a probable change state (second game state, high probability state) as a game state based on the result form of the special figure variation display game. This probability variation state (second game state) is a state in which the probability of a winning result in the special figure variation display game is higher than the normal probability state (first game state). It should be noted that the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation regardless of whether the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game results in the result mode of the special figure fluctuation display game. Both display games are in a probable state. In addition, the probability variation state and the short-time operation state can be generated independently, and both can be generated at the same time, or only one can be generated.

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 one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 extracts the random number value for hit determination of the usual figure based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the gate SW4a provided in the usual figure start gate 4, and stores it in the ROM 31b. Compared with the stored determination value, a process of determining whether or not the normal-game fluctuation display game is missed is performed. Then, after the identification symbol is variably displayed for a predetermined time on the general symbol display 5, a process for displaying a general symbol variation display game to be stopped is performed. If the result of this normal map change display game is a win, a special result mode is displayed on the general map display 5 and the general electric power SOL 7b is operated to open and close the opening / closing members 7a, 7a of the normal variable winning device 7 for a predetermined time. The opening control is performed as described above (for example, for 0.5 seconds). In addition, when the result of the normal map change display game is out of order, control is performed to display the result form of the shift on the general map display 5.

  Further, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the first start opening SW13a provided in the first start winning opening 13, a random number value for hit determination (count value for hit determination) of the first special figure variable display game is obtained. A process of extracting and storing the first start-up memory in the RAM 31c is performed. That is, the first hold on which the game control device 30 can specify the number of game balls won at the first start winning opening 13 where the first start condition up to the predetermined upper limit is not satisfied and the lottery result corresponding to the win First holding means (holding means) for storing stored data is provided. Similarly, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the second start port SW7d provided in the normal variation winning device 7, a random number value for hit determination (counter value for hit determination) of the second special figure variable display game is obtained. A process of extracting and storing in the RAM 31c as the second start memory is performed. That is, the second on-hold storage that allows the game control device 30 to specify the number of game balls won to the normal variation winning device 7 for which the second start condition up to a predetermined upper limit value is not satisfied and the lottery result corresponding to the winning is specified. It constitutes a second holding means (holding means) for storing data.

  In addition, when the game ball is won at the first start winning opening 13 (first start opening), a random number value for hit determination (count value for hit determination) stored in the first start memory is stored in the ROM 31b. Compared with the judgment value (specific value) for the first special figure fluctuation display game, the hit of the first special figure fluctuation display game (probability big hit, normal big hit, sudden hit big hit, sudden hit big hit, sudden hit big hit, small hit) ・A process for determining the deviation is performed. Similarly, at the time of winning a game ball to the normal variation winning device 7 (second starting port), a random number value for winning determination (counter value for winning determination) stored in the second starting memory is stored in the ROM 31b. Compared with the judgment value (specific value) for the second special figure fluctuation display game, the hit of the second special figure fluctuation display game (probability big hit, normal big hit, sudden hit big hit, sudden hit big hit, sudden hit big hit, small hit) ・A process for determining the deviation is performed.

  In the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game, a predetermined number of first determination values are set as specific values in the normal probability state, and this specific value (first determination value) and the hit determination are used. When a random number value is compared, and it matches, it is judged as big hit (probable big hit, normal big hit, sudden hit big hit, sudden hit big hit, sudden hit big hit), and at this time, the condition device is activated. ing. Further, in this normal probability state, a small hit value is further set, and the small hit value is compared with a random number value for hit determination, and if they match, a small hit value is determined. The device is disabled. In the high probability state, a predetermined number of second determination values different from the first determination value and the first determination value are set as specific values, and the specific value (first determination value, second determination value) and a hit determination Random numbers are compared, and if they match, it is judged as big hit (probable big hit, normal big hit, sudden hit big hit, sudden hit big hit, sudden hit big hit). It has become. Further, even in this high probability state, a small hit value is further set, and the small hit value is compared with a random number value for hit determination, and if they match, the hit value is determined. The condition device is disabled. In the high probability state, only a predetermined number of second determination values different from the first determination value may be used as the specific value. However, the number of second determination values is made larger than the first determination value so that the probability of winning a big hit is higher than in the normal probability state.

  Further, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, based on the start-up memory, the identification symbols are displayed on the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 in a varying manner and then stopped. Processing to display a special figure variation display game is performed. That is, the game control device 30 functions as an execution instructing unit for sequentially instructing execution of the effect display with the variation pattern based on the determination result held by the holding unit (game control device 30).

  In addition, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of 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 executed. It is to be executed with priority over the execution control. That is, the game control apparatus 30 derives and displays the display result on the first variable display unit (first special figure display 8) or displays the display result on the second variable display unit (second special figure display 9). When the first hold means (game control device 30) stores the first hold storage data and the second hold means (game control device 30) stores the second hold storage data when the derived display is performed. Assuming that the second start condition based on winning in the second winning portion (ordinary variable winning device 7) is satisfied, the variable display game based on winning in the second winning portion (ordinary varying winning device 7) is selected as the first winning prize. It functions as a priority execution means that executes in preference to the variable display game based on winning in the section (first start winning opening 13).

