Description

On the pachinko gaming machine.

  The most popular pachinko machines currently have a special symbol on the display section such as 7-segment, which is displayed in a variable manner when a game ball enters the start opening (start chucker). When the special symbol is in a specific mode (for example, “7”), a special gaming state that is more profitable for the player than the normal gaming state {a special winning opening (attacker) that is normally closed is a predetermined condition Is a model that is called “Digipachi” (conventional “first-class game machine”). Here, in order to reduce the burden of display control of special symbols that are directly linked to the interests of the player, in addition to the aforementioned “special symbols”, it is referred to as “decorative symbols” for the purpose of enhancing the fun of the game. The symbol to be displayed is variably displayed on a display such as a liquid crystal having a size larger than that of the display unit in a form synchronized with the variation of the special symbol. And when the change of the special symbol is started, the decorative symbol also starts to change accordingly, and when the special symbol stops in a specific mode (for example, “7”), the decorative symbol also changes to the predetermined mode (for example, “777”). Then, the player recognizes that the transition to the special game has been confirmed because the decorative symbol has stopped in a predetermined manner.

  Here, since this mechanism is common to this type of pachinko machine, in order to differentiate it from other types, how to devise the overall production including the variation aspect of the above-mentioned design, and to have high interest It is focused on whether to grant. For example, the notice effect is one of them, and a specific character or the like is displayed between the start of the symbol change and the stop of the symbol (typically, from the start of the symbol change to the reach state). It is an effect to display in advance that there is a high possibility of developing into a reach, a possibility of developing into a super reach, and a high probability of winning a jackpot. This notice effect includes the contents of the “predicted change notice effect” for notifying or suggesting a big hit in the change and the content of the reserved ball (pending random value) that has not yet been approved for symbol change. If there is a holding ball that has a high probability of winning a big hit, it will be announced or suggested that the jackpot will be announced or suggested in the pattern change that is digested before the holding ball with a high probability of winning the big hit. "Direction" exists.

  By the way, in recent years, a model (multifunction device) having a plurality of conventional first type functions has been proposed in order to further improve game playability. In the case of the above-mentioned multi-function machine, the second start port has a normal electric accessory so that the other start port (second start port) is easier to win than the one start port (first start port). It is configured to make it easy to win the second starting port by making it easier to open the ordinary electric accessory when a specific game state (probability change state or short time state) is provided. Pachinko machines are the mainstream.

  In addition, a pachinko machine that is set so that profits given to the player are greater when the symbol variation display triggered by the second starting port is greater than the symbol variation display triggered by the first starting port is also proposed. Has been. In this pachinko machine, a technique for preferentially digesting the reserved memory of the second starting port when both the reserved memory of the first starting port and the reserved memory of the second starting port are stored is proposed. ing.

Here, the hold function means that when a random number is acquired based on the ball entering the starting port, when the symbol variation permission based on the random number has not been granted, the symbol variation permission based on the random number up to a predetermined number This is a function that temporarily stores data until it goes down. And in a single machine (conventional first type), when a plurality of random numbers are held, the order of holding digest is basically the order of entering balls, but the conventional first type as described above In models with multiple functions, one symbol variation (design variation due to entering the first starting port) and the other symbol variation (design variation resulting from entering the second starting port) are mutually There are a type that is executed independently (parallel type) and a type that is prohibited from changing the other symbol (series type) when one is changing. In the parallel type, the suspension is released in the order of entering the starting ports, as in the first type. In addition, in the case of the series type, the type in which the holding is released in the order of entry of both start ports (for example, when a certain pattern is fluctuating, the first start port → the second start port → the second start port → the first start) In addition, when the hold is made in the order of mouth, the hold is released in the order of the first symbol → second symbol → second symbol → first symbol after the end of the change of the certain symbol) Digestion type (for example, when a certain symbol is fluctuating, if a hold is made in the order of first start port → second start port → second start port → first start port, The hold is canceled in the order of two symbols → second symbol → first symbol → first symbol).

Here, the meaning of each term in this specification is explained. First, “entered ball” includes not only a winning game in which a winning ball is paid out but also a “through chucker” in which no winning ball is paid out. The “second state in which the entrance area is enlarged” is not particularly limited, but typically, the state in which the variable member is open in the second starting port provided with the variable member. Point to. Here, with regard to the mode of transition to the second state using a random number acquired in response to a predetermined entrance entrance, (1) lottery to transition to the second state as “a specific gaming state that is likely to become the second state” (2) When displaying a lottery result for transition to the second state as identification information, a variation time shortening state in which the variation time of the identification information is shortened from the normal time, (3 ) When winning the lottery to transit to the second state, one or any combination (for example, all) of the open state extended state in which the duration of the second state is made longer than normal can be exemplified. The “open state” refers to a state in which game balls can flow in or can easily flow in, and the “closed state” refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in or a state in which game balls are difficult to flow in. The “identification information” is not particularly limited as long as it is visually recognizable, and can include, for example, numbers, letters, symbols, etc. (for example, first main identification information managed on the main game department side) And second main identification information, sub-identification information managed on the sub-game side). The “information output” is not particularly limited as long as it is an output form that can be recognized by the player through the five senses. For example, information output through vision (for example, display on the sub-identification information display unit, lighting of the side lamp), Information output through hearing (for example, voice or sound through sound output means such as a speaker) or information output through touch (for example, vibration through a shooting means held by a player or operation means touched by the player) But you can. “Winning” is a concept related to award ball payout. “Random number” is a random number (game content determination random number) used in a lottery (a lottery by an electronic computer) for determining some game content in a pachinko game machine. For example, a so-called “ “Basic random numbers”, specifically, “Winning random numbers” related to the transition of special games, “Variation mode determination random numbers” for determining the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol, “Design symbols for determining the stop symbol” “Decided random number”, “hit symbol determined random number” for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, and the like. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. In addition, in the claims and in the present specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of a random number or a plurality of random numbers. Random numbers acquired by a single entry into the ball are called one (ie, in the above example, a random number bundle of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + design determining random number ... Called random numbers). Further, for example, a kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). The “identification information variation start condition” indicates, for example, that the previous identification information variation is not being executed or is not in a special game. The “information relating to the first random number” transmitted from the main gaming unit to the secondary gaming unit is the information relating to the random number range including the first random number {the random number range is divided into X pieces, even in the first random number itself. In this case, the information indicating that the range is the nth random number range (for example, ID information)} is also derived from the first random number {for example, result of lottery determination, variation mode, stop symbol, stop symbol attribute information (lost, hit) , Per probability variation, etc.)}. The “information derived based on the information related to the first random number” output on the side of the sub-game unit means, for example, whether or not the game is successful when the game is executed using the first random number, identification information The content of the game, the result of the change, the presence / absence of the notice display, the content thereof, and the like can be given as information that informs or suggests the content of the game. The “main game part” and the “sub game part” are synonymous with those well known in the art, and the former is also called “main board side” and the latter is also called “sub board side”. The latter includes not only the case where there is only one sub-board, but also a mode in which the function of the sub-game unit is achieved with a plurality of boards, such as what is called sub-board + sub-sub-board. The best mode of the present invention will be described below. The best mode described below is a model in which two conventional first-class pachinko machines are mixed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other gaming machines having a holding function (for example, the conventional first type It is also within the scope of the present invention when it is applied to a kind, a gaming machine having two conventional first type functions and one conventional second type function.

