The front stage 244 can roll a ball discharged from the warp outlet 242b or a ball carried by a nail of the game board 200, and the passed ball is in the center of the front stage 244. A special route 244a is provided to facilitate entry to 230.

  The effect movable body 224 of this example includes a horizontally long flat panel on which the model name of the pachinko machine 100 and the like are displayed. The effect movable body 224 is movable by a stepping motor (not shown) so that the front of the decorative symbol display device 208 can be moved in the vertical direction within a plane substantially parallel to the display screen. Further, the pachinko machine 100 may include an effect movable body other than the effect movable body 224.

  The shielding device 246 includes a lattice-like left door 246a and right door 246b, and is disposed between the decorative symbol display device 208 and the front stage 244. Belts wound around two pulleys (not shown) are fixed to the upper portions of the left door 246a and the right door 246b, respectively. That is, the left door 246a and the right door 246b move to the left and right as the belt driven by the motor through the pulley moves. In the state where the left door 246a and the right door 246b are closed, the shielding device 246 covers the inner end portions of the shielding device 246 so that it is difficult for the player to visually recognize the decorative symbol display device 208. In the state where the left door 246a and the right door 246b are opened, each inner end portion slightly overlaps the outer end portion of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208, but the player can visually recognize all of the display of the decorative symbol display device 208. It is. In addition, the left door 246a and the right door 246b can be stopped at arbitrary positions, respectively, for example, only a part of the decorative design so that the player can identify which decorative design the displayed decorative design is. Can be shielded. In addition, the left door 246a and the right door 246b may be configured so that a part of the decorative symbol display device 208 behind the lattice hole can be visually recognized, or the shoji part of the lattice hole is closed with a translucent lens body. The display by the decorative symbol display device 208 may be made vaguely visible to the player, or the shoji part of the holes in the lattice is completely blocked (shielded), and the decorative symbol display device 208 behind is made completely invisible. Also good. The shielding device 246 of this example is configured to expose the lower end of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208 even when the left door 246a and the right door 246b are closed. As a result, the fourth symbol display area 208e located at the lower end of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208 is visible regardless of the open / closed state of the shielding device 246.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5E, the special figure 1 display device 212, the special figure 2 display device 214, the decorative symbol display device 208, and the universal figure display device 210 of the pachinko machine 100 are stopped and displayed. The types of figures and general drawings, and the special pattern fluctuation pattern (special figure fluctuation animation) on the special figure 1 display device 212 or the special figure 2 display device 214 will be described. FIG. 5 (a) shows an example of the stop symbol aspect of FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 (b) shows an example of the stop symbol aspect of FIG. The special figure 1 variable game is started on the condition that the first start port sensor detects that the ball has entered the special figure 1 start opening 230, and the special figure 2 start opening 232 indicates that the ball has entered 2 The special figure 2 variable game is started on condition that the start sensor is detected. When the special figure 1 variable game is started, the special figure 1 display device 212 performs “variable display of special figure 1” of the special pattern fluctuation pattern (special figure fluctuation animation) shown in FIG. Also, in the special figure 1 variable game, “fluctuation display of special figure 1” may be performed in which all of the seven segments are turned on and the central one segment is turned on. When the special figure 2 variable game is started, the special figure 2 display device 214 displays “variable display of special figure 1” of the special figure fluctuation pattern (special figure fluctuation animation) shown in FIG. Do. Further, in the special figure 2 variable game, “fluctuation display of special figure 2” may be performed in which all the seven segments are turned on and one central segment is turned on. These “variation display of special figure 1” and “variation display of special figure 2” correspond to an example of the symbol fluctuation display in the present embodiment. When the fluctuation time determined before the start of the fluctuation in FIG. 1 elapses, the special figure 1 display device 212 stops and displays the stop symbol form of the special figure 1 and the fluctuation time determined before the fluctuation starts in the special figure 2. After the elapse, the special figure 2 display device 214 stops and displays the stop symbol form of the special figure 2. Therefore, from the start of “figure display of special figure 1” until the stop symbol form of special figure 1 is stopped, or after the start of “fluctuation display of special figure 2”, the stop symbol form of special figure 2 is displayed. Until stop display corresponds to an example of the symbol fluctuation stop display referred to in the present embodiment, the stop symbol mode of special figure 1 or 2 is stopped and displayed after the "fluctuation display of special figure 1 or 2" is started. A series of displays until this is done is referred to as symbol variation stop display. The symbol variation stop display may be continuously performed a plurality of times.

  FIG. 5 (a) shows seven types of special charts, "Special Figure A" to "Special Figure G", as the stop symbol forms in the symbol fluctuation stop display of Special Figure 1. In FIG. 5A, the white portions in the figure indicate the segment locations where the light is turned off, and the black portions indicate the location where the segments are turned on. "Special Figure A" is a 15 round (15R) special jackpot symbol, "Special Figure B" is a 7R special jackpot symbol, and "Special Figure C" is a 7R jackpot symbol. In the pachinko machine 100 of the present embodiment, whether or not a big hit in the special figure variable game is determined by lottery of hardware random numbers, and whether or not a special big hit is determined and the number of rounds are determined by lottery of software random numbers. The difference between the jackpot and the special jackpot is the difference in whether the probability of winning the jackpot is high (special jackpot) or low (jackpot) in the next special figure variation game. Hereinafter, a state with a high probability of winning the jackpot is referred to as a special figure high probability state (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “special figure certain change” or simply “probable change”), and a state with a low probability is specially designated. This is called a low probability state. In addition, after the 15R special jackpot game ends, after the 7R special jackpot game ends and after the 7R jackpot game ends, the state shifts to the time-saving state (electric support state). Although the short time will be described in detail later, the short time state is referred to as a normal high probability state (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “general probability change”), and the non-short time state is referred to as a general low probability state. “Special Figure A”, which is a 15R special jackpot symbol, and “Special Figure B”, which is a 7R special jackpot symbol, are symbols that become a special figure high-probability common figure high-probability state, and “Special Figure C” that is a 7R jackpot symbol. Is a symbol that becomes a special figure low probability normal figure high probability state. These “special drawing A”, “special drawing B”, and “special drawing C” are symbols that have a relatively large advantage over the player.

  “Special figure D” is a 2R jackpot symbol called sudden probability change, which is a special figure high probability normal figure high probability state. That is, “Special Figure D” is 2R compared to “Special Figure A” which is 15R and “Special Figure B” which is 7R.

  “Special figure E” is a 2R jackpot symbol called latent probability variation or hidden probability variation. As will be described later, when “Special Figure E” is stopped and displayed in the special figure low probability normal figure low probability state, the special figure high probability normal figure low probability state (so-called “open” time 100 ms × 2R) ends. If the special figure E is stopped and displayed in a state other than the low probability state, the special figure high probability will be displayed after the big hit game (opening time 29000 ms × 2R). Transition to the high probability state shown in FIG. 11 (see FIGS. 11A and 11B). In other words, the “special figure E” indicates that the action during the big hit game and the game state to be shifted thereafter are determined according to the game state when the stop display is made (in this example, whether or not the special figure low probability normal figure low probability state). It is a different design.

  “Special figure F” is a small hit symbol, and is a special figure low probability normal figure low probability state. Further, the “special chart G” is an off-line symbol, and is a symbol that is relatively less advantageous to the player.

  FIG. 5 (b) shows four types of special figures “Special figure a” to “Special figure d” as stop symbol forms in the symbol fluctuation stop display of Special figure 2. “Special figure a” is a 15R special jackpot symbol, “Special figure b” is a 7R special jackpot symbol, “Special figure c” is a 7R jackpot symbol, and “Special figure d” is a missed symbol. In the present embodiment, seven types of special maps (of which five types are big hits) are used as the special symbol 2 as the special symbols 1 to 7 as shown in FIG. As the stop symbol pattern, four types of special maps (three of which are big hits) are used. By configuring in this way, there is a case where it is possible to provide a difference between the advantages of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 without changing the probability of being a big hit and the probability of being probable among the big wins. In this example, the big hit of Special Figure 1 includes sudden probability changes and latent probability changes that hardly give out balls, whereas the big hit of Special Figure 2 does not include sudden probability changes and latent probability changes. The advantage of special figure 2 is higher than that of special figure 1.

  FIG. 5 (c) shows an example of a decorative design. There are 10 types of decoration patterns of the present embodiment: “Decoration 1” to “Decoration 10”. “Decoration 1” to “Decoration 9” and “Decoration 10” represent the numbers “1” to “9” and “0”, respectively. The first start port sensor detects that a ball has won the special figure 1 starting port 230 or the special figure 2 starting port 232, that is, the ball has entered the special figure 1 starting port 230, or the special figure 2 Each of the left symbol display area 208a, the middle symbol display area 208b, and the right symbol display area 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 is provided on the condition that the second start port sensor detects that a ball has entered the start port 232. In the symbol display area, “decoration 1” → “decoration 2” → “decoration 3” →... → “decoration 9” → “decoration 10” → “decoration 1” →. “Change design of symbols”.

  And then, "Special Figure A" 15R special jackpot, "Special Figure B" 7R special jackpot, "Special Figure C" 7R big jackpot, "Special Figure a" 15R special jackpot, "Special Figure b" 7R special jackpot When the 7R jackpot of “special drawing c” is notified, a combination of symbols in which three same decorative symbols are arranged in the symbol display areas 208a to 208c (for example, “decoration 1—decoration 1—decoration 1” or “decoration 2— Display “decoration 2—decoration 2”). When the 15R special jackpot of “Special Figure A” and the 15R special jackpot of “Special Figure a” are explicitly notified, a combination of three symbols with the same odd number of decorative symbols (for example, “Decoration 3-Decoration 3- “Decoration 3”, “decoration 7-decoration 7-decoration 7”, etc.) are stopped and displayed.

  In addition, when notifying 2R big hit called “special drawing E” latent probability change (hidden probability change) or “special drawing F” small hit, “decoration 1-decoration 2-decoration 3” is stopped and displayed. To do. When a 2R jackpot called “sudden change” of “special drawing D” is notified, “decoration 1-decoration 3—decoration 5” is stopped and displayed. On the other hand, when notifying of the difference between “special drawing G” and “special drawing d”, symbol combinations other than the symbol combinations shown in FIG. 5C are stopped and displayed in the symbol display areas 208a to 208c.

  FIG.5 (d) shows an example of the usual stop display symbol. In the present embodiment, there are two types of stoppage display modes of “normal map A”, which is a winning symbol, and “general symbol B”, which is a missed symbol. Based on the fact that the above-mentioned gate sensor has detected that the sphere has passed through the general start port 228, the general map display device 210 repeats the lighting of all seven segments and the lighting of one central segment. Perform a “normal change display”. Then, when notifying the winning of the common figure variable game, the “normal figure A” is stopped and displayed, and when notifying the deviation of the common figure variable game, the “normal figure B” is stopped and displayed. Also in FIG. 5D, the white portions in the figure indicate the segment locations where the light is extinguished, and the black portions indicate the location of the segments where the light is illuminated.

  FIG. 5 (e) shows an example of a special figure fluctuation pattern (special figure fluctuation animation). In FIG. 5 (e), the white portions in the figure indicate the segment locations where the light is extinguished, and the black portions indicate the location where the segments are illuminated. As shown in FIG. 5 (e), in the variable display of symbols executed by the special figure 1 display device 212 or the special figure 2 display device 214, all the seven segments are lit, and the upper horizontal one segment is displayed. Illumination, lighting of the upper two vertical segments, lighting of the middle horizontal segment, lighting of the lower vertical two segments, lighting of the lower horizontal one segment are repeated in this order. . Further, one cycle of the special figure fluctuation pattern (special figure fluctuation animation) is, for example, 3000 ms.

  In the variable display of symbols executed by the special figure 1 display device 212 or the special figure 2 display device 214, at the end of the fluctuation time of the special figure, from one of the display modes shown in FIG. ) And (b) are switched to the stop symbol display mode, and the stop symbol is stopped and displayed. In addition, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern (special figure 1 fluctuation animation) executed by the special figure 1 display device 212 and the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern (special figure 2 fluctuation animation) executed by the special figure 2 display device 214. The variation pattern may be different.

  Next, main control unit main processing executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of main processing of the main control unit. As described above, the main control unit 300 is provided with the start signal output circuit (reset signal output circuit) 340 that outputs the start signal (reset signal) when the power is turned on. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 to which this activation signal is input executes a main control unit main process according to a control program stored in advance in the ROM 306 after resetting by a reset interrupt.

  First, in step S101, initial setting 1 is performed. In the initial setting 1, the stack initial value is set in the stack pointer (SP) of the CPU 304 (temporary setting), the interrupt mask is set, the I / O 310 is initialized, the various variables stored in the RAM 308 are initialized, and the WDT 314 is set. Enable operation, set initial values, etc. In this embodiment, a numerical value corresponding to 32.8 ms is set in WDT 314 as an initial value.

  In step S103 following step S101, the value of the counter of WDT 314 is cleared, and the time measurement by WDT 314 is restarted. In step S105 subsequent to step S103, whether or not the low voltage signal is ON, that is, the voltage value of the power supply that the voltage monitoring circuit 338 supplies from the power supply control unit 660 to the main control unit 300 is a predetermined value. When it is less than (9 V in this example), it is monitored whether or not a low voltage signal indicating that the voltage has dropped is output. Then, when the low voltage signal is on (when the CPU 304 detects that the power supply is cut off), the process returns to step S103, and when the low voltage signal is off (when the CPU 304 does not detect that the power supply is cut off), the step is performed. The process proceeds to S107. Even when the predetermined value (9 V) is not yet reached immediately after the power is turned on, the process returns to step S103, and step S105 is repeatedly executed until the supply voltage becomes equal to or higher than the predetermined value.

  In step S107, initial setting 2 is performed. In the initial setting 2, a process for setting a numerical value for determining a cycle for executing a main control unit timer interrupt process, which will be described later, in the counter timer 312, a predetermined port of the I / O 310 (for example, a test output port, a second output port, etc.) 1) a process of outputting a clear signal from the output port 1), a setting for permitting writing to the RAM 308, and the like.

  In step S109 subsequent to step S107, it is determined whether or not the state before power interruption (before power interruption) is restored. If the state before power interruption is not restored (the basic circuit 302 of the main control unit 300 is changed). In the case of initializing), the process proceeds to initialization processing (step S113). Specifically, first, a RAM clear signal transmitted when an RWM clear switch 180 provided on the power supply board 182 is operated by a store clerk or the like is on (indicating that there has been an operation). That is, it is determined whether or not RAM clear is necessary. If the RAM clear signal is on (RAM clear is necessary), the process proceeds to step S113 to set the basic circuit 302 to the initial state. On the other hand, when the RAM clear signal is OFF (when the RAM clear is not necessary), the power status information stored in the power status storage area provided in the RAM 308 is read, and the power status information is information indicating suspend. It is determined whether or not. If the power status information is not information indicating suspend, the process proceeds to step S113 to set the basic circuit 302 to the initial state. If the power status information is information indicating suspend, all 1-byte data stored in a predetermined area (for example, all areas) of the RAM 308 is added to a 1-byte register whose initial value is 0. Thus, the checksum is calculated, and it is determined whether or not the calculated checksum result is a specific value (for example, 0) (whether or not the checksum result is normal). When the checksum result is a specific value (eg, 0) (when the checksum result is normal), the process proceeds to step S111 to return to the state before the power interruption, and the checksum result is a specific value. If the value is other than 0 (for example, 0) (if the result of the checksum is abnormal), the process proceeds to step S113 to set the pachinko machine 100 to the initial state.

  In step S111, power recovery processing is performed. In this power recovery process, the value of the stack pointer stored in the stack pointer save area provided in the RAM 308 at the time of power failure is read and reset to the stack pointer (this setting). In addition, the value of each register stored in the register save area provided in the RAM 308 at the time of power interruption is read out and reset in each register, and then the interrupt permission is set. Thereafter, as a result of the CPU 304 executing the control program based on the reset stack pointer and registers, the pachinko machine 100 returns to the state when the power is turned off. That is, the processing is resumed from the instruction next to the instruction (predetermined in step S115) performed immediately before branching to the timer interrupt process (described later) immediately before the power interruption. The RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with a transmission information storage area. In step S111, a power recovery command is set in the transmission information storage area. This power recovery command is a command indicating that the power has been restored to the state at the time of power-off. In the command setting transmission process (step S233) in the timer interrupt process of the main control unit 300, which will be described later, the first sub control unit 400. Sent to.

