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 predetermined 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 Type of game that will be released in the past}, the so-called “digipachi” model {conventional “first-class gaming machine” and “multi-function machine” {conventional “first-class gaming machine” functions , A game machine having the functions of a conventional “first-class game machine” and a conventional “second-class game machine”}}.

  By the way, there is a variable member attached to the special game transition lottery starting port as a member that is normally closed but is opened when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The determination as to whether the variable member can be opened or closed is executed separately from the special game transfer lottery. Specifically, when a game ball flows into a normal symbol start opening, a random number for variable member opening / closing lottery is acquired, and when the random number is won, the variable member is designed to open and close. Here, the opening time of the variable member varies depending on the gaming state related to the normal symbol described above. For example, a longer time variable member is released per unit period when the lottery is won in a game state called a time-saving game of normal symbols than when a variable member open / close lottery is won in normal times Is configured to do.

As described above, most current gaming machines are designed so that the opening time of the variable member per unit time varies depending on the gaming state (for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).

The “identification information” may be in any form as long as the type of information can be identified through the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.). For example, visual information includes shapes such as numbers, letters, designs, etc. The information is output through a certain item (for example, a special symbol managed by the main control device side, a normal symbol, or a decorative symbol related to a production game managed by the sub control device side). 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. “Winning” is a concept related to award ball payout. “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a random number in a narrow sense (for example, a hard- Random numbers and soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, the so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically “winning random numbers (random numbers for success / failure lottery)” related to the transition of special games, and opening / closing of variable members (electrical accessories) “Random number for open / close lottery”, “variation mode determination random number” for determining the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol, “symbol determination random number” for determining the stop symbol, specific game after special game (for example, probability variation game) ), A “hit symbol determination random number” or the like that determines whether or not to shift to (). 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). “Satisfying the identification information change start condition” means that the game is not in a special game and the identification information is not changing. The following best mode is a model in which two conventional type 1 pachinko machines are mixed (type 1 type 1 multifunction machine). However, as long as a variable member that assists in entering the starting port is provided, the first type type first type multifunction device according to the best mode is not limited to any other game machine {for example, a conventional first type It is within the scope of the present invention when it is applied to the first type or the third type}.

Random number acquisition determination execution means 1120 for acquiring each random number, a hold control means 1130 for temporarily storing a ball entering each start port during a variable display as a hold ball within the upper limit number, and a first described later A random determination means 1135 for determining whether or not the special game is successful and whether or not the second special figure start opening 2112 is open based on the main game side random number, the second main game side random number, and the auxiliary game side random number, and a first special symbol and Based on each random number, symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining means 1138 for determining whether or not the second special symbol variation start condition {not in special game, not in special symbol variation, etc.} is satisfied, and Each design Symbol content determining means 1140 for determining a stop symbol and a variation mode (variation time, etc.), a display control unit 1150 for performing control to display variation and stop of each symbol, and a second special diagram starting port 2110 (2) Special figure start opening 2111 Electric Chu opening / closing control means 1160 for performing various processes directly related to the opening / closing decision, and special game control means 1170 for controlling special games advantageous to the player over the normal game And a specific game control means for determining which game state the current game state is to be transferred to and the process of changing the game state based on the determination regarding the first main game, the second main game, and the auxiliary game 1180 and current and past game states [eg, state relating to main game {normal game state, specific game state (probability variation game state, time-reduced game state, limited frequency game letter ), Special gaming state}, states related to auxiliary games (easy release state, non-easy release state), stop symbol and variation mode information related to special symbols and normal symbols, on / off status of various flags, gaming state during special game (for example, Game state temporary storage means 1190 for temporarily storing the number of rounds and winning number information)] and the like. Hereinafter, each means will be described in detail.

  First, the entry determination means 1110 is directed to the first special figure start opening entrance determination means 1111 and the second special figure start opening 2110 for determining whether or not a game ball has entered the first special figure start opening 2210. 2nd special figure start opening entrance judging means 1112 for judging whether or not a game ball has entered, and a general figure start entrance entrance judging means for judging whether or not a game ball has flowed into the general start opening 2410 1113.

  Next, the random number acquisition determination execution means 1120 determines whether or not to acquire the first main game side random number based on the game ball entering the first special figure starting port 2210, and depending on the determination result, A first special figure random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 for acquiring random numbers (for example, a first winning random number, a first variation mode determining random number, a first special symbol determining random number, etc.) and a game ball to the second special figure starting port 2110 It is determined whether or not the second main game random number is acquired on the basis of the incoming ball, and the random number (for example, the second winning random number, the second variation mode determining random number, the second special symbol determining random number is determined according to the determination result) Etc.) and a special random number acquisition determination execution means 1123 for determining whether or not the auxiliary game side selected random number can be acquired and acquiring the random number based on the determination result. And have.

  Here, the “random number” in the claims and the present specification including the above is, for example, “0” to “65535” or “random number” assigned according to the type of random number (for example, a winning random number or a variation mode determining random number). It is a value randomly selected from a predetermined range such as “0” to “255”. The random number may not be a mathematically generated random number, but may be a pseudo random number generated by a hardware random number, a software random number, or the like. For example, the expression method of each value in the random number is a method in which the value is expressed in order along the random number sequence (plus one method), the next value when the final value of the random number sequence is expressed (initial value) ) With a contingent value (initial value update method), a combination of these, and the like.

  Next, the hold control unit 1130 determines whether or not to temporarily store the first main game side random number acquired in a situation where the first special symbol variation permission is not granted, and based on the determination result, the random number is determined as a symbol. The first special figure holding means 1131 for holding in the first special figure hold information temporary storage means 1131a until the change permission is given, and the second main game random number acquired in the situation where the second special symbol change permission is not given. The second special figure holding means 1132 for holding the random number in the second special figure holding information temporary storage means 1132a until the symbol variation permission is granted based on the determination result, It is determined whether or not to temporarily store the auxiliary game side random number acquired in a situation where the symbol variation permission is not granted, and based on the determination result, the random number is temporarily stored until the symbol variation permission is granted. It has a widely diagram holding means 1133 for holding, to 33a. Here, the first special figure holding means 1131, the second special figure holding means 1132 and the universal figure holding means 1133 are capable of storing up to four, and for temporarily storing the random numbers combined with the holding order. The first special figure hold information temporary storage means 1131a, the second special figure hold information temporary storage means 1132a, and the general figure hold information temporary storage means 1133a are provided.