Here, the “specific game” means, for example, a probability variation game in which a lottery probability for a special game is higher than that in a normal game or a time shortening game in which the variation time of a main game symbol is relatively shorter than that in a normal game. Point to.

  Here, in the best mode, during the time reduction, the variation time of the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol is relatively shortened (time reduction function) compared to the non-time reduction. Furthermore, the variation time of the auxiliary game symbol is also relatively shortened, and the opening extension time of the electric accessory 2112 of the second main game starting port 2110 is relatively extended (opening time extension function). In addition, the time reduction in this best mode is ended when the total value of the number of changes in the first main game symbol and the number of changes in the second main game symbol exceeds a predetermined number (excluding the probability change game with no time limit restriction). ). That is, the number of time reductions is subtracted for each change (stop) of the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol. Here, as shown in Table 4, in this best mode, the specific game content is predetermined for each winning symbol, and when the special game related to each winning symbol ends, the specific game is referred to by referring to this table. The content is determined. The above-mentioned specific game end condition determining means 1181 has, for example, a function of performing a lottery transition from a specific game (for example, a probability-change game or a time-reduced game) to a normal game with a predetermined probability every time a symbol changes.

Next, in step 1807, the set random number information erasing unit 1311b refers to the reservation prefetch random number information temporary storage unit 1311a, deletes the random number value related to the second main game symbol transmitted to the sub-side, and performs the next processing ( The process proceeds to the main game symbol display process in step 1400. The above is the hold prefetch information transmission control process in the time-saving game (in this example, especially in the normal symbol time-saving game).

  Next, step 1808 to step 1811 are holding prefetch information transmission control processing immediately after the time-saving game is ended. First, in the case of No in step 1802, in step 1808, the hold prefetch information transmission control unit 1310 determines whether or not the short time end flag in the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190 is on. Here, the short-time end flag is a flag that is turned on immediately after the end of the time-reducing game, and ensures that the processing of steps 1809 to 1811 described later is executed only once immediately after the end of the time-reduced game. Flag. In the case of Yes in step 1808, in step 1809, the hold prefetch information transmission control means 1310 refers to the hold prefetch random number information temporary storage means 1311, and all the holds set in the hold prefetch random number information temporary storage means 1311. Pre-reading information (that is, random number information that is cumulatively set in the temporary pre-reading random number information storage means 1311 at the end of the “time saving gaming state”) is transmitted to the sub-side. Next, in step 1810, the set random number information erasing unit 1311b refers to the reservation prefetch random number information temporary storage unit 1311a and deletes all the random number information transmitted to the sub side. Then, in step 1811, the hold prefetch information transmission control means 1310 turns off the time-saving end flag in the game state temporary storage means 1190, and proceeds to the next process (main game symbol display process in step 1400).

  Next, Steps 1813 to 1814 are pending look-ahead information transmission control processing in a non-short-time game (for example, a normal game with non-probability variation, a probability variation game without time-short game). First, in the case of No in step 1808, in step 1813, the hold prefetch information transmission control means 1310 refers to the hold prefetch random number information temporary storage means 1134a, and sets the random number information related to the set main game random number to the sub side. Send. In step 1814, the set random number information erasing unit 1311b refers to the reservation prefetch random number information temporary storage unit 1311a, and deletes the random number information related to the first main game symbol or the second main game symbol transmitted to the sub side. Then, the process proceeds to the next process (main game symbol display process of step 1400).

  Here, as shown in the series of processes related to Step 1800, when the hold prefetch information related to the second main game symbol is updated, the hold prefetch information is used regardless of whether or not it is in the time-reduced gaming state. Is sent to the immediate sub-side. On the other hand, when the hold prefetch information related to the first main game symbol is updated, the hold prefetch information is immediately transmitted to the sub side only when not in the time-saving gaming state. As will be described later, the performance based on the hold prefetch information relating to the first main game symbol or the second main game symbol (that is, prior suggestion of jackpot possibility) is performed only on the sub side. . Therefore, in the time-reduced game state, an effect based on the hold prefetch information relating to the first main game symbol does not occur. In addition, the hold prefetch information related to the hold that has not been digested at the end of the time-reduced gaming state is configured to be transmitted to the immediate sub-side at the end of the time-reduced gaming state. Therefore, the effect based on the hold prefetch information relating to the first main game symbol that could not occur in the time-reduced gaming state is immediately executed when the time-reduced gaming state ends. In other words, even if there is a ball entering the first main game start opening during the time-saving game, the time-saving gaming state is ended by temporarily storing the hold pre-reading information based on the ball. Sometimes it is possible to perform the effect by tracing back the temporarily stored reservation prefetch information. In addition, when the jackpot probability is high, or when the transition frequency to the time shortening game state is high (for example, super sweet digital type), the suspension related to the first main game symbol becomes undigested at the end of the time shortening game state, This is more suitable in the case where the frequency of making a big hit by holding increases.

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. First, in step 1401, the main game symbol hold release control means 1154 refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a, and confirms whether there is no hold of the second main game symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1401, in step 1400 (2), main controller 1000 executes a first main game symbol display process described later, and proceeds to step 1500. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1401, in step 1400 (1), main controller 1000 executes a second main game symbol display process described later and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). Transition. Thus, in this best mode, when there is a holding ball of the second main game symbol, regardless of the presence of the holding ball of the first main game symbol (even if the winning order is the holding of the first main game symbol) Even if this is the case), the second main game symbol will be prioritized and executed.

  Next, FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the first main game symbol display process (second main game symbol display process) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} in FIG. First, in step 1402, the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) determines whether or not a change start condition is satisfied. Here, the condition for starting the change is that the special game or the design is not changing.

  In the case of Yes in step 1402, in step 1404, the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). Then, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1404, in step 1406, the first main game content determination unit 1141 (second main game content determination unit 1142) serves as the first main game probability variation game state lottery table 1141a-2 (first table). 2 main game probability variation game state lottery table 1142a-2) is set, and the process proceeds to step 1414. The table to be set is determined based on the success / failure number (the same applies hereinafter).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1404, in step 1408, the first main game content determination unit 1141 (second main game content determination unit 1142) sets the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a). Referring to it, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1408, in step 1410, the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) serves as a reference table for the first main game time shortened game state lottery table 1141a-3 (first The two main game time reduction gaming state lottery table 1142a-3) is set, and the process proceeds to step 1414.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1408, in step 1412, the first main game content determination unit 1141 (second main game content determination unit 1142) uses the first main game normal game state lottery table 1141a-1 ( The second main game normal gaming state lottery table 1142a-1) is set, and the process proceeds to step 1414.

