  Further, the effect display means (sub-sub control part) 2310 displays image on the decorative symbol display area 2311, the first hold display part 2312a, and the second hold display part 2312b which are display areas on the effect display device 2140. 2313 and sub information transmission / reception control means 2450 for controlling information transmission / reception with the sub main control unit 2320 side. Here, the image display control unit 2313 further includes an image display related information temporary storage unit 2313a for temporarily storing commands received from the sub main control unit 2320 side and information related to various image displays.

  The first main game symbol display device 2130, the second main game symbol display device 2230, and the auxiliary game symbol display device 2420 are connected to the main control device 1000 so as to be able to transmit information, and the remaining effect display means 2310 is an effect. The display control unit 2320 is connected to be able to transmit information. That is, the first main game symbol display device 2130, the second main game symbol display device 2230, and the auxiliary game symbol display device 2420 are controlled by the main control device 1000, and the effect display means 2310 is controlled by the effect display control means 2320. Means that. In addition, you may comprise so that another peripheral device may be controlled via the main controller 1000 and the other peripheral device controlled by one-way communication (one-way communication).

  Next, FIG. 5 is a main flowchart showing the flow of general processing performed by main controller 1000. After powering on the gaming machine, the process of FIG. That is, after the gaming machine is turned on and initialized (not shown), the main controller 1000 confirms the input port of the RAM clear button in step 3002, and resets the RAM (clear RAM) button of the power supply unit 290. Button) has been operated, that is, whether or not an operation of clearing the contents of the RAM has been performed intentionally by a game hall manager or the like. In the case of Yes in step 3002, in step 3004, main controller 1000 clears all the RAM contents (for example, information in gaming state temporary storage means 1190) on the main controller 1000 side. Next, in step 3006, the information transmission control means 1300 transmits ram clear information (command) indicating that the RAM of the main control board 1000 has been cleared to the sub main control unit 2320 side (even if it is transmitted at this timing). Alternatively, the command may be set at this timing and transmitted by the control command transmission process described later), and the process proceeds to step 3014. On the other hand, if No in step 3002, the main controller 1000 checks the contents of the RAM area in the main controller 1000 in step 3008 (for example, the checksum recorded at the time of power failure and the RAM area stored in the RAM area). Comparison with the amount of information). Next, at step 3010, main controller 1000 determines whether or not the contents of the RAM are normal based on the check result (whether or not the information at the time of power interruption has been backed up to RAM correctly). If YES in step 3010, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is abnormal, the process proceeds to step 3004 (RAM clear process described above). On the other hand, if the data backed up in the RAM in Step 3010 is normal, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is normal, in Step 3011, the main controller 1000 stores various backups stored (backed up) in the RAM in the main gaming device 1000 An information command is acquired, and in step 3012, the acquired various information commands are transmitted to the sub-main control unit 2320 side (the command may be transmitted at the timing, or the command is set at the timing and described later. It may be configured to transmit in the transmission process), and the process proceeds to step 3014. Next, at step 3014, the main controller 1000 executes an execution scheduled interrupt (for example, about every 1.5 ms as a hardware interrupt) related to the main process on the main controller 1000 side indicated by step 1000 in FIG. However, in this example, the interrupt cycle is set to T) (as a result, when the execution scheduled interrupt timing is reached, step 1000 in FIG. 11 is executed), and the process proceeds to step 3020. . After the transition to step 3020, main controller 1000 repeatedly executes various random number update processing (for example, random number counter increment processing) until the next scheduled interrupt timing is reached.

  Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. Main controller 1000 executes the process shown in FIG. 5B based on an interrupt request generated when the scheduled interrupt timing is reached. That is, triggered by the arrival of the scheduled interrupt period T (for example, a hardware interrupt about every 1.5 ms), in step 1100, the main controller 1000 executes an auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition process described later. Next, in step 1200, main controller 1000 executes an electric accessory driving determination process described later. Next, at step 1300, main controller 1000 executes a main game content determination random number acquisition process, which will be described later. Next, at step 1400, main controller 1000 executes a main game symbol display process described later. Next, at step 1500, main controller 1000 executes special game operating condition determination processing described later. Next, at step 1600, main controller 1000 executes a special game control process described later. Next, in step 1700, the main controller 1000 (especially the prize ball payout determining means 1400) performs a prize ball payout control process (drive control of the prize ball payout mechanism 210, etc.) based on the winning opening where the game ball has won. The payout control board 3000 is executed and processing for managing the result is executed. Next, at step 1800, main controller 1000 executes external signal output processing (output of information to external terminal board, hall computer H, etc.). Next, in step 1900, main controller 1000 executes a control command transmission process (transmits the command set in each process described above to the sub-main control unit) and is executed immediately before the execution of this interrupt process. Return to the process that was being performed.