  Next, the success / failure lottery means 1135 determines the transition to a special game when the result of the success / failure lottery is a big win or a small winner (for example, the special game execution permission flag is internally turned on). A means 1135a, a success / failure lottery table 1135b that is referred to when performing the success / failure lottery, an electric chew release availability determination means 1135c that determines whether or not to open the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112; There is an electric chew opening / rejection lottery table 1135d that is referred to when the special drawing start opening electric accessory 2112 is opened. In the following, the success / failure lottery table 1135b referred to in the special game success / failure lottery and the electric chew release success / failure lottery table 1135d referred to in the open lottery of the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 will be described in detail. .

First, the success / failure lottery table 1135b referred to at the time of the special game success / failure lottery, the first special figure success / failure lottery table 1135b-1 referred to when performing the success / failure lottery regarding the first special symbol, and the second And a second special figure success / failure lottery table 1135b-3 which is referred to when performing the success / failure lottery for special symbols. In the best mode, the jackpot and the jackpot are configured in the same table. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the jackpot and the jackpot may be determined using different tables. Here, Table 1 is an example of the success / failure lottery table 1135b. As can be seen from this table, the big hit probability is the same for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, but the small hit probability is set higher for the second special symbol than for the first special symbol. Note that the probability of jackpot and jackpot in the following is just an example.

Next, Table 2 shows an example of an electric chew opening / rejection lottery table 1135d referred to in the opening lottery of the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112. Here, as can be seen from the table, in this best mode, predetermined success / failure determination parameters {in this example, the on / off information of the special figure probability variable flag, the on / off information of the limited frequency A to C flag, the previous special game Number of balls entered in the grand prize opening, timing of game ball entry in the X round (eg, first round) at the time of the previous special game (eg, detection timing of the first ball in the round), previous special game The random number value to be won is different depending on the time winning prize opening, the number of consecutive wins, the number of special figure fluctuations from the previous win, the elapsed time since the previous win, etc.}. Although not shown in the table, the winning random number value and the lost random value are assigned in correspondence with all the assumed patterns of the success / failure determination parameters. For example, in the case of the fifth column from the bottom of Table 2, that is, the first success / failure determination parameter (special figure probability variation flag) = “off”, the second success / failure determination parameter (limited frequency A flag) = “off”, the third Parameter for determining success / failure (limited frequency B flag) = “off”, fourth parameter for determining success / failure (limited frequency C flag) = “on”, parameter for determining the fifth success / failure (entering a big winning opening in the last special game) Number of balls) = “150 balls or more”, sixth winning / deciding parameter (entry timing in round X at the time of the previous special game) = “1 second or less”, seventh winning / deciding parameter (previous special game) Grand Prize Winner at Time) = "Second Grand Prize Winner", 8th parameter for determining success / failure (number of consecutive wins) = "5 times or more", 9th parameter for determining success / failure (number of changes in special figure from previous win) = "1000 times or more", 10th In the case of deciding parameter (elapsed time from previous hit) = “5 hours or more”,..., “Winning” when the winning random number value of the auxiliary game side random number is 0 to 254, “ It will be “losing”. Note that a higher winning probability is advantageous because the opening time of the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 per unit period (for example, one hour) becomes longer.

  Next, the symbol content determining means 1140, based on the acquired first main game side random number (particularly, the special symbol determining random number and the variation mode determining random number), the stop symbol and variation mode (variation time etc.) of the first special symbol ) And the second special game stop random number and variation mode based on the acquired second main game side random number (particularly, the special symbol determination random number and the variation mode determination random number). Based on the second special figure content determining means 1142 for determining (variation time etc.) and the acquired auxiliary game side random numbers (particularly, the normal symbol determining random number and the variation mode determining random number) Figure content determination means 1143. Hereinafter, each means will be described in detail.

  First, the first special symbol content determining unit 1141 (second special symbol content determining unit 1142) refers to the first special symbol that is referred to when determining the stop symbol and the variation mode related to the first special symbol (second special symbol). The figure content determination lottery table 1141a (second special figure content determination lottery table 1142a) is provided. The first special symbol content determination lottery table 1141a (second special symbol content determination lottery table 1142a) is referred to when determining the stop symbol of the first special symbol (second special symbol). Refer to the figure stop symbol determination lottery table 1141a-1 (second special symbol stop symbol determination lottery table 1142a-1) and when determining the variation mode (variation time) of the first special symbol (second special symbol). And a first special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1141a-2 (second special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1142a-2). These are described in detail below.

First, Table 3 shows an example of the first special figure stop symbol determination lottery table 1141a-1 and the second special figure stop symbol determination lottery table 1142a-1. As can be seen from the example below, in this best mode, there are a plurality of jackpot symbols. As will be described later, the profit state at the time of the special game and the game state after the special game are determined based on the type of the symbol, the game state, and the like (this will be described later).

Next, Table 4 shows an example of the first special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1141a-2 and the second special figure variation mode determination lottery table 1142a-2. In the best mode, both tables have the same configuration, and are summarized. As can be seen from the table, first, in the case of a lost game in a short-time game, a relatively short variation time is selected as compared with other lost tables. Furthermore, a different variation mode may be selected according to the number of reserved balls (for example, when there are three or four reserves at the time of holding digestion, a short variation time is selected. May be configured). However, even in this case, in order to be able to execute the scheduled performance regardless of the random number value, it is configured that only one variation time pattern is selected regardless of the number of reserved balls in the limited frequency state. Is preferred.

  Next, the general symbol content determination means 1143 has a general symbol content determination lottery table 1143a that is referred to when determining a stop symbol related to a normal symbol. Furthermore, the general symbol content determination lottery table 1143a determines the normal symbol stop symbol determination reference table 1143a-1 that is referred to when determining the normal symbol stop symbol, and the normal symbol variation mode (variation mode). And a drawing change mode determination lottery table 1143a-2 referred to at the time. Hereinafter, each table will be described with reference to the table.

First, Table 5 shows an example of a general-purpose stop symbol determination reference table 1143a-1. As can be seen from this table, in this best mode, when winning is determined based on the auxiliary game side random number (winning random number), a predetermined winning symbol “7” is assigned, while when a loss is determined. Is configured to be assigned a predetermined lose symbol “-”.