  Next, in step 1414, the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) is a first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1131a (second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a. ) Is temporarily stored, and the game content determination random number related to the current symbol variation is read out. Next, in step 1415, the set random number information deleting unit 1311b deletes the hold prefetch information (random number value) relating to the current symbol variation, which is temporarily stored in the hold prefetch random number information temporary storage unit 1311a. Here, in the time-reduced game state, the transmission and update (deletion) processing of the hold prefetch information relating to the first main game symbol to the sub side is not executed (see FIG. 9). Therefore, the hold prefetch information related to the change is updated at the timing when the hold related to the first main game symbol is exhausted in the time-saving game state. Next, in Step 1403, the winning / not-lotting means 1135 sets the first main game big hit lottery table 1135b-1 (second) which is the winning / losing lottery table corresponding to each gaming state set in Step 1406, Step 1410 or Step 1412. With reference to the main game jackpot lottery table 1135b-3), the main game symbol winning lottery is executed based on the game content determination random number (winning random number). In step 1417, the special game transition determining unit 1135a determines whether or not the lottery result is a win. In the case of Yes in step 1417, in step 1418, the special game transition determining unit 1135a turns on the “win flag” in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a). On the other hand, if No at step 1417, step 1416 is skipped.

  Then, in step 1416, the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) sets the change contents (stop symbols, etc.) corresponding to each game state set in step 1406, step 1410 or step 1412. Fluctuation mode) Refers to the first main game content determination lottery table 1141a (second main game content determination lottery table 1142a), which is a lottery table, and based on the game content determination random number (for example, main game symbol determination random number) In addition to determining a stop symbol for the symbol, a variation mode of the main game symbol is determined based on a game content determination random number (for example, a variation mode determination random number), and these are changed to the first main game symbol information temporary storage means 1191b (second main game). The symbol information temporary storage means 1192b) is temporarily stored.

  Next, in step 1419, the information transmission means 1300 displays the symbol information (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) related to the main game symbol determined in step 1416 and the current game state effect display control means. Transmit to 2320 side. Next, in step 1420, the first main game symbol variation time management means 1151a (second main game symbol variation time management means 1152a) sets the predetermined time (the variation time according to the variation mode determined in step 1416) to the first. It is set in the main game symbol variation management timer 1151a-1 (second main game symbol variation management timer 1152a-1). Then, in step 1422, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152) is the first main game symbol of the first main game symbol display device 2130 (second main game symbol display device 2230). On the display unit 2131 (second main game symbol display unit 2231), in accordance with the variation mode stored in the first main game symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b (second main game symbol information temporary storage unit 1192b), Start the variable display. Next, in step 1446, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152) turns on the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). To do. In step 1434, the first main game symbol variation time management means 1151a (second main game symbol variation time management means 1152a) determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. Here, in the case of No in step 1434, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 1434, in step 1436, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a command indicating that the predetermined time has been reached to the effect display control unit 2320 side. Next, in step 1438, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152) makes the first main game of the first main game symbol display device 2130 (second main game symbol display device 2230). The variable display of the main game symbol on the symbol display unit 2131 (second main game symbol display unit 2231) is stopped, and the first main game symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b (second main game symbol information temporary storage unit 1192b) is stopped. The stored stop symbol is displayed and controlled as a fixed stop symbol. Next, in step 1440, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152) turns off the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). To. In step 1442, the first main game symbol variation time management means 1151a (second main game symbol variation time management means 1152a) first timer game variation management timer 1151a-1 (second main game symbol variation management). Timer 1152a-1) is reset. Next, in step 1450, main controller 1000 executes a specific game end determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500).

  In the case of No in step 1402, in step 1444, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152), the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). ), It is determined whether or not the changing flag is ON. If Yes in step 1444, the process proceeds to step 1434. If No, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination according to the subroutine of steps 1450 (1) and (2) in FIG. First, in step 1452, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time / count counter 1181a to determine whether or not the time / count counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1454, the specific game control unit 1180 subtracts 1 from the time-count counter value of the time-count counter 1181a. Next, in step 1456, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time reduction counter 1181a and determines whether or not the time reduction is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1456, in step 1460, the specific game control unit 1180 turns off the time reduction flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and the time reduction flag in the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a. Next, in step 1462, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the short time end flag in the game state temporary storage means 1190, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500). In addition, also when it is No by step 1452 and step 1456, it transfers to the following process (special game operation condition determination process 1500).

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the special game operation condition determination process according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the condition determination unit 1171 refers to the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a) and determines whether or not the hit flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the condition determining means 1171 causes the first main game symbol display unit 2131 (second main game symbol) of the first main game symbol display device 2130 (second main game symbol display device 2230). It is determined whether or not the main game symbol displayed on the display unit 2231) is stopped in a predetermined manner. In the case of Yes in step 1504, in step 1505, the special game content determination means 1172 refers to the special game content reference table 1172a (see the previous table) on the basis of the predetermined mode, thereby determining the content of the special game. set. Next, in steps 1552 and 1554, the specific game control unit 1180 temporarily turns off the specific game flag (probability variation flag / time reduction flag) in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a. At the same time, the time reduction counter 1181a is reset (time reduction counter value = 0). Then, in step 1506 and step 1508, the condition determination means 1171 turns on the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means). The winning flag in 1192a) is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (special game control process in step 1600). It should be noted that, even in the case of No in step 1502 and step 1504, the process proceeds to the next process (special game control process in step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in step 1604 and step 1606, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and turns on the special game execution flag. Next, in step 1608, the information transmission means 1200 transmits a special game start signal to the effect display control means 2320 side, and the process proceeds to step 1612. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1602, in step 1610, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 1610, the process proceeds to step 1612. In the case of No in step 1610, the special game executing means 1173 determines that the special game permission has not been granted, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 1700).

  Next, in step 1612, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and whether or not the round continuation flag is on, in other words, whether or not the round is in the middle. Determine. If Yes in step 1612, that is, if the round is in the middle, the process proceeds to step 1624 without performing the processes of steps 1614 to 1622 described in detail below. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1612, that is, immediately before the start of the round, first, in step 1614, the special game execution unit 1173 sets the release pattern (for example, release) set in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Set the opening pattern to continue and the pattern to open and close. Next, in step 1616, the special game executing means 1173 clears the winning ball counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 to zero. Next, in step 1618, the special game executing means 1173 adds 1 to the round number counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Note that the number of rounds stored in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 is 0 immediately after the start of the special game (initial value), and is incremented by 1 each time a round is repeated thereafter. Next, in step 1620, the special game executing means 1173 turns on the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. In step 1622, the special game executing means 1173 drives the first electric combination 2122 of the first big prize opening 2120 or the second electric combination 2222 of the second big prize opening 2220 to drive the first big prize opening 2120. Alternatively, the second big prize opening 2220 is opened, and the process proceeds to Step 1624.