  Next, NMI interrupt processing will be described. As described above, the main controller 1000 is configured such that the power interruption signal from the reset IC is input to the NMI terminal of the CPU, and the process of FIG. Is done. That is, when the gaming machine is powered off (NMI interrupt in this example), in step 3604, main controller 1000 sets power interruption information (for example, checksum) based on the information in the RAM area. Next, in step 3606, main controller 1000 prohibits writing to the RAM area, prohibits timer interrupt processing, and shifts to power-off waiting loop processing.

  Next, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1100 in FIG. First, in Step 1102, the auxiliary game entrance entrance determination means 1113 determines whether or not a game ball enters (inflow, passes in the case of a gate) into the auxiliary game entrance 2410. In the case of Yes in step 1102, in step 1104, the auxiliary game random number acquisition determination execution means 1123 refers to the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1133a, and determines whether or not the number of hold balls is not the upper limit (for example, 4). . In the case of Yes in step 1104, in step 1106, the auxiliary game random number acquisition determination execution means 1123 acquires an auxiliary game content determination random number (for example, an auxiliary game symbol winning random number). Next, in step 1108, the auxiliary game symbol hold means 1133 adds 1 hold ball in the form of setting the random number in the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1133a together with information on what number of holds. Then, the process proceeds to the next process (the electric accessory drive determination process in step 1200). In addition, also when it is No in step 1102 and step 1104, it transfers to the following process (electric-powered article drive determination process of step 1200).

  Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the electric accessory drive determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1202, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a to determine whether or not the electric accessory open flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the auxiliary game symbol control means 1153 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a and determines whether or not the auxiliary game symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the auxiliary game content determination unit 1143 accesses the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage unit 1133a and determines whether or not there is a hold ball related to the auxiliary game symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1216, the auxiliary game content determination unit 1143 refers to the auxiliary game state temporary storage unit 1193 to acquire the auxiliary game side game state (flag state of the auxiliary game short time flag), and Referring to the auxiliary game content determination lottery table 1143a, a stop symbol is determined based on the acquired auxiliary game side gaming state and the auxiliary game symbol random number based on the reserved ball (for example, when the auxiliary game short time flag is on) Is selected with a higher probability than in the case of being off) and temporarily stored in the auxiliary game symbol information temporary storage means 1193b. Next, in step 1218, the auxiliary game symbol variation time managing means 1153a stores the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer 1153a-1 in the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer 1153a-1 based on the game state on the auxiliary game side (flag state of the auxiliary game short time flag). A predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds when the auxiliary game short flag is on, and 30 seconds when the auxiliary game short flag is off) related to the variable time is set. In step 1220, the auxiliary game symbol control means 1153 turns on the auxiliary game symbol fluctuation flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. Next, in step 1222, the auxiliary game symbol holding means 1133 updates the hold information recorded in the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1133a after subtracting 1 from the reserved ball related to the auxiliary game symbol, and also assists. The game symbol control means 1153 starts the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer 1153 a-1, and then starts the auxiliary game symbol variation display on the auxiliary game symbol display unit 2421. Next, in step 1224, the auxiliary game symbol variation time management means 1153a refers to the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer 1153a-1, and determines whether or not a predetermined time related to the variation time of the auxiliary game symbol has been reached. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1224, in step 1226, the auxiliary game symbol control means 1153 refers to the auxiliary game symbol information temporary storage means 1193b, acquires the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol, and stops the acquired auxiliary game symbol. The symbol is fixedly displayed on the auxiliary game symbol display unit 2421. In step 1228, the auxiliary game symbol control means 1153 turns off the auxiliary game symbol fluctuation flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. Next, in step 1230, the condition determination means 1161 determines whether or not the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol is “winning”. In the case of Yes in Step 1230, in Step 1232, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 relates to the opening time of the electric accessory in the opening timer 1162 based on the auxiliary gaming side gaming state (the flag state of the auxiliary gaming short time flag). A predetermined time (for example, 6 seconds when the auxiliary game short flag is on, and 0.5 seconds when the auxiliary game short flag is off) is set. Next, in step 1234, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 turns on the electric accessory open flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. In step 1236, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 opens the electric accessory 2112 of the second main game starting port 2110. Next, at step 1238, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the release timer 1162, and determines whether or not a predetermined time related to the opening time of the electric accessory has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1238, in step 1240 and step 1242, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 closes the electric accessory 2112 of the second main game starting port 2110, and in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. The electric-operated article releasing flag is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (main game content determination random number acquisition process in step 1300).