  The game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 displays a special result mode (special result) on the special figure display when the result of the special figure fluctuation display game is around 15R (probable big hit / normal big hit). In addition, a process for generating the first special gaming state is performed. In the process of generating the first special gaming state, for example, the opening / closing door 10a of the special variable winning device 10 is opened by the special winning opening SOL10b, and control is performed to allow the game ball to flow into the special winning opening. Then, until the condition that either a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins in the big winning opening or a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds) elapses after the opening of the big winning opening is achieved. Opening the mouth is defined as one round, and control (cycle game) is performed in which this is repeated (repeated) a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 times). When the result of the special figure change display game is 2R (surprise big hit, sudden big hit, sudden big hit) or small hit, a special result form (special result) is displayed on the special figure display, and the second A process for generating a special game state is performed. In the process of generating the second special game state, for example, the opening / closing door 10a of the special variable winning device 10 is opened by the special winning opening SOL10b, and control for allowing the game ball to flow into the special winning opening is performed. Then, the opening of the grand prize opening is defined as one round until a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds) has passed since the opening of the big prize opening, and this is repeated (repeated) for a predetermined number of rounds (for example, twice) ( Cycle game). If the result of the special figure fluctuation display game is 2R (surprise big hit, sudden big hit, sudden big hit), and small hit, the time that 10 game balls can win the big winning opening (for example, about 60 seconds) If 100 game balls can be fired, it may be released for 6 seconds). After that, in the case of a big hit, it shifts to a probability change state, and in the case of a big hit, it shifts to a time reduction state. Further, in the case of a rush big hit or a small hit, the game does not shift to the probability change state or the time reduction state, but shifts to the normal game state. Thereby, the pachinko gaming machine 100 functions as a special game state lottery unit that can set a special game state advantageous to the player in a plurality of stages based on the determination result by the determination unit (game control device 30). In addition, when the first hit (per 15R) out of the hits associated with the operation of the condition device is won, the game balls of the variable winning device (special variable winning device 10) by the operation of the movable member (opening / closing door 10a) are played. When the first profit granting means that gives the player the first profit that provides an opportunity to obtain a prize ball by enabling the winning of a prize, the second hit (surprising big hit) of the hits that accompany the operation of the condition device is won The winning probability changing means (game control device 30) is changed to the second gaming state and the movable member of the variable winning device is operated, but the movable member is operated for a shorter time than the case of the first profit granting means. The second profit giving means for giving the player a second profit having a lower value than the first profit by providing the opportunity to obtain a prize ball; Winning) is won A game state is not changed by the rate changing means, and is different from the second profit providing the opportunity to obtain a prize ball by operating the movable member for a time that is the same as or similar to the second profit providing means. The third profit granting means for granting the player's profit to the player, and when the fourth hit (surprise big hit) of the hits accompanied by the operation of the condition device is won, the game state is changed by the winning probability changing means 4th profit of lower value than the 1st profit different from the 2nd profit which provides the opportunity which operates the movable member which is the same as the 2nd profit granting means or approximate time, and obtains a prize ball Functions as a fourth profit granting means for granting to the player. 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.

  It should be noted that the value of the second special figure variation display game is given to the player in the special game state or after the special game state ends, rather than the first special figure variation display game. The high value given to the player means, for example, that the distribution ratio of the number of rounds in the special gaming state is advantageous for the player (see FIGS. 6 (2) and (3)). In addition to the fact that the number of rounds in the special gaming state is large (the number of prize balls that can be obtained by the player is large), the second special figure variation display game is more The probability of becoming higher may be increased. Further, the value in production may include a tendency to reach a reach state, a reach production that does not usually appear easily (a so-called super reach or a premier reach), and the like.

  Further, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, when the first start memory or the second start memory is generated, the winning determination random value (in the first start memory or the second start memory ( The counter value for hit determination) is compared with the determination value (specific value) for the first special figure fluctuation display game or the determination value (specific value) for the second special figure fluctuation display game stored in the ROM 31b, and the fluctuation display Judgment / out of game is judged.

  At this time, if the winning determination random number value matches the determination value, the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 extracts the continuous variation pattern setting determination random value for the big hit. The random value for determining the continuous fluctuation pattern at the time of big hit is compared with the determination value (specific value) for determining the continuous fluctuation pattern at the time of big hit stored in the ROM 31b. Is coincident with the judgment value (specific value) for determining the continuous fluctuation pattern setting at the big hit stored in the ROM 31b, the fluctuation patterns based on the start memory stored before the start memory based on this hit / miss judgment are mutually A process of setting a continuous variation pattern related to the is performed. The ratio at which the random value for determining the continuous variation pattern setting at the big hit matches the determination value (specific value) for the continuous fluctuation pattern setting determination at the big hit stored in the ROM 31b is set to 60%, for example. Yes.

  On the other hand, when the hit determination random number value does not coincide with the determination value, the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 extracts the random number value for continuous variation pattern setting determination at the time of loss. The random value for determining the continuous variation pattern setting at the time of detachment is compared with the determination value (specific value) for determining the continuous variation pattern setting at the time of detachment stored in the ROM 31b. Is coincident with the judgment value (specific value) for continuous fluctuation pattern setting judgment at the time of deviation stored in the ROM 31b, the fluctuation patterns based on the start memory stored before the start memory based on this hit / deviation judgment A process of setting a continuous variation pattern related to the is performed. Note that the ratio of the random value for determining the continuous variation pattern setting at the time of loss to the determination value (specific value) for determining the continuous variation pattern setting at the time of failure is set to 1%, for example. Yes.

  Further, in the gaming one-chip microcomputer 31, based on the detection signal of the game ball input from sensors (first start port SW13a, second start port SW7d, winning port SW12a, count SW10c) provided at various winning ports. The payout control device 125 is controlled so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out from the discharge device.

  In addition, the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 stores the hit determination random number value stored in the first start memory or the second start memory and the ROM 31b in addition to the start timing of the special figure display game. Whether or not a special result mode is derived in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory for the start memory for which the special figure fluctuation display game has not yet been executed. The process of determining whether or not

  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.

  In FIG. 4, the state transition diagram for demonstrating the gaming state in the pachinko game machine of this embodiment was shown. When there is no first start memory and second start memory, the normal state ST1 (normal state, waiting for customers) is entered, and the first start memory (Special Figure 1 start memory) and second start memory (Special Figure 2 start memory). It will be in the state which waits for generation | occurrence | production. In this normal state ST1, when there is a prize (first special figure start prize) in the first start winning opening 13, the process shifts to the first special figure fluctuation state (special figure 1 fluctuation state) ST2, and the first special figure fluctuation. A display game is executed. In addition, in the normal state ST1, when there is a prize (second special figure starting prize) in the normal variation prize winning device 7, the process shifts to the second special figure fluctuation state (special figure 2 fluctuation state) ST3 and the second special figure fluctuation. A display game is executed.

  The first special figure fluctuation state ST2 is a state in which the first special figure fluctuation display game is being executed, and when a special result mode is derived as a result of the first special figure fluctuation display game (when the big hit condition is satisfied) ) Shifts to a big hit state ST4 and enters a special game state. In addition, in the first special figure fluctuation state ST2, when the result of the first special figure fluctuation display game is a failure that does not satisfy the jackpot condition, and there is no first start memory and second start memory, The process shifts to the state ST1 and waits for generation of the first start memory and the second start memory. Further, in the first special figure fluctuation state ST2, when the result of the first special figure fluctuation display game is a failure that does not satisfy the jackpot condition, and there is no second start memory and there is a first start memory, The first special figure fluctuation display game is executed in the first special figure fluctuation state ST2. Further, when the result of the first special figure fluctuation display game is a failure that does not satisfy the big hit condition in the first special figure fluctuation state ST2, and there is a second start memory, the second special figure fluctuation state The process proceeds to ST3, and the second special figure variation display game is executed. Since the second start memory is preferentially digested over the first start memory, if there is a second start memory, the second special figure variation state ST3 even if the first start memory exists. Then, the second special figure fluctuation display game is executed.