  In step S113, initialization processing is performed. In this initialization process, interrupt prohibition setting, stack initial value setting to the stack pointer (this setting), initialization of all storage areas of the RAM 308, and the like are performed. Further, here, a normal return command is set in the transmission information storage area provided in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300. This normal return command is a command indicating that the initialization process (step S113) of the main control unit 300 has been performed, and, like the power recovery command, the command setting transmission process (in the timer interrupt process of the main control unit 300) ( In step S233), the data is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

  In step S115 subsequent to step S113, the basic random number initial value updating process is performed after setting the interrupt prohibition. In this basic random number initial value update process, three initial value generations for generating the initial values of the three random number counters for generating the normal winning random number value, the special figure 1 random value, and the special figure 2 random value respectively. The random number counter for use and the two random number counters for generating each of the random number value for determining the usual figure variation time and the random value for determining the special figure fluctuation time are updated. For example, if the numerical value range that can be taken as the random number value for determining the normal time variation is 0 to 100, the value is acquired from the random number counter storage area for generating the random value for determining the normal time variation time provided in the RAM 308 and acquired. Then, 1 is added to the obtained value and stored in the original random number counter storage area. At this time, if the result of adding 1 to the acquired value is 101, 0 is stored in the original random number counter storage area. Other initial value generation random number counters and random number counters are similarly updated. The initial value generation random number counter is also updated in a basic random number initial value update process (step S207) described later. The main control unit 300 repeatedly executes the process of step S115 except during a timer interrupt process that starts every predetermined period.

  Next, the main control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the main control unit timer interrupt process. The main control unit 300 includes a counter timer 312 that generates a timer interrupt signal at a predetermined cycle (in this example, about once every 2 ms), and the main control unit timer interrupt processing is triggered by this timer interrupt signal. At a predetermined cycle.

  First, in step S201, a timer interrupt start process is performed. In this timer interrupt start process, a process of temporarily saving each register value of the CPU 304 to the stack area is performed. In step S203 following step S201, the WDT 314 is periodically updated so that the WDT 314 count value exceeds the initial setting value (32.8 ms in this example) and no WDT interruption occurs (so as not to detect a processing abnormality). Therefore (in this example, the restart is performed once in about 2 ms, which is the period of the main control unit timer interrupt).

  In step S205 subsequent to step S203, input port state update processing is performed. In this input port state update process, the detection signals of various sensors 320 including the above-mentioned front frame door open sensor, inner frame open sensor, lower pan full sensor, and various ball detection sensors are input via the input port of the I / O 310. The input is monitored for the presence or absence of a detection signal, and stored in a signal state storage area provided for each of the various sensors 320 in the RAM 308. If the detection signal of the sphere detection sensor is described as an example, information on the presence / absence of the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor detected in the timer interruption process (about 4 ms before) is stored in the RAM 308 for each sphere detection sensor. This information is read out from the previous detection signal storage area partitioned and stored in the RAM 308 in the previous detection signal storage area partitioned for each sphere detection sensor, and the previous timer interrupt processing (about 2 ms before) ) Is read from the current detection signal storage area provided for each sphere detection sensor in the RAM 308, and this information is read out from the previous detection signal storage area described above. To remember. Further, the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor detected this time is stored in the above-described current detection signal storage area.

  Further, in step S205, the information on the presence or absence of the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor stored in each storage area of the above-mentioned detection signal storage area, the previous detection signal storage area, and the current detection signal storage area is compared. It is determined whether or not the information on the presence or absence of detection signals for the past three times in the ball detection sensor matches the winning determination pattern information. This main control unit timer interrupt process that is repeatedly started at a very short interval of about 2 ms while one game ball passes one ball detection sensor is started several times. For this reason, every time the main control unit timer interrupt process is activated, a detection signal indicating that the same game ball has passed the same ball detection sensor is confirmed in step S205. As a result, a detection signal indicating that the same game ball has passed the same ball detection sensor is stored in each of the detection signal storage area, the previous detection signal storage area, and the current detection signal storage area. That is, when the game ball starts to pass through the ball detection sensor, there is no detection signal before the previous time, there is a previous detection signal, and there is a detection signal this time. In the present embodiment, in consideration of erroneous detection and noise of the sphere detection sensor, it is determined that there is a prize when the detection signal is stored twice continuously after no detection signal.

  In the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300, winning determination pattern information (in this embodiment, information indicating that there is no previous detection signal, that there is a previous detection signal, and that there is a current detection signal) is stored. In step S205, information on the presence or absence of detection signals for the past three times in each sphere detection sensor is pre-determined winning determination pattern information (in this embodiment, no previous detection signal, previous detection signal present, current detection signal present). In the case of the general winning opening 226, the variable winning openings 234, 235, the special figure 1 starting opening 230, and the special figure 2 starting opening 232, or the ordinary drawing starting opening 228. Is determined to have passed. In other words, it is determined that there has been a winning at these winning ports 226, 234, 235 and the starting ports 230, 232, 228. For example, when the information on the presence / absence of the detection signals for the past three matches with the above-described winning determination pattern information in the general winning opening sensor for detecting the winning at the general winning opening 226, there is a winning at the general winning opening 226. If the information on the presence / absence of detection signals for the past three times does not match the above-described winning determination pattern information, the subsequent general winnings are performed. The process branches to the subsequent process without performing the process associated with winning the prize to the mouth 226.

  The ROM 306 of the main control unit 300 stores winning determination clear pattern information (in the present embodiment, information indicating that there is a detection signal before, no previous detection signal, no current detection signal). After it is determined that there has been a single win, it is not determined that there has been a win until the information on the presence or absence of detection signals for the past three times matches the winning determination clear pattern information in each ball detection sensor, and the winning determination is cleared. If it matches the pattern information, it is next determined whether or not it matches the winning determination pattern information.

  In step S207 subsequent to step S205, a basic random number initial value update process is performed, and in the next step S209, a basic random number update process is performed. In these basic random number initial value update processing and basic random number update processing, the initial value generation random number counter performed in step S115 is updated, and then used in the main control unit 300. Three random number counters for generating one random value and one special figure 2 random value are updated. For example, if the range of values that can be taken as a random number value for a normal winning number is 0 to 100, a value is acquired from a random number counter storage area for generating a normal winning random number value provided in the RAM 308, and 1 is added to the acquired value. Then, it is stored in the original random number counter storage area. At this time, if the result of adding 1 to the acquired value is 101, 0 is stored in the original random number counter storage area. If it is determined that the random number counter has made a round as a result of adding 1 to the acquired value, the value of the initial value generating random number counter corresponding to each random number counter is acquired, and the random number counter storage area Set to.

  For example, a value is acquired from a random number counter for generating a regular winning random number that fluctuates in a numerical range of 0 to 100, and a result obtained by adding 1 to the acquired value is stored in a predetermined initial value storage area provided in the RAM 308. If the value is equal to the previously set initial value (for example, 7), the value is acquired as an initial value from the initial value generation random number counter corresponding to the random number counter for generating the random number for winning the normal number, The initial value set this time is stored in the above-mentioned initial value storage area in order to determine that the random number counter for generating a normal winning random value has made one round next, in addition to setting the random number counter for generating a winning random value Keep it. In addition to the initial value storage area described above for determining that the random number counter for generating a random number for generating a regular figure has made one round next, a random number counter for generating a special figure 1 random value and a special figure 2 random value The RAM 308 is provided with an initial value storage area for determining that each of the generation random number counters has made one round. In the present embodiment, the counter for acquiring the special figure 1 random value and the counter for acquiring the special figure 2 random value are provided separately, but the same counter may be used.

  In step S211 following step S209, effect random number update processing is performed. In this effect random number update process, a random number counter for generating an effect random number used by the main control unit 300 is updated.

  In step S213 following step S211, timer update processing is performed. In this timer update process, the time for displaying and changing the symbol on the special symbol display device 212 and the time for displaying and changing the symbol on the special symbol display device 212 are counted. Special figure 1 display symbol update timer, Special figure 2 display symbol update timer for measuring the time for the symbol to be changed / stopped on the special figure 2 display device 214, a predetermined winning effect time, a predetermined opening time, a predetermined time Various timers including a timer for counting the closing time, a predetermined end effect period, and the like are updated.

  In step S215 subsequent to step S213, a winning opening counter updating process is performed. In this winning opening counter updating process, when the winning openings 226, 234, 235 and the starting openings 230, 232, 228 have been won, the number of winning balls stored in the RAM 308 for each winning opening or for each starting opening is stored. The value of the area is read and 1 is added to set the original prize ball number storage area.

  In step S217 following step S215, a winning acceptance process is performed. In the winning acceptance process, it is determined whether or not there has been a winning at the special figure 1 starting port 230, the special figure 2 starting port 232, the ordinary drawing starting port 228, and the variable winning ports 234 and 235. Here, the determination is made using the determination result of whether or not it matches the winning determination pattern information in step S205.

  When the special figure 1 starting port 230 is won and the corresponding special figure 1 holding number storage area provided in the RAM 308 is not full, the special figure 1 starting port 230 of the random number generation circuit (hard random number circuit) 318 A special figure 1 winning random number value generated by performing predetermined processing on a value stored in a corresponding built-in counter value storage register is acquired, and a special figure is generated from a special figure 1 random number generation random number counter provided in the RAM 308. One random value is acquired and stored in the special figure 1 random value storage area in the order of acquisition. The special figure 1 winning random number values and the special figure 1 random number values in the special figure 1 random value storage area are stored in the same number as the special figure 1 reservation number stored in the special figure 1 reservation number storage area. In the special figure 1 random value storage area, each time the special figure 1 holding number decreases, the data of the combination of the special figure 1 winning random number and the special figure 1 random value having the highest holding order (first) is deleted. At the same time, processing is performed so that the data holding order of the remaining special figure 1 winning random number value and special figure 1 random value group is incremented by one. Also, each time the special figure 1 holding number increases, a new special figure 1 is added to the next holding order of the data of the combination of the special figure 1 winning random number value and the special figure 1 random value having the lowest (last) holding order. The data of a set of winning random numbers and special figure 1 random values is written.

  When the special figure 2 starting port 232 is won and the corresponding special figure 2 reserved number storage area provided in the RAM 308 is not full, a built-in counter corresponding to the special figure 2 starting port 232 of the random number generation circuit 318 The special figure 2 winning random number value generated by performing predetermined processing on the value stored in the value storage register is acquired, and the special figure 2 random number value is acquired from the special figure 2 random value generation random number counter provided in the RAM 308. Then, they are stored in the special figure 2 random value storage area in the order of acquisition. The special figure 2 winning random number values and the special figure 2 random number values in the special figure 2 random number storage area are stored in the same number as the special figure 2 reservation number stored in the special figure 2 reservation number storage area. In the special figure 2 random value storage area, each time the special figure 2 hold number decreases, the data of the combination of the special figure 2 winning random value and the special figure 2 random value with the highest holding order is deleted, and the remainder The special ranking 2 winning random number value and the special figure 2 random value set data are processed so that the holding order is incremented by one. Each time the special figure 2 hold number increases by one, a special special figure 2 winning random number value is added to the next holding rank of the data of the special figure 2 winning random number value and the special figure 2 random value group having the lowest holding order. And special figure 2 random value set data is written.

  Also, special figure 1 starting information (a pair of special figure 1 winning random value and special figure 1 random value) or special figure 2 starting information (a pair of special figure 2 winning random value and special figure 2 random value) has been newly acquired. In this case, the special figure prefetching process is executed using the start information. Details of the special figure prefetching process will be described later.

  If a win is received at the general figure starting port 228 and the corresponding general figure holding number storage area provided in the RAM 308 is not full, a value is obtained as a normal figure winning random number value from the random number counter for generating the normal figure winning random number value. Are stored in the corresponding ordinary random number storage area. When there is a winning at the variable winning opening 234, information indicating that a ball has entered the variable winning opening 234 is stored in the winning storage area for the variable winning opening 234. When a winning is made at the variable winning opening 235, information indicating that a ball has entered the variable winning opening 235 is stored in the winning storage area for the variable winning opening 235.

  In step S219 following step S217, a payout request number transmission process is performed. Note that the output schedule information and the payout request information output to the payout control unit 600 are composed of, for example, 1 byte, strobe information (indicating that data is set when ON), bit 6 Power-on information (if turned on, indicates that this is the first command transmission after power-on), bits 4-5 indicate the current processing type for encryption (0-3), and bits 0-3 indicate encryption The number of payout requests after processing is shown.

  In step S221 following step S219, a normal state update process is performed. This normal state update process performs one of a plurality of processes corresponding to the normal state. For example, in the general diagram state update process in the middle of the normal map change display (the value of the above-mentioned general map display symbol update timer is 1 or more), the 7 segment LED constituting the general map display device 210 is repeatedly turned on and off. Turns off drive control. By performing this control, the general map display device 210 performs normal variable display (normal map variable game).

  Also, in the general state update process at the timing when the normal map change display time has elapsed (the timing at which the value of the general map display symbol update timer has changed from 1 to 0), When the 7-segment LED constituting the general-purpose display device 210 is turned on / off to control the display mode, and the normal-map hit flag is off, the general-purpose display is displayed so that the display mode of the off symbol is displayed. The 7 segment LED constituting the device 210 is controlled to be turned on / off. Further, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with a setting area for performing various settings in various processes, not limited to the normal state update process. Here, the above-described lighting / extinguishing drive control is performed, and the setting area is set to indicate that the normal stop display is being performed. By performing this control, the universal symbol display device 210 determines the symbol of either the winning symbol (general symbol A shown in FIG. 5 (d)) or the off symbol (general symbol B shown in FIG. 5 (d)). Display. Thereafter, information indicating the stop period is set in a storage area of a normal stop time management timer provided in the RAM 308 to maintain the display for a predetermined stop display period (for example, 500 ms). With this setting, the symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is stopped and displayed for a predetermined period, and the player is notified of the result of the normal game.

  Further, if the result of the usual figure variable game is a hit, the usual figure hit flag is turned on. When the usual figure hit flag is on, in the usual figure state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period ends (when the usual figure stop time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), A normal operation is set in the setting area, and a predetermined opening period (for example, 2 seconds), a solenoid for driving to open / close the blade member 232a of the special opening 2 232 (a part of various solenoids 332), A signal for holding 232a in the open state is output, and information indicating the open period is set in the storage area of the blade open time management timer provided in the RAM 308.

  Further, in the usual state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined opening period ends (the timing when the value of the blade opening time management timer is changed from 1 to 0), the predetermined closing period (for example, 500 ms), A signal for holding the blade member in the closed state is output to the solenoid 332 for opening and closing driving, and information indicating the closing period is set in the storage area of the blade closing time management timer provided in the RAM 308.

  Further, in the normal state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined closing period ends (when the value of the blade closing time management timer is changed from 1 to 0), the non-operating state is set in the setting area of the RAM 308. To do. Furthermore, if the result of the usual figure fluctuation game is out of place, the usual figure flag is turned off. In the case where the usual figure hit flag is off, even in the usual figure state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period described above ends (when the value of the usual figure stop time management timer is changed from 1 to 0), In the setting area of the RAM 308, normal operation inactive is set. In the general state update process in the case where the general map is not operating, nothing is done and the process proceeds to the next step S223.

  In step S223, a general drawing related lottery process is performed. In this general map-related lottery process, the open / close control of the general map variable game and the special map 2 start port 232 is not performed (the state of the normal map is not in operation), and the number of the general map variable games that are on hold When the number is 1 or more, it is determined whether or not the result of the usual figure variation game is won or not by the random lottery based on the usual figure winning random number value stored in the above random number value storage area. Make a hit judgment. In the case of winning, the flag for the usual figure provided in the RAM 308 is set to ON, and in the case of not winning, the flag for the usual figure is set to OFF. In addition, regardless of the result of the hit determination, the value of the random number counter for generating the random time value for determining the normal fluctuation time described above is acquired as the random value for determining the normal fluctuation time, and the acquired normal fluctuation time is determined. Based on the random number value, one time for displaying the variable map on the general map display device 210 is selected from a plurality of variable times, and this variable display time is set as a normal map variable display time in the RAM 308. Store in the variable time storage area. In addition, the number of pending general figure variable games is stored in the general figure pending number storage area provided in the RAM 308, and from the number of pending general figure variable games each time a hit determination is made. The value obtained by subtracting 1 is re-stored in the usual figure number-of-holds storage area. Also, the random number value used for the hit determination is deleted.

  Next, the special figure state update process for each of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 is performed. First, the special figure state update process (the special figure 2 state update process) for the special figure 2 is performed (step S225). In the special figure 2 state update process, one of the following processes is performed according to the state of the special figure 2.

  For example, in the special figure 2 state update process in the middle of the special figure 2 fluctuation display (the value of the special figure 2 display symbol update timer described above is 1 or more), the 7-segment LED constituting the special figure 2 display device 214 is turned on and off. Repeatedly turn on / off drive control. By performing this control, the special figure 2 display device 214 performs the special figure 2 variable display (special figure 2 variable game). In addition, predetermined transmission information indicating that the rotation start setting transmission process is to be executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the above-described transmission information storage area, and the process ends.

  Further, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with flags such as a 15R big hit flag, a 7R big hit flag, a 2R big hit flag, a small hit flag, a loss flag, a special figure probability fluctuation flag, and a normal figure probability fluctuation flag. . These flags are set to ON or OFF based on the stop symbol determined in the special figure 2 related lottery process described later. In the special figure 2 state update process starting at the timing when the special figure 2 variable display time has elapsed (the timing when the special figure 2 display symbol update timer value has changed from 1 to 0), for example, when the 15R big hit flag is on 5 (b) shows that the special figure a, the 7R big hit flag is on, and the special figure probability fluctuation flag is on, the special figure b, the 7R big hit flag is on, and the special figure probability fluctuation flag is off. When the special flag c and the off flag are turned on, the 7-segment LED constituting the special figure 2 display device 214 is controlled to be turned on / off so that the special figure d is displayed. 2 is set to indicate that the stop display is being performed. By performing this control, the special figure 2 display device 214 performs fixed display of any one of the special figures a to d.

