Description

  The present invention starts the variable display game based on the start memory, and determines that the display result of the variable display game is the special display result when it is determined that the random number stored corresponding to the start memory is a specific value. The present invention relates to a gaming machine that controls a variable display game.

  Conventionally, when the random number value stored in correspondence with the start memory of the start memory means is a specific value (big hit value) that generates a special gaming state (big hit value), it is stored before the start memory. In order to suggest that a special gaming state will occur in the variable display game executed by digesting the start memory that has been performed, a gaming machine having a prior effect function that executes an effect different from normal is known (for example, , See Patent Document 1).

  In addition, if the pre-production is performed only when the random value is a big hit value, if the pre-production occurs, the big win will be generated and the interest of the variable display game will be reduced. In this case, a game machine that is generated with a certain probability is also common.

JP-A-8-243224

However, when the pre-effect is executed even when the random value is an outlier, the reach state does not always occur in the target variable display game with the start memory. In other words, if the occurrence of the reach state that frequently occurs with the random number value for determining the big hit is also determined, the update period of the random number value may be estimated by the result of the variable display game. In general, it is difficult to determine the occurrence of the reach state with the random number value for use, and it is difficult to execute the pre-production when the reach state occurs when the random value is an outlier. .
If the pre-production is performed under such conditions, in the case of an outlier, even if a pre-production is performed to increase the player's expectation, the condition is that the target game shifts to a big hit in the target variable display game. In most cases, even the reach state does not occur, and there is a problem that it is not possible to execute a pre-production that sufficiently increases the player's expectation.

  An object of the present invention is to start a variable display game based on the start memory and specially display the display result of the variable display game when it is determined that the random number stored corresponding to the start memory is a specific value. In a gaming machine that controls a variable display game so as to obtain a display result, it is to be able to perform a pre-stage effect that can enhance the expectation for the player.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention according to claim 1 is based on a variable display device capable of displaying a variable display game based on a plurality of identification information, and winning of a game ball in a start winning opening provided in the game area. Start memory means capable of extracting random numbers and storing them as start memory for executing the variable display game; and variable display control means for controlling the variable display game based on the start memory stored in the start memory means; In a gaming machine equipped with
A small hit control means capable of generating a small hit state advantageous to the player when the display result of the variable display game is a small hit result mode;
Big hit control means capable of generating a big hit state that is more advantageous to the player than the small hit state when the display result of the variable display game is a big hit result mode;
When the start memory that is the small hit result mode or the big hit result mode is stored in the start memory means, a variable display game corresponding to the start memory stored before the start memory is being executed. A pre-production means capable of performing a pre-production in the meantime,
The small hit result mode is a mode different from the big hit result mode and the off result mode,
The variable display control means, Ri generatable der a reach state in the variable display game corresponding to start memory to be the Koatari results embodiments were subject to the pre effect,
The start storage means stores the first start memory based on the winning of the game ball to the first start winning opening, and stores the second start memory based on the winning of the game ball to the second start winning opening,
The variation display control means is configured to execute a first variation display game based on the first start memory, and to execute a second variation display game based on the second start memory,
Priority variation display control means for preferentially executing the second variation display game based on the second start memory over the first variation display game based on the first start memory;
When the second variable display game based on the second start memory is preferentially executed during the execution of the pre-effect started based on the first start memory, and wherein the interruptible der Rukoto pre-production.

Here, the “variable display device” is, for example, a display such as a liquid crystal display device, a CRT display device, an EL display device, a display device in which a large number of light emitting elements (LEDs) are arranged, or a mechanical display using a rotating drum. Device.
The variable display game is a variable display device that displays a plurality of pieces of identification information (for example, characters, numbers, symbols, characters, etc. as symbols) in a variable manner.
In addition, the “preliminary effect” is performed by image display, lamp / LED light emission, sound output, etc., for example, direct notification that a big hit is likely or a big hit is likely to occur (for example, an image display) May display “big hit will occur”, “large possibility of big hit”, output a specific sound, turn on a specific lamp), or indirectly notify (for example, specified in image display) May be displayed, a specific sound may be output, and a specific lamp may be lit). In the case of a small hit, notification may be performed directly or indirectly. Note that a plurality of notification modes (effect modes) may be set, and a notification mode that is surely a big hit by execution and a notification mode that is not surely a big hit even if executed may be selected and executed. Note that “preliminary performance” is not necessarily executed when a big hit or a small hit occurs. For example, when a big hit occurs, the “preliminary presentation” is executed based on a pre-occurrence rate of a prior presentation. You may make it do.
In addition, “small hit” indicates that the result mode of the variable display game is a specific result mode (for example, the display mode in the variable display device is “7, ☆, 7”, the left symbol and the right symbol are aligned, This occurs when the symbol becomes a predetermined character symbol or the like), but generates a small hit state in which the profit obtained by the player is extremely small compared to the case of “big hit”. That is, “small hit” is substantially equal to “out of”.
In addition, the “reach state” is a game state when the variable display device derives and displays a plurality of display results at different times, and the plurality of display results are a combination of a predetermined display mode. In the gaming machine in which the game state is advantageous for the player (special game state), the display result already derived and displayed at the stage where some of the plurality of display results are not yet derived and displayed is the specific display. A display state that satisfies the conditions for combination of modes.
In other words, the reach state is a display condition that becomes the specific display mode even when the variable display control of the variable display device progresses and reaches the stage before the display result is derived and displayed. A display mode that is not deviated from. And, for example, a state in which a variable display is performed by a plurality of variable display areas (so-called full rotation reach) while maintaining a state where the combinations of the specific display modes are aligned is also included in the reach state.
The reach state is a display state at the time when the display control of the variable display device progresses and reaches the stage before the display result is derived and displayed, and is determined before the display result is derived and displayed. This means a display state in a case where at least a part of the display results of the plurality of variable display areas that have been satisfied the conditions for the specific display mode.
Furthermore, some reach is likely to generate a big hit (a high degree of expectation for a big hit) compared to a normal reach when it appears. Such a specific reach is called a special reach, a super reach, or the like.

According to the invention described in claim 1, and can execute the advance effect when the start memory as a Koatari result aspect or jackpot results embodiments is stored, and Koatari result aspect is the subject of the pre-effect Since the reach state can be generated in the fluctuating display game, it is possible to perform a pre-production that can enhance the player's expectation.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to execute the pre-effect when the start memory that is the small hit result mode or the big hit result mode is stored, and the reach state can be generated in the variable display game that is the small hit result mode. Therefore, it is possible to perform a pre-production that can enhance the expectation of the player.

  A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Here, a pachinko gaming machine as a suitable example of the gaming machine according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 shows a game board 1 surrounded by a guide rail 2 and having a game area 1a on the front side where a game ball is launched to play a game. A machine frame that is an outer frame of the gaming machine and is fixed to the island facility, a clear member holding frame that covers the front surface of the game area 1a, a front frame to which the game board 1 is attached, and a game that is provided below the game area 1a. An illustration of an operation panel having an upper plate and a lower plate for containing a ball and having an operation handle for a player to perform a launch operation is omitted.

  The game board 1 includes a flat game board body 1b (made of wood or synthetic resin) serving as a mounting base for various members, and has a game area 1a surrounded by guide rails 2 on the front surface of the game board body 1b. ing. Further, front structural members 3, 3,... Are attached to the front surface of the game board main body 1b and outside the guide rail 2. Then, a game ball (hit ball; game medium) is launched from a launching device into a game area 1a surrounded by the guide rail 2 to play a game.

  At the approximate center of the game area 1a, a center case 20 is attached that forms a window 22 serving as a display area for the decorative special figure variation display game. Behind the window 22 formed in the center case 20 is arranged a display device 43 as a variable display device capable of executing a variable display game that displays a plurality of identification information in a variable manner. The display device 43 includes, for example, a liquid crystal display, and is arranged so that a display portion 43 a whose display contents can be changed is visible from the front side of the game board 1 through the window portion 22 of the center case 20. . Note that the display device 43 is not limited to a device including a liquid crystal display, and may include a display such as an EL or a CRT.

  Further, in the game area 1a, there is provided a general diagram start gate 4, a general diagram storage display 15 for displaying the number of unprocessed times of a general variation display game, and a general diagram display 5 for displaying a general variation display game. It has been. Further, in the game area 1a, there are provided a first start winning opening 13 forming a first start winning area and a normal variable winning apparatus 7 forming a second start winning area. When the game ball wins the first start winning opening 13, the first special figure variation display game is executed as an auxiliary game, and when the game ball wins the normal variation winning device 7, the second game is played as an auxiliary game. A special figure variation display game is executed.

  In the game area 1a, a first special figure display 8 for displaying the first special figure fluctuation display game and a second special figure display 9 for displaying the second special figure fluctuation display game are provided. ing. Further, the first special figure storage display 18 for displaying the number of unprocessed times (first start memory) of the first special figure variation display game, and the number of unprocessed times (second start memory) of the second special figure variation display game. A second special figure memory display 19 for displaying is provided. In addition, the common figure memory display 15, the common figure display 5, the first special figure display 8, the second special figure display 9, the first special figure storage display 18, and the second special figure storage display 19 are: Together with a game state display LED (not shown) representing the game state, it is integrally provided as a segment LED.

  Furthermore, the game area 1a has an attacker-type opening / closing door 10a that can be opened by rotating in a direction in which the upper end side is tilted toward the front side, and a first special figure variation display game and a second special figure variation display game. As a result, the special variable winning device 10 for converting from the closed state (a disadvantageous state for the player) to the open state (a state advantageous to the player) depending on the result, the game ball that did not win the winning port, etc. An out-hole 11 for collection is provided. In addition, the game area 1a is provided with general winning holes 12, 12,..., A windmill 14 as a batting direction changing member, a number of obstacle nails (not shown), and the like.

  A gate SW4a (shown in FIG. 2) for detecting a game ball that has passed through the general start gate 4 is provided in the general start gate 4. Then, when the game ball that has been driven into the game area 1a passes through the normal diagram start gate 4, a normal variation display game is performed. In addition, the normal variation display game cannot be started, for example, the normal variation display game has already been played and the normal variation display game has not been completed, When 7 is converted to the open state and the game ball passes through the general figure start gate 4, if the number is less than the upper limit of the general figure start memory number, the normal figure start memory number is incremented by one and the normal figure start is started. One memory is stored. Note that the start memory of the general map variable display game is displayed on the general map memory display 15 provided with LEDs.

A general-purpose (ordinary symbol) variable display game is executed by a general-purpose display 5 provided in the game area 1a. In addition, you may make it display a common figure change display game in a part of display area of the display apparatus 43. In this case, for example, a number, a symbol, a character design etc. are used as an identification symbol, and this is changed for a predetermined time. After being displayed, it is performed by stopping display. If the stop display of the usual figure change display game becomes a special result mode, the opening and closing members 7a and 7a of the normal change winning device 7 are opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds). The Thereby, it becomes easy to win a game ball in the normal variation winning device 7, and it is easy to start the second special figure variation display game.

  The normal variation winning device 7 includes a pair of left and right opening / closing members 7a, 7a, and is disposed below the first start winning opening 13, and the opening / closing members 7a, 7a are normally spaced at an interval of about the diameter of a game ball. However, when the result of the general variable display game is in a predetermined stop display mode, a solenoid (general power SOL 7b, FIG. 2), the game ball can be changed to a state in which the game ball can easily flow into the normal variation winning device 7 (a state advantageous to the player).

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment can generate a short-time operation state (second operation state) as a gaming state based on the result mode of the special figure variation display game. At this time, the short operation state (second operation state) is a state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is more likely to be an open state than the normal operation state (first operation state). At this time, in the short operation state, the execution time of the above-mentioned general-purpose variable display game is controlled to be shorter than the long execution time in the normal operation state (for example, 10 seconds is 1 second). Control is performed so that the number of times the normally variable winning device 7 is opened is substantially increased. Further, in the short-time operation state, when the normal variation winning game 7 is released as a result of winning the normal-variation display game, the release time is controlled to be longer than the short open time of the normal operation state. (For example, 0.3 seconds is 1.8 seconds). Also, in the short-time operation state, the normal variation winning device 7 is opened not more than once but multiple times (for example, two times) instead of once for the result of one hit of the normal variation display game. Further, in the short-time operation state, the probability that the hit result of the normal-variable display game is higher than that in the normal operation state is controlled. That is, the number of times of opening of the normal variation winning device 7 is increased as compared with the normal operation state, and it becomes easier for a game ball to win the normal variation winning device 7 and the start of the second special figure variable display game is facilitated.

  The first start winning opening 13 is provided with a first start opening SW13a (shown in FIG. 2), and based on the detection of the game ball by the first start opening SW13a, the first special figure variation as an auxiliary game is provided. A start right to start the display game is generated. Further, a second start opening SW7d (shown in FIG. 2) is provided inside the normal variation winning device 7, and a second special figure as an auxiliary game is based on the detection of a game ball by the second start opening SW7d. The start right to start the variable display game is generated. The start right to start the first special figure variation display game is stored as a first start memory (a special figure 1 start memory, a first special figure start memory) within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). The first start memory is displayed on the first special figure memory display 18. The start right to start the second special figure variation display game is stored as a second start memory (special figure 2 start memory, second special figure start memory) within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). . The second start memory is displayed on the second special figure memory display 19.

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

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

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

  The first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game as the auxiliary games are executed by the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 provided in the game area 1a. This is performed by variably displaying a plurality of pieces of identification information and then stopping and displaying a predetermined result mode. In addition, a decorative special figure fluctuation display game in which a plurality of types of identification information (for example, numbers, symbols, character designs, etc.) are variably displayed on the display device 43 corresponding to each special figure fluctuation display game is executed. ing. If the display form of the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 becomes a special result form (for example, “7”) as a result of the special figure variation display game, a big hit is obtained. Special gaming state (so-called big hit state). Correspondingly, the display mode of the display device 43 is also a special result mode (for example, any one of the numbers in the flat order such as “7, 7, 7”). Further, when the display mode of the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 becomes a special result mode (for example, “0”), a special game state (so-called small hit) is made. State). Correspondingly, the display mode of the display device 43 is also changed to a special result mode (for example, “7, ☆, 7”, for example, “7, −, 7”; the middle symbol is changing). 7 "etc .; ☆ is a predetermined character design). The first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 may be separate displays or the same display, but a special figure change display game is displayed independently. In addition, the display device 43 may use different display devices and different display areas in the first special map fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game, or use the same display device and display area. However, the decoration special figure variation display game is displayed independently. In addition, the game machine may not be provided with the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9, and the special figure variation display game may be executed only by the display device 43.

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

  A special variable winning device 10 as a variable winning device is provided with a large winning opening that is opened and closed by an attacker-type opening / closing door 10a that can be opened by rotating in a direction in which the upper end side is tilted forward. During the state, it is possible to facilitate the inflow of game balls into the big prize opening by converting the big prize opening from the closed state to the open state, and to give a predetermined game value (prize ball) to the player It has become. The open / close door 10a is driven by, for example, a solenoid (large winning opening SOL10b, shown in FIG. 2) as a conversion control means. In addition, a count SW 10c (shown in FIG. 2) for detecting a game ball that has entered the big prize opening is arranged inside the big prize opening (winning area).

  In addition, in each general winning opening 12 provided in the game area 1a, a winning opening SW 12a (shown in FIG. 2) for detecting a game ball that has entered the general winning opening 12 is disposed. The game balls that are driven into the game area 1a by starting the game are awarded to the general prize opening 12, 12,..., The normal variable prize winning device 7, the first start prize winning port 13, the special variable prize winning device 10, etc. When a prize is awarded to any of the mouths, a predetermined number of prize balls corresponding to the respective prize mouths are paid out by the payout control device 125 (shown in FIG. 2). The payout control device 125 controls the discharge control under the control of the game control device 30 so that a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the pachinko gaming machine 100 displays a display based on a game control device 30 that controls a special figure variation display game performed on the display device 43, and an effect control command from the game control device 30. And an effect control device 40 for controlling the effect of the special figure variation display game in the device 43.

  The game control device 30 includes a game one-chip microcomputer 31 including a CPU 31a, a ROM 31b, a RAM 31c, and the like, and an input interface (input I / F) 32, an output interface (output I / F) 33, an external communication terminal 34, and the like. It is configured.

  In the gaming one-chip microcomputer 31, the internal CPU 31a includes a control unit and a calculation unit, and performs calculation control, and also generates various random numbers such as a jackpot determination random number for each special figure variable display game.

  In addition, when starting each special figure fluctuation display game (decoration special figure fluctuation display game) based on the start winning, the CPU 31a includes the fluctuation pattern of the special figure fluctuation display game, that is, the fluctuation display time of the identification information. Determine the fluctuation pattern and reach pattern (type of reach action).

  The RAM 31c inside the game one-chip microcomputer 31 stores an ON signal of the first start port SW13a provided in the first start port 13 and the second start port SW7d provided in the normal variation winning device 7. An area, a storage area for the various random numbers, a work area for the CPU 31a, and the like. That is, the winning of the game ball detected by the CPU 31a is stored in the RAM 31c as the start winning.

  A game control program and control data are written in the ROM 31b of the game one-chip microcomputer 31, and the occurrence of a big hit in each special figure variation display game is determined in accordance with the various random numbers described above. Special figure fluctuation display game big hit judgment value, special figure fluctuation display game small hit judgment value, fluctuation pattern (first half fluctuation pattern, second half fluctuation pattern) ), Determination values of reach patterns (types of reach actions), and the like are stored. Specifically, for example, in the ROM 31b, the latter half fluctuation pattern table corresponding to the game result ("big hit" or "out of game") of the special figure fluctuation display game, and the game result ("big hit" or The first half variation pattern table corresponding to the “loss”) is stored, and one second half variation pattern of the second half variation pattern table and one first variation pattern of the first half variation pattern table A variable time command table related to variable time commands (continuous notice start command, continuous notice instruction command, continuous notice change command, continuous notice end command, etc.) configured by the combination is stored. The “small hit” as the game result of the special figure variation display game is included in the “out” as the game result of the special figure fluctuation display game. This does not include the case where the result of the figure fluctuation display game is a small hit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Further, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the first start port SW13a provided in the first start winning port 13, the jackpot determination random number value of the first special figure variation display game is extracted and stored in the RAM 31c. Processing to store as start memory is performed. In other words, the game control device 30 constitutes a first start storage means for storing the winning of the game ball to the first start winning opening 13 as the first start storage. Similarly, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the second start port SW7d provided in the normal variation winning device 7, the random number value for determining the big hit of the second special figure variation display game is extracted and stored in the RAM 31c. Processing to store as start memory is performed. That is, the game control device 30 constitutes a second start storage means for storing a game ball winning in the second start winning opening (ordinary variation winning device 7) as a second start memory. Therefore, the game storage device 30 stores the winning of the game ball to the start winning area (the first start winning port 13, the normal variation winning device 7) as a start memory for each winning, up to a predetermined upper limit number. Make.

  Also, at the start of the first special figure variation display game based on the first start memory, the big hit determination random number value stored in the first start memory is determined for the first special figure variable display game stored in the ROM 31b. Compared with a value (specific value), a process of determining a miss of the first special figure variation display game is performed. Similarly, at the start of the second special figure fluctuation display game based on the second start memory, the jackpot determination random number value stored in the second start memory is used for the second special figure fluctuation display game stored in the ROM 31b. Compared with a determination value (specific value), a process of determining a miss of the second special figure variation display game is performed.

  In the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game, a predetermined number of first big hit values (first determination values) are set as specific values in the normal probability state. The determination random number value is compared, and if they match, it is determined that the game is a big hit. Further, in the high probability state, the second big hit value (second judgment value) different from the first big hit value and the first big hit value is set as the specific value, and the first big hit value, the second big hit value and the big hit value are determined. Random numbers are compared, and if they match, a big hit is determined. Here, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, each of the first special figure variation display game and the second special figure variation display game has 1000 pieces of random numbers for jackpot determination from 0 to 999. There is a value, and one value is acquired and stored for each start winning prize. In the normal probability state (when the probability is low), three values from 3 to 5 are set as specific values, and when the acquired jackpot determination random number value matches this specific value, it is determined that the game is a big hit. That is, three values from 3 to 5 set as specific values in the normal probability state are the first big hit values. Further, in the high probability state (at the time of high probability), 31 values from 3 to 33 are set as specific values, and when the acquired jackpot determination random number value matches this specific value, it is determined that the game is a big hit. The specific value in the high probability state is a value obtained by adding 28 values from 6 to 33 in addition to three values (first big hit value) from 3 to 5 which are specific values in the normal probability state. It has become. That is, 28 values from 6 to 33 set as specific values only in the high probability state are the second big hit values. Further, in the first special figure variation display game and the second special figure variation display game, a predetermined number of small hit values are set as specific values, and the small hit value and the big hit determination random number value are compared and matched. It is determined to be a small hit. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, three values from 34 to 36 are set as the jackpot value, and when the acquired jackpot determination random number value coincides with the jackpot value, it is determined as a jackpot. . Note that the random values and specific values shown here are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to them.

  Further, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, based on the start-up memory, the identification symbols are displayed on the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 in a varying manner and then stopped. Processing to display a special figure variation display game is performed. That is, the game control device 30 serves as a variation display control means capable of controlling the execution of the special figure variation display game based on the start-up memory.