Next, Table 6 shows an example of the reference variation mode determination reference table 1143a-2. Here, as can be seen from the table, in this best mode, parameters for determining a predetermined variation mode (variation time) {in this example, on / off information of the special figure probability variation flag, on / off information of the limited frequency A to C flag, The number of balls entered in the special winning opening at the time of the special game, the timing of the game ball at the X round (for example, the first round) at the time of the previous special game (for example, the detection timing of the first ball at the round) , Multiple winning times (changing time X, changing time Y) by the big prize opening at the last special game, the number of consecutive wins, the number of special figure changes from the previous hit, the elapsed time since the last hit ... ) Is differently distributed. Although omitted in the table, each distribution frequency (selection probability of each variation time) of a plurality of variation times corresponds to all the assumed patterns of variation mode (variation time) determination parameters. Assigned. For example, in the case of the fifth column from the bottom of Table 6, that is, the first variation mode determination parameter (special figure certain variation flag) = “off”, the second variation mode determination parameter (limited frequency A flag) = “off”, The third variation mode determination parameter (limited frequency B flag) = “off”, the fourth variation mode determination parameter (limited frequency C flag) = “on”, and the fifth variation mode determination parameter (at the time of the last special game) Number of entries in the big prize opening) = “150 balls or more”, sixth variation mode determination parameter (entry timing in the X round at the time of the last special game) = “1 second or less”, seventh variation mode determination Parameter (big winning award at the last special game) = “third big winning mouth”, eighth variation mode determining parameter (number of consecutive hits) = “5 times or more”, ninth variation mode determining parameter (previous Special map change from the hit Number of times) = “1000 times or more”, 10th variation mode determination parameter (elapsed time since the previous hit) = “5 hours or more”,... When it is 0 to 250, it is “variation time X”, and when it is 251 to 255, it is “variation time Y”. Note that it is advantageous that the fluctuation time is short because the opening time of the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 per unit period (for example, one hour) becomes long.

  Next, the display control unit 1150 performs first control on the first special symbol display unit 2131 of the first special symbol display device 2130 to stop and display after changing the first special symbol for a predetermined time. 1151, second special symbol control means 1152 for controlling to stop display after changing the second special symbol for a predetermined time on the second special symbol display unit 2231 of the second special symbol display device 2230, and normal symbol display There is a universal symbol control means 1154 for performing a control to stop and display after changing the normal symbol for a predetermined time on the universal symbol display unit 2421 of the device 2420.

  Here, the first special figure control means 1151 further includes a first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a for managing the fluctuation time according to the fluctuation mode determined by the first special figure content determination means 1141. Yes. The first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a further includes a first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (decrement counter) that can be cleared to zero. Next, the second special figure control means 1152 further comprises second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a for managing the fluctuation time according to the fluctuation mode determined by the second special figure content determination means 1142. Yes. The second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a further includes a second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1 (decrement counter) that can be cleared to zero. Further, the universal symbol control means 1154 has an ordinary symbol fluctuation time management means 1154a for managing the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol on the ordinary symbol display unit 2421 of the ordinary symbol display device 2420. Further, the common figure change time management means 1154a further includes a normal figure change management timer 1154a-1 capable of measuring time.

  Next, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 determines whether or not the conditions for performing the process of opening and closing the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 of the second special figure start opening 2110 are satisfied. Condition determining means 1161, electric chew opening time determination lottery table 1163 that is referred to when determining the opening time of the second special figure start port electric accessory 2112, and the second special view of the second special figure start port 2110 And an electric chew opening time management timer 1162 for managing the opening time of the start opening electric accessory 2112.

Here, Table 7 shows an example of the electric chew release time determination lottery table 1163. As can be seen from the table, in this best mode, a predetermined opening time determination parameter {in this example, on / off information of the special figure probability variation flag, on / off information of the limited frequency A to C flag, and a big prize at the last special game. The number of entrances to the mouth, the entrance timing of the game ball in the X round (for example, the first round) in the previous special game (for example, the detection timing of the first entrance in the round), the previous special game The distribution frequency of multiple opening times (opening time α, opening time β) varies depending on the big prize opening, the number of consecutive wins, the number of special figure changes from the previous win, the elapsed time since the previous win ... It is configured as follows. Although omitted in the table, each distribution frequency (selection probability of each opening time) of a plurality of opening times is assigned in correspondence with all the assumed patterns of the opening time determination parameters. . For example, in the case of the fifth column from the bottom of Table 7, that is, the first opening time determining parameter (special figure probability variable flag) = “off”, the second opening time determining parameter (limited frequency A flag) = “off”, 3rd opening time determination parameter (limited frequency B flag) = “off”, 4th opening time determination parameter (limited frequency C flag) = “on”, 5th opening time determination parameter (at the time of the last special game) Number of balls entered in the big prize opening) = “150 balls or more”, parameters for determining the sixth opening time (timing timing in the X round at the last special game) = “1 second or less”, determining the seventh opening time Parameters (the big winning opening at the time of the last special game) = “second big winning mouth”, the eighth opening time determining parameter (number of consecutive times) = “5 times or more”, the ninth opening time determining parameter (previous Special map change from the hit Number of times) = “1000 times or more”, 10th opening time determination parameter (elapsed time from the previous hit) = “5 hours or more”,..., The opening time determination random number value of the auxiliary game side random number is When it is 0 to 200, it is “opening time α”, and when it is 201 to 255, it is “opening time β”. Note that a longer opening time is advantageous because the opening time of the second special figure starter electric accessory 2112 per unit period (for example, 1 hour) becomes longer. In this best mode, a plurality of opening times are provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an opening pattern (for example, a pattern that keeps opening and a pattern that opens and closes) may be combined with this opening time.

  Next, the special game control means 1170 determines whether or not the condition for shifting to the special game (bonus) is satisfied. Specifically, the special game (bonus) execution permission flag is won. If the condition determination means 1171 for determining whether or not has occurred and the special game transition condition is satisfied, the content of the special game (specifically, the big winning opening to be opened, the number of rounds, Special game content determining means 1172 for setting the time between rounds etc.) in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and the special game in which the first big prize opening 2120 or the second big prize opening 2220 is opened under a predetermined condition. Special game execution means 1173 for executing (big win) and time management of various processes related to the special game (for example, opening / closing time of the first big prize opening 2120 and the second big prize opening 2220) And a special game time management means 1174 of Utame. Here, the special game time management means 1174 further includes a round execution timer 1174a for managing the round time. The special game content determination unit 1172 further includes a special game content reference table 1172a that is referred to when specifying the content of the special game to be set in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194.