  Thereafter, in order to maintain the display for a predetermined stop display period (for example, 500 ms), information indicating the stop period is set in the storage area of the special figure 2 stop time management timer provided in the RAM 308. With this setting, the specially displayed special figure 2 is stopped and displayed for a predetermined period, and the result of the special figure 2 variable game is notified to the player. In addition, if the time reduction number stored in the time reduction number storage unit provided in the RAM 308 is 1 or more, 1 is subtracted from the time reduction number, and if the subtraction result becomes 1 to 0, the special figure probability is changing. If not, turn off the time flag. Further, the hourly flag is also turned off during the big hit game (in the special game state). Also, if the probability variation number stored in the probability variation number storage unit provided in the RAM 308 is 1 or more, 1 is subtracted from the probability variation number, and if the subtraction result is 1 to 0, the special figure probability variation flag. Turn off.

  Further, the special transmission information indicating that the rotation stop setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the above-described transmission information storage area, and the design for stopping the variable display is shown in FIG. The special figure 2 identification information indicating the presence is additionally stored in the RAM 308 as information to be included in command data, which will be described later, and the processing is terminated.

  Further, if the result of the special figure 2 variable game is a big hit, the big hit flag is turned on. When the big hit flag is on, in the special figure 2 state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period ends (the special figure 2 stop time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), the setting of the RAM 308 is set. In order to set a special figure 2 in operation in the area and wait for a predetermined winning effect period (for example, 3 seconds), that is, a period during which an image for notifying the player that a big hit by the decorative symbol display device 208 is started is displayed. In addition, information indicating the winning effect period is set in the storage area of the special figure 2 standby time management timer provided in the RAM 308. Further, predetermined transmission information indicating that the winning effect setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  Further, in the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined winning effect period ends (the timing when the value of the special figure 2 standby time management timer changes from 1 to 0), a predetermined release period (for example, 29 seconds) Or, until a winning of a predetermined number of game balls (for example, 10 balls) is detected in the variable winning holes 234, 235) solenoids for opening / closing the door members of the variable winning holes 234, 235 (part of various solenoids 332) In addition, a signal for holding the door member in the opened state is output, and information indicating the opening period is set in the storage area of the door opening time management timer provided in the RAM 308. In addition, predetermined transmission information indicating that the special winning opening release setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  In the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined opening period ends (the timing when the door opening time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), the predetermined closing period (for example, 1.5 seconds) A signal for holding the door member in a closed state is output to a solenoid for opening / closing the door member of the variable prize opening 234, 235 (a part of various solenoids 332), and a door closing time management timer provided in the RAM 308 is used. Information indicating the closing period is set in the storage area. In addition, predetermined transmission information indicating that the special winning opening closing setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  In addition, the door member opening / closing control is repeated a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 15 rounds or 7 rounds in the case of Special Figure 2, 15 rounds, 7 rounds or 2 rounds in the case of Special Figure 1), and the control is finished. In the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing, a predetermined end effect period (for example, 3 seconds), that is, a period in which an image for notifying the player that the jackpot by the decorative symbol display device 208 is ended is displayed. Therefore, information indicating the effect standby period is set in the storage area of the effect standby time management timer provided in the RAM 308. Also, if the normal probability fluctuation flag is set to ON, at the same time as the end of the big hit game, the hour / hour number (for example, 100 times) is set in the hour / hour number storage unit provided in the RAM 308 and provided in the RAM 308. Turn on the short time flag. If the ordinary probability fluctuation flag is set to OFF, the number of time reductions is not set in the time reduction number storage unit, and the time reduction flag is not turned on.

  The short time here means that the pachinko machine is in an advantageous state for the player in order to shorten the time from the end of the big hit in the special figure variable game to the start of the next big hit. When the time reduction flag is set to ON, the normal figure high probability state (normal figure certain change) is established. There is a higher probability of hitting in the general-game variable game in the high-probability state than in the normal-game low-probability state. In addition, in the normal figure high probability state, the fluctuation time of the general figure variable game is shorter than in the normal figure low probability state (normal figure variable short). Furthermore, in the normal high probability state, compared to the normal low probability state, the opening time in one opening of the pair of blade members 232a of the special drawing 2 starting port 232 is likely to be longer (electrical chew extension). In addition, the pair of blade members 232a are more likely to open in the normal high probability state than in the normal low probability state. The state in which any one of these ordinary figure change, universal figure change, and electric Chu extension is set is referred to as an electric support (starting prize winning support by electric tulip) state.

  In addition, as described above, the hourly flag is set to off during the big hit game (in the special game state). Therefore, the normal low probability state is maintained during the big hit game. This is because, if the game is in a high probability state during a big hit game, a predetermined number of variable winning holes 234 and 235 will be placed in the special figure 2 start opening 232 during the big hit game until a game ball enters. There is a problem that game balls enter and the number of game balls that can be acquired during a big hit increases, resulting in an increase in euphoria. This is to solve this problem.

  If the special figure probability variation flag is set to ON, the probability variation number (for example, 10,000 times) is set in the probability variation number storage unit provided in the RAM 308 simultaneously with the end of the big hit game.

  Further, predetermined transmission information indicating that the end effect setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  Also, in the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined end production period ends (when the production standby time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), the special figure 2 is not activated in the setting area of the RAM 308. Set medium.

  Further, if the result of the special figure 2 variable game is out of order, the out-of-game flag is turned on. In the case where the miss flag is on, even in the special figure 2 state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period described above ends (the timing when the special figure 2 stop time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), In the setting area of the RAM 308, special figure 2 inactive is set. In the special figure 2 state update process when the special figure 2 is not in operation, nothing is done and the process proceeds to the next step S227.

  Subsequently, special figure state update processing (special figure 1 state update process) for special figure 1 is performed (step S227). In the special figure 1 state update process, each process described in the special figure 2 state update process is performed according to the state of the special figure 1. Each process performed in the special figure 1 state update process is the same as the process in which “special figure 2” in the contents described in the special figure 2 state update process is replaced with “special figure 1”. Omitted. However, in this example, since the stop symbol form of special figure 1 is different from the stop symbol aspect of special figure 2, the timing at which the special figure 1 variable display time has elapsed (the value of the special figure 1 display symbol update timer becomes 1 to 0) The special figure 1 state update process starting at the same time) is different from the special figure 2 state update process. In the special figure 1 state update process started at the above timing, for example, when the 15R big hit flag is on and the special figure probability variation flag is on, the special figure A shown in FIG. When the figure probability fluctuation flag is on, the special figure B, the 7R big hit flag is on, when the special figure probability fluctuation flag is off, the special figure C, the 2R big hit flag is on, the special figure probability fluctuation flag is on, When the figure probability fluctuation flag is on, the special figure D, 2R big hit flag is on, the special figure probability fluctuation flag is on, and when the common figure probability fluctuation flag is off, the special figure E, the small hit flag is on The special segment F is controlled to turn on / off the 7-segment LED constituting the special diagram 1 display device 212 so that the special flag F is turned on and the special flag G is turned on. Special figure 1 stop table To set indicating that it is in. By performing this control in the special figure 1 state update process started at the above timing, the special figure 1 display device 212 performs a fixed display of any one of the special figures A to G. The order of the special figure 2 state update process and the special figure 1 state update process may be reversed.

  When the special figure state update process in step S225 and step S227 is completed, a special figure related lottery process for each of special figure 1 and special figure 2 is performed. Also here, first, a special drawing related lottery process for special figure 2 (a special drawing 2 related lottery process) is performed (step S229), and then a special drawing related lottery process for special figure 1 (a special drawing 1 related lottery process). ) Is performed (step S231). In the special drawing 2 related lottery process, the floating game of the special drawing 1 and the special drawing 2 is not performed, and the state of the special drawing 1 and the special drawing 2 are both inactive and is held. The game is executed using the first special figure 2 winning random number value and the special figure 2 random number value in the special figure 2 random value storage area, starting from the fact that the number of variable games is 1 or more. The special figure 1 related lottery process does not perform the floating game of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, the state of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 are both inactive, and is suspended. The game is executed using the first special figure 1 winning random number value and the special figure 1 random number value in the special figure 1 random value storage area as a starting condition that the number of variable games is 1 or more.

  Also for these special drawing related lottery processes, the main control unit 300 performs the special figure 2 related lottery processing before the special figure 1 related lottery processing, so that the special figure 2 variable game start condition and the special figure 1 fluctuation Even if the game start conditions are satisfied at the same time, since the special figure 2 variable game is changing first, the special figure 1 variable game does not start changing. In addition, when the number of reserved special figure 2 variable games is 1 or more, the lottery process and the variable game related to the special figure 1 variable game hold are not performed. In addition, the notification of the result of the special symbol variable game success / failure determination by the decorative symbol display device 208 is performed by the first sub-control unit 400, and the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning at the special symbol 2 starting port 232 is notified. Priority is given to the notification of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning in the special figure 1 starting port 230. In the present embodiment, a special figure variable game with a high advantage (in this example, special figure 2 variable game) is given priority over a low special figure variable game (in this example, special figure 1 variable game). . For this reason, it may be easy to give a difference in the advantage of the gaming state.

  In the case of the special figure 2 related lottery process in step S229, the main control unit 300 starts the special figure 2 start information (special) from the earliest (most previously stored) holding position in the special figure 2 random value storage area. 2), and based on the special figure 2 winning random number value in the obtained special figure 2 start information, the value of the special figure probability variation flag in the RAM 308, and the like. Is used as a big hit or a small hit (in this example, the small hit can be selected only in FIG. 1) using the determination table (see FIGS. 10 (a) to 10 (d) described later). Or whether it is determined to be out of place (judgment determination). Next, the main control unit 300, based on the special figure 2 random value in the acquired special figure 2 start information and the determined success / failure determination result, etc., the special figure determination table (FIG. 11 (a), Using the symbol distribution table shown in FIG. 12A, the symbol (stop symbol) to be stopped and displayed after the variation display of the special diagram 2 is determined. Next, the main control unit 300 is stored in the ROM 306 based on, for example, the determined success / failure determination result, the stop symbol, the special figure 2 holding number at the time of the determination, the acquired special figure variation time determination random number value, and the like. The variable display time (timer number) in FIG. 2 is determined using various tables (for example, a timer number selection table not shown).

  The main control unit 300 extracts the first special figure 2 start information from the special figure 2 random value storage area, erases the first special figure 2 start information from the special figure 2 random value storage area, 2 is subtracted from the special figure 2 hold number in the hold number storage area. At this time, the special figure 2 start information extracted from the special figure 2 random value storage area is stored in the temporary area provided in the RAM 308, and the above-described determination is performed based on the special figure 2 start information stored in the temporary area. You may do it.

  After the special figure 2 related lottery process (step S229) as described above, the special figure 1 related lottery process (step S231) is performed in the same manner.

  In the above description, the special figure 2 variable game having a high advantage is started in preference to the special figure 1 variable game having a low advantage, and the special figure 2 hold is prioritized over the special figure 1 hold. Special figure 2 priority fluctuation is given as an example, but special figure 1 variable game with low advantage is started over special figure 2 variable game with high advantage, and special figure 1 suspension is The special figure 1 priority fluctuation | variation digested preferentially over hold may be sufficient. In addition, priority is not given to special figure 2 variable game and special figure 1 variable game, and the start opening prize is started in the order in which the special figure variable games related to the holding of each of special figure 1 and special figure 2 are held at the start opening. It may be a forward variation. In the starting order winning order variation, the upper limit number of holds is 8 regardless of the special figures 1 and 2, and compared with the priority fluctuation in which the upper limit number of holds is 4 in each of the special figures 1 and 2 In some cases, the substantial upper limit of the number of holds can be increased.

  In the above description, it is assumed that the lottery process and the variable game relating to the holding of the other special figure are not performed according to the state of the special figure, but the invention is not limited to this, and the special figure state update described above is not performed. The process and the special figure related lottery process may be performed independently in the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, respectively, so that a plurality of special figures may be changed simultaneously. In addition, when a plurality of special figures are changed at the same time, a plurality of areas for displaying the lottery results of each special figure are provided on the decorative symbol display device 208 or the lottery results of each special figure are displayed. A plurality of decorative symbol display devices may be provided, and the lottery results may be displayed separately, or the lottery results of a plurality of special drawings may be displayed in one area. In addition, when fluctuations related to a plurality of special figures are performed simultaneously, the lottery result of the special figure that stopped the fluctuation may affect the lottery result of the special figure that stops the fluctuation later.

  In step S233 following step S231, command setting transmission processing is performed. In this command setting transmission process, various commands are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. The output schedule information to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 is composed of 16 bits, for example, bit 15 is strobe information (indicating that data is set when ON), bits 11 to 14 are Command type (in this embodiment, basic command, symbol variation start command, symbol variation stop command, winning effect start command, end effect start command, jackpot round number designation command, power recovery command, RAM clear command, prefetch result information command Information that can specify the type of command, etc.), bits 0 to 10 are constituted by command data (predetermined information corresponding to the command type).

  Specifically, the strobe information is turned on or off by the command transmission process described above. In addition, if the command type is a symbol variation start (rotation start) command, the command data is selected with various big hit flags, small hit flags, outlier flags, special figure probability fluctuation flags, etc., and special figure related lottery processing. In the case of a symbol variation stop (rotation stop) command, including information indicating a timer number, etc., including various big hit flags, small hit flags, outlier flags, special figure probability variation flag values, etc. In the case of an end effect start command, the value of the special figure probability variation flag is included, and in the case of the big hit round number designation command, information indicating the value of the special figure probability variation flag, the number of big hit rounds, etc. is included. . When the command type indicates a basic command, device information in the command data, presence / absence of winning in the special figure 1 starting port 230, presence / absence of winning in the special figure 2 starting port 232, winning in the variable winning ports 234 and 235 Contains information indicating presence or absence. In the case of a prefetch result information command, information indicating the types of special figure 1 and special figure 2, the prefetch number stored in the prefetch number storage area described later, the stop symbol stored in the prefetch result storage unit, etc. Included.

  In the rotation start setting transmission process described above, the command data includes values such as various big hit flags, small hit flags, off-set flags, and special figure probability variation flags stored in the RAM 308, special figure 1 related lottery processes, and special figures. Information indicating the timer number selected in the FIG. 2 related lottery process, the number of the special figure 1 variable game or the special figure 2 variable game being held, etc. is set. In the rotation stop setting transmission process described above, information indicating values of various big hit flags, small hit flags, loss flags, special figure probability variation flags, etc. stored in the RAM 308 is set in the command data.

  In the winning effect setting transmission process described above, the command control data stored in the RAM 308, the effect control information output to the decorative symbol display device 208, various lamps 418, and the speaker 120 during the winning effect period, the special figure probability variation flag Information indicating the value, the number of the special figure 1 variable game or the special figure 2 variable game being held, etc. is set. In the above-described end effect setting transmission process, the command control data stored in the RAM 308, the effect control information output to the decorative symbol display device 208, various lamps 418, and the speaker 120 during the effect standby period, the special figure probability variation flag Information indicating the value, the number of the special figure 1 variable game or the special figure 2 variable game being held, etc. is set. In the above-described special winning opening release setting transmission process, the command data includes the number of big hits stored in the RAM 308, the value of the special figure probability variation flag, the number of the special figure 1 variable game or the special figure 2 variable game held. Set the information that indicates. In the above-mentioned special winning opening closing setting transmission process, the command data includes the number of big hit rounds stored in the RAM 308, the value of the special figure probability variation flag, the number of the special figure 1 variable game or the special figure 2 variable game held. Set the information that indicates.

  In step S233, general command special figure hold increase processing is also performed. In this general command special figure pending increase process, special figure identification information (information showing special figure 1 or special figure 2) stored in the transmission information storage area of the RAM 308, command notice information (preliminary notice information, false) Set either advance notice information or no advance notice information).

  In the first sub-control unit 400, it is possible to determine the production control according to the change of the game control in the main control unit 300 by the command type included in the received output schedule information, and it is included in the output schedule information. Based on the information of the command data, the contents of effect control can be determined.

  In step S235 following step S233, external output signal setting processing is performed. In this external output signal setting process, the game information stored in the RAM 308 is output to the information input circuit 350 separate from the pachinko machine 100 via the information output circuit 336.

  In step S237 following step S235, device monitoring processing is performed. In this device monitoring process, the signal states of the various sensors stored in the signal state storage area in step S205 are read, and the presence or absence of a predetermined error, for example, the presence or absence of a front frame door opening error or the presence or absence of a bottom pan full error is monitored. . When a front frame door opening error or a lower pan full error is detected, device information indicating whether there is a front frame door open error or a lower pan full error is included in the transmission information to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. Set. Further, various solenoids 332 are driven to control the opening / closing of the special figure 2 starting port 232 and the variable prize opening 234, and the general diagram display device 210 and the special diagram 1 display device 212 via the drive circuits 324, 326, 330. The display data to be output to the special figure 2 display device 214, various status display units 328, and the like is set in the output port of the I / O 310. Further, the output schedule information set in the payout request number transmission process (step S219) is output to the payout control unit 600 via the output port of the I / O 310.