  If NO in step 1202, the process proceeds to step 1238. If NO in step 1204, the process proceeds to step 1224. If NO in step 1206, step 1224, step 1230, and step 1238, the next process is performed. The process proceeds to (main game content determination random number acquisition process in step 1300).

  Further, in this flowchart, for the sake of convenience, after the stop symbol is displayed in step 1226, the process proceeds to the next step immediately, but the present invention is not limited to this. In that case, it may be configured to move to the next processing after a fixed stop display time of about 500 ms (for example, this processing is performed by performing branch processing using a stop display fixing flag and a timer). Achievable).

  Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of main game content determination random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. First, in step 1302, whether or not the first main game start port entrance determining means 1111 has received the first main game start port entrance information from the first entrance detection device 2211 of the first main game start port 2210. Determine. In the case of Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the first main game random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 refers to the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1131a and holds on the main game (especially the first main game side). It is determined whether or not the number of spheres is not the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1304, in step 1306, the first main game random number acquisition determination execution means 1121 acquires the first main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the first main game content determination random number, the winning lottery random number for determining the success / failure, the symbol lottery random number for determining the winning symbol, and the variation pattern (variation time) of the special symbol are determined. The three random numbers of the variation mode lottery random numbers to acquire are acquired. Incidentally, these three random numbers are generated from random number generation means having different update periods and random number ranges, and are obtained in series at this timing. Next, in Step 1308, the first main game symbol hold means 1131 stores the first main game content determination random number in the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1131a. Next, in step 1310, the information transmission control means 1300 sets information (holding occurrence command) indicating that the first main game random number has been acquired in the command transmission buffer 1301 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit 2320. To do. Next, at step 1312, whether or not the second main game start entrance entering determination means 1112 has received the second main game start entrance entrance information from the second entrance detection device 2111 of the second main game start entrance 2110. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 1312, in step 1314, the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means 1122 refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a and holds on the main game (especially the second main game side). It is determined whether or not the number of spheres is not the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1314, in step 1316, the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means 1122 acquires the second main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the second main game content determination random number, three random numbers of the success / failure lottery random number, the symbol lottery random number, and the variation mode lottery random number are acquired as in the first main game content determination means. Incidentally, the acquisition range of each random number of the first main game content determination random number and the acquisition range of each random number of the second main game content determination random number (for example, the first lottery random number for the first main game and the right lottery random number for the second main game) Are set to the same range. Next, in step 1318, the second main game symbol hold means 1132 stores the second main game content determination random number in the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a. Next, in step 1320, the information transmission control means 1300 sets information indicating that the second main game random number has been acquired (pending occurrence command) in the command transmission buffer 1301 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit 2320. Then, the process proceeds to the next process (main game symbol display process in step 1400). In the case of No in Step 1302 and Step 1304, the process proceeds to Step 1312, and in the case of No in Step 1312 and Step 1314, the process proceeds to the next process (main game symbol display process in Step 1400).

  In the present embodiment, information indicating that a random number has been acquired is transmitted as information to be transmitted to the sub-main control unit 2320 in Step 1310 and Step 1320. The number of reservations may be attached and transmitted, and the information indicating that a random number has been acquired can be substituted by these pieces of information.

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. First, in step 1401, the main game symbol hold release control means 1154 refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a, and confirms whether there is no hold of the second main game symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1401, in step 1400 (1), main controller 1000 executes a first main game symbol display process described later, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). . On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1401, in step 1400 (2), main controller 1000 executes a second main game symbol display process described later and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). Transition. Thus, in the present embodiment, when there is a holding ball of the second main game symbol, regardless of the presence of the holding ball of the first main game symbol (even if the winning order is the holding of the first main game symbol) However, this is not limited to this, but it is not limited to this (the pending digest based on the winning order and both main game symbols are simultaneously executed in parallel). It may be configured to execute a parallel lottery for lottery.