Here, Table 8 is an example of a special symbol content reference table. As can be seen from this table, the winning symbols “7A and 7B” are high-profit special games that can win many balls. On the other hand, “1A, 1B, 3A, 3B, 2A, 2B, 4A, 4B” is a low-profit special game that hardly obtains a ball. Also, in the case of the winning symbol “7A, 7B” and the winning symbol “1A, 1B, 3A, 3B”, the opening time is different (the former is 30 seconds, the latter is 0.5 seconds), but it is kept open during the round. Common in that the game is executed. On the other hand, in the case of the winning symbol “2A, 2B, 4A, 4B”, a special game of an open pattern that opens and closes during one round is executed. As described above, when the hit symbol “1A, 1B, 3A, 3B” and the hit symbol “2A, 2B, 4A, 4B” are compared, the opening / closing time (0. (5 seconds) is the same point and the number of times of opening and closing is the same (the former is one opening and closing per round twice, two rounds, the latter is two opening and closing per round twice a round), so it looks Will have a special game with exactly the same opening time and opening pattern.

  Next, the specific game control means 1180 includes a specific game availability / content determination means 1183 that determines the content of the specific game, and a specific game end condition determination means 1181 that determines whether or not the specific game state end condition is satisfied. And have. Here, the specific game availability / content determination means 1183 relates to a special game specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183a which is referred to when determining whether or not to shift to a specific game related to a special game, and the normal game. It further includes a general-specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183b which is referred to when determining whether or not the specific game can be transferred and its contents. These will be described in detail below.

First, Table 9 shows an example of a special figure specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183a (particularly, a game state determination reference table). Here, before explaining the contents of Table 9, each gaming state in the best mode is organized. First, the “special figure probability variable game state” in the best mode refers to a state (the special figure probability variable flag is on) that has a higher probability of winning the transition to the special game than the “special figure normal game state”. Further, the “special-time short game state” refers to a state in which the variation time of the special symbol is relatively shorter than the “special-game normal game state” (the special-time short-time flag is on). It should be noted that, in the situation of the special drawing short game state, in the best mode, the “normal drawing short flag” is also turned on. The “special drawing limitation frequency state” is a table that is originally referred to when the special symbol probability variation flag and / or the special symbol time reduction flag are in a predetermined state when determining the variation pattern of the special symbol a limited number of times. Refers to a state in which a different special table is referenced. For example, taking the table in Table 3 as an example, in the special figure probability variation game without time reduction (special figure probability variable flag on, special figure short time flag off), the two tables at the top of Table 3 are usually referred to. . However, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the special figure probability changing state in the limited frequency state is entered even when the special figure probability variation game without a short time with the predetermined number of times as an upper limit (third stage in Table 3).

Next, Table 10 is an example of a special figure specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183a (especially a reference table for number determination) that is referred to when determining the number of game states when the game state is switched. Is shown. As can be seen from Table 10, in the case of special figure probability variation games, unless the winning lottery for each special figure variation is won, there is no limit on the number of times that the game can continue until the next jackpot (short time) (In the case of the date, the next jackpot is also about short-time games). On the other hand, in the case of a regular game with a shortened time and a special figure limited frequency game, the game is configured to continue a predetermined number of times. Here, the limited frequency is composed of a total of 20 times of limited frequency A (5 times) → limited frequency B (10 times) → limited frequency C (5 times) (changes in this order). In this way, the main game side identification information (in this example, a special symbol) is linked to the winning symbol, and is referred to as the number of changes in the main game side identification information (in this example, the special symbol) after that hit. It is preferable that the table is continuously changed to a plurality of limited frequency states. With this configuration, it is possible to vary the opening time of the variable member per unit period with the transition of the limited frequency state, and it is possible to enhance the fun of the game.

Next, the specific game end condition determining means 1181 acquires the falling lottery random number for each special symbol change, and then determines whether or not to end the special figure probability variable game based on the random number. 1181a, a special figure short time counter 1181b capable of counting the special figure short frequency, and a special figure limited frequency counter 1181c capable of counting the special figure limited frequency. Here, the special figure probability changing game end lottery means 1181a further includes a falling lottery table 1181a-1 which is referred to when determining whether or not to end the special figure probability variable game. Here, Table 11 is an example of the falling lottery table 1181a-1.

  Next, the game related information temporary storage means 1190 is a main game related information temporary storage means 1191 for temporarily storing information related to the main game such as control related to special symbols and control related to special games. And auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1192 for temporarily storing information related to auxiliary games such as control related to symbols and control related to the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112.

  Here, the main game related information temporary storage means 1191 is a first special figure / second special figure related information temporary storage means 1191a for temporarily storing information related to display control of the first special symbol and the second special symbol, Main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b for temporarily storing information related to the game state of the main game side, and special game related information temporary storage means 1191c for temporarily storing information related to processing of special games ing.

  Further, the auxiliary technique related information temporary storage means 1192 is an ordinary figure related information temporary storage means 1192a for temporarily storing information related to display control of normal symbols, and an auxiliary for temporarily storing information related to the game state on the auxiliary game side. The game side game state temporary storage means 1192b and auxiliary game content determination information temporary storage means 1192c for temporarily storing information necessary for determining the auxiliary game content are provided. Here, for example, the following information is temporarily stored in the auxiliary game content determination information temporary storage unit 1192c. First, in the present best mode, as shown in Table 6 and the like, as information necessary for determining the contents of the auxiliary game, a special figure probability variable flag, a special figure limitation frequency A to which is the game state of the main game side, There is ON / OFF information of the C flag. The game state on the main game side is temporarily stored in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b, but for convenience, it is also temporarily stored in the auxiliary game content determination information temporary storage means 1192c (however, the auxiliary game content). The main game side temporary storage state storage unit 1191b may be referred to without temporarily storing the determination information temporary storage unit 1192c. When the game state on the main game side is updated in the main game state temporary storage unit 1191b, the information in the auxiliary game content determination information temporary storage unit 1192c is immediately rewritten. Furthermore, information on the number of balls received at the special winning opening at the time of the previous special game is also temporarily stored. Each time a special game is executed, the number of balls entered in the special winning opening during the special game period is counted, and the final number of balls entered is written in the temporary storage means. In addition, the timing information for entering the winning ball in the Xth (for example, 1st) round at the time of the last special game is also temporarily stored. Each time a special game is executed, a timer is started in the Xth (for example, 1st) round of the special game, and the timing at which the game ball first enters is detected, and then the ball timing detection information (detection time) ) Is written to the temporary storage means. Similarly, the big winning opening opened at the previous special game is also written in the temporary storage means. In addition, if it is a win within a predetermined period, the number of consecutive wins per win (in this example, the first hit + the total hit during the special figure probability fluctuation and the special time reduction game triggered by the hit) And the per-continuation information is written to the temporary storage means. Further, every time the special symbol fluctuates, the number of fluctuations (special number of times) of the special symbol after the winning is counted, and the fluctuation number information is written in the temporary storage means. Similarly, a timer is started after the winning end, and the elapsed time information after the winning end is written in the temporary storage means.

