Abstract

An effect related to a decorative design has been frequently used so far, and further improvement is required to prevent the mannerism. A special symbol suggesting the feasibility of a special game can be displayed as a type of decorative symbol, and the digestion of the hold that is digested before the hold that becomes the execution trigger in the execution of the hold prefetching continuous effect. At times, a special symbol is displayed only as a final stop symbol, while a special symbol is displayed only as a temporary stop symbol at the time of digestion of a hold as an execution trigger.

Description

  It relates to pachinko machines.

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

  Here, since this mechanism is common to this type of pachinko machine, in order to differentiate it from other types, how to devise the overall production including the variation aspect of the above-mentioned design and to have high interest It is focused on whether to grant. For example, after temporarily stopping the “decorative symbol” that is displayed in a variable manner, it is restarted, or the “decorative symbol” that is displayed in a variable manner is not displayed, and instead, a highly interesting moving image is displayed. One such technique is to improve the fun of the game by such a production technique.

Form to carry out

  First, the meaning of each term in this specification will be described. “Pitching” includes not only winning a prize ball to be paid out, but also passing to a “through chucker” without winning a prize ball. “Open state, open state” and “closed state, closed state” are, for example, in the configuration of a general big prize opening (so-called attacker), open state = easy-to-win state and closed state = non-winning state Easy state. Also, for example, a state protruding from the game board (player side) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as advance state) and a state of being retracted into the game board (side opposite to the player side) (hereinafter referred to as retreat state) In a configuration (so-called velo-type attacker) that can take the following condition, the advance state = easy-to-win state and the evacuation state = non-easy-to-win state. “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko game machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a random number in a narrow sense (for example, a hard- Random numbers and soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, the so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers (random numbers for success / failure lottery)” related to the transition of special games, and the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol "Variation mode determination random number" for determining, "symbol determination random number" for determining a stop symbol, "hit symbol determination random number" for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, etc. be able to. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. Also, in this specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of the number of random numbers or a plurality of random numbers, but one entry (for example, starting entrance) that triggers the acquisition of random numbers. The random number obtained by entering the ball is referred to as one (ie, in the above example, the random number bundle of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + design determining random number... Is referred to as one random number) . Further, for example, a kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). “Game state” means, for example, a transition to a special game state rather than a non-stochastic game state in which a lottery probability for transition to a special game state or a special game state in which a special winning opening can be in an open state is a predetermined value. A probabilistic variable gaming state with a high lottery probability, an auxiliary gaming state with assistance for winning at the starting port that becomes a lottery opportunity for special games (so-called normal symbol short-time state, for example, a variable member is attached to the starting port In such a case, the variable member may be one or a combination of a plurality of combinations such as a long opening period of the variable member, a high probability of winning the opening of the variable member, and a short notification time of the result of the variable member opening lottery. The “design for presentation” is a display image of a kind called a so-called decorative design or a decorative design, and typically has numbers, symbols, etc. written on an image object such as a card type. Then, the fact that the big hit has occurred is notified by finally stopping and displaying the image object on the effective line with a combination of the same numbers and symbols. The “design for the first effect” and the “design for the second effect” are both “design for the effect”, but each is configured to be able to notify the occurrence of the big hit independently. (For example, the symbol for the first effect is “777” and it is possible to report the occurrence of the big hit, and the symbol for the second effect is “777” and the occurrence of the big hit can be notified. But also) “Provisionally stop (or temporarily stop) the design for rendering” is synonymous with “temporarily stop → re-variate” as one set and perform / do not perform this one set. is there. Also, it is synonymous to exclude the final stop display timing for notifying whether or not a big hit has occurred (typically, the stop display is finally displayed together with a so-called special symbol stop display). In addition, the “design for presentation” is based on the first element (for example, numbers), and the second element (for example, color), the third element (the presence / absence / content of supplementary information such as characters and “SUPER”), etc. It may be configured as ancillary. In addition, when the production mode is different, the “design for presentation” may be configured such that the first element is the same, or the second element and / or the third element are different. Also, the expectation that the variation in reach will be a big hit due to the difference between the second element and / or the third element, the big change in the symbol change related to the prefetching effect when the specific symbol combination is stopped when the prefetching effect is executed The profit rate for the player, such as the number of rounds at the time of jackpot and the gaming state after the jackpot ends, may be different. Further, in such a configuration, in the case of the probability variation gaming state, the time shortening gaming state, or the like, the second element and / or the third element are compared with the player in the normal gaming state. You may comprise so that it may become an element advantageous to.

  The following embodiment is a model in which two conventional type 1 pachinko gaming machines are mixed (type 1 type 1 complex machine). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is applicable to other game machines (for example, conventional 1st type, 2nd type, 3rd type, general pachinko game machines such as general electric roles). .

  From here, an example of a general processing flow in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described using a flowchart. The flowchart is mainly composed of processing steps (illustrated by rectangles), judgments (illustrated by diamonds), flow lines (arrows), terminals indicating start / end / return, etc. (illustrated by rounded rectangles). . Moreover, when the details are illustrated in another flowchart among the processing steps, those referring to the other flowchart are illustrated as a subroutine (illustrated by a rectangle in which the left and right lines are double lines). . Here, in the development stage of gaming machines, gaming machines with different specifications are also developed at the same time, but in this example, a subroutine ( (Subroutines that are not normally used) are not left behind, and processing related to unused subroutines that are not normally executed due to noise or fraudulent actions is prevented from being executed.

  First, FIG. 5 is a main flowchart showing the flow of general processing performed by the main control board M. After powering on the gaming machine, the process of FIG. That is, after the game machine is turned on and initialized (not shown), in step 1002, the main control board M confirms the input port of the RAM clear button and the reset button (RAM clear) of the power supply unit E. Button) has been operated, that is, whether or not an operation of clearing the contents of the RAM has been performed intentionally by a game hall manager or the like. In the case of Yes in step 1002, in step 1004, the main control board M clears all the RAM contents (for example, information in the game state temporary storage means MB) on the main control board M side. Next, in step 1006, the information transmission control means MT transmits ram clear information (command) indicating that the RAM of the main control board M has been cleared to the sub main control unit SM side (even if it is transmitted at this timing). Alternatively, a command may be set at this timing and transmitted by a control command transmission process described later), and the process proceeds to step 1016. On the other hand, if No in step 1002, the main control board M checks the contents of the RAM area in the main control board M in step 1008 (for example, the checksum recorded at the time of power interruption and the RAM area are stored in the RAM area). Comparison with the amount of information). Next, in step 1010, the main control board M determines whether or not the contents of the RAM are not normal based on the check result (whether or not the information at the time of power interruption is accurately backed up in the RAM). If YES in step 1010, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is abnormal, the process proceeds to step 1004 (RAM clear process described above). On the other hand, if the data backed up to the RAM in Step 1010 is normal, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is normal, the main control board M is stored (backed up) in the RAM in the main control board M in Step 1012. The information command is acquired, and in step 1014, the acquired various information commands are transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side (the command may be transmitted at the timing, or the command is set at the timing and described later. It may be configured to transmit by transmission processing), and the process proceeds to step 1016. Next, in step 1016, the main control board M is triggered by a scheduled execution interrupt (for example, about every 1.5 ms) related to the main process on the main control board M side shown in FIG. However, in this example, the interrupt period is set to T) (as a result, when the execution scheduled interrupt timing is reached, (b) in FIG. 11 is executed), the process proceeds to step 1018. . After step 1018, the main control board M repeatedly executes various random number update processing (for example, random number counter increment processing) until the next scheduled interrupt timing is reached.

  It should be noted that the initial value of the temporary storage area (RAM or the like) mounted on the main control board M is preferably configured not to be a value at which a special game is executed (immediately after starting the program processing, noise or fraudulent behavior). In order to prevent the special game from being erroneously executed when the process for determining whether to execute the special game has been executed.

  Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. The main control board M executes the process shown in FIG. 5B based on the interrupt request generated when the scheduled interrupt timing is reached. That is, triggered by the arrival of the scheduled interrupt period T (for example, a hardware interrupt about every 1.5 ms), in step 1100, the main control board M executes an auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition process described later. Next, at step 1200, the main control board M executes an electric accessory driving determination process described later. Next, in step 1300, the main control board M executes a main game content determination random number acquisition process which will be described later. Next, in step 1400, the main control board M executes a main game symbol display process described later. Next, at step 1500, the main control board M executes a special game operation condition determination process described later. Next, in step 1600, the main control board M executes a special game control process described later. Next, in step 1997, the main control board M (especially the winning ball payout determining means MH) receives the winning ball payout control process (drive control of the winning ball payout device KE, etc.) based on the winning opening where the game ball has won. The payout control board KH is executed, and a process for managing the result is executed. Next, in step 1998, the main control board M executes an external signal output process (information output to the external terminal board, the hall computer HC, etc.). Next, in step 1999, the main control board M executes a control command transmission process (transmits the command set in each process described above to the sub-main control unit side), and is executed immediately before the execution of this interrupt process. Return to the process that was being performed. In the control command transmission process, the order in which commands are received on the sub-main control unit SM side is important (for example, the process is normally executed by receiving another command after receiving a certain command). In some cases, the commands are transmitted in the order in which the main control board M determines to transmit the commands (in the order in which the commands are set).

  Next, NMI interrupt processing will be described. As described above, the main control board M is configured such that the power interruption signal from the reset IC is input to the NMI terminal of the CPU, and the processing of FIG. Is done. That is, when the gaming machine is powered off (in this example, when an NMI interrupt occurs), in step 1020, the main control board M sets power interruption information (for example, checksum) based on the information in the RAM area. Next, in step 1022, the main control board M prohibits writing to the RAM area, prohibits timer interrupt processing, and shifts to power-off waiting loop processing.

  Next, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1100 in FIG. First, in step 1102, the auxiliary game start port entrance determining means MJ11-H determines whether or not a game ball enters (inflow, passes in the case of a gate) at the auxiliary game start port H10. In the case of Yes in step 1102, in step 1104, the auxiliary game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-H refers to the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-H, and whether or not the number of hold balls is not the upper limit (for example, 4). Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 1104, in step 1106, the auxiliary game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-H acquires an auxiliary game content determination random number (for example, an auxiliary game symbol winning random number). Next, in step 1108, the auxiliary game symbol holding means MJ32-H sets the random number together with information on how many pieces are held, in the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-H. 1 is added, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1200). In addition, also when it is No in step 1102 or step 1104, it transfers to the next process (process of step 1200).

  Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the electric accessory drive determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1202, the second main game start opening electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B refers to the flag area of the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H and the electric accessory releasing flag is off. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H refers to the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H to determine whether or not the auxiliary game symbol changing flag is off. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the auxiliary gaming symbol holding means MJ32-H accesses the auxiliary gaming symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-H and determines whether or not there is a holding ball related to the auxiliary gaming symbol. . In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1216, the auxiliary gaming symbol determination means MN41-H refers to the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H to determine the auxiliary gaming side gaming state (flag state of the auxiliary gaming short time flag). In addition to the acquisition, the auxiliary game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-H is referred to, and the stop symbol is determined based on the acquired auxiliary game side game state and the auxiliary game symbol random number based on the reserved ball (for example, the auxiliary game short time flag Is selected, the winning symbol is selected with a higher probability than in the case of being off) and temporarily stored in the auxiliary game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-H. Next, in step 1218, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H sends the auxiliary game symbol change management timer MP11t-C to the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer MP11t-C based on the auxiliary game side game state (the flag state of the auxiliary game short time flag). A predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds when the auxiliary game short flag is on, and 30 seconds when the auxiliary game short flag is off) related to the variable time is set. In step 1220, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H turns on the auxiliary game symbol changing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H. Next, in step 1222, the auxiliary gaming symbol holding means MJ32-H updates the holding information recorded in the auxiliary gaming symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-H after subtracting 1 from the holding ball related to the auxiliary gaming symbol. At the same time, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H starts the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer MP11t-H, and then starts the auxiliary game symbol variation display on the auxiliary game symbol display section H21g.

  Next, at step 1224, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H refers to the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer MP11t-C to determine whether or not a predetermined time related to the variation time of the auxiliary game symbol has been reached. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1224, in step 1226, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H refers to the auxiliary game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-H to acquire the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol, and the acquired auxiliary The stop symbol of the game symbol is confirmed and displayed on the auxiliary game symbol display portion H21g. In step 1228, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H turns off the auxiliary game symbol changing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H. Next, in step 1230, the second main game start opening electric accessory opening / closing condition determining means MP21-B determines whether or not the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol is “winning”. In the case of Yes in Step 1230, in Step 1232, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B determines the second main game based on the game state on the auxiliary game side (the flag state of the auxiliary game short time flag). A predetermined time (for example, 6 seconds when the auxiliary game short time flag is on, 0.5 seconds when the auxiliary game short time flag is off, and the predetermined time related to the opening time of the electric character in the start opening electric member release timer MP22t-B. Second). Next, in step 1234, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B turns on the electric accessory releasing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H. . Then, in step 1236, the second main game start port electric combination opening / closing control means MP20-B opens the second main game start port electric combination B11d. Next, in step 1238, the second main game start port electric player opening / closing control means MP20-B refers to the second main game start port electric player opening timer MP22t-B, and determines the electric player's opening time. It is determined whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1238, in step 1240 and step 1242, the second main game start port electric combination opening / closing control means MP20-B closes the second main game start port electric combination B11d and temporarily turns the auxiliary game state temporarily. The open flag of the electric accessory in the flag area of the storage means MB10-H is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1300).

  If NO in step 1202, the process proceeds to step 1238. If NO in step 1204, the process proceeds to step 1224. If NO in step 1206, step 1224, step 1230, or step 1238, the next process is performed. The process proceeds to (Step 1300).

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

  Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of main game content determination random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. First, in step 1302, the first main game start entrance entering determination means MJ11-A receives the first main game start entrance entrance information from the first main game start entrance entrance detection device A11s of the first main game start entrance A10. Is received. In the case of Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the first main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-A refers to the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-A and determines the main game (especially the first main game). It is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls related to the “side” is not the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1304, in step 1306, the first main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-A acquires the first main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the first main game content determination random number, a winning lottery random number for determining whether or not to win, a symbol lottery random number for determining a winning symbol, and a variation pattern (variation time) of a special symbol are determined. The three random numbers of the variation mode lottery random numbers to acquire are acquired. Incidentally, these three random numbers are generated from random number generation means having different update periods and random number ranges, and are obtained in series at this timing. Next, in step 1308, the first main game symbol holding means MJ32-A temporarily stores (holds) the acquired first main game content determination random number in the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-A. . Next, in step 1310, the hold control means MJ30 sends a command transmission buffer for transmitting information indicating that the first main game random number has been acquired (first main game hold occurrence command) to the sub-main control unit SM. Set to MT10 (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999), and the process proceeds to step 1312. Note that if the answer is No in step 1302 or step 1304, the process proceeds to step 1312.

  Next, in step 1312, the second main game start entrance ball judging means MJ11-B enters the second main game start entrance ball from the second main game start entrance entrance detection device B11s of the second main game start entrance B10. It is determined whether or not information has been received. In the case of Yes in step 1312, in step 1314, the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-B refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-B and determines the main game (especially the second main game). It is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls related to the “side” is not the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1314, in step 1316, the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-B acquires the second main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the second main game content determination random number, three random numbers of the success / failure lottery random number, the symbol lottery random number, and the variation mode lottery random number are acquired as in the first main game content determination means. Incidentally, the acquisition range of each random number of the first main game content determination random number and the acquisition range of each random number of the second main game content determination random number (for example, the first lottery random number for the first main game and the right lottery random number for the second main game) Are set to the same range. Next, in step 1318, the second main game symbol holding means MJ32-B temporarily stores (holds) the acquired second main game content determination random number in the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-B. . Next, in step 1320, the hold control means MJ30 sends a command transmission buffer for transmitting information indicating that the second main game random number has been acquired (second main game hold occurrence command) to the sub-main control unit SM. It is set in MT10 (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process in step 1999), and the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1400). Note that the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1400) also in the case of No in step 1312 or step 1314.

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

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. First, in step 1401, the hold digest control means MJ31 refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-B and confirms whether there is no hold of the second main game symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1401, in step 1400 (1), the game content determination means MN executes a first main game symbol display process described later, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1500). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1401, in step 1400 (2), the game content determination means MN executes a second main game symbol display process described later, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1500).

  Thus, in the present embodiment, when there is a holding ball of the second main game symbol, regardless of the presence of the holding ball of the first main game symbol (even if the winning order is the holding of the first main game symbol) However, this is not limited to this, but it is not limited to this (the pending digest based on the winning order and both main game symbols are simultaneously executed in parallel). It may be configured to execute a parallel lottery for lottery.

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the first main game symbol display process (second main game symbol display process) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} in FIG. In addition, since this process is substantially the same process on the first main game symbol side and the second main game symbol side, the first main game symbol side will be mainly described, and the processing on the second main game symbol side will be described. Use parentheses. First, in step 1403, the pending digest control means MJ31 determines whether or not a change start condition is satisfied. Here, the change start condition is that the special game is not being played (or the condition device is being operated), the main game symbol is not changing, and there is a hold of the main game symbol. Although not shown in this example, in the case of providing a variable fixed time (time for displaying the fixed display symbol after the main game symbol is displayed), during the variable fixed time, You may comprise so that it may not satisfy | fill.

  In the case of Yes in step 1403, in steps 1405 and 1406, the hold digest control means MJ31 stores the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-A (second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-B). The first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) related to the current symbol variation that is temporarily stored is read and the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-A (second main game) The information is deleted from the symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-B) and the remaining information temporarily stored is shifted (holding digestion process). Next, at step 1410-1, the success / failure lottery means MN10 refers to the first main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-A (second main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-B) corresponding to each gaming state. Based on 1 main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, a winning lottery random number), a main game symbol winning lottery is executed.