  In addition, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, when the first start memory and the second start memory are stored, the execution control of the second special figure variable display game is executed. It is designed to execute in preference to execution control. That is, when the game control device 30 stores the start memory in the first start storage means (game control device 30) and the second start storage means (game control device 30), the second execution control means (game control) Priority change display control means for executing control by the device 30) with priority over control by the first execution control means (game control device 30).

  Then, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, when the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, the special figure mode is displayed on the special figure display and a process for generating a special game state is performed. . In the process of generating the special game state, for example, the opening / closing door 10a of the special variable winning device 10 is opened by the special winning opening SOL10b, and control is performed so that the gaming ball can flow into the special winning opening. Then, a condition that either a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the grand prize opening or a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds or 1 second) elapses from the opening of the big prize opening is achieved. Opening the grand prize winning opening is defined as one round, and control (cycle game) is performed to continue (repeat) this for a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 times or 2 times). Thus, the pachinko gaming machine 100 functions as a gaming machine that generates a special gaming state that can give a predetermined gaming value to the player based on the result mode of the special figure variation display game. When the result of the special figure variation display game is a small hit, for example, the open / close door 10a of the special variable prize winning device 10 is opened for 0.5 seconds (once or twice) by the big prize opening SOL10b, The control which enables inflow of the game ball to is performed. That is, the game control device 30 changes the variable winning device (special variable winning device 10) from the closed state to the open state based on the fact that the random value stored in the start storage means (game control device 30) is a big hit value. Conversion control means is also provided that converts the prize winning device into an open state in a shorter time than in the case of the big hit value based on the fact that the random value is a small hit value. When the result of the special figure variation display game is out of order, the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 are controlled to display the result form of the deviation.

  Further, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, when the special figure variation display game is a big hit, the big hit symbol is extracted based on the big hit symbol random number extracted and stored simultaneously with the big hit determination random number value. While determining (the 1st special result mode or the 2nd special result mode), the processing which sets the probability state (normal probability state or high probability state) which derives the special result mode after the end of the special gaming state is performed.

  Then, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, the determination value (specific value) and the second special value for the first special figure variation display game according to the current probability state (normal probability state or high probability state). A process of setting a determination value (specific value) for the figure variation display game is performed. Specifically, in the normal probability state, the random number value is set using a predetermined number of first jackpot values as a specific value, and in the high probability state, a second value different from the first jackpot value and the first jackpot value is set. Performs processing to set the big hit value. That is, the game control device 30 can control the probability that the display result of the variable display game will be the special display result (special result mode) in either the normal probability state or the high probability state. As a means to control the probability of fluctuation.

  It should be noted that the value of the second special figure variation display game is given to the player in the special game state or after the special game state ends, rather than the first special figure variation display game. The value given to the player is high because, for example, the distribution ratio of the number of rounds in the special gaming state is advantageous to the player (the first special figure variable display game has an occurrence rate of 15R probability variation big hit: 40%, The 2R probability variable jackpot occurrence rate: 20%, 15R normal jackpot occurrence rate: 40%, while the second special figure fluctuation display game is 15R probability variation jackpot occurrence rate: 55%, 2R probability variation jackpot occurrence rate: 5%, 15R normal big hit occurrence rate: 40%). In addition to the fact that the number of rounds in the special gaming state is large (the number of prize balls that can be obtained by the player is large), the second special figure variation display game is more The probability of becoming higher may be increased. Further, the value in production may include a tendency to reach a reach state, a reach production that does not usually appear easily (a so-called super reach or a premier reach), and the like.

  In the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, game balls input from sensors (first start port SW13a, second start port SW7d, winning port SW12a, count SW10c) provided at various winning ports. Based on the detection signal, the payout control device 125 is controlled so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out from the discharge device.

  In addition, the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 stores the jackpot determination random number value stored in the first start memory or the second start memory and the ROM 31b in addition to the start timing of the special figure variation display game. Whether or not a special result mode is derived in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory for the start memory for which the special figure fluctuation display game has not yet been executed. In the case where the result of the special figure variation display game is “big hit” or “small hit”, a pre-effect is performed. That is, while the game control device 30 is executing the variable display game corresponding to the start memory stored earlier than the predetermined start memory stored in the start storage means, It is a pre-production means for performing the production.

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

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

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

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

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

  Next, a continuous effect state in which a specific effect (continuous notice) having a series over a plurality of special figure variation display games is continuously performed as a prior effect (notice notification) will be described. This continuous effect state is one of the notice effects that inform the player in advance that a special result mode may be derived in the special figure variation display game, and is used for determining the big hit stored in the start memory. A determination as to whether or not the random number value matches a preset specific value (big hit value) is performed in advance of the start timing of the special figure variation display game, and this determination result (matches the specific value in the start memory) Results in a special figure variation display game that is performed based on a start memory that has not yet been executed by repeatedly performing a notice over a plurality of special figure variation display games based on whether or not there is a jackpot determination random number value) Is a notice. That is, the continuous performance state improves the interest of the game by making the player have a sense of expectation by suggesting that there is a start memory in which the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit in the start memory. .

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

[Main processing]
In the main process, the entire program is controlled. As shown in FIG. 5, in the main process, the process at the start of the program is first performed. As processing at the start of the program, first, initialization processing at power-on (step S1) is performed, and then power failure recovery processing (step S2) is performed.

  Next, loop processing is performed as main loop processing. In this loop process, first, a process for starting an interrupt timer (step S3) is performed to start a CTC (counter timer circuit). Next, an interrupt prohibition process (step S4) is performed, and an initial value random number update process (step S5) is performed to update the initial value of a random number such as a big hit determination random number and break the temporal regularity of the random number. Then, a process of permitting interruption (step S6) is performed.

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

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

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

  In this process when a power failure occurs, first, a process for prohibiting interruption is performed. And the process which turns off all the output ports is performed, and the process which clears a power failure inspection area | region is performed. Further, after performing the process of saving the power failure recovery inspection area check data in the power failure recovery inspection area, performing the process of calculating the checksum when the power of the RAM 31c is turned off, and performing the process of prohibiting access to the RAM 31c, the gaming machine Wait for the power to turn off. Thus, by saving the power failure recovery inspection area check data in the power failure recovery inspection area and calculating the checksum at the time of power interruption, the information stored in the RAM 31c before the power interruption is correctly backed up. Can be determined at power-on.

[Timer interrupt processing]

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

  Next, random number update processing 2 (step f) is performed for updating random numbers for determining a variation pattern in the decoration special diagram variation display game related to the special diagram variation display game. Next, whether there is a signal input from the first start port SW13a, the second start port SW7d, the gate SW4a, the winning ports SW12a, 12a,..., The count SW10c (whether a signal indicating detection of a game ball is input) A winning opening switch monitoring process (step g) is monitored.

  Then, an error monitoring process (step h) for monitoring each signal and error is performed, and a first special figure game process (step i) for performing a process relating to the first special figure fluctuation display game, and a second special figure fluctuation display game. A second special figure game process (step j) for performing the process and a general figure game process (step k) for performing a process related to the common figure display game are performed.

  Next, a segment LED editing process (step l) is performed that is provided in the pachinko gaming machine 100 and performs a process related to a segment LED that displays various information related to games. Then, an external information editing process (step m) is performed in which a signal to be output to the external management apparatus is set in the output buffer. Next, the processing for declaring the end of interrupt (step n) is performed, the processing for restoring the saved register data (step o) is performed, the processing for permitting the interrupt (step p) is performed, and the timer interrupt processing is performed. finish.

[First Special Figure Game Processing]

As shown in FIG. 7, in the first special figure game process, first, it is determined whether or not there is a start winning in the first start winning opening 13 (step i1).

  In the determination of whether or not there is a start winning at the first start winning opening 13 (step i1), the determination is made based on the presence or absence of a game ball detection signal output from the first start opening SW13a. In the determination of whether or not there is a start winning in the first start winning opening 13 (step i1), if there is no start winning (step i1; No), it is determined whether or not there is a second start memory (step i8). )I do.

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not there is a start winning in the first start winning opening 13 (step i1), if there is a start winning (step i1; Yes), a process of acquiring the first start memorized number (step i2). ) To determine whether the first start memory number is 4 or more (step i3).

  In the determination of whether or not the first start memory number is 4 or more (step i3), when the first start memory number is 4 or more (step i3; Yes), that is, the upper limit value of the first start memory number is set. If it exceeds, it is determined whether there is a second start memory (step i8).

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the first start memory number is 4 or more (step i3), if the first start memory number is not 4 or more (step i3; No), the first start memory number is incremented by one. Processing (step i4) is performed.

  After performing the process of incrementing the first start memory number by 1 (step i4), storing the big hit random number in the big hit random number save area corresponding to the updated first start memory number (step i5), The storing process (step i6) is performed. Furthermore, the process of setting the command of the effect symbol start memory number (step i7) is performed, and the display setting of the first start memory number on the display device 43 is performed. Then, it is determined whether or not there is a second start memory (step i8).

  In the determination of whether or not there is a second start memory (step i8), if there is a second start memory (step i8; Yes), the first special figure game process is terminated. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not there is a second start memory (step i8), if there is no second start memory (step i8; No), a process of acquiring a special figure game process number (step i9) is performed.

  Then, a special figure game branching process (step i10) is performed based on the acquired special figure game process number, a special figure variation control process (step i11) is performed, and the special figure game process is terminated.

[Second special figure game processing]
In the second special figure game process, the input of the second start port SW7d is monitored, the whole process related to the second special figure variation display game is controlled, and the special figure display is set. As shown in FIG. 8, in the second special figure game process, first, it is determined whether or not there is a start winning for the normal variation winning device 7 (step j <b> 1).

  In the determination of whether or not there is a start winning for the normal variation winning device 7 (step j1), the determination is made based on the presence or absence of a game ball detection signal output from the second start port SW7d. If there is no start prize (step j1; No) in the determination of whether or not there is a start prize for the normal variable prize device 7 (step j1), a process for obtaining a special figure game process number (step j8) is performed.

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not there is a start winning to the ordinary variable winning device 7 (step j1), if there is a starting win (step j1; Yes), a process of acquiring the second start memory number (step j2). To determine whether or not the second start memory number is 4 or more (step j3).

  In the determination of whether or not the second start memory number is 4 or more (step j3), if the second start memory number is 4 or more (step j3; Yes), that is, the upper limit value of the second start memory number is set. When it exceeds, the process (step j8) which acquires a special figure game process number is performed. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the second start memory number is 4 or more (step j3), if the second start memory number is not 4 or more (step j3; No), the second start memory number is incremented by one. Processing (step j4) is performed.

  Thereafter, processing for storing the big hit random number in the big hit random number saving area corresponding to the updated second starting stored number (step j5) and processing for storing the big hit symbol random number (step j6) are performed. Furthermore, the process of setting the command for the effect symbol start memory number (step j7) is performed, and the display setting of the second start memory number on the display device 43 is performed. And the process (step j8) which acquires a special figure game process number is performed.

  Then, a special figure game branching process (step j9) is performed based on the acquired special figure game process number, a special figure variation control process (step j10) is performed, and the special figure game process is terminated.

[Special figure game branching]
As shown in FIG. 9, in the special figure game branching process, the process to be executed is selected based on the special figure game process number acquired in the process (step i9, step j8) of acquiring the special figure game process number. It has become. This special figure game branching process is a process for controlling the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game based on the start-up memory, and is a process common to both the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game. .

  In this special figure game branching process, first, it is determined whether or not the process number is 0 (step S11). In the determination of whether or not the process number is 0 (step S11), if the process number is 0 (step S11; Yes), a special figure routine process is performed (step S12). In this special figure routine processing (step S12), the start of variation of the special symbol is monitored, and setting of the special symbol variation start, production setting, or setting of information necessary for performing the special figure routine processing is performed. It has become. Details of the special figure routine process (step S12) will be described later. On the other hand, if the process number is not 0 (step S11; No) in the determination of whether or not the process number is 0 (step S11), it is determined whether or not the process number is 1 (step S13). .

  Next, it is determined whether or not the process number is 1 (step S13). In the determination of whether or not the process number is 1 (step S13), when the process number is 1 (step S13; Yes), the special figure change start process 2 is performed (step S14). In the special figure variation start process 2 (step S14), information related to special symbol fluctuation is set. For example, a special figure fluctuation display game (first game based on the first start memory or the second start memory) is set. With the execution of the 1 special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game, the corresponding first start memory and second start memory are decremented by one. On the other hand, if the process number is not 1 (step S13; No) in determining whether the process number is 1 (step S13), it is determined whether the process number is 2 (step S15). .

  Next, it is determined whether or not the process number is 2 (step S15). In the determination of whether or not the processing number is 2 (step S15), when the processing number is 2 (step S15; Y), a special figure changing process is performed (step S16). In the special figure changing process (step S16), a timer for managing time (fluctuation time, etc.) in the special figure changing display game is updated, and information necessary for performing the special figure displaying process is set. It is like that. On the other hand, if the process number is not 2 (step S15; No) in the determination of whether the process number is 2 (step S15), it is determined whether the process number is 3 (step S17). .

  Next, it is determined whether or not the process number is 3 (step S17). In the determination of whether or not the processing number is 3 (step S17), if the processing number is 3 (step S17; Yes), a special figure display process is performed (step S18). This special figure display processing (step S18) is performed when the timer for managing the time (such as the stop symbol display time) in the special figure fluctuation display game is updated or when the special figure fluctuation display game is a big hit. Information necessary for performing fanfare / interval processing is set. On the other hand, if the process number is not 3 (step S17; No) in the determination as to whether the process number is 3 (step S17), the process determines whether the process number is 4 (step S19). .

  Next, it is determined whether or not the process number is 4 (step S19). In the determination of whether or not the processing number is 4 (step S19), if the processing number is 4 (step S19; Yes), the fanfare / interval processing that is processing related to the special gaming state is performed (step S20). ). On the other hand, if the process number is not 4 (step S19; No) in the determination of whether or not the process number is 4 (step S19), it is determined whether or not the process number is 5 (step S21). .

  Next, it is determined whether or not the process number is 5 (step S21). In the determination of whether or not the processing number is 5 (step S21), if the processing number is 5 (step S21; Yes), a process for opening a big prize opening that is processing related to the special gaming state is performed (step S21). S22). Specifically, in the process of generating the special game state, for example, control is performed such that the open / close door 10a of the special variable prize apparatus 10 is opened by the big prize opening SOL10b, and the game ball can flow into the big prize opening. Do. Then, a condition that either a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the grand prize opening or a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds or 1 second) elapses from the opening of the big prize opening is achieved. Opening the grand prize winning opening is defined as one round, and control (cycle game) is performed to continue (repeat) this for a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 times or 2 times). When the result of the special figure variation display game is a small hit, for example, the open / close door 10a of the special variable prize winning device 10 is opened for 0.5 seconds (once or twice) by the big prize opening SOL10b, The control which enables inflow of the game ball to is performed. On the other hand, if the process number is not 5 (step S21; No) in the determination of whether the process number is 5 (step S21), it is determined whether the process number is 6 (step S23). .

  Next, it is determined whether or not the process number is 6 (step S23). In the determination of whether or not the processing number is 6 (step S23), if the processing number is 6 (step S23; Y), the result of the processing related to the special gaming state or the special figure variation display game is a small hit. In this case, a special winning opening remaining ball process is performed (step S24). On the other hand, if the process number is not 6 (step S23; No) in the determination of whether or not the process number is 6 (step S23), it is determined whether or not the process number is 7 (step S25). .

  Next, the game control device 30 determines whether or not the process number is 7 (step S25). In the determination of whether or not the process number is 7 (step S25), if the process number is 7 (step S25; Yes), a big hit end process that is a process related to the special gaming state is performed (step S26). On the other hand, if the process number is not 7 in the determination of whether the process number is 7 (step S25) (step S25; No), the special figure game branching process is terminated.

  In the special figure routine processing that is performed when the process number is 0 in the special figure game branching process, it is necessary to monitor the start of fluctuation of the special symbol and to set the special symbol variation start or to perform the special figure routine processing. Information is set. As shown in FIG. 10, in this special figure routine processing, first, it is determined whether or not there is a start memory (step S31). In the determination of whether or not there is a start memory (step S31), if there is no start memory (step S31; No), it is determined whether or not a customer waiting demonstration is set (step S39). The case where there is no start memory (step S31; No) is a case where neither the first start memory nor the second start memory is present.

  In determining whether there is a customer waiting demo setting (step S39), for example, it is determined whether a customer waiting demo flag that is set to display the customer waiting demo image on the display device 43 is set. If it is determined whether or not there is a customer waiting demo setting (step S39), if there is a customer waiting demo setting (step S39; Yes), the special figure routine processing is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined whether there is a customer waiting demo setting (step S39), if there is no customer waiting demo setting (step S39; No), a customer waiting demo command is set (step S40). Normal processing ends.

  Further, in the determination of whether or not there is a start memory (step S31), if there is a start memory (step S31; Yes), it is a process related to a continuous notice that continuously produces effects over a plurality of special figure variable display games. A continuous notice control process (step S32) is performed.

  In the continuous notice control process, as a process related to the continuous notice, a process for executing the continuous notice and determining the contents of the effect of the continuous notice is performed. As shown in FIG. 11, in this continuous notice control process, it is first determined whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S41). Whether or not there is a continuous notice flag is determined (step S41) by determining whether or not there is a continuous notice flag that is set when the continuous notice is being executed. This is a process for determining whether or not. In the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S41), when there is no continuous notice flag (step S41; No), that is, when the continuous notice is not being executed, it is determined whether to execute the continuous notice or not. A notice execution determination process (step S49) is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in this continuous notice execution determination process, first, a process (step S71) of acquiring a big hit random number (big hit determination random value) in the start memory (first start memory, second start memory). Then, it is determined whether or not the acquired jackpot random number has a value that matches the second jackpot value (step S72). In the determination of whether or not there is a value that matches the second jackpot value (step S72), if there is a value that matches the second jackpot value (step S72; Yes), that is, if it is a high probability state, it is a jackpot. In this case, the continuous notice execution determination process is terminated. Thus, when there is a start memory that is determined to be a big hit by the second big hit value, if the current probability state is a high probability state, but the normal probability state at the time of execution of the start memory, the result is lost. It may become contradictory to the notice. Conversely, if the current probability state is a normal probability state but a high probability state at the time of execution of the start-up memory, the result will be a big hit, and there is a possibility that the continuous notice being executed will not be executed until the end. That is, since it is indefinite whether it is a big hit or a loss, continuous notice is not performed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined whether there is a value that matches the second jackpot value (step S72), if there is no value that matches the second jackpot value (step S72; No), the value that matches the first jackpot value. It is determined whether or not there is (step S73).

  In the determination of whether or not there is a value that matches the first jackpot value (step S73), if there is a value that matches the first jackpot value (step S73; Yes), a process of setting a jackpot continuous notice determination table ( Step S74) is performed, and a process of extracting continuous notice random numbers (step S76) is performed. On the other hand, when it is determined whether there is a value that matches the first big hit value (step S73), if there is no value that matches the first big hit value (step S73; No), there is a value that matches the small hit value. Is determined (step S75). When it is determined whether there is a value that matches the small hit value (step S75), if there is a value that matches the small hit value (step S75; Yes), the process proceeds to step S78, and the continuous notice flag is set. Processing (step S78) is performed. On the other hand, in the determination of whether there is a value that matches the small hit value (step S75), if there is no value that matches the small hit value (step S75; No), that is, if all are out of place, continuous notice is given. The execution decision process is terminated. Thereby, the prior effect means (game control device 30) has decided to execute the prior effect using only the first jackpot value among the jackpot values regardless of the probability state. In addition, when there exists a value which corresponds with the small hit value in step S75 (step S75; Yes), it does not necessarily execute a continuous notice, for example, it performs based on the occurrence rate of the continuous notice set beforehand, for example. May be.

  Next, based on the random number extracted in step S76, it is determined whether or not continuous notice is executed (step S77). In the determination as to whether or not to execute the continuous notice (step S77), it is determined whether or not the continuous notice is executed with reference to the selected table (big hit continuous notice determination table). In the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous notice (step S77), when the continuous notice is not executed (step S77; No), the continuous notice execution determination process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous notice (step S77), if the continuous notice is to be executed (step S77; Yes), a process of setting the continuous notice flag (step S78) is performed, and the first big hit value It is determined whether or not the start memory storing the big hit determination value that coincides with is the first start memory (step S79).

  Next, in the determination of whether or not the start memory storing the big hit determination value that matches the first big hit value is the first start memory (step S79), if it is the first start memory (step S79; Yes), Then, a process of setting the first special figure notice flag (step S80) is performed, and the continuous notice execution determination process is ended. On the other hand, when the start memory in which the big hit determination value that matches the first big hit value is stored is the first start memory (step S79), if it is not the first start memory (step S79; No), The continuous notice execution decision process is terminated. If neither of the first start memory and the second start memory has a big hit determination value that matches the first big hit value, it is determined that the first start memory is not the first start memory (step S79; No). In addition, even if there is a big hit determination value that matches the first big hit value in both the first start memory and the second start memory, it is determined that the first start memory is not the first start memory (step S79; No).