  The second special figure fluctuation state ST3 is a state in which the second special figure fluctuation display game is being executed, and when a special result mode is derived as a result of the second special figure fluctuation display game (when the big hit condition is satisfied) ) Shifts to a big hit state ST4 and enters a special game state. Further, in the second special figure fluctuation state ST3, when the result of the second special figure fluctuation display game is a failure that does not satisfy the jackpot condition and there is no first start memory and second start memory, The process shifts to the state ST1 and waits for generation of the first start memory and the second start memory. Further, in the second special figure fluctuation state ST3, when the result of the second special figure fluctuation display game is a failure that does not satisfy the big hit condition, and there is no second start memory and there is a first start memory, The process shifts to the first special figure fluctuation state ST2, and the first special figure fluctuation display game is executed. Further, in the second special figure fluctuation state ST3, when the result of the second special figure fluctuation display game is a failure that does not satisfy the jackpot condition and there is a second start memory, the second special figure fluctuation state In ST3, the second special figure variation display game is executed. In the normal state ST1, when there is a prize (second special figure starting prize) in the normal variation winning device 7, the process shifts to the second special figure fluctuation state (special figure 2 fluctuation state) ST3, and the second special figure fluctuation. A display game is executed.

  The big hit state ST4 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 ends in the big hit state ST4 and there is no first start memory and second start memory, the state shifts to the normal state ST1 and waits for the occurrence of the first start memory and the second start memory. It becomes. Further, when the special game state is ended in the big hit state ST4 and there is no second start memory and there is a first start memory, the process proceeds to the first special figure fluctuation state ST2 and the first special figure fluctuation display game is executed. Further, when the special game state ends in the big hit state ST4 and there is a second start memory, the process shifts to the second special figure fluctuation state ST3 and executes the second special figure fluctuation display game. In the normal state ST1, when there is a prize (second special figure starting prize) in the normal variation winning device 7, the process shifts to the second special figure fluctuation state (special figure 2 fluctuation state) ST3, and the second special figure fluctuation. A display game is executed.

  5 and 6 are state transition diagrams for explaining the details of the big hit state in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment.

  For example, the normal state D is a state in which the player can recognize that it is a normal probability state based on the display mode on the display device 43, for example. In the normal state D, when the result of the special figure change display game is stopped in the small hit state, the state shifts to the small hit state A, and when the small hit state A ends, the normal state D is returned. At this time, when returning to the normal state D, the display mode on the display device 43 is a display indicating a latent state (for example, a display with a summer background). The probability that the small hit state A occurs in the normal state N is set to 1/220, for example.

  In the normal state D, if the result of the special figure variation display game is stopped in a 2R (round) manner, the state shifts to 2R per state B. Specifically, when stopping in a sudden and large hit mode per 2R, when the state B per 2R ends, the probability change state E without the electric accessory support (hereinafter referred to as electric support), the probability change with the electric support 100 times The state shifts to either state G or probability variation state H with electric support until the next big hit. At this time, when the state shifts to the probability change state E without electric support, the display mode on the display device 43 is a display indicating a latent state (for example, a display with a summer background). On the other hand, when transitioning to the probability variation state G with 100 electric supports, the display mode on the display device 43 is a display indicating the latent state with electric supports (for example, the background is autumn display). As shown in FIGS. 6 (1) and 6 (2), in the first special figure variation display game, after the end of the 2R hit state B, the 2R probability change hit (number 4) shifts to the probability change state E without electric support. The winning rate is 20%, after the end of state B per 2R, the winning rate per 2R probable change (number 5) that shifts to the probable state G with 100 electric support is 5%, and after the end of state B per 2R The winning rate of 2R probability variation (number 7) that shifts to probability variation state H with electric support until the next big hit is set to 5%. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 6 (1) and 6 (3), in the second special figure fluctuation display game, after the end of the 2R hit state B, the 2R probability change hit (number 4) shifts to the probability change state E without electric support. The winning rate is 2%, after the end of state B per 2R, the winning rate per 2R probable change (number 5) that shifts to the probable state G with 100 electric support is 5%, and after the end of state B per 2R The winning rate of 2R probability variation (number 7) that shifts to probability variation state H with electric support until the next big hit is set to 5%.

  In the probability variation state E without electric support, either the small hit state A, 2R per state B, or 15R per state C can occur. Further, in the probability variation state G with 100 electric supports, either the small hit state A, the 2R state B, or the 15R state C can be generated, and the 100-variation display game is completed by the electric support. After that, the state shifts to a probability change state E without electric support. Further, in the probability variation state H with electric support until the next big hit, any one of the small hit state A, the 2R hit state B, or the 15R hit state C can occur.

  Further, in the state B per 2R, when stopping in a sudden big hit mode out of 2R, when the state B per 2R ends, the state shifts to the short time state F with 100 electric supports. At this time, when the state shifts to the time saving state F with 100 electric supports, the display mode on the display device 43 is a display indicating the latent state with electric supports (for example, the background is autumn display). And after 100 fluctuation display games are complete | finished by electric support, it transfers to the normal state D. As shown in FIGS. 6 (1) and 6 (2), in the first special figure variation display game, after the end of the 2R per state B, the 2R normal per (number) that shifts to the short time state F with 100 electric supports. The winning rate of 2) is set to 5%. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 6 (1) and 6 (3), in the second special figure variation display game, after the end of the 2R hit state B, the 2R normal hit (number) The winning rate of 2) is set to 5%.

  In addition, in the state B per 2R, when stopping in the sudden big hit mode out of per 2R, when the state B per 2R ends, the state shifts to the normal state D. At this time, when returning to the normal state D, the display mode on the display device 43 is a display indicating a latent state (for example, a display with a summer background). As shown in FIGS. 6 (1) and 6 (2), in the first special figure variation display game, the winning rate per 2R normal (number 1) that shifts to the normal state D after the end of the state B per 2R is It is set to 5%. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 6 (1) and 6 (3), in the second special figure variation display game, the winning rate per 2R normal (number 1) that shifts to the normal state D after the end of the state B per 2R is It is set to 5%.

  In the normal state D, when the result of the special figure variation display game is stopped in a mode of 15R (round), the state shifts to the state C per 15R. Specifically, when stopping in the probability variation big hit mode out of 15R, when the state C per 15R ends, the probability variation state G with electric support 100 times or the probability variation state H with electric support until the next big hit Migrate to Crab. As shown in FIGS. 6 (1) and 6 (2), in the first special figure fluctuation display game, after the end of the state C per 15R, the 15R probability variation per unit (number) shifts to the probability variation state G with 100 electric supports. The winning rate of 6) is 10%, and the winning rate of 15R probability change (number 8) that shifts to the probability variation state H with electric support until the next big hit after the end of state C per 15R is set to 25%. . On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 6 (1) and 6 (3), in the second special figure fluctuation display game, after the end of the state C per 15R, the 15R probability variation (number) that shifts to the probability variation state G with 100 electric supports. The winning rate of 6) is 10%, and after the completion of the state C per 15R, the winning rate for 15R probability variation (number 8) that shifts to the probability variation state H with electric support until the next big hit is set to 43%. .