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 1) is an example of a first main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-A (second main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-B). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, the jackpot winning probability in the probability varying gaming state is configured to be higher than the jackpot winning probability in the non-stochastic varying gaming state. Note that the winning probability is merely an example, and is not limited to this. Further, in the present embodiment, the hit (so-called small hit) where the gaming state cannot be changed is not illustrated, but a small hit may be generated (winning for the small hit). Also, when configured in this way, for example, (1) the winning probability per small portion is different between the first main game side and the second main game side, the first main game side is more than the second main game side Is easy to win (the second main game side does not have to provide a small hit), (2) When winning a small hit, the gaming state after the small hit is the same as the gaming state before the small hit (If the big hit is won, the gaming state after the big hit ends may be different from the gaming state before the big hit starts), (3) The big win is the first main game side and the second main game side The winning probabilities are the same and the winning probability is increased by entering the probability variation gaming state, whereas the winning probabilities are different between the first main game side and the second main game side. The winning probability is not changed by obtaining and changing to a probability-variable gaming state. (4) As a stop symbol of the decorative symbol for the selected symbol variation, a special symbol (eg “★★★”, “★★★”, etc., that corresponds to “★★★”, etc.), which is exclusive to the small win, will stop) (5) As a stop pattern of the decorative pattern of the symbol variation won per small win, a specific outcome (for example, “a combination of numbers having a certain regularity and not a set of three identical symbols”). 234 ", reverse order such as" 432 ", or odd order such as" 357 ", etc.) can stop. (6) Similar to small hits (or similar) It is a big hit (2R or more, the number of rounds is different, but it looks like the same open mode when viewed from the player (the small hit is only one round, The grand prize opening is opened several times in one round, and the big hit is opened the same number of times as the multiple times. (Executed within a plurality of rounds)} (in such a configuration, it is preferable to stop and display a combination of decorative symbols that are difficult for the player to distinguish whether the game is a small hit or a big hit) (8) In the second decorative symbol, the “special symbol” dedicated to small hits does not stop (or may not stop). Even in the configuration in which the combination is stopped and displayed, the ratio of whether it is a small hit or a big hit differs depending on the type of combination of decorative symbols that the player is difficult to distinguish (for example, by combining three, In the case where the decorative symbol that is deterministic to shift to the probability variation gaming state is included in the stop symbol, the probability that it is a big hit is higher than in the case where it is not included).

  Next, in step 1410-2, the first main game symbol determining means MN41-A (second main game symbol determining means MN41-B) makes the first main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-A (second main game). With reference to the symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-B), the main game symbol is determined based on the main game symbol determination lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, the symbol lottery random number). Stop symbols are determined, and these are temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C.

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 2) is an example of a first main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-A (second main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-B). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, when a big hit is won, a plurality of main game symbol candidates (in this example, “4A, 5A, 7A” and “4B, 5B, 7B”) are selected. One main game symbol is configured to be determined as a jackpot symbol. Note that the number of rounds of special games determined with reference to the main game symbol is 4R for 4A and 5A, 8R for 4B and 5B, and 16R for 7A and 7B. Note that the types of random numbers and stop symbols are only examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. {For example, a lose symbol is not limited to one type of symbol, and a plurality of types of symbols may be provided. When the specific symbol is stopped and displayed, the state and the selection rate of the variation mode and / or the selection rate of the main game symbol are different from those before the specific symbol is stopped and displayed (limited frequency state). May be configured to migrate}.

  Next, in Step 1410-3, the first main game variation mode determination means MN51-A (second main game variation mode determination means MN51-B) draws the first main game variation mode determination lottery corresponding to each game state. Refer to the table MN51ta-A (the second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B), the main game symbol determination lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (especially the variation The main game symbol variation mode is determined based on the mode lottery random number), temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the process proceeds to step 1414.

  Here, FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 (main game table 3) are examples of the first main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A (second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, both the first main game side and the second main game side are based on the main game symbol winning / losing lottery result, the main game short flag state, and the number of reserves at the start of change, The variation mode (variation time) of the main game symbol is determined. That is, when the main game symbol winning / losing lottery result is a win, it is easy to determine a variation mode in which the variation time is relatively long, and when the main game short flag is on (relative to the short game state) The variation mode in which the variation time is short is easily determined, and the variation mode in which the variation time is relatively short when the number of reservations is 2 to 3 compared to the case where the number of reservations is 0 to 1 Is easily determined (only when lost). This example is merely an example, and is not limited to the type of stop symbol, the selection rate, or the like. Further, the symbol variation time on the first main game side in the time-reduced game state (when the main game short-time flag is on) may be configured to be relatively long {the symbol variation on the second main game side Is configured to be advantageous for the player, it is easy for the second main game side to be suspended by reducing the symbol variation efficiency on the first main game side (advantageous for the player). It is particularly effective when the starting port on the first main game side and the starting port on the second main game side cannot be distinguished in order to establish the situation. An example of the effect executed when each variation mode is selected is shown in “effect mode executed on the sub side”. In addition, as an effect mode executed on the sub side, a pseudo continuous variation described later (an effect in which it appears that a plurality of symbol variations are generated during one variation display of the main game symbol) is executed. It is possible to provide a “pseudo-continuous failure effect” which is an effect of notifying that the pseudo continuous variation is not executed after telling the player whether or not, and in such a case, for example, at the time of losing and the same In the gaming state, the random number distribution (execution frequency) of “pseudo-continuous failure production → losing out-of-game” is greater when the number of holds is 0 to 1 than when the number of holds is 2-3. (Any non-time-reduced gaming state or time-reduced gaming state may be configured as such.) In addition, when the “pseudo continuous success effect” is executed, Whether or not the change is executed It may be configured to notify that the pseudo-continuous variation is performed after the Tsu. In addition, the “pseudo-continuous failure effect” and the “pseudo-continuous success effect” are effects using “special symbols” or a specific event, which will be described later. For example, when the “pseudo-continuous failure effect” is executed, After asking the player whether or not the “special symbol” temporarily stops in the middle row, the decorative symbol one frame after the “special symbol” stops (temporarily stops) in the middle row, and the “pseudo-successful directing” When executed, after the player is asked whether or not the “special symbol” temporarily stops in the middle row, the “special symbol” stops (temporarily stops) in the middle row. Yes. Further, in order to cause the second main game hold to occur during the fluctuation of the first main game symbol in the time shortening game state which is an irregular symbol variation, the first main game symbol relating to the loss in the time reduction game state The contents of the variation mode determination table may be configured so that a short-term variation mode is not selected regardless of the number of holds (for example, the variation time is all 5 seconds or more). The number of holds shown in the figure is not the total number of the first main game hold and the second main game hold, but is the first main game change mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A. In the case of the second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B, it is the second main game hold number.

  Next, in step 1414, the game content determination means MN sends the symbol variation display start instruction command (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information) temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C. The information related to the determined main game symbol such as the variation mode information and the command related to the current gaming state) is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit SM side (control command transmission in step 1999) (Sent to the sub-main control unit SM side by processing). Next, in step 1416, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C sets a predetermined time related to the main game symbol variation time in the first and second main game symbol variation management timer MP11t-C. To do. Next, in step 1417, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C causes the first main game symbol display unit A21g (first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20)). On the second main game symbol display unit B21g), the main game symbol variation display is started in accordance with the variation mode stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C. Next, in step 1418, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C turns on the changing flag in the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C, Control goes to step 1420.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1403, in step 1419, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C refers to the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C and changes. It is determined whether or not the middle flag is on. If Yes in step 1419, the process proceeds to step 1420. If No in step 1419, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1500).

  Next, in step 1420, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C determines whether or not a predetermined time related to the variation time of the main game symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1420, in step 1422, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C sends information indicating that the symbol variation has ended (the symbol confirmation display instruction command) to the sub main control unit SM side. It is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process in step 1999). Next, in step 1423, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C causes the first main game symbol display unit A21g of the first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20) ( The change display of the main game symbol on the second main game symbol display part B21g) is stopped, and the stop symbols stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C are displayed as the fixed stop symbols. Control. Next, in step 1428, the first / second main game symbol control means MP11-C turns off the changing flag in the flag area of the first / second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C. .

  Next, at step 1430, the game content determination means MN refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C and determines whether or not the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a big hit symbol. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1430, in step 1432, the game content determination means MN turns on the condition device operation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. On the other hand, if No at step 1430, step 1432 is skipped.

  Next, at step 1450, the specific game control means MP50 executes a specific game end determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1500). Even in the case of No in step 1420, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of specific game end determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1450 in FIG. First, at step 1452, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b and determines whether or not the main game probability change flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1470, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the value of the time reduction counter MP52c and determines whether or not the counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1470, in step 1472, the specific game control means MP50 decrements (decrements) the counter value of the time reduction counter MP52c. Next, in step 1474, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the value of the time reduction counter MP52c and determines whether or not the counter value (remaining time reduction count) is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1474, in step 1476 and step 1478, the specific game control means MP50 turns off the main game short time flag and the auxiliary game short time flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. (Step 1500). In addition, also in the case of No in step 1452, step 1470, or step 1474, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the special game operation condition determination process according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the condition determination means MP31 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the condition device operation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1514, the special game control means MP30 determines the specific game flag (main game probability change flag / main game short flag / auxiliary game short time) in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Flag) off. Next, in step 1518, the specific game control means MP50 clears the value of the time reduction counter MP52c. Next, in step 1520, the special game control means MP30 turns on a special game transition permission flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1522, the special game control means MP30 turns off the condition device operation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 1600). In the case of No in step 1502, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in step 1604 and step 1606, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the special game transition permission flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and the special game execution flag. Turn on. Next, in step 1607, the special game execution means MP33 sets an initial value (1 in this example) to a round number counter (not shown) in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1608, the special game executing means MP33 sets information (special game start display instruction command) to start the special game in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit side ( The control command is transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM in the control command transmission process of step 1999), and the process proceeds to step 1612.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1602, in step 1610, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 1610, the process proceeds to step 1612. In the case of No in step 1610, the special game execution means MP33 determines that the special game permission has not been granted, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1997).

  Next, in step 1612, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b to determine whether the round continuation flag is off, in other words, immediately before the start of each round. It is determined whether or not there is. In the case of Yes in step 1612, that is, immediately before the start of each round, first, in step 1614, the special game execution means MP33 sets the release pattern in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1616, the special game executing means MP33 clears the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c to zero. Next, in step 1618, the special game execution means MP33 turns on the round continuation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1620, the special game executing means MP33 drives the first big prize opening electric combination C11d (or the second big prize opening electric combination C21d) of the first big prize opening C10 to make the first big prize winning. The mouth C10 (or the second grand prize opening C20) is opened, the special game timer MP34t (particularly, the opening time timer) is set to a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds), and the process starts. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1612, that is, when the big prize opening is being opened, the process proceeds to step 1622 without performing the processing of steps 1614 to 1620.

  Next, in step 1622, the special game executing means MP33 transmits a game state command (for example, the current round number, game ball winning number, etc.) related to the current special game to the sub main control unit SM side. Is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM in the control command transmission process of step 1999). Next, in step 1624, the special game executing means MP33 refers to the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c, and a predetermined number (for example, 10) is assigned to the first big winning opening C10 (or the second big winning opening C20) in the round. It is determined whether or not there is a winning ball. If Yes in step 1624, the process proceeds to step 1628. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1624, in step 1626, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game timer MP34t (especially the open time timer) to determine a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) related to the special prize opening. It is determined whether or not it has elapsed. Also in the case of Yes in step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1628. In the case of No in step 1626, the processing proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 1997).

  Next, in step 1628, the special game executing means MP33 determines the first big prize opening electric combination C11d of the first big prize opening C10 (or the second big prize opening electric combination C21d of the second big prize opening C20). The driving is stopped and the first grand prize opening C10 (or the second big prize opening C20) is closed. Next, in step 1630, the special game execution means MP33 resets a special game timer MP34t (especially an opening time timer). Next, in step 1632, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the round continuation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1633, the special game execution means MP33 adds 1 to the counter value of the round number counter (not shown) in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1634, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the final round has ended (for example, the round number counter in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b). Whether or not the counter value (not shown) exceeds the maximum number of rounds). In the case of Yes in step 1634, in step 1636, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the special game execution flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1638, the special game executing means MP33 sets information (special game end display instruction command) to end the special game in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub main control unit SM side. (Sent to the sub-main control unit SM in the control command transmission process of step 1999). In step 1650, the specific game control means MP50 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1997). Even in the case of No in step 1634, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1997).

  Next, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the game state determination processing after the special game according to the subroutine of step 1650 in FIG. First, in step 1652, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the stop symbol is a probable big hit symbol (after the execution of the special game is finished, the probability variation game state is reached). It is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol to be transferred is 5A, 5B, 7A, 7B) in this example. In the case of Yes in step 1652, in step 1654, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game probability change flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and proceeds to step 1658. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1652, that is, in the case where the stop symbol is an uncertain change big hit symbol (a big hit symbol that does not shift to the probability variation gaming state after the execution of the special game, 4A / 4B in this example), step 1656 Thus, the specific game control means MP50 sets a predetermined number of times (100 in this example) to the counter value of the time reduction number counter MP52c, and proceeds to step 1658.

  Next, in step 1658 and step 1660, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game short time flag and the auxiliary game short time flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and performs the next processing (step 1997).

  Next, control processing executed on the sub-main control unit SM side will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 18 is a main flowchart on the sub-control board S side (particularly on the sub-main control unit SM side) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. Here, the process of FIG. 9A is a process on the sub-main control unit SM side that is executed after resetting when the gaming machine is powered on. That is, at the time of powering on the gaming machine, in step 2002, the sub-main control unit SM executes an initial process based on the information received from the main side (main control board M side) (for example, RAM clear information is stored). If received, the sub-side RAM is initialized, various information commands are received, and the production-related information at the time of power interruption is reset in the sub-side RAM). Next, in step 2003, the sub-main control unit SM restores the number of holds (for example, the drawing hold counter value) based on the information received from the main side (main control board M side). Note that the performance or the like being executed is not restored, and the “preparing” screen is displayed until the start of the next change. Thereafter, the process proceeds to a loop process for repeatedly executing (b) which is a repetitive process routine of the sub-main control unit SM. Here, when (b) is executed, as shown in the process of (b) of the figure, first, in step 2100, the secondary game control means (sub-main control unit) SM performs a hold information management process to be described later. Execute. Next, in step 2200, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a decorative symbol display content determination process described later. Next, in step 2300, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a first decorative symbol display control process to be described later. Next, in step 2350, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a second decorative symbol display control process described later. Next, at step 2400, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a special game related display control process which will be described later. Next, in step 2500, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a background effect control process described later. Next, in step 2999, the sub game control means (sub-main control unit) SM executes display command transmission control processing (transmits commands set in a series of these subroutines to the sub-sub control unit SS side). The repetition processing routine is terminated.

  As described above, the sub-main control unit SM employs a form in which the sub-main routine (S2100 to S2999) is loop-processed after reset. Further, the process of FIG. 5C is an interrupt process of the sub main control unit SM, and the signal from the STB signal line on the main control board M described above is a terminal of the CPU of the sub main control unit SM (in this example). , NMI terminal) is a processing flow (c). That is, when an NMI interrupt occurs in the CPU of the sub main control unit SM (when the STB signal line is turned on), in step 2004, the sub main control unit SM receives the command input port (from the main control board M side). Check the data signal line input port). In step 2006, the sub main control unit SM sends the command transmitted from the main control board M side to the RAM (eg, main side information temporary storage means SM11b) on the sub main control unit SM side based on the confirmation result. Is temporarily stored, and the process that was being executed immediately before this interrupt process is restored.

  Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the hold information management process according to the subroutine of step 2100 in FIG. First, in step 2102, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b, and from the main control board M side, a command (first main game symbol or second main game symbol) related to the new hold occurrence. It is determined whether or not (holding information relating to a game symbol) has been received. In the case of Yes in step 2102, in step 2104, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 displays the drawing hold counter in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b (in this example, a maximum of four for the first main game, Add “1” to the maximum number of second main games. Next, in step 2106, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 is based on the hold occurrence command transmitted from the main control board M side, and holds the hold information (in particular, the random value and hold prefetch group information related to the main game symbol lottery). ) Is temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the process proceeds to Step 2118.

  On the other hand, if No in Step 2102, has the drawing hold information display control means SM 22 received the symbol variation display start instruction command from the main control board M side with reference to the main side information temporary storage means SM 11 b in Step 2111? Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2111, in step 2112, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 subtracts “1” from the drawing hold counter in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Next, in step 2114, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 deletes the hold information related to the symbol variation (particularly, the random value related to the main game symbol lottery) from the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. , Shift the remaining pending information. Next, in step 2116, the drawing suspension information display control means SM22 turns on the symbol content determination permission flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and proceeds to step 2118. Note that if the result is No in Step 2111, the process also goes to Step 2118.

  Next, in step 2118, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 makes full use of the effect display means SS on the effect display device SG (in particular, the first hold display portion SG12 and the second hold display portion SG13). The same number of hold display lamps as the drawing hold counter value in the figure hold information temporary storage means SM22b are turned on, and the process proceeds to the next process (step 2200).

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of step 2200 in FIG. First, in step 2202, the drawing display content determination means SM21n refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the symbol content determination permission flag is on. If Yes in step 2202, in step 2204, the drawing display content determination means SM21n turns off the symbol content determination permission flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2206, the design display content determining means SM21n (and the notice effect display content determining means SM24n, the reach effect display content determining means SM25n) are temporarily stored in the main information temporary storage means SM11b (symbol information ( With reference to the stop symbol / variation mode related to the main game symbol and the drawing variation content determination lottery table SM21ta, the first decorative symbol (as described above, displayed based on the information from the main control board M side) Controlled so-called decorative symbols, the details of the display size and operation contents will be described later) (for example, when the stop symbol related to the main game symbol is a big hit symbol, "7-7. 7 ”etc., when the number is a flat or a lost symbol,“ 1 ・ 3 ・ 5 ”etc., and the variation mode {for example, the variation related to the main game symbol If it is a short-term fluctuation, non-reach, if it is a long-term fluctuation, normal reach, super reach, etc.} is determined and the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b (and the notice effect related information temporary storage means) SM24b, reach effect related information temporary storage means SM25b). Here, in the present embodiment, the first decorative symbols are composed of three columns of the left column, the middle column, and the right column, and an effective line (a line on which the result of success / failure can be notified by arranging three numeric symbols). ) Is one line, meaning that if the same numeric symbol is aligned on the effective line, it means a big hit (conversely, if the same numeric symbol is not aligned on the effective line, it will be lost). In addition, in the left column, middle column, and right column (or only in the middle column), a “special symbol” in addition to a numeric symbol (it does not mean a big hit when displayed on the active line, but after that a big hit The display size and the details of the operation will be described later), and the numerical design can also be temporarily stopped in the middle of symbol variation. Has been. The temporary stop means that the decorative symbols of all the rows are temporarily stopped during the period from the start of the variable display of the main game symbol to the stop display. This means a state in which the variable display can be started again during the period (hereinafter, used in the same meaning). Although the details will be described later, the “special symbol” in the pseudo continuous fluctuation may not be included in the stop mode that can be temporarily stopped (provisionally stopped), does not stop fixedly, and notifies the big hit. The “special symbol” at the time of execution of the pre-reading effect is configured so as to be temporarily stopped (provisionally stopped), fixedly stopped, and not included in the stop mode for notifying the big hit. .