  Next, returning to FIG. 11, it is determined whether there is a continuous notice flag (step S50). The continuous notice flag is set when it is determined that the continuous notice is executed in the above-described continuous notice execution determination process. In the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S50), when there is no continuous notice flag (step S50; No), that is, when the continuous notice is not executed, the continuous notice control process is terminated. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S50), if there is a continuous notice flag (step S50; Yes), that is, if it is decided to execute the continuous notice, the continuous notice number determination process ( Step S51) is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 14, in this continuous notice number determination process, first, it is determined whether or not there is a first special figure notice flag (step S81). The first special figure notice flag is set when there is a start memory storing a big hit determination random number value that matches the first big hit value only in the first start memory in the above-described continuous notice execution determination process. is there. In the determination of whether or not there is the first special figure notice flag (step S81), if there is the first special figure notice flag (step S81; Yes), the big hit determination disorder stored in the first start memory A process of obtaining a numerical value (step S82) is performed, and it is determined whether or not there is a start memory storing a big hit determination random number value that matches the first big hit value in the first start memory (step S84). On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not there is the first special figure notice flag (step S81), if there is no first special figure notice flag (step S81; No), it is for jackpot determination stored in the second start memory. A process of acquiring a random number value (step S83) is performed, and it is determined whether or not there is a start memory storing a big hit determination random value that matches the first big hit value in the second start memory (step S84). When there is no first special figure notice flag (step S81; No), there is a start memory storing a big hit determination random number value that matches the first big hit value in the second start memory, and the first start. The case where there is no jackpot determination value that coincides with the first jackpot value is included in either the memory or the second start memory.

  In the determination (step S84) of whether or not the big hit determination random number value that matches the first jackpot value is stored in the acquired start memory (first start memory or second start memory), it matches the first big hit value. When there is a big hit determination random number value (step S84; Yes), the start memory number up to the start memory in which the big hit determination random number value matching the first big hit value is stored is set in the value of the continuous notice count counter. Processing (step S85) is performed, and the continuous notice count determination processing is terminated. In the process of setting the start memory number up to the start memory in which the big hit determination random number value matching the first big hit value is stored (step S85), the first big hit value is referred to by referring to the first start memory and the second start memory. The number of start memories to be digested in accordance with the digest order is performed until the start memory in which the jackpot determination random number value that matches is stored. This process is a process of the special figure routine process (step S12) in the special figure game branching process shown in FIG. 9, and the subtraction process of the starting memory number is executed after the special figure routine process (step S12). Subtraction is performed in the special figure fluctuation start process 2 (step S14). Therefore, the number of start memories to be set includes the start memory that triggered this process.

  On the other hand, in the determination (step S84) whether the big hit determination random number value that matches the first big hit value is stored in the acquired start memory (the first start memory or the second start memory), the first big hit value If there is no matching jackpot determination random number value (step S84; No), the number of starting memories until the starting storage storing the big hit determination random number value matching the small hit value is set in the value of the continuous notice count counter Is performed (step S86), and the continuous notice count determination process is terminated. In the process of setting the start memory number up to the start memory in which the big hit determination random number value that matches the small hit value is stored (step S86), the first start memory and the second start memory are referred to and matches the small hit value A process for setting the number of start memories to be digested in accordance with the digest order until the start memory in which the jackpot determination random number to be stored is stored is performed.

  Next, returning to FIG. 11, the process of decrementing the value of the continuous notice number counter by 1 (step S52) is performed, and the continuous notice control process is terminated. That is, since the first continuous notice is executed in the special figure variation game based on the start-up memory currently being processed, a process of subtracting that amount from the value of the continuous notice number counter is performed.

  In the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice flag, which is the first process in the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 11 (step S41), if there is a continuous notice flag (step S41; Yes), that is, continuous notice If it is being executed, a process of decrementing the value of the continuous notice counter (step S42) is performed. That is, since the continuous notice is executed in the special figure variation game based on the start memory currently being processed, a process of subtracting the amount from the value of the continuous notice number counter is performed.

  Next, it is determined whether there is a first special figure notice flag (step S43). In the determination of whether or not there is the first special figure notice flag (step S43), if there is no first special figure notice flag (step S43; No), that is, the first big hit value matches the first start memory. If there is no start memory storing the big hit determination random number value, it is determined whether or not the value of the continuous notice count counter is “0” (step S46). In the determination of whether or not there is a first special figure notice flag (step S43), if there is a first special figure notice flag (step S43; No), that is, the first big hit value is only in the first start memory. If there is a start memory storing the matching jackpot determination random value, it is determined whether there is a second start memory (step S44).

  In the determination of whether or not it is a new second start memory (step S44), it is determined whether or not the start memory currently being processed is a second start memory newly stored after the continuous notice flag is set. In the determination of whether or not this is the new second start memory (step S44), if it is not the new second start memory (step S44; No), whether or not the value of the continuous notice count counter is “0”. Is determined (step S46). On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not it is a new second start memory (step S44), if it is a new second start memory (step S44; Yes), a continuous notice change control process (step S45) is performed. Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the continuous notice count counter is “0” (step S46).

  As shown in FIG. 12, in the continuous notice change control process, first, whether or not the second start memory is a win value, that is, whether or not a big hit determination random number value that matches the specific value is stored in the second start memory. (Step S61). In the determination of whether or not the jackpot determination random number value that matches the specific value is stored in the second start memory (step S61), the second start that is currently being stored newly after the continuous notice flag is set. It is determined whether the jackpot determination random number value that matches the specific value is stored in memory, that is, whether it is a jackpot in the variable display game based on the start memory. In the determination of whether or not the jackpot determination random number value that matches the specific value is stored in the second start memory (step S61), the jackpot determination random number value that matches the specific value is not stored in the second start memory In the case (step S61; No), the process of incrementing the value of the continuous notice number counter by 1 (step S62) is performed, the process of setting the continuous notice change flag (step S63) is performed, and the continuous notice change control process is terminated. . When this continuous notice change flag is set, a continuous notice change command is output from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 at the start of the special figure variation display game. As a result, even if the number of games up to the start memory storing the jackpot determination random number value that matches the first jackpot value is increased by the new second start memory that is preferentially digested over the first start memory, it continues. The number of notices can be increased by that amount, and continuous notices can be executed without causing the player to feel uncomfortable. If the continuous notice change flag is set in step S63, the "continuous notice flag" and "first special figure notice flag" are set in the variation pattern setting process (step S37) of the special figure routine process (see FIG. 10). And “continuous notice counter” may be cleared. Thereby, in particular, when the random number value of the first start memory that triggered the start of the continuous notice is “out of place”, it is possible to prevent the player from inadvertently expecting.

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the big hit determination random number value that matches the specific value is stored in the second start memory (step S61), the big hit determination random number value that matches the specific value is stored in the second start memory. If yes (step S61; Yes), a process for clearing the first special figure notice flag (step S64) is performed, and a process for setting the value of the continuous notice number counter to “0” (step S65) is performed. The change control process ends. As a result, when the big hit determination random number value that matches the specific value is stored in the new second start memory that is preferentially digested over the first start memory, the big start determination is stored in the second start memory. Based on this, the final STEP of the continuous notice can be executed to end the continuous effect state, and the continuous notice can be executed without giving the player a sense of incongruity.

  Returning to FIG. 11, when the value of the continuous notice count counter is “0” in the determination of whether or not the value of the continuous notice count is “0” (step S46; Yes), Then, the process of setting the continuous notice end flag (step S47) is performed, the process of clearing the continuous notice flag (step S48) is performed, and the continuous notice control process is ended. In other words, in this case, the final STEP is the continuous advance notice performed in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory currently being processed. On the other hand, if it is determined whether or not the value of the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S46), if the value of the continuous notice number counter is not “0” (step S46; No), the continuous notice control process is performed. finish. That is, in this case, the continuous advance notice performed in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory currently being processed is not the final STEP, but the continuous advance notice is continued even in the special figure change display game based on the start memory to be digested next. Executed.

  Next, returning to FIG. 10, it is determined whether there is a continuous notice change flag (step S33). In the determination of whether or not there is a continuous notice change flag (step S33), if there is a continuous notice change flag (step S33; Yes), a big hit flag setting process (step S35) is performed. In the big hit flag setting process (step S35), a big hit flag is set when the big hit determination random number stored in the start-up memory currently being processed matches the specific value. As the specific value, a predetermined number of first jackpot values are set in the normal probability state, and a second jackpot value different from the first jackpot value and the first jackpot value is set in the high probability state. And after performing this jackpot flag setting process (step S35), a special figure stop symbol setting process (step S36) is performed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined whether there is a continuous notice change flag (step S33), if there is no continuous notice change flag (step S33; No), it is determined whether there is a continuous notice flag (step S34). . When it is determined whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S34), if there is no continuous notice flag (step S34; No), a big hit flag setting process (step S35) is performed. On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S34), if there is a continuous notice flag (step S34; Yes), a special figure stop symbol setting process (step S36) is performed.

  Then, after setting the stop symbol in the special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S36), the variation pattern setting process (step S37) is performed to determine the variation pattern (the variation based on the determination of the second half variation pattern and the first half variation pattern). Time setting). After that, the process of storing the change start information (step S38) is performed, and the special figure routine process is terminated. In the process of storing the change start information (step S38), the special figure process number is changed to 1, and the special figure change start process 2 is selected in the next special figure game branching process (shown in FIG. 9). It becomes like this.

  That is, when the game control device 30 stores a jackpot determination random number value determined to be a specific value in the start storage means (game control device 30), that fact is stored before that. While the variable display game corresponding to the start-up memory is being executed, a prior effect means for executing the effect in advance is provided.

  FIG. 15 shows an example of determining the variation pattern performed in the variation pattern setting process (step S37). In determining the fluctuation pattern, first, the game result (big hit or miss) of the special figure fluctuation display game, the probability state (normal probability state or probability change state) of the special figure fluctuation display game as the current game state, the current game state Based on the operation state (normal operation state or short-time operation state) of the normal variation winning device 7 as, the production state (normal state or continuous notice state) as the current game state, the starting memory number, etc. The latter half of the variation patterns in the game is determined. Then, the first half variation pattern is determined based on the determined second half variation pattern. The second half variation pattern and the first half variation pattern are determined by the game control device 30 by extracting the second half variation pattern determining random value and the first half variation pattern determining random value and comparing them with the determination values stored in the ROM 31b. The

  Here, the first half variation pattern means a variation display mode until the reach state is reached, and the second half variation pattern means a variation display mode after the reach state is reached. This reach state (reach) has a variable display device whose display state can be changed, and the variable display device derives and displays a plurality of display results at different times, and the plurality of display results are determined in advance. In the gaming machine in which the gaming state becomes a gaming state advantageous to the player (special gaming state) in the case where the special result mode is reached, a part of the plurality of display results has not been derived and displayed yet. A display state in which the display result that is derived and displayed satisfies the condition for the special result mode. In other words, the reach state is deviated from the display condition that is the special result mode even when the display of the display result is derived and displayed after the display control of the display device is changed. A display mode that is not. For example, a state where so-called full-rotation reach is performed in a variable display region while maintaining a state in which special result modes are aligned (so-called full rotation reach) is also included in the reach state. The reach state is a display state at the time when the display control of the variable display device progresses and reaches the stage before the display result is derived and displayed, and is determined before the display result is derived and displayed. The display state in the case where at least a part of the display results of the plurality of variable display areas that have been performed satisfies the conditions for the special result mode.

  Thus, for example, a decoration variation display game displayed on the display device 43 corresponding to the special figure variation display game varies a plurality of identification information for a predetermined time in each of the left, middle, and right variation display areas on the display device 43. After displaying, when the display of the result mode is stopped in the order of left, right, and middle, the condition that becomes the special result mode is satisfied in the left and right variable display areas (for example, The fluctuation display mode until the so-called reach state in which the fluctuation display is stopped with the same identification information) becomes the first half fluctuation pattern. In the first half variation pattern, a plurality of patterns (first half variation pattern 1, first half variation pattern 2...) Having different production contents are set.

  Then, the fluctuation display mode after the occurrence of the reach state becomes the latter half fluctuation pattern. This second half variation pattern includes a plurality of reach productions, and the possibility that a special result form is derived (different reliability) includes normal reach, normal long reach (N long reach operation), special reach ( SP reach A operation) is set. However, when the reach state does not occur, the variation display mode of the special figure variation display game is configured such that the latter-half variation pattern has no variation (no latter-half variation), and only the first-half variation pattern.

  The variation display mode of the first-half variation pattern and the second-half variation pattern is not limited to the above. For example, the first-half variation until the reach state occurs and the middle-variable display area that is varying temporarily stops or the low-speed variation starts. A design that can be changed as appropriate, such as a pattern, and a subsequent variation display as a second-half variation pattern, may be used. In addition to this, when the variable display of all the variable display areas is temporarily stopped, the condition that the special result mode is satisfied in any two of the left, middle, and right variable display areas (for example, the same The state that has become the identification information (except for the special result mode) is the reach state, the change display mode so far is the first half change pattern, and the change display mode that displays the remaining one change display area from this reach state is changed. It is good also as a latter half fluctuation pattern.

  For example, in the pattern P1 of FIG. 15, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “out of” and the effect state as the game state is “normal state (state that is not continuous notice)”, the second half The case where the fluctuation pattern is determined as “second half fluctuation pattern 1 (no second half fluctuation)” is shown. In this case, the continuous notice flag, the continuous notice final flag, and the big hit flag are not set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined to be the “first half variation pattern 1” if the total number of starting memories at that time is “1 to 2”. As a result, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 12.00 s, the first half fluctuation is normally stopped, and the second half fluctuation is none (no reach). Also, if the total number of starting memories is “3-4”, the first half variation pattern is determined as “first half variation pattern 2”. As a result, in the fluctuation pattern, the special figure first-half fluctuation time is 7.00 s, the first-half fluctuation is stopped by reducing the fluctuation time, and the second-half fluctuation is absent (no reach).

  Further, in the pattern P2 of FIG. 15, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “big hit” and when the effect state as the game state is “normal state (non-continuous notice state)”, the latter half The case where the fluctuation pattern is determined as “second half fluctuation pattern 22 (normal long reach)” is shown. In this case, the continuous notice flag and the continuous notice final flag are not set, and the jackpot flag is set. In this case, the first-half variation pattern is determined to be one first-half variation pattern selected from a plurality of first-half variation patterns associated with the “second-half variation pattern 22”, regardless of the total number of starting memories at that time. When “first half fluctuation pattern 3” is selected from the plurality of first half fluctuation patterns, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 10.00 s, the first half fluctuation is normally stopped, and the second half fluctuation is a normal long reach operation. Become.

  Further, in the pattern P3 of FIG. 15, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “big hit” and the effect state as the game state is “normal state (state where there is no continuous notice)”, the latter half The case where the fluctuation pattern is determined as “second half fluctuation pattern 31 (special reach A)” is shown. In this case, the continuous notice flag and the continuous notice final flag are not set, and the jackpot flag is set. In this case, the first-half variation pattern is determined to be one first-half variation pattern selected from a plurality of first-half variation patterns associated with the “second-half variation pattern 31” regardless of the total number of starting memories at that time. When “first half fluctuation pattern 3” is selected from the plurality of first half fluctuation patterns, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 10.00 s, the first half fluctuation is normally stopped, and the second half fluctuation is a special reach A operation. Become.

  Further, in the pattern P4 of FIG. 15, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “out of” and the effect state as the game state is “continuous notice state”, the latter half variation pattern is “second half”. The case where it was determined as “variation pattern 1 (no second half variation)” is shown. In this case, the big hit flag is not set and the continuous notice flag is set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined as “first half variation pattern 11”. As a result, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 7.200 s, the first half fluctuation is a continuous notice (other than the final STEP), and the second half fluctuation is none (no reach).

  Further, in the pattern P5 of FIG. 15, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “big hit” and the effect state as the game state is “continuous notice state”, the latter half variation pattern is “second half”. The case where the variation pattern 31 (special reach A) is determined is shown. In this case, the continuous notice end flag and the big hit flag are set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined as “first half variation pattern 12”. As a result, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 7.200 s, the first half fluctuation is a continuous notice (final STEP), and the second half fluctuation is a special reach A operation.

  Further, in the pattern P6 of FIG. 15, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “out of” and the effect state as the game state is “continuous notice state”, the latter half variation pattern is “second half”. The case where it was determined as “variation pattern 1 (no second half variation)” is shown. In this case, the continuous notice variation flag is set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined as “first half variation pattern 13”. As a result, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 7.100 s, the first half fluctuation is continuous notice (cut-in STEP), and the second half fluctuation is none (no reach).

In FIG. 15, for the sake of explanation, some of the distribution patterns of the first half variation pattern are described. However, in actuality, the ROM 31 b stores each second variation pattern, gaming state, and start memory. Each of the first half variation pattern tables corresponding to the total number is stored, and there are also distribution patterns other than those shown here.
Furthermore, when the game result of the special figure fluctuation display game is “big hit”, the latter half fluctuation pattern is determined to be “second half fluctuation pattern 31”, but the game result of the special figure fluctuation display game is “ In the case of “out of”, a pattern in which the latter half fluctuation pattern is determined as “second half fluctuation pattern 31” is also stored, and the game result of the special figure fluctuation display game is “big hit” for other patterns as well. Each of the first half variation pattern tables corresponding to the total of the second half variation pattern, the gaming state, and the starting memory number is stored for each of the cases of “out of”.
In addition, the latter half fluctuation pattern when the game result of the special figure fluctuation display game is “small hit” is a normal long reach (N ring reach) in order to always generate a reach state in the special figure fluctuation display game. The “variation pattern 22” and the “second half variation pattern 31” for performing the special reach A (SP reach A) are stored in association with each other. That is, when the game result of the special figure variable display game is “small hit”, the variable display control means (game control device 30), when the random value stored in the start storage means is the small hit value, This means that the reach state is generated in the variable display game. Note that the reach variation pattern (“second half variation pattern 22”, “second half variation pattern 31”, etc.) set when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “small hit” may be any type, but continuous notice In relation to the performance, it is desirable to set a reach variation pattern with high reliability that is easy to be set when the variation time is long and the game result of the special figure variation display game is “big hit”.

  Then, based on the determined latter half variation pattern and the first half variation pattern, a variation time command (a continuous notice start command, a continuous notice instruction command, a continuous notice change command, a continuous notice end command, etc.) is determined. A change stop command is transmitted from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 when the special figure change display game is stopped, while being transmitted from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 at the start of the special figure change display game. It is like that.

[Continuous notice setting process]
Next, the continuous notice setting process by the production control device 40 will be described. As shown in FIG. 16, in this continuous notice setting process, first, it is determined whether or not a continuous notice start command has been received from the game control device 30 (step S91). The continuous notice start command is a command that is output from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 at the start of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory that is determined to start the continuous notice. In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice start command has been received (step S91), when the continuous notice start command is received (step S91; Yes), a process of extracting a continuous notice effect random number (step S92) is performed.

  Next, a process of selecting the type of continuous notice to be executed (step S93) is performed based on the continuous notice effect random number extracted in step S92. Here, as the type of continuous notice, for example, in addition to the continuous notice by lantern ghosts as shown in FIG. 19, a continuous notice (not shown) by a crocodile neck or a top lab is provided, and one of these is selected. .

  Thereafter, a process of incrementing the value of the continuous notice count monitoring counter by 1 (step S94) is performed, and based on the value of the continuous notice count monitoring counter, which STEP (stage) of the continuous notice is to be performed. A selection process (step S95) is performed, and it is determined whether a continuous notice end command has been received (step S99). Through these processes, one is selected from a plurality of types of continuous notices, and a predetermined effect stage (STEP) is selected as the effect form from the selected continuous notices.

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice start command has been received (step S91), if the continuous notice start command has not been received (step S91; No), it is determined whether or not the continuous notice instruction command has been received. (Step S96) is performed. This continuous notice instruction command is a command that is output from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 at the start of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory that is determined to continue the continuous notice.

  In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice instruction command has been received (step S96), when the continuous notice instruction command is received (step S96; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number monitoring counter is incremented by 1 (step S94). I do. After that, based on the value of the continuous notice count monitoring counter, a selection process (step S95) for selecting which step of the continuous notice is to be performed in the continuous notice is performed. Through these processes, a predetermined stage of production (STEP) that matches the progress of the continuous notice is selected as the production mode. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not a continuous notice end command has been received (step S99).

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice instruction command has been received (step S96), if the continuous notice instruction command has not been received (step S96; No), it is determined whether or not the continuous notice change command has been received. (Step S97) is performed. This continuous advance notice change command is output from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 at the start of the special figure change display game based on the second start memory newly stored during execution of the continuous advance notice. Command.

  In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice change command has been received (step S97), if the continuous notice change command has been received (step S97; Yes), processing for selecting the continuous notice change effect is performed (step S98). Through these processes, the stage for change (STEP) for change is selected as the stage of production. Note that the changing stage selected here is a blocking stage (cut-in display) that inhibits a specific stage having a series (for example, interrupts a story). Note that the changing stage is not limited to such a blocking stage, but may be a second specific stage different from the specific stage having a series.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not a continuous notice end command has been received (step S99). On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice change command has been received (step S97), if the continuous notice change command has not been received (step S97; No), it is determined whether or not the continuous notice end command has been received. (Step S99) is performed.