  In addition, in the state C per 15R, when stopping in the normal big hit mode out of 15R, when the state C per 2R is finished, the state shifts to the short time state F with 100 electric support. As shown in FIGS. 6 (1) and 6 (2), in the first special figure variation display game, after the end of the state C per 15R, per 15R normal (number) The winning rate of 3) is set to 25%. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 6 (1) and 6 (3), in the second special figure fluctuation display game, after the end of the state C per 15R, per 15R normal (number) The winning rate of 3) is set to 25%.

  Next, game control in the game control device 30 will be described. The game control mainly includes a main process and a timer interrupt process performed every predetermined time (for example, every 2 msec).

[Main processing]
In the main process, the entire program is controlled. As shown in FIG. 7, 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 (step S5) is performed to update the initial value of a random number such as a big hit determination random number and break the temporal regularity of the random number. Then, a process of permitting interruption (step S6) is performed.

  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), processing when a power failure occurs 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 this process when a power failure occurs, first, a process for prohibiting interruption is performed. And the process which turns off all the output ports is performed, and the process which clears a power failure inspection area | region 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.

[Timer interrupt processing]
Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. As shown in FIG. 8, in this timer interrupt process, first, a process of saving the register data (step a) 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.) Based on input processing and output data set in various processing, input / output processing (step b) for performing output processing for controlling driving of actuators such as solenoids (large winning opening SOL10b, general electric power SOL7b), etc. Do.

  Next, a command transmission process (step c) is performed for outputting the command set in the transmission buffer in various processes to the effect control device 40 and the like. And a jackpot determination random number for determining the hit-off of the special figure variable display game, a jackpot symbol random number for determining the big hit symbol of the special figure variable-display game, Random number update processing 1 (step d) for updating the winning random number is performed. Next, the initial value random number update process (step e) is performed to update the initial value of the random number and break the temporal regularity of the random number.

  Next, random number update processing 2 (step f) is performed for updating random numbers for determining a variation pattern in the decoration special diagram variation display game related to the special diagram variation display game.

On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the process number is 8 (step S57), if the process number is not 8 (step S57; No), the special figure game branching process is terminated.

Next, a display example of a dedicated continuous notice per 2R (low value continuous notice) in the variable display game executed by the above process will be described.
FIG. 15 shows that in the state where there are three start memories in the first start memory, a first start memory having a fourth digestion order is newly generated, and the result of the variable display game based on this first start memory is 2R ( For example, it is assumed that there is a sudden big hit) and a dedicated continuous notice per 2R is set (step S26). At this time, the fluctuation pattern based on the first to third start memories in the digestion sequence is set to the 2R dedicated continuous notice change pattern that is correlated with the newly generated first start memory. In the example of FIG. 15, a variation pattern in which lightning is displayed in the background of the display device 43 as a dedicated continuous notice variation pattern per 2R that is mutually related.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 15 (1), when the variation display game based on the first start memory having the first digestion sequence is started, one lightning bolt is displayed in the background during the variation display of the identification information. It is displayed. At this time, one start-up memory is consumed and the remaining first start-up memories become three. Next, as shown in FIG. 15 (2), when the variation display game based on the first start memory whose digestion order is second is started, two lightning bolts are displayed in the background during the variation display of the identification information. It has become. At this time, one start-up memory is consumed, and the remaining first start-up memories become two. Next, as shown in FIG. 15 (3), when the variation display game based on the first start memory whose digestion order is the third is started, three lightning bolts are displayed in the background during the variation display of the identification information. It has become. At this time, one start-up memory is consumed and the remaining first start-up memory becomes one. Next, as shown in FIG. 15 (4), after the variation display game based on the first start memory whose digestion order is the fourth is started, as shown in FIG. 15 (5), the left symbol and the right symbol are “ 7 "and the middle symbol is displayed as" Thundercloud mode ", and 2R hits (for example, sudden hits) occur. At this time, one start-up memory is consumed and the remaining first start-up memory becomes zero.

Further, another display example of the dedicated continuous notice per 2R in the variable display game executed by the above process will be described.
FIG. 16 shows that in a state where there are three start memories in the first start memory, a first start memory having a fourth digestion order is newly generated, and the result of the variable display game based on this first start memory is 2R ( For example, it is assumed that there is a sudden big hit) and a dedicated continuous notice per 2R is set (step S26). At this time, the fluctuation pattern based on the first to third start memories in the digestion sequence is set to the 2R dedicated continuous notice change pattern that is correlated with the newly generated first start memory. In the example of FIG. 16, a variation pattern in which the character fishes in the background of the display device 43 is displayed as a dedicated continuous notice variation pattern per 2R that is mutually related.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 16 (1), when the variation display game based on the first start memory having the first digestion order is started, the character is caught in the background during the variation display of the identification information. The display which started is made. At this time, one start-up memory is consumed and the remaining first start-up memories become three. Next, as shown in FIG. 16 (2), when the variable display game based on the first start memory whose digestion order is the second is started, while the identification information is being displayed in a variable manner, the background comes to the character's trap. Display is made. At this time, one start-up memory is consumed, and the remaining first start-up memories become two. Next, as shown in FIG. 16 (3), when the variable display game based on the first start memory whose digestion order is the third is started, during the variable display of the identification information, there is a display that the character draws a habit on the background. It has been made. At this time, one start-up memory is consumed and the remaining first start-up memory becomes one. Next, as shown in FIG. 16 (4), when the variation display game based on the first start memory whose digestion order is the fourth is started, the state where the fish is caught is displayed in the background during the variation display of the identification information. As shown in FIG. 16 (5), the left symbol and the right symbol are stopped at "7", and the middle symbol is displayed as "Eating mode", and 2R (for example, a big hit during a collision) is displayed. Occur. At this time, one start-up memory is consumed and the remaining first start-up memory becomes zero.