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the first main game symbol display process (second main game symbol display process) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} in FIG. In addition, since this process is substantially the same process on the first main game symbol side and the second main game symbol side, the first main game symbol side will be mainly described, and the processing on the second main game symbol side will be described. Use parentheses. First, in step 1403, the first main game content determination unit 1141 (second main game content determination unit 1142) determines whether or not a change start condition is satisfied. Here, the condition for starting the change is that the special game or the design is not changing.

  Next, in step 1405 and step 1406, the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) is a first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1131a (second main game symbol hold information temporary). The first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) related to the current symbol variation, which is temporarily stored in the storage unit 1132a), is read, and the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage unit 1131a (first storage) The two main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a) are deleted, and the remaining temporarily stored information is shifted (holding digestion process). Next, in Step 1410-1, the winning / not-lotting means 1135 refers to the first main gaming winning / losing lottery table 1135b-1 (second main gaming winning / losing lottery table 1135b-3) corresponding to each gaming state. Based on 1 main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, a winning lottery random number), a main game symbol winning lottery is executed.

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 1) is an example of a first main game success / failure lottery table 1135b-1 (second main game success / failure lottery table 1135b-3). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, the jackpot winning probability in the probability varying gaming state is configured to be higher than the jackpot winning probability in the non-stochastic varying gaming state. Note that the winning probability is merely an example, and is not limited to this. Further, in the present embodiment, the hit (so-called small hit) where the gaming state cannot be changed is not illustrated, but a small hit may be generated (winning for the small hit).

  Next, in step 1410-2, the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) determines the first main game content determination lottery table 1141a (second main game content determination lottery table 1142a). ) To determine the stop symbol for the main game symbol based on the main game symbol determination lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, the symbol lottery random number), The first main game symbol information temporary storage means 1191b (second main game symbol information temporary storage means 1192b) is temporarily stored.

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 2) is an example of a first main game content determination lottery table 1141a (second main game content determination lottery table 1142a) (particularly, an example of a stop symbol determination table). . As shown in this example, in this embodiment, when a big hit is won, a plurality of main game symbol candidates (in this example, “1A · 4A · 7A” and “1B · 4B · 7B”) are selected. One main game symbol is configured to be determined as a jackpot symbol. As will be described later, in the present embodiment, based on the type of jackpot symbol, the opening mode of the big winning opening {in particular, the second big winning opening (distributed winning opening) 2220} at the time of round execution is determined. (A certain jackpot symbol and the certain jackpot symbol may be different in the opening mode of the big prize opening) Depending on the opening mode of the big winning slot, whether or not to shift to the probability variation gaming state, It is configured to be different depending on the type. The other symbol types are merely examples, and are not limited to this. {For example, the lost symbol is not limited to one type of symbol, and a plurality of types of symbols may be provided. When a specific symbol is stopped and displayed, the state of change of the main game symbol and / or the selection rate is different from that before the specific symbol is stopped and displayed (limited frequency state). May be configured}.

  Next, in step 1410-3, the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) determines the first main game content determination lottery table 1141a (second main game content) corresponding to each game state. Refer to the content determination lottery table 1142a) and change the main game symbol based on the main game symbol determination lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (first main game content determination random number) (particularly, the variation mode lottery random number). The mode is determined, and these are temporarily stored in the first main game symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b (second main game symbol information temporary storage unit 1192b), and the process proceeds to Step 1415.

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 3) is an example of a first main game content determination lottery table 1141a (second main game content determination lottery table 1142a) (in particular, an example of a variation mode determination table). . As shown in this example, the present embodiment is configured such that the variation mode (variation time) of the main game symbol is determined based on the main game symbol winning / losing lottery result and the main game short time flag state. In other words, when the main game symbol winning / losing lottery result is a win, it is easy to determine a variation mode in which the variation time is relatively long, and when the main game short-time flag is off (relative to the short-time game state) The variation mode in which the variation time is short is easily determined. This example is merely an example, and is not limited to the type of stop symbol, the selection rate, or the like. Further, in the present embodiment, for convenience of explanation, it is not configured to have a different table according to the number of reserved balls, but needless to say, it may be configured to have a different table according to the number of reserved balls. Absent. Furthermore, the symbol variation time on the first main game side in the time reduction game state (when the main game short time flag is on) may be configured to be relatively long (the symbol on the second main game side). When the change is configured to be advantageous for the player, the second main game side is likely to be suspended by reducing the symbol variation efficiency on the first main game side (advantageous for the player). This is particularly effective when the start port on the first main game side and the start port on the second main game side cannot be distinguished).