  In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice end command has been received (step S99), the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 at the start of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory determined to end the continuous notice. It is determined whether or not the continuous notice end command output at the time is received. In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice end command has been received (step S99), if the continuous notice end command has not been received (step S99; No), the continuous notice setting process is terminated.

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice end command has been received (step S99), when the continuous notice end command is received (step S99; Yes), a process of selecting the continuous notice final effect (step S100) is performed. Then, the process of setting the value of the continuous notice count monitoring counter to “0” (step S101) is performed, and the continuous notice setting process is ended. By this process, the last stage of production (STEP) of the continuous notice is selected as the production mode. If another production mode is selected before this process, the final production stage (STEP) of the continuous notice is selected instead of the selected production mode.

  An example of a continuous notice (preliminary effect) executed by the above processing will be described. As shown in FIG. 18, in this example, first of all, the first start memory is stored (both are random numbers for jackpot determination = “out”) and the second start memory is zero. The figure variation display game is being executed. In addition, the effect state as the gaming state at this time is a normal state (a state that is not a continuous notice), and the fluctuation mode of the special figure variable display game is a normal fluctuation (a fluctuation mode that is not a continuous notice). Then, in the middle of the special figure fluctuation display game, there is a winning game ball (big value for jackpot determination = first big hit value (big hit)) at the first start winning opening 13, and then the special figure fluctuation display game ends. In this example, the continuous notice is started from the next special figure variation display game (from T0). The first start memory before the start of the continuous notice is in a state as shown in FIG. 17 (1). In the following description, each first start memory is stored according to the digest order of the first start memory in this state. Identify and explain.

  In T0 of FIG. 18, a process for executing the special figure variation display game is performed for the first start memory having the first digestion order. In this example, execution of continuous notice is determined in the processing here. In the process at this time, it is determined that there is a start-up memory in the special figure ordinary process shown in FIG. 10 (step S31; Yes), and the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 11 is performed. In the continuous notice control process, it is determined that there is no continuous notice flag (step S41; No), and the continuous notice execution determination process shown in FIG. 13 is performed. In the case of this example, it is determined in the continuous notice execution determination process that the continuous notice is executed (step S77; Yes), and the continuous notice flag is set. In addition, since the big hit determination random number value in the first start memory having the fourth digestion order is a value that matches the first big hit value (step S79; Yes), the first special figure notice flag is also set.

  Returning to FIG. 11, since the continuous notice flag is set (step S50; Yes), the continuous notice number determination processing shown in FIG. 14 is performed. In the continuous notice count determination process, the first special figure notice flag is set (step S81; Yes), and there is a start memory in which a first jackpot random number value matching the first jackpot value is stored in the first start memory ( In step S84; Yes), the starting memory number up to the starting memory in which the first big hit value is stored is set as the value of the continuous notice number counter (step S85). At this time, since the big hit determination random number value in the first start memory having the fourth digestion order is a value that matches the first big hit value, the value set in the continuous notice count counter is “4”.

  Returning to FIG. 11, the value of the continuous notice count counter is decremented by 1 (step S52), and the value set in the continuous notice count counter becomes “3”. Returning to FIG. 10, the processing from step S33 to step S38 is performed. At this time, determination of a variation pattern (set of variation pattern command) and setting of a continuous notice start command as shown in FIG. 15 are performed and transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 6). Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the first start memory number is decremented by 1 in the special figure fluctuation start process 2 (step S14) performed after the special figure usual process (step S12), and as shown in FIG. One start memory becomes three pieces.

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, processing relating to the decorative special figure fluctuation display game relating to the special figure fluctuation display game and processing relating to continuous notice in the continuous notice setting processing shown in FIG. 16 are performed. In the process related to the decoration special figure fluctuation display game related to the special figure fluctuation display game, the content of the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is determined based on the received fluctuation pattern command. Further, since the result of the special figure variation display game is out of place, a process of selecting a result form of deviation as a result form is performed. In the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 16, since the continuous notice start command is received (step S91; Yes), the type of continuous notice is selected (here, the continuous notice due to the lantern ghost is selected) and selected. A process of selecting a STEP to be displayed from the continuous notices (in this case, selecting the continuous notice effect of STEP1) is performed.

  Then, in accordance with the execution of the special map variation display game (T0 to T1 in FIG. 18), the decorative special map variation display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decoration special figure fluctuation display game, as shown in FIG. 19 (1), after the notice display 43a of “Lantern ghost” is displayed for a predetermined time as a continuous notice during the fluctuation display of the identification symbol, As shown in 19 (2), the variation display is stopped and the result mode of the deviation is displayed.

[Continuous notice STEP2]
Next, at T1 in FIG. 18, a process for executing the special figure variation display game is performed for the first start memory having the second digestion order. In this process, the continuation of the continuous notice is determined. In the process at this time, it is determined that there is a start-up memory in the special figure ordinary process shown in FIG. 10 (step S31; Yes), and the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 11 is performed. In the continuous notice control process, it is determined that there is a continuous notice flag (step S41; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter is decremented by 1 (step S42), and the value set in the continuous notice number counter is “2”. Become. And although there exists a 1st special figure notice flag (step S43; Yes), the new 2nd starting memory is not memorized (step S44; No), and the value of the continuous notice number counter is not "0" (step) S46; No), returning to FIG. 10, the processing from step S33 to step S38 is performed. At this time, a continuous notice instruction command is set and transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 6). Further, in the special figure variation start process 2 (step S14) shown in FIG. 9, the first start memory number is decremented by 1, so that the first start memory becomes two as shown in FIG.

  Based on the command received from the game control device 30, the effect control device 40 performs processing related to the decorative special map variation display game regarding the special map variation display game and processing related to continuous notification in the continuous notification setting process shown in FIG. 16. In addition, since the result of the special figure variation display game is out of place, a process of selecting a result form of deviation as a result form is performed. In the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 16, there is no continuous notice start command (step S91; No), and the continuous notice instruction command is received (step S96; Yes). (Here, the continuous notice effect of STEP 2 is selected) is performed.

  Then, with the execution of the special figure variation display game (from T1 to T2 in FIG. 18), the decorative special figure variation display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In the decorative special figure fluctuation display game, as shown in FIG. 19 (3), after the notice display 43a of “Lantern ghost” is displayed as a continuous notice during the fluctuation display of the identification symbol, As shown in FIG. 19 (4), the fluctuation display is stopped and the result mode of the deviation is displayed.

  Here, in this example, as shown in FIG. 18, there is a game ball winning (random number for jackpot determination = “out”) to the normal variation winning device 7 between T1 and T2, and the first start memory is 2 And the second start memory becomes one.

[Continuous notice cut-in STEP]
Next, at T2 in FIG. 18, since there is a second start memory that is preferentially digested over the first start memory, a process for executing the special figure variation display game is performed on the second start memory. In this process, it is determined to change the continuous notice. In the process at this time, it is determined that there is a start-up memory in the special figure ordinary process shown in FIG. 10 (step S31; Yes), and the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 11 is performed. In the continuous notice control process, it is determined that there is a continuous notice flag (step S41; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter is decremented by 1 (step S42), and the value set in the continuous notice number counter is “1”. Become. Since there is a first special figure notice flag (step S43; Yes) and a new second start memory is stored (step S44; Yes), the continuous notice change control process shown in FIG. 12 is performed. In the continuous notice change control process, the new jackpot determination random number value in the second start memory does not match the specific value (step S61; No), so the value of the continuous notice number counter is incremented by 1 (step S62). Then, a continuous notice change flag is set (step S63). As a result, the value set in the continuous notice count counter is “2”.

  Returning to FIG. 11, the value of the continuous notice count counter is not “0” (step S46; No), so the process returns to FIG. 10 and the continuous notice change flag is set (step S33; Yes). (Step S35) is performed. Here, since the jackpot determination random number is not a specific value, the jackpot flag is not set, and the processing from step S36 to step S38 is performed thereafter. At this time, a continuous advance notice change command is set and transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 6). Further, in the special figure variation start process 2 (step S14) shown in FIG. 9, the second start memory number is decremented by 1, so that the second start memory becomes zero as shown in FIG.

  Based on the command received from the game control device 30, the effect control device 40 performs processing related to the decorative special map variation display game regarding the special map variation display game and processing related to continuous notification in the continuous notification setting process shown in FIG. 16. In addition, since the result of the special figure variation display game is out of place, a process of selecting a result form of deviation as a result form is performed. In the continuous notice setting process, there is no continuous notice start command (step S91; No), and there is no continuous notice instruction command (step S96; No), but there is a continuous notice change command (step S97; Yes). Then, the process of selecting the STEP to be displayed is performed by the process of selecting the continuous notice change effect (step S98). Here, a second specific effect (continuous notice B) different from the specific effect having a series (continuous notice A) is selected as the stage for change, and the specific effect having a series is selected. An inhibition effect (cut-in display) that inhibits (for example, interrupts a story) is performed.

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure variation display game (from T2 to T3 in FIG. 18), the decorative special figure variation display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decoration special figure fluctuation display game, as shown in FIG. 19 (5), after the notice display 43a of "Lantern ghost" is displayed as a continuous notice during the fluctuation display of the identification symbol, As shown in FIG. 19 (6), the fluctuation display is stopped and the result mode of the deviation is displayed.

[Continuous notice STEP 3]
Next, at T3 in FIG. 18, a process for executing the special figure variation display game is performed for the first start memory having the third digestion order. In this process, the continuation of the continuous notice is determined. Note that the processing here is the same as the above-described continuous notice STEP 2, and as a result, the value set in the continuous notice number counter is “1”, the continuous notice instruction command is set, It is transmitted to the control device 40 (step c in FIG. 6). Further, the first start memory number is subtracted by 1, so that the first start memory becomes one as shown in FIG.

  Based on the command received from the game control device 30, the effect control device 40 performs processing related to the decorative special map variation display game regarding the special map variation display game and processing related to continuous notification in the continuous notification setting process shown in FIG. 16. In addition, since the result of the special figure variation display game is out of place, a process of selecting a result form of deviation as a result form is performed. In the continuous notice setting process, there is no continuous notice start command (step S91; No), and since the continuous notice instruction command is received (step S96; Yes), STEP to be displayed from the continuous notice is selected (here, STEP3). Is selected).

  Then, with the execution of the special figure variation display game (from T3 to T4 in FIG. 18), the decorative special figure variation display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decoration special figure fluctuation display game, as shown in FIG. 19 (7), after the notice display 43a of “Landing ghost (chance!)” Is displayed for a predetermined time as the continuous notice during the fluctuation display of the identification symbol, As shown in 19 (8), the variation display is stopped and the result mode of the deviation is displayed.

[Continuous notice STEP 4]
Next, at T4 in FIG. 18, a process for executing the special figure variation display game is performed for the first start memory having the fourth digestion order. In this process, the end of the continuous notice is determined. In the process at this time, it is determined that there is a start-up memory in the special figure ordinary process shown in FIG. 10 (step S31; Yes), and the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 11 is performed. In the continuous notice control process, it is determined that there is a continuous notice flag (step S41; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter is decremented by 1 (step S42), and the value set in the continuous notice number counter is “0”. Become. And there exists a 1st special figure notice flag (step S43; Yes), and the new 2nd starting memory is not memorize | stored (step S44; No), but the value of a continuous notice number counter is "0" (step) S46; Yes), a continuous notice end flag is set (step S47) and the continuous notice flag is cleared (step S48).

  Returning to FIG. 10, since the continuous notice change flag is not set (step S33; No), but there is no continuous notice flag (step S34; No), the big hit flag setting process (step S35) is performed. Here, since the jackpot determination random number is a specific value, the jackpot flag is set, and then the processing from step S36 to step S38 is performed. At this time, a continuous notice end command is set and transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 6). Further, 1 is subtracted from the first start memory number in the special figure variation start process 2 (step S14) shown in FIG. 9, and the first start memory becomes zero as shown in FIG.

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, processing relating to the decorative special figure fluctuation display game relating to the special figure fluctuation display game and processing relating to continuous notice in the continuous notice setting processing shown in FIG. 16 are performed. In the process related to the decoration special figure fluctuation display game related to the special figure fluctuation display game, the content of the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is determined based on the received fluctuation pattern command. Here, since the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, a process of selecting a big hit result mode (special result mode) is performed as a result mode. In addition, since the reach has a variation pattern, the game is determined to be a decorative special figure variation display game to be reached. In the continuous notice setting process, there is no continuous notice start command (step S91; No), no continuous notice instruction command (step S96; No), and no continuous notice change command (step S97; No). An end command has been received (step S99; Yes). Therefore, the process of selecting the STEP to be displayed (here, selecting the continuous notice effect of STEP 4) is performed by the process of selecting the final notice of the continuous notice (step S100).

  Then, with the execution of the special figure variation display game (T4 to T5 in FIG. 18), the decorative special figure variation display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decoration special figure fluctuation display game, as shown in FIG. 19 (9), after the notice display 43 a of “Lantern ghost (Gekiatsu!)” Is displayed for a predetermined time as a continuous notice during the fluctuation display of the identification symbol. The reach state is displayed as shown in FIG. After that, the variable display is stopped, the special result mode is displayed, and it becomes a big hit and enters a special game state.

  In addition, as described above, the determination of the start of the continuous notice is made in the case where there is a start-up memory in which the big hit determination random number value that matches the first big hit value among the specific values is stored, and in the case where there is the small hit value among the specific values When there is a start-up memory in which the jackpot determination random number value to be stored is stored, it is performed with a predetermined probability. Further, when there is a start memory storing a big hit determination random number value that matches the second big hit value among the specific values, the start of the continuous notice is not determined. In this way, when there is a start memory that is a big hit at the second big hit value, by not determining the start of the continuous notice, it is possible to prevent inconsistencies in the prior performance, and to the player It eliminates issues such as giving distrust, and enables the production of pre-productions that will surely give a sense of expectation.

  In FIG. 20, first, the special start variation display game is executed in a state where three first start memories are stored (both are random numbers for jackpot determination = “out”) and there are zero second start memories. It is in the state. In addition, the effect state as the gaming state at this time is a normal state (a state that is not a continuous notice), and the fluctuation mode of the special figure variable display game is a normal fluctuation (a fluctuation mode that is not a continuous notice). Then, in the middle of the special figure variation display game, there is a winning game ball (big hit determination random value = small hit value) at the first start winning opening 13, and then the special figure fluctuation display game is finished, and the next game An example is shown in which a continuous notice starts from a special figure variation display game.

[Continuous notice step 1]
First, a process for executing the special figure variation display game is performed for the first start memory having the first digestion order. In this example, execution of continuous notice is determined in the processing here. In the process at this time, it is determined that there is a start-up memory in the special figure ordinary process shown in FIG. 10 (step S31; Yes), and the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 11 is performed. In the continuous notice control process, it is determined that there is no continuous notice flag (step S41; No), and the continuous notice execution determination process shown in FIG. 13 is performed. In the case of this example, the continuous notice flag is set in the continuous notice execution determination process (step S78). In addition, since the big hit determination random number value in the first start memory having the fourth digestion order is a value that matches the small hit value (step S79; Yes), the first special figure notice flag is also set.

  Returning to FIG. 11, since the continuous notice flag is set (step S50; Yes), the continuous notice number determination processing shown in FIG. 14 is performed. In the continuous notice count determination process, the first special figure notice flag is set (step S81; Yes), and there is no start memory storing the big hit determination random number value that matches the first big hit value in the first start memory ( In step S84; No), the starting memory number up to the starting memory in which the small hit value is stored is set as the value of the continuous notice number counter (step S85). At this time, since the big hit determination random number value in the first start memory having the fourth digestion order matches the small hit value, the value set in the continuous notice count counter is “4”.

  Returning to FIG. 11, the value of the continuous notice count counter is decremented by 1 (step S52), and the value set in the continuous notice count counter becomes “3”. Returning to FIG. 10, the processing from step S33 to step S38 is performed. At this time, determination of a variation pattern (set of variation pattern command) and setting of a continuous notice start command as shown in FIG. 15 are performed and transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 6). Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the first start memory number is decremented by 1 in the special figure fluctuation start process 2 (step S14) performed after the special figure usual process (step S12), and as shown in FIG. One start memory becomes three pieces.

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, processing relating to the decorative special figure fluctuation display game relating to the special figure fluctuation display game and processing relating to continuous notice in the continuous notice setting processing shown in FIG. 16 are performed. In the process related to the decoration special figure fluctuation display game related to the special figure fluctuation display game, the content of the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is determined based on the received fluctuation pattern command. Further, since the result of the special figure variation display game is out of place, a process of selecting a result form of deviation as a result form is performed. In the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 16, since the continuous notice start command is received (step S91; Yes), the type of continuous notice is selected (here, the continuous notice due to the lantern ghost is selected) and selected. A process of selecting a STEP to be displayed from the continuous notices (in this case, selecting the continuous notice effect of STEP1) is performed. Then, along with the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game, the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is displayed on the display device 43 and the selected continuous notice is displayed.

[Continuous notice step 2]
Next, a process for executing the special figure variation display game is performed for the first start memory having the second digestion order. In this process, the continuation of the continuous notice is determined. In the process at this time, it is determined that there is a start-up memory in the special figure ordinary process shown in FIG. 10 (step S31; Yes), and the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 11 is performed. In the continuous notice control process, it is determined that there is a continuous notice flag (step S41; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter is decremented by 1 (step S42), and the value set in the continuous notice number counter is “2”. Become. And although there exists a 1st special figure notice flag (step S43; Yes), the new 2nd starting memory is not memorized (step S44; No), and the value of the continuous notice number counter is not "0" (step) S46; No), returning to FIG. 10, the processing from step S33 to step S38 is performed. At this time, a continuous notice instruction command is set and transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 6). Further, the first start memory number is decremented by 1 in the special figure change start process 2 (step S14) shown in FIG. 9, and the first start memory becomes two as shown in FIG.

  Based on the command received from the game control device 30, the effect control device 40 performs processing related to the decorative special map variation display game regarding the special map variation display game and processing related to continuous notification in the continuous notification setting process shown in FIG. 16. In addition, since the result of the special figure variation display game is out of place, a process of selecting a result form of deviation as a result form is performed. In the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 16, there is no continuous notice start command (step S91; No), and the continuous notice instruction command is received (step S96; Yes). (Here, the continuous notice effect of STEP 2 is selected) is performed. Then, along with the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game, the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is displayed on the display device 43 and the selected continuous notice is displayed.

[Continuous notice step 3]
Next, a process for executing the special figure variation display game for the first start memory having the third digestion order is performed. In this process, the continuation of the continuous notice is determined. Note that the processing here is the same as the above-described continuous notice step 2, and as a result, the value set in the continuous notice number counter is “1”, and the continuous notice instruction command is set. It is transmitted to the production control device 40 (step c in FIG. 6). Further, the first start memory number is subtracted by 1, so that the first start memory becomes one as shown in FIG.

  Based on the command received from the game control device 30, the effect control device 40 performs processing related to the decorative special map variation display game regarding the special map variation display game and processing related to continuous notification in the continuous notification setting process shown in FIG. 16. In addition, since the result of the special figure variation display game is out of place, a process of selecting a result form of deviation as a result form is performed. In the continuous notice setting process, there is no continuous notice start command (step S91; No), and since the continuous notice instruction command is received (step S96; Yes), STEP to be displayed from the continuous notice is selected (here, STEP3). Is selected). Then, along with the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game, the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is displayed on the display device 43 and the selected continuous notice is displayed.

[Continuous notice step 4]
Next, a process for executing the special figure variation display game for the first start memory having the fourth digestion order is performed. In this process, the end of the continuous notice is determined. In the process at this time, it is determined that there is a start-up memory in the special figure ordinary process shown in FIG. 10 (step S31; Yes), and the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 11 is performed. In the continuous notice control process, it is determined that there is a continuous notice flag (step S41; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter is decremented by 1 (step S42), and the value set in the continuous notice number counter is “0”. Become. And there exists a 1st special figure notice flag (step S43; Yes), and the new 2nd starting memory is not memorize | stored (step S44; No), but the value of a continuous notice number counter is "0" (step) S46; Yes), a continuous notice end flag is set (step S47) and the continuous notice flag is cleared (step S48).

  Returning to FIG. 10, since the continuous notice change flag is not set (step S33; No), but there is no continuous notice flag (step S34; No), the big hit flag setting process (step S35) is performed. Here, since the big hit determination random number value is the small hit value, the big hit flag is set, and then the processing from step S36 to step S38 is performed. At this time, a continuous notice end command is set and transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 6). Further, 1 is subtracted from the first start memory number in the special figure change start process 2 (step S14) shown in FIG. 9, and the first start memory becomes zero as shown in FIG.

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, processing relating to the decorative special figure fluctuation display game relating to the special figure fluctuation display game and processing relating to continuous notice in the continuous notice setting processing shown in FIG. 16 are performed. In the process related to the decoration special figure fluctuation display game related to the special figure fluctuation display game, the content of the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is determined based on the received fluctuation pattern command. Here, since the result of the special figure variation display game is a small hit, processing for selecting the result type of the small hit as the result mode is performed. Therefore, in the case of a small hit, since the reach has a variation pattern, the game is determined to be a decorative special figure variation display game to be reached. In the continuous notice setting process, there is no continuous notice start command (step S91; No), no continuous notice instruction command (step S96; No), and no continuous notice change command (step S97; No). An end command has been received (step S99; Yes). Therefore, the process of selecting the STEP to be displayed (here, selecting the continuous notice effect of STEP 4) is performed by the process of selecting the final notice of the continuous notice (step S100).