  Next, in step 1624, the information transmission means 1300 transmits the current game state information (for example, the current number of rounds, the number of winning game balls, etc.) to the effect display control means 2320 side. In step 1626, the special game execution unit 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 and determines whether or not a predetermined ball (for example, 10 balls) has been won in the round. If Yes in step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1630. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1626, in step 1628, the special game executing means 1173 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed with reference to the special game timer 1174a (particularly, an opening time timer). Also in the case of Yes in step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1630, and in the case of No, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 1700).

  Next, in step 1630, the special game executing means 1173 stops driving the first electric combination 2122 of the first big prize opening 2120 or the second electric combination 2222 of the second big prize opening 2220, and the first big The winning opening 2120 or the second major winning opening 2220 is closed. In step 1632, the special game executing means 1173 resets a special game timer 1174a (particularly, an opening time timer). Next, in step 1634, the special game executing means 1173 turns off the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1636, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and the round is a final round (for example, 15 rounds when the probability fluctuation jackpot and the time shortening fluctuation jackpot are abrupt, suddenly It is determined whether or not it is 2 rounds in the case of a probability variation jackpot. In the case of Yes in step 1636, in step 1638, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game execution flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1640, the information transmission means 1300 transmits a special game end signal to the effect display control means 2320 side. In step 1650, the game control unit 1100 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 1700). Even in the case of No in step 1636, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 1700).

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the game state determination processing after the special game according to the subroutine of step 1650 in FIG. First, in step 1652, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the game state temporary storage means 1191 and determines whether or not the current special game is a probability variation big hit. In the case of Yes in step 1652, in step 1654, the specific game control unit 1180 turns on the probability variation flag in the game state temporary storage unit 1191. Next, in step 1656, the specific game control unit 1180 refers to the game state temporary storage unit 1191 and determines whether or not the current special game has a time reduction variation. In the case of Yes in step 1656, in step 1658, the specific game control unit 1180 refers to the game state temporary storage unit 1191 and determines whether or not the current special game has a limited number of time reductions. In the case of Yes in step 1658, in step 1660, the specific game control means 1180 sets a predetermined number of times (30 times in this best mode) in the time-count counter 1181a, and proceeds to step 1664. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1658, in step 1662, the specific game control unit 1180 sets the maximum number of times (for example, 65535 times) that can be specified as the counter value in the time-count counter 1181a, and proceeds to step 1664. Next, in step 1664, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the time reduction flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 1700). If No in step 1652, the process proceeds to step 1656. If No in step 1656, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 1700).

  Next, control processing executed on the sub-board side will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 16 is a main flowchart on the sub-board side in the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode. First, in step 7100, the effect display control means 2320 executes a hold information management process described later. Next, in step 7200, the effect display control means 2320 executes a trigger hold presence confirmation / special hold display target hold determination process described later. Next, in step 7500, the effect display control means 2320 executes a hold / special hold display control process to be described later. Next, in step 6100, the effect display control means 2320 executes a decorative symbol display content determination process described later. Next, in step 7600, the effect display control means 2320 executes a hold / special hold digest control process described later. Next, in step 6700, the effect display control means 2320 executes a decorative symbol display control process to be described later. Next, in step 6300, the effect display control means 2320 executes a special game display control process described later, and repeats the process of returning to step 7100. Each subroutine will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the hold information management process according to the subroutine of step 7100 in FIG. First, in step 7102, the drawing hold information display control means 2323 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means 2321a and sets new hold-related information {first main game symbol or second main game symbol from the main controller side. It is determined whether or not such hold information or random number information (hold prefetch information)} has been received. If YES in step 7102, in step 7104, the drawing hold information display control means 2323 (hold prefetch display control means) refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a and receives new random number information (see FIG. It is determined whether or not the hold prefetch information transmitted in the process 9 is received. If Yes in step 7104, in step 7106, the drawing hold information display control means (hold prefetch display control means) 2323 temporarily stores the random number value derived from the received random number information in the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2323a. Store (with digestion order), and proceed to the next processing (trigger hold presence confirmation / special hold display target hold determination process in step 7200). On the other hand, if No in step 7104, that is, if the relevant hold-related information is information indicating that a new hold has been made, in step 7112, the drawing hold information display control means 2323 displays the drawing hold information temporarily. “1” is added to the drawing hold counter (maximum 4 for the first main game and maximum 4 for the second main game) in the storage means 2323a, and the next processing (confirmation of presence of trigger hold in step 7200) Shift to special hold display target hold decision processing. On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 7102, in Step 7120, the effect display control means 2320 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means 2321a, and receives a symbol variation start signal (first main game symbol or second main game symbol from the main controller side). It is determined whether or not a symbol variation start signal related to a game symbol has been received. In the case of Yes in step 7120, in step 7122, the effect display control means 2320 accesses the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means 2322c, turns on the symbol content determination permission flag, and performs the next process (in step 7200). Trigger hold existence confirmation / special hold display target hold decision processing). In the case of No in step 7120, the process proceeds to the next process (trigger hold presence confirmation / special hold display target hold determination process in step 7200). In this best mode, the temporarily stored hold prefetch information is only a random value, but is not limited to this, and the variation mode prefetch information derived based on the random number information transmitted from the main control unit side, whether or not Any information such as prefetching information, variable time prefetching information, stop symbol prefetching information, gaming state prefetching information, etc. may be temporarily stored as pending prefetching information.

Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the trigger hold presence confirmation / special hold display target hold determination process according to the subroutine of step 7200 in FIG. First, in step 7202, the drawing hold information display control means 2323 accesses the flag area of the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2323a, and determines whether or not the trigger hold presence flag is off. Here, the “trigger hold presence flag” is a flag that is turned on when a hold that triggers the special hold display exists in the current hold. If YES in step 7202, in step 7204, the drawing hold information display control unit 2323 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2323a and satisfies a predetermined condition (trigger hold lottery condition) in the hold. Whether or not a holding has been added, specifically referring to the holding prefetch reference table 2323b, whether or not a winning value exists, and the reliability of the variation mode is not less than a predetermined value (L3 or more in Table 7). There are some cases. In the case of Yes in step 7204, in step 7206, the drawing hold information display control means 2323 obtains a random number and draws a lot to determine whether or not to hold the trigger. In step 7208, the drawing hold information display control unit 2323 determines whether or not the lottery result in step 7206 is a win. If Yes in step 7208, in step 7210, the drawing hold information display control means 2323 accesses the flag area of the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2323a and turns on the trigger hold presence flag. Next, in step 7212, P & ID suspension information display control unit 2323, whether the hold is what number pending accesses the H _t value counter of P & ID pending information temporary storage means 2323a "k value" Remember as. Next, in step 7214, the drawing hold information display control unit 2323 accesses the flag area of the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2323a, turns on the special hold display content determination flag, and performs the next processing (holding in step 7500).・ Move to special hold display control process. In addition, also in the case of No in Step 7202, Step 7204, or Step 7208, the process proceeds to the next process (hold / special hold display control process in Step 7500).

Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the hold / special hold display control process according to the subroutine of step 7500 in FIG. First, in step 7502, the drawing hold information display control means 2323 accesses the drawing hold counter 2323a-1 in the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2323a, grasps the current counter value, and then determines the counter value. Execute the same number of hold displays as. In step 7504, the drawing hold information display control unit 2323 accesses the flag area of the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2323a, and determines whether or not the special hold display content determination flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 7504, in step 7506, the drawing hold information display control unit 2323 accesses the flag area of the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2323a and turns off the special hold display content determination flag. Then, in step 7508, P & ID suspension information display control unit 2323 accesses the H _t value counter of P & ID pending information temporary storage means 2323a to grasp the "k value" special the k th hold display Change to the hold display (for example, change the hold display displayed on the first hold display portion 2312a or the second hold display portion 2312b to a white circle “◯” to a special hold display black circle “●”). . Next, the drawing hold information display control means 2323 accesses the flag area of the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2323a, turns on the special hold display flag, and performs the next process (decorative symbol display content determination process in step 6100). ). Even in the case of No in step 7504, the process proceeds to the next process (decorative symbol display content determination process in step 6100).

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of step 6100 in FIG. First, in step 6102, the drawing display content determination unit 2322a refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage unit 2322c and determines whether or not the symbol content determination permission flag is on. If Yes in step 6102, the drawing display content determination unit 2322 a turns off the symbol content determination permission flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage unit 2322 c in step 6103. Next, in step 6104, the drawing display content determination means 2322a is based on the symbol information from the main controller 1000 side temporarily stored in the main side information temporary storage means 2321a, and the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2322a. With reference to -1, the decoration pattern variation mode and stop symbol are determined, and the determination information is temporarily stored in the symbol related information area of the drawing display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. Note that the main-side information used in this process is not indeterminate information related to the hold prefetching (that is, information transmitted in steps 1806, 1809, and 1813 in FIG. 9), but when the hold is consumed. Information (ie, information in step 1419 in FIG. 11). It should be noted that the stop symbol / variation mode from the main controller 1000 side (that is, the stop symbol / variation mode of the main game symbol) and the stop symbol / variation mode determined by the effect display control means 2320 side (that is, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol) The variation mode does not have to be one-to-one correspondence. For example, the variation display ratio on the production display control means 2320 side may have a plurality of patterns with respect to one variation mode from the main controller 1000 side. . Next, in step 6106, the drawing display content determination means 2322a turns on the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2323a and performs the next process (at the time of hold / special hold digestion in step 7600). Control processing). Even in the case of No in step 6102, the process proceeds to the next process (control process at the time of hold / special hold digest in step 7600).

Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the hold / special hold digest control process according to the subroutine of step 7600 in FIG. First, in step 7602, the drawing hold information display control unit 2323 accesses the flag area of the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2323a, and determines whether or not the hold digest permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 7602, in step 7604, the drawing hold information display control unit 2323 accesses the flag area of the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2323a and turns off the hold digest permission flag. Next, in step 7606, the drawing hold information display control means 2323 deletes the content information of the random number relating to the current hold temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2323a, and the subsequent hold is related. Shift the content information of random numbers. In step 7608, the drawing hold information display control unit 2323 decrements the counter value of the drawing hold counter 2323a-1 in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2323a by one. Next, in step 7610, P & ID suspension information display control unit 2323 subtracts 1 from the counter value of _{H t} value counter 2323a-2 of the P & ID pending information in temporary storage unit 2323A. Next, in step 7612, the drawing hold information display control unit 2323 accesses the flag area of the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2323a, and determines whether or not the special hold display flag is on. If Yes at step 7612, in step 7614, P & ID suspension information display control unit 2323, whether or not the counter value of _{H t} value counter 2323a-2 of the P & ID pending information in temporary storage unit 2323A is 0, i.e., Then, it is determined whether or not the hold to be digested this time is a special hold display target. In the case of Yes in step 7614, in step 7616 and step 7618, the drawing hold information display control unit 2323 terminates the special hold display and accesses the flag area in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2323a to display the special hold. Turn off the display flag. In step 7620, the drawing hold information display control unit 2323 accesses the flag area in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2323a and turns off the trigger hold presence flag. Next, the decoration symbol display control means 2322 accesses the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means 2322c, turns on the symbol variation permission flag, and proceeds to the next process (decoration symbol display control process of step 6700). To do.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 7612, in step 7624, the drawing hold information display control unit 2323 accesses the flag area in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2323a and determines whether or not the trigger hold presence flag is on. Determine. In the case of Yes in step 7624, in step 7626, the drawing hold information display control means 2323 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2323a to determine whether or not there is no hold that triggered trigger hold. judge. In the case of Yes in step 7626, the process proceeds to step 7620, and the trigger pending presence flag is turned off. If No in step 7602, the process proceeds to the next process (decorative symbol display control process in step 6700), and if No in step 7614, step 7624, or step 7626, the process proceeds to step 7622.

  Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 6700 in FIG. First, in step 6702, the effect display control means 2320 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means 2322c and determines whether or not the “design changing flag” is off. In the case of Yes in step 6702, in step 6704, the effect display control means 2320 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means 2322c and determines whether or not the symbol variation permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 6704, in step 6706 and step 6708, the effect display control means 2320 turns on the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means 2322c and sets the symbol change permission flag. Turn off. Next, in step 6710, the effect display control means 2320 starts the variable display of decorative symbols on the effect display device 2310 according to the determination contents temporarily stored in the equipment display related information temporary storage means 2322c.

  Then, in step 6730, effect display control means 2320 refers to main side information temporary storage means 2321a and determines whether or not a final display command has been received from main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6730, in step 6732, the effect display control means 2320 confirms and displays the stop symbol of the decoration symbol in accordance with the determination content (stop symbol) temporarily stored in the drawing display related information temporary storage means 2322c. . In step 6734, the effect display control means 2320 turns off the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and proceeds to the next process (special game display control process 6900). .

  If No in step 6702, the process proceeds to step 6730. If No in steps 6704 and 6730, the process proceeds to the next process (special game display control process 6900).