  Next, in step 1415, the information transmission control means 1300 causes the command (stop symbol) relating to the main game symbol temporarily stored in the first main game symbol information temporary storage means 1191b (second main game symbol information temporary storage means 1192b). Information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) and a command related to the current gaming state (symbol variation display start instruction command) are set in the command transmission buffer 1301 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit 2320 side. . Next, in step 1416, the first main game symbol variation time management means 1151a (second main game symbol variation time management means 1152a) uses the predetermined time related to the variation time of the main game symbol for the first main game symbol variation management. The timer 1151a-1 (second main game symbol variation management timer 1152a-1) is set. In step 1417, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152) is the first main game symbol of the first main game symbol display device 2130 (second main game symbol display device 2230). On the display unit 2131 (second main game symbol display unit 2231), in accordance with the variation mode stored in the first main game symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b (second main game symbol information temporary storage unit 1192b), Start the variable display. Next, in step 1418, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152) turns on the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). To do. In step 1420, the first main game symbol variation time management means 1151a (second main game symbol variation time management means 1152a) determines whether or not a predetermined time relating to the variation time of the main game symbol has been reached. If Yes in step 1420, in step 1422, the information transmission control unit 1300 transmits a command transmission symbol (symbol confirmation display instruction command) to the sub-main control unit 2320, indicating that the symbol variation has ended. Set to 1301. Next, in step 1423, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152) makes the first main game of the first main game symbol display device 2130 (second main game symbol display device 2230). The variable display of the main game symbol on the symbol display unit 2131 (second main game symbol display unit 2231) is stopped, and the first main game symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b (second main game symbol information temporary storage unit 1192b) is stopped. The stored stop symbol is displayed and controlled as a fixed stop symbol. Next, in step 1424, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152) turns off the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). To.

  Next, in step 1430, the special game transition determining means 1135a determines whether or not the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a jackpot symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1430, in step 1432, the special game transition determining unit 1135a turns on the condition device operation flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a). On the other hand, if No at step 1430, step 1432 is skipped.

  Next, at step 1450, main controller 1000 executes a specific game end determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process at step 1500). In the case of No in step 1434, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500).

  In the case of No in step 1403, in step 1419, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152), the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). ), It is determined whether or not the changing flag is ON. If YES in step 1419, the process proceeds to step 1420. If NO in step 1419, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination process according to the subroutine of step 1450 in FIG. First, in step 1452, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time / count counter 1181a to determine whether or not the time / count counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1454, the specific game control means 1180 subtracts 1 from the time-count counter value of the time-count counter 1181a.

Further, when the number of continuous transitions to the probability variation gaming state reaches a predetermined number, it may be configured to forcibly transition to the non-probability variation gaming state after the arrival.

  Next, in step 9006, the specific game control means 1180 sets a predetermined number of times (for example, 70 times) as the value of the time reduction number counter 1181a. Next, in step 9008, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the main game short time flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and the main game short time flag in the second flag temporary storage means 1192a. Next, in step 9010, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the auxiliary game short time flag in the game state temporary storage means 1190, and returns to the caller of this subroutine. As described above, in this embodiment, regardless of whether or not a specific area 2224 is entered during execution of a special game, the game is always shifted to a time-reduced game state with a limited number of times after the special game ends. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and there is no entry into the specific area 2224 during execution of the special game (in other words, after the special game is over, the game does not enter the probability variation game state). ) May be configured not to shift to the time-saving gaming state.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 20 to 24, control processing executed on the sub-main control unit 2320 side will be described. First, FIG. 20 is a main flowchart on the sub-control board 2000 side (particularly on the sub-main control unit 2320 side) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. Here, the process of FIG. 5A is a process on the sub-board side that is executed after resetting when the gaming machine is powered on. That is, when the power to the gaming machine is turned on, the process proceeds to a loop process that repeatedly executes step 5000, which is a repetitive process routine of the sub-main control unit 2320. Here, when Step 5000 is executed, as shown in the process of FIG. 5B, first, in Step 5600, the effect display control means 2320 executes a hold information management process described later. Next, in step 5700, the effect display control means 2320 executes a decorative symbol display content determination process described later. Next, in step 5800, the effect display control means 2320 executes a decorative symbol display control process to be described later. Next, in step 6000, the effect display control means 2320 executes a special game display control process to be described later. Next, in step 6300, the effect display control means 2320 executes a special game display control process described later. Next, in step 6500, the effect display control means 2320 gives an error to the player and the game hall staff in accordance with the error information received from the main controller 1000 side (for example, the error display command transmitted in step 2242). An error notification process for notifying occurrence of the error is executed. Next, in step 7000, the effect display control means 2320 executes a display command transmission control process (transmits the command set in each process described above to the sub-sub control unit side), and ends the repeat process routine.