  Further, in the background during the dedicated continuous notice per 2R as shown in FIG. 15 or FIG. 16, the “spring mode” as shown in FIG. 17 (1), the “summer mode” as shown in FIG. “Autumn mode” as shown in FIG. 17 (3) and “winter mode” as shown in FIG. 17 (4) can also be displayed. Can be displayed in a predetermined order (for example, “Spring” → “Summer” → “Autumn” → “Winter”). In addition, “Spring Mode” is a content that suggests that the gaming state according to the result of the variable display game for which 2R dedicated continuous notice has been made becomes a probabilistic state. Similarly, “Summer Mode” “Autumn mode” is a latent state, and “Winter mode” is a normal state. More specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 17, when “Spring mode”, “Summer mode”, “Autumn mode” and “Winter mode” are displayed during the dedicated continuous notice per 2R, This suggests that there is a possibility that the gaming state associated with the result of the variable display game for which the exclusive continuous notice has been made will be any of the probability variation state, the short time state, the latent state, or the normal state.

  Thereby, the low value continuous notice display control means (game control device 30) performs the display related to the first game state and the second game state in a predetermined order in the low value continuous notice change pattern.

  From the above, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to this embodiment has a predetermined symbol based on the winning of a game ball at the starting port (the first starting winning port 13, the normal variable winning device 7) provided in the gaming area 1a. A symbol variation display device (display device 43) for effect display with a variation pattern, and a game ball wins at the start opening, acquires a counter value for hit determination at the timing of winning, and determines the acquired counter value for hit determination Determination means (game control device 30) for determining and comparing with a value, variation pattern setting means (game control device 30) for setting a variation pattern to be displayed on the symbol variation display device based on the determination result of the determination means, A holding means (game control device 30) for holding a determination result based on winning of a game ball to a new start opening obtained during the effect display of the fluctuation pattern as a start memory up to a predetermined upper limit number, The execution instruction means (game control device 30) for sequentially instructing the execution of the effect display with the variation pattern based on the determination result held by the stop means, and the variation pattern based on the determination result when the determination result of the determination means is correct Continuous variation pattern setting means (game control device 30) for setting a variation pattern based on the determination result held before the suspension of the game to a mutually related variation pattern, and when the determination result of the determination device is correct, a variable winning A gaming machine that converts a game ball into a winning-winning state by operating a movable member of the device (special variable prize-winning device 10), and the judging means has a plurality of special gaming states advantageous to the player based on the judgment result. Special game state lottery means (game control device 30) that can be set in stages are provided, and the lottery result by the special game state lottery means is associated with the operation of the condition device and the operation of the condition device. The first gaming state in which the winning probability with the operation of the condition device is set to be relatively low, and the condition more than the first gaming state is included in the lottery by the special gaming state lottery means. A winning probability changing means (game control device 30) that can change the second gaming state in which the winning probability associated with the operation of the device is set to be high on condition that the winning device is associated with the operation of the condition device; In the lottery result by the special gaming state lottery means, when the first winning combination with the operation of the condition device is won, the winning ball can be won by the variable winning device by the operation of the movable member. The lottery result by the first profit granting means (game control device 30) for providing the player with the first profit providing the opportunity to obtain the special game state lottery means 2nd win If it is, the winning probability changing means changes to the second gaming state and the movable member of the variable winning device is operated, but the movable member is operated for a shorter time than the case of the first profit granting means, and the prize is awarded. By providing an opportunity to obtain a ball, the lottery result by the second profit granting means (game control device) that gives the player a second profit that is lower in value than the first profit, and the special gaming state lottery means When the third win without the operation of the condition device is won, the game state is not changed by the winning probability changing means, and the movable member that is the same as or approximate to the second profit providing means is operated. And a third profit granting means (game control device 30) for giving the player a third profit different from the second profit that provides an opportunity to obtain a prize ball, and the continuous variation pattern setting means comprises: Based on lottery results When profit is given by the second profit granting means or the third profit granting means, the starting memory fluctuation pattern held before the lottery result is held is set to a mutually related low-value continuous notice fluctuation pattern. The value continuous notice display control means (game control device 30) is provided.

Therefore, with this low-value continuous notice, the variable winning device can be opened and closed before the occurrence of the second hit (a sudden big hit) with the transition to the probability variation state or the third hit (the small hit) without the transition to the probability variation state. The player can have a sense of expectation not only for the variable display game in which the second hit or the third hit occurs, but also for opening / closing the variable winning device before the number of the variable display game changes. .
In addition, this low value continuous notice makes it possible to know that the probability state may change after a few fluctuations, so that the player has a sense of expectation and has a shorter time than in the case of the first hit. Since you can prepare in advance to provide an opportunity to get a prize ball by operating the movable member, you can launch the game ball in time for the opening timing of this variable prize winning device, It becomes easy to get a prize ball based. In addition, the player can stop playing the game ball until the opening timing of the variable winning device, and can save the game ball.
In addition, it is possible to know that there is a possibility that the variable winning device will be in a probabilistic state when opening and closing is started in a shorter time than in the case of the first winning, so expect until the next winning is obtained A feeling and a willingness to play can be maintained high.
Furthermore, since the probability of occurrence of small hits can be set independently from the probability of occurrence of big hits, the same low value continuous notice is given for the second profit and the third profit. The occurrence rate of the fluctuation pattern can be set higher than the occurrence rate of jackpot.

  Further, in the lottery result by the special gaming state lottery means, when the fourth win out of the hits accompanied by the operation of the condition device is won, the game state is not changed by the winning probability changing means, and the second profit is obtained. Giving the player a fourth profit that is lower in value than the first profit, which is different from the second profit that provides an opportunity to obtain a prize ball by operating the movable member for the same or approximate time as the giving means. 4th profit granting means (game control device 30) is provided, and the low value continuous notice display control means holds before holding the lottery result even when the profit is given by the fourth profit granting means based on the lottery result. The variation pattern based on the lottery result is set to a low-value continuous notice variation pattern that is mutually related.

Therefore, by this low value continuous notice, the second hit (progressive big hit) with the transition to the probability variation state, the third hit (small hit) without the transition to the probability variation state, and further, the transition to the probability variation state is not involved. Since it is understood that there is a possibility that the variable winning device may open and close before the occurrence of the fourth hit (the big hit), the player can only play the variable display game in which the second win, the third win, or the fourth win occurs. In addition, it is possible to have a sense of expectation for opening and closing of the variable winning device before the number of the variable display games is changed.
In addition, this low value continuous notice makes it possible to know that the probability state may change after a few fluctuations, so that the player has a sense of expectation and has a shorter time than in the case of the first hit. Since you can prepare in advance to provide an opportunity to get a prize ball by operating the movable member, you can launch the game ball in time for the opening timing of this variable prize winning device, It becomes easy to get a prize ball based. In addition, the player can stop playing the game ball until the opening timing of the variable winning device, and can save the game ball.
In addition, when the variable winning device starts opening and closing in a shorter time compared to the case of the first winning, it can be known that there is a possibility that it is in a probable variation state, so expect until the next winning is obtained A feeling and a willingness to play can be maintained high.