First, in step 1400 (1), main controller 1000 executes a first special symbol display process which will be described later. Next, in step 1400 (2), main controller 1000 executes a second special symbol display process described later. In step 1500, main controller 1000 executes a special game operation condition determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next step (special game control process 16).

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the first special symbol display process and the second special symbol display process according to the subroutine of steps 1400 (1) and (2) in FIG. Since this process is common to the first special symbol side and the second special symbol side, the first special symbol side will be mainly described, unless otherwise specified, and the second special symbol side will be written in parentheses. Describe. First, in step 1800, main controller 1000 executes variation start condition satisfaction determination processing described later. Next, in step 1402, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) determines whether or not the variation start permission flag relating to the first special symbol (second special symbol) is on. Determine. The “variation start permission flag” is a flag that is turned on in a variation start condition satisfaction determination process, which will be described later, and that is turned on under the condition that a special game or a special symbol is not changing. In the case of Yes in step 1402, in step 1403, the first special figure content determination means 1141 (second special figure content determination means 1142) accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage means 1190, and the first special symbol (first 2) The variation start permission flag relating to 2 special symbols) is turned off.

  Next, in steps 1405 to 1411, a special lottery game of falling probability is executed. Specifically, first, in step 1405, the special figure probability variable game end lottery means 1181a refers to the main game related information temporary storage means 1191, and determines whether or not the special figure probability variable flag is off. Here, in the case of Yes in step 1405, the process proceeds to the special figure changing process after step 1404. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1405, in step 1407, the special figure probability variable game end lottery means 1181a obtains a random number for fall (or is obtained in advance when entering the special figure start entrance ball) and then falls. Referring to 1181a-1, a lottery for special figure probability change game is executed. In the case of Yes in step 1407, in step 1409, the special figure probability variable game end lottery means 1181a determines whether or not the special figure probability variable game has fallen. In the case of Yes in step 1409, in step 1411, the special figure probability variable game end lottery means 1181a accesses the flag area of the main game related information temporary storage means 1191 and turns on the special figure probability variable fall flag. When the special figure probability change flag is turned on, the special figure probability variable flag is turned off after the end of the special symbol change (see FIG. 13). With the above, the special figure certain change falling lottery process is completed.

  Next, in step 1404, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) stores the first special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1131a (second special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1132a). The first main game side random number (second main game side random number) related to the current symbol variation that is temporarily stored is read. Next, in step 1406, the winning / not-lotting means 1135 uses the first main game random number (first winning random number) {second main gaming random number (second winning random number)} and the game state for the first special figure. With reference to the success / failure lottery table 1135b-1 (second special figure success / failure lottery table 1135b-3), a special symbol success / failure (big hit, small hit) lottery is executed. In the best mode, the big win and the small win lottery are executed using the same lottery table. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when determining whether or not the lottery is a lottery, the jackpot lottery is executed with reference to the jackpot lottery table first, and if the lottery is shifted to the jackpot lottery, the lottery lottery is executed with reference to the lottery lottery table. Good. Further, the lottery lottery may be executed with reference to the lottery lottery table first, and the lottery lottery may be executed even when the lottery is lost or hit. In step 1408, the special game transition determining unit 1135a determines whether or not the lottery result is a win. In the case of Yes in step 1408, in step 1410, the special game transition determining means 1135a turns on the winning flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). On the other hand, if step 1408 is No, step 1410 is skipped.

  In step 1412, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) in the first special figure content determination lottery table 1141 a (second special figure content determination lottery table 1142 a). Referring to each lottery table, the first main game random number (for example, first special symbol determination random number, first variation mode determination random number) {second main game side random number (for example, second special symbol determination random number, second variation) The stop symbol and the variation mode regarding the first special symbol (second special symbol) are determined based on the mode determination random number)}, and these are determined as the first special symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b (second special graphic information temporary storage unit 1192b). Temporarily store. The table to be referred to is determined based on the result of the success / failure and the gaming state (probability variation gaming state and limited frequency gaming state) (and so on). Next, in step 1414, the information transmitting means 1300 performs effect control on the symbol information (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) related to the first special symbol (second special symbol) determined in step 1412. It transmits to the means 2320 side. Next, in step 1416, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) sets the predetermined time {the fluctuation time according to the fluctuation mode determined in step 1412} to the first special figure. It is set to the fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1). Then, in step 1418, the first special symbol control means 1151 (second special symbol control means 1152) makes the first special symbol display unit 2131 (second special symbol display device 2230 second of the second special symbol display device 2230) of the first special symbol display device 2130. On the special figure display unit 2231), the special symbol fluctuation display is started according to the fluctuation mode stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b). Next, in step 1420, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) turns on the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a).

  In step 1422, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) determines whether or not a predetermined time has been reached. Here, in the case of No in step 1422, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500). On the other hand, if Yes in step 1422, in step 1424, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a command indicating that the predetermined time has been reached to the effect control unit 2320 side. Next, in step 1426, the first special symbol control unit 1151 (second special symbol control unit 1152) causes the first special symbol display unit 2131 of the first special symbol display device 2130 (the second special symbol display device 2230 of the first special symbol display unit 2230). 2 special figure display section 2231), the special symbol variation display is stopped, and the stop symbol stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b) is confirmed and stopped. Display control as.

  Next, in step 1438, the game control means 1100 refers to the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a) and determines whether or not the winning flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1438, in step 1440, the game control unit 1100 turns off the winning flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a). Next, in step 1446, the game control means 1100 turns on the special game execution permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and proceeds to step 1428. In the case of No in step 1438, the process proceeds to step 1428.

  Next, in step 1428, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) is in step 1428, and the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) is the first flag. The changing flag in the temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a) is turned off. Then, in step 1430, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) performs the first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-). 1) is reset. Next, at step 1432, the game control means 1100 adds 1 to the counter value of the variation counter 1195 a. In the best mode, the variation counter 1195a is configured to be cleared when the winning is completed (step 1678 in FIG. 14). Next, in step 1450, main controller 1000 executes a specific game end determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500).

  In the case of No in step 1402, in step 1432 the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) sets 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 1432, the process proceeds to step 1422, and if No, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500).