  Next, in step 2208, the design display content determination means SM21n (and the notice effect display content determination means SM24n, the reach effect display content determination means SM25n) are temporarily stored in the main information temporary storage means SM11b (symbol information ( Reference control based on information from the main control board M side as described above with reference to the stop symbol / variation mode related to the main game symbol and the drawing variation content determination lottery table SM21ta Is a so-called decorative symbol whose details of display size and operation will be described later) (for example, when the symbol relating to the main game is a jackpot symbol, “7. ”, Etc., in the case of a losing symbol or a lost symbol, a numerical variation such as“ 1, 3, 5 ”, etc.} and a variation mode {for example, a variation state related to a main game symbol Is a non-reach and if it is a long-term change, it determines normal reach, super reach, etc.} and displays the display display related information temporary storage means SM21b (and the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b). , Temporarily store in reach effect related information temporary storage means SM25b). Here, in the present embodiment, the second decorative symbol is composed of three columns of the left column, the middle column, and the right column, and one effective line (a line in which it is effective to arrange the same numeric symbols) is one line. If the same number design is aligned on the effective line, it means a big hit (conversely, if the same number design is not aligned on the effective line, it will be lost). Further, only the numeric symbols can be stopped in the left column, the middle column, and the right column (the “special symbol” does not stop like the first decorative symbol), and the temporary column is not temporarily stopped during the symbol variation. . As described above, the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are configured to independently determine display contents for notifying whether or not the main game symbol is true, that is, the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are determined. The decorative symbol has a property that both parties can notify the result of the main game symbol independently as a basic property.

  Next, in step 2216, the drawing display content determination means SM21n determines whether the main game symbol is temporarily stored in the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b and the decoration result (first decoration symbol and second decoration symbol). Based on the variation mode, the decorative design effect content is determined with reference to the decorative design effect table SM21ta-2 (for example, the decorative design effect table 1 to the decorative design effect table 2) in the drawing change content determination lottery table SM21ta, The display update timing and display update contents are set, and temporarily stored in the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2218, the drawing display content determination means SM21n turns on the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 2300). Transition. Note that, also in the case of No in step 2202, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2300).

  In the above description, the main game symbol whose display is controlled on the main control board M side is the first main game side (first main game symbol) or the second main game side ( Although it is not mentioned whether it is the second main game symbol), basically, the display contents of both the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are determined in correspondence with the first main game symbol. Alternatively, the display contents of both the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol may be determined in correspondence with the second main gaming symbol, that is, the variation display of the first main gaming symbol and the second main gaming symbol. Regardless of which of the variable display is performed, the variable display of both the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol may be executed in conjunction with it. However, this is not limited to the time-reduced gaming state (a state accompanied by a so-called electric support state). Regardless of which of the displays is performed, it is possible to exemplify that only one of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol is set in a state in which the variable display can be executed in conjunction with the display.

  Here, FIG. 21 and FIG. 22 (decorative design effect table 1, decorative design effect table 2) are the decorative design effect table SM21ta-2 (decorative design effect table 1, particularly when the result is a loss, And, it is an example of the decorative design effect table 2, in particular, a part of the case where the success / failure result is a big hit. In the drawing, the first decorative design may be simply described as the first decorative design, and the second decorative design may be described as the second decorative design (the same applies hereinafter). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, the result of the main game symbol (shown in the leftmost column, in this example, “losing” or “big hit”) and the decorative symbol (first decorative symbol) And the second decorative symbol) are shown in the second column on the left. In this example, only in the case of “pseudo continuous failure (total production time 30 seconds)” and “super reach (total production time 60 seconds)”. Example) and the obtained random number value (the random value obtained on the sub-main board SM side, a part of the random value is shown in the third column on the left) and the decorative design effect content (the fourth column on the left) In this example, “main effect A-1 (losing) pseudo-ream 1” and “main effect B-1 (big hit) pseudo-ream” etc.) can be determined. When the decoration symbol effect content is determined, “display update timing” and “display update content” can be uniquely determined. For example, if the decoration design effect content = “A-1 (losing) pseudo-ream 1”, “display update content” = “device update timing” at “display update timing” = “at the start of change (after 0 seconds)” The figure change start (all columns of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol) is determined, and “display update timing” = “12 seconds after start of change” “display update content” = “first figure temporary stop display” (Left column), “second display hidden” is determined. Then, as will be described later, the “display update content” that has reached the “display update timing” corresponds to the first decorative symbol according to the elapsed time related to the variation time of the decorative symbol (the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol). This is sequentially executed for each of the second decorative symbols. That is, when “A-1 (losing) pseudo-ream 1” is determined, all the columns of the first decorative symbol and all the columns of the second decorative symbol are variably displayed, and then “display update timing” = “variation start” If the display is controlled so that all the columns are hidden (even if they are displayed in a fluctuating manner) until the time “12 seconds later” is reached, the second decorative symbol is When the display control is performed so that all the columns are variably displayed (the state of the variably displayed can be visually recognized) and “display update timing” = “12 seconds after the start of variation” is reached, the first decorative symbol is displayed. For the second decorative symbol, the display control is performed so that only the left column is stopped, while the second decorative symbol is not displayed (the state of the variable display is not displayed). . As described above, the basic operation in the example of this example is that when the first decorative symbol is visible to the player (easily visible), the second decorative symbol is directed to the player. If the first decorative symbol is invisible to the player (difficult to see) while being invisible (difficult to see), the second decorative symbol is visible to the player ( In order to ensure that the player is notified that the symbol is changing, the second decorative symbol is displayed in a complementary manner. It should be noted that the effect pattern (series of display contents) defined by “A-1 (losing) pseudo-ream 1” is different from the effect pattern defined by the name of other decorative design effect contents (that is, the display contents are different). ) To supplement that In addition, the range of the random number value is “0 to 1023” in all the variation modes, and this drawing excerpts a part of the random number range in the diagram variation mode. The random number range of the obtained random number value and the random number range of the acquired random value corresponding to the drawing variation mode different from the certain drawing variation mode are different from each other, but both are “0 to 1023”. Range).

  Here, in the present embodiment, so-called quasi-continuous variation can be executed. Specifically, the decorative design effect contents “A-1 (losing) quasi-continuation 1”, “A-2” in this example are configured. (Lost) pseudo-ream 2 "," B-2 (big hit) pseudo-ream 2 ". For example, in the decorative symbol effect content “A-2 (losing) pseudo-continuation 2”, “display update timing” = “start of change (after 0 seconds)”, “display update content” = “design change start (first) After “1st decoration pattern and all 2nd decoration symbols)” is executed, “display update timing” = “after 12 seconds from start of change”, “after 13 seconds from start of change”, “after 14 seconds from start of change” Display update content ”=“ first design temporary stop display (left column) ”(the left column of the first decorative symbol is the stop display),“ first design temporary stop display (right column) ”(the first decorative symbol of the first decorative symbol) The right column is the stop display), and the “first design special symbol temporary stop display” (the middle column of the first decorative symbol is the stop display at the above-mentioned “special symbol”) is sequentially executed. After that, when “display update timing” = “15 seconds after the start of change”, “display update content” = “first figure change start (all rows)” (only the first decorative symbols are changed and displayed again) After execution, “display update timing” = “change start 26 seconds”, “change start 27 seconds”, “change start 28 seconds”, “display update content” = “first equipment temporary stop display ( (Left column) ”(the left column of the first decorative symbol is displayed as a stop),“ First display temporary stop display (right column) ”(the right column of the first decorative symbol is displayed as a stop),“ Special symbol of the first component ” By sequentially executing “temporary stop display” (the middle display of the first decorative symbol is the “special symbol” described above), the player can perform the first display during the one-time variation display of the main game symbol. For one decorative symbol, it appears that the symbol variation has occurred multiple times (this pseudo continuous And how the dynamic is being performed, how the "special symbols" are stopped and displayed, see an image view of FIG. 40).

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the first decorative symbol is not displayed (the state where the stop display / variation display is not displayed) and the middle row of the first decorative symbol is the above-mentioned “special symbol”. The second decorative design is variably displayed when temporarily stopped, and the second decorative design is not displayed in other cases. That is, when the player can visually recognize the first decorative symbol, or when it is possible to determine which symbol is stopped as the first decorative symbol, the second decorative symbol is not displayed (the first decorative symbol is displayed). If the player cannot visually recognize the first decorative symbol or cannot determine which symbol is stopped as the first decorative symbol {for example, When the “special symbol” is stopped and the numbers in the middle row (or all rows) cannot be determined}, the second decorative symbol is displayed in a variable manner so that the player can always The decorative design (either the first decorative design or the second decorative design) can be visually recognized, and the progress of the game is easily grasped. In the present embodiment, the second decorative symbol is configured so that the “special symbol” is not temporarily stopped. However, this is not interesting for the first decorative symbol, but it is difficult to grasp the progress of the game. As the second decorative symbol provided to ensure that the progress of the game is easy to grasp, the “special symbol” (that is, the big hit when displayed on the active line) This is because, although it does not mean, after that, it is configured not to display a symbol that may make it difficult to grasp the progress of the game, such as a symbol predicting that a big hit may occur. In the case of the above-mentioned “non-display” (including both the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol), a state in which the image is displayed at high speed (a changed state in which an afterimage can be seen) may be included. In the case of the “display” (including both the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol), the display is changing at a low speed (in the case of a display mode changing from top to bottom, slowly from above) And (temporary) a changing state toward the planned stop position) may be included.

  In the present embodiment, the second decorative symbol is configured not to temporarily stop in the middle of the change (and the “special symbol” does not stop), but the present invention is not limited to this, and the second decorative symbol is also configured. Similarly to the first decorative design, it may be configured such that it can be temporarily stopped in the middle of the fluctuation (and a pseudo fluctuation can occur). That is, in such a configuration, all the columns of the first decorative symbol and all the columns of the second decorative symbol have substantially the same operation contents of the change display and the stop display (including the temporary stop), and are stopped and displayed. It will be configured so that the types of symbols to be different.

  The second decorative symbol need not always be displayed during the main game symbol variation display, and the display condition and display mode of the second decorative symbol may be appropriately changed. For example, (1) a specific effect is being generated (instead of making the first decorative symbol invisible, an effect is such that a movie moving image is reproduced using the entire display area on the effect display device SG, or a so-called effect) The second decorative symbol is displayed when the movable accessory for use advances to a state of covering the display area on the effect display device SG), (2) At the time of a specific reach effect (the first Instead of making one decorative symbol invisible, it is at the time of execution of a reach effect in which the expectation of jackpot rises remarkably. For example, the display content of the effect performed on the effect display device SG is forcibly paused. The second decorative symbol is displayed only when the so-called freeze reach effect is performed, and the second decorative symbol is not displayed in other reach effects (particularly when the reach effect having a low jackpot expectation is performed). ) Different appearance positions of the second decorative symbols on the effect display device SG in accordance with the effect pattern (for example, the above-described effect movable accessory advances into a state of covering the display area on the effect display device SG) In the case of an effect, the display is moved to a display area on the effect display device SG that is not covered by the effectable movable accessory), and (4) movement / reduction / enlargement display can be executed for the first decorative symbol. On the other hand, the second decorative symbol cannot be moved / reduced / enlarged, or the probability of moving / reducing / enlarged display, the movement width, the reduction rate, the enlargement rate, etc. are higher than those of the first decorative symbol. May be low.

  Next, FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the first decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2300 in FIG. First, in step 2302, the decorative design display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the design display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the design content determination flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2302, in step 2304, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns off the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2306, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns on the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2309, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 starts the first figure variation time management timer SM21t-1, and proceeds to step 2310. In the case of No in step 2302, the process proceeds to step 2310.

  Next, in step 2310, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the symbol changing flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2310, in step 2312, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 confirms the timer value of the first design variation time management timer SM21t-1. Next, in step 2314, the decorative design display control means SM21 determines the first decoration based on the first design change time management timer SM21t-1 and the change mode temporarily stored in the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. It is determined whether or not the symbol variation start timing has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2314, in step 2316, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets the first decorative symbol variable display command (transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2999). ) And the process proceeds to Step 2330.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2314, in step 2318, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 displays the variation mode temporarily stored in the first drawing variation time management timer SM21t-1 and the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Based on the above, it is determined whether or not the stop display timing (temporary stop display timing) of the first decorative symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2318, in step 2320, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not it is the above-mentioned “special symbol” stop timing ( In this example, the “special symbol” is configured to temporarily stop only the middle symbol). In the case of Yes in step 2320, in step 2322, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 informs that the angel zone flag (the jackpot expectation will be increased) in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. The flag that triggers the display of the background image is turned on, and the process proceeds to step 2324. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 2320, the process proceeds to step 2324. Next, in step 2324, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets the first decorative symbol stop display command (temporary stop display command) (transmits to the sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2999). The process proceeds to step 2330. In the present embodiment, the “angel zone background” is displayed as a background effect when the angel zone flag is turned on, but the timing at which the angel zone flag is turned on is, for example, (1) During symbol fluctuations with relatively high jackpot expectation (for example, symbol fluctuations that reach reach), (2) When symbol fluctuations related to suspension scheduled to be digested prior to symbol fluctuations with high jackpot expectation, Etc. In addition, as will be described in detail later, the “special symbol” that triggers the angel zone flag to turn on may be temporarily stopped in the case of (1) described above, or in the case of (2) described above. It may be confirmed and stopped.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2318, in step 2326, the notice effect display control means SM24 (and reach effect display control means SM25), the first equipment variation time management timer SM21t-1 and the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b. Based on the variation mode temporarily stored in (and reach effect related information temporary storage means SM25b), it is determined whether or not the display timing of the preview image and the reach image has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2326, in step 2328, the notice effect display control means SM24 (and the reach effect display control means SM25) set the image display command related to the notice image and the reach image (display command transmission control processing in step 2999). At step 2330, and the process proceeds to step 2330. Note that if the result is No in step 2326, the process proceeds to step 2330.

  Next, in step 2330, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and the first decorative symbol is normally displayed (as described above, the player visually recognizes the first decorative symbol). It is determined whether or not it is a case where it is possible to determine which symbol is stopped as the first decorative symbol and when the second decorative symbol is not displayed. In the case of Yes in step 2330, in step 2332, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets the second symbol display flag (with respect to the second decorative symbol in the non-display state) in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. ON = OFF or display state = ON) is turned off, and the process proceeds to Step 2336. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2330, in step 2334, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns on the second symbol display flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and proceeds to step 2336. .

  Next, in step 2336, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b to determine whether or not the main game symbol has been stopped (for example, main side information temporary storage means). Referring to SM11b, it is determined whether or not information indicating that the main game symbol is stopped and displayed is received from the main control board M side). In the case of Yes in step 2336, in step 2338, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets a stop display command (definite display command) of the first decorative symbol (sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2999). To be sent). Next, at step 2340, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 stops and resets (zero clears) the first figure variation time management timer SM21t-1. Next, in step 2342, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns off the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and proceeds to the next processing (step 2350 processing). To do. Note that if the answer is No in Step 2310 or Step 2336, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in Step 2350).

  In the present embodiment, the sub-main control unit SM uses the first design variation time management timer SM21t-1 to manage the timing related to the first decorative symbol variation display, the execution timing of the background effect, and the like. Although configured, the management method of the timing related to the variation of the first decorative symbol, the execution timing of the background effect, etc. is not limited to this, and the temporary stop of the first decorative symbol is performed in the decorative symbol display content determination process in step 2200 Timing, notice image / reach image display timing, background effect display timing (background effect display switching timing), etc. are all determined and transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS. The sub-sub control unit SS follows the received content. The presentation may be executed (displayed) at any time at the same timing (the same applies to the second decorative symbol).

  Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the second decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2350 in FIG. First, in step 2352, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the first symbol changing flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2352, in step 2354, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the second symbol display flag is on. . In the case of Yes in step 2354, in step 2356, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets a second decorative symbol variable display execution command (command for variable display of the second decorative symbol) (display command transmission in step 2999). Is transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS side in the control process), and the process proceeds to Step 2360. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2354, in step 2358, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets a variable display deletion command for the second decorative symbol (command for hiding the second decorative symbol) (in step 2999). And is transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process), and the process proceeds to Step 2360.

  Next, in step 2360, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the main game symbol has been stopped (for example, main side information temporary storage means). Referring to SM11b, it is determined whether or not information indicating that the main game symbol is stopped and displayed is received from the main control board M side). In the case of Yes in step 2360, in step 2362, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets the stop display command (definite display command) of the second decorative symbol (the sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process in step 2999). To be sent). Next, in step 2364, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns off the second symbol display flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2400). Transition. It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 2352 or step 2360, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2400).

  Here, the lower part of the figure is a decorative symbol display area image diagram. As shown in the figure, the first decorative symbol, the second decorative symbol, and the hold display (the hold relating to the first main game symbol and the hold relating to the second main game symbol may be displayed simultaneously) are effect display devices. In the present embodiment, the first decorative symbol is stopped and displayed at the final display timing (the timing at which the main game symbol is stopped and displayed). Since the first decorative symbol is the main decorative symbol, the first decorative symbol has higher visibility than the second decorative symbol (the displayed area is supposedly larger). In the present embodiment, the variation start timing and variation end timing (determined display timing) of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are the same timing.

  Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of the special game related display control process according to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. First, in step 2402, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b and determines whether or not the special game flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 2402, in step 2404, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not a special game start display instruction command has been received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2404, in step 2406 and step 2408, the background effect display control means SM23 turns on the special gaming flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and the effect display device. A big hit start display is performed on the SG (appropriate display is performed based on the type of the big hit), and the process proceeds to step 2412. Note that if the result in Step 2402 is No, the process proceeds to Step 2412.

  Next, in step 2412, the background effect display control means SM23 sequentially displays the number of rounds and the number of winnings on the effect display device SG based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main side (gameability and jackpots). It may be executed as needed based on the type).