  Next, FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the special game display control processing according to the subroutine of step 6300 in FIG. First, in step 6302, the effect display control means 2320 refers to the flag area of the effect general information temporary storage means 2324, and determines whether or not the special gaming flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 6302, in step 6304, the effect display control means 2320 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a and determines whether or not a special game start signal has been received from the main control device 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6304, in step 6306 and step 6308, the effect display control means 2320 turns on the special game flag in the flag area of the effect general information temporary storage means 2324, and the jackpot on the effect display device 2310. Start display. In step 6310, the effect display control means 2320 sequentially displays the number of rounds and the number of winning prizes on the effect display device 2310 based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main control device 1000 side (probability change big hit or (Displayed only for time reduction variation jackpot) Here, if the sudden probability change jackpot and small win, if the number of rounds is displayed, the player will know whether the current win is "sudden probability fluctuation jackpot" or "small hit" In such a case, the number of rounds is not displayed in the process. Next, in step 6312, the effect display control means 2320 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a, and determines whether or not a special game end signal has been received from the main control apparatus 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6312, in step 6314, the effect display control unit 2320 performs jackpot end display on the effect display device 2310. Then, in step 6316, the effect display control means 2320 turns off the special gaming flag in the flag area of the effect general information temporary storage means 2324, and proceeds to the next process (holding information management process 7100). If NO in step 6302, the process proceeds to step 6310. If NO in step 6304 and step 6312, the process proceeds to the next process (holding information management process 7100).

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(Reservation pre-reading effect processing under normal gaming conditions)
First, FIG. 24 is an operation diagram of the hold pre-reading effect process when there is a hold with high reliability on the first main game symbol side in the normal game state. First, the left part of the figure is the state on the main control device side, and the right part of the figure is the state on the effect display control side. Further, the upper part of the right part of the figure is a diagram showing a state on the effect display device 2310, and the lower part is a diagram showing the temporary storage contents of the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2323a. In this best mode, it is rare to enter the second main game start opening in the normal game state, and the hold related to the second main game symbol (and the hold prefetch information related to the second main game symbol). Since it is rare to occur, the description will be focused on the first main game symbol, but the same effect is obtained for the second main game symbol. In this example, (1) when a game ball enters the first main game start opening, first, various random values related to the first main game symbol are stored in the temporary prefetch random number information storage means on the main controller side. The Next, (2) the various random values temporarily stored in (1) on the main control device side are transmitted to the immediate effect display control side and temporarily stored in the main-side information temporary storage means 2321a. Next, after prefetching the main game symbol based on the random number values temporarily stored in (2) on the side of the effect display control (2), the symbol content, the variation mode, the variation mode and reliability of the decorative symbol And information related to reliability is temporarily stored as a hold prefetch result. Next, (4) the trigger hold occurs based on the reliability temporarily stored in (3) on the effect display control side, and the trigger hold becomes the target of “special hold display”. The display form is a special hold display form different from the normal display form. As a result of the processes (1) to (4) above, the player has a sense of expectation when the third hold is over, because the third hold is a special hold display.

(Reservation pre-reading effect processing in time-saving gaming state)
Next, FIG. 25 is an operation diagram of the hold prefetch effect process when there is a hold with high reliability on the second main game symbol side in the time-reduced game state. In this best mode, in the time-reduced gaming state, the player frequently enters the second main game starting port, and the hold related to the second main game symbol (and thus the hold prefetch information related to the second main game symbol) ) Also occurs frequently. In addition, the ball enters the first main game start opening with the same frequency as that in the normal game state, but until the hold related to the second main game symbol is fully consumed, Since the base symbol variation is not started, if the time-reduced game progresses to some extent, up to the upper limit number of suspensions relating to the first main game symbol will be accumulated. In this example, (1) when a game ball enters the second main game start port (first main game start port), as in the normal game state, first, the second main game symbol (first The suspension relating to (1 main game symbol) is temporarily stored in the random number information temporary storage means for holding prefetching. Next, (2) various random numbers related to the second main game symbol, which are temporarily stored in (1) on the main controller side, are transmitted to the immediate effect display control side and temporarily stored in the main side information temporary storage means 2321a. Although stored, various random values related to the first main game symbol are not transmitted to the effect display control side. Therefore, (3) the same processing as in the normal gaming state is executed in the second main game symbol temporarily stored in (2) on the effect display control side, but no processing is performed in the first main game symbol. Never executed. Therefore, also in the process (4), the same process as in the normal gaming state is executed only in the second main game symbol.

  In addition, in (2), various random numbers related to the first main game symbol are transmitted to the effect display control side, and the fourth hold on the first main game symbol side is performed by the processes (3) to (4). Also assume that special hold is displayed. In that case, the player has a sense of expectation for the jackpot on the fourth hold on the first main game symbol side. However, since the symbol variation based on the hold related to the first main game symbol is not started until all the hold related to the second main game symbol is exhausted, the player stops the launch of the game ball, and the first main game It is assumed that the start of the symbol variation based on the hold related to the symbol is promoted. Here, in this best mode, since the profit rate in the second main game is generally higher than the profit rate in the first main game, the game ball is launched in the time-saving game state. Stopping and reducing the chance of the variable display of the second main game symbol directly leads to a disadvantage of the player. Therefore, in order to prevent such an action from being promoted, the reserved pre-reading effect relating to the first main game symbol is not generated under the time-saving game state.

(Reservation pre-reading effect processing after the end of the time-saving gaming state)
Next, FIG. 26 is an operation diagram of the hold pre-reading effect process when there is a hold with high reliability on both the first main game symbol side and the second main game symbol side before and after the end of the time reduction game state. In this best mode, it is difficult to enter the second main game starting port after the time-reduced gaming state is finished, but the first main game symbol and the second game accumulated before the time-reduced gaming state is finished. It can be assumed that a large number of suspensions related to the main game symbol have not been digested. In this example, (1) the time-reduced gaming state is reached when the suspension related to the second main game symbol is preferentially digested and the time-reduced game count reaches the upper limit (30 times) due to the end of the symbol variation related to the suspension. finish. Next, (2) all the random numbers related to the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol, which are temporarily stored in (1) on the main control device side, are effect display control at the same time as the time shortening game ends. And temporarily stored in the main-side information temporary storage unit 2321a. Therefore, (3) the same processing as in the normal gaming state is executed for all the various random numbers of the first main gaming symbol and the second main gaming symbol temporarily stored in (2) on the effect display control side. Therefore, also in the process of (4), all the hold prefetch effect processes of the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol are executed.

  With the above processing, after the time-reduced gaming state ends, the special hold display is continuously displayed for the second hold on the second main game symbol side (displayed as the third hold before the end of the time-reduced gaming state). In addition, the special hold display may be newly displayed in the fourth hold on the first main game symbol side. In that case, the player will continue to have a sense of expectation for the jackpot on the second hold on the second main game symbol side, and also on the fourth hold on the first main game symbol side that has newly occurred. You will have a sense of expectation. Therefore, after the time reduction game ends, until the fourth hold on the first main game symbol side is digested, that is, until all of the pending reservations are digested after the end of the time reduction game state. Even so, you can continue to expect a big hit.