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game, the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is displayed on the display device 43 and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decoration special figure fluctuation display game, the reach state is displayed. After that, the change display stops and a small hit state is established, and the open / close door 10a of the special variable prize winning device 10 is opened twice for 0.5 seconds by the big prize opening SOL10b, so that the game balls can flow into the big prize opening. Take control.

  In addition, in FIGS. 21 and 22, when there is a start memory in which a big hit determination random number value that matches the second big hit value among the specific values is stored, the decision to start the continuous notice is not performed. Thus, an example in which a remarkable effect is obtained is shown. In FIG. 21, there are a plurality of first start memories stored in the high probability state (start memory A, start memory B), and the variable display game (first special figure variable display) of FIG. 1 based on the first start memory. A case where a game; a game A and a game B) are executed is shown. Among the plurality of first start memories, the start memory B stores a big hit determination random number value that matches the second big hit value (used only in the high probability state) (in the high probability state). A big hit).

  In this example, before executing the first special figure variation display game (game B) based on the first start memory (start memory B) in which the big hit determination random number value matching the second big hit value is stored, When the start memory (start memory C) is generated and the normal big hit that satisfies the condition for changing the high probability state to the normal probability state occurs in the second special figure variation display game (game C) based on the second start memory, After the big hit, the normal probability state occurs. Therefore, even if the first start memory (start memory B) in which the big hit determination random number value that matches the second big hit value is stored is determined in the normal probability state even if it is stored in the high probability state (first big hit value). Since only the value is used), the first special figure variation display game (game B) based on the first start memory is lost.

  Further, after the special gaming state is ended, the operation state of the normal variable winning device 7 becomes the short-time operation state, and therefore, as shown in FIG. 22, the big hit determination random number value that matches the second big hit value is stored. Before executing the first special figure fluctuation display game (game B) based on one start memory (start memory B), the second special figure fluctuation display game (game D, game E, game F) whose result is a big hit Multiple occurrences are also possible. Also in such a case, when the first special figure variation display game (game B) based on the first start memory in which the jackpot determination random number value that matches the second jackpot value is stored, the probability state becomes the high probability state. Since it is not known which state is the normal probability state, it is unclear whether the result of the first special figure variation display game (game B) will be a big hit or not.

  In the examples shown in FIG. 21 and FIG. 22, when the continuous notice is started assuming that the start memory B is a big hit in a high probability state, there is a possibility that the contents and the result of the continuous notice are inconsistent. In addition, when a big hit based on the second start memory newly generated during the continuous notice occurs, the continuous notice is changed to the final STEP and finished (see FIGS. 11 and 12), and the continuous notice having a series is obtained. I try not to make any contradiction in the story.

  Here, in the continuous notice, there is a continuous notice (highly reliable continuous notice) that is likely to be a big hit if it occurs, or a big hit will always occur if it occurs ( When the continuous notice is performed (selected only when the big hit), the second special figure variation display game based on the second start memory (start memory C and start memories D, E, F) generated after the start of the continuous notice When a big hit occurs in (game C or games D, E, F) and no big hit occurs in the first variable display game (game B) based on the start memory (start memory B) stored at the start of the continuous notice. , It can also cause distrust to the player. That is, there is a possibility that the player may be distrusted by the fact that the jackpot is not generated even though the reliability is high or the continuous notice that the jackpot is confirmed is made.

  However, as in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a pre-effect is started in the case of a jackpot determination random number value that matches the first jackpot value commonly used in the high probability state and the normal probability state (with a predetermined probability). ), It is possible to make a reliable notice that is not affected by the subsequent change in the probability state, and it is possible to prevent the player from feeling distrusted. In addition, since it is possible to make a reliable notice, it is also possible to execute a pre-production (100% notice of advance notice) as a type of continuous notice even in a high probability state. Can be increased.

  In the above description, in the process of setting the starting memory number up to the starting memory in which the jackpot determination random number value that matches the first jackpot value is stored (step S85), the first starting memory and the second starting memory are set. , The number of starting memories to be digested according to the digestion sequence until the starting memory storing the big hit determination random number value that matches the first jackpot value is set. At this time, the number of starting memories to be set is changed. You may let them. For example, a start memory that is a big hit is set by setting the number obtained by subtracting 1 from the number of start memories that are digested in accordance with the digest order until the start memory that stores the big hit determination random number value that matches the first big hit value. The previous notice (processing) may be completed in the previous game. In the special figure fluctuation display game based on the start memory that becomes a big hit, as shown in FIG. 15, since a fluctuation pattern for announcing a big hit such as reach is selected, it is apparently included as a part of the continuous notice. The continuous notice is executed over a plurality of special figure variation display games. That is, over a plurality of special figure variation display games, the variation display corresponding to the start memory stored before the start memory (start memory that becomes a big hit) in which a random value determined to be a specific value is stored. Among the games, in addition to a pre-production between one variable display game, a continuous notice for a pre-production over a plurality of variable display games is also included. Also, by subtracting 2 or more from the number of start memories that are digested according to the digestion order until the start memory that stores the big hit determination random number value that matches the first jackpot value, it is determined that a big hit will occur after several games have been digested. It may be a notice. Further, the continuous notice may be started from the starting memory after the first starting memory is removed.

  From the above, a variable display device (display device 43) capable of displaying a variable display game based on a plurality of identification information and a right to start the variable display game can be stored as a start memory, and for each start memory Based on the start storage means (game control device 30) for extracting and storing the random number value and the earliest start storage stored in the start storage means, the variable display game is started and stored in correspondence with the start storage. If the random value is a predetermined jackpot value, the variable display control means (game control device 30, effect control device) controls the variable display game so that the display result of the variable display game becomes a special display result. 40), and the open / close door 10a of the special variable prize winning device 10 is opened from the closed state based on the fact that the random value stored in the starting storage means is the jackpot value. Conversion control means (game control) for converting the open / close door 10a of the special variable winning device 10 into an open state in a shorter time than the case of the big hit value based on the fact that the random value is a small hit value. While the variable display game corresponding to the start-up memory stored before that is being executed for the device 30, the special winning opening SOL10b) and the predetermined start-up memory stored in the start-up storage means And a pre-production device (game control device 30, production control device 40, display device 43) for executing a pre-production, and the pre-production device has a random number value stored corresponding to the predetermined start-up memory. The preliminary presentation is executed when the big hit value or the small hit value, and the variable display control means is such that the random value stored in the start storage means is the small hit value. If , The fact that so as to generate reach state in the variable display game.

Therefore, the pre-production will occur even if the random value is a small hit value in addition to the big hit value, but in the case of this small hit value, a reach state will occur, so if the pre-production is performed In order to reduce the player's expectation that the reach state will always occur in the variable display game corresponding to the target start memory, and that the reach state will not occur even if a pre-production is performed. Therefore, it is possible to perform a pre-production that can appropriately increase the expectation for the player.
In addition, if the small profit is set so that the profit that the player obtains is small (or there is no need to make a substantial profit), the profit balance between the game store and the player is reduced due to the occurrence of the prior performance. There is no problem of collapse.
In addition, if the reach state is generated in the case of a small hit value, it is also possible to adjust the reach state occurrence rate in advance, so the probability of occurrence of the reach state is more appropriate than forcibly generating the reach state. It is also possible to keep the value.

  Further, a normal probability state in which a random number is determined by a predetermined number of first jackpot values constituting the jackpot value, and the random hit value is configured separately from the first jackpot value and the first jackpot value. In the probability state in any one of a high probability state in which the probability that the display result of the variable display game is the special display result is higher than the normal probability state by determining even a predetermined number of second big hit values Probability variation control means (game control device 30) capable of controlling the variation display game is provided, and the prior effect means determines execution of the prior effect using only the first jackpot value out of the jackpot values regardless of the probability state. It will be to do.

  Therefore, the prior effect means (game control device 30) determines execution of the prior effect using the first jackpot value among the jackpot values regardless of the probability state. That is, since the execution of the pre-production is determined only for the first jackpot value that always determines the special display result in both the normal probability state and the high probability state, the probability state changes while the pre-production is executed. , Which can prevent inconsistencies in the pre-production, and decrease the reliability of the pre-production, eliminate issues such as distrust to the player, and make sure the expectations are high Production can be performed.

<First Modification>
Next, a first modification of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described with reference to FIG. Basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to portions having the same configuration, and the description is omitted, and mainly different portions. explain. The gaming machine of this modification is special in the start memory in the special game state that is executed when the result of the second special figure fluctuation display game based on the second start memory newly generated during the continuous notice is a big hit. A notice is made that there is a start memory in which the result of the figure variation display game is a big hit. In order to enable a prior effect (notice notification) in such a special gaming state, in the gaming machine of this modification, a process of incrementing the value of the continuous notice count counter by 1 in the continuous notice change control process shown in FIG. Only (step S62) and the process of setting the continuous notice change flag (step S63) are performed. That is, even when the result of the second special figure variation display game based on the new second start memory is a big hit, the continuous notice is not ended.

  In FIG. 23 (1), there are a plurality of first start memories stored in the high probability state (start memories G, H, J), and the variable display game (first special memory) of FIG. 1 based on the first start memories. A case where a figure change display game (game G, game H, game J) is executed is shown. Further, among the plurality of first start memories, the start memory J stores a big hit determination random number value that matches the first big hit value (commonly used in the high probability state and the normal probability state) ( It will be a big hit). Then, it is assumed that the continuous notice based on the start memory J being a big hit at the start of the game G is started.

  In this example, before executing the first special figure variation display game (game J) based on the first start memory (start memory J) in which the big hit determination random number value matching the first big hit value is stored, When the second start memory (start memory I) is generated, a special game state that occurs based on the occurrence of a big win in the second special figure variation display game (game I) based on the second start memory (start memory I) In the meantime, a preliminary presentation (notice notification) is made that the start memory J becomes a big hit. In other words, the preliminary presentation means executes the preliminary presentation (notice notification) even in the special gaming state for the start-up memory in which the jackpot determination random value that matches the first jackpot value is stored. Note that in the pre-production (notice notification) performed in the special gaming state, an effect (an effect having a series) of taking over the continuous notice executed in the variable display game before the occurrence of the special gaming state is performed. .

  In other words, the prior effect (notice notification) is started (with a predetermined probability) in the case of a jackpot determination random number value that matches the first jackpot value commonly used in the high probability state and the normal probability state. Therefore, it is possible to make a reliable notice that is not affected by changes in the probability state thereafter, and it is also possible to perform a pre-production (notice notice) in the special gaming state in this way. As a result, even if a big hit occurs in the middle of the pre-production (continuous notice), the pre-production (notification notice) is continuously performed during the big hit, so a novel pre-production (notification notice) is possible. It becomes possible to improve interest and expectation.

  Further, an example similar to the example shown in FIG. 23 (1) is shown in FIG. 23 (2). In this example, there are a plurality of first start memories stored in the high probability state (start memories G, H, I, J), and a special figure variation display game (game G, game H, game based on the first start memories) I, the game J) is shown. Here, among the plurality of first start memories, the start memory J stores a big hit determination random number value that matches the first big hit value (commonly used in the high probability state and the normal probability state). (It will be a big hit). Furthermore, it is assumed that the big hit determination random number value that matches the second big hit value (used only in the high probability state) is stored in the start memory I. In addition to a gaming machine capable of executing the first special figure variation display game and the second special figure variation display game, a gaming machine capable of executing only a single type of special figure variation display game may be used.

  In such a case, since the jackpot determination random number value that matches the second jackpot value (used only in the high probability state) is stored in the start memory I, in the above example, the continuous notice is given at the start of the game G. In such a case as well, as in FIG. 22 (1), it is also possible to make a prior effect (notice notification) that the start memory J is a big hit during the special game state. In other words, the advance effect means can determine the execution of the advance effect (notice notification) before the execution of the variable display game based on the start memory in which the jackpot determination random number value that matches the first jackpot value is stored. It is good also as what performs prior production (notice notification) in a state.

  From the above, the prior effect means (game control device 30), when the random number value determined to be the big hit value or the small hit value is stored in the start storage means (game control device 30), to that effect, Prior production (notification notification) shall be continuously executed across a plurality of variable display games corresponding to a plurality of start memories stored before that, and continuous advance production (notification notification) is performed. When the display result of any one of the plurality of variable display games is a special display result, a special game state advantageous to the player is generated in response to the display of the special display result. In this case, the pre-production (notice notification) is executed.

  Therefore, when the random number value determined to be the big hit value or the small hit value is stored in the start storage means, the prior effect means (game control device 30) stores that fact before that. It is assumed that a pre-effect is continuously executed across a plurality of variable display games corresponding to a plurality of start memories, and a display result of any one of the plurality of variable display games in which the pre-effect is continuously performed is displayed. In the case of a special display result, a pre-effect is executed even during the occurrence of a special gaming state that is advantageous to the player corresponding to the display of the special display result. Even if a special gaming state occurs, the pre-production can be executed without any problem. That is, for example, if a pre-effect is not always executed when a big hit occurs, the pre-effect is continuously performed during the execution of the variable display game, and a big win (a big hit without any pre-effect) occurs during that time. However, in such a case, since the pre-production is continuously performed even during the big hit, it is possible to make a novel pre-production that is not possible in the past and to improve the interest and expectation.

<Second Modification>
Next, a second modification of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described with reference to FIG. Basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to portions having the same configuration, and the description is omitted, and mainly different portions. explain.

  The gaming machine of this modification is configured to perform a variation lottery to the normal probability state for each special figure variation display game executed in the high probability state. This variation lottery is executed by the game control device 30 at the start of the special figure variation display game based on each start memory. For example, a random number value is extracted and compared with a predetermined specific value. If there is a match (falling win), the process of changing the probability state to the normal probability state (falling) is performed. That is, the probability variation control means (game control device 30) includes probability variation lottery control means (game control device 30) that performs a variation lottery to the normal probability state for each variation display game executed in the high probability state. Will be.

  In FIG. 24, there are a plurality of first start memories stored in the high probability state (start memories K, L, M, N), and the start of the first special figure variation display game (game M) based on the start memories M. In some cases, the probability state is changed from the high probability state to the normal probability state by falling down in the random lottery. In this case, for the starting memories K and L, the big hit is determined using the specific values of the high probability state (the first big hit value and the second big hit value), but for the starting memories M and N, the specific value of the normal probability state The big hit is determined using (only the first big hit value). Therefore, even if the jackpot determination random number value that matches the second jackpot value (used only in the high probability state) is stored in the start memory N (winning before the change to the normal probability state) (in the high probability state) If there is a big hit, the result of the first special figure variation display game (game N) based on the start-up memory N is lost.

  For this reason, if the continuous notice (notice notice) is started in the high probability state before the fall winning, assuming that the start memory N is a big hit, there is a possibility that the contents and results of the continuous notice are inconsistent. In particular, in the case of a gaming machine having the function of performing such a random lottery, the player is not notified of the change to the normal probability state and expects that the probability state is a high probability state. In many cases, it is configured to improve the interest of the game by performing such effects. Therefore, if the player is in a state where the probability state is expected to be a high probability state, and if a pre-production (notification notification) in which the reliability is high or the jackpot is confirmed is executed, Since the feeling of expectation is greatly increased, there is a risk of a strong distrust due to a contradiction between the result and the pre-production (notice notification).

  However, as described above, a prior effect (notice notification) is started (with a predetermined probability) in the case of a jackpot determination random number value that matches the first jackpot value commonly used in the high probability state and the normal probability state. Therefore, it is possible to make a reliable notice that is not affected by changes in the probability state thereafter, and to prevent the player from feeling distrustful. In addition, since it is possible to provide a reliable notice, it is also possible to execute a notice of 100% reliability as a type of continuous notice even in a high probability state (notice notice of confirmation of jackpot), which makes the game more interesting. Can be increased.

  In addition, a gaming machine having a function of performing a random lottery, such as the gaming machine of the present modification, a single machine other than a gaming machine capable of executing the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game. The same effect can be achieved even in a gaming machine capable of executing only this kind of special figure variation display game.

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

  The gaming machine of this modification changes to a high probability state after the big hit (all types of big hits or a predetermined type of big hit) ends, and the special figure variation display game is executed a predetermined number of times in the high probability state. The probability state is changed to the normal probability state. In the game control device 30, a process of counting the number of executions is performed every time the special figure variation display game is executed in a high probability state. When the number is digested), the probability state is changed to the normal probability state. That is, the probability variation control means (game control device 30) is a probability variation frequency control means (game control) that changes the probability state to the normal probability state when the variation display game is executed a predetermined number of times in the high probability state. Device 30). If a big hit occurs before the prescribed number of games is consumed in the high probability state, the high probability state ends. However, if the generated big hit satisfies the condition for changing to the high probability state, the high probability state will occur again from the beginning after the big hit (the number of executions of the special figure fluctuation display game that was counted is reset). It is like that.

  In FIG. 25, there are a plurality of first start memories stored in the high probability state (start memories O, P, Q, R), and execution of the first special figure variation display game (game P) based on the start memories P. The case where the number of executions becomes a predetermined number of times and the probability state is changed from the high probability state to the normal probability state is shown. In this case, for the start memories O and P, the big hit is determined using the specific values of the high probability state (the first big hit value and the second big hit value), but for the start memories Q and R, the specific value of the normal probability state The big hit is determined using (only the first big hit value). Therefore, even if the big hit determination random number value that matches the second big hit value (used only in the high probability state) is stored in the start memory R (the big hit is in the high probability state), the start memory R The result of the first special figure variation display game (game R) based on the above will be out of sync.

  For this reason, in a high probability state before the prescribed number of games is exhausted, if the continuous notice (notice notice) is started assuming that the start memory R is a big hit, there is a possibility that the contents and results of the continuous notice are inconsistent. . However, as described above, a prior effect (notice notification) is started (with a predetermined probability) in the case of a jackpot determination random number value that matches the first jackpot value commonly used in the high probability state and the normal probability state. Therefore, it is possible to make a reliable notice that is not affected by changes in the probability state thereafter, and to prevent the player from feeling distrustful. In addition, since it is possible to make a reliable notice, it is also possible to execute a pre-production (100% notice of advance notice) as a type of continuous notice even in a high probability state. Can be increased.

  If the gaming machine has a function of changing the probability state to the normal probability state by digesting the specified number of games like the gaming machine of this modification, the first special figure variation display game and the second special figure variation display game. In addition to the gaming machine that can execute the game, a gaming machine that can execute only a single type of special figure variation display game has the same effect. Moreover, you may combine this modification and the above-mentioned 1st modification.

<Fourth Modification>
Next, a fourth modified example of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. Basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to portions having the same configuration, and the description is omitted, and mainly different portions. explain.

  In the gaming machine of this modification, a new second start memory is generated during continuous notice based on the fact that the first start memory has a start memory storing a random number for jackpot determination that matches the first jackpot value. In such a case, the continuous notice is interrupted. Then, after the second special figure variation display game based on the second start memory is over, the continuous notice is resumed.

  FIG. 26 shows an example of determining the variation pattern in the gaming machine of this modification. In the gaming machine of this modification, in the second special figure variation display game based on the new second start memory shown in the pattern P6 of FIG. 15, there is no variation pattern for selecting cut-in STEP as the continuous notice, instead the pattern P7 to P9 are set.

  In the pattern P7 of FIG. 26, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “out of” and the effect state as the game state is “continuous notice interruption state”, the latter half variation pattern is “second half variation”. The case where it was determined to be “pattern 1 (no second half fluctuation)” is shown. In this case, the continuous notice variation flag is set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined as “first half variation pattern 21”. As a result, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 10.000 s, the first half fluctuation is normally stopped, and the second half fluctuation is none (no reach).

  Further, in the pattern P8 of FIG. 26, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “out of” and the effect state as the game state is “continuous notice interruption state”, the latter half variation pattern is “ The case where it was determined to be “the latter half fluctuation pattern 22 (normal long reach)” is shown. In this case, the continuous notice variation flag is set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined as “first half variation pattern 22”. Thus, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 10.000 s, the first half fluctuation is normally stopped, and the second half fluctuation is a normal long reach operation.

  Further, in the pattern P9 of FIG. 26, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “out of” and the effect state as the game state is “continuous notice interruption state”, the latter half variation pattern is “ The case where it was determined to be the latter-half fluctuation pattern 31 (special reach A) is shown. In this case, the continuous notice variation flag is set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined as “first half variation pattern 23”. As a result, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 10.000 s, the first half fluctuation is normally stopped, and the second half fluctuation is a special reach A operation.

  27 and 28 show an example of continuous notice executed by the gaming machine of this modification. This example is an example under the same conditions as the example of the continuous notice shown in FIG. 18, and basically the same processing is performed. Therefore, the processing from T2 to T3 in FIG. Will be described.

  Since there is a second start memory that is preferentially digested over the first start memory at T2 in FIG. 27, the game control device 30 performs a process for executing the special figure variation display game on the second start memory. Then, a continuous notice change command is output to the production control device 40. In the effect control device 40, in the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 16, based on the reception of the continuous notice change command (step S97; Yes), the process of selecting the continuous notice change effect is performed (step S98). In the process of selecting the continuous notice change effect (step S98), a process of selecting and determining one of the change patterns in the continuous notice interruption state shown as an example in patterns P7 to P9 in FIG. 26 as the change pattern. Done.