  Next, in step 2413, the background effect display control means SM23 sets a command for displaying the effect related to the special game being executed based on the game state at the time of winning the big hit being won and the big hit symbol being stopped ( (For example, in the case of a special game related to the latent probability variation big hit symbol, the display command transmission control process of step 2999 will be shifted to the probability variable gaming state after the special game is finished.) An effect that the player cannot recognize is executed). Next, in step 2414, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not a special game end display instruction command has been received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2414, in step 2416, the background effect display control means SM23 performs jackpot end display on the effect display device SG (performs display appropriately based on the type of jackpot). Next, in step 2418, the background effect display control means SM23 turns off the special gaming flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2500). . Note that if the answer is No in Step 2404 or Step 2414, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in Step 2500).

  Next, FIG. 26 is a flowchart of the background effect control process according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. First, in step 2502, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the angel zone flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2502, in step 2504, the background effect display control means SM23 sets “angel zone background” (background effect that can be displayed with the temporary stop of “special symbol”) as the background effect, and step 2506. Migrate to Next, in step 2506, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b, and whether or not the change (part of the pseudo continuous change) that triggered the transition to the “angel zone” has ended. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 2506, in step 2508, the background effect display control means SM23 turns off the angel zone flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2509, the background effect display control means SM23 sets a predetermined background effect (for example, sets the background effect set before the “angel zone background” is set), and proceeds to step 2520. To do.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2502, in step 2512, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not a symbol variation display start instruction command has been received from the main side. . In the case of Yes in step 2512, in step 2514, a stage shift lottery to win with a predetermined probability (in this example, 1/20) is executed (the stage shift lottery is executed at the start of fluctuation of each variation). . Next, in Step 2516, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the lottery result in Step 2514 and determines whether or not the stage transition lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2516, in step 2518, the background effect display control means SM23 shifts to a predetermined stage transition pattern (for example, in order of looping each stage in the order of flat stage → space stage → volcano stage → flat stage). The background effect is set, and the process proceeds to Step 2520. Note that the process proceeds to step 2520 also in the case of No in step 2506, step 2512, or step 2516.

  Next, in step 2520, the background effect display control means SM23 sets a command for displaying the set background effect on the effect display device SG (in the display command transmission control process of step 2999, the sub-sub control unit SS side). The process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2999).

  By configuring as described above, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, two types of decoration patterns, a first decoration symbol and a second decoration symbol, are provided, and the first decoration symbol is not displayed (stopped). In a state where the display / variation display state is not displayed) or in a situation where it is difficult to visually recognize, the player can always display one of the decorative symbols by displaying the second decorative symbol (variable display). A user-friendly gaming machine that can be visually recognized and can accurately determine whether the symbol that is stopped or whether the jackpot symbol is stopped, or the like can be provided.

(Modification 1 from this embodiment)
Here, in the present embodiment, when the pseudo continuous variation is executed, the “special symbol” is always stopped as the temporary stop symbol in the middle row, and the first decorative symbol is always displayed during the variation display of the first decorative symbol. 2 The decorative design is configured not to be displayed, but the display control method of the decorative design is not limited to this. Therefore, an example of such a configuration is a first modification from the present embodiment, and only the changes from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 27 and FIG. 28 (decorative symbol effect table 3, ornament symbol effect table 4) are an example of the adornment symbol effect table SM21ta-2 (decorative symbol effect table 3, especially when the result is a failure, and , Is an example of the decorative design effect table 4, in particular, a part of the case where the result is a big hit. The changes from the present embodiment will be described in detail for the first decorative design. In the modification 1 from this embodiment, it is comprised so that a 1st decoration symbol may be displayed even if it fluctuates. Also, for example, when performing pseudo continuous variation such as “A-6 (losing) quasi-run 2 (specific appearance)”, the specific appearance is stopped in addition to “special design” at the temporary stop timing of the middle design. It is configured to be able to. Here, unlike the “special symbol”, the specific outcome is that all columns (left column, middle column, right column) stop with numbers, but the outcome is a stop mode according to certain rules. (For example, in the order of “345” or the like), and is configured to notify the player that the quasi-continuous variation is being executed when the specific outcome stops. In addition, in the first modification from the present embodiment, at the time of quasi-continuous variation execution, in the case of a loss, it becomes easier to stop the specific appearance than the “special symbol” at the temporary stop timing of the middle row. On the other hand, in the case of big hit, at the temporary stop timing in the middle row, the “special symbol” is easier to stop than the specific event, that is, the “special symbol” than when the specific event stops. The expectation that becomes a big hit is higher when is stopped. Note that the present invention is not limited to this, and there is no problem even if it is configured such that the degree of expectation that is a big hit is higher when the specific appearance is stopped than when the “special symbol” is stopped. In addition, when the pseudo variation is executed in the pseudo continuous variation, all the symbols are re-variable, that is, the three symbols are re-variable after the three symbols are temporarily stopped. When the “special symbol” is temporarily stopped in the middle row and then the middle row is re-variable, the decorative symbol in the middle row at the start of the re-variation is no longer “special symbol” {for example, “6 ★ 7 ”(★ = special symbol), if it is temporarily stopped, it will change again in the state of“ 667 ”(the middle symbol is preferably the symbol of“ ± 1 ”frames of the right symbol or the left symbol)} You may comprise.

  Next, changes from the present embodiment will be described in detail for the second decorative design. In the first modification from the present embodiment, the second decorative symbol is configured to be always displayed while the main game symbol is changing. In the case of reach, the second decorative symbol is also temporarily stopped at the temporary stop timing of the first decorative symbol, and the second decorative symbol is also determined and displayed at the fixed display timing of the first decorative symbol at the same time. (The same symbol is stopped and displayed for the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol). Note that the variation display mode of the second decorative symbol is not limited to this. For example, the first decorative symbol can be visually recognized, and the player can easily grasp the game progress status by visually recognizing the first decorative symbol. The second decorative symbol is not displayed, that is, when the first decorative symbol is being displayed, the left and right columns are temporarily stopped, and the specific appearance is stopped at the temporary stop timing of the middle column. In the case where the second decorative symbol is not displayed while the “special symbol” is stopped at the temporary stop timing in the middle row, the second decorative symbol is displayed in a variable manner (or temporarily displayed). (Stop display). Moreover, you may comprise so that all the 2nd decoration symbols may be stopped and temporarily stopped according to the stop and temporary stop of a 1st decoration symbol. Further, the second decorative symbol may be always displayed in a variable manner regardless of the variation state of the first decorative symbol, and the second decorative symbol may be fixed and stopped only when the first decorative symbol is fixed and stopped.

  With the configuration as described above, in the gaming machine according to the first modification from the present embodiment, the pseudo-continuous variation can be achieved by configuring the specific outcome to be temporarily stopped at the temporary stop timing in the middle row. A plurality of types of stop modes at the time of temporary stop can be provided at the time of execution, and the player pays attention to which one of the stop modes by changing the expectation level that is a big hit depending on the stop mode. This will increase the fun of the game.

  In the first modification from the present embodiment, the first decorative symbol is variably displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first decorative symbol may be displayed during execution of a specific effect such as a reach effect. May be configured not to be variably displayed (not displayed), or may be configured not to display only a specific column (for example, a middle column).

  In the first modification from the present embodiment, the specific event (or “special symbol”) can be temporarily stopped at the temporary stop timing in the middle row, but the specific event (or “special symbol”) is configured. ) May be changed, for example, (1) the left column and the right column are the same number, and the middle column is ± 1 of the same number. (For example, “4 ・ 5 ・ 4” or “special symbol” is placed at position 5 in the middle row). (2) In the same stop mode as the losing eye that is not a specific appearance There is a notification of a specific appearance due to a change in sound or color, (3) temporary stop at the same time in all rows, (4) numbers in the left row and / or right row at the temporary stop timing in the middle row (5) If the decorations in the left and right columns are numbers that are more than “2” apart, the decoration in the middle row And / or right columns and the case was temporarily stopped at a loss in the "2" or more away from the numbers, it may be used as such. In addition, the appearance condition of the specific item may be changed. For example, it appears easily when the temporary stop symbols (numbers) in the left column and the right column are the same (or appears only when they are the same). For example, the appearance condition of the “special symbol” may be different. In addition, it is more likely that a “special design” (or specific appearance) will appear after reach than if a “special design” (or specific appearance) appears if it is not a reach, or There is a high possibility that the “special symbol” will temporarily stop again during the symbol fluctuation {for example, “7 ★ 7” has a higher expectation of jackpot than “7 ★ 8” (★ = special symbol). Alternatively, there is a high possibility that a temporary stop will occur again}.

(Modification 2 from this embodiment)
Here, although the configuration of the display mode of the first decorative symbol at the time of the pseudo continuous variation is given in the present embodiment and the modified example 1 from the present embodiment, the first decorative symbol at the time of the pseudo continuous variation other than the configuration is described. With the configuration of the display mode, a new game can be created. Therefore, an example of such a configuration is referred to as a second modification from the present embodiment, and only changes from the first modification to the first embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 29 and FIG. 30 (decorative symbol effect table 5, ornament symbol effect table 6) are an example of an ornament symbol effect table SM21ta-2 (decorative symbol effect table 5, particularly when the result is a failure, and , Is an example of the decorative design effect table 6, in particular, a part of the case where the result is a big hit. First, the first decorative design will be described in detail with respect to changes from the present embodiment to the first modification. In the second modification from the present embodiment, the “special symbol” and “special symbol A” which are displayed while the first decorative symbol is changing and can be stopped at the temporary stop timing of the middle row in the pseudo continuous variation are “special symbol A” and “ Two types of special symbols B ”are provided. Here, the “special symbol A” is configured to be temporarily stopped from the first middle column temporary stop timing in the pseudo-continuous fluctuation (after that timing), while the “special symbol B” is pseudo-continuous. It is configured to be able to temporarily stop from the temporary stop timing of the second middle row in the fluctuation. Further, the specific event is configured to be able to temporarily stop from the first temporary stop timing of the middle row in the pseudo continuous variation (and after that timing). That is, at the temporary stop timing of the first middle row in the quasi-continuous variation, “special symbol A” and two types of specific appearances can be temporarily stopped as the stop mode, while the second middle row in the quasi-continuous variation. In the temporary stop timing, three types of “special symbol A”, “special symbol B”, and a specific pattern can be temporarily stopped as stop modes. There are more types of stop modes that can be stopped in the second temporary stop timing in the middle row in the pseudo continuous variation than in the temporary stop timing. In this way, in the temporary stop timing in the middle row of the pseudo continuous variation, it may be configured such that the number of stop modes increases as the second half temporary stop timing is reached, or the stop mode types increase as the second half temporary stop timing is reached. However, it may be configured to reduce the number. Also, in the case of a configuration in which the types of stop modes increase as the second half temporary stop timing is reached, there is a stop mode with a high expectation that the variation will be a big hit as a selection candidate type each time a pseudo variation is executed. It may be configured to be newly added, and by such a configuration, the player pays attention every time the pseudo variation is executed. Also, in the case of a configuration in which the type of stop mode decreases as the latter half of the temporary stop timing is reached, there is a stop mode with a low expectation that the variation will be a big hit as a selection candidate type each time a pseudo variation is executed. You may comprise so that it may be deleted, and by configuring in that way, the expectation degree that the fluctuation becomes a big hit every time the pseudo fluctuation is executed can be secured. In addition, about the 2nd decoration design, since it becomes the structure similar to the example 1 of a change from this embodiment, description is omitted.

  With the configuration as described above, in the gaming machine according to Modification 2 from the present embodiment, the temporary stop timing of the middle row in the pseudo continuous variation can be temporarily stopped as the temporary stop timing becomes the second half. By configuring so that the number of stop modes increases, the player pays attention to the number of times that the middle row temporarily stops and the stop mode at the time of temporary stop, and the fun of the game is enhanced.

(Modification 3 from this embodiment)
Here, in the present embodiment, there are two types of decorative symbols, a first decorative symbol and a second decorative symbol, and the first decorative symbol is not displayed (the display of stop display / variable display is not displayed). (State) or in a situation where it is difficult to visually recognize, the second decorative symbol is displayed (variable display). However, the configuration using the second decorative symbol is not limited to the configuration of the present embodiment. Thus, an example of such a configuration is referred to as a third modification from the present embodiment, and only the changes from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 31 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of Step 2200 in FIG. 18 in Modification 3 from the present embodiment. Changes from the present embodiment are Step 2232 (Modification 3) to Step 2236 (Modification 3), Step 2900 (Modification 3), Step 2246 (Modification 3) and Step 2248 (Modification 3), that is, Step 2204. Then, after turning off the symbol content determination permission flag, in step 2232 (change 3), the figure display content determination means SM21n refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and the current gaming state is the probability variation gaming state. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in Step 2232 (Variation 3), in step 2234 (Variation 3), the drawing display content determination means SM21n changes the display mode of the first decoration symbol and the second decoration symbol to the probability variation display mode (in the probability variation gaming state). (Decoration display mode of decorative symbols to be displayed), and the process proceeds to Step 2900 (Modification 3). On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 2232 (Modification 3), in Step 2236 (Modification 3), the drawing display content determination means SM21n changes the display mode of the first decoration symbol and the second decoration symbol to the non-probable change display mode ( The display mode of the decorative symbol to be displayed during the non-stochastic variation gaming state is determined, and the process proceeds to Step 2900 (Modification 3). Thus, in the modification 3 from this embodiment, the display mode of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol is configured to be different depending on whether or not the game is in the probability variation gaming state, and the first decorative symbol is displayed. When the display mode of the symbol changes (for example, when the non-stochastic variation gaming state shifts to the probability variation gaming state), the display mode of the second decorative symbol is also changed with the change. Note that the display mode of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol is not limited to a configuration that differs only depending on whether or not the game is in the probability variation gaming state. You may comprise so that it may differ with which production (production stage) is.

  Next, in step 2900 (modification 3), the drawing display content determination means SM21n executes a drawing stop symbol determination process, which will be described later. Next, in Step 2246 (Modification 3), the equipment display content determination means SM21n determines the variation mode of the first decorative symbol based on the information related to the variation mode of the main game symbol. Next, in step 2248 (modification 3), the drawing display content determination means SM21n determines the variation aspect of the second decorative symbol based on the information regarding the variation aspect of the main game symbol, and proceeds to step 2216.

  Next, FIG. 32 is a flowchart of the drawing stop symbol determination process related to the subroutine of Step 2900 (Modification 3) in FIG. 31 in Modification 3 from the present embodiment. First, in step 2902, the figure display content determination means SM21n refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not the stop symbol of the main game symbol related to the symbol variation is a jackpot symbol. In the case of Yes in step 2902, in step 2904, the drawing display content determination means SM21n refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and the number of rounds executed in the special game related to the jackpot symbol is the maximum number of rounds ( In this example, it is determined whether it is 16R). In the case of Yes in step 2904, in step 2906, the drawing display content determination means SM21n sets the stop symbols of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol in a set of three “white” symbols (for example, “777”) and Decided to be one of the three sets of “black” symbols (for example, “444”) (the total distribution ratio for selecting the three sets of “white” symbols and the three sets of “black” symbols The total distribution rate selected is 1: 1), and the process proceeds to the next process {the process of Step 2246 (Modification 3)}. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2904, in step 2908, the drawing display content determination means SM21n sets the stop symbols of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol in three “black” symbols (for example, “444”). And the process proceeds to the next process {the process of Step 2246 (Modification 3)}. As described above, in the third modification from the present embodiment, a set of three “white” symbols (for example, “777”) is a special game with the maximum number of rounds (16R in this example). It can be stopped only, i.e., when a set of three white symbols stops, it is determined that the special game of the maximum number of rounds (16R in this example) is executed (determined) It may be more profitable for the player than a set of three "black" symbols).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2902, in step 2910, the drawing display content determination means SM1n determines the stop symbol of the first decorative symbol based on the information related to the stop symbol of the main game symbol. Next, in step 2912, the figure display content determination means SM21n sets the stop symbol of the second decorative symbol as a predetermined loss symbol (in this example, “345”, and the stop symbol of the second decorative symbol is only one pattern). The process proceeds to the next process {the process of Step 2246 (Modification 3)}. Note that the type of stop symbol of the second decorative symbol does not have to be only one pattern, but it is desirable that the number of stop symbols of the second decorative symbol is smaller than the type of stop symbol of the first decorative symbol. Further, the stop symbol at the time of losing the second decorative symbol is a predetermined loss symbol (in this example, “345”), whereas the stop symbol at the time of losing the first decorative symbol is selected from a plurality of candidates. (For example, randomly selected from 300 kinds of stop symbol candidates), the frequency of the second decorative symbol being higher than the first decorative symbol is such that the predetermined loss symbol is stopped at the time of loss ( A predetermined lost symbol may be configured not to stop as the stop symbol of the first decorative symbol). Further, all the lost symbols that can stop the second decorative symbol (for example, only one pattern of “375”) may be the highest for the player in any game state when three identical symbols are arranged. You may comprise so that one or more symbols (for example, "7" symbol) which become profit may be included necessarily (for example, "375" and "276" may stop).

  Next, FIG. 33 is an image diagram relating to a display mode of decorative symbols in the third modification from the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, in the modified example 3 from this embodiment, the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are different depending on whether the gaming state is a non-probability variation gaming state or a probability variation gaming state. The display mode (in this example, the display color is a display attribute such as a color arrangement pattern, shape, size, etc.) can be different. Specifically, in the non-stochastic game state, only the “7” symbol is displayed in “white” together with the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol, and all symbols other than “7” are “ While it is configured to be displayed in “black” (becomes a non-probability display mode), in the case of the probability variation gaming state, “3” symbol and “7” together with the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol. The symbols are displayed in “white”, and all symbols other than “3” and “7” are displayed in “black”. In other words, the “3” symbol, together with the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol, is configured such that the display mode can be different depending on the gaming state (becomes a probable display mode). The condition that the display mode is different is not limited to whether or not the game is in the probability variation gaming state, and may be whether or not it is in the time-saving gaming state, and is different depending on which background effect (effect stage) is being executed. You may comprise so that it can do. In the modified example 3 from the present embodiment, the symbol whose display attribute can be changed depending on whether or not it is in the probability variation gaming state is the symbol “3”, but the symbol “3” is described above. In the non-stochastic game state, it is included in a combination of predetermined symbols (in this example, “345”) that will cause the second decorative symbol to stop when lost. In the probability variation game state, the stop symbols of the second decorative symbols at the time of loss are displayed as “white” from the left column, while the stop symbols of the second decorative symbols at the time of loss are all displayed in “black”. , “Black” and “black”.