  Further, the low value continuous notice display control means can set the low value continuous notice change pattern only when the winning probability changing means is in the first gaming state.

  Therefore, when it is in the second gaming state by the winning probability changing means, it is possible to reduce the burden on the control of the effect control device 40.

  Further, since the low value continuous notice display control means can perform the display related to the first game state and the second game state in a predetermined order with the low value continuous notice variation pattern, The game state after the occurrence of 3 hits or 4 hits can be suggested, and the player can be prepared.

  In addition, the continuous variation pattern setting means, when profit is given by the first profit granting means based on the lottery result, the fluctuation pattern based on the lottery result held before the lottery result is held is correlated with a high value High-value continuous notice display control means (game control device 30) for setting a continuous notice variation pattern is provided, and the starting opening is a first winning portion (first starting winning opening 13), and a state where a game ball is easy to win and a game And a second winning portion (ordinary variable winning device 7) that can be changed to a state where the ball is difficult to win or not win, and the first start condition is based on the fact that the game ball has won the first winning portion. When established, a variable display game for variably displaying identification information is started, and a game ball wins a first variable display section (first special figure display 8) for deriving and displaying a display result and a second winning section. Based on that A symbol variable display device comprising: a second variable display unit (second special symbol display 9) for starting a variable display game for variably displaying identification information when a start condition is satisfied, and deriving and displaying a display result; The (display device 43) starts the production operation substantially in synchronization with the start of the variable display operation of either the first variable display unit or the second variable display unit, and the game ball is placed in the first winning unit or the second winning unit. The rendering operation is substantially synchronized with the end of the variable display operation of either the first variable display portion or the second variable display portion after the rendering time determined in relation to the result of the winning / failing lottery generated based on winning. And the holding means (game control device 30) specifies the number of game balls won in the first winning portion where the first start condition up to the predetermined upper limit is not satisfied and the lottery result corresponding to the winning First hold means for storing possible first hold memory data (game Control device 30) and second hold storage data that can specify the number of winning game balls to the second winning portion where the second start condition up to a predetermined upper limit value is not established and the lottery result corresponding to the winning A second holding means (game control device 30) for storing, the variable display game is executed on the first variable display section on the condition that the variable display game is not executed on the second variable display section, Variable display execution means (game control device 30) for executing the variable display game on the second variable display unit on condition that the variable display game is not executed on the variable display unit, and a variable winning device (special variable winning device 10) ) Is a winning facilitating means (game control) that operates the movable member when the specific display result is derived and displayed on either the first variable display section or the second variable display section and facilitates the reception of the game ball. Device 30), and the variable display executing means is When the display result is derived and displayed on the first variable display unit, or when the display result is derived and displayed on the second variable display unit, the first hold unit stores the first hold stored data and the second hold If the means stores the second reserved storage data, the variable display game based on winning in the second winning portion is displayed as the first winning portion, assuming that the second start condition based on winning in the second winning portion is satisfied. Preferential execution means (game control device 30) that executes in preference to the variable display game based on winning a prize, and the low value continuous notice display control means (game control device 30) based on winning in the first winning portion. While a low-value continuous notice variation pattern is being executed, when a game ball wins the second winning part and the lottery result based on the prize is the first, even if the low-value continuous notice change pattern is being executed, Low value continuous forecast from the time of the prize And thus to change the fluctuation pattern of high-value continuous announcement variation pattern.

  Therefore, while the low-value continuous notice fluctuation pattern is being executed, the low-value continuous notice fluctuation pattern is continued even though the lottery result that gives the first profit is obtained based on the winning of the game ball to the second winning portion. An entertaining game can be executed without causing the problem of executing the game.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment of the gaming machine described above will be described with reference to FIGS. Basically, it has the same configuration as the pachinko gaming machine of the above-described embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to the portions having the same configuration, the description is omitted, and the mainly different portions Will be described.

[2R exclusive notice start processing]
This 2R dedicated continuous advance notice process is also performed in the special figure 1 change start process (step S46), in which the change pattern based on the newly stored start memory at this time is changed to the dedicated continuous notice change pattern per 2R. It is. As shown in FIG. 18, in this 2R dedicated continuous notice process, first, the result of the variable display game in the first start memory that triggered the setting of the dedicated continuous notice change pattern per 2R in step S25 or step S26 is lost. Is determined (step S201).

  In the determination of whether or not this determination result is out of step (step S201), if the determination result is out of step (step S201; Yes), the fluctuation pattern of the start memory stored at a predetermined rate is related to each other. A process of changing the change pattern (step S204) for exclusive use of the 2R dedicated continuous notice (low value continuous notice). On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the determination result is out of step (step S201), if the determination result is a win (step S201; No), it is determined whether or not the hit is a small hit (step S202). I do.

  In the determination of whether or not this hit is a small hit (step S202), if the hit is a small hit (step S202; Yes), the fluctuation patterns of the start memory stored at a predetermined rate are mutually compared. A process of changing to a related 2R dedicated continuous notice (low value continuous notice) variation pattern is performed (step S205). On the other hand, when the hit is not a small hit (step S202; No) in the determination of whether or not the hit is a small hit (step S202; No), the hit is per 2R (a sudden hit, a hit big hit, a sudden hit big) ) Is determined (step S203).

  If it is determined whether or not the hit is per 2R (probable big hit, sudden hit big hit, sudden hit big hit) (step S203), if the hit is around 2R (step S203; Yes), the process proceeds to step S205. On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not the hit is per 2R (probability big hit, sudden hit big hit, sudden hit big hit) (step S203), if the hit is not per 2R (step S203; No), this processing is terminated.

  Therefore, the low value continuous notice display control means (game control device 30) gives a profit to the second profit granting means (game control device 30) or the third profit granting means (game control device 30) based on the lottery result. If the fluctuation pattern based on the lottery result held before the lottery result is held is set to a mutually related low-value continuous notice fluctuation pattern, the fluctuation pattern based on the lottery result is held at the start of fluctuation. Will be set to the low-value continuous notice fluctuation pattern that is related to each other.