  Next, FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the variation start condition satisfaction determination process related to the first special symbol and the second special symbol according to the subroutine of steps 1800 (1) and (2) in FIG. First, in step 1802, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining means 1138 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, respectively, and determines whether or not the special game is being played. In the case of Yes in step 1802, in step 1804, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 accesses the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190 and determines whether or not the first special symbol and the second special symbol are currently changing. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1804, in step 1808, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 determines whether or not there is a preferential digest side hold, that is, a second special symbol side hold in this example. In the case of Yes in Step 1808, in Step 1810, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination means 1138 accesses the special digest information temporary storage means (second special graphic information temporary storage means 1192b), and the priority digest side temporary storage means 1192b. The variation start permission flag related to the second special symbol is turned on, and the process proceeds to the next process (step 1402). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1808 (when there is no hold on the priority digest side), in step 1812, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination unit 1138 determines whether there is a hold on the non-prior digestion side. . In the case of Yes in step 1812, in step 1814, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining unit 1138 turns on the variation permission flag relating to the first special symbol on the non-priority digest side, and proceeds to the next processing (step 1402). Note that the process proceeds to the next process (step 1402) also in the case of No in step 1802 or step 1804.

  Next, FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination process according to the subroutine of steps 1450 (1) and (2) in FIG. First, in step 1451, the specific game control unit 1180 refers to the flag area of the game state temporary storage unit 1190 and determines whether or not the special figure probability changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1451, in step 1452, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the special figure short-time counter 1181a to determine whether or not the special figure short-time counter value is greater than 0, that is, a non-probability short-time game. It is determined whether it is in the middle. In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1454, the specific game control means 1180 subtracts 1 from the short time counter value of the special figure short time counter 1181a. Next, at step 1456, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the special figure short time counter 1181a to determine whether or not the special figure short time counter is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1456, in step 1457, the specific game control unit 1180 turns off the special figure time reduction flag in the game state temporary storage unit 1190. In step 1459, the game control means 1100 clears the counter value of the winning continuous counter. Thus, in this best mode, when the counter value of the winning continuous counter configured to count up with the probability variation jackpot as the trigger, the short game at the time of non-probability variation ends (and when the probability variation falling lottery described later is won) It is configured to be cleared. This completes the end processing of the short-time game (the special symbol time-short game and the normal symbol time-short game linked with this special game time-short game).

  Here, in the case of No in step 1451, that is, in the case of a special figure probability variation game, in step 1472, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the flag area of the game state temporary storage means 1190, and the special figure probability change falls. It is determined whether or not the flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1472, in step 1474 and step 1476, the specific game control unit 1180 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage unit 1190, turns off the special figure probability change flag and the special figure probability change flag, and step 1457. Migrate to With the above, the special figure certain variation falling lottery process is completed when the special figure certain variation falling lottery is won.

  Next, in step 1460, the specific game control unit 1180 refers to the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage unit 1182 and determines whether or not the special figure limitation frequency flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1460, in step 1462, the specific game control means 1180 decrements the counter value of the special figure limited frequency counter 1181b by 1. Next, in step 1464, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the special figure limited frequency counter 1181b and determines whether or not the counter value is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1464, in step 1466, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the special figure limitation frequency flag in the game state temporary storage means 1190. The special symbol limited frequency game ending process is thus completed.

  Then, after the main game-related game state transition-related processing is completed as described above, in step 1478, the game control means 1100 updates the main game-related game state information in the auxiliary game content determination information temporary storage means 1192c. Then, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500).

  In the case of No in step 1452, step 1456, and step 1472, the process proceeds to step 1460, and in the case of No in step 1460 and step 1464, the process proceeds to step 1478.

  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 special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and determines whether or not the special game execution permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the condition determination unit 1171 turns off the special game execution permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Next, in step 1506, the special game content determination unit 1172 sets the content of the special game in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 by referring to the special game content reference table 1172a based on various parameters. In step 1507, the specific game control means 1180 uses the information related to past winning symbols and game status temporarily stored in the game related information temporary storage means 1190 (game content determination information storage area) as the current winning symbol. And information on the current gaming state. This game state information is used when determining the game state after the end of the special game. This completes the special game content setting process.

  Next, in step 1508, the specific game end condition determining unit 1181 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and determines whether or not the current hit is not a small hit. In the case of Yes in step 1508, in step 1510, the specific game end condition determining means 1181 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage means 1190, and determines whether or not the special figure probability changing flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1510, in step 1512, the specific game end condition determining means 1181 turns off the special figure probability changing flag in the flag area of the game state temporary storage means 1190.

  Next, in step 1516, the specific game end condition determining unit 1181 accesses the flag area of the gaming state temporary storage unit 1190, and determines whether or not the special figure time reduction flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1516, in step 1518, the specific game end condition determination means 1181 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage means 1190 and turns off the special figure time reduction flag. In step 1520, the specific game end condition determining unit 1181 clears the special figure time reduction counter 1181b to set the time reduction number to 0, and proceeds to step 1522. Thus, the time-short state once-ending process is completed. In the case of No in step 1516, the process proceeds to step 1522.

  Next, in step 1522, the specific game end condition determining unit 1181 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage unit 1190 and determines whether or not the special figure limitation frequency flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1522, in step 1524, the specific game end condition determination unit 1181 accesses the flag area of the game state temporary storage unit 1190 and turns off the special figure limitation frequency flag. In step 1526, the specific game end condition determining unit 1181 clears the special figure limitation frequency counter 1181b and sets the limitation frequency to 0. Thus, the end process of the limited frequency state (special drawing limited frequency) is ended. In the case of No in step 1522, the process proceeds to step 1528.

  After finishing the above processing, in step 1528, the condition determination means 1171 turns on the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and proceeds to the next processing (special game control processing in step 1600). Transition. Even in the case of No in step 1502, 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 1300 transmits a special game start signal to the effect 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 5000).

  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 1626 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, when it is just before the start of the round, first, in step 1614, the special game control means 1170 stores the release pattern (temporarily stored in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 ( For example, an open pattern that keeps opening and a pattern that opens and closes are set. 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 execution unit 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 and confirms which of the first grand prize winning port 2120 or the second grand prize winning port 2220 is to be opened. The first grand prize port 2120 or the second grand prize port 2220 is driven by driving the first grand prize port electric role 2122 or the second big prize port electric role 2222, and the first big prize port 2120 or the second grand prize port. 2220 is released and the process proceeds to step 1626.