  According to this best mode, when it is a multi-function machine and a priority digestion type pachinko gaming machine and generates a hold prefetching notice effect based on hold of each of the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol, In the time-reduced game state, the hold pre-reading notice effect based on the hold related to the first main game symbol is not generated, and the hold pre-reading notice effect based on the unsettled hold at the end of the time-reducing game state is generated It is configured to be able to be made. That is, even when there is a ball entering the first main game start port during the time-saving game state, by temporarily storing the hold pre-read information based on the ball entry, when the time-saving game state ends. Since it is possible to perform the performance retroactively from the temporarily stored reservation prefetch information, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

  Furthermore, in the process of generating a hold pre-reading notice effect based on hold that has not been digested at the end of the time-saving gaming state, the main control device side holds pre-reading information generated and temporarily stored during the time-saving gaming state. Is simply processed at the end of the time-reduced gaming state, so that the processing load on the main controller side at the end of the time-reduced gaming state can be reduced.

  Next, a modified example of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described. In this best mode, in step 1809 of FIG. 9, the hold prefetch information relating to the hold that has not been digested at the end of the time reduction gaming state is transmitted to the immediate sub-side at the end of the time reduction gaming state. In other words, the pre-read information for the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol that have not been used at the end of the time-saving game state is transmitted at the same time. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the transmission timing of the hold prefetch information of the first main game symbol may be delayed. Hereinafter, changes from the best mode will be described.

  First, FIG. 27 is a flowchart of the hold prefetch information transmission control process according to the subroutine of step 1800 in the modification of the best mode. First, the purpose of this process is that in the “time-reduced game state”, the pre-reading notice effect based on the hold of the first main game symbol is not generated, and the “time-reduced game state” is not yet completed. Only when there is no hold based on the hold of the second main game symbol, it is possible to generate the hold prefetch notice effect based on the hold of the first main game symbol. Next, Step 1820, Step 1822, Step 1832 and Step 1834, which are changes from the subroutine processing in Step 1800 in the best mode, will be described. First, in step 1820, the hold prefetch information transmission control means 1310 refers to the hold prefetch random number information temporary storage means 1311a, and among the random number information related to the hold that has not been digested at the end of the “time reduction gaming state”. Then, it is determined whether or not information related to the second main game symbol exists. In the case of Yes in Step 1820, in Step 1822, the hold prefetch information transmission control means 1310 refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a and determines whether or not there is an undigested hold of the second main game symbol. judge. Here, if Yes in Step 1822, the processing of Step 1809 to Step 1811 is executed, but if No in Step 1822, the processing of Step 1809 to Step 1811 is not executed. The following processing is processing when a new second main game symbol is reserved at the end of the “time-saving gaming state”, but it is possible to achieve the purpose without executing the processing. Let me supplement. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1820, in step 1832, the hold prefetch information transmission control means 1310 refers to the hold prefetch random number information temporary storage means 1311a, and obtains the random number information related to the set second main game symbol. Send to sub-side. Next, in step 1834, the set random number information erasing unit 1311b deletes the random number information related to the second main game symbol transmitted to the sub side from the hold-read-ahead random number information temporary storage unit 1311a.

  By changing the above processing, while there is a hold related to the second main game symbol that has not been digested at the end of the time-saving game state, an effect based on the hold prefetch information related to the first main game symbol Does not occur. That is, after the time-reduced gaming state ends, when all the holdings relating to the second main gaming symbol are exhausted, an effect based on the holding prefetch information relating to the first main gaming symbol is immediately executed. In other words, the generation of effects based on the hold prefetch information relating to the first main game symbol is delayed for a certain period after the end of the time-saving game. Note that the content of the processing in step 1822 is not limited as long as the purpose is to secure a certain period after the end of the time-saving game. For example, the processing content of step 1822 may be “predetermined time?”, An arbitrary time measuring unit such as a timer may be provided, and the time measuring unit may determine whether or not a certain period of time has elapsed. The processing contents are set to “electric chew closed?”, The electric chew release timer is referred to, and in conjunction with the electric chew closing timing (that is, the determination process in step 1238 in FIG. 6 is set as the determination process in step 1809). An effect based on the hold prefetch information relating to the main game symbol may be executed.

  According to the modified example of the best mode, it is a multi-function machine and a priority digestion type pachinko gaming machine, which generates a hold pre-reading notice effect based on hold of each of the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol In such a case, in the time-reduced gaming state, the reservation pre-reading notice effect based on the hold related to the first main gaming symbol does not occur, and the second main gaming symbol that has not been digested at the end of the time-reducing gaming state. While such a hold exists, an effect based on the hold prefetch information relating to the first main game symbol is not generated. In other words, taking into account the period during which the completion of the time shortening gaming state termination process is delayed, such as when the auxiliary gaming symbol is changing at the end of the time shortening gaming state or when the electric chew is performing an opening operation. The hold pre-reading notice effect based on the hold related to the first main game symbol can be generated. Therefore, since it is possible to ensure that the time-reduced gaming state ending process has been completed at the time of occurrence of the hold prefetch notice effect based on the hold related to the first main game symbol, it is possible to enhance the fun of the game and reduce the process. This has the effect of not causing misunderstanding of the player.

  Next, another modified example of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described. In this best mode, when the first main game symbol or the second main game symbol is held in step 1350 (1) / step 1350 (2) in FIG. The set control means 1311 is configured to temporarily store in the pre-read random number information temporary storage means 1131a, but is not limited thereto. Hereinafter, a modification example in that case will be described.

  FIG. 28 is a flowchart of the hold prefetch processing for the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol according to the subroutine of step 1350 (1) / step 1350 (2) in another modification of the best mode. First, the purpose of this process is not to store the hold information based on the hold of the first main game symbol in the temporary storage means in the time-saving game state. That is, in the case of Yes in Steps 1354 (1) {Steps 1354 (2)} and 1356 (1) {Step 1356 (2)}, the hold-read-ahead random number information set control means 1311 performs the step 1352 (1) { Step 1352 (2)} is not executed.

  Next, FIG. 29 is a flowchart of the hold prefetch information transmission control process according to the subroutine of Step 1800 in another modification of the best mode. First, the purpose of this process is to transmit to the immediate sub-side when the hold prefetch information is temporarily stored in the hold prefetch random number information temporary storage means 1131a regardless of whether or not it is in the time-saving gaming state. At the end of the time-reduced gaming state, all random numbers stored in the hold information temporary storage means of the first main game symbol or the second main game symbol are temporarily stored in the hold prefetch random number information temporary storage means 1131a. At the same time, the temporarily stored information is transmitted to the immediate sub-side. Next, the changes from the subroutine processing of step 1800 in this best mode are (1) that step 1802, step 1804, step 1806, step 1807, step 1815 and step 1816 do not exist, and (2) step 1850 exists. Is. That is, when the pre-read information is temporarily stored in the pre-read random number information temporary storage means 1131a regardless of whether or not the game is in the time-saving gaming state due to the change in (1), the pre-read information is temporarily stored. Information is immediately sent to the sub-side. Then, due to the change in (2), at the end of the time-reduced game state, all random numbers stored in the hold information temporary storage means of the first main game symbol or the second main game symbol are temporarily stored. The data is temporarily stored in the storage unit 1134a.