Next, an example of the dedicated continuous notice start process per 2R in the variable display game executed by the process as described above will be described using a timing chart.
FIG. 19 shows the timing until the effect display in the dedicated continuous variation pattern per 2R is started after the variation patterns P1, P2, P3, and P4 are set as the dedicated continuous variation pattern per 2R. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a state where a game ball has been won at the first start winning opening 13 and a first start memory is newly generated. Further, the game result of the first special figure variation display game due to winning at the winning timing T1 is out of the game result of the first special figure variation display game due to winning at the winning timing T2, and the game result of the first special figure variation display game is out of 2R or small hit. It is assumed that the game result of the first special figure variation display game due to winning at the winning timing T3 is out of place.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the result of the variable display game in the first start memory at the winning timing T1 that triggered the setting of the dedicated continuous notice fluctuation pattern per 2R is 2R or small hit (step S202; Yes, In step S203; Yes), the fluctuation patterns P5 and P6 based on the start memory by winning at the winning timings T2 and T3 that are currently stored as corresponding to the predetermined ratio at this time are changed to dedicated continuous fluctuation patterns per 2R. Processing (step S205) to be performed is performed. Also, at timing t1 and t2, the result of the variable display game in the first start memory at the winning timing T1 is per 2R or small hit, so at timing t1 and t2, the special winning prize opening of the special variable winning device 10 is released. I do.

  From the above, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the second embodiment is configured so that the low-value continuous notice display control means (game control device 30) uses the second profit granting means (game control device 30) or the third profit based on the lottery result. When a profit is given by the grant means (game control device 30), the variation pattern based on the lottery result held before the lottery result is held is set as a mutually related low-value continuous notice fluctuation pattern, and the lottery It is possible to set a variation pattern that is reserved at the start of variation of the variation pattern based on the result to a low value continuous notice variation pattern that is mutually related.

  Therefore, since the low value continuous notice is continuously performed after the second or third hit occurs, the player is less likely to notice that the second or third hit has occurred. It will be expected for the low value continuous notice after the winning, and the expectation and the willingness to play can be kept high until the next winning is obtained.

<Third Embodiment>
Next, a third embodiment of the gaming machine described above will be described with reference to FIGS. Basically, it has the same configuration as the pachinko gaming machine of the above-described embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to the portions having the same configuration, the description is omitted, and the mainly different portions Will be described.

[2R exclusive notice start processing]
As shown in FIG. 20, in the 2R dedicated continuous notice start process in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the 2R dedicated continuous notice start process in the gaming machine of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 18, in step S25 or step S26. When it is determined whether or not the result of the variable display game in the first start memory that is a trigger for setting the dedicated continuous notice variation pattern per 2R is a small hit (step S202), the determination result is a small hit (Step S202; Yes), or when the determination result is per 2R (Step S203) in the determination (Step S203) whether or not the determination result is about 2R (probable large hit, sudden hit big hit, sudden hit big hit) ; Yes) is the first newly generated after the dedicated continuous notice change pattern per 2R is set in step S25 or step S26. In variable display game based on the dynamic memory, performing determination the variable display game results of whether there is to be Koatari a (step S301).

  In the determination as to whether or not there is a result that the variable display game based on the first start memory is a small hit (step S301), if there is a small hit (step S301; Yes), a predetermined ratio Then, a process of changing the fluctuation pattern up to the first start memory where the result of the fluctuation display game is a small hit to the dedicated continuous notice fluctuation pattern per 2R (step S302) is performed. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not there is a result of the variable display game based on the first start memory (Step S301), if there is no result (Step S301; No), the present The process ends.

  Therefore, the low value continuous notice display control means (game control device 30) gives a profit to the second profit granting means (game control device 30) or the third profit granting means (game control device 30) based on the lottery result. If this is the case, the variation pattern based on the lottery result held before the lottery result is held is set as a mutually related low value continuous notice variation pattern, and this lottery is set after the low value continuous notice variation pattern is set. If the lottery result acquired before the start of fluctuation of the fluctuation pattern based on the result has a third win, the low-value continuous notice fluctuation pattern is continuously performed until the fluctuation pattern in which the third win is generated. It will be.

Next, an example of the dedicated continuous notice start process per 2R in the variable display game executed by the process as described above will be described using a timing chart.
FIG. 21 shows the timing from when the variation patterns P11, P12, P13, and P14 are set to the 2R dedicated continuous variation pattern that is related to each other, and then to the timing when the effect display in the dedicated continuous variation pattern per 2R is started. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a state where a game ball has been won at the first start winning opening 13 and a first start memory is newly generated. In addition, the game result of the first special figure variation display game due to winning at the winning timing T11 is per 2R (surprising big hit), the game result of the first special figure variation display game due to winning at the winning timing T2 is not, and It is assumed that the game result of the first special figure variation display game due to winning at the winning timing T3 is a small hit.

  As shown in FIG. 21, since the result of the variable display game in the first start memory that triggered the setting of the dedicated continuous notice change pattern per 2R is per 2R (step S203; Yes), the newly generated first In the variable display game based on one start-up memory, it is determined whether or not there is a game where the result of the variable display game is a small hit (step S301). At this time, the result of the variable display game based on the first start memory at the winning timing T13 is a small hit (step S301; Yes), and the result of the variable display game corresponds to a predetermined ratio at this time. The process of changing the fluctuation patterns P15 and P16 up to the first start memory to become a dedicated continuous notice fluctuation pattern per 2R (step S302) is performed. At timing t11 and t12, since the result of the variable display game in the first start memory at the winning timing T1 is around 2R, the special winning prize opening of the special variable winning device 10 is opened at the timing t1 and t2. At timings t13 and t14, the result of the variable display game in the first start memory at the winning timing T3 is a small hit, so the big winning opening of the special variable winning device 10 is opened at timings t13 and t14.

  From the above, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the third embodiment is provided with the second profit granting means (game control means) or the third profit grant based on the lottery result by the low value continuous notice display control means (game control device 30). When profit is given by means (game control means), the variation pattern based on the lottery result held before the lottery result is held is set as a mutually related low-value continuous notice variation pattern, and the low-value continuous If the lottery result obtained from the setting of the advance fluctuation pattern to the start of fluctuation of the fluctuation pattern based on the lottery result has a third win, it continues until the change pattern in which the third win is generated. Thus, a low-value continuous notice fluctuation pattern can be performed.

  Therefore, even if the third win occurs in the last variable display game of the low value continuous notice, it can be expected that the second win has occurred in the previous variable display game. Even in the variable display game, the game can be enjoyed and it can be expected that the game is in a probable state.

<Fourth embodiment>
Next, 4th Embodiment of the gaming machine mentioned above is described with reference to FIGS. Basically, it has the same configuration as the pachinko gaming machine of the above-described embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to the portions having the same configuration, the description is omitted, and the mainly different portions Will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 22, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, instead of the special variable winning device 10 as the variable winning device in the first embodiment, a first variable winning device dedicated to 15R per lower center of the game area 1a. 50 and a second variable winning device 60 dedicated to 2R on the right side of the game area 1a.