  Next, FIG. 34 and FIG. 35 (decorative design effect table 7, decorative design effect table 8) are shown in the decorative symbol effect table SM21ta-2 (decorative symbol effect table 7, especially when the result is a loss, And, it is an example of the decorative design effect table 8, in particular, a part of the case where the success / failure result is a big hit. The change from this embodiment is that the item of the decorative symbol type is set as the display update type, and three items of “first decorative symbol”, “second decorative symbol”, and “transparent liquid crystal” are provided, In the modified example 3 from this embodiment, it is comprised so that the transmission effect which J display area SG10 of the effect display apparatus SG permeate | transmits can be performed, and the period when the transmission effect is performed is 1st decoration. The symbol is not displayed, but the second decorative symbol is displayed (see “33 seconds” of the display update timing).

  Next, FIG. 36 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of step 2200 in FIG. 18 according to the third modification from the present embodiment. Changes from the present embodiment are step 2327-1 (modification 3) and step 2327-2 (modification 3). That is, when the display timing of the preview image or reach image is reached in step 2326, step 2327- 1 (change 3), the notice effect display control means SM24 transmits the transmission effect (effect) based on the first design change time management timer SM21t-1 and the change mode temporarily stored in the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b. It is determined whether or not it is the execution timing of the effect that the display area SG10 of the display device SG is transmitted. In the case of Yes in Step 2327-1 (Modification 3), in Step 2327-2 (Modification 3), the notice effect display control means SM24 sets an image display command related to the transmission effect (in the display command transmission control process of Step 2999). Then, the process proceeds to step 2336. On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 2327-1 (Modification 3), the process proceeds to Step 2328. In addition, when the transmission effect is executed, the display area SG10 of the effect display device SG is transmitted, and the state in which the accessory in the effect display device SG is driven can be visually recognized, and the first decorative symbol is displayed. Is deleted (hidden), and the second decorative symbol is continuously displayed by the second decorative symbol display device in the effect display device SG (details will be described later). Moreover, in the example 3 of a change from this embodiment, the display of the 2nd decoration symbol of the production | presentation display apparatus SG is adjoined (right direction seeing from a player), and the holding | maintenance number display area is provided. With this configuration, the player can visually recognize the number of holds even during execution of the transmission effect.

  Next, FIG. 37 is a flowchart of the special game related display control process according to the subroutine of Step 2400 in FIG. 18 in Modification 3 from the present embodiment. The change from the present embodiment is Step 2410 (Modification 3), that is, after setting the command related to the jackpot display in Step 2408 or when the special game flag is on, Step 2410 ( In the strange 3), the background effect display control means SM23 sets a command for continuously displaying the second decorative symbol from the time of the stoppage of the jackpot symbol related to the special game (for example, “777” continues to stop) (step) In the display command transmission control process 2999, it is transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS side), and the process proceeds to Step 2412. Thus, in the third modified example from the present embodiment, the second decorative symbol is displayed even during execution of the special game, and the player can select which decorative symbol (the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol). Whether or not the special game is being executed can be determined even while the special game is being executed.

  Next, FIG. 38 is an image diagram relating to the configuration of the effect display device in Modification 3 from the present embodiment. First, as shown in the conceptual perspective view and the conceptual top view of the effect display device, a second decorative symbol display device is provided on the back side (viewed by the player) from the display area SG10, and the device emits light ( The light is output in the direction of the display area SG10), whereby the second decorative symbol and the reserved number display area are displayed in the display area SG10. In addition, an effect can be displayed in the display area SG10 by outputting light from the light source, but no effect is displayed in the area adjacent to the second decorative symbol display device in the display area SG10. The display of the second decorative symbol and the hold number display area by the two decorative symbol display device is configured to be visible to the player. Further, when the transmission effect is executed, the effect in the display area SG10 is not displayed, and the accessory in the effect display device SG is visible. In addition, since the effect display in the second decorative symbol display device is being executed even during the execution of the transmission effect, it is visible to the player. By configuring in this way, even in a situation where a transmission effect is being executed, the player can recognize the variation status of the decorative symbol and the number of holds by visually recognizing the effect display on the second decorative symbol display device. Become. In addition, the display of the hold number may be different depending on the game state (for example, the first main game hold number is displayed in the non-time-reduced game state, and the time-reduced game state is displayed. (The second main game hold number is displayed), the first main game hold number and the second main game hold number may be always displayed, or the total of the first main game hold number and the second main game hold number You may comprise so that the number of pending | holdings may be displayed. In addition, the structure which displays an effect in display area SG10 is not limited to this, What is necessary is just to be comprised so that display area SG10 can be switched to a permeation | transmission state and a non-transmission state, for example, the position of a light source is changed. Or a light guide plate (a transmissive plate-like member that scatters light emitted from the light emitting element incident from the side surface in the vertical direction). It is good also as a display area (what is called edge light type) which displays via, a display area which consists of organic EL, etc. In addition, as a structural example using the light guide plate, as viewed from the player side, “transmission liquid crystal (liquid crystal shutter)” and “light guide plate {adjacent to the transmission liquid crystal (about 5 mm) are provided from the front side. The light source A for distributing light to the light guide plate is disposed in the vicinity of the outer periphery of the light source plate} ”,“ the light source B that always outputs light to the lower left of the display area SG10 ”,“ the accessory ”,“ the role When the light source C is arranged in the order of “light source C for emphasizing an object to be shown to the player” and a transmission effect is executed (when it is desired to emphasize the object and show the player), the output of the light source A is turned off The output of A may be lower than when the transmission effect is not executed), the output of the light source B and the light source C is turned ON, and the transmission effect is not executed (I do not want to show the player the actor) In the case of wanting to show the player the effect in the display area SG10), the light source A and ON the output of the source B, and outputs the OFF of the light source C (output of the light source C also may as an output lower than the transmissive demonstration execution) may be configured to. Further, the display of the second decorative symbol and the reserved number display area is not limited to the configuration of the present example. For example, when the second decorative symbol display device emits light (light is output in the direction of the display region SG10). The second decorative symbol and the reserved number display area can be displayed in the display area SG10 by the same mechanism as that in which the effect is displayed by outputting light from the light source toward the display area SG10. When the second decorative design display device replaces the light source, the second decorative design display device always outputs light even when a transmission effect is executed and the light source stops outputting light. The display of the two decorative symbols and the number-of-holds display area may be configured to be visible at all times (the light guide plate is used to prevent transmission of the transmissive liquid crystal).

  Next, FIG. 39 is a transmission effect execution image diagram in Modification 3 from the present embodiment. In this example, the quasi-continuous variation is executed twice in the normal gaming state (non-stochastic variation gaming state and non-time-reduced gaming state) (the variation of pseudo-continuation 2). The case is shown as an example. First, a certain decorative symbol (first decorative symbol and second decorative symbol) starts to fluctuate, and then the special symbol temporarily stops as the first middle row temporary stop symbol. Thereafter, the variation of certain decorative symbols (first decorative symbol and second decorative symbol) is started again, and then the special symbol is temporarily stopped again as the second middle row temporary stop symbol. Thereafter, the variation of certain decorative symbols (the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol) is started again, and the display region SG10 is in a transmissive state due to the transmission effect being executed. The player is able to visually recognize the state in which the accessory is being driven. Thereafter, the transmission effect is finished (the display area SG10 is in a non-transparent state), the character in the back of the display area SG10 (as viewed from the player) becomes invisible, and the first decorative symbol is changed and displayed again. It becomes visible (displayed). Thereafter, in the case of a loss, the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol stop at the lost symbol {the second decorative symbol stops at the predetermined lost symbol ("345") and the first decorative symbol stops. It is a combination of stop symbols that may differ from the lost symbol (“787”)}. Also, in the case of a big hit, the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol stop at the big hit symbol {the first decorative symbol big hit symbol and the second decorative symbol big hit symbol have the same combination of stop symbols. }. After that, a special game is executed, and the second decorative symbol continues to be stopped and displayed with the same jackpot symbol as that at the start of the special game even during the execution of the special game. Even during the execution of the special game, the transmission effect may be executed (the display area SG10 may be set to the transmission state). For example, an effect of informing whether or not the probability variation game state is set after the special game ends. By configuring so that the transmission effect can be executed immediately before the execution, the player can increase the expectation to shift to the probability variation gaming state after the special game is finished by visually recognizing the transmission effect. Even if the transmission effect is executed during the execution of the special game, the display of the second decorative symbol and the number-of-holds display area is maintained (because it is visible), so that the progress of the game is not hindered. It is configured as follows. As an example of display of decorative symbols during a special game, for example, during a special game, in order to notify the player which of the three decorative symbols has become a big hit, only one such uniform symbol is displayed. (For example, “7” is displayed when a big hit is made at “777”), and when the transmission effect is executed, the display of the aligned symbols becomes invisible. In order to make it possible to recognize, the display of the second decorative symbol and the hold number display area may be maintained even during the special game.

  With the configuration as described above, in the gaming machine according to the third modification from the present embodiment, the display area SG10 of the effect display device SG is in a transparent state, and the objects in the effect display device SG can be visually recognized. Since the effect is configured to be executable and the display of the effect on the second decorative symbol display device is executed even if the first decorative symbol is not displayed during the execution of the transmission effect, the player can display the second decorative symbol. By visually recognizing the effect display on the display device, it is possible to recognize the variation status of the decorative symbol and the number of reserved symbols, and to make the gaming machine more user-friendly. Also, the game state transition distribution ratio after the end of the special game related to the ball entering the first main game start opening A10 and the game state transfer distribution after the end of the special game related to the ball entering the second main game start port B10. It is possible to suggest or notify that the player is highly profitable by changing the display attributes of the decorative symbols (the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol) depending on whether or not the game is in the probability variation gaming state. By making the number of types of symbols different, the game ball enters the first main game start port A10 and enters the second main game start port B10 rather than the non-stochastic variation game state in which the game proceeds. The number of types of display attributes for jackpot symbols in which the transition to the probability variation gaming state becomes deterministic after the special game ends is greater in the probability variation gaming state in which the game is advanced by entering the ball, Whether the gaming state is highly profitable for the player And thus it can be properly suggest or notifiable configured for player.

  In the third modification from the present embodiment, the current game state and the effect display mode (background effect, etc.) correspond to any variation of the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol. The decorative symbol of the display attribute is variably displayed, and the decorative symbol corresponding to the variation of the first main game symbol and the decorative symbol corresponding to the variation of the second main game symbol are displayed in common (and display attributes). (The display attribute and display area of the decorative symbol are not differentiated between the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol).

(Second Embodiment)
Here, in the present embodiment, two types of decorative symbols, the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol, are provided so that the result of symbol variation can be accurately recognized. The present invention can also be applied to a configuration that can execute the above. Therefore, an example of such a configuration is referred to as a second embodiment, and only differences from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 40 is a flowchart of main game content determination random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. 5 in the second embodiment. The difference from this embodiment is step 1322 (second) to step 1344 (second), the purpose of which is to subtract the variation mode random number delimiter information, which is information to be referred to when determining the look-ahead effect content. That is, after storing the first main game content determination random number in step 1308, in step 1322 (second), the hold control means MJ30 sets the flag of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Referring to the area, it is determined whether or not the special game execution flag is off. If Yes in step 1322 (second), in step 1324 (second), the hold control means MJ30 determines whether or not the main game short time flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b is off. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 1324 (second), in step 1326 (second), the hold control means MJ30 determines whether or not the result of the stored hold and the stop symbol based on the hold information (the lottery random number and symbol determination random number). Is determined in advance. Next, in step 1328 (second), the hold control unit MJ30 sends a command related to the newly generated hold result / stop result information and stop symbol information to the sub-main control unit SM for transmitting a command MT10. Is set (sent to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999).

  Next, in step 1330 (second), the hold control unit MJ30 preliminarily determines the change mode random number delimiter information and the change mode group related to the stored hold based on the hold information (variation mode determination random number) (change). (Refer to the main game table 3 of FIGS. 41 and 42 for the mode random number delimiter information and the variation mode group). In the second embodiment, one variation mode group is configured to include a plurality of types of variation modes (variation times). Next, in step 1332 (second), the hold control means MJ30 executes a command related to the new hold occurrence (the hold occurrence command of the first main game content determination random number, the command related to the variation mode random number separator information, etc.) The command is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to the main control unit SM (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999), and the process proceeds to step 1312. When the symbol information is configured to be transmitted to the sub side as in the second embodiment, an effect suggesting a big hit may be executed as an effect to be executed on the sub side. It is desirable that the player can be notified of the stop symbol of the main game symbol that is a big hit (the stop symbol is notified only when the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a big hit). Also, if the answer is No in step 1322 (second) or step 1324 (second), the process proceeds to step 1312.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, when the main game content determination random number (the first main game content determination random number or the second main game content determination random number) is acquired (or when the hold occurs), the variation mode random number delimiter information and the variation mode It is configured to determine a group.

  In addition, it may be configured to transmit the main game content determination random number information, the failure random number delimiter information, the variation mode random number delimiter information, and the variation mode group information to the sub side at the timing when the hold occurs, The information to be transmitted to is not limited to this, but information related to the main game symbols that are stopped, information related to the main game symbols that are jackpots (number of special game rounds related to the main game symbols scheduled to stop, etc.) ), The number of holdings immediately after the winning of the holding (the number of holdings on the winning side of the first main game side or the second main game side may be only the holding number of both the first main game side and the second main game side) May be configured to transmit information related to the {the failure random number delimiter information refers to each gaming state and random number value (or random value range) on the first main game side (second main game side) And the lottery results are grouped together. This is one piece of random number delimiter information. For example, if the game is in a probability variation game state or a non-probability variation game state, it will be lost, whether it is a probability variation game state or a non-stochastic variation game state, If it is a floating game state, it is a win, but if it is a non-stochastic variable game state, a grouping such as losing can be given}.

  Next, after storing the second main game content determination random number in step 1318, in step 1334 (second), the hold control means MJ30 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and the special game. It is determined whether or not the execution flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1334 (second), in step 1338 (second), the hold control means MJ30 determines whether or not the stored result is the hold result and the stop symbol based on the hold information (the lottery random number and symbol determination random number). Is determined in advance. Next, in step 1340 (second), the hold control unit MJ30 sends a command related to the newly generated hold result and stop symbol information to the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit SM. Is set (sent to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999).

  Next, in step 1342 (second), the hold control unit MJ30 preliminarily determines the fluctuation mode random number delimiter information and the change mode group related to the stored hold based on the hold information (variation mode determination random number) (change). (Refer to the main game table 3 in FIGS. 32 and 33 for the mode random number delimiter information and the variation mode group). Next, in step 1344 (second), the hold control means MJ30 executes a command related to a new hold occurrence (a hold occurrence command of the second main game content determination random number, a command related to the variation mode random number separator information, etc.) It is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to the main control unit SM (sent to the sub main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process in step 1999), and the process proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 1400). .

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1334 (second), in step 1336 (second), the hold control means MJ30 has the main game short time flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b turned off. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1336 (second), the processing proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 1400). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1336 (second), the process proceeds to step 1338 (second).

  In step 1308 and step 1318, the first main game content determination random number is stored and the second main game content determination random number is stored, but the main game content determination random number is stored in the RAM storage area of the main control board. Is stored, and only the information related to the “main game content determination random number” is stored in the byte storing the information related to the main game content determination random number (various timers). It is preferable to configure such that other information such as value is not stored) (when operating another data stored in the same 1 byte, information related to the main game content determination random number is rewritten due to noise or the like) To prevent it). In addition, with respect to the winning lottery random number, the change of the gaming state (from the gaming state related to the hold that has already been recorded) between the acquisition of the winning lottery random number and the execution of the winning lottery related to the winning lottery random number. Since not only the change but also the game state may change due to the newly generated hold, the game state at the time of the lottery execution related to the lottery random number may be unpredictable). Until the process is executed, the lottery random number is stored. In the second embodiment, the command to the sub-main control unit SM related to the hold information can be transmitted only at the occurrence of the hold related to the first main game in the non-time-saving game state, while the time-saving game state Is configured so that it can be transmitted only at the time of occurrence of the hold related to the second main game, but regardless of whether it is the hold related to the first main game or the hold related to the second main game in any game state. Alternatively, the command may be transmitted, and in such a case, the sub-main control unit SM may determine whether to use the received command. Further, a specific example of the command related to the success / failure result information to be transmitted to the sub main control unit SM is “D000H: out of place, D001H: out of low probability, hit with high accuracy, D002H: hit with both low accuracy and high accuracy”. Yes, a specific example of the command related to the stop symbol information transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM is “D100H: 16R probability variation, D101H: 16R non-probability variation, D102H: 2R probability variation”, and the sub-main control unit SM A specific example of the command related to the variation mode random number delimiter information to be transmitted is “D200H: delimiter 1, D201H: delimiter 2, D202H: delimiter 3”.

  Next, FIG. 41 and FIG. 42 (main game table 3) are the first main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A (second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B) in the second embodiment. It is an example. The difference from the present embodiment is that a variation mode group and variation mode random number delimiter information are provided. That is, in the second embodiment, a variation mode for a certain random value (or random value range). Random number separator information is determined, and the number of variation mode groups (number in which random numbers are divided), variation time, and random value range of variation mode groups are different depending on the gaming state and the lottery result (for example, , Even in the same group 1, the range of random number values can be different), and by transmitting the variation mode random number delimiter information to the sub-side, the variation mode group corresponding to these gaming states is sub-side It can be derived at That is, when the gaming state transitions between the occurrence of the hold and the digestion of the hold, the variation mode group that was planned at the time of the occurrence of the hold and the change mode group that is executed at the time of the hold can be different. (For example, the change mode group was scheduled to be group 1 because it was a non-time-reduced gaming state at the time of the onset of hold, but the actual change mode group became group 2 because the time-reduced game state was reached at the time of the suspension The fluctuation mode random number delimiter information to which a common variation mode group is assigned over all the gaming states is obtained at the time when the variable mode random number delimiter information is received on the sub-side (the subsequent gaming state) It is possible to normally execute the so-called hold prefetch effect without considering the transition. In addition, the variation mode random number separation information in FIGS. 32 and 33 is a variation on the first main game side or a variation on the second main game side, whether the result of the lottery is win or miss, Depending on whether the state is a time-reduced gaming state or a non-time-reduced gaming state, it is configured to form different variation mode random number separator information, but is not limited to this, it is a variation on the first main game side One variation mode random number delimiter including whether it is a variation on the second main game side, whether the lottery result is winning or losing, and whether the game state is a time-reduced game state or a non-time-reduced game state You may comprise so that information may be formed. Further, in order to cause the second main game hold to occur during the fluctuation of the first main game symbol in the time shortening game state which is an irregular symbol variation, the first main game symbol relating to the loss in the time reduction game state The contents of the variation mode determination table may be configured so that a short-term variation mode is not selected regardless of the number of holds (for example, the variation time is all 5 seconds or more). The number of holds shown in the figure is not the total number of the first main game hold and the second main game hold, but is the first main game change mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A. In the case of the second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B, it is the second main game hold number.