  And the production | presentation control apparatus 40 displays a decoration special figure fluctuation display game on the display apparatus 43 with execution (T2 to T3 of FIG. 27) of a special figure fluctuation display game. FIGS. 28 (5) and 28 (6) show an example in which the pattern P7 is selected as the variation pattern. In this decoration special figure fluctuation display game, as shown in FIG. 28 (5), for example, a new display window 43b is displayed on the display device 43, and the decoration special figure fluctuation display game (second display) is displayed in the display window 43b. Special figure variation display game) is performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 28 (6), the fluctuation display in the display window 43b is stopped and the result mode of the deviation is displayed. That is, the continuous notice effect is a state in which the continuous notice A of STEP 2 performed by receiving the continuous notice instruction command from the game control device 30 at the timing of time T1 is finished (FIG. 28 (4)), Become.

  Thereafter, at T3 in FIG. 27, since there is no second start memory, a process for executing the special figure variation display game is performed for the first start memory, and a continuous notice instruction command is output to the effect control device 40. Is done. In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, in the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 16, the process related to the continuous notice is performed, and STEP to be displayed is selected from the continuous notice. At this time, the STEP following the interrupted continuous notice is selected (here, the continuous notice effect of STEP 3 is selected). Thereby, as shown in FIG. 28 (7), the continuous notice is resumed.

  Through the processing as described above, the execution control of the second special figure variation display game based on the second start memory is interrupted by the continuous effect state of the first special figure fluctuation display game, so that When the continuous effect state is interrupted, and the continuous effect state of the first special figure variation display game is resumed after the interruption, the continuous effect state can be resumed from the point of interruption.

  In addition, as described above, when the big hit determination random number value that matches the specific value is stored in the new second start memory during execution of the continuous notice, the big start determination is based on the second start memory. The final STEP of the continuous notice is executed and the continuous effect state can be ended.

  In the above-described continuous notice effect, the appearance of the effect symbol may be related. Specifically, for example, as shown in (2), (4), (6), (8), and (10) of FIG. 28, the left symbol in each STEP of continuous notice is counted down by one ("7" → “6” → “5” → “4” → “3”). Thereby, it can alert | report suitably that it is in a continuous notice state with respect to a player.

  Also, when resuming the continuous notice, the continuous production state is not resumed from the place where it was interrupted (stage), but is resumed from the stage where the continuous production progressed more than the place where it was interrupted (previous STEP) It is also good. In this way, the production STEP can be skipped and executed, and the player can recognize that the law of the continuous production state has broken, and the player has a sense of expectation for the big hit. You can make it.

Second Embodiment
Next, the gaming machine of the second embodiment will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to portions having the same configuration, description thereof is omitted, and mainly different. The part will be described. In the gaming machine of this modification, a new second start memory is generated during continuous notice based on the fact that the first start memory has a start memory storing a random number for jackpot determination that matches the first jackpot value. In this case, the continuous notice is switched to the continuous notice for the occurrence of the big hit of the second special figure fluctuation display game.

[Special figure routine processing]
As shown in FIG. 29, the special figure routine process in the gaming machine of the present embodiment is a determination as to whether or not there is a continuous notice change flag in the special chart routine process in the gaming machine of the first embodiment shown in FIG. (Step S33) is omitted.

[Continuous notice change control processing]
As shown in FIG. 30, in the continuous notice change control process in the gaming machine of this embodiment, first, it is determined whether or not the second start memory is a winning value (step S61). In the determination of whether or not the second start memory is a win value (step S61), if the second start memory is a win value (step S61; Yes), a process of clearing the first special figure notice flag (step S61; Yes) Step S64) is performed. Then, a process of setting the value of the continuous notice number counter to “0” (step S65), a process of setting a continuous notice change flag (step S63), and a continuous notice change control process are ended. By setting the value of the continuous notice count counter to “0”, the special figure variation display game based on the start memory currently being processed is switched to the last variation display game in the continuous effect state.

  On the other hand, if the second start memory is not a winning value (step S61; No), a process of obtaining a value obtained by subtracting 1 from the newly stored second start memory number (step S110) is performed. Then, it is determined whether or not the value acquired in step S110 is greater than 0 (step S111). That is, it is determined whether two or more second start memories have occurred between the last start memory process and the current start memory process. In the determination as to whether or not the value acquired in step S110 is greater than 0 (step S111), if it is greater than 0 (step S111; Yes), that is, if two or more second startup memories have occurred. Performs the process (step S112) of setting the value of the continuous notice counter to the value acquired in step S110. That is, by changing the value of the continuous notice count counter, the continuous notice is ended in the second special figure variation display game based on the newly stored second start memory. Then, a process of setting a continuous notice change flag (step S63) is performed, and the continuous notice change control process is terminated. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the value acquired in step S110 is greater than 0 (step S111), if it is not greater than 0 (step S111; No), that is, if one second start-up memory has occurred, A process of setting a continuous notice change flag (step S63) is performed, and the continuous notice change control process is terminated.

  When a plurality of new second start memories are generated by such processing, the start memory target for execution of the continuous notice is switched to the new second start memories. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the continuous notice from continuing for a long time.

  Even when one second start memory is generated, the process of incrementing the continuous notice number counter shown in FIG. 12 by 1 (step S62) is not performed, so that the continuous notice is not extended and the continuous notice is extended for a long time. It can be prevented from continuing. When one second start memory is generated, the continuous notice number counter shown in FIG. 12 may be incremented by 1 (step S62), and the continuous notice may be extended.

  FIG. 31 shows an example of determining the variation pattern in the gaming machine of the present embodiment. In the gaming machine of this modification, in the second special figure variation display game based on the new second start memory shown in the pattern P6 of FIG. 15, there is no variation pattern for selecting cut-in STEP as a continuous notice. Yes. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment, the execution control of the second special figure variation display game based on the second start memory is interrupted to the continuous effect state of the first special figure variation display game, and the target start memory is stored. Even in the case of switching, in order to continue the preliminary notice of the first special figure fluctuation display game, in the second special figure fluctuation display game, “first half fluctuation pattern 13 (special figure first half fluctuation time = 7.100 s, first half fluctuation ⇒ "Continuous notice (Cut-in STEP))" is not set.

Next, processing performed by the production control device 40 in the gaming machine of this embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 32, in the continuous notice setting process in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a process of selecting a continuous notice change effect in the continuous notice setting process in the gaming machine of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 16 (step S98). ), A continuous switching notice selection process (step S120) is performed.

[Switching continuous notice selection process]
As shown in FIG. 33, in the continuous switching notice selection process, first, an effect selection random number extraction process (step S121) is performed, and it is determined whether or not the extracted effect selection random number is a winning value (step S122). . Specifically, for example, a determination table as shown in FIG. 34 (1) is stored in the ROM 40b of the effect control device 40. If the extracted effect selection random number is “0 to 9”, the winning value is determined. On the other hand, if the extracted effect selection random number is “10 to 19”, it is determined as an outlier.

  In the determination of whether or not the extracted effect selection random number is a winning value (step S122), if the extracted effect selection random number is a winning value (step S122; Yes), continuous based on the continuous notice count monitoring counter. A process of selecting an effect (step S123) is performed, a process of incrementing the continuous notice count monitoring counter by 1 (step S125), and the switching continuous notice selection process is completed. Specifically, for example, a selection effect table as shown in FIG. 34 (2) is stored in the ROM 40b of the effect control device 40, and each selection effect is displayed in the continuous notice count monitoring counter values (1 to 3). (Continuous notice STEPs 2 to 4 effects) are set in association with each other, and a continuous effect is selected in this selection effect table with reference to the value of the continuous notice count monitoring counter.

  On the other hand, if the extracted effect selection random number is not the winning value in the determination of whether or not the extracted effect selecting random number is the winning value (step S122), the process of selecting the cut-in effect is selected. (Step S124) is performed, a process of incrementing the continuous notice count monitoring counter by 1 (Step S125) is performed, and the switching continuous notice selection process is terminated. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 38 (5), an inhibition effect (cut-in display) that inhibits a specific effect having a series (for example, interrupts a story) is selected.

  In the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 32, when the continuous notice change command is received and the continuous notice end command is received, the continuous notice final effect selection process (step S100) is the switching continuous notice selection process. The selected performance is maintained.

  FIG. 35 shows an example of continuous notice executed by the gaming machine of this embodiment. Note that this example is an example under substantially the same conditions as the example of the continuous notice shown in FIG. 18, but there are two second start memories newly generated between T1 and T2, and the second stored stored after that. 2 The result of the second special figure variation display game based on the start memory is assumed to be a big hit. Hereinafter, processing from T2 to T4 in FIG. 35 which is different from the example in FIG. 18 will be mainly described.

  The game control device 30 has a second start memory that is preferentially digested over the first start memory at T2 in FIG. 35, and performs a process for executing the special figure variation display game on the second start memory. . Note that the jackpot determination random number stored in the second start-up memory does not match the specific value (is out of place).

  In the process at this time, it is determined that the start-up memory is present (step S31; Yes) in the special figure normal process (see FIG. 29), and the continuous notice control process (see FIG. 11) is performed. In the continuous notice control process, it is determined that there is a continuous notice flag (step S41; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter is decremented by 1 (step S42), and the value set in the continuous notice number counter is “1”. Become. Since there is a first special figure notice flag (step S43; Yes) and a new second start-up memory is stored (step S44; Yes), the continuous notice change control process shown in FIG. 30 is performed.

  In the continuous notice change control process, since the new jackpot determination random number value in the second start memory does not match the specified value (is out of step) (step S61; No), the newly stored second start memory number (here) Then, a value obtained by subtracting 1 from 2) (that is, 1) is acquired (step S110). Since this value is larger than 0 (step S111; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter is set to the acquired value (here, 1) (step S112), and the continuous notice change flag is set (step S63). Then, the process returns to the continuous notice control process (see FIG. 11), and the value of the continuous notice number counter is not “0” (step S46; No), so the process returns to the special figure routine process of FIG. 29 and the continuous notice flag is set. (Step S34; Yes), the processing from Step S36 to Step S38 is performed. At this time, the continuous notice change command is set based on the continuous notice change flag, and is transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 6). Further, in the special figure variation start process 2 (step S14) shown in FIG. 9, the second start memory number is decremented by 1, so that the second start memory becomes one as shown in FIG.

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, a process related to the decorative special figure change display game related to the special figure change display game and a process related to continuous notice in the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. In the process related to the decoration special figure fluctuation display game related to the special figure fluctuation display game, the content of the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is determined based on the received fluctuation pattern command. Here, since the result of the special figure variation display game is out of place, a process for selecting a result form (special result form) of deviation as a result form is performed. In the continuous notice setting process, there is no continuous notice start command (step S91; No), and there is no continuous notice instruction command (step S96; No), but the continuous notice change command is received (step S97; Yes). Therefore, the switching continuous notice selection process shown in FIG. 33 is performed.

  In the switching continuous notice selection process, an effect selection random number is extracted (step S121). In this example, a random effect that is a winning value is extracted (step S122; Yes), and a continuous effect is selected based on the continuous notice number monitoring counter. (Step S123). Here, since the continuous notice count monitoring counter value is “2”, the “continuous notice STEP 3 effect” associated with the continuous notice count monitoring counter value “2” based on the selected effect table (FIG. 34 (2)). Select. Then, by incrementing the continuous notice count monitoring counter by 1 (step S125), the value of the continuous notice count monitoring counter is changed to “3”.

  Then, with the execution of the special figure variation display game (T2 to T3 in FIG. 35), the decorative special figure variation display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decoration special figure fluctuation display game, as shown in FIG. 36 (5), after the notice display 43a of “Lantern ghost (chance!)” Is displayed for a predetermined time as a continuous notice during the fluctuation display of the identification symbol, As shown in 36 (6), the variation display is stopped and the result mode of the deviation is displayed.

  The game control device 30 has a second start memory that is preferentially digested over the first start memory at T3 in FIG. 35, and performs processing for executing the special figure variation display game with respect to the second start memory. . The jackpot determination random number value stored in the second start-up memory matches the specific value (a jackpot).

  In the process at this time, it is determined that the start-up memory is present (step S31; Yes) in the special figure normal process (see FIG. 29), and the continuous notice control process (see FIG. 11) is performed. In the continuous notice control process, it is determined that there is a continuous notice flag (step S41; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter is decremented by 1 (step S42), and the value set in the continuous notice number counter is “0”. Become. Since there is a first special figure notice flag (step S43; Yes) and a new second start-up memory is stored (step S44; Yes), the continuous notice change control process shown in FIG. 30 is performed. In the continuous notice change control process, since the new random number for determining the big hit in the second start memory coincides with the specific value (a big hit) (step S61; Yes), the first special figure notice flag is cleared (step S64). ), The value of the continuous notice counter is set to 0 (step S65). Further, a continuous notice change flag is set (step S63).

  Then, returning to the continuous notice control process (see FIG. 11), the value of the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S46; Yes), so the continuous notice end flag is set (step S47) and the continuous notice flag is set. Clear (step S48). Returning to the special routine routine in FIG. 29, since there is no continuous notice flag (step S34; No), a big hit flag is set (step S35) and a command is set. At this time, the continuous notice end command is set based on the fact that the continuous notice end flag is set. Further, a continuous notice change command is also set based on the fact that the continuous notice change flag is set, and is transmitted later to the effect control device 40 (step c in FIG. 6).

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, a process related to the decorative special figure change display game related to the special figure change display game and a process related to continuous notice in the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. In the process related to the decoration special figure fluctuation display game related to the special figure fluctuation display game, the content of the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is determined based on the received fluctuation pattern command. Here, since the result of the special figure variation display game is out of place, a process for selecting a result form (special result form) of deviation as a result form is performed. In the continuous notice setting process, there is no continuous notice start command (step S91; No), and there is no continuous notice instruction command (step S96; No), but the continuous notice change command is received (step S97; Yes). Therefore, the switching continuous notice selection process shown in FIG. 33 is performed.

  In the switching continuous notice selection process, an effect selection random number is extracted (step S121). In this example, a random effect that is a winning value is extracted (step S122; Yes), and a continuous effect is selected based on the continuous notice number monitoring counter. (Step S123). Here, since the continuous notice count monitoring counter value is “3”, “continuous notice STEP 4 effect” associated with the continuous notice count monitoring counter value “3” based on the selected effect table (FIG. 34 (2)). Select. Then, by incrementing the continuous notice count monitoring counter by 1 (step S125), the value of the continuous notice count monitoring counter is changed to “4”. Thereafter, in the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 32, since a continuous notice end command is received (step S99; Yes), a process of selecting a continuous notice final effect (step S100) is performed. Here, since the effect is switched by the switching continuous notice selection process, the effect selected in the switching continuous notice selection process is maintained. Further, the value of the continuous notice count monitoring counter is cleared (step S101).

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure variation display game (from T3 to T4 in FIG. 35), the decorative special figure variation display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this special display variation display game, as shown in FIG. 36 (7), after the notification display 43 a of “Lantern ghost (super hot!)” Is displayed for a predetermined time as a continuous notification during the variation display of the identification symbol. The reach state is displayed as shown in FIG. After that, the variable display is stopped, the special result mode is displayed, and it becomes a big hit and enters a special game state.

  That is, when a new second start memory is generated during execution of a continuous notice based on the fact that the first start memory has a start memory storing a jackpot determination random number value that matches the first jackpot value, the continuous notice is issued. Is switched to the continuous notice for the occurrence of the big hit of the second special figure fluctuation display game. Further, continuous notice having a series is continuously executed before and after switching.

  FIG. 37 shows another example of the continuous notice executed by the gaming machine of the present embodiment. This example is an example under substantially the same conditions as the example of the continuous notice shown in FIG. 35, and there are two second start memories newly generated between T1 and T2, and the second stored later is stored. This is an example in which the result of the second special figure variation display game based on the start memory is a big hit. In the following, processing from T2 to T4 in FIG. 37 which is different from the example in FIG. 35 will be mainly described.

  The game control device 30 transmits a continuous notice change command to the effect control device 40 at T2 in FIG. In the production control device 40, in the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 32, there is no continuous notice start command (step S91; No), and there is no continuous notice instruction command (step S96; No), but the continuous notice change command is received. (Step S97; Yes), the switching continuous notice selection process shown in FIG. 33 is performed.

  In the continuous switching notice selection process, an effect selection random number is extracted (step S121). In this example, a random number that is an outlier is extracted (step S122; No), and a cut-in effect is selected (step S124). Then, by incrementing the continuous notice count monitoring counter by 1 (step S125), the value of the continuous notice count monitoring counter is changed to “3”.

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure variation display game (from T2 to T3 in FIG. 37), the decorative special figure variation display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decorative special figure fluctuation display game, as shown in FIG. 38 (5), after the notice display 43a of “Lantern ghost” is displayed for a predetermined time as a continuous notice during the fluctuation display of the identification symbol, As shown in FIG. 38 (6), the variation display is stopped and the result mode of the deviation is displayed.

  The game control device 30 transmits a continuous notice change command and a continuous notice end command to the effect control device 40 at T3 in FIG. In the production control device 40, in the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 32, there is no continuous notice start command (step S91; No), and there is no continuous notice instruction command (step S96; No), but the continuous notice change command is received. (Step S97; Yes), the switching continuous notice selection process shown in FIG. 33 is performed.

  In the continuous switching notice selection process, an effect selection random number is extracted (step S121). In this example, a random number that is an outlier is extracted (step S122; No), and a cut-in effect is selected (step S124). Then, by incrementing the continuous notice count monitoring counter by 1 (step S125), the value of the continuous notice count monitoring counter is changed to “4”. Thereafter, in the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 32, since a continuous notice end command is received (step S99; Yes), a process of selecting a continuous notice final effect (step S100) is performed. Here, since the effect is switched by the switching continuous notice selection process, the effect selected in the switching continuous notice selection process is maintained. Further, the value of the continuous notice count monitoring counter is cleared (step S101).

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure variation display game (T3 to T4 in FIG. 37), the special special figure variation display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decoration special figure fluctuation display game, as shown in FIG. 38 (7), a notice display 43a of “Lantern ghost” is displayed for a predetermined time as a continuous notice during the fluctuation display of the identification symbol. Thereafter, the reach state is displayed as shown in FIG. Then, the variable display is stopped, the special result mode is displayed, and it becomes a big hit and enters a special game state.

  Even if the execution control of the second special figure fluctuation display game based on the second start memory is interrupted in the continuous effect state of the first special figure fluctuation display game and the target start memory is switched by the above processing. The continuous notice of the first special figure variation display game can be continuously executed. Moreover, even if the cut-in effect is executed with continuous notice, there is a possibility that it will be a big hit, so that the player can have a sense of expectation and the interest can be improved.

  In the present embodiment example, the two effect selection random numbers extracted in step S121 based on the two game balls won in the normal variation winning device 7 are both “winning value” and both are “outliers”. However, a combination in which one is a “outlier value” and the other is a “hit value” can be generated.

<Third Embodiment>
Next, the gaming machine of the third embodiment will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to portions having the same configuration, description thereof is omitted, and mainly different. The part will be described. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a new second start memory is generated during continuous notice based on the fact that there is a start memory storing a big hit determination random number value that matches the first big hit value in the first start memory. When the result of the second special figure variation display game based on the second start memory is a big hit, the continuous notice is ended. In addition, a pseudo-ream is executed in the special figure variation display game at the end of the continuous notice, and the continuous notice is executed, and all the continuous notices scheduled to be executed are executed. Here, the quasi-ream is one in which at least one re-variable display is performed in which a variable display is started again after a temporary stop in a result form other than the special result form in the decorative special figure change display game in the middle of the special figure change display game. It is. In other words, in the middle of the special figure variation display game, the unit variation display that is stopped after the plurality of identification information is displayed in a variation for a predetermined time in the decoration special figure variation display game is performed two or more times, resulting in a result mode. Is derived.

[Continuous notice control processing]
As shown in FIG. 39, the continuous notice control process in the gaming machine of the present embodiment is a process of setting a continuous notice end flag in the continuous notice control process in the gaming machine of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 11 (step S47). ), A process of setting a continuous notice end flag based on the pseudo continuous notice flag (step S130) is performed.

[Continuous notice change control processing]
Further, as shown in FIG. 40, the continuous notice change control process in the gaming machine of the present embodiment is a new second in comparison with the continuous notice change control process in the gaming machine of the first embodiment shown in FIG. When determining whether or not the big hit determination random number value matching the specific value is stored in the start memory (step S61), if the big hit determination random number value matching the specific value is stored (step S61; Yes) The processing is different. In the case where the jackpot determination random number value that matches the specific value is stored (step S61; Yes), the process of obtaining the value of the continuous notice number counter (step S140) is performed, and the remaining number of the continuous notice number counter is obtained. Based on the value, a process of selecting a pseudo-continuous notice flag (step S141) is performed. Thereafter, a process of clearing the first special figure notice flag (step S64) is performed, a process of setting the value of the continuous notice number counter to “0” (step S65) is performed, and the continuous notice change control process is ended. Based on the pseudo continuous notice flag set here, the pseudo continuous effect is executed as will be described later.