  Next, in step 1626, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 to determine whether or not there are predetermined balls (for example, 10 balls) 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 round execution timer 1174a (particularly, the opening time timer). Also in the case of Yes in step 1628, the process proceeds to step 1630, and in the case of No, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000).

  Next, in step 1630, the special game executing means 1173 drives the first big prize opening electric member 2122 or the second big prize opening electric member 2222 of the first big prize port 2120 or the second big prize port 2220. It stops and closes the 1st grand prize opening 2120 or the 2nd big prize opening 2220. In step 1632, the special game execution means 1173 resets the round execution timer 1174a. 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 the final round (for example, 15 rounds if the big win, 1 round if the big win) It is determined whether or not. 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 control means 2320 side. In step 1678, the game control unit 1100 clears the counter value of the variation counter 1195a of the game content determination information temporary storage unit 1195. In step 1680, the game control unit 1100 adds 1 to the counter value of the winning consecutive number counter 1195b in the game content determination information temporary storage unit 1195. Next, in step 1682, the game control means 1100 receives information related to special games in the auxiliary game content determination information temporary storage means 1192c (for example, timing information when the first ball of the first round entered, special game input). Update the total number of balls). In step 1684, the game control means 1100 clears and starts the timer of the auxiliary game content determination information temporary storage means 1192c (timer for measuring the elapsed time after the end of the special game). In step 9000, the game control means 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 5000). Even in the case of No in step 1636, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000).

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the game state determination processing after the special game according to the subroutine of Step 9000 in FIG. In step 9002, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the game related information temporary storage means 1190 (game content determination information temporary storage area) and acquires the symbol information and game state information that triggered this time. The special figure game state is determined with reference to the special figure specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183a, the determined special figure game state is set in the game state temporary storage means 1190, and the next process (in step 5000) is performed. Shift to prize ball payout processing).

  Next, the flow of processing on the sub-board side of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of step 6400 in FIG. Here, since step 6100 (1) related to the first decorative design and step 6100 (2) related to the second decorative design are common, both will be described together. First, in step 6102, the drawing display content determination unit 2322 a-1 refers to the main-side information temporary storage unit 2321 a and determines whether new symbol information has been received from the main control board 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6102, in step 6104, the drawing display content determination means 2322 a-1 is based on the symbol information received in step 6102 and the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2322 a-1-1 and stop symbol determination. With reference to the lottery table 2322a-1-2, the decoration pattern variation mode and the stop symbol are determined. In step 6106, the drawing display content determination unit 2322a-1 accesses the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c, turns on the symbol content determination flag, and performs the next process {step 6200 (1). The process proceeds to the first decorative symbol display control process}.

  Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of steps 6200 (1) and (2) in FIG. Here, since step 6200 (1) related to the first decorative design and step 6200 (2) related to the second decorative design are common, both will be described together. First, in step 6202, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and determines whether or not the symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 6202, in step 6204, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322a and determines whether or not the symbol content determination flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 6204, in step 6206 and step 6208, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a turns on the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and sets the symbol content determination flag. Turn off. Next, in step 6210, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a follows the determined contents temporarily stored in the symbol related information area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c on the drawing display unit 2311 of the effect display device 2310. Starts variable display of decorative symbols.

  In step 6212, the decorative symbol display control unit 2322 a refers to the main-side information temporary storage unit 2121 a and determines whether or not a fixed display command has been received from the main control device 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6212, in step 6214, the decoration symbol display control means 2322a follows the determination contents (stop symbols) temporarily stored in the symbol related information area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. The stop symbol of the decorative symbol is fixedly displayed on the display unit 2311. In step 6216, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a turns off the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and proceeds to the next process (special game display control process in step 6300). Transition.

  If NO in step 6202, the process proceeds to step 6212. If NO in step 6204 and step 6212, the process proceeds to the next process (special game display control process in step 6300).

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the special game (during jackpot) display control process according to the subroutine of step 6300 in FIG. First, in step 6302, the display control means 2322 refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and determines whether or not the special gaming flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 6302, in step 6304, the display control unit 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 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 display control means 2322 turns on the special game flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c and makes a big hit on the effect display device 2310. Start display. In step 6310, the display control means 2322 sequentially displays the number of rounds and the number of winnings on the effect display device 2310 based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main control device 1000 side in step 1624. Next, in step 6312, the display control means 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2121a 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 display control unit 2322 performs jackpot end display on the effect display device 2310. In step 6316, the display control means 2322 turns off the special gaming flag in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and proceeds to the next process (hold information management / hold display control process in step 7100). Transition.

  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 / holding display control process in step 7100).

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described. Hereinafter, while comparing the conventional pachinko gaming machine and the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode, the winning probability of opening the second special figure starter electric accessory 2112 (probability of selecting the winning symbol of the normal symbol), normal The change time of the symbol and the opening time of the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 will be described.

<< Opening Probability of 2nd Special Figure Start-up Electrical Member 2112 >>
First, the probability of winning the opening of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 in the conventional pachinko gaming machine is determined uniformly according to the gaming state. Specifically, when the game state on the main game side is a special drawing time reduction game state, the probability of selecting a normal symbol winning symbol is also increased in conjunction with the game state on the auxiliary game side. Transition to the floating game state. As an example, when the game state on the auxiliary game side is the normal game state, the selection probability of the normal symbol is 1/10, and the game state on the auxiliary game side is the normal game probability variable game state. In this case, a case where the selection probability of a normal symbol is approximately 1/1 can be mentioned.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode, the situation of the predetermined success / failure determination parameter at the time of starting the variation of the normal symbol {in this example, the on / off information of the special figure probability variation flag, the on / off information of the limited frequency A to C flag , The number of balls entered in the grand prize opening at the time of the previous special game, the timing of entering the game ball at the X round (for example, the first round) at the time of the previous special game (for example, detection of the first ball in the round) The winning random number at the time of the previous special game, the number of consecutive wins, the number of special figure changes from the previous win, the elapsed time since the previous win ...} Has been. Therefore, it is possible to realize various winning probabilities depending on the game situation without depending only on the game state on the main game side. For example, in this best mode, one tendency is that when the special figure probability variation flag is on, the winning probability is higher than when it is off, and when the special figure limited frequency flag is on, the winning probability is higher than when it is off. Is high (and limited frequency C> limited frequency B> limited frequency A), the higher the probability of winning when the number of balls entering the big prize opening at the previous special game is higher, the first round at the previous special game The earlier the first entry timing is, the higher the probability of winning, the higher the winning opening that was opened at the time of the last special game is the higher the winning probability of the second winning entrance, and the higher the winning probability is that the winnings are consecutive The greater the number of changes in the special symbol since the previous hit, the higher the winning probability, and the longer the time since the previous hit, the higher the winning probability (see Table 2).