  Next, FIG. 43 is a main flowchart on the sub control board S side (particularly on the sub main control unit SM side) in the second embodiment. The difference from the present embodiment is step 2003 (second), that is, after executing the initial processing in step 2002, in step 2003 (second), the sub main control unit SM is connected to the main side (main). Based on the information received from the control board M side), the number of holdings (for example, the drawing holding counter value) is restored. In addition, the information related to the effect that is being executed or the look-ahead effect is not restored (and the information related to the pending content is not retransmitted from the main side), and the “preparing” screen is displayed until the start of the next change. . With this configuration, when power interruption occurs when the background effect is “angel zone background”, the information stored on the sub side is lost. After the return of, information indicating that the trigger is suspended does not remain, and the background effect is changed from the “angel zone background” to another background effect (background effect such as a flat ground stage described later). As a result, there is a discrepancy between the hold information stored on the main side and the hold information stored on the sub side due to power interruption (for example, due to power interruption or noise at power recovery). However, it is possible to avoid a situation in which a zone effect with a high degree of expectation is executed on the sub side while a low degree of expectation is changing on the main side. In addition, the process after the return of the power interruption is not limited to this, and after the interruption of the power interruption, the information indicating that the trigger is held immediately before the occurrence of the power interruption is restored, and “ It may be configured to maintain an “angel zone background”. In such a configuration, for example, a subsidence area is provided on the sub side where information can be maintained even during power interruption, and information related to performance is backed up in the retreat area when a power interruption occurs, and power interruption recovery is performed. It may be configured to restore backed up information from time to time. In addition, it may be configured so that information related to the content of the hold is received again from the main side at the time of power failure recovery, at the start of change, at the time of change stop, at the time of occurrence of hold (even for hold other than the newly generated hold) Good {Although not specifically shown in this example, at the time of power failure recovery, only information related to the number of holds is transmitted from the main side (information related to the contents of hold is not sent). . For this reason, since the information related to the hold that existed at the time of power interruption does not exist after the return from power interruption, the pre-reading effect cannot be executed for the hold (the hold from the main side at the time of power interruption return) It may be configured so as to receive information related to the above, and may be configured so that a pre-reading effect can be executed for the suspension. In addition, when a power interruption occurs while the decorative symbols (the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol) are fluctuating, if the function for maintaining the information at the time of the power interruption is not provided, the fluctuation from the main side. A dark screen (for example, a screen displaying “Preparing” or the like) is displayed until an end command is received}. In the second embodiment, switching the background effect so as to display the “angel zone background” as the background effect may be described as shifting to the “angel zone”.

  Next, FIG. 44 is a flowchart of the hold information management process according to the subroutine of Step 2100 of FIG. 43 in the second embodiment. Differences from this embodiment are step 2120 (second) to step 2128 (second), step 2550 (second), step 2600 (second), and step 2650 (second), that is, step 2104. Then, after adding 1 to the drawing hold counter, in step 2120 (second), the drawing hold information display control means SM22 sends a new hold result and stop symbol information transmitted from the main control board M side. Is temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Next, in step 2122 (second), the drawing hold information display control means SM22 is based on the hold occurrence command transmitted from the main control board M side, and holds the hold information (in particular, the change mode group, the change mode random number delimiter information) , Etc.) are temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. In addition, when the information regarding the result of the determination, the stop symbol, the variation mode group, and the variation mode random number separator information is not transmitted from the main side, in Step 2120 (second) or Step 2122 (second), The information is not temporarily stored in the hold information temporary storage area. Next, in step 2124 (second), the drawing hold information display control means SM22 determines whether or not the new hold is a hold on the first main game side. In the case of Yes in step 2124 (second), in step 2550 (second), the drawing hold information display control means SM22 executes a first main game winning prefetch determination process to be described later, and step 2126 (second) Migrate to On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2124 (second), in step 2600 (second), the drawing suspension information display control means SM22 executes a second main game winning prefetch determination process to be described later, and step 2126 (second) Move to 2).

  Next, in step 2126 (second), the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and has information indicating that the new hold is a trigger hold. (The information indicating that the trigger is suspended is added at step 2576 or step 2622). In the case of Yes in step 2126 (second), in step 2650 (second), the drawing hold information display control means SM22 executes a prefetch hold content determination process which will be described later, and proceeds to step 2118. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 2126 (second), the process proceeds to step 2118.

  On the other hand, after subtracting 1 from the drawing hold counter in step 2112, in step 2128 (second), the drawing hold information display control means SM22 displays the hold information related to the symbol change (in particular, the result of the determination, the stop symbol information, The change mode group and the change mode random number delimiter information) are deleted from the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the remaining hold information is shifted, and the process proceeds to Step 2116.

  Next, FIG. 45 is a flowchart of a first main game winning prefetch determination process according to the subroutine of step 2550 (second) in FIG. This process will be described in two parts: a process related to the prohibition condition of the pre-read lottery and a process related to the pre-read lottery. In the former prefetch lottery prohibition process, first, in step 2552, the hold prefetch effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and holds the second main game hold (first main hold) in the hold. It is determined whether or not there is a hold that is digested in preference to the game side. In the case of Yes in step 2552, in step 2554, the hold prefetch effect execution possibility determination means SM26k refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not the current gaming state is not the time reduction gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2554, in step 2558, the hold prefetch effect execution possibility determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and there is a hold having information indicating that the trigger is held in the hold. Judge whether or not there is. Here, the trigger hold is a hold that is won in a pre-read lottery at the time of winning (first pre-game lottery at the time of winning a first main game, pre-read lottery at the time of second main game win). In the case of Yes in step 2558, in step 2560, the hold prefetch effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and whether there is a big hit hold before the new hold. Determine whether. If Yes in step 2560, the process proceeds to step 2562.

  Next, in the processing related to the latter prefetch lottery, first, in step 2562, the hold prefetch effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the new hold is a big hit. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2562, in step 2564, the holding pre-reading effect execution availability determination means SM26k executes a pre-reading lottery for winning winning with a predetermined probability (1/3 in this example) for the new holding, Control goes to step 2574. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2562, in step 2568, the hold prefetching effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and whether or not the new hold variation mode group is group 3 or not. Determine whether. As described above, in the second embodiment, when determining whether or not the prefetch lottery can be executed, it is configured to determine whether or not the prefetch lottery can be executed in consideration of the variation mode group. Note that when determining whether or not the prefetch lottery can be executed, it may be configured to determine whether or not the prefetch lottery can be executed in consideration of the variation mode random number separation information. In the case of Yes in step 2568, in step 2570, the hold prefetch effect execution availability determination means SM26k executes a prefetch lottery for winning winning with a predetermined probability (1/10 in this example) for the new hold, Control goes to step 2574. On the other hand, if the result is No in step 2568, the process proceeds to step 2574.

  Next, in step 2574, the pending pre-reading effect execution availability determination means SM26k determines whether or not the winning pre-read lottery is won. In the case of Yes in step 2574, in step 2576, the hold pre-reading effect execution availability determination means SM26k is set to “trigger hold” for the new hold in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b that wins the winning pre-read lottery. Information to that effect is added and temporarily stored, and the processing proceeds to the next processing {step 2126 (second) processing}.

  On the other hand, if No in step 2552 (the second main game hold is present in the hold), in step 2578, the hold prefetch effect execution availability determination means SM26k is temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Delete the information indicating "trigger hold" from the stored hold information (if there is no hold in the hold with information indicating that the trigger is held, this process is not executed and the next The process proceeds to the next process {the process of step 2126 (second)}. It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 2554, step 2558, step 2560, or step 2574, the processing proceeds to the next processing {step 2126 (second processing)}. In the process of step 2578, when there is a hold on the second main game side (occurrence), in the second main game side preferential digestion gaming machine as in the second embodiment, the newly generated second This is a configuration for avoiding a situation in which the pre-reading effect over a plurality of fluctuations is not normally executed because the reservation on the main game side is digested first, so that the planned fluctuation order is not achieved. In addition, as a prohibition condition of the pre-read lottery, a condition that whether or not there is a hold of a specific variation mode group (or a hold of specific variation mode random number separator information) in the hold before the new hold is set as a prohibition condition Also good.

  Next, FIG. 46 is a flowchart of the second main game winning prefetch determination process according to the subroutine of step 2600 (second) in FIG. This process will be described in two parts: a process related to the prohibition condition of the pre-read lottery and a process related to the pre-read lottery. In the former prefetch lottery prohibition process, first, in step 2602, the hold prefetch effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the main information temporary storage means SM11b, and whether or not the current gaming state is a time-reduced gaming state. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 2602, in step 2604, the hold pre-reading effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and there is a hold having information indicating that the trigger is held in the hold. Judge whether or not there is. In the case of Yes in step 2604, in step 2606, the hold prefetch effect execution possibility determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and whether there is a big hit hold before the new hold. Determine whether. If YES in step 2606, the process proceeds to step 2608.

  Next, in the processing related to the latter prefetch lottery, first, in step 2608, the hold prefetch effect execution possibility determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the new hold is a big hit. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2608, in step 2610, the holding pre-reading effect execution availability determination means SM26k has a predetermined probability (a probability lower than the winning rate of the first main game winning pre-fetch lottery for the big hit holding) for the new hold. Yes, in this example, a winning prefetch lottery to be won in 1/5) is executed, and the process proceeds to step 2620. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2608, in step 2612, the hold prefetch effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and whether or not the new hold variation mode group is group C. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 2612, in step 2616, the hold prefetch effect execution possibility determination means SM26k has a predetermined probability (a probability lower than the winning rate of the first main game winning prefetch lottery with respect to lose hold) for the new hold. Yes, in this example, the winning pre-fetch lottery for winning at 1/15) is executed, and the process proceeds to step 2620. On the other hand, if NO in step 2612, the process also proceeds to step 2620.

  Next, in step 2620, the hold pre-reading effect execution availability determination means SM26k determines whether or not the winning pre-read lottery is won. In the case of Yes in step 2620, in step 2622, the hold pre-reading effect execution availability determination means SM26k is “trigger hold” for the new hold in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b that is won in the winning pre-read lottery. Information to that effect is added and temporarily stored, and the process proceeds to the next process {step 2126 (second) process}. In addition, also in the case of No in step 2602, step 2604, step 2606, or step 2620, the process proceeds to the next process {step 2126 (second) process}.

  In this way, in the second embodiment, in both cases where the new hold becomes a big hit and loses, the look-ahead for the hold on the first main game side rather than the look-ahead lottery for the hold on the second main game side The lottery is easier to win (Look-ahead lottery win rate when the first main game hold is a big win hold = 1/3> Pre-fetch lottery when the second main game hold is a big win hold Winning rate = 1/5, prefetch lottery win rate when first main game hold is lost hold = 1/10> prefetch lottery win rate when second main game hold is a big hit hold = 1 / 15). By configuring in this way, the “special symbol” related to the first main game side appears more than the “special symbol” related to the second main game side even in the appearance rate of the “special symbol” as the look-ahead effect. It is easy to do.

  Next, FIG. 47 is a flowchart of prefetch hold content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2650 (second) in FIG. First, at step 2652, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and determines whether or not the trigger hold is a big hit hold. In the case of Yes in step 2652, in step 2654, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 determines the display mode of the trigger hold with reference to the hold display mode determination table (at the time of big hit), and performs the next process (step 2118). The process proceeds to (1). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2652, in step 2656, the display mode of the trigger hold is determined with reference to the hold display mode determination table (at the time of losing), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2118).

  Here, the two tables at the bottom of the figure are a hold display mode determination table (at the time of a big hit) and a hold display mode determination table (at the time of a loss). In the second embodiment, the type of display mode that can be selected when determining the display mode of the trigger hold that can change at the time of execution of the hold change effect with reference to the hold display mode determination table (at the time of big hit) is rainbow color, There are four types of red, green, and blue, and the types of display modes that can be selected when determining with reference to the hold display mode determination table (at the time of losing) are red, green, and blue. A lottery will be drawn with a random number dedicated to determining the mode. It should be noted that red is most easily selected when referring to the hold display mode determination table (at the time of big hit), while blue is most easily selected when referring to the hold display mode determination table (when lost). The jackpot expectation degree for each display mode when an event occurs is the expectation degree (expectation degree that becomes a big hit by the symbol variation related to the hold), and the rainbow color is selected only at the time of the big hit. From high to low, the order is red, green, and blue. Note that the display mode that can be changed is merely an example, and there is no problem even if the number of types is changed or the color that can be changed is changed. In addition, in this example, it is configured so that the expected degree of big hit can be suggested by the display color of the hold, but is not limited to this, for example, in the case of big hit (or combined with the expected degree of big hit) The game state after the execution of the special game may be suggested. In such a configuration, particularly in the probability variation gaming state, the display color of the suspension suggests the expectation degree to shift to the probability variation gaming state after the execution of the special game in the case of a big hit in the suspension. (For example, if the hold display color is red, the probability variation expectation is large, if the blue display probability is blue, the probability variation expectation is small, etc.), it is determined whether the probability variation gaming state advantageous to the player continues or ends. It is possible to perform an effective production.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, when executing the hold change effect, the big hit expectation can be different depending on the display mode selected from the plural types of hold display modes. Further, it may be configured such that the hold change effect can be executed a plurality of times during execution of the prefetch effect (from the timing of winning the prefetch lottery to the end of the change of the main game symbol related to the trigger hold). For example, in the case where the hold change effect is executed twice during the execution of the prefetch effect, when the display mode of the hold that changes in the first hold change effect is blue, the second time The on-hold display mode that changes in the on-hold change effect is changed to green or red, that is, every time the on-hold change effect is executed, it changes (ranks up) to a on-hold display mode with a high jackpot expectation. It is desirable to make it so that it does not detract from the player's expectations. In addition, the effect related to the change in the hold display is not limited to this, and as a result, an effect mode that does not involve the change in the hold display may be provided. There may be provided an effect form (so-called gas pattern) in which an effect occurs and the hold display does not change as it is, and an effect form in which the hold display change is executed thereafter.

  Next, FIG. 48 is a flowchart of decorative symbol display content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2200 in FIG. 43 in the second embodiment. The difference from this embodiment is about step 2206 (second) and step 2250 (second), and the purpose thereof is to stop the first decorative symbol (including the temporary stop), in particular, “ The purpose is to change a factor for determining a “special symbol” (that is, a symbol that does not mean a big hit, but then notifies that a big hit can occur). That is, after the symbol content determination permission flag is turned on in step 2204, in step 2206 (second), the drawing display content determination means SM21n (and the notice effect display content determination means SM24n, the reach effect display content determination means SM25n). Refers to the symbol information temporarily stored in the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b (variation mode relating to the main game symbol) and the drawing variation content determination lottery table SM21ta, the variation mode of the first decorative symbol {For example, when the variation mode related to the main game symbol is short-term variation, non-reach, when it is long-term variation, normal reach, super reach, etc.} is determined and the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b (And notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, reach effect related information temporary storage means SM25b), and temporarily stored in step 2 To migrate to 08.

  In step 2216, the decoration design effect content is determined and the display update timing and the display update content are set. Then, in step 2250 (second), the design display content determination means SM21n is a notice effect / display device which will be described later. The figure stop symbol determination process is executed, and the process proceeds to Step 2218. That is, the stop symbol (including the temporary stop time) of the first decorative symbol is determined by a notice effect / illustration stop symbol determination process, which will be described later.

  Next, FIG. 49 is a flowchart of the notice effect / illustration stop symbol determination process according to the subroutine of step 2250 (second) in FIG. First, in step 2252, the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b and determines whether or not the change is a change related to the trigger hold. In the case of Yes in step 2252, in step 2254, the notice effect display control means SM24 turns off the angel zone entry flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b. Next, in step 2260, the notice effect display control means SM24 determines the contents of the notice effect from “special notice effect candidates”. Here, the “special notice effect candidate” is a notice effect candidate to be referred to when determining the notice effect when the background effect is an “angel zone background” described later. Next, in step 2262, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 determines the stop symbol (temporary stop symbol) of the first decorative symbol based on the information related to the stop symbol of the main game symbol, and performs the next process (the process of step 2218). ). Here, in Step 2262, it is desirable that the above-mentioned “special symbol” is not selected as the stop symbol (temporary stop symbol) of the first decorative symbol. In the case of “Background” (that is, a state in which the presence of a high-hit expectation hold is already informed), the above-mentioned “special symbol” (that is, it does not mean a big hit, but a big hit can occur after that) This is because, if the symbol (notifying the player) is stopped and displayed, similar information is double-informed, which may result in an inexplicable presentation for the player.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2252, in step 2256, the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b and determines whether or not there is a trigger hold in the hold. In the case of Yes in step 2256, in step 2258, the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b and determines whether or not the angel zone entry flag is off. If Yes in step 2258, the process proceeds to step 2264. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2258, the process proceeds to step 2260.