  In step S239 following step S237, it is monitored whether or not the low voltage signal is ON. Then, when the low voltage signal is on (when power supply cutoff is detected), the process proceeds to step S243, and when the low voltage signal is off (when power supply cutoff is not detected), the process proceeds to step S241. In step S241, timer interrupt end processing is performed. In this timer interrupt end process, the value of each register temporarily saved in step S201 is set in each original register, interrupt permission is set, etc., and then the main control unit main process shown in FIG. Return to. On the other hand, in step S243, a specific variable or stack pointer for returning to the power-off state at the time of power recovery is saved in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 as return data, and power-off processing such as initialization of input / output ports is performed. After that, the process returns to the main process of the main control unit shown in FIG.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the special figure prefetching process executed in the winning acceptance process (step S217). In the special figure prefetching process, the main control unit 300 prefetches the increased start information (newly acquired start information) in each of special figure 1 and special figure 2, and pre-stops the stop symbol before the success / failure determination process. The pre-determination result (special drawing prefetching result) is stored in the prefetching result storage unit in the RAM 308 (see FIGS. 9A to 9C).

  Here, in the RAM 308, the special figure 1 prefetch result storage unit for storing the special figure 1 prefetch result and the number of special figure 1 prefetch results stored in the special figure 1 prefetch result storage unit are specially displayed. A special figure 1 pre-reading number storage area for storing as one pre-reading number is provided. The prefetch result storage unit for special figure 1 can store up to four prefetch results in this example. In the special figure 1 prefetching result storage unit, every time the number of special figure 1 prefetching decreases by one, the data of the special figure 1 prefetching result with the highest rank (first) is erased and the remaining special figure 1 prefetching result Are processed so that the rank of the data is incremented by one. Each time the special figure 1 prefetch number increases by one, new special figure 1 prefetch result data is written in the next rank of the special figure 1 prefetch result data of the lowest rank (last).

  Also, in the RAM 308, the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit for storing the special figure 2 prefetch result and the number of special figure 2 prefetch results stored in the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit are stored in the special figure 2 prefetch. A special figure 2 pre-reading number storage area for storing numbers is provided. The prefetch result storage unit for special figure 2 can store up to four prefetch results in this example. In the special figure 2 prefetching result storage unit, every time the number of special figure 2 prefetching decreases by one, the data of the special figure 2 prefetching result having the highest rank is deleted and the order of the remaining special figure 2 prefetching result data Are processed so that they are incremented by one. Each time the special figure 2 prefetch number increases by one, new special figure 2 prefetch result data is written in the next rank of the special figure 2 prefetch data having the lowest rank.

  In the special figure prefetching process, first, the main control unit 300 determines whether or not the start information of the special figure 2 has increased (step S301). The determination as to whether or not the start information of the special figure 2 has increased is made, for example, by referring to the special figure 2 hold number stored in the special figure 2 hold number storage area and the special figure 2 prefetch number storage area. The comparison is made with the number of pre-reads in FIG. The main control unit 300 determines that the start information of the special figure 2 has increased when the special figure 2 hold number is larger than the special figure 2 prefetch number, and the special figure 2 hold number is equal to the special figure 2 prefetch number. It is determined that the starting information in Fig. 2 has not increased. When it is determined that the start information of FIG. 2 has increased, the process proceeds to step S303, and when it is determined that the start information of FIG. 2 has not increased, the process proceeds to step S307.

  In step S303, the increased special figure 2 starting information (a special figure 2 winning random value and a set of special figure 2 random values) is processed before the success / failure determination process in the special figure 2 related lottery process (step S229). FIG. 2 Read ahead from the random value storage area. Then, using the pre-read special figure 2 start information and the determination table for special determination 2 and the special figure determination table used at the time of determination, for example, the special figure 2 variable game stop symbol related to the start information is selected. Prior determination is made before the success / failure determination process in the process (step S229). Note that this pre-determination process may be performed using a special table for pre-determination instead of the table used at the time of determination.

  In step S 305 subsequent to step S 303, the stop symbol information as the special figure 2 prefetch result obtained in the pre-determination is stored in the earliest free area of the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit in the RAM 308. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S307.

  In step S307, the main control unit 300 determines whether or not the start information of FIG. 1 has increased. The determination as to whether or not the start information of FIG. 1 has increased is made, for example, in the same way as in FIG. 2, the special figure 1 hold number stored in the special figure 1 hold number storage area and the special figure 1 prefetch number storage area This is done by comparing the special figure 1 pre-reading number stored in. If it is determined that the start information of FIG. 1 has increased, the process proceeds to step S309. If it is determined that the start information of FIG. Return to the winning acceptance process (step S217).

  In step S309, it is determined based on various flags in the RAM 308 whether or not non-electric support is in progress. If it is determined that the non-electric support is being performed, the process proceeds to step S311. If it is determined that the non-electric support is not being performed (the electric support is being performed), the process proceeds to step S315. In this example, it is determined whether or not non-electric support is being performed, but it may be determined in step S309 whether or not the execution condition of the special figure 1 prefetch notice is satisfied. For example, the execution conditions of the special figure 1 pre-reading notice include conditions such as not being in a big hit game other than being in non-electric support.

  In step S311, the increased special figure 1 start information (a special figure 1 winning random value and a pair of special figure 1 random value) is processed before the success determination process in the special figure 1 lottery process (step S231). FIG. 1 Read ahead from the random value storage area. Then, using the pre-read special figure 1 start information and the determination table for special determination and the special figure determination table used at the time of determination, for example, the special figure 1 variable game stop symbol related to the start information is selected as the special figure 1 related lottery. Prior determination is made before the success / failure determination process in the process (step S231). Note that this pre-determination process may be performed using a special table for pre-determination instead of the table used at the time of determination.

  In step S313 following step S311, the stop symbol information as the special figure 1 prefetching result obtained in the prior determination is stored in the earliest free area of the special figure 1 prefetching result storage unit in the RAM 308. Thereafter, the special figure prefetching process is terminated, and the process returns to the winning acceptance process (step S217) of the main control unit timer interruption process.

  In step S315, the pre-read result for pre-Fig. 1 is stored in the RAM 308 in place of the stop symbol information, instead of pre-reading the start-up information without pre-reading the increased special Fig. 1 start information. Stored in the earliest free area of the copy. Thereafter, the special figure prefetching process is terminated, and the process returns to the winning acceptance process (step S217) of the main control unit timer interruption process.

  In the present embodiment, only the increased start information is pre-read and pre-determined. However, all start information may be pre-read and pre-determined. Further, in the above-described command setting transmission process (step S233), only the pre-read result of the starting information for the increase may be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400, or the pre-read result storage for special figure 1 and special figure 2 All the prefetching results in the section may be transmitted to the first sub-control section 400.

  In the present embodiment, pre-reading is always executed for the increased starting information of Special Figure 2, and pre-reading is always executed for the increased starting information of Special Figure 1 except during the electric support. Further, it may be determined by lottery whether to pre-read the starting information of the increased special figure 1 and special figure 2. Alternatively, in the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the prefetch result from the main control unit 300, for example, it may be determined by lottery whether to perform prefetch notification for each hold. Regardless of the gaming state (for example, whether or not non-electric support is in progress), when the start information increases, prefetching is always executed and the prefetching result is stored in the prefetching result storage unit. The result may be configured to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400, and the first sub-control unit 400 may determine whether or not to execute the lottery and effect using the pre-read result.

  FIG. 9 illustrates a state in which prefetch result information and the like are stored in the prefetch result storage unit in the RAM 308. FIG. 9A shows an example of a state in which the special figure 1 prefetch result information is stored in the special figure 1 prefetch result storage unit. As shown in FIG. 9 (a), the special figure 1 prefetch result storage unit has, for example, the same number (four in this embodiment) of storage areas as the special figure 1 variable game holdable number. . Each storage area is associated with the hold order (hold 1 to hold 4) of the special figure 1 random value storage area. In each of the storage areas, the stop symbol information of Special Figure 1 is stored. In the example shown in FIG. 9A, the storage area “hold 1” stores “special chart G” (out of line) as stop symbol information, and the storage area “hold 2” stores “special chart G” as stop symbol information. "(Out of line)" is stored, "Special Figure F" (small hit) is stored as stop symbol information in the storage area "Hold 3", and "Special Figure A" is stored as stop symbol information in the storage area "Hold 4". (15R special jackpot) is stored.

  FIG. 9B shows an example of a state in which the special figure 2 prefetch result information is stored in the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit. As shown in FIG. 9B, the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit has, for example, the same number (4 in the present embodiment) of storage areas as the number of special figure variable games that can be held. . Each storage area is associated with the hold order (hold 1 to hold 4) of the special figure 2 random value storage area. In each of the storage areas, the stop symbol information of the special figure 2 is stored. In the example shown in FIG. 9B, the storage area “hold 1” stores “special drawing d” (out of line) as stop symbol information, and the storage areas “hold 2” to “hold 4” have stop symbols. Information is not stored. In FIG. 9B, a state where the stop symbol information is not stored in the storage area is described as “none”.

  FIG. 9 (c) shows an example of the prefetch result storage unit for special figure 1 during the electric support. As shown in FIG. 9C, “undecided” information is stored in the storage area “hold 1” instead of the stopped symbol information. In the storage areas “hold 2” to “hold 4”, neither stop symbol information nor “undecided” information is stored.

  In the above description, an example is given in which only stop symbols are pre-determined and only stop symbol information is stored in the prefetch result storage unit. However, it is possible to pre-determine the determination result, the variable timer number (variation time), etc. Information may be stored in the prefetch result storage unit and transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 as prefetch result information.

  Next, various tables used in the main control unit 300 of the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described. Various tables shown in FIGS. 10 to 12 are stored in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300, for example. FIGS. 10A to 10D show an example of the determination table used when determining whether or not the lottery process is related to the special figure 2 lottery process (step S229) or the special figure 1 lottery process (step S231). Yes. The success / failure determination table shown in FIGS. 10A to 10D includes items of “special figure probability”, “random number range”, and “correction determination result”. The item “special figure probability” indicates a special figure probability (special figure low probability or special figure high probability) at the time of determination of success or failure. The item “random number range” indicates a numerical range to be compared with the acquired special figure 2 winning random value or the special figure 1 winning random value. Here, the possible range of the special figure 2 winning random value and the special figure 1 winning random value of this example is 0 to 65535 (the range of the numerical value range is 65536).

  The success / failure determination table shown in FIG. 10 (a) is a success / failure determination table for special figure 1 used when the special figure probability at the time of success / failure determination is low. As shown in FIG. 10A, when this success / failure determination table is used, the big hit probability is about 1/299 (= 219/65536), and the small hit probability is about 1/399 (= 164 / 65536).

  The success / failure determination table shown in FIG. 10 (b) is a success / failure determination table for special figure 1 used when the special figure probability at the time of the validity determination is high. As shown in FIG. 10B, when this success / failure determination table is used, the big hit probability is about 1/30 (= 2185/65536), and the small hit probability is about 1/399. When this success / failure determination table is compared with the success / failure determination table shown in FIG. 10 (a), the big hit probability is about 10 times and the small hit probability is the same.

  The success / failure determination table shown in FIG. 10 (c) is the success / failure determination table for special figure 2 used when the special figure probability at the time of success / failure determination is low. As shown in FIG. 10C, when this success / failure determination table is used, the big hit probability is about 1/299 and the small hit probability is zero.

  The success / failure determination table shown in FIG. 10 (d) is a success / failure determination table for special figure 2 that is used when the special figure probability at the time of success / failure determination is high. As shown in FIG. 10D, when this success / failure determination table is used, the big hit probability is about 1/30 and the small hit probability is zero. When this success / failure determination table is compared with the success / failure determination table shown in FIG. 10 (c), the probability of jackpot is about 10 times.

  Fig.11 (a) has shown the symbol distribution table for the special figure 1. FIG. The numerical value in the “distribution” column in the table is a distribution ratio of random numbers for each symbol (that is, each symbol) compared with the special symbol 1 random value when determining the stop symbol in the special symbol 1 related lottery process (step S231). It is equal to the symbol selection probability). As shown in FIG. 11 (a), when the result of determining whether or not the special figure 1 variable game is successful is the big hit, the special symbol A (15R special big hit) is 30%, and the special figure B (7R special big hit) is 25%, special figure C (7R big hit) is 25%, special figure D (sudden probability big hit) is 10%, special figure E (latent probability big hit) is 10% is there. Special figures A, B, D, and E, excluding special figure C, are symbols in which the probability change is activated (shifts to a special figure high probability state) after the big hit game ends. The ratio of probability variation jackpots (special drawings A, B, D, E) in the jackpot of the special figure 1 variable game, that is, the probability variation probability is 75%.

  Special illustrations A, B, and D are the gaming state (special figure high probability, special figure low probability, normal figure high probability (during short-time operation), normal figure low probability (due to short-time inactive) at the time of determination of success / failure (during symbol stop display) Regardless of the time)), the time is shortened (no time reduction is set) after the big hit game ends. The special figure C is a symbol in which the time is shortened (the number of time reductions is 100 times) after the big hit game is finished, regardless of the game state at the time of the determination of success or failure. The special figure E is a symbol in which the short time is activated after the big hit game is completed only when the gaming state at the time of the determination is a special figure high probability state or a normal figure high probability state. That is, when special figure E is stopped and displayed in the special figure low probability normal figure low probability state, the time reduction does not operate after the big hit game ends. For example, when special figure E is stopped and displayed as a big hit symbol continuously several times from a special figure low probability normal figure low probability state, the time reduction does not operate after the first stop display (special figure high probability normal figure) However, after the second and subsequent stops, the short time is activated (the special figure high probability normal figure high probability state is entered). In the special figure 1 variable game jackpot, the probability of time reduction is 90% in the special figure low probability normal figure low probability state and 100% in the other game states.

  In this example, there is only one kind of small hits symbol and off symbol in the special figure 1 variable game. Therefore, when the result of the special figure 1 variable game is determined to be a small hit, the special figure F is selected with a probability of 100% regardless of the special figure 1 random value, and the result of the special figure 1 variable game is determined. If it is out of place, the special figure G is selected with a probability of 100% regardless of the special figure 1 random value. However, a plurality of types of small hit symbols and outlier symbols may be provided in the same manner as the big hit symbols, and may be determined by lottery using special figure 1 random numbers.

  FIG.11 (b) has shown the example of the operation | movement at the time of the big hit in each symbol of the special figure 1. FIG. As shown in FIG. 11B, in the jackpot game after the special figure A is stopped and displayed, the attacker is released for 15R at 29000 ms per 1R. Similarly, in the jackpot game after special figure B or special figure C is stopped and displayed, the attacker is released for 7R at 29000 ms per 1R, and in the jackpot game after special figure D is stopped and displayed, the attacker is released. Is performed 2R at 29000 ms per 1R.

  As for special figure E, the operation of the big hit game differs depending on the game state at the time of the symbol stop display. In the big hit game after the special figure E is stopped and displayed in the special figure low probability normal figure low probability state, the attacker is released 2R at 100 ms per 1R. In this big hit game, it is difficult to enter a game ball because the opening time is short. On the other hand, in the big hit game after the special figure E is stopped and displayed in a game state other than the special figure low probability normal figure low probability state, 2R is played at 29000 ms per 1R. In this big hit game, it is easy to enter a game ball because the opening time is relatively long.

  In the small hit game after the special figure F is stopped and displayed, the 100 ms attacker release is performed twice in one release opportunity. That is, the attacker operates in the same manner in the big hit game after the special figure E is stopped and displayed in the special figure low probability normal figure low probability state and the small hit game after the special figure F is stopped and displayed.

  Fig.12 (a) has shown the symbol distribution table for the special figure 2. FIG. The numerical value in the “distribution” column in the table is the distribution ratio of the random number range for each symbol (that is, each symbol) that is compared with the special symbol 2 random value when determining the stop symbol in the special symbol 2 related lottery process (step S229). It is equal to the symbol selection probability). As shown in FIG. 12 (a), in the case where the determination result of the special figure 2 variable game is a big hit, the distribution ratio of each big hit symbol is 70% for the special figure a (15R special big hit), and the special figure b (7R special big hit) is 5%, special figure c (7R big hit) is 25%. Special figures a and b are symbols for which the probability change is activated after the big hit game ends. The ratio of probability variation jackpots (special figures a and b) in the special figure 2 variable game jackpot, that is, the probability variation probability is 75%, which is the same as the probability variation probability of the special figure 1 variable game.