《Normal design variation time》
Next, the variation time of the normal symbol in the conventional pachinko gaming machine is also uniformly determined according to the gaming state. Specifically, if the game state on the main game side is a special drawing time shortening game state, the game state on the auxiliary game side is also linked to shift to the normal game short game state where the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is shortened. . For example, if the game state on the auxiliary game side is the normal game state, the normal symbol variation time is 30 seconds, and if the game state on the auxiliary game side is the normal game time short game state, the normal symbol The case where the fluctuation time is 5 seconds can be mentioned.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode, the situation of a predetermined common figure variation time determination parameter at the time of starting the variation of the normal symbol {in this example, the on / off information of the special figure probability variation flag, the limited frequency A to C flag ON / OFF information of the game, the number of balls entered in the grand prize opening at the time of the previous special game, the timing of the game ball at the X round (for example, the first round) at the time of the previous special game (for example, the first entry in the round) Sphere detection timing), the special prize opening at the last special game, the number of consecutive wins, the number of special figure changes from the previous hit, the elapsed time since the previous hit ...} It is configured as follows. Therefore, it is possible to realize a non-uniform variation time that does not depend only on the game state on the main game side. For example, in this best mode, as one tendency, when the special figure probability variation flag is on, the fluctuation time is shorter than when it is off, and when the special figure limited frequency flag is on, the fluctuation time is longer than when it is off. Is shorter (and limited frequency C> limited frequency B> limited frequency A), the smaller the number of balls entering the big prize opening at the time of the previous special game, the shorter the fluctuation time, and the larger the time opened at the time of the previous special game. The winning opening of the 2nd prize winning opening is shorter, the fluctuation time is shorter if the winning is continuous, the fluctuation time is shorter as the number of special symbol fluctuations from the previous winning is larger, The longer the time, the shorter the variation time (see Table 6).

<< Opening time of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 >>
Next, the opening time of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 in the conventional pachinko gaming machine is also determined uniformly according to the gaming state. Specifically, when the game state on the main game side is the special drawing time shortening game state, the opening time of the second special figure start opening motor combination is extended in conjunction with the game state on the auxiliary game side. Transition to the open extension state. As an example, when the game state on the auxiliary game side is the normal game state, the opening time of the second special figure start port electric accessory 2112 is 0.1 seconds, and the game state on the auxiliary game side is released. In the extended state, the case where the opening time of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 is 5 seconds can be mentioned.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode, the situation of the predetermined opening time determination parameter at the time when the symbol is hit and the symbol stops {in this example, the on / off information of the special figure probability changing flag, the limited frequencies A to C Flag on / off information, number of balls in the big prize opening at the previous special game, timing of game ball entry at the Xth round (for example, the first round) at the previous special game (for example, first time in the round) Entry timing of the second special figure, the number of consecutive winnings, the number of consecutive wins, the number of special figure fluctuations from the previous win, the elapsed time since the previous win ...} It is comprised so that the opening time of an electric accessory may differ. Therefore, it is possible to realize a non-uniform release time that does not depend only on the game state on the main game side. For example, in this best mode, as one tendency, when the special figure certain change flag is on, the opening time is longer than when it is off, and when the special figure limitation frequency A and B flags are off, it is on. When the special figure limitation frequency C flag is on, the opening time is longer than when it is off, and the opening time is longer when the number of balls entering the big prize opening at the previous special game is large. The opening time is longer when the first entry timing in the first round of the previous special game is earlier, and the opening time of the second prize opening is higher for the second prize opening than the previous special game, The longer the opening time is, the longer the opening time is, the longer the opening time is, and the longer the opening time is, the longer the opening time is (see Table 7). .

  Thus, in this best mode, the state of the predetermined parameter (the content temporarily stored in the auxiliary game content determination information temporary storage means 1192c in this example) at the normal symbol variation start timing and the normal symbol variation end timing is set. Based on this, the probability of winning the opening of the second special figure starting port electric accessory 2112 (probability of selecting a normal symbol winning symbol), the variation time of the normal symbol, and the opening time of the second special figure starting opening electric accessory 2112 are determined. It is configured to be. Accordingly, the opening winning probability of the second special figure starter electric accessory 2112 (probability of selecting a normal symbol hitting symbol), the fluctuation time of the normal symbol, and the opening time of the second special figure starter electric accessory 2112 are observed. By doing so, it is possible to estimate the situation of the predetermined parameter. For example, in this example, if the special symbol probability variation gaming state disappears, the normal symbol hit symbol will change, etc., so if it becomes difficult to stop the normal symbol hit symbol, internally the special symbol probability It can be recognized that the floating gaming state may have ended (in this example, it has fallen).

  By the way, in this example, the open winning probability (probability that a normal symbol winning symbol is selected) of the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112, the variation time of the normal symbol, and the second special figure start opening electric accessory 2112 The basic trends shown for the opening time are merely examples. For example, when the special symbol probability changing flag is on, the winning probability of opening the second special symbol start opening electric accessory 2112 (probability that the symbol of the normal symbol is selected), the variation time of the normal symbol, and the second special symbol The opening time of the starter electric accessory 2112 is considered to be advantageous to the player, but the opening probability of the second special figure electric accessory 2112 is disadvantageous to the player. Even if it shows such a tendency or does not show a tendency at all (it is random), any aspect can be taken.

  According to this best mode, when a random number is acquired based on the entrance of a game ball to the special game transition lottery start port, and the lottery using the random number is won, the game shifts to a special game advantageous to the player. In a pachinko gaming machine of the type, in which a variable member that opens under a predetermined condition and is easy to enter a special game transition lottery start opening is attached to the start opening, various factors {e.g., game Since it is configured to include a table associating the state, parameters regarding the current state (for example, the number of times of change, time, etc.)} and information related to the opening time of the variable member per unit period, When the opening time of the variable member can be determined, it is possible to simplify the determination process and reduce the software load on the main control board.

  According to the best mode, in addition to the above effect, the auxiliary game unit side independently has an area for temporarily storing information for determining the opening time of the variable member per unit period. As a result, it is not necessary to execute the update process of the area where the information directly connected to the special game transition managed by the main game unit side is temporarily stored. This has the effect of avoiding adverse effects on