  Next, in step 2264, the notice effect display control means SM24 determines the contents of the notice effect from “normal notice effect candidates”. Here, the “normal notice effect candidate” is a notice effect candidate to be referred to when determining the notice effect when the background effect is other than “angel zone background” described later. Next, in Step 2266, the notice effect display control means SM24 turns on the angel zone entry flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b. Next, in step 2268, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 determines the stop symbol in the middle row of the first decorative symbol as “special symbol”, and based on the information regarding the stop symbol of the main game symbol, The temporary stop symbols of the left column and the right column are determined (designs different from the left column and the right column are temporarily stopped), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2218).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2256, in step 2270, the notice effect display control means SM24 determines whether or not the variation mode group of the variation is group 3. {By this processing, the variation that is not group 3 is The angel zone transfer lottery, which will be excluded from the angel zone transfer lottery described later, and the change related to the hold of group 3 that did not win the prefetch lottery (prefetch lottery at the time of winning a prize) (which did not become the trigger hold) Is eligible for lottery}. In the case of Yes in step 2270, in step 2272, the notice effect display control means SM24 indicates that the change is a pseudo continuous change (a change in which the pseudo change is executed at least once. In this example, the change is illustrated in FIGS. 21 and 22. It is determined whether or not it is a change in which the effects (A-1, A-2, B-2, etc.) are executed. In the case of Yes in step 2272, in step 2274, the notice effect display control means SM24 changes the angel zone background to the angel zone background lottery to win with a predetermined probability (1/10 in this example). Or lottery). Next, in step 2276, the notice effect display control means SM24 determines whether or not the angel zone transition lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2276, in step 2278, the notice effect display control means SM24 determines the contents of the notice effect from “normal notice effect candidate → special notice effect candidate after special symbol temporary stop timing” (for example, FIG. 21). In the case of A-1 and A-2, the content of the notice effect is determined from the “normal notice effect candidate” for 14 seconds from the start of the change, and after 14 seconds from the start of the change that becomes the first middle row temporary stop timing. The content of the notice effect is determined from “special notice effect candidates”). Next, in step 2280, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 changes the temporary stop symbol of the middle row of the first game symbol (first in pseudo continuous fluctuation) to “special symbol” (the background effect is changed to the angel zone). Decorative symbols to notify the player), and based on the information about the stop symbol of the main game symbol, the temporary stop symbols in the left column and the right column of the first decorative symbol are the same as in the case of reach (Stop mode), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2218). The temporary stop symbol is a temporary stop symbol of pseudo variation in pseudo continuous variation, and may be hereinafter referred to as a pseudo continuous symbol.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2270, step 2272, or step 2276, in step 2282, the notice effect display control means SM24 determines the notice effect contents from “normal notice effect candidate”. Next, in step 2284, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 determines the stop symbol (temporary stop symbol) of the first decorative symbol based on the information related to the stop symbol of the main game symbol, and performs the next process (the process of step 2218). ).

  In the second embodiment, the angel zone transition lottery is executed at step 2274 to determine whether or not the transition angel zone transition is possible (the quasi-continuous symbol in the middle of the variation is set as a “special symbol” and the special symbol It is configured to determine whether or not to move to the Angel Zone when triggered by a temporary stop), but is not limited to this. Combination of the first pseudo-continuous symbol (first middle temporary stop symbol) and the notice effect A plurality of candidates may be provided, and at the time of pseudo continuous variation, a combination of pseudo-continuous symbols and notice effects may be determined from the combination candidates. Specifically, as the combination candidates, “pseudo continuous symbol A, notice effect 1”, “pseudo continuous symbol A, notice effect 2”, “pseudo continuous symbol A, notice effect 3”, “pseudo continuous symbol A, notice” There are six combinations of “effect 4”, “special symbol, notice effect 1”, and “special symbol, notice effect 2”, and a combination of the pseudo-continuous symbol and the notice effect is determined by lottery from the candidates. When a combination of a pseudo-continuous symbol whose symbol is “special symbol” and a notice effect is selected, a transition may be made to the angel zone during the change. Note that the method for determining the combination of the pseudo-continuous symbol and the notice effect is not limited to the time of pseudo continuous variation, and the determination method may be used for other variations. Moreover, the said combination is not limited only to a pseudo | simulation continuous pattern and a notice effect, You may include a background effect, a sound aspect, etc.

  In addition, as a method of determining the notice effect, first, the basic notice effect (the notice effect that can be executed regardless of the background effect being executed, the effect that is executed in the first half of the fluctuation, etc.) is decided. Then, based on the determined basic notice effect, an effect that is not a notice effect such as a background effect is determined, the decided effect (notice effect, background effect, etc.) is executed, and then the decided Based on a basic notice effect and an effect that is not a notice effect such as the determined background effect, an effect that is not determined among the notice effects may be determined (the determination method is repeated a plurality of times). , It may be configured to determine all of the notice effects to be executed by the change). By configuring in this way, it is possible to determine the announcement effect executed by the change at a plurality of timings, and it is caused by determining all the announcement effects executed by the change at one timing. It is possible to alleviate production problems and the like. In this example, (1) “Confirmed stop”: Confirmed stop is executed after a temporary stop, and if the symbol combination that has been confirmed and stopped is a big hit (a set of three identical symbols), the game shifts to a special game. , If it is lost (it is not a set of three of the same design), it will not shift to a special game. (2) “Temporary stop”: The temporary stop is executed before the fixed stop (for example, fluctuation fluctuation), The pseudo-variation can be executed by re-varying after temporarily stopping in the middle of the fluctuation in the symbol fluctuation. (3) When “special symbol” is displayed at the time of pre-reading effect execution, the “special symbol” is determined to be fixed stop It is configured not only to be displayed but also to be displayed as a temporary stop before a fixed stop. In this example, fixed stop and final stop are synonymous, and `` stop '' is used for both fixed stop and temporary stop, but the stop symbol in the variation of the main game symbol is the fixed stop symbol The stop symbol in the decorative symbol variation is used for both the temporary stop symbol and the fixed stop symbol (if the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is “777”, etc., the stop symbol is used) = It is a fixed stop symbol).

  Here, the lower part of the figure is an image diagram showing an example of a notice effect / illustration stop symbol display. As shown in the upper part of the same image diagram, in this example, when transitioning to the angel zone in the change, as a background effect, a normal background effect (an example of a background effect that is not an angel zone background effect) is being executed. The “special symbol” stops as the first middle row temporary stop symbol. In addition, when the “special symbol” is temporarily stopped, the angel zone background effect is executed as the background effect, and then the final stop symbol is stopped. In addition, in this example, although the case where it is a big hit is illustrated, it is configured so that the background effect is similarly switched in the case of a loss. {For the temporary stop of the "special symbol" in this case, The decorative design may be broken (different designs), but may not (be the same design) (= the “special design” may be temporarily stopped after reaching)}.

  In addition, as shown in the middle of the figure, in this example, when other pseudo-continuous fluctuations that do not involve the transition to the Angel Zone are performed (when the Angel Zone Transition lottery is not won), the background effect is a normal background effect. In the situation where is executed, the first middle row temporary stop symbol is “pseudo continuous symbol A” (a temporary stop symbol notifying the player that a pseudo continuous variation different from “special symbol” is being executed. ) Temporarily stops. Next, after the “pseudo continuous symbol A” temporarily stops, the background effect is executed as the normal background effect, and then the final stop symbol is stopped.

  In addition, as shown in the lower part of the image diagram, in this example, when the normal background effect is executed as the background effect, if the winning look-ahead lottery is won while the decorative design is changing, it will stop when the change stops Lost symbols (breaks) stop as symbols. Thereafter, the next change is started, and the “special symbol” is stopped as a stop symbol of the change (that is, the change is a change before entering the pre-reading angel zone). Next, when the “special symbol” is stopped, the angel zone background effect is executed as the background effect from the next change (that is, the next change is the first change in the prefetch zone). In addition, in this example, when the special symbol is stopped and displayed (temporary stop display) in the symbol variation related to the reservation to be digested before the trigger hold, the temporary stop is not performed except for the fixed stop (previous temporary stop). (It is not used in the case of re-variation after a temporary stop as a pseudo-variation stop symbol). In other words, in the symbol variation related to the suspension scheduled to be digested before the trigger suspension, the symbol variation related to the trigger suspension from “the timing when the special symbol is temporarily stopped → the pseudo variation is executed and the symbol variation is lost”. Until the Angel Zone background is displayed, it cannot be executed. As described above, in the second embodiment, the player can stop the “special symbol” by configuring the angel zone background effect in response to the stop (or temporary stop) of the “special symbol”. (Or temporary stop) can be recognized to recognize the transition to the Angel Zone, and not only at the time of change stop (at the time of stop for fixed display) but also at the time of change stop It is possible to have a sense of expectation to stop (or temporarily stop) the symbol.

  As shown in the figure, when the “special symbol” stops as a temporary stop symbol at the time of quasi-continuous fluctuation, the same number stops (temporarily stops) in the left column and the right column (at the time of reach) On the other hand, when the “special symbol” is stopped as the final stop symbol of the next change after the pre-reading lottery win, different numbers (separated eyes) are configured to stop in the left and right columns. Yes.

  Next, FIG. 50 is a flowchart of the background effect control process according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. 43 in the second embodiment. The difference from the present embodiment is step 2506 (second), that is, after setting “angel zone background” as the background effect in step 2504, the background effect display control means in step 2506 (second). SM23 refers to the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and changes (part of the pseudo continuous fluctuation) that triggered the transition to the “angel zone” (or puts them on hold) Whether or not the change that triggered the transition of the “angel zone” (or the change related to the hold is the change related to the hold of the trigger, or the change to the change Angel Zone)} judge. If Yes in step 2506 (second), the process proceeds to step 2508, and if No, the process proceeds to step 2520.

  By configuring as described above, the gaming machine according to the second embodiment has the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol as the decorative symbols, and is configured to be able to execute a so-called hold prefetch effect. When the “special symbol” is stopped and displayed as the first decorative symbol, a background change effect indicating that the expected degree of transition to the special game is increased is executed. And, regarding the hold that becomes the digestion order before the hold (trigger hold) that becomes the trigger of the hold pre-reading effect, “special symbol” is stopped and displayed as the fixed stop symbol at the time of the symbol change of the first decorative symbol at the time of the hold digest In this case, the meaning that the “special symbol” is stopped and displayed in this case is “the symbol variation has ended” and “the expectation of transition to the special game has increased”. On the other hand, regarding the trigger hold, since the “special symbol” can be stopped and displayed as a temporary stop symbol when the symbol of the first decorative symbol changes at the time of the hold-up, the meaning of the “special symbol” being stopped and displayed in this case is , “The design fluctuation will change again” and “the expectation of the transition to the special game has increased”. In this way, in the gaming machine according to the second embodiment, while creating the “special symbol” of the same type, a novel production method is created that has different meanings depending on the timing (or situation) of the stop display. Will be able to.

  In addition, in 2nd Embodiment, regarding the hold | maintenance which becomes the digestion order before a trigger hold | maintenance, when "the special symbol" is stopped and displayed as a fixed stop symbol at the time of the pattern change of the 1st decoration symbol at the time of the hold digest The trigger hold is configured so that the “special symbol” of the same type is displayed when the “special symbol” is stopped and displayed as a temporary stop symbol when the symbol of the first decorative symbol is changed when the trigger is suspended. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the “special symbol” in the former case may be “special symbol A”, and the “special symbol” in the latter case may be “special symbol B”. By comprising in this way, the meaning that the "special symbol" in both is stopped-displayed can be transmitted clearly to a player. Further, the probability that the “special symbol” is displayed in the former case may be configured to be lower than the probability that the “special symbol” is displayed in the latter case.

  Further, in this example, the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol have three symbol rows and one effective line, but there is no problem even if they are changed. For example, (1) “special symbol” (2) The symbol sequence and / or the effective line is increased when the “special symbol” is stopped (for example, the effective line becomes 9 lines). The number of lines decreases (for example, the symbol row becomes 2 rows, and one symbol stops to reach a reach state. The difference in the profit rate attached to the player may be notified by the type of symbol that is stopped and displayed).

(Modification 1 from the second embodiment)
Here, in the second embodiment, the “special symbol” has a different meaning depending on the timing (or situation) when the “special symbol” is stopped and displayed. It is possible to create a more innovative production method by further increasing the linkage with. Therefore, an example of such a configuration is referred to as a first modification from the second embodiment, and only the changes from the second embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 51 is a flowchart of decorative symbol display content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2200 in FIG. 43 in the first modification from the second embodiment. The changes from the second embodiment are step 2220 (second modification 1) to step 2224 (second modification 1), and the purpose of the suspension is that the display mode has changed due to the suspension pre-reading effect. The content of the production is to be configured to be associated with the changed display mode. That is, after determining the decorative design effect content in step 2216 and setting the display update timing and display update content, in step 2220 (second variation 1), the drawing hold information display control means SM22 displays the drawing hold information. Referring to temporary storage means SM22b, it is determined whether or not the hold display mode related to the change is a dedicated effect display mode (a specific hold display mode different from other hold display modes, in this example, red). To do. In the case of Yes in step 2220 (second variation 1), in step 2222 (second variation 1), the notice effect display control means SM24 determines the contents of the notice effect from “dedicated notice effect candidates”. Here, the “exclusive notice effect candidate” is an effect candidate that is selected only in the change related to the hold of the dedicated effect display mode (in this example, red) that is a specific hold display mode. It can be mentioned that a battle effect with a specific enemy character is executed. It should be noted that the symbol variation related to the “exclusive notice effect candidate” is preferably configured so that the big hit expectation is relatively higher than other notice effect candidates. Next, in step 2223 (second variation 1), the notice effect display control means SM24 turns off the angel zone entering flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b. Next, in step 2224 (second variation 1), the decorative symbol display control means SM21 determines the stop symbol (temporary stop symbol) of the first decorative symbol based on the information related to the stop symbol of the main game symbol, and step 2218. Migrate to If step 2220 (second modification 1) is No, the process proceeds to step 2250 (second). Here, if it is configured so that the “special symbol” is easily selected as the stop symbol (temporary stop symbol) of the first decorative symbol, the hold display mode is a dedicated effect display mode, and the first decorative symbol is Interlocking with the fact that the “special symbol” is easily selected as the stop symbol (temporary stop symbol) can be further enhanced.

  By configuring as described above, in the gaming machine according to the first modification from the second embodiment, a dedicated effect display mode (in this example, red) that is a specific hold display mode is reserved as a preview effect candidate. By configuring so that a “dedicated notice effect candidate” that is an effect candidate that is selected only in the variation related to the above can be selected, during the execution of the hold change effect (effect that changes the hold display mode) based on the winning of the pre-read lottery , It is possible to provide a notice effect that is executed only when the display is changed to a specific hold display mode, and by increasing the expectation of jackpot when the effect is executed, the player can change the hold when the hold changes. Attention is paid to the display color (holding change execution mode), and the fun of the game is enhanced. Further, in the first modification from the second embodiment, the effect executed by the symbol variation related to the trigger suspension is not determined when the trigger suspension occurs, but determined when the trigger suspension is completed. By configuring as such, “trigger hold occurs → hold display mode is determined and displayed in the display mode → trigger hold is digested → hold display related to trigger hold” It is possible to configure such that an effect to be executed is determined based on a design variation related to the trigger suspension based on the mode. It should be noted that there is no problem even if the configuration relating to the pending digest transmission image described later is applied to the first modification from the second embodiment.

  In the first modification from the second embodiment, when a hold change effect is executed as a so-called hold prefetching effect, and the hold display form becomes a dedicated effect display form (red in this example), the notice effect contents Is selected from “dedicated notice effect candidates”, but the hold change effect is executed when the “special symbol” is stopped as the stop symbol (temporary stop symbol) of the first decorative symbol. It may be configured to further link the stop of “special symbol”. For example, “special symbol A” and “special symbol B” are provided as “special symbol”, and “special symbol A” stops. In such a case, it may be configured to change to a hold display mode other than red as a hold change effect, while changing to a red hold display mode as a hold change effect when “special symbol B” stops. With such a configuration, it is possible to further enhance the linkage between the so-called reservation pre-reading effect and the “special symbol”.

(Modification 2 from the second embodiment)
Here, in 2nd Embodiment, although it is comprised so that the interlocking | linkage with what may be called a hold prefetching effect and "special symbol" may be raised more, this interlocking | linkage is carried out by the 1st main game side and the 2nd main game side. An example of such a configuration may be referred to as a second modification from the second embodiment, and only the changes from the second embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 52 is a flowchart of a decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of step 2200 in FIG. 43 in the second modification from the second embodiment. The changes from the second embodiment are step 2226 (second), step 2250 (1) (second variation 2) and step 2250 (2) (second variation 2), the purpose of which is the first main The control is to change the selection rate of the “special symbol” in accordance with whether the symbol changes on the game side or the symbol variation on the second main game side. That is, after the decoration design effect content is determined in step 2216 and the display update timing and the display update content are set, in step 2226 (second modification 2), the drawing display content determination means SM21n temporarily stores the main side information. With reference to the means SM11b, it is determined whether or not the symbol variation is a symbol variation on the first main game side. In the case of Yes in step 2226 (second variation 2), in step 2250 (1) (second variation 2), the drawing display content determination means SM21n determines the first main game notice effect / illustration stop symbol, which will be described later. The process is executed, and the process proceeds to Step 2218. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2226 (second variation 2), in step 2250 (2) (second variation 2), the drawing display content determination means SM21n stops the second main game notice effect / illustration stop, which will be described later. The symbol determination process is executed, and the process proceeds to Step 2218.

  Next, FIG. 53 shows a first main game notice effect / illustration stop symbol determination process according to the subroutine of step 2250 (1) (second modification 2) in FIG. 52 in the second modification from the second embodiment. It is a flowchart of. The processing of this subroutine is the same processing as the notice effect / illustration stop symbol determination processing in step 2250 (second), and thus the description thereof is omitted. In the second embodiment, the same process is executed on the first main game side and the second main game side in the second embodiment, but in the second modification from the second embodiment, The purpose is to execute separate processing on the first main game side and the second main game side.

  Next, FIG. 54 is a second main game notice effect / illustration stop symbol determination process according to the subroutine of step 2250 (2) (second modification 2) in FIG. 52 in the second modification from the second embodiment. It is a flowchart of. The processing of this subroutine is similar to the notice effect / design stop symbol determination processing of step 2250 (second), and therefore only the differences from the processing will be described in detail. The difference from the notice effect / illustration stop symbol determination process in step 2250 (second) is step 2286 (second modification 2) and step 2288 (second modification 2). When there is no trigger hold in step 2286 (second change 2), the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b, and the change is related to the group C. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2286 (second variable 2), in step 2272, the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b, and is the fluctuation a fluctuation in which pseudo continuous fluctuation is executed? Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2272, in step 2288 (second variation 2), the notice effect display control means SM24 is the predetermined probability (the first main game side angel zone transition lottery winning rate executed in step 2274 is 1). An angel zone shift lottery that is won at 1/30) is executed in this example, and the process proceeds to step 2276. In addition, when it is No at step 2286 (second modification 2), the routine proceeds to step 2282.

  With the configuration as described above, in the gaming machine according to the modified example 2 from the second embodiment, the angel zone transition lottery (pseudo) is performed based on the symbol variation on the first main game side and the symbol variation on the second main game side. By making the “special symbol” temporarily stop by continuous variation and making the winning probability of the lottery (whether or not the angel zone background is displayed as a background effect) be different, the symbol variation on the first main game side Depending on whether there is symbol variation on the second main game side, it becomes possible to change the selection rate of the “special symbol” in the first decorative symbol, so that the symbol variation on the first main game side It is possible to expand the range of the production and enhance the interest in the production by making the accompanying production tendency different from the production tendency accompanying the symbol variation on the second main game side.