  FIG. 41 shows an example of determining the variation pattern in the gaming machine of the present embodiment. In the gaming machine of this modification, in the second special figure variation display game based on the new second start memory shown in the pattern P6 (see FIG. 15), there is no variation pattern for selecting the cut-in STEP as the continuous notice. Has been. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a pattern P10 is set as a variation pattern of the second special figure variation display game based on the new second start memory generated during the continuous notice.

  In the pattern P10 of FIG. 41, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “big hit” and the effect state as the gaming state is “continuous notice state”, the latter half variation pattern is “second half variation pattern”. 31 (special reach A) ”is shown. In this case, the pseudo continuous notice fluctuation flag is set. In this case, the first half variation pattern performs a “first half variation pattern 31” that performs a pseudo-continuation from STEP 2 to STEP 4, a “first half variation pattern 32” that performs a pseudo-continuation from STEPs 3 to 4, and a pseudo-continuation of STEP 4 (final STEP). One of the “first half variation pattern 33” is selected. Note that the “first half variation pattern 33” performs only the effect of STEP 4 (final STEP), but performs the same effect (display, audio, etc.) as the other pseudo-continuous effects, and is therefore one of the pseudo-reams. .

  Each of the first half variation patterns is selected based on the remaining value of the continuous notice number counter when the new second start memory becomes a big hit. Specifically, when the remaining value is “2”, the “first half variation pattern 31”, when the remaining value is “1”, the “first half variation pattern 32”, and when the remaining value is “0”, the “first half variation pattern 31”. The variation pattern 33 ”is selected.

FIG. 42 shows an example of continuous notice executed by the gaming machine of this embodiment.
This example is an example under substantially the same conditions as the example of the continuous notice shown in FIG. 18, but the result of the second special figure variation display game based on the second start memory newly generated during the continuous notice is a big hit. It is supposed to be. Hereinafter, the same processing is omitted, and the processing from T2 to T3 in FIG. 42 which is different from FIG. 18 will be mainly described.

  The game control device 30 has a second start memory that is preferentially digested over the first start memory at T2 in FIG. 42, and performs processing for executing the special figure variation display game with respect to the second start memory. . In the process at this time, it is determined that there is a start memory in the special figure normal process (see FIG. 10) (step S31; Yes), and the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 39 is performed. In the continuous notice control process, it is determined that there is a continuous notice flag (step S41; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter is decremented by 1 (step S42), and the value set in the continuous notice number counter is “1”. Become. Since there is a first special figure notice flag (step S43; Yes) and a new second start-up memory is stored (step S44; Yes), the continuous notice change control process shown in FIG. 40 is performed. In the continuous notice change control process, the new random number for jackpot determination in the second start memory coincides with the specific value (is a big hit) (step S61; Yes), so the value of the continuous notice count counter (here, 1) is set. Obtaining (step S140), and selecting the pseudo continuous notice flag based on the remaining value of the continuous notice number counter (step S141). Here, since the value of the continuous notice count counter is “1”, “first half fluctuation pattern 32” associated with “second half fluctuation pattern 31” is selected, and the corresponding pseudo continuous notice flag is set. Thereafter, the first special figure notice flag is cleared (step S64), and the value of the continuous notice counter is set to 0 (step S65).

  Then, returning to the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 39, the value of the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S46; Yes), so the continuous notice end flag is set based on the pseudo continuous notice flag (step S130). At the same time, the continuous notice flag is cleared (step S48). Then, in the special figure routine processing (see FIG. 10), the big hit flag is set (step S35) and the continuous notice end command is set based on the continuous notice end flag, and these pieces of information are transmitted to the effect control device 40 later. (Step c in FIG. 6).

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, processing relating to the decorative special figure fluctuation display game relating to the special figure fluctuation display game and processing relating to continuous notice in the continuous notice setting processing shown in FIG. 16 are performed. In the process related to the decoration special figure fluctuation display game related to the special figure fluctuation display game, the content of the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is determined based on the received fluctuation pattern command. Here, since the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, a process of selecting a big hit result mode (special result mode) is performed as a result mode. In the continuous notice setting process, there is no continuous notice start command (step S91; No), no continuous notice instruction command (step S96; No), and no continuous notice change command (step S97; No). An end command has been received (step S99; Yes). Therefore, the process of selecting the STEP to be displayed is performed by the process of selecting the continuous notice final effect (step S100). Here, in the game control device 30, the “first half variation pattern 32” associated with the “second half variation pattern 31” shown in the pattern P10 shown in FIG. 41 is selected as the variation pattern. An effect for executing STEPs 3 and 4 of continuous notice A, which is a continuous notice effect for pseudo continuous use, is selected as the notice final effect.

  Then, with the execution of the special figure variation display game (from T2 to T3 in FIG. 42), the decorative special figure variation display game is displayed on the display device 43 and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decoration special figure fluctuation display game, the unit fluctuation display which stops after the plural identification information is fluctuated and displayed for a predetermined time as a quasi-continuous is repeated twice, and STEP3 and STEP4 of the continuous notice are executed corresponding to the unit fluctuation display. The That is, the display of (7) to (10) in FIG. 19 is executed in the special figure fluctuation display game based on one start memory, as if the special figure fluctuation display game is executed twice, and the continuous notice is executed twice. Fluctuation display as if it were performed is executed. After that, the variable display is stopped, the special result mode is displayed, and it becomes a big hit and enters a special game state.

  Thus, according to the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the third embodiment, the execution control of the second special figure fluctuation display game based on the second start memory newly generated during the continuous notice is performed in the first special figure fluctuation display game. In the case where the continuous production state is interrupted, it is possible to prevent the advance notice due to the continuous production from being lost. In other words, in the second special figure variation display game that is a big hit, all the unexecuted continuous notices are executed so as to be continued to the already executed continuous notices. It is possible to prevent the player from feeling distrust that a defect or the like has occurred, and to execute an interesting game by executing the specific effect in the pseudo continuous effect state. Further, when the special game state (big hit) is generated based on the result mode of the second special figure variation display game, the continuous performance state can be ended, and therefore it is unnecessary and continuous after the special game state ends. It is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game due to the continued performance state.

<Fourth embodiment>
Next, the gaming machine of the fourth embodiment will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to portions having the same configuration, description thereof is omitted, and mainly different. The part will be described.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a new second start memory is generated during continuous notice based on the fact that there is a start memory storing a big hit determination random number value that matches the first big hit value in the first start memory. When the result of the second special figure variation display game based on the second start memory is a big hit, the continuous notice is interrupted. Then, after the special game state is ended based on the result of the second special figure variation display game that is a big hit, the continuous notice is resumed. In addition, the continuous notice is executed in the special figure change display game when the continuous notice is restarted, and the continuous notice is executed, and the continuous notice is executed in the special figure change display game which becomes a big hit that triggered the execution of the continuous notice. A continuous notice with a series is executed. Here, the quasi-ream is one in which at least one re-variable display is performed in which a variable display is started again after a temporary stop in a result form other than the special result form in the decorative special figure change display game in the middle of the special figure change display game. It is. In other words, in the middle of the special figure variation display game, the unit variation display that is stopped after the plurality of identification information is displayed in a variation for a predetermined time in the decoration special figure variation display game is performed two or more times, resulting in a result mode. Is derived.

[Continuous notice control processing]
FIG. 43 shows continuous notice control processing performed by the game control device 30 in the gaming machine of the present embodiment. In addition, about the process similar to the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 11, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In this continuous notice control process, first, it is determined whether or not there is a continuous notice restart flag (step S150). The continuous notice restart flag is set when the continuous notice is interrupted as will be described later. If it is determined whether or not there is a continuous notice restart flag (step S150), if there is a continuous notice restart flag (step S150; Yes), a process of setting the continuous notice flag is performed (step S151). Thereafter, a continuous notice resumption control process (step S152) described later is performed, a process of decrementing the value of the continuous notice number counter by 1 (step S153) is performed, and the continuous notice control process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined whether there is a continuous notice restart flag (step S150), if there is no continuous notice restart flag (step S150; No), it is determined whether there is a continuous notice flag (step S41). . Thereafter, processing similar to the continuous notice control processing shown in FIG. 11 is performed.

[Continuous notice change control processing]
As shown in FIG. 44, in this continuous notice change control process, first, it is determined whether or not the second start memory is a winning value (step S61). In the determination of whether or not the second start memory is a winning value (step S61), if the second starting memory is not a winning value (step S61; No), a process of incrementing the value of the continuous notice number counter by 1 ( Step S62) is performed, a process for setting a continuous notice change flag (step S63) is performed, and the continuous notice change control process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined whether or not the second start memory is a win value (step S61), if the second start memory is a win value (step S61; Yes), the value of the continuous notice count is set to the number of consecutive notices. A process of saving to the storage area (RAM 31c) (step S160) is performed. Then, a process of clearing the first special figure notice flag (step S64) is performed, and a process of setting the value of the continuous notice number counter to “0” (step S65). Further, a process of setting a continuous notice restart flag (step S161) is performed, and the continuous notice change control process is terminated.

[Continuous notice resumption control processing]
As shown in FIG. 45, in this continuous notice change control process, first, it is determined whether there is a second start memory (step S170). In the determination of whether or not there is the second start memory (step S170), if there is no second start memory (step S170; No), the value of the continuous notice number counter in the continuous notice number storage area (RAM 31c) is acquired. Then, the process of returning to the continuous notice number counter (step S171) is performed, and it is determined whether or not the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S172).

  In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S172), if the continuous notice number counter is not “0” (step S172; No), the continuous notice number counter is calculated from the continuous notice maximum execution number. A process of obtaining a value obtained by subtracting the remaining value (step S173) is performed. The maximum continuous notice execution number is a value initially set in the continuous notice number counter in the present continuous notice and is the scheduled number of continuous notices to be executed. By subtracting the value of the current continuous notice count counter from this value, the number of pseudo-runs to be executed in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory currently being processed is determined. Then, the process of selecting the pseudo continuous notice flag based on the value acquired in step S173 (step S174) is performed, the process of clearing the continuous notice restart flag (step S175) is performed, and the continuous notice change control process is terminated. .

  On the other hand, if it is determined whether or not the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S172), if the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S172; Yes), the special pseudo continuous notice flag is set. Processing (step S176) is performed. The special pseudo-ream is executed when the special figure variation display game at the time of resumption of the continuous notice becomes a big hit, and the special form is finally derived after performing the pseudo-ream and the continuous notice. It is. After performing the process of setting the special pseudo-continuous notice flag (step S176), the process of clearing the continuous notice flag (step S177), the process of clearing the continuous notice restart flag (step S175), and the continuous The notice change control process is terminated. Based on the pseudo continuous notice flag and the special pseudo continuous notice flag set here, the pseudo continuous effect is executed as described later.

  If it is determined whether there is a second start memory (step S170) and there is a second start memory (step S170; Yes), the process proceeds to step S61 of the continuous notice change control process shown in FIG. Then, the continuous notice is resumed by the above processing.

  FIG. 46 shows an example of determining the variation pattern in the gaming machine of the present embodiment. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the pattern P11 as the variation pattern of the second special figure variation display game based on the new second start memory generated during the continuous announcement, and the pattern as the variation pattern when the continuous announcement is resumed. P12 is set.

  In the pattern P11 of FIG. 46, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “out of” and the effect state as the gaming state is “continuous notice state”, the latter half variation pattern is “second half variation pattern”. 1 (no second half fluctuation) ”is shown. In this case, the pseudo continuous notice change flag is set. In this case, in addition to the “first half variation pattern 11” similar to the pattern P1 shown in FIG. 15, the first half variation pattern includes the “first half variation pattern 41” that performs pseudo-continuations from STEP 1 to STEP 3 and the first half variation patterns from STEP 1 to 2. Either “first half variation pattern 42” to be performed or “first half variation pattern 43” to perform the quasi-continuation of STEP1 is selected. Note that the “first half variation pattern 43” performs only the effect of STEP 1, but it is one of the pseudo-continuations because the same effect (display, voice, etc.) as the other pseudo-continuous effects is executed. Each first-half fluctuation pattern is obtained by subtracting the remaining value of the continuous notice counter from the maximum number of continuous notices, which is obtained by the continuous notice restart control process executed when resuming the continuous notice interrupted by the big hit. Based on the selection. Specifically, when the subtraction value is “3”, the “first half variation pattern 41”, when the subtraction value is “2”, the “first half variation pattern 42”, and when the subtraction value is “1”. The “first half variation pattern 43” is selected.

  In addition, in the pattern P12 of FIG. 46, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “big hit” and the effect state as the game state is “special pseudo-continuous state”, the latter half variation pattern is “ The case where it was determined to be the latter-half fluctuation pattern 31 (special reach A) is shown. In this case, the special pseudo-continuous notice flag is set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined to be the “first half variation pattern 44” in which pseudo-continuation is performed from STEP1 to STEP4. As a result, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 28.800 s, the first half fluctuation is pseudo-continuous STEPs 1 to 4, and the second half fluctuation is a special reach A operation.

  FIG. 47 shows an example of a continuous notice executed by the gaming machine of the present embodiment. This example is an example under substantially the same conditions as the example of the continuous notice shown in FIG. 18, but the result of the second special figure variation display game based on the second start memory newly generated during the continuous notice is a big hit. It is supposed to be. Further, it is assumed that no start memory is generated during the special game state. Hereinafter, the same processing is omitted, and the processing from T2 to T5 in FIG. 47 which is different from FIG. 18 will be mainly described.

  The game control device 30 has a second start memory that is preferentially digested over the first start memory at T2 in FIG. 47, and therefore, a process for executing the special figure variation display game with respect to the second start memory. I do. In the process at this time, it is determined that there is a start-up memory in the special figure normal process (see FIG. 10) (step S31; Yes), and the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 43 is performed. In the continuous notice control process, there is no continuous notice restart flag (step S150; No), it is determined that there is a continuous notice flag (step S41; Yes), and the value of the continuous notice number counter is decremented by 1 (step S42) The value set in the notice count counter is “1”.

  Since there is a first special figure notice flag (step S43; Yes) and a new second start-up memory is stored (step S44; Yes), the continuous notice change control process shown in FIG. 44 is performed. In the continuous notice change control process, the new random number for jackpot determination in the second start memory coincides with the specific value (is a big hit) (step S61; Yes), so the value of the continuous notice count counter (here, 1) is set. The information is saved in the continuous notice count storage area (step S160), and the first special figure notice flag is cleared (step S64). Further, the value of the continuous notice counter is set to 0 (step S65), and the continuous notice restart flag is set (step S161).

  Thereafter, the process returns to the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 43, and since the value of the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S46; Yes), the continuous notice end flag is set (step S47) and the continuous notice flag is cleared. (Step S48). Then, in the special figure routine processing (see FIG. 10), the big hit flag is set (step S35) and the continuous notice end command is set based on the continuous notice end flag, and these pieces of information are transmitted to the effect control device 40 later. (Step c in FIG. 6).

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, processing relating to the decorative special figure fluctuation display game relating to the special figure fluctuation display game and processing relating to continuous notice in the continuous notice setting processing shown in FIG. 16 are performed. In the process related to the decoration special figure fluctuation display game related to the special figure fluctuation display game, the content of the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is determined based on the received fluctuation pattern command. Here, since the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, a process of selecting a big hit result mode (special result mode) is performed as a result mode. In the continuous notice setting process, there is no continuous notice start command (step S91; No), no continuous notice instruction command (step S96; No), and no continuous notice change command (step S97; No). An end command has been received (step S99; Yes). Therefore, the process of selecting the STEP to be displayed (for example, selecting the continuous notice effect of STEP 4 (final STEP)) is performed by the process of selecting the final notice of the continuous notice (step S100).

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure variation display game (T2 to T3 in FIG. 47), the decorative special figure variation display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decoration special figure fluctuation display game, after the notice display as the continuous notice selected during the fluctuation display of the identification symbol is displayed for a predetermined time, the fluctuation display is stopped and the special result mode is displayed, and the special game becomes a big hit. It becomes a state (T3 to T4 in FIG. 47).

  After the end of the special game state, at T4 in FIG. 47, a process for executing the special figure variation display game is performed for the first start memory. In the process at this time, it is determined that there is a start-up memory in the special figure normal process (see FIG. 10) (step S31; Yes), and the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 43 is performed. In the continuous notice control process, since there is a continuous notice restart flag (step S150; Yes), the continuous notice flag is set (step S121), and the continuous notice restart control process shown in FIG. 45 is performed.

  In this continuous notice restart control process, since there is no second start memory (step S170; No), the value of the continuous notice number counter in the continuous notice number storage area is acquired, and the process returns to the continuous notice number counter (step S171). I do. Here, since the saved value is 1, the continuous notice counter is not 0 (step S172; No), and a value obtained by subtracting the remaining value of the continuous notice counter from the maximum number of continuous notices is acquired (step S173). And the pseudo continuous notice flag is selected based on this value (step S174). In this example, since the continuous notice is scheduled to be executed four times, the value “3” obtained by subtracting the value “1” of the continuous notice number counter from the maximum number of continuous notices “4” is acquired. Then, the pseudo continuous flag is set based on the subtracted value “3” (step S174), and the continuous notice restart flag is cleared (step S175).

  Thereafter, in the special figure routine processing (see FIG. 10), a pseudo continuous instruction command based on the pseudo continuous flag is set, a variation pattern is set, and the like is transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (see FIG. 10). Step c) of 6. Here, as the variation pattern, for example, “first half variation pattern 41” is selected based on the subtracted value “3” in the pattern P11 shown in FIG.

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, processing relating to the decorative special figure fluctuation display game relating to the special figure fluctuation display game and processing relating to continuous notice in the continuous notice setting processing shown in FIG. 16 are performed. Although not shown in FIG. 16, when a pseudo continuous instruction command is received, the same process as when a continuous notice instruction command is received is performed, and a process of selecting a continuous notice change effect (step S98). The continuous notice effect for pseudo continuous use is selected. The pseudo-continuous continuous notice effect selected here is a continuous notice from STEP 1 to STEP 3 of the continuous notice A, which leads to the final STEP of the continuous notice A that is scheduled to be executed in the next special figure variation display game.

  Then, with the execution of the special figure variation display game (from T4 to T5 in FIG. 47), the decoration special figure variation display game is displayed on the display device 43 and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this special display variation display game, unit variation display that stops after a plurality of identification information is varied and displayed for a predetermined time as a quasi-continuous sequence is repeated three times, and continuous notice is executed from STEP 1 to STEP 3 corresponding to the unit variation display. The That is, (1) to (4), (7), and (8) of FIG. 19 are executed in the special figure fluctuation display game based on one start memory, and the special figure fluctuation display game is executed three times, and the continuous notice Fluctuation display is executed as if is executed three times.

  After that, at T5 in FIG. 47, as the process for executing the special figure variation display game for the first start memory, the final STEP of the continuous notice A is executed and the special figure which is a big hit as in T4 of FIG. A variable display game is executed and a special gaming state is entered. Note that the variation pattern selected here is, for example, the pattern P5 of FIG. 46, and the effect control device 40 performs the effect of the continuous notice A in the first half variation, and executes the effect of the special reach A in the second half variation. Then, a big hit is generated and the continuous notice is ended.

  Note that the same conditions as in the example of the continuous notice shown in FIG. 18, that is, the result of the second special figure variation display game based on the second start memory newly generated during the continuous notice is out of place, is the same as FIG. Is performed. In addition, when the special figure change display game at the time of resumption of the continuous notice is a big hit, the game control device 30 sets the special pseudo-continuous flag (step S176), and the change pattern is shown in FIG. 46, for example. The pattern P12 is selected. In addition, a special pseudo-ream command based on the special pseudo-ream flag is output from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40. Based on the reception of the special pseudo-continuous command, the effect control device 40 performs the same process as when the continuous notice instruction command is received, and the process of selecting the continuous notice change effect (step S98), the special pseudo-continuous continuous notice. The production will be selected.

  With the above processing, after the special game state generated based on the result mode of the second special figure variation display game is ended by the game control device 30, the continuous effect state ended based on the occurrence of the special game state is resumed. be able to. In particular, after the end of the special game state, the specific effect in the pseudo continuous effect state is executed by the number of times obtained by subtracting the number of variable display games executed in the continuous effect state from the number of variable display games determined by the game control device 30. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the specific production having the series that has been executed in the continuous production state from being terminated halfway. In addition, it is possible to increase the degree of expectation that a special game state will occur for a variable display game after the end of the special game state.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23, during the special gaming state (T3 to T4 in FIG. 47), the start memory in which the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit in the start memory. You may make a notice that there is. As described above, in the case of a jackpot determination random number value that matches the first jackpot value that is commonly used in the high probability state and the normal probability state, a prior effect (notice notification) is started (with a predetermined probability). Therefore, it is possible to make a reliable notice that is not affected by the subsequent change in the probability state, and it is also possible to perform a pre-production (notice notice) in the special gaming state. As a result, even if a big hit occurs in the middle of the pre-production (notification notice (continuous notice)), the pre-production (pre-notification notice) is continuously performed during the big hit, so a novel pre-production (notification) Notification), and it is possible to improve interest and expectation.

<Modification>
Next, a modification of the pachinko gaming machine in the fourth embodiment will be described. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same part as the said embodiment, and only a different part is demonstrated. The gaming machine of the present modification can prevent the continuous notice from continuing for a long time by the second start memory newly generated during the continuous notice.