  Special illustrations a and b indicate the game state at the time of the success / failure determination (design stop display) (special figure high probability, special figure low probability, normal figure high probability (during short-time operation), normal figure low probability (during short-time inactive) Regardless of the), the time is shortened (no time reduction setting is set) after the big hit game ends. The special figure c is a symbol in which the time is shortened (the number of time reductions is 100 times) after the big hit game is finished, regardless of the game state at the time of determination of success / failure. The probability that the time is given in the big hit of the special figure 2 variable game is 100% regardless of the game state.

  In this example, there is only one type of outlier symbol in the special figure 2 variable game. Therefore, when the result of determining whether or not the special figure 1 variable game is correct is out of order, the special figure d is selected with a probability of 100% regardless of the special figure 1 random value. However, a plurality of types of missing symbols may be provided in the same manner as the jackpot symbol, and may be determined by lottery using special figure 2 random values.

  FIG.12 (b) has shown the example of the operation | movement at the time of the big hit in each symbol of the special figure 2. FIG. As shown in FIG. 12B, in the jackpot game after the special figure a is stopped and displayed, the attacker is released for 15R at 29000 ms per 1R, and after the special figure b or the special figure c is stopped and displayed. In the big hit game, the attacker is released 7R at 29000ms per 1R.

  As shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the special figure 2 has a higher probability of being given a shorter time than the special figure 1 and has a longer open time of the attacker (or a larger R number). Therefore, it can be considered that the special figure 2 is more advantageous than the special figure 1.

  Next, processing of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 13A is a flowchart showing a flow of main processing executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400. First, in step S401 in FIG. 13A, various initial settings are performed. When the power is turned on, an initialization process is first executed in step S401. In this initialization processing, initialization of input / output ports, initialization processing of a storage area in the RAM 408, and the like are performed.

  In step S403 following step S401, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more, and this process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10. When the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S405. . In step S405, 0 is assigned to the timer variable.

  In step S407 following step S405, command processing is performed. The CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400 determines whether a command has been received from the main control unit 300.

  In step S409 following step S407, an effect control process is performed. For example, when there is a new command in step S407, processing such as reading the effect data corresponding to this command from the ROM 406 is performed, and when the effect data needs to be updated, the effect data is updated. Details of the effect control process will be described later.

  In step S411 following step S409, a chance button control process is performed. In the chance button control process, when the pressing of the chance button 136 is detected, the effect data updated in step S409 is changed to the effect data corresponding to the pressing of the chance button 136.

  In step S413 subsequent to step S411, image control processing is performed. In the image control process, when there is a command to the VDP 434 in the effect data read in step S409, this command is output to the VDP 434 (details will be described later).

  In step S415 following step S413, sound control processing is performed. In the sound control process, if there is a command to the sound source IC 416 in the effect data read in step S409, this command is output to the sound source IC 416.

  In step S417 following step S415, lamp control processing is performed. In the lamp control process, if there is a command to various lamps 418 in the effect data read in step S409, this command is output to the drive circuit 420.

  In step S419 following step S417, shutter control processing is performed. In the shutter control process, if there is a command to the shielding device 246 in the effect data read in step S409, this command is output to the drive circuit 432.

  In step S421 following step S419, information transmission processing is performed. In the information transmission process, when there is a control command to be transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500 in the effect data read in step S409, a setting is made to output this control command. Thereafter, the process returns to step S403.

  FIG. 13B is a flowchart showing the flow of the first sub control unit command reception interrupt process (strobe interrupt process) executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400. This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the first sub-control unit 400 detects a strobe signal from the main control unit 300. In step S501 of the command reception interrupt process, the command received from the main control unit 300 is stored in the command storage area provided in the RAM 408 as an unprocessed command.

  FIG. 13C is a flowchart showing the flow of the first sub control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400. The first sub-control unit 400 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (in this example, once every 2 ms). The timer interrupt process is triggered by this timer interrupt. Run in cycles. In step S601 of the first sub control unit timer interrupt process, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S403 of the first sub control unit main process, and the result is stored in the original timer variable storage area. To do. Therefore, in step S403, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

  In step S603 following step S601, a control command is transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500 set in the information transmission process (step S421) of the first sub-control unit main process, and other random number values for effects are updated. Etc.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the flow of the effect control process (step S409) of the first sub-control unit main process. First, in step S701, it is determined whether it is an effect lottery timing. For example, the effect lottery timing includes the start timing of the special figure variable game. When the command transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400 includes a symbol variation start command, the first sub control unit 400 determines that it is the start timing of the special symbol variation game. Then, it is determined that it is the production lottery timing, and the process proceeds to step S703. In addition, when the command transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400 does not include the symbol variation start command, the first sub control unit 400 determines that it is not the start timing of the special symbol variation game. And it determines with it not being an effect lottery timing, and progresses to step S711.

  In step S703, an effect lottery process is executed in which an effect for the special figure variable game to be executed is determined by effect lottery. The first sub-control unit 400 stores the result of the effect lottery in a predetermined storage area provided in the RAM 408. In addition, the first sub-control unit 400 does not execute the effect lottery process, and when the variation time of the special figure variable game to be executed is a specific variation time, the first sub control unit 400 always specifies the special figure variable game. An effect (for example, a video effect) may be executed.

  In step S705 following step S703, it is determined whether or not a video production (details will be described later) has been won in the production lottery. If the first sub-control unit 400 reads out the result of the effect lottery stored in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 408 and determines that the result of the effect lottery is the execution of the video effect, the process proceeds to step S707, and the result of the effect lottery If it is determined that the video production is not executed, the process proceeds to step S709.

  In step S707, the video effect execution flag indicating that the video effect is being executed is turned on. The first sub-control unit 400 sets, for example, “1” as a value of the flag in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408 in order to set the video effect execution flag indicating whether or not the video effect is being executed. Remember. Thereby, the video effect is set during execution.

  In step S709, other effect execution flags indicating that an effect other than the video effect is being executed are turned on. The first sub-control unit 400 sets, for example, “1” as the value of the flag in the RAM 408 in order to set the other effect execution flag indicating whether or not the effect other than the video effect is being executed. Is stored in the storage area. Thereby, effects other than the video effect are set during execution.

  In step S711 following step S707 or step S709, it is determined whether or not an effect end condition is satisfied. For example, the establishment of the production end condition includes the end of the special figure variable game. If the command transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400 includes a symbol variation stop command, the first sub control unit 400 determines that the special symbol variation game is over and ends the production. It is determined that the condition is satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S711. In addition, when the command transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400 does not include the symbol variation stop command, the first sub control unit 400 indicates that the special symbol variation game is ongoing. Determination is made and it is determined that the production end condition is not satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S715.

  In step S713 subsequent to step S711, the effect execution flag corresponding to the effect being executed is turned off to indicate that the effect end condition is satisfied and the effect being executed is ended. When the video effect is being executed, the video effect execution flag indicating that the video effect is being executed is turned off. The first sub-control unit 400 sets, for example, “0” as a value of the flag in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408 in order to set the video effect execution flag indicating whether or not the video effect is being executed to an off state. Remember. Further, when an effect other than the video effect is being executed, other effect execution flags indicating that an effect other than the video effect is being executed are turned off. The first sub-control unit 400 sets, for example, “0” as the value of the flag in the RAM 408 in order to set the other effect execution flag indicating whether or not an effect other than the video effect is being executed. Is stored in the storage area.

  In step S715, other effect control processing is executed. Thereafter, the effect control process is terminated and the process returns to the first sub-control unit main process.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a flow of image control processing (step S413) of the first sub-control unit main processing. In step S801, an instruction to transfer image data is issued. Here, the CPU 404 first swaps the designation of the display areas A and B in the VRAM 436. As a result, an image of one frame stored in the display area not designated as the drawing area is displayed on the decorative design display device 208. Next, the CPU 404 sets ROM coordinates (transfer source address of the ROM 406), VRAM coordinates (transfer destination address of the VRAM 436) and the like in the attribute register of the VDP 434 based on the position information table and the like, and then the image from the ROM 406 to the VRAM 436. Set an instruction to start data transfer. The VDP 434 transfers the image data from the ROM 406 to the VRAM 436 based on the command set in the attribute register. Thereafter, the VDP 434 outputs a transfer end interrupt signal to the CPU 404.

  In step S803 following step S801, it is determined whether or not a transfer end interrupt signal from the VDP 434 has been input. If a transfer end interrupt signal has been input, the process proceeds to step S805. Wait for the input signal to be input.

  In step S805, parameters are set based on the production scenario configuration table and attribute data. Here, in order to form a display image in the display area A or B of the VRAM 436 based on the image data transferred to the VRAM 436 in step S801, the CPU 404 information on the image data constituting the display image (coordinate axes and image sizes of the VRAM 436). , VRAM coordinates (arrangement coordinates, etc.) are instructed to the VDP 434. The VDP 434 performs parameter setting according to the attribute based on the instruction stored in the attribute register.

  In step S807 following step S805, a drawing instruction is performed. In this drawing instruction, the CPU 404 instructs the VDP 434 to start drawing an image. The VDP 434 starts drawing an image in the frame buffer in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 404.

  In step S809 following step S807, it is determined whether or not a generation end interrupt signal from the VDP 434 based on the end of image drawing has been input. If a generation end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S811, and if not, Waits for the generation end interrupt signal to be input.

  In step S811, a scene display counter which is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 408 and counts how many scene images are generated is incremented (+1).

  In step S813 following step S811, it is determined whether a video effect is being executed. For example, the first sub-control unit 400 reads the value of the video effect execution flag stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408, and determines that the video effect flag is on when the value is “1”. Then, it is determined that the video effect is being executed, and the process proceeds to step S815. If the value is “0”, it is determined that the video effect execution flag is in the off state, and the video effect is not being executed. It is determined that there is, and the first sub-control unit image control process is terminated without executing the process of step S815 described later.

  In step S815 following step S813, image parameters are stored. For example, when performing rewind playback (details will be described later) as a video effect, it is necessary to store image parameters (display position and display size). For this reason, the first sub-control unit 400 stores image parameters in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 408. Thereafter, the image control process is terminated and the process returns to the first sub-control unit main process.

  The pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment does not have to execute the image parameter storage process (step S815) in the image control process. For example, a moving image (animation) may be stored (recorded), and the stored moving image may be rewound (reversely played). Further, in the image parameter storage processing, it is not necessary to store all the parameters of the image displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208. For example, when the moving image related to the hold icon is not affected by the change in the reproduction state, the image parameter of the hold icon may not be stored.

  Next, the processing of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 16A is a flowchart of main processing executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub-control unit 500. First, in step S901 in FIG. 16A, various initial settings are performed. When power is turned on, initialization processing is first executed in step S901. In this initialization processing, initial setting of input / output ports, initialization processing of a storage area in the RAM 508, and the like are performed.

  In step S903 following step S901, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more. This process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10, and when the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S905. . In step S905, 0 is assigned to the timer variable.

  In step S907 following step S905, command processing is performed. The CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500 determines whether a command has been received from the first sub control unit 400.

  In step S909 following step S907, an effect control process is performed. For example, when there is a new command in step S907, processing such as reading the effect data corresponding to this command from the ROM 506 is performed, and when the effect data needs to be updated, the effect data is updated.

  In step S911 following step S909, lamp control processing is performed. For example, if there is a command from the first sub-control unit 400 to the game board lamp 532 or the game table frame lamp 542, this command is output to the serial communication control circuit 520.

  In step S913 following step S911, a movable body control process is performed. For example, when there is a command from the first sub-control unit 400 to the effect movable body 224, this command is output to the drive circuit 516. Thereafter, the process returns to step S903.

  FIG. 16B is a flowchart of command reception interrupt processing executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub-control unit 500. This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the second sub control unit 500 detects a strobe signal from the first sub control unit 400. In step S1001 of the command reception interrupt process, the command received from the first sub control unit 400 is stored in the command storage area provided in the RAM 508 as an unprocessed command.

  FIG. 16C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500. The second sub-control unit 500 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (in this example, once every 2 ms). The timer interrupt process is triggered by this timer interrupt. Run in cycles. In step S1101 of the timer interrupt process, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 508 described in step S903 of the second sub-control unit main process, and the original timer variable storage area is stored. Therefore, in step S903, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10). In step S1103 following step S1101, an effect random number update process or the like is performed.

  Next, a video effect performed by the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, the video effect is executed using the decorative symbol display device 208.

  FIG. 17 is a table showing the effect name of the video effect and the content of the effect. In the present embodiment, six types of effects such as rewind playback (reverse playback), pause, slow playback, fast forward playback, skip and frame advance are provided as video effects.

  In the present embodiment, the decorative symbol display device 208 performs an effect using an animation (moving image). Examples of effects using animation include a decorative symbol variation display, a fourth symbol variation display, an animation regarding a hold icon, an animation regarding a variation icon, and an animation representation using a character image. Details of these animations will be described later. An effect using animation is displayed (normal reproduction, forward reproduction) by continuously displaying 30 frames (still images) per second, for example.

  On the other hand, in the video effect, an image is displayed with the playback state changed to rewind playback, pause playback, slow playback, fast forward playback, skip or frame advance with respect to normal playback. In rewind playback, a moving image is displayed that seems to go back in time with respect to normal playback (forward playback). In the pause, the same still image is continuously displayed for a certain time. In slow playback, a moving image is displayed at a higher playback speed than normal playback. In skipping, a predetermined number of frames are skipped for normal playback, and a discontinuous image is displayed. In the frame advance, the playback speed is slower than the slow playback, and the moving image is displayed divided into frames.

  Any method may be used for the video production as long as the contents of the production can be experienced by the player. For example, the image switching speed can be actually increased (the frame frequency is increased) to perform fast-forward playback, or moving image data that makes the image switching speed feel faster is prepared in advance. A moving image may be displayed based on the above.

  Next, a specific example of effects executed in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described.

(Example 1-1)
18-20 has shown the example of the effect display in Example 1-1 of this Embodiment in time series. In FIG. 18 and each figure to be described later, fluctuations in the decorative symbols in the symbol display areas 208a to 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 are represented by white thick arrows. In addition, the extinguishing portions of the special figure 1 display device 212, the special figure 2 display device 214, the special figure 1 holding lamp 218, and the special figure 2 holding lamp 220 are shown in white, and the lighting portions are shown in black. In addition, the state in which all segments are represented in white in the special figure 1 display device 212 or the special figure 2 display device 214 indicates that the fluctuation display of the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is performed.

  A variation icon display area 800 is provided at the lower left portion of the effect display area 208 d of the decorative symbol display device 208. In the fluctuation icon display area 800, an image of a clay pipe with the opening end facing upward is displayed. In the variation icon display area 800 of the present embodiment, a variation icon deletion animation is executed in which the variation icon enters the opening of the clay pipe. Note that the variation icon may be displayed in a display size (for example, a display size larger than the hold icon) different from the hold icon displayed in the hold icon display area 900 described later. This may facilitate identification of the variation icon and the hold icon.

  A horizontally long area on the right side of the variable icon display area 800 is used as the hold icon display area 900. In the hold icon display area 900, one or a plurality of hold icons can be displayed. In the hold icon display area 900, it is possible to notify the number of hold of the special figure variable game according to the number of the hold icons displayed, and notify the success or failure of each hold with a predetermined reliability by the display mode of each hold icon. (Pre-reading notice) is possible. The hold icon display area 900 of this example can display a maximum of four hold icons, and is roughly divided into four areas: a first area, a second area, a third area, and a fourth area from left to right. ing. The first to fourth areas correspond to the first to fourth holding ranks, respectively. That is, a hold icon corresponding to the earliest hold (stored in the past) can be displayed in the first area, and similarly, the second to fourth areas hold the second to fourth hold. Each corresponding hold icon can be displayed. In this example, the positions of the first to fourth areas of the hold icon display area 900 are not clearly shown. For example, by displaying numbers 1 to 4 in each of the first to fourth areas, -You may make it show the position of 4th area | region clearly. Further, in the hold icon display area 900 of this example, only the hold icon of the special figure 1 is displayed, but only the hold icon of the special figure 2 may be displayed, or the hold icon of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 are combined. May be displayed.

  In the hold icon display area 900, various animations are executed as the hold icon moves.

As shown in FIG. 18B, in the special figure 1 display device 212, the fluctuation display of the special figure 1 of the special figure fluctuation pattern (special animation) shown in FIG. 5E is started. The special figure 1 hold lamp 218 displays that the number of hold in the special figure 1 has decreased from 2 to 1 by turning off the second LED from the left. In the special figure 1 holding lamp 218, it is notified almost simultaneously with the start of the special figure 1 variable game that the number of holdings in the special figure 1 has decreased. In the symbol display areas 208a to 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208, decorative symbol variation display is started in which the decorative symbols sequentially move (rotate) in the direction indicated by the downward arrow in the drawing. In addition, in the fourth symbol display area e1 for the special symbol 1, the variation display of the fourth symbol is started. In the special figure 1 hold number display area a1, a number “1” indicating the hold number of the special figure 1 is displayed.