  According to another modified example of the best mode, in addition to the above-described effect, it is configured not to execute the process of setting the information related to the first random number in the first random number related information temporary storage means in the specific gaming state. There is an effect that it is possible to reduce the processing burden on the main gaming portion side in the specific gaming state.

  Next, the second best mode of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention will be described. In this best mode, in step 1352 (1) / step 1352 (2) of FIG. 8, the hold prefetch information based on hold relating to the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol is stored in the hold prefetch information temporary storage means 1134a. It is set. That is, the hold pre-read information based on the hold related to the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol is configured to be stored once in the buffer when information is generated. However, when the hold prefetch information is a random value, the hold information relating to the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol may be transmitted directly to the sub-side. Hereinafter, the changes from the best mode in the second best mode will be described.

  First, FIG. 30 is a flowchart of the game content determination random number acquisition process according to the subroutine of step 1300 in the second best mode. First, the difference between this processing content and the subroutine processing of step 1300 in this best mode (see FIG. 8) is that the hold prefetching process {step 1350 (1) in FIG. 8} based on the hold related to the first main game symbol and There is only presence / absence of the hold prefetch process {step 1350 (2) in FIG. 8} based on hold related to the second main game symbol. That is, in the second best mode, the hold prefetching process based on the hold related to the first main game symbol is not executed when the ball enters the first main game start port (second main game start port).

  FIG. 31 is a flowchart of the hold prefetch information transmission control process according to the subroutine of step 1800 in the second best mode. First, the purpose of this process is that in the “time-reduced game state”, the pre-reading notice effect based on the hold of the first main game symbol is not generated, and the “time-reduced game state” is not yet completed. It is possible to generate a hold-ahead pre-notification effect based on the hold of the first main game symbol, and transmit the hold information related to the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol directly to the sub-side. First, in step 1802, the hold prefetch information transmission control means 1310 determines whether or not the time reduction flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193 is on. In the case of Yes in step 1802, in step 1804, the hold prefetch information transmission control means 1310 refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a and whether there is new hold information related to the second main game symbol. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1804, in step 1806, the hold prefetch information transmission control unit 1310 stores the hold random number value of the second main game symbol temporarily stored in step 1324 of FIG. 30 in the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage unit 1132a. And the read random number information is transmitted to the sub-side. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1802, in step 1808, the hold prefetch information transmission control means 1310 determines whether or not the short time end flag in the gaming state temporary storage means 1190 is on. In the case of Yes in step 1808, in step 1809, the hold prefetch information transmission control unit 1310 refers to the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage unit 1131a and the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage unit 1132a, Pre-read information (that is, all the random numbers that have not been digested at the end of the “time saving gaming state”) is transmitted to the sub-side. Then, in step 1811, the hold prefetch information transmission control means 1310 turns off the time-saving end flag in the game state temporary storage means 1190, and proceeds to the next process (main game symbol display process in step 1400). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1808, in step 1812, the hold prefetch information transmission control means 1310 refers to the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1131a and the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a. It is determined whether or not the hold information related to the first main game symbol or the second main game symbol has been updated. In the case of Yes in step 1812, in step 1813, the hold prefetch information transmission control means 1310 is updated by referring to the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1131a or the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a. The reserved random number value related to the first main game symbol or the second main game symbol is transmitted to the sub-side, and the process proceeds to the next process (main game symbol display process in step 1400). If No in step 1804, the process proceeds to step 1815. If No in steps 1816 and 1812, the process proceeds to the next process (main game symbol display process in step 1400).

  According to the second best mode, in the case of a multi-function machine and a priority digestion type pachinko gaming machine that generates a hold pre-reading notice effect based on the hold of the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol respectively In the time-reduced game state, the hold pre-reading notice effect based on the hold that is not digested at the end of the time-reduced game state is generated and the hold pre-reading notice effect based on the hold related to the first main game symbol is not generated. It is configured so that it can be generated. That is, even when there is a ball entering the first main game start port during the time-saving game state, by temporarily storing the hold pre-read information based on the ball entry, when the time-saving game state ends. Since it is possible to perform the performance retroactively from the temporarily stored reservation prefetch information, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

  Further, in addition to the above-described effects, the pre-read information based on the hold related to the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol is configured to be transmitted to the sub side without being stored in the buffer when the information is generated. There is an effect that the buffer capacity can be reduced in the control device.

  Next, a modified example of the pachinko gaming machine according to the second best mode will be described. In the second best mode, in step 1809 of FIG. 31, the hold prefetch information relating to the hold of the first main game symbol that has not been digested at the end of the time reduction game state is immediately after the end of the time reduction game state. Sent to the sub side. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the transmission timing of the hold prefetch information of the first main game symbol may be delayed. In that case, similarly to the modification in the best mode, Step 1820 and Step 1822 are provided after the processing of Step 1808, and the reference destination of the holding information in the processing contents is changed from the holding prefetch information temporary storage means 1134a to the first main information. What is necessary is just to change to the game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1131a and the 2nd main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a. Further, if the purpose is to secure a certain period after the end of the time-saving game, the processing content of step 1822 is not limited to the processing content of step 1822, and the processing change content of step 1822 is the same as the modification example in the best mode.

  According to the modified example of the second best mode, it is a multi-function machine and a priority digestion type pachinko gaming machine, which generates a hold-ahead pre-notification effect based on the hold of the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol respectively In the time-reduced gaming state, the pre-reading advance notice effect based on the suspension relating to the first main game symbol does not occur, and among the on-holds that have not been digested at the end of the time-reduced gaming state, While information related to the two main game symbols exists, an effect based on the hold prefetch information related to the first main game symbol is not generated. In other words, taking into account the period during which the completion of the time shortening gaming state termination process is delayed, such as when the auxiliary gaming symbol is changing at the end of the time shortening gaming state or when the electric chew is performing an opening operation. The hold pre-reading notice effect based on the hold related to the first main game symbol can be generated. Therefore, since it is possible to ensure that the time-reduced gaming state ending process has been completed at the time of occurrence of the hold prefetch notice effect based on the hold related to the first main game symbol, it is possible to enhance the fun of the game and reduce the process. This has the effect of not causing misunderstanding of the player.

  Further, in addition to the above-described effects, the pre-read information based on the hold related to the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol is configured to be transmitted to the sub side without being stored in the buffer when the information is generated. There is an effect that the buffer capacity can be reduced in the control device.