  As described above, the sub-main control unit adopts a form in which the sub-main routine (S5000 to S7000) is loop-processed after reset. Also, the process of FIG. 7C is an interrupt process of the sub main control unit 2320, and the signal from the STB signal line of the main control board 1000 described above is one terminal (in this example) of the CPU of the sub main control unit 2320. , NMI terminal) is a processing flow (step 4700). That is, when an NMI interrupt occurs in the CPU of the sub main control unit 2320 (when the STB signal line is turned on), in step 4800, the sub main control unit 2320 displays the command input port (from the main controller 1000 side). Check the data signal line input port). In step 4900, based on the confirmation result, the sub-main control unit 2320 is transmitted from the main control device 1000 side to the RAM on the sub-main control unit 2320 side (main-side information temporary storage unit 2321a in this example). The command is temporarily stored, and the process that was being executed immediately before this interrupt process is restored.

  Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the hold information management process according to the subroutine of step 5600 in FIG. First, in step 5602, the on-hold information display control unit 2323 refers to the main-side information temporary storage unit 2321a, and receives a new on-hold occurrence command (first main game symbol or second main game symbol) from the main controller 1000 side. It is determined whether or not the hold information relating to (1) has been received. In the case of Yes in step 5602, in step 5604, the drawing hold information display control means 2323 has a drawing hold counter in the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2323a (in this example, a maximum of four for the first main game, Add “1” to the maximum number of second main games. Next, in step 5606, the drawing hold information display control means 2323 draws hold information (particularly, a random value related to the main game symbol lottery) based on the hold occurrence command transmitted from the main controller 1000 side. The information is temporarily stored in the hold information temporary storage unit 2323a, and the process proceeds to Step 5620. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 5602, in step 5610, the drawing hold information display control means 2323 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a and has received the symbol variation display start instruction command from the main controller 1000 side? Determine whether or not. If YES in step 5610, in step 5612, the drawing hold information display control means 2323 subtracts “1” from the drawing hold counter in the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2323a. Next, in step 5614, the drawing hold information display control unit 2323 deletes the holding information related to the symbol variation from the drawing holding information temporary storage unit 2323a and shifts the remaining holding information. Next, in step 5616, the effect display control means 2320 accesses the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means 2322c, turns on the symbol content determination permission flag, and proceeds to step 5620. Next, in step 5620, the drawing hold information display control means 2323 makes full use of the effect display means 2310 on the effect display device 2140 (in particular, the first hold display portion 2312a and the second hold display portion 2312b). The same number of hold display lamps as the drawing hold counter value in the figure hold information temporary storage means 2323a are turned on and the process proceeds to the next process (decorative symbol display content determination process in step 5700). If No in step 5610, the process moves to step 5620.

  Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of step 5700 in FIG. First, in step 5702, the drawing display content determination unit 2322a refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage unit 2322c and determines whether or not the symbol content determination permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 5702, in step 5704, the drawing display content determination unit 2322a turns off the symbol content determination permission flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. Next, in step 5706, the figure display content determination unit 2322a determines the symbol information temporarily stored in the main-side information temporary storage unit 2321a (stop symbol / variation mode related to the main game symbol) and the figure variation content determination. With reference to the lottery table 2322a-1, the stop symbol and the variation mode of the decorative symbol are determined and temporarily stored in the equipment display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. Here, if the decorative symbol is a big hit (1A, 1B, 4A, 4B, 7A, 7B in this example), three symbols will be aligned, and if lost, the three symbols will not be aligned. It becomes.