  In addition, when the special figure 1 variable game is started, the hold icon deletion animation in which the hold icon is deleted, the hold icon moving animation in which the hold icon moves, and the change in which the change icon enters the opening of the clay pipe An icon erase animation is executed. In the hold icon deletion animation, the hold icon 901 displayed in the first area of the hold icon display area 900 becomes the fluctuation icon 801. In this example, the hold icon 901 changes to a change icon 801 simultaneously with the start of the special figure change game. In the hold icon movement animation, the hold icon 902 displayed in the second area of the hold icon display area 900 gradually moves to the first area. In the variation icon erasing animation, the variation icon 801 moves toward the opening of the clay pipe in the variation icon display area 800.

  Further, in the special figure 1 floating game, an Oedo athletic meet animation performance performed by characters (for example, Yoshimune, bad servant, unscrupulous merchant Echigoya) appearing on the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is executed. In order to notify that the Oedo athletic meet animation will start from now on, a character string “Oedo athletic meet” is displayed in the center of the effect display area 208d. In addition, a character string “Big win if Yoshimune is first prize” is displayed, suggesting that if Yoshimune wins in animation production, it will be a big hit. When an animation effect is executed, the symbol display areas 208 a to 208 c move to the upper right in the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208 as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 18C shows a state in which the animation production of “Oedo Athletic Meet” is started. In the Oedo athletic meet animation production of the present example, Yoshimune c1, the bad guy c2, and the unscrupulous merchant Echigoya c3 compete. When the character string “Start!” Is displayed in the effect display area 208d, Yoshimune c1, the bad tycoon c2, and the unscrupulous merchant Echigoya start from the start position and start the competition.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 18C, the variable icon deletion animation is continued. In the variation icon erasing animation, the variation icon 801 gradually enters the opening of the clay pipe in the variation icon display area 800, and when the variation icon 801 completely enters the clay pipe, the variation icon 801 is erased.

  FIG. 18D shows a state where the result of the Oedo athletic meet animation production is informed. In the competition of this example, when Yoshimune c1 becomes the first prize, a special figure variation game is won, and when the bad actor c2 or the bad merchant Echigoya c3 becomes the first prize, the special figure variation game is lost. In this example, the bad actor c2 wins in the competition, and the character string “Zanen” is displayed in the effect display area 208d. In the symbol display areas 208a to 208c, the symbol combination “decoration 4-decoration 9-decoration 3” other than the symbol combination for notifying the hit is temporarily stopped, and the fluctuation of the temporarily stopped symbol combination is changed.

  When the competition ends, the animation production ends, and then the special figure 1 variable game ends as shown in FIG. The special figure G (displacement) is stopped and displayed on the special figure 1 display device 212, “x” is stopped and displayed in the fourth symbol display area e1 for special figure 1, and the fluctuations of fluctuation are observed in the symbol display areas 208a to 208c. After completion, the symbol combination “decoration 4-decoration 9-decoration 3” is stopped and displayed.

  After a predetermined time has elapsed since the special figure 1 display device 212 stopped and displayed, the next special figure 1 variable game is started. As shown in FIG. 18 (f), the special figure 1 display device 212 starts the fluctuation display of the special figure 1 of the special figure fluctuation pattern (special animation) shown in FIG. 5 (e). The special figure 1 hold lamp 218 indicates that the number of hold in the special figure 1 has decreased from 1 to 0 by turning off the first LED from the left. In the symbol display areas 208a to 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208, decorative symbol variation display is started in which the decorative symbols sequentially move (rotate) in the direction indicated by the downward arrow in the drawing. In addition, in the fourth symbol display area e1 for the special symbol 1, the variation display of the fourth symbol is started. In addition, in the special figure 1 hold number display area a1, a number “0” indicating the hold number of the special figure 1 is displayed.

  In addition, when the special figure 1 variable game is started, a hold icon deletion animation and a variable icon deletion animation in which the change icon enters the opening of the clay pipe are executed. In the hold icon erasing animation, the hold icon 902 displayed in the first area of the hold icon display area 900 becomes the fluctuation icon 802. In the variation icon deletion animation, the variation icon 802 moves toward the opening of the clay pipe in the variation icon display area 800. On the other hand, when the number of holds in FIG. 1 is 0, the hold icon movement animation is not executed.

  In this example, execution of the video effect is selected in the effect lottery process (step S703) shown in FIG. 14 executed at the start of the special figure 1 variable game. In FIG. 19A, a pause effect in which the playback state changes to a pause is executed as a video effect. When the playback state is changed, a playback state change display 700 including a pause mark and a character string “pause” is displayed on the upper right side of the effect display area 208d. It is notified that it has been changed to stop. In addition, the reproduction state change display 700 may hide a decorative symbol variation display, a predetermined preview image, or the like (for example, the variation preview image or the prefetched preview image).

  Further, in the decorative display of the decorative symbols in this example, the “decoration 1” → “decoration 2” → “decoration 3” →... → “decoration 9” → “decoration 10” in the symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. The display is switched in the order of “decoration 1” →. In this example, one switching of decoration corresponds to one frame of a moving image. The decorative symbol variation display of the special figure 1 variable game is started from “decoration 4—decoration 9—decoration 3” shown in FIG. In this example, since the playback state is changed to pause at the second frame from the start of the decorative symbol variation display, as shown in FIG. 19A, “decoration 6-decoration 1-decoration 5” is stopped and displayed. The

  As shown in FIG. 19 (b), in the video effect of this example, the decorative symbol variation display and the variation icon erasure animation are paused and displayed in the fourth symbol display area e1 for special diagram 1. The symbol is not paused and the variable display is continuously performed. As described above, the animation effects executed in the decorative symbol display device 208 include an effect in which the playback state is changed when the video effect is executed and an effect in which the playback state is not changed. Further, the special figure 1 display device 212 displays the special figure with the fluctuation pattern shown in FIG. 5E even when the video effect is executed.

  FIG. 19C shows a state where the playback state is changed to rewind and the rewind playback of the video effect is being executed. When rewind playback is started, a playback state change display 700 including a mark indicating rewind and a character string “rewind” is displayed, and notification that the playback state has been changed from pause to rewind is notified. Is done.

  When the rewind playback is started, the decorative display in which the decorative symbols move (rotate) from the bottom to the top is executed in the symbol display areas 208a, 208b, and 208c. Further, the change icon 802 moves toward the hold icon display area 900. In this way, when the rewind playback is started, the decorative symbols displayed in the symbol display areas 208a, 208b, and 208c and the variation icon 802 are displayed so that the time goes back. On the other hand, in the fourth symbol display area e1 for the special symbol 1, the variation display of the fourth symbol is executed without changing the reproduction state. Further, the special figure 1 display device 212 displays the special figure with the fluctuation pattern shown in FIG. 5E even when the video effect is executed. When the playback state is changed to rewind playback, an effect image f1 in which a moving image is rewound may be displayed as shown in FIG.

  Further, in the rewind reproduction of this example, the effect executed in the previous special figure 1 variable game is reversely reproduced. The combination of decoration symbols “decoration 4-decoration 9-decoration 3” stopped at the end of the previous special figure 1 variable game may be temporarily stopped and displayed in the symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c.

  FIG. 19D shows a state in which the Oedo athletic meet animation effect executed during the previous special figure 1 variable game is being rewound and reproduced. Also, the animation related to the change icon 802 is rewound, and the change icon 802 is changed to a hold icon 902 and displayed in the hold icon hold display area 900. Further, at the time shown in FIG. 19 (d), two game balls are won in the special figure 1 starting port 230, and two special figure 1 variable games are newly held. Therefore, the special figure 1 holding lamp 218 displays that the number of holdings in the special figure 1 has increased from 0 to 2 by turning on the first and second LEDs from the left. In the special figure 1 hold number display area a1, the number “2” indicating the hold number of the special figure 1 is displayed. On the other hand, the display in the hold icon display area 900 is not affected by the hold of the special figure during the video effect execution, and the hold icon corresponding to the increased hold may not be displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 19 (e), the rewind playback was continued, and as shown in FIG. 19 (f), the first prize was awarded for the Oedo Athletic Association animation production in the previous special figure 1 variable game. When the villain c2 is rewound to the state before cutting the goal tape, the reproduction state is changed to pause. When the reproduction state is paused, “decoration 7” is displayed in the symbol display areas 208a and 208c, and the reach effect is started. In the middle symbol display area 208b, for example, the upper half of “decoration 4” and the lower half of “decoration 3” are displayed.

  FIG. 20A shows a state where the playback state has been changed to normal playback. A reproduction state change display 700 including a mark indicating reproduction and a character string “reproduction” is displayed to notify that the reproduction state has been changed from rewind reproduction to normal reproduction. Also, from the state shown in FIG. 19 (f), the competition between the characters c1 to c3 and the variable display of the decorative symbols in the middle symbol display area 208b are resumed. In this example, as shown in FIG. 20A, Yoshimune c1 wins in the competition. When Yoshimune becomes the first prize in the Oedo Sports Festival animation production, it will be a big win in the special figure fluctuation game, so as shown in FIG. 20 (b), "Special figure A" is stopped and displayed on the special figure display device 212. In the fourth symbol display area e1 for special figure 1, “◯” indicating a big hit is stopped and displayed, and “decoration 7-decoration 7-decoration 7” is stopped and displayed in the symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. It is notified that the special jackpot of special figure A was won in the variable game of FIG.

When the jackpot game is started, a character string “jackpot” and “decoration 7” are displayed in the effect display area 208d to notify that the special jackpot is won and the jackpot game is started. When the big hit game is started, the variable icon display area 800, the hold icon display area 900, and the hold icons 902 (all the hold icons) may be hidden.

  FIG. 20D shows a state in which the jackpot game has ended. In the symbol display areas 208a, 208b and 208c, “decoration 7-decoration 7-decoration 7” which is the previous stop symbol is displayed. Further, the display of the hold icon display area 900 is resumed, and a hold icon 903 and a hold icon 904 indicating the hold increased during execution of the video effect are displayed in order to notify the current number of hold in FIG.

  The pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment prepares in advance video data that seems to rewind the animation effect that was being executed before the start of the video effect when performing the rewind playback of the video effect. The video data may be played back and rewind playback may be executed. Further, in the case of executing rewind playback of a video effect, the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment records (records) an animation effect that has been executed before the start of the video effect, and records data (recorded data). May be actually rewound and played back.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is known a game machine that performs a change of a reproduction state of decorative symbol display or animation display (rewinding reproduction, pause, slow reproduction, frame advance, fast forward reproduction, skip, etc.). On the other hand, the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is an animation that does not change the playback state even if the playback state of a part of the animation (for example, the decorative pattern change display or the Oedo athletic meet animation) is changed. (Display) is performed.

  The pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment can prevent misidentification of the player by not changing the playback state of the animation of the fourth pattern indicating whether or not the profit can be given to the player and the magnitude of the profit.

(Example 1-2)
21 to 23 show examples of effect display in Example 1-2 of this embodiment in time series. FIG. 21A shows a state during the fluctuation period of the special figure 1 variable game. The special figure 1 display device 212 displays the special figure 1 fluctuation display, and the special figure 2 display apparatus 214 displays "Special figure d" which is a stop symbol of the latest special figure 2 variable game. The special figure 1 hold lamp 218 lights up the first LED from the left to indicate that the number of the special figure 1 hold is 1, and the special figure 2 hold lamp 220 turns off all the LEDs. It is displayed that the number of holds in the special figure 2 is 0.

  In the symbol display areas 208a to 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208, the decorative symbols are displayed in a variable manner. A hold icon 901 is displayed in the first area of the hold icon display area 900. In the special figure 1 hold number display area a1, the number “1”, which is the hold number of the special figure 1, is displayed. In the fourth symbol display area e1 for the special symbol 1, the variation of the fourth symbol is displayed.

  FIG. 21B shows a state where a character selection effect has occurred. In the effect display area 208d, a character string “Choose a character who plays an active part in the character sense reach” is displayed to notify that a character selection effect has occurred. In the character selection effect, a character (for example, Yoshimune, Hime, Rin) appearing on the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is selected. A reach effect is executed using the selected character.

  FIG. 21C shows a state in which the character selection effect is started. In the character selection effect of this example, any of the characters Yoshimune c4, princess c5, and niece c6 can be selected. In the initial state of the character selection effect in this example, the princess c5 is selected, and the princess c5 is displayed in the forefront.

  In the character selection effect, the player can select a character by operating the setting operation unit 137. Therefore, an operation request image 710 schematically showing the setting operation unit 137 is displayed in the effect display area 208d. The operation request image 710 is displayed as an animation in which an arrow image displayed on the right button and an arrow image displayed on the left button flash alternately.

  FIG. 21D shows a state immediately after the player presses the right button of the setting operation unit 137 once. Yoshimune c4, princess c5, and cocoon c6 rotate clockwise, and Yoshimune is in the middle of moving forward.

  FIG. 21E shows a state where Yoshimune c4 is selected. In this state, when the player presses the confirm button on the setting operation unit 137, as shown in FIG. 21 (f), an animation in which Yoshimune c4 holds a rice bran on both shoulders is displayed, and Yoshimune c4 is selected. Is notified.

  FIG. 22A shows a state where reach production using Yoshimune c4 is started. In the right and left symbol display areas 208a and 208c, “decoration 7” is displayed, and the variation display of the ornament symbol is reached. In this example, the animation production of the swordsman confrontation where Yoshimune c4 and swordsman c7 confront each other is executed.

  FIG. 22B shows a state in which Yoshimune c4 has been defeated by swordsman c7 in the reach production of the swordsman confrontation. In the symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, “decoration 7-decoration 8-decoration 7” is temporarily stopped (fluctuated).

  FIG. 22C shows a state in which the playback state is changed to pause and the video effect is started. In this example, even if the game is temporarily stopped, if it is in the special figure 1 variable game, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped (fluctuated) without being displayed in a stopped state.

  In addition, one game ball is won at the starting port 230 in FIG. 1, and one special game 1 variable game is newly held. Therefore, the special figure 1 holding lamp 218 displays that the number of holdings in the special figure 1 has increased from 1 to 2 by turning on the second LED from the left. In the hold icon display area 900, an increase animation of the hold icon is executed. In this example, an animation in which the hold icon 902 gradually rises from below the display area of the decorative symbol display device 208 is displayed.

  FIG. 22D shows a state in which an increase animation of the hold icon is being executed. The hold icon 902 continues to move toward the second area of the hold icon display area 900. In this example, the increase animation of the hold icon is not paused even when paused.

  FIG. 22 (e) shows a state where the playback state is changed to rewind playback. In this example, an animation in which the character selection effect goes back in time is displayed. Further, during the rewind playback, the operation request image 710 is displayed, but since it is not the operation valid period of the operation setting unit 137, the operation result is not reflected even if the player operates the setting operation unit 137.

  FIG. 22 (f) shows a state in which rewind playback is being executed. In the rewind playback of this example, the character selection effect itself executed last time is not rewound, and an animation that seems to go back in time is displayed. This is because the setting operation unit 137 of the player in the character effect executed last time is stored, and the rewinding reproduction is not performed based on the storage, but the rewinding is performed based on predetermined information. This is because such a display is performed. In this way, in the rewind playback, it is only necessary that the player feels as if the effect executed last time is rewound, instead of rewinding the effect actually executed.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 22 (f), the decorative symbol variation display is rewound and reproduced so that the decorative symbol moves (rotates) from the bottom to the top. Further, the operation request image 710 is not rewinded and displayed in the same manner as when the character selection effect is executed.

  FIG. 23A shows a state where the playback state has been changed to normal playback. In this example, the princess c5 is automatically selected in the video effect regardless of the player's operation. For this reason, the princess c5 is displayed on the forefront.

  FIG. 23B shows a state where the selection of the princess c5 is confirmed. Princess c5 has a sense, winks, and notifies that selection has been confirmed. The selection of the princess c5 in this example is determined in advance without depending on the player's operation.

  FIG. 23C shows a state in which the reach effect using the princess c5 is started. In the right and left symbol display areas 208a and 208c, “decoration 7” is displayed, and the variation display of the ornament symbol is reached. In this example, the princess dance reach using the princess c5 is executed.

  In the present embodiment, in the animation in which the playback state is changed, the animation based on the operation of the setting operation unit 137 of the player when the animation before the playback state is reflected or appears to be reflected. Is not reflected in the animation after changing the playback state. For this reason, an animation based on the operation of the player's setting operation unit 137 is not reflected in the video effect, and an animation different from the player's operation is executed in the video effect. Further, the operation suggestion of the operation means displayed by animation when the playback state is changed and the video effect is being executed may be frustrating. For this reason, even if the setting operation unit 137 is operated during execution of the video effect, the operation of the setting operation unit 137 is not reflected in the effect.

  When the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment performs the rewind playback by changing the playback state of the animation, the rewind playback is correctly performed except for the animation based on the operation of the setting operation unit 137 of the player. The animation based on the operation of the player's setting operation unit 137 is not executed, or the reverse animation of the animation different from the animation based on the operation of the player's setting operation unit 137 gives the player an uncomfortable feeling, In some cases, it can be noticed that rewind playback (reverse playback) is being performed.

(Example 1-3)
24 and 25 show the hold icon animation in Example 1-3 of the present embodiment. First, with reference to FIG. 24, a description will be given of an animation of a hold icon using a soldier character.