  The first variable prize-winning device 50 includes a first big prize opening that is opened and closed by an attacker-type opening / closing door 50a that can be opened by rotating in a direction in which the upper end side tilts to the near side. , By converting the first grand prize opening from the closed state to the open state, it is possible to facilitate the inflow of game balls into the first big prize opening and to give a predetermined game value (prize ball) to the player It has become. The open / close door 50a is driven by, for example, a solenoid (first big prize opening SOL50b, shown in FIG. 24) as a drive device. In addition, a first count SW 50c (shown in FIG. 24) for detecting a game ball that has entered the first big prize opening is disposed inside the first big prize opening (winning area). Similarly, the second variable prize-winning device 60 includes a second big prize opening that is opened and closed by an attacker-type opening / closing door 60a that can be opened by rotating in a direction in which the upper end side is tilted toward the front side. During 2R or small hits, the second big prize opening is changed from the closed state to the open state, thereby facilitating the inflow of game balls into the second big prize opening and allowing the player to have a predetermined game value ( Award ball). Note that the opening / closing door 60a is driven by, for example, a solenoid (second big prize opening SOL60b, shown in FIG. 24) as a driving device. In addition, a second count SW 60c (shown in FIG. 24) for detecting a game ball that has entered the second grand prize opening is arranged inside the second big prize opening (winning area).

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, a center case 20 having a concave chamber whose front side is opened is disposed in the approximate center of the game area 1a. A display device 43 is disposed in the concave chamber formed in the center case 20, and an armor portion 20a protruding forward is provided on the upper portion thereof. The center case 20 includes an attachment frame portion 20b for attaching the center case 20 to the game area 1a. And on the upper back surface of this attachment frame part 20b, as a game state alerting | reporting apparatus which can alert | report one element for alerting | reporting a normal probability state (1st game state) and a high probability state (2nd game state). A determination round number display 25 is provided, and the LED 15a for 15R and the LED 25b for 2R provided in the determination round number display 25 can be visually recognized from the front side at the upper part of the mounting frame portion 20b. Openings for two LEDs are arranged side by side. Of these two openings, 15R is displayed on the surface of the mounting frame 20b above the right opening. On the surface of the mounting frame 20b above the left opening of the two openings, 2R is displayed. The upper portion of the mounting frame portion 20b only needs to be able to visually recognize the LED 25a for 15R and the LED 25b for 2R, and the portion may be formed of a clear member. In addition, various indicators 480 (usual display indicators) capable of notifying other elements for notifying the normal probability state (first gaming state) and the high probability state (second gaming state) other than the determined round number indicator 25 5, the first special figure indicator 8, the second special figure indicator 9, the universal figure memory indicator 15, the first special figure memory indicator 18, and the second special figure memory indicator 19) are the same as those in the first embodiment. Similar to the pachinko gaming machine 100, it is provided at the lower right front side of the game board main body 1b and outside the guide rail 2.

  As a result, the player's eye level rises to a position (see FIG. 23 (1)) that is parallel to the position where the determined round number display 25 is arranged, so that the player can display the determined round number display. 25, but when the player is sitting in a chair (see FIG. 23 (2)), such as during a game, the field of view is blocked by the armor portion 20a, making it difficult to visually recognize the determined round number display 25. be able to. Therefore, for example, in the first special figure fluctuation display game, when 15R probability variation hit (with electric support until the next big hit) occurs, as shown in FIG. When the hit LED 25a is turned on and the segment LED of the first special figure indicator 8 is turned on as shown in FIG. 25 (1b), and 15R normal hit (with 100 electric supports) occurs, As shown in FIG. 25 (2a), the LED 15a for 15R in the determined round number display 25 is turned on, and the segment LED of the first special figure display 8 is turned on as shown in FIG. 25 (2b). When 2R normal hit (without electric support 100) occurs, as shown in FIG. 26 (3a), the 2R hit LED 25b is turned on in the determined round number display 25. As shown in FIG. 26 (3 b), when the segment LED of the first special figure display 8 is turned on and 2R probability variation (no electric support) occurs, as shown in FIG. 26 (4 a) In addition, the 2R hit LED 25b of the determined round number display 25 is turned on, and the segment LED of the first special figure display 8 is turned on as shown in FIG. In this case, as shown in FIG. 26 (5a), as shown in FIG. 26 (5b), as shown in FIG. 26 (5b), without turning on the LED 25a for 15R and the LED 25b for 2R of the determined round number display 25. The segment LED of the indicator 8 will be lit, but from the state where the player is sitting on the chair, such as during a game, it is difficult to visually recognize the decision round number indicator 25 as described above. Further, since there are a plurality of lighting patterns of the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 in the case of 2R and 15R, in addition to those shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, at this time, the game board It is difficult to recognize the current gaming state only by looking at the various displays 480 provided at the lower right of the front surface of the main body 1b and outside the guide rail 2.

  From the above, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the fourth embodiment includes the center case 20 in the approximate center of the game area 1a, and the center case 20 includes the armor portion 20a protruding forward and the center case 20 in the game area. An armor portion 20a is disposed on the upper part of the center case 20, and the armor portion 20b is disposed on the outer side of the armor portion 20a. A gaming state notifying device (decision round number display 25) capable of notifying one element for notifying the first gaming state and the second gaming state is disposed on the upper portion of the unit 20b.

  Thus, by arranging a gaming state notification device capable of reporting one element for notifying the first gaming state and the second gaming state at the upper part of the mounting frame portion 20b, the gaming state notification device is moved forward. Since it is obstructed by the protruding armor portion 20a, it is difficult for the player who is playing the game to see the game state notification device, so that the player has difficulty in recognizing the current game state and the game state is not known. The game can be continued in anticipation of being in a state. That is, for the game store side, the operating rate of the gaming machine can be increased, and for the player side, it can be expected that the game machine is in a promiscuous state, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  In addition, a first variable winning device 50 capable of generating a state for giving a first profit is provided at a lower center portion of the game area 1a, and a second variable winning device 60 capable of generating a state for giving a second profit is provided. It will be provided on the right side of the region 1a.

  As a result, even when the second variable winning device capable of generating the state of giving the second profit is provided on the right side of the game area, the value is low from before the change of the number of variable display games in which the second winning occurs. In order to carry out the continuous notice, it is possible to aim at the second variable winning device by adjusting the launching force in advance.

  The gaming machine of the present invention should be considered that the embodiment disclosed this time is illustrative and not restrictive in all respects. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.

  For example, in the present embodiment, the dedicated continuous notice process per 2R is designed to be executed only in the first special figure game process. However, the present invention is not limited to this and is designed to be executable in the second special figure game process. May be.