  Next, in step 5708, the drawing display content determination unit 2322a turns on the symbol content determination flag in the drawing display related information temporary storage unit 2322c, and proceeds to the next processing (decorated symbol display control processing in step 5800). To do. Even in the case of No in step 5702, the process proceeds to the next process (decorative symbol display control process in step 5800).

  Next, FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 5800 in FIG. First, in step 5802, the decorative symbol display control unit 2322 determines whether or not the symbol content determination flag in the drawing display related information temporary storage unit 2322c is on. In the case of Yes in step 5802, in step 5804, the decorative symbol display control means 2322 turns off the symbol content determination flag in the drawing display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in step 5806, the decorative symbol display control unit 2322 turns on the symbol changing flag in the drawing display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. Next, in step 5809, the decorative symbol display control means 2322 starts the drawing variation time management timer 2322d, and proceeds to step 5810. In the case of No in step 5802, the process proceeds to step 5810.

  Next, in step 5810, the decorative symbol display control unit 2322 determines whether or not the symbol changing flag in the drawing display related information temporary storage unit 2322c is on. In the case of Yes in step 5810, in step 5812, the decorative symbol display control means 2322 changes the decorative symbol based on the fluctuation mode temporarily stored in the drawing change time management timer 2322d and the drawing display related information temporary storage means 2322c. It is determined whether or not the start timing has been reached. If Yes in step 5812, the decorative symbol display control means 2322 sets a decorative symbol change display command in step 5814, and the process proceeds to step 5830. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 5812, in step 5816, the decoration symbol display control means 2322 is based on the variation pattern temporarily stored in the drawing variation time management timer 2322d and the drawing display related information temporary storage means 2322c. It is determined whether or not the stop display timing (temporary stop display timing or final display timing) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 5816, the decorative symbol display control means 2322 sets a decorative symbol stop display command (temporary stop display command or fixed display command) in step 5818, and proceeds to step 5830. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 5816, in step 5820, the decorative symbol display control means 2322 displays the preview image based on the fluctuation mode temporarily stored in the drawing change time management timer 2322d and the drawing display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Whether or not the display timing of the reach image has been reached. If Yes in step 5820, the decorative symbol display control means 2322 sets an image display command related to the notice image or reach image in step 5822, and the process proceeds to step 5830. In the case of No in step 5820, the process proceeds to step 5830.

  Next, in step 5830, the decorative symbol display control unit 2322 determines whether or not the main game symbol is stopped and displayed (for example, referring to the main side information temporary storage unit 2321a, the main control device 1000 side starts the main game. It is determined whether or not information indicating that the symbol is stopped and displayed has been received). In the case of Yes in Step 5830, in Step 5832, the decorative symbol display control means 2322 stops and resets (zero clears) the drawing variation time management timer 2322d. Next, in step 5834, the decorative symbol display control means 2322 turns off the symbol changing flag in the drawing display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and proceeds to the next process (special game display control process in step 6300). To do. In addition, also when it is No at step 5810 or step 5830, it transfers to the next process (the display control process during special game of step 6300).

  Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the display control process during special game according to the subroutine of step 6300 in FIG. First, in step 6302, the effect display control means 2320 refers to the flag area of the effect general information temporary storage means 2324, and determines whether or not the special gaming flag is off. In the case of Yes in Step 6302, in Step 6304, the effect display control means 2320 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a and determines whether or not a special game start display instruction command is newly received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 6304, in step 6306 and step 6308, the effect display control means 2320 turns on the special game flag in the flag area of the effect general information temporary storage means 2324, and the big hit on the effect display device 2140. Start display is performed (appropriate display is performed based on the type of jackpot), and the process proceeds to step 6310. Note that the process moves to step 6310 also in the case of No in step 6302.

  Next, in step 6310, the effect display control means 2320 sequentially displays the number of rounds and the number of winnings on the effect display device 2140 based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main side (the type of game play or jackpot). Etc. based on the above etc.) Next, in step 6312, the effect display control means 2320 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a and determines whether or not a special game end display instruction command has been received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 6312, in step 6314, the effect display control means 2320 performs jackpot end display on the effect display device 2140 (appropriate display is performed based on the type of jackpot). Next, in step 6316, the effect display control means 2320 turns off the special game flag in the flag area of the effect general information temporary storage means 2324, and proceeds to the next process (error notification process in step 6500). It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 6304 and step 6312, the processing shifts to the next processing (error notification processing in step 6500).