  FIG. 24A shows, in time series, the animation of the hold icon using the soldier character displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208. In this example, an animation in which a lying soldier turns a book page is displayed. In the animation, as shown in FIG. 24A, hold icons are displayed in the order of “A” → “B” → “C” → “D” → “A”.

  FIG. 24B is a table showing display switching between the case where the hold icon of this example is reproduced in the forward direction (forward reproduction) and the case where the hold icon is reproduced in the reverse direction (reverse reproduction). As shown in FIG. 24B, in forward playback, the display mode is switched from “A” to “B” shown in FIG. 24A by display switching 1, and the display mode is changed to FIG. The display mode is switched from “B” to “C”, the display mode is switched from “C” to “D” shown in FIG. 24A by display switching 3, and the display mode is changed to FIG. The display mode is switched from “D” to “A”.

  On the other hand, in reverse playback, the display mode is switched from “A” to “D” shown in FIG. 24A by display switching 1, and “D” to “C” shown in FIG. 24, the display mode is switched from “C” to “B” shown in FIG. 24A, and the display mode is changed from “B” to “A” shown in FIG. The display mode is switched.

  It is assumed that the hold icon in this example is always reproduced in the forward direction even when the reproduction state of the animation effect executed on the decorative symbol display device 208 is changed. In addition, in the hold icon display switching 1 to 4 in this example, there is no matching display switching between the forward reproduction and the backward reproduction. For this reason, even if the playback state of the animation effect executed on the decorative symbol display device 208 is changed to rewind playback, the player can easily notice that the hold icon in this example is played in the forward direction. There are cases where it is possible. For this reason, the animation of the hold icon according to this example may give the player a sense of incongruity after the reproduction state is changed, and may make the hold icon stand out. Also, the pachinko machine 100 according to the present example, when changing the playback state of a part of the animation, displays important information in an animation in which the playback state is not changed without making the player feel uncomfortable. There are cases where it is possible.

  Next, the hold icon animation using the sergeant character will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 25A shows the animation of the hold icon using the sergeant character displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208 in time series. In this example, an animation is displayed in which the sergeant changes direction from the front (“A” in the figure), right (“B” in the figure), and left (“C” in the figure). In the animation, as shown in FIG. 25A, hold icons are displayed in the order of “A” → “B” → “A” → “C” → “A”.

  FIG. 25B is a table showing display switching between when the hold icon of this example is reproduced in the forward direction and when reproduced in the reverse direction. As shown in FIG. 25 (b), in forward reproduction, the display mode is switched from “A” to “B” shown in FIG. 25 (a) by display switching 1, and the display mode is changed to FIG. 25 (a) by display switching 2. The display mode is switched from “B” to “A”, the display mode is switched from “A” to “C” shown in FIG. 25A by display switching 3, and the display mode is changed from FIG. The display mode is switched from “C” to “A”.

  On the other hand, in reverse reproduction, the display mode is switched from “A” to “C” shown in FIG. 25A by display switching 1, and “C” to “A” shown in FIG. The display mode is switched to “3”, the display mode is switched from “A” to “B” shown in FIG. 25A by display switching 3, and “B” to “A” shown in FIG. The display mode is switched.

  It is assumed that the hold icon in this example is always reproduced in the forward direction even when the reproduction state of the animation effect executed on the decorative symbol display device 208 is changed. In addition, in the hold icon display switching 1 to 4 in this example, there is display switching that matches between forward reproduction and reverse reproduction. As shown in FIG. 25 (b), the forward playback display switch 1 and the backward playback display switch 3 match, the forward playback display switch 2 and the backward playback display switch 4 match, The display switch 3 for forward reproduction and the display switch 1 for backward reproduction match, and the display switch 4 for forward playback and display switch 2 for backward playback match. For this reason, even if the playback state of the animation effect executed on the decorative symbol display device 208 is changed to rewind playback, the player cannot notice that the hold icon in this example is played in the forward direction. For this reason, the animation of the hold icon according to this example can prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable after the reproduction state is changed.

  In this way, if the display switching is the same between forward playback and backward playback, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to know whether the animation of the hold icon is played back in the forward direction or the reverse direction. . In this example, the display switches 1 to 4 for forward reproduction are the same as the display switches 1 to 4 for backward reproduction. The greater the number of matches between the forward-direction playback display switching and the backward-direction playback display switching, the more the animation of the hold icon is displayed when the playback state of the animation effect being executed on the decorative symbol display device 208 is changed. In some cases, the feeling of discomfort given to the user can be reduced.

  As described above, an animation display mode in which the reproduction state is not changed may be difficult to give a sense of incongruity when the reproduction state of an animation other than the animation is changed, for example. As a display mode that does not give a sense of incongruity when an animation different from the animation is played in the reverse direction (rewind playback), the display mode of the animation in which the playback state is not changed is the same as that in the case of the reverse playback in advance. A display is incorporated (see FIG. 25B).

  If the number of holds is not misidentified, the playback state of the animation related to the hold icon may be changed. For example, while changing the reproduction state of the standby animation of the hold icon shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, changing the reproduction state while preventing the misunderstanding of the hold number by not changing the position where the hold icon is displayed. May be possible. Further, when a plurality of hold icons are displayed, the playback state of other hold icons may be changed without changing the playback state of only one hold icon.

(Example 1-4)
FIG. 26 and FIG. 27 show examples of effect display in Example 1-4 of the present embodiment in time series. FIG. 26A shows a state during the fluctuation period of the special figure 1 variable game. The special figure 1 display device 212 displays the special figure 1 fluctuation display, and the special figure 2 display apparatus 214 displays "Special figure d" which is a stop symbol of the latest special figure 2 variable game. The special figure 1 hold lamp 218 lights up the first LED from the left to indicate that the number of hold in the special figure 1 is one.

  In the decorative symbol display device 208, an Oedo athletic meet animation production is executed. In the symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c, “decoration 4—decoration 9—decoration 4” is temporarily stopped (fluctuated).

  At the time shown in FIG. 26 (a), the normal figure low probability state (during non-electric support) is won, but during the execution of the Oedo Athletic Meet animation production, One game ball wins and one special figure 2 variable game is newly held. For this reason, the special figure 2 hold lamp 220 lights up the first LED from the left and displays that the number of hold in the special figure 2 has increased to 1, and the special figure 2 hold number display area a2 displays the special figure. The number “1” indicating the number of holdings of 2 is displayed.

  FIG. 26B shows a state in which the special figure 1 variable game has been completed. The special figure G (displacement) is stopped and displayed on the special figure 1 display device 212, “x” is stopped and displayed in the fourth symbol display area e1 for special figure 1, and the fluctuations of fluctuation are observed in the symbol display areas 208a to 208c. After completion, the symbol combination “decoration 4-decoration 9-decoration 4” is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, a special figure 2 hold icon display area 950 is displayed at the right end of the effect display area 208d. Since the special figure 2 hold icon display area 950 has the same function as the hold icon display area 900, a detailed description of the special figure 2 hold icon display area 950 is omitted. The special figure 2 hold icon display area 950 of this example is displayed only when the special figure 2 variable game is held during the normal figure low probability state. As shown in FIG. 26 (b), a hold icon 951 is displayed in the special figure 2 hold icon display area 950 to notify that the number of hold in the special figure 2 is one.

  Since the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment is a special figure 2 priority change machine, the special figure 2 change game is preferentially digested. FIG. 26 (c) shows a state in which the special figure 2 variable game is started. The special figure 2 display device 214 starts the fluctuation display of the special figure 2 of the special figure fluctuation pattern (special animation) shown in FIG. The special figure 2 holding lamp 220 displays that the number of holdings in the special figure 2 has decreased from 1 to 0 by turning off the first LED from the left. In the symbol display areas 208a to 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208, decorative symbol variation display is started in which the decorative symbols sequentially move (rotate) in the direction indicated by the downward arrow in the drawing. In addition, in the fourth symbol display area e2 for the special symbol 2, the variation display of the fourth symbol is started. In the special figure 2 hold number display area a2, the number “0” indicating the hold number of the special figure 2 is displayed. Further, the hold icon 951 is erased in such a manner that the transmittance (transparency) gradually increases. Further, Yoshimune c8 with a signboard is displayed in the upper left of the effect display area 208d, and a notice is displayed in the special figure 2 variable game.

  FIG. 26 (d) shows a state where the special figure 2 variable game is completed. The special figure d (displacement) is stopped and displayed on the special figure 2 display device 214, “x” is stopped and displayed in the fourth symbol display area e2 for special figure 2, and the symbol combination “208” is displayed in the symbol display areas 208a to 208c. “Decoration 2—Decoration 2—Decoration 3” is stopped. Further, when the number of holds in FIG. 2 becomes 0 and the hold icon 951 is completely deleted, the special figure 2 hold icon display area 950 is deleted.

  After a predetermined time has elapsed since the special figure 2 display device 214 stopped and displayed, the next special figure 1 variable game is started. As shown in FIG. 26 (e), in the special figure 1 display device 212, the fluctuation display of the special figure 1 of the special figure fluctuation pattern (special animation) shown in FIG. 5 (e) is started. The special figure 1 hold lamp 218 indicates that the number of hold in the special figure 1 has decreased from 1 to 0 by turning off the first LED from the left. In the symbol display areas 208a to 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208, decorative symbol variation display is started in which the decorative symbols sequentially move (rotate) in the direction indicated by the downward arrow in the drawing. In addition, in the fourth symbol display area e1 for the special symbol 1, the variation display of the fourth symbol is started. In addition, in the special figure 1 hold number display area a1, a number “0” indicating the hold number of the special figure 1 is displayed.

  In addition, when the special figure 1 variable game is started, a hold icon deletion animation and a variable icon deletion animation in which the change icon enters the opening of the clay pipe are executed. In the hold icon deletion animation, the hold icon 901 displayed in the first area of the hold icon display area 900 becomes the fluctuation icon 801. In the variation icon erasing animation, the variation icon 801 moves toward the opening of the clay pipe in the variation icon display area 800.

  In this example, execution of the video effect is selected in the effect lottery process (step S703) shown in FIG. 14 executed at the start of the special figure 1 variable game. In FIG. 26F, a pause effect in which the playback state changes to a pause is executed as a video effect.

  In this example, when the reproduction state is paused, the decorative symbol variation display is paused, and “decoration 6-decoration 1-decoration 5” is stopped and displayed in the symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. Further, the variation display of the fourth symbol and the variation icon erasing animation are continued without being paused. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 27A, the variation icon 801 gradually enters the opening of the clay pipe and is erased.

  FIG. 27B shows a state where the playback state is changed to rewind playback. In this example, the game progressed in the order of special figure 1 variable game, special figure 2 variable game, and special figure 1 variable game. However, even if the rewind playback is started, the effect in the special figure 2 variable game is reproduced. Instead, as shown in FIG. 27 (c), the special figure 1 variable game effect performed in FIG. 26 (a) is rewound and reproduced. For this reason, in the rewind playback, an animation is displayed as if the special figure 2 variable game was not performed, and the Yoshimune c8 shown in FIG.

  In this way, the rewind playback of this embodiment is not displayed with the animation that was performed before the start of the video effect being completely reproduced. In this example, it was displayed immediately before the start of the rewind playback. The animation related to the special figure 2 variable game is not displayed in the rewind playback. This is because the pachinko machine 100 records the display on the decorative symbol display device 208 and does not perform rewind playback based on the recording, but displays the effect displayed before the start of the video effect by going back in time. This is because an animation that can be felt by the player as if it has been prepared is prepared in advance, the animation is displayed, and rewind playback is executed.

(Example 1-5)
28 to 29 show examples of effect display in Example 1-5 of the present embodiment in time series. FIG. 28A shows a state during the fluctuation period of the special figure 1 variable game. The special figure 1 display device 212 displays the special figure 1 fluctuation display, and the special figure 2 display apparatus 214 displays "Special figure d" which is a stop symbol of the latest special figure 2 variable game. The special figure 1 hold lamp 218 lights up the first LED from the left to indicate that the number of the special figure 1 hold is 1, and the special figure 2 hold lamp 220 turns off all the LEDs. It is displayed that the number of holds in the special figure 2 is 0.

  FIG. 28A shows a state in which the special figure 1 variable game is completed. As shown in FIG. 28A, in the special figure 1 display device 212, “special figure G” indicating that the result of determining whether or not the special figure 1 variable game is correct is stopped and displayed. In addition, the special figure 2 display device 214 displays “Special figure d” which is a stop symbol of the latest special figure 2 variable game. The special figure 1 holding lamp 218 lights the first and second LEDs from the left to indicate that the number of the active holding balls in the special figure 1 (the number of holdings in the special figure 1) is two, The special figure 2 holding lamp 220 turns off all the LEDs and displays that the number of operation holding balls in the special figure 2 (the number of holdings in the special figure 2) is zero.

  In the symbol display areas 208a to 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208, the symbol combination “decoration 8-decoration 0-” other than the symbol combination for notifying the winning, indicating that the result of determining whether or not the special-figure 1 variable game is successful is out of place. Decoration 3 ”is stopped and displayed. In the hold icon display area 900, a hold icon 901 and a hold icon 902 are displayed. In addition, in the special figure 1 hold number display area a1, a number “2” indicating the hold number of the special figure 1 is displayed, and in the special figure 2 hold number display area a2, a number “2” indicating the hold number of the special figure 2 is displayed. “0” is displayed. Also, in the 4th symbol display area e1 for special figure 1, “x” indicating that the result of determining whether or not the special figure 1 variable game is correct is stopped, and the 4th symbol display area for special figure 2 is displayed. In e2, “x” indicating that the latest special figure 2 variable game is out of play is stopped and displayed.

  The pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment displays a variation icon display area 850 in the effect display area 208d and to the left of the hold icon display area 900. The fluctuation icon display area has a square display area and can display one fluctuation icon.

  After a predetermined time has elapsed since the special figure 1 display device 212 stopped and displayed, the next special figure 1 variable game is started. As shown in FIG. 28B, in the special figure 1 display device 212, the fluctuation display of the special figure 1 of the special figure fluctuation pattern (special animation) shown in FIG. 5E is started. The special figure 1 holding lamp 218 displays that the number of reserved figures in the special figure 1 has decreased from 2 to 1 by turning off the second LED from the left. Also, the symbol display area 208a to the decorative symbol display device 208 is displayed. In 208c, the decorative symbol variation display is started in which the decorative symbol sequentially moves (rotates) in the direction indicated by the downward arrow in the drawing. In addition, in the fourth symbol display area e1 for the special symbol 1, the variation display of the fourth symbol is started. In the special figure 1 hold number display area a1, a number “1” indicating the hold number of the special figure 1 is displayed.

  Also, when the special figure 1 variable game is started, the hold icon deletion animation in which the hold icon is deleted, the hold icon moving animation in which the hold icon moves, and the change icon movement in which the change icon moves to the change icon display area 850 Animation is executed. In the hold icon deletion animation, the hold icon 901 displayed in the first area of the hold icon display area 900 becomes the fluctuation icon 801. In this example, the hold icon 901 changes to a change icon 801 simultaneously with the start of the special figure change game. In the hold icon movement animation, the hold icon 902 displayed in the second area of the hold icon display area 900 gradually moves to the first area. In the variation icon movement animation, the variation icon 801 moves toward the variation icon display area 850.

  FIG. 28C shows a state in which the reach effect is started. "Decoration 6" is displayed in the right and left symbol display areas 208a and 208c. Also, when the reach effect is started, the fluctuation icon erasing animation is started. The change icon 801 is erased as the display size gradually decreases.

  FIG. 28 (d) shows a state in which the reach production of the swordsman confrontation where Yoshimune c4 and swordsman c7 confront each other has started. The reach direction of the swordsman showdown is the super reach direction. During the execution of the super reach effect, the fluctuation icon display area 850, the hold icon display area 900, and all the hold icons are not displayed.

  FIG. 28 (e) shows a state in which the swordsman c7 has won the swordsman confrontation reach. “Decoration 6” is displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b, and “decoration 6-decoration 7-decoration 6” is temporarily stopped (fluctuated) in the symbol display areas 208a, 208b, 208c. In this state, the playback state is paused, and the video production is paused.

  FIG. 28F shows a state where the playback state has been changed to rewind playback. It is displayed as an animation in which the confrontation between Yoshimune c4 and swordsman c7 goes back in time. In addition, “decoration 6” is displayed in the right and left symbol display areas 208a and 208c, and in the middle symbol display area 208b, there is a variation display of the decoration symbol in which the decorative symbol moves (rotates) from the bottom to the top as if time goes back. Has been done.

  FIG. 29A shows a state in which the rewinding reproduction is continued and the state is rewinded to the state before the swordsman confrontation reach effect is started. In the right and left symbol display areas 208a and 208c, “decoration 6” is displayed, and in the middle symbol display area 208b, a decorative symbol is displayed in which the decorative symbol moves (rotates) from the bottom to the top as if time goes back. ing.