[Continuous notice change control processing]
As shown in FIG. 48, in this continuous notice change control process, first, it is determined whether or not the second start memory is a winning value (step S61). In the determination of whether or not the second start memory is a winning value (step S61), if the second starting memory is a winning value (step S61; Yes), the same processing as in FIG. The change control process ends. On the other hand, when the second start memory is not a winning value (step S61; No), the game control device 30 performs a process of obtaining a value obtained by subtracting 1 from the newly stored second start memory number (step S180). .

  Then, it is determined whether the value acquired in step S180 is greater than 0 (step S181). That is, it is determined whether two or more second start memories have occurred between the last start memory process and the current start memory process. In the determination of whether or not the value acquired in step S180 is greater than 0 (step S181), if it is greater than 0 (step S181; Yes), that is, if two or more second startup memories have occurred. Performs the process (step S182) of setting the value of the continuous notice counter to the value acquired in step S180. Then, a process of setting a continuous notice change flag (step S63) is performed, and the continuous notice change control process is terminated. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the value acquired in step S180 is greater than 0 (step S181), if it is not greater than 0 (step S181; No), that is, if one second start memory has occurred, A process of setting a continuous notice change flag (step S63) is performed, and the continuous notice change control process is terminated.

  Such processing can prevent the continuous notice from continuing for a long time when a plurality of second start memories are generated. Further, even if one second start memory is generated, the process of incrementing the continuous notice number counter shown in FIG. 44 by 1 (step S62) is not performed, so that the continuous notice is not extended and the continuous notice is extended for a long time. It can be prevented from continuing.

<Fifth Embodiment>
Next, a gaming machine of the fifth embodiment will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to portions having the same configuration, description thereof is omitted, and mainly different. The part will be described. The gaming machine of the present embodiment is configured so that a plurality of start memories can be shown to be consumed by a single decorative special figure variation display game during continuous notice.

  FIG. 49 shows an example of determining the variation pattern in the gaming machine of the present embodiment. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, patterns P13 and P14 are set as variation patterns.

  In the patterns P13 and P14 of FIG. 49, when the game result of the special figure variation display game is “out of” and the effect state as the game state is “continuous notice state”, the latter half variation pattern is “ The case where it was determined as “Latter-half fluctuation pattern 1 (No latter-half fluctuation)” is shown. In this case, the big hit flag is not set, and the continuous notice flag and the continuous notice change flag are set. In this case, in the pattern P13, the first half variation pattern is determined to be the “first half variation pattern 51”. As a result, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 6.000 s, the first half fluctuation is continuous notice (short STEP), and the second half fluctuation is none (no reach). In the pattern P14, the first half variation pattern is determined to be the “first half variation pattern 52”. As a result, the fluctuation pattern has a special figure first half fluctuation time of 1.200 s, the first half fluctuation is a continuous notice (swinging operation STEP), and the second half fluctuation is none (no reach).

  Here, as shown in FIG. 52 (1a), the “first half variation pattern 51” selected in the pattern P13 displays the notice display 43a as a continuous notice. For example, the continuous change determined by the pattern P4 in FIG. The display time is shorter than the notice (normal continuous notice). In addition, as shown in FIG. 46 (3a), the “first half variation pattern 52” selected in the pattern P14 is a continuous notice, but the notice display 43a is not displayed, and the identification symbols of the left, middle, and right are displayed. It is a pattern that is displayed as if shaking on the spot. In addition, the fluctuation time is very short.

FIG. 50 shows an example of continuous notice executed by the gaming machine of this embodiment.
In addition, this example is an example on substantially the same conditions as an example of the continuous notice shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the same processing is omitted, and the processing from T2 to T4 in FIG. 50 different from FIG. 18 will be mainly described.

  The game control device 30 has a second start memory that is preferentially digested over the first start memory at T2 in FIG. 50, and therefore a process for executing the special figure variation display game with respect to the second start memory. I do. In the process at this time, in the special figure normal process (see FIG. 10), it is determined that there is a start-up memory (step S31; Yes), and the continuous notice control process (see FIG. 11) is performed. In the continuous notice control process, it is determined that there is a continuous notice flag (step S41; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter is decremented by 1 (step S42), and the value set in the continuous notice number counter is “1”. Become.

  Since there is a first special figure notice flag (step S43; Yes) and a new second start memory is stored (step S44; Yes), a continuous notice change control process (see FIG. 12) is performed. In the continuous notice change control process, the new jackpot determination random number value in the second start memory does not match the specific value (is out of step) (step S61; No), so the value of the continuous notice number counter is incremented by 1 (step In step S62, a continuous notice change flag is set (step S63). As a result, the value set in the continuous notice count counter is “2”.

  Thereafter, the process returns to the continuous notice control process (see FIG. 11), and since the value of the continuous notice number counter is not “0” (step S46; No), the process returns to the special figure usual process (see FIG. 10). And since the continuous notice change flag is set (step S33; Yes), a big hit flag setting process (step S35) is performed. Here, since the jackpot determination random number is not a specific value, the jackpot flag is not set, and the processing from step S36 to step S38 is performed thereafter. At this time, a continuous advance notice change command is set and transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 6). In the variation pattern setting process (step S37), the number of second start memories is set as a continuous notice change counter value (here, 1 is set). Thereafter, the continuous notice change counter value is decremented by 1 each time a variation pattern is set in the variation pattern setting process (step S37). If the continuous notice change counter value is not 0, the pattern P13 or P14 in FIG. 49 is selected as the variation pattern. In this example, it is assumed that the pattern P13 is selected here. Further, the continuous notice change flag is not cleared until the continuous notice change counter value becomes zero. After performing the above processing, the second start memory number is decremented by 1 in the special figure fluctuation start process 2 (step S14) shown in FIG. 9, and the second start memory becomes zero as shown in FIG. .

  Based on the command received from the game control device 30, the effect control device 40 performs processing related to the decorative special map variation display game regarding the special map variation display game and processing related to continuous notification in the continuous notification setting process shown in FIG. 16. In addition, since the result of the special figure variation display game is out of place, a process of selecting a result form of deviation as a result form is performed. In the continuous notice setting process, there is no continuous notice start command (step S91; No), and there is no continuous notice instruction command (step S96; No), but there is a continuous notice change command (step S97; Yes). Then, the process of selecting the STEP to be displayed is performed by the process of selecting the continuous notice change effect (step S98). Here, a specific effect (continuous notice B) corresponding to the pattern P13 selected as the variation pattern is selected.

  Then, in accordance with the execution of the special map variation display game (from T2 to Ta in FIG. 50), the decorative special map variation display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decoration special figure fluctuation display game, as shown in FIG. 52 (1 a), after the notice display 43 a of “Lantern ghost (chance!)” Is displayed as a continuous notice during the fluctuation display of the identification symbol, As shown in 52 (2a), the result mode of the deviation is displayed.

  Next, the game control device 30 performs a process for executing the special figure variation display game on the first start memory at Ta in FIG. In the process at this time, in the special figure normal process (see FIG. 10), it is determined that there is a start-up memory (step S31; Yes), and the continuous notice control process (see FIG. 11) is performed. In the continuous notice control process, it is determined that there is a continuous notice flag (step S41; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter is decremented by 1 (step S42), and the value set in the continuous notice number counter is “1”. Become.

  Then, there is a first special figure notice flag (step S43; Yes), no new second start memory is stored (step S44; No), and the value of the continuous notice number counter is not “0” (step S46; No), the process returns to the special figure normal processing (see FIG. 10). And since the continuous notice change flag is set (step S33; Yes), a big hit flag setting process (step S35) is performed. Here, since the jackpot determination random number is not a specific value, the jackpot flag is not set, and the processing from step S36 to step S38 is performed thereafter. At this time, a continuous advance notice change command is set and transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 6). In the variation pattern setting process (step S37), since the continuous notice change counter value is 1, the pattern P13 or the pattern P14 in FIG. 49 is selected as the variation pattern. In this example, it is assumed that the pattern P14 is selected here. Then, after setting the variation pattern, a process of decrementing the continuous notice change counter value by 1 is performed. Since the continuous notice change counter value becomes 0 by this processing, the continuous notice change flag is cleared. After performing the above processing, the first start memory number is decremented by 1 in the special figure variation start process 2 (step S14) shown in FIG. 9, and the first start memory becomes one as shown in FIG. .

  Based on the command received from the game control device 30, the effect control device 40 performs processing related to the decorative special map variation display game regarding the special map variation display game and processing related to continuous notification in the continuous notification setting process shown in FIG. 16. In addition, since the result of the special figure variation display game is out of place, a process of selecting a result form of deviation as a result form is performed. In the continuous notice setting process, there is no continuous notice start command (step S91; No), and there is no continuous notice instruction command (step S96; No), but there is a continuous notice change command (step S97; Yes). Then, the process of selecting the STEP to be displayed is performed by the process of selecting the continuous notice change effect (step S98). Here, a specific effect (continuous notice B) corresponding to the pattern P14 selected as the variation pattern is selected.

  Then, with the execution of the special map fluctuation display game (Ta to T3 in FIG. 50), the decoration special map fluctuation display game is displayed on the display device 43 and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decoration special figure fluctuation display game, as shown in FIG. 52 (3a), after the identification symbol is displayed so as to be shaken on the spot, the fluctuation display is stopped as shown in FIG. 52 (4a). The result mode is displayed.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 51 (2), the display of the result mode of loss shown in FIG. 52 (2a) will be displayed upon receipt of the fluctuation stop command from the game control device 30, but from Ta It is used as a display for continuous notice in the next variable display game. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 51 (2), the display of the variation result shown in FIG. 52 (2a) from the display of the result mode to Ta is apparently in a state where the variable display on the display device 43 is not stopped. As a result, although it seems that a single decorative special figure variation display game has been executed from T2 to T3, a plurality (two) of starting memories are consumed. In addition, the display on the special figure display device controlled by the game control device 30 is displayed in accordance with the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game. As shown in FIG. The fluctuation display on the special figure display 9 is started, and the fluctuation is stopped as shown in FIG. 52 (2b) at the end of the second special figure fluctuation display game. In addition, as shown in FIG. 52 (3b), the fluctuation display of the first special figure display 8 is started from Ta, and the fluctuation is stopped as shown in FIG. 52 (4b) at the end of the first special figure fluctuation display game. .

  Thereafter, at T3 in FIG. 50, a process for executing the special figure variation display game is performed for the first start memory that is a big hit. In the process at this time, in the special figure normal process (see FIG. 10), it is determined that there is a start-up memory (step S31; Yes), and the continuous notice control process (see FIG. 11) is performed. In the continuous notice control process, it is determined that there is a continuous notice flag (step S41; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter is decremented by 1 (step S42), and the value set in the continuous notice number counter is “0”. Become. And there exists a 1st special figure notice flag (step S43; Yes), and the new 2nd starting memory is not memorize | stored (step S44; No), but the value of a continuous notice number counter is "0" (step) S46; Yes), a continuous notice end flag is set (step S47) and the continuous notice flag is cleared (step S48).

  Returning to the special routine processing (see FIG. 10), the continuous notice change flag is not set (step S33; No), but there is no continuous notice flag (step S34; No), so the big hit flag setting process (step S35) I do. Here, since the jackpot determination random number is a specific value, the jackpot flag is set, and then the processing from step S36 to step S38 is performed. At this time, a continuous notice end command is set and transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 6). Further, 1 is subtracted from the first start memory number in the special figure change start process 2 (step S14) shown in FIG. 9, and the first start memory becomes zero as shown in FIG.

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, processing relating to the decorative special figure fluctuation display game relating to the special figure fluctuation display game and processing relating to continuous notice in the continuous notice setting processing shown in FIG. 16 are performed. In the process related to the decoration special figure fluctuation display game related to the special figure fluctuation display game, the content of the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is determined based on the received fluctuation pattern command. Here, since the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, a process of selecting a big hit result mode (special result mode) is performed as a result mode. In addition, since the reach has a variation pattern, the game is determined to be a decorative special figure variation display game to be reached. In the continuous notice setting process, there is no continuous notice start command (step S91; No), no continuous notice instruction command (step S96; No), and no continuous notice change command (step S97; No). An end command has been received (step S99; Yes). Therefore, the process of selecting the STEP to be displayed (for example, selecting the continuous notice effect of STEP 4 (final STEP)) is performed by the process of selecting the final notice of the continuous notice (step S100).

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure variation display game (from T3 to T4 in FIG. 50), the decorative special figure variation display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this special display variation display game, after the pre-production (preliminary display) as a continuous announcement selected during the variation display of the identification symbol is displayed for a predetermined time, the variation display is stopped and the special result mode is displayed. A big hit and a special gaming state.

  Thus, according to the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the fifth embodiment, it is apparent that the two start memories (the first start memory and the second start memory) are digested during one first special figure variation display game. Therefore, it is possible to suitably shorten the time for which the continuous notice effect is continued unnecessarily.

<Sixth Embodiment>
Next, a gaming machine of the sixth embodiment will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to portions having the same configuration, description thereof is omitted, and mainly different. The part will be described. The gaming machine of the present embodiment is configured so that the game after the big hit is advantageously advanced for the player.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 53 (1), the timing at which the ending executed after all rounds in the big hit gaming state (special gaming state) has ended is set as the big hit gaming state end timing. After this, the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is changed to the short-time operation state. However, in this case, since the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is the normal operation state for a certain period after the jackpot game state is ended (until the currently running ordinary figure change display game is ended), simultaneously with the jackpot end timing. It was difficult to win a game ball to the normal variation winning device 7. That is, immediately after the big hit, there is a high possibility that the first special figure variation display game based on the first start memory is started. Thus, for example, when the big hit is a probable big hit (becomes a high probability state after the end of the special gaming state), the start memory is a normal hit (becomes a normal probability state after the end of the special gaming state). If it is stored, the high probability state will end immediately. On the other hand, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, after all the rounds in the big hit gaming state (special gaming state) are completed as shown in FIG. And, it can be changed so that the big hit gaming state end timing is set at the timing before execution of the ending. This makes it easy to cause the normal variation winning device 7 to win the game ball and generate the second start memory by the timing when the special figure variation display game after the end of the game is started, and the high probability state is achieved. It can be prevented from being terminated immediately.

  In particular, this is a case where a new second start memory is generated during execution of a continuous notice based on the fact that the first start memory has a start-up memory that is usually a big hit, and the second start-up memory is based on the second start-up memory. This is effective when the result of the special figure fluctuation display game is a probable big hit. That is, in the above-described embodiments and modifications, the player's interest is enhanced by changing the continuous notice in such a case, but the high probability state due to the probability variation jackpot produced by the continuous notice is present. By preventing the game from being finished immediately, it is possible to prevent the interest of the game from deteriorating.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in addition to the big start determination random number stored in the first start memory or the second start memory in addition to the big start determination random number game stored in the first start memory or the second start memory in the game control device 30, the big hit A process of acquiring a design random number value is also performed. Then, for the start memory that has not yet executed the special figure fluctuation display game, it is determined whether or not a special result aspect is derived in the special figure fluctuation display game based on the start memory, and the special result aspect is high. It is possible to determine whether the special result mode for the normal jackpot that satisfies the condition for changing the probability state to the normal probability state or the special result mode for the probability change jackpot that satisfies the condition for changing the normal probability state to the high probability state. That is, with respect to the start memory in which the game control device 30 has not yet executed the variable display game, whether or not the first special result mode (normal jackpot) is derived in the variable display game based on the start memory and the second Special result mode determining means for determining whether or not a special result mode (probability big hit) is derived.

[Big hits end timing determination process]
As shown in FIG. 54, in the jackpot end timing determination process executed in the fanfare / interval process (see FIG. 9) of the special game branch process in the gaming machine of this embodiment, first, the number of rounds is “13”. It is determined whether or not there is (step S601).

  In the determination of whether or not the number of rounds is “13” (step S601), if the number of rounds is not “13” (step S601; No), the game control device 30 ends the jackpot end timing determination process. On the other hand, if it is determined whether or not the number of rounds is “13” (step S601) and the number of rounds is “13” (step S601; Yes), an end timing determination game process (step S602) is performed.

  In the end timing determination game process, a process of executing a predetermined game (for example, a game in which the Janken and the effect button 41 are continuously hit) is performed in the 13th round of the special game state. In addition, when the game result satisfies a prescribed condition (for example, a player wins by playing, or the number of consecutive hits of the effect button reaches a prescribed number within a prescribed time), one of the changing conditions described later (2nd change condition) will be materialized.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the change condition is satisfied (step S603). In the determination of whether or not this change condition is satisfied (step S603), if the change condition is not satisfied (step S603; No), the game control device 30 ends the big hit end timing determination process. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the change condition is satisfied (step S603), if the change condition is satisfied (step S603; Yes), processing for setting an end timing change flag (step S604) is performed, and the big hit end timing is determined. The decision process is terminated.

  Here, the change condition has two conditions, and the first change condition is that the big hit that triggered the occurrence of the special gaming state is a probable big hit (becomes a high probability state after the special gaming state ends), and At this time, the first start memory stores the start memory that is normally hit (becomes the normal probability state after the special gaming state is finished). The second change condition is that the result of the above-mentioned end timing determination game satisfies the prescribed condition. Then, the change condition is satisfied when the first change condition and the second change condition are satisfied.

[Large winning ball remaining ball processing]
As shown in FIG. 55, in the special winning game remaining ball process executed in the special game branching process (see FIG. 9) in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, first, the special game process timer is decremented by 1 (step S611) is performed, and it is determined whether or not the special figure game process timer has expired (step S612).

  In the determination of whether or not the special figure game processing timer has expired (step S612), if the time has expired (step S612; Yes), that is, if the special winning opening release time has ended, the interval setting table is set. The process (step S613) to perform is performed. On the other hand, in the determination whether the special figure game processing timer has expired (step S612), if the time has not expired (step S612; No), the data saving process (step S619) is performed, and the big prize opening The remaining sphere process is terminated.

  Next, a process of acquiring the number of continuous operations (acquiring a value obtained by adding 1 to the number of rounds) (step S614) is performed, and it is determined whether the currently executed round is the final round (step S615).

  In the determination of whether or not the currently executed round is the final round (step S615), the acquired continuous operation count is compared with the upper limit value, and the final round is determined when the continuous operation count reaches the upper limit value. In the determination of whether or not the currently executed round is the final round (step S615), if the currently executed round is not the final round (step S615; No), the data saving process (step S619) is performed, and the winning prize opening The remaining sphere process is terminated. In this case, the special figure process number is changed to 4, and the fanfare / inter-interval process is selected in the next special figure game branching process. On the other hand, if it is determined whether or not the currently executed round is the final round (step S615), if the currently executed round is the final round (step S615; Yes), an ending setting process (step S616) is performed to change the end timing. It is determined whether or not there is a flag (step S617). In the case of the final round, the special figure process number is changed to 7 after completion of the big winning opening remaining ball process, and the big hit end process is selected in the next special figure game branching process.

  In the determination of whether or not there is an end timing change flag (step S617), if there is an end timing change flag (step S617; Yes), a process of setting a normal hit probability to a high probability (step S618) is performed. Then, a data saving process (step S619) is performed, and the winning prize remaining ball process is terminated. As a result, as shown in FIG. 53 (2), after all rounds in the big hit gaming state (special gaming state) are finished and before the ending execution, the big hit gaming state end timing is set, Before the ending starts, the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is changed to the time-short operation state.

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not there is an end timing change flag (step S617), if there is no end timing change flag (step S617; No), a data saving process (step S619) is performed, and the big winning opening remaining ball process is performed. Exit. In this case, as shown in FIG. 53 (1), the timing at which the ending is ended is set as the end timing of the big hit gaming state, and thereafter, the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is changed to the time-short operation state.

  Thus, according to the gaming machine of the sixth embodiment, the game ball is awarded to the normal variation winning device 7 and the second start memory is stored by the timing when the special figure variation display game after the end of the ending is started. It becomes easy to generate, and it is possible to prevent the high probability state from ending immediately.

  That is, based on the establishment of a predetermined condition, a variable winning device (ordinary variable winning device 7) that converts into a first state in which a game ball cannot win in the second start winning opening and a second state in which a game ball can win. ), And the operating state of the variable winning device is the first operating state (normal operating state) and the second operating state (short-time operating state) in which the variable winning device is likely to be in the second state than the first operating state. The operation state setting means (game control device 30) to be set to any one of the first probability state (high probability state) in which the probability that the special result mode is derived in the variable display game is the first probability, and the first Based on the probability variation control means (game control device 30) set to any one of the second probability state (normal probability state), which is a second probability higher than the probability of, and the special result mode as a special result mode The first special to be in the normal probability state after the game state ends Special result mode selection means (game control device 30) for selecting one of the result mode (normal jackpot) and the second special result mode (probability variation jackpot) that is set to a high probability state after the end of the special game state, For the start memory that is not running the variable display game, it is determined whether or not the first special result mode is derived and whether or not the second special result mode is derived in the variable display game based on the start memory. A special result mode determination means (game control device 30) for performing the first start in the special game state in which the special result mode determination means is executed based on the derivation of the second special result mode. When it is determined that the start memory for deriving the first special result mode is present in the memory, the operation state of the variable winning device is set to the second operation state before the end of the special game state.

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