  In addition, when the rewind playback is executed, the change icon 801 is returned to the display before being erased. As shown in FIG. 29A, the change icon 801 is displayed as the display size gradually increases and the change icon deletion animation is rewound. At this time, the variation icon 801 may be displayed in a display mode (for example, a display mode with higher reliability) that is different from that when the change icon 801 is deleted.

  Further, the hold icon in this example is not affected by the change in the playback state. The hold icon 902 is displayed in the first area of the hold icon display area 900 without returning to the second area of the hold icon display area 900 even if the rewind playback is executed. Thus, the change icon and the hold icon that have the same appearance (size, shape, and color) show different behaviors when the video effect is executed. The change icon 801 is influenced by the video effect, and is displayed so that the time goes back during rewind playback. The hold icon 902 is not affected by the video effect and is displayed in the same manner as before the video effect is started.

  FIG. 29B shows a state in which the video effect is finished. When the video effect is finished, the variable display of the decorative symbol in which the decorative symbol moves (rotates) from the top to the bottom is resumed in the symbol variable display areas 208a, 208b, and 208c.

  FIG. 29C shows a state in which the reach effect is started. In the left and right symbol display areas 208a and 208c, “decoration 7” and the like are displayed, and reach is achieved by variation of the ornament symbol. In addition, after the video effect is finished, the variation icon 801 may be erased by executing the variation icon deletion animation again. Further, the fluctuation icon erasure animation may not be executed for the fluctuation icon whose display is restored by the rewind playback of the video effect, and the fluctuation icon 801 may be deleted at the end of the corresponding special figure fluctuation game.

  Further, the animation executed in the manner different from the forward reproduction at the time of rewinding reproduction is not limited to the animation related to the operation of the player's setting operation unit 137 (see FIG. 22 (e)). An animation related to the change icon 801 as shown in FIG. In such a case, the display mode of the fluctuation icon 801 whose display is restored in FIG. 29A may be the display mode (other than the default (white circle)) when the pre-reading notice is performed. Further, when the animation is rewound and played back, the display of the change icon 801 that has been deleted in the white state, which is a mode of low jackpot reliability, may be returned in green with a big hit reliability higher than white.

(Example 1-6)
FIG. 30 shows an example of effect display in Example 1-6 of the present embodiment. FIG. 30A shows a state where the playback state is changed to fast forward and the video effect fast forward playback is executed. When fast-forward playback is started, a playback state change display 700 including a mark indicating fast-forward and a character string “fast forward” is displayed to notify that the playback state has been changed to fast-forward. In addition, an effect image f2 in which a moving image is fast-forwarded is displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 30A, a reproduction state change display 700 is displayed so as to overlap a part of the fluctuation icon display area 850 and a part of the hold icon display area 900. The reproduction state change display 700 is displayed in a layer (front) above the change icon display area 850 and the hold icon display area 902. For this reason, all of the variation icons displayed in the variation icon 850 that overlap the reproduction state change display 700 and a part of the hold icon 902 are not visible. Further, the variation icon is erased by executing the variation icon deletion animation while being hidden in the reproduction state change display 700.

  FIG. 30B shows a state where the playback state is changed to fast forward and the video effect fast forward playback is executed. When fast-forward playback is started, a playback state change display 700 including a mark indicating fast-forward and a character string “fast forward” is displayed to notify that the playback state has been changed to fast-forward. The reproduction state change display 700 of this example is displayed so as not to overlap the fluctuation icon display area 850 and the hold icon display area 900.

  In this example, the effect image f2 is displayed in a layer (front) above the variation icon display area 850 and the variation icon 801. The effect image f2 is displayed so as to hide a part of the variation icon display area 850 and the variation icon 801. For this reason, the portion of the fluctuation icon display area 850 and the fluctuation icon 801 that overlap the reproduction state change display 700 are not visible.

  On the other hand, the hold icon 902 is displayed in a layer (front side) above the effect image f2. The hold icon 902 is displayed so as to hide a part of the effect image f2.

  In this way, the effect image f2 is displayed so as to hide the variation icon 801 and is displayed so as not to hide the hold icon 902. In this example, the hold icon 902 is displayed with priority over the change icon 801 when the video effect is executed.

  In addition, the priority order of the hold icon 902 and the change icon 801 may be reversed when the video effect is executed, and the change icon 801 may be displayed with priority over the hold icon 902. In this case, the effect image f2 is displayed so as not to hide the fluctuation icon 801 and is displayed so as to hide the hold icon 902.

  Thus, the image displayed with the start of the video effect may hide the image displayed before the start of the video effect.

  Next, the characteristic configuration of the pachinko machine 100 according to the first embodiment described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 30 again.

It is characterized by that.

  According to the pachinko machine 100, there are cases where it is possible to display effects by various animations.

(2) The pachinko machine 100,
The first animation is an animation that at least shows a mode in which a first image (for example, a predetermined frame) is changed to a second image (for example, a frame next to the predetermined frame) at a first time,
The second image is an image in which one of a display mode and a display position is different from the first image,
The second animation includes an animation showing at least a mode in which the second image is changed to the first image and a mode in which the first image is changed to the second image at a second time. At least one of the animations shown
The second time is a time different from the first time.
It is characterized by that.

  According to the pachinko machine 100, when one animation is played back, the other animation may be played in the forward direction to make the rewind playback stand out. In addition, according to the pachinko machine 100, by changing the image switching speed of one animation, various effects (display) such as pause, slow play, frame advance, fast forward play, and the like are possible. In some cases, it is possible to make it noticeable that the image switching speed of one animation has been changed without changing the image switching speed of the other animation. In addition, according to the pachinko machine 100, when the animation is rewound and reproduced, or when the image switching speed of one animation is changed, a player who makes a mistake that the pachinko machine 100 has failed is By continuing to display the animation without changing the display mode, there is a case where it is possible to notify that the effect is being executed, not the failure of the pachinko machine 100.

(3) The pachinko machine 100,

The third condition is a condition that may be satisfied at least after the start of display of the second animation and before the end of display of the second animation.
It is characterized by that.

  According to the pachinko machine 100, the first animation playback state is changed by displaying the third animation whose playback state is not changed simultaneously with the second animation in which the playback state of the first animation is changed. It may be possible to emphasize more. In addition, according to the pachinko machine 100, independent of the change in the display mode of the first animation, an important display in the third animation having the same display mode at all times (for example, a variation display of the fourth symbol, Display related to the player's profits such as a hold icon), it is easy to attract the player's attention to the third animation display, and even if the display mode of other animation is changed, In some cases, the animation can prevent the content from being confused by the player.

(4) The pachinko machine 100,
It is provided with a symbol display means (for example, special figure 1 display device 212, special figure 2 display device 214) capable of executing at least a symbol variation display,
The image display means can display at least a hold icon,
The image display means is capable of displaying at least the number of the holding icons corresponding to the number of the operation holding balls that will operate the symbol display means,
The third animation is an animation related to the hold icon.
It is characterized by that.

  According to the pachinko machine 100 described above, even if the display mode (playback state) of the first animation is changed, the display mode of the third animation related to the hold icon is not changed. There is a case where a certain hold icon can be made conspicuous, or misunderstanding of the number of hold icons can be prevented.

(5) The pachinko machine 100,
The third condition is a condition that may be satisfied at least when there is an increase or decrease in the number of the operation holding balls,
The third animation is one of an animation showing a mode of moving the hold icon and an animation showing a mode of deleting the hold icon.
It is characterized by that.

  According to the pachinko machine 100, even if the display mode of the first animation is changed, the display mode of the third animation related to the hold icon is not changed, so that the hold icon that is the benefit of the player is not changed. In some cases, it is possible to make it stand out or to prevent misidentification of the number of held icons.

(6) The pachinko machine 100,
The hold display means is capable of at least displaying a digestion hold icon (for example, a change icon) that is a hold icon corresponding to the design change display in relation to the start of the design change display.
The hold display means is capable of at least displaying an undigested hold icon (for example, a hold icon) that is a hold icon that does not correspond to the design change display in association with the start of the design change display. ,
The first and second animations are animations related to the undigested pending icon,
The third animation is an animation related to the digestion pending icon.
It is characterized by that.

  According to the pachinko machine 100, even if it is an animation related to a hold icon, by determining in advance whether or not the display mode of the animation can be changed according to the function of the target hold icon, There are cases where display can be performed in various modes.

  Further, the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment can display special symbols on the special symbol display device 212 and the special symbol display device 214 even if the reproduction state of the animation effect displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208 is changed. The playback state of the fluctuation display (fluctuation animation) and the normal symbol fluctuation display (fluctuation animation) on the general map display device 210 are not changed.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, when one animation has a plurality of elements and the reproduction state of the animation is changed, the second element is changed while changing the reproduction state of the first element. It is not necessary to change the playback state of elements. For example, when audio is reproduced simultaneously with the reproduction of the animation, the animation may be reversely reproduced, but the audio may not be reversely reproduced. This is because the playback state change display 700 and the effect f1 are displayed during the rewind playback (for example, FIG. 19E), so that the animation displayed before the rewind playback is started is rewinded. This is because there is no need to rewind the audio because it is not completely reproduced by reproduction.

  The effects reproduced in the forward direction include not only the animation displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208 but also the sound from the speaker 120, the operation of the effect movable body 224, the blinking of the lamp such as the frame lamp 122, and the like. Further, the cumulative display of the number of prize balls displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208 is also included in the effect played in the forward direction.

  The change of the reproduction state of the animation may be performed corresponding to the determination result of the special figure variation game, or may be performed corresponding to the effect lottery or the like. Also, the animation playback state may be changed corresponding to both of them.

  The scale (display time) of the animation after changing the playback state (second animation) may be different from the scale (display time) of the animation (first animation) before changing the playback state. When the two scales are different, the scale after the playback state change may be longer than the scale before the playback state change, or the scale before the playback state change may be longer than the scale after the playback state change.

  According to the pachinko machine 100, even if the rewind effect looks the same, the probability that an impossible display is performed is different between the first rewind effect and the second rewind effect. In some cases, the player can be noticed by the rewind effect.

  In the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, the visibility of an image that has been displayed before the rewind effect may be reduced due to the display of a new image during the rewind effect. In addition, when a new image is displayed during the rewind effect, the image that has been displayed before the rewind playback may be hidden by the new image (see FIG. 36).

  The effect image f1 and the playback state change table 700 that are always displayed when the rewind playback is executed are not included in the first display.

  The first display may be a display that may be displayed only during execution of the rewind effect. In the rewind effect, a part or all of the display performed from the start of the symbol variation display until the start of the rewind effect is rewound and displayed.

  When the first display is performed during the rewinding effect, the special figure variation game being executed may be a big hit. In addition, when the first display is not performed during the rewinding effect, the special figure variation game being executed may be a big hit or may be lost.

  The first display may be a display related to the second display. For example, a part of the display is different between the first display and the second display, and the other parts may have the same display. Different displays may include different colors, shapes, characters, and the like.

  In the symbol variation display, the symbol variation display is started after the determination of whether or not the one start information is performed, and after the selected variation time has elapsed, the symbol combination corresponding to the result of the determination of success or failure is obtained. It may be executed for a period until it is stopped and displayed (generally, a period called one change or one rotation).

  A specific display in the rewind effect may be hidden by performing the first display during the rewind effect. In addition, it is sufficient that the specific display is not hidden, and the visible area of the specific display is smaller when the first display is performed than when the first display is not performed. .

  The longer the period of the forward reproduction effect that is the target of the rewind effect, the higher the big hit reliability. There are a plurality of forward reproduction periods for which the rewind effect is the target of rewinding, and a longer win is more likely to be a big hit than a shorter rewind display period.

  There is a special display that is always displayed regardless of whether or not the rewind effect can be performed, and the first display is a special display in the first period. The first display may include an operation promotion notification that prompts the player to operate the operation means (for example, operation request image 710, see FIG. 21). The operation promotion notification may be notification that prompts the operation of a single operation means, or notification that prompts the operation of a plurality of operation means. In particular, notification of timing for operating the operation means and operation order of the plurality of operation means may be notified.

  The first display may be a display relating to the player's profit. For example, the amount of profits (game balls or medals) paid to the player during a predetermined period may be displayed, or the profits relatively obtained by the player during the predetermined period (the above-mentioned paid game balls) Or a game ball or medal consumed by a player from a medal).

  In the first display, the display mode may change according to the progress of the game. The first display may display, for example, the remaining number of advantageous periods (such as the remaining number of power support changes), or the number of consecutive homes (total number of jackpots that have occurred during a predetermined period). Also good.

  The first display may be an animation that is not displayed in a rewind state even during a rewind effect. Furthermore, the animation may be an animation that looks as if it is running backward from the rewind effect. In particular, the first display may be displayed as an animation other than during the rewind effect.

  In addition to the first display, a special display that is not displayed in the rewind state even during the execution of the rewind effect may be displayed. The special display includes, for example, a display of variation of the fourth symbol and a display relating to the number of reserved special figures.

  The rewind effect rewinds and reproduces the display performed before the execution of the rewind effect from the start until the predetermined period, and the first rewind effect is not performed before the execution of the rewind effect after the predetermined period. A display may be performed. That is, after the predetermined period, the display as if rewinding is being performed is performed, but the display itself may not have been performed in the past. For example, images are displayed in the order of image A → image B → image C → image D → image E → (image D → image C) → “image b → image a”, and image D → image C in parentheses is wrapped. This is a return effect, and the image b → image a in the brackets may be the first display resembling the rewind effect. The switching display of the image D → the image C may be different from the switching display of the image b → the image a.

The fast-forward playback may be executed while reducing the time taken until the second display that is displayed after the first display is performed.
In the temporary stop, the first display is performed for a relatively long time.
The slow playback is executed with an extended time until the second display displayed after the first display is performed.
In skip reproduction, the third display may be performed without performing the second display after the first display. As a moving image serving as a reference for skip reproduction, there is a moving image in which images are displayed in the order of first display, second display, and third display. Further, the third display may be a display after the second display in time series, or may be a display before the first display. In skip reproduction, there are cases where images are displayed by skipping the previous display in time series.

An effect with a high probability that an impossible display will be performed has a lower jackpot reliability than an effect with a low probability of an impossible display.
There is a case where the display itself which may become impossible is not displayed in the first place.
There may be a case where a plurality of displays indicating that the playback state of the moving image already displayed during the moving image display is not a changed moving image is executed (for example, a moving image related to the fourth pattern and an increased hold icon) Video images).
The execution probability of at least one of the plurality of displays may be different for each effect. In addition, a display with a low execution probability is displayed larger on the display means than a display with a high execution probability. The hold display that may be displayed during the display of the moving image is displayed larger than the fourth pattern that is always displayed.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, a game table according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described. First, the overall configuration of the slot machine 1100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 38 is an external perspective view of the slot machine 1100 as seen from the front side (player side).

  A slot machine 1100 shown in FIG. 38 includes a main body 1101 and a front door 1102 that is attached to the front surface of the main body 1101 and can be opened and closed with respect to the main body 1101. Three reels (left reel 1110, middle reel 1111, right reel 1112) having a plurality of types of symbols (not shown) arranged on the outer peripheral surface are housed inside the center of the main body 1101 and rotated inside the slot machine 1100. It is configured to be able to. These reels 1110 to 1112 are rotationally driven by a driving device such as a stepping motor.

  In the present embodiment, an appropriate number of symbols are printed on the belt-like member at equal intervals, and the reels 1110 to 1112 are configured by attaching the belt-like member to a predetermined circular cylindrical frame member. When viewed from the player, the symbols on the reels 1110 to 1112 are generally displayed in the vertical direction from the symbol display window 1113 so that a total of nine symbols can be seen. Then, by rotating the reels 1110 to 1112, the combination of symbols that can be seen by the player varies. That is, each of the reels 1110 to 1112 functions as a display device that displays a combination of a plurality of types of symbols in a variable manner. In addition to the reel, an electronic image display device such as a liquid crystal display device can also be used as such a display device. In this embodiment, the three reels 1110 to 1112 are provided inside the center of the slot machine 1100. However, the number of reels and the installation position of the reels are not limited thereto.

  Backlights (not shown) for illuminating individual symbols displayed on the symbol display window 1113 are arranged on the rear surfaces of the reels 1110 to 1112. It is desirable that the backlight is shielded for each symbol so that the individual symbols can be illuminated evenly. In the slot machine 1100, an optical sensor (not shown) including a light projecting unit and a light receiving unit is provided in the vicinity of each reel 1110 to 1112. The light projecting unit and the light receiving unit of this optical sensor are provided. A light shielding piece of a certain length provided on the reel passes between the two. Based on the detection result of this sensor, the position of the symbol on the reel in the rotation direction is determined, and the reels 1110 to 1112 are stopped so that the target symbol is displayed on the winning line.

  The winning line display lamp 1120 is a lamp indicating a winning line 1114 that is valid. The effective pay line is determined in advance by the number of medals bet as a game medium. There are 5 winning lines 1114. For example, when one medal is bet, the middle horizontal winning line is valid, and when two medals are betted, the upper horizontal winning line and the lower horizontal winning line are added. When three lines are valid and three medals are bet, five lines including a right-down winning line and an upper-right winning line are valid as winning lines.