  In the second modification from the second embodiment, the second main game hold cannot be a trigger hold in the non-time-reduced gaming state, and therefore the second main game hold is not in the non-time-reduced gaming state. The hold prefetch effect for the game side hold is not executed. Therefore, in the non-time-reduced gaming state, the appearance rate of the “special symbol” related to the reserved pre-reading effect on the first main game side and the appearance rate of the “special symbol” related to the reserved pre-reading effect on the second main game side are compared. Even so, the appearance rates are different (the first main game side is higher). Furthermore, as described above, whether the lottery probability for temporarily stopping the “special symbol” by pseudo continuous variation is the symbol variation on the first main game side or the symbol variation on the second main game side Depending on the situation (the “special symbol” temporarily stops with a higher probability depending on the symbol variation on the first main game side), and whether the trigger hold is also on hold on the first main game side Depends on whether the hold is on the second main game side (the hold on the first main game side is more likely to be a trigger hold), so a trigger hold occurs → Hold on hold digested before the trigger hold “Special symbol” is fixedly displayed at the time of digestion (so-called hold pre-reading effect is executed) → “Special symbol” is temporarily stopped (so-called pseudo-continuous variation is executed) at the time of trigger hold on-hold digestion The probability that a series of production flows will also occur in the first main game It is also possible to configure so that the direction of the high-probability than the second main player side. In addition, in the non-time-reduced gaming state, the appearance rate of the symbol variation in which the “special symbol” temporarily stops due to the pseudo continuous variation in the symbol variation related to the first main game symbol and the pseudo continuous in the symbol variation related to the second main game symbol. The difference between the appearance rate of the symbol variation where the “special symbol” temporarily stops due to the variation, the appearance rate of the “special symbol” as the look-ahead effect in the symbol variation related to the first main game symbol, and the second main game symbol When the difference from the appearance rate of the “special symbol” as the pre-reading effect in the symbol variation is compared, the difference relating to the pseudo continuous variation (the former difference) is smaller.

  In this example, (1) the selection probability (appearance rate) of “special symbol” may be the same on the first main game side and the second main game side. When the second main game hold is present, the “special symbol” related to the pre-reading effect does not appear due to the fluctuation of the second main game design. (3) There is a big hit hold in the first main game hold. The “special symbol” related to the pre-reading effect may appear in the variation of the first main game symbol. (4) “special symbol” related to the pseudo continuous variation in the case of the variation that becomes the big hit of the second main game symbol. (5) In the case of a variation that becomes a big hit of the first main game symbol, a “special symbol” related to pseudo-continuous variation may or may not appear. Further, in the second modification from the second embodiment, the “special symbol” is configured to appear at the time of the pre-reading effect or at the time of the pseudo continuous variation, but the “special symbol A” can appear only at the time of the pre-reading effect. “Special symbol” and “special symbol B” are “special symbols” that can appear only during pseudo-continuous fluctuation, and the appearance rates of “special symbol A” and “special symbol B” are compared, and the second main game symbol It may be configured such that “special symbol A” does not appear in variation, “special symbol B” has a low appearance rate in variation of the second main game symbol, and the like.

(Modification 3 from the second embodiment)
Here, in the second embodiment, as the so-called hold pre-reading effect, the background change effect and the hold change effect are configured to be executable, but a new game is created by changing the execution mode of the hold pre-reading effect. It is possible. Thus, an example of such a configuration is referred to as a third modification from the second embodiment, and only the changes from the second embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 55 is a main flowchart on the sub control board S side (particularly on the sub main control unit SM side) in the third modification from the second embodiment. The changes from the second embodiment are step 2700 (second modification 3) and step 2750 (second modification 3), that is, after executing the decorative symbol display content determination process in step 2200, step 2700 (second modification 3). In the second modification 3), the sub-control board S executes a hold display mode change control process, which will be described later. Next, in step 2750 (second modification 3), the sub control board S executes a pending digest transmission image display control process, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 2300.

  Next, FIG. 56 is a flowchart of the hold information management process according to the subroutine of step 2100 in FIG. 55 in the third modification from the second embodiment. The change from the second embodiment is step 2130 (second modification 3), and the purpose is to notify that the certain hold is being digested (the symbol is changing) at the time of digestion of a certain hold. It is to make it possible to display the image. That is, after subtracting 1 from the drawing hold counter value in step 2112, in step 2130 (second variation 3), the drawing hold information display control means SM22 displays the hold information (particularly the display mode) related to the symbol variation. And “variation mode group information”, “pending digest transmission image information” {the pending display of the suspended digest to be digested according to the starting variation, during the starting variation (the starting variation starts, As information related to “pending digestion transmission image” to be displayed continuously after digestion}, it is temporarily stored (overwritten and stored) in the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and the process proceeds to Step 2128 (second). To do. In the third modification from the second embodiment, the second main game winning prefetch determination process is deleted (the prefetch lottery is executed only on the first main game side).

  Next, FIG. 57 is a flowchart of the first main game winning prefetch determination processing according to the subroutine of Step 2550 (second modified 3) in FIG. 56 in Modification 3 from the second embodiment. Here, this process will be described in two parts: a process related to the prohibition condition of the pre-read lottery and a process related to the pre-read lottery. In the processing related to the prohibition condition of the former prefetch lottery, first, in step 2580, the hold prefetch effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the new hold is the second main game. It is determined whether or not it is a holding (holding that is digested with priority over the first main game holding). In the case of Yes in step 2580, in step 2582, the hold prefetch effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not the current gaming state is not the time reduction gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2584, in step 2586, the hold prefetch effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the hold change mode group before the new hold becomes the group 1 hold. It is determined whether or not there is no hold that becomes a big hit before the new hold, a hold that can be a long fluctuation time, or a trigger hold. If Yes in step 2584, the process proceeds to step 2586.

  Next, in the process relating to the latter prefetch lottery, first, in step 2586, the hold prefetch effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the new hold variation mode group is determined. Determining whether or not it is group 3 {even if the variation related to the hold whose change mode group is group 3 is a large number of hold at the start of the change (for example, the number of hold is 2 or 3) A relatively long variation time}. In the case of Yes in step 2586, in step 2588, the hold prefetch effect execution possibility determination means SM26k has a predetermined probability (for example, 2/3 if the hold is a big hit hold, 1/8 if the hold is a loss hold). A pre-read lottery is performed when winning a prize. Next, in step 2590, the pending pre-reading effect execution availability determination means SM26k determines whether or not the winning pre-read lottery is won. In the case of Yes in step 2590, in step 2591, the hold pre-reading effect execution availability determination means SM26k adds information indicating “trigger hold” to the new hold selected in the winning pre-read lottery and holds the hold display. The mode is determined to be “yellow zako hold” and stored in the hold information temporary storage area of the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Here, the trigger hold is a hold that has been won in the winning look-ahead lottery, and is a hold in which the display mode of the hold can be different from the normal hold. Next, in step 2592, the hold pre-reading effect execution availability determination means SM26k determines whether or not the new hold (trigger hold) is held and the hold change plan until the trigger hold is digested based on the current hold number ( For example, the execution plan of the production such as green zako hold at the start of the next change, change to red zako hold at the start of the change, etc.) is determined and stored in the hold information temporary storage area of the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, The process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2118).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2580 (when the new hold is the second main game hold), in step 2596, the hold prefetch effect execution availability determination means SM26k is temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Information indicating “trigger hold” is deleted from the information related to the first main game hold that has been made (if there is no hold with information indicating that the trigger is on hold, this processing is executed Without moving to the next process), the hold display mode is changed to “normal hold” (for example, white hold) and stored in the hold information temporary storage area of the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and step 2594 Migrate to Note that if the answer is No in Step 2582, Step 2584, Step 2586, or 2590, the process proceeds to Step 2594.

  Next, in step 2594, the hold pre-reading effect execution availability determination means SM26k determines that the new hold display mode of the hold is “normal hold” (for example, white hold), and stores the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. The information is stored in the hold information temporary storage area, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2118). Here, the processing of step 2596 and step 2594 is newly generated in the second main game side priority digestion gaming machine as in this example when there is a hold on the second main game side (occurrence). Since the second main game side is digested first, the planned order of change is not achieved, and a prefetch effect (eg, a hold display mode change effect based on the hold change plan) is not normally executed over a plurality of changes. It is the structure for avoiding.

  Next, FIG. 58 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of Step 2200 in FIG. 55 in Modification 3 from the second embodiment. Changes from the second embodiment are step 2208 (second modification 3), step 2222 (second modification 3) to step 2226 (second modification 3), and step 2228 (second modification 3). In step 2206 (second), after the variation pattern of the first decorative design is determined, in step 2208 (second variation 3), the drawing display content determination means SM21n (and the notice effect display content determination means SM24n, reach effect display) The content determination means SM25n) refers to the drawing variation content determination lottery table SM21ta, and when the variation mode of the second decorative symbol {for example, the variation mode related to the main game symbol is a short-time variation, If the reach is long-term fluctuation, normal reach, super reach, etc. are determined, and the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b (and the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM) are determined. 4b, temporarily stored in the reach demonstration related information temporary storage means SM25b). Next, in step 2216, the drawing display content determination means SM21n determines whether the main game symbol is temporarily stored in the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b and the decoration result (first decoration symbol and second decoration symbol). Based on the variation mode, the decorative design effect content is determined with reference to the decorative design effect table SM21ta-2 (for example, the decorative design effect table 1 to the decorative design effect table 2) in the drawing change content determination lottery table SM21ta, The display update timing and display update contents are set, and temporarily stored in the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2222 (second modification 3), the drawing display content determination means SM21n draws and determines the content of the notice effect to be executed during the change. Here, as shown in the notice content image diagram on the right side of the figure, in this example, the content of the notice effect that can be executed differs depending on the image (so-called stay stage) set as the background effect. The lottery for the announcement effect to be executed may be executed on the basis of an appropriate random number acquired on the sub main control unit SM side, the result of the change, the winning symbol, the change time, or the like. Here, the content of the notice effect provided with a star in the image diagram is the specific notice effect in this example, and is configured such that a different specific notice effect can be executed based on the stay stage (specific notice effect) Will be described later in the processing). Further, the content of the notice effect (in this example, an effect that can be executed before the reach effect or the like) is not limited to this, and for example, a pseudo-continuous effect (an effect in which pseudo continuous variation is executed) can be executed. (In that case, the hold digest transmission image and the display mode of the hold described later in the pseudo continuous effect may be changed, or the hold digest transmission image described later by the notice effect executed during the pseudo continuous effect) Or the display mode of the hold may be changed).

  Next, in step 2224 (second modification 3), the drawing display content determination means SM21n refers to the “pending digest transmission image information” temporarily stored in the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and the fluctuation is determined. It is determined whether the change is related to the trigger hold. In the case of Yes in step 2224 (second modification 3), in step 2226 (second modification 3), the drawing display content determination means SM21n displays the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b (or the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b). ), Based on the “pending digest transmission image information” regarding the validity, variation mode, or notice effect related to the variation, the suspended digest transmission image change plan (for example, when the pseudo-simultaneous symbols are stopped: yellow zako hold → green zako The button is repeatedly pressed during hold and reach: execution plan of effect such as change from green Zako hold to red star hold) is stored in the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and the process proceeds to Step 2218. Note that if the result is No in step 2224 (second modification 3), the process proceeds to step 2218.

  Next, in step 2218 and step 2228 (second modification 3), the drawing display content determination means SM21n turns on the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21. Then, the on-hold display mode changing process execution flag is turned on, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2300).

  Next, FIG. 59 is a flowchart of the hold display mode change control process according to the subroutine of Step 2700 (second modification 3) of FIG. 55 in Modification 3 from the second embodiment. First, in step 2702, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the flag area of the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and determines whether or not the on-hold display mode change processing execution flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2702, in step 2704, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not the current gaming state is not the time-saving gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2704, in step 2706, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b and determines whether there is a trigger hold in the hold. If Yes in step 2706, in step 2708, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 confirms the hold change plan stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Next, in step 2710, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 determines whether or not the hold display mode is scheduled to be changed during the change based on the hold change plan.

  In the case of Yes in step 2710, in step 2712, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and the specific notice effect (see FIG. 49) during the notice effect executed during the change. ) Is determined. In the case of Yes in step 2712, in step 2714, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 is based on the notice mode temporarily stored in the first figure change time management timer SM21t-1 and the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b. Then, it is determined whether or not the execution timing of the specific notice effect has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2714, the process proceeds to step 2718 (the hold display mode is changed in accordance with the execution of the specific notice effect).

  Here, FIG. 60 is an image of change in hold in the specific notice effect. In this example, an explanation will be given by taking an example in which the display mode of the hold is changed by a grassland notice in a flat zone (especially, a grassland notice in which a snake as a specific notice effect appears). First, in a state where there is a trigger hold in the hold, the fluctuation related to the hold before the trigger hold starts {in this example, the display mode of the trigger hold at this time is the normal hold (white hold)}.

  Next, the grass spot notice which is the notice effect during the change is executed, and an image for searching for something by scraping the grass spot is displayed.

  Next, an image is displayed in which a snake appears (because the expectation that is a big hit during the change is “low”) from behind the grass.

  Here, when there is no plan to change the hold display during the change, an image in which the snake appearing from behind the grass leaves the screen is displayed, and the notice effect is ended.

  On the other hand, if there is a plan to change the hold display during the change, unlike the above case, an image is displayed in which the snake that appears from behind the grass jumps into the hold (the trigger hold that is normally held at this time). The Thereafter, the display mode of the hold (trigger hold) in which the snake jumped in is changed and displayed in a hold display mode (Zako hold in this example) different from the normal hold. In addition, you may comprise so that the production | generation (what is called a gaze production | presentation) which does not change the display mode of a hold | maintenance may be performed even if the said specific notice production | presentation is performed.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2712 (when the specific notice effect is not executed during the change), in step 2716, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 can execute the general-purpose hold change effect (can be executed independently of other effects). In addition, it is an effect that can be executed in any effect stage. For example, a command for displaying an effect that explodes on hold is set (transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process in step 2999). Then, the process proceeds to step 2718.

  Next, at step 2718, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 changes the display mode of the trigger hold based on the hold change plan stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the drawing hold information is displayed. Store in the temporary storage means SM22b. Next, in step 2720, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 turns off the on-hold display mode change processing execution flag in the flag area of the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the next process {step 2750 The process proceeds to (Process 2). In the case of No in step 2704, step 2706, or step 2710, the process proceeds to step 2720, and in the case of No in step 2702 or step 2714, the next process {the process of step 2750 (second modified 3)} is performed. Transition.

  Next, FIG. 61 is a flowchart of the pending digest transmission image display process according to the subroutine of Step 2750 (second modification 3) of FIG. 55 in Modification 3 from the second embodiment. First, in step 2752, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the symbol changing flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2752, in step 2754, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and whether or not the hold digest transmission image display flag is off. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 2754, in step 2756, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 displays the hold digest transmission image based on the hold digest transmission image information temporarily stored in the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b. (Initial display mode) is determined. Here, the hold digest transmission image is an image that continuously displays the hold related to the change even during the change (after the change starts and the hold related to the change is digested). . By displaying the hold digest transmission image, the player can easily recognize that the change is a change related to Zako hold even during a change related to hold (for example, Zako hold) whose display mode has changed within the hold. During the change, an effect of changing the display mode of the pending digest transmission image can be executed.

  Next, in step 2758, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 turns on the hold digest transmission image display flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and proceeds to step 2760. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 2754, the process proceeds to step 2760.

  Next, in step 2760, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b and confirms the hold digest transmission image change plan. Next, in step 2762, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 determines whether or not there is a plan to change or delete the display mode of the hold digest transmission image during the change based on the hold digest transmission image change plan. To do. In the case of Yes in step 2762, in step 2764, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 displays the hold digest transmission image display mode based on the first drawing variation time management timer SM21t-1 and the hold digest transmission image change plan. It is determined whether or not the change timing has been reached (for example, at the start of re-variation after the pseudo-continuous symbol temporary stop display, at the time of execution of a predetermined effect, or at a predetermined period during reach effect). In the case of Yes in step 2764, in step 2766, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 sets the hold digest transmission image display mode change condition (for example, pressing of the sub input button during the predetermined period, the maximum number of hold, etc.) It is determined whether or not the above is satisfied. In the case of Yes in step 2766, in step 2768 and step 2770, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 sets a command for displaying a general-purpose hold change effect (for example, an effect that the hold explodes) (display command transmission in step 2999). Is transmitted to the sub-sub-control unit SS in the control process), and the display mode of the reserved digest transmission image is changed based on the reserved digest transmission image change plan (for example, red star hold, green zako hold, no display, etc. Change to the display mode) and store it in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the process proceeds to Step 2780. Note that if the answer is No in step 2762 or step 2766, the process proceeds to step 2780.

  Here, FIG. 62 is an image diagram of a change in the pending digest transmission image. The change in the display mode of the pending digest transmission image in the third modification from the second embodiment is configured to be executed in the flow illustrated in FIG. In this example, a pattern in which the battle effect does not end in the first half but shifts (develops) to the battle effect (second half) is illustrated. First, the fluctuation related to the trigger hold (currently Zako hold) starts, and Zako hold is displayed as a hold digest transmission image.

  Next, a battle effect (first half) is executed as the effect during the change. In this example, when the hold digest transmission image is Zako hold, the display mode of the Zako hold can be changed by pressing the sub input button a predetermined number of times during execution of the battle effect (first half) in the change. It is configured. In this example, a predetermined effect can be executed by pressing the sub input button during execution of the battle effect (first half), but an effect that prompts the player's operation (pressing the sub input button) Since it is not particularly executed, the operation of the sub input button is an input of a so-called hidden command (back button).

  If you press the button repeatedly (press the sub-input button a predetermined number of times) during the execution of the battle production (first half), each time you press the sub-input button, an attack is applied to the Zako hold displayed as the hold digest transmission image The effect image is displayed.

  Next, when the number of times the sub input button is pressed in the battle effect (the first half) reaches a predetermined number, an image of exploding Zako hold that is a reserved digest transmission image is displayed, and based on the reserved digest transmission image change plan, The display mode of the hold digest transmission image is changed and displayed (for example, the display mode of the hold is changed to red star hold or no display). Even after the transition to the battle effect (second half), the reserved digest transmission image will be displayed (or not displayed) in the display mode after the display mode is changed {the player who enters the hidden command Since there is an intention of predicting the jackpot expectation degree of the fluctuation depending on the display mode of the transmission image, the suspended digest transmission image is continuously displayed in the display mode after the display mode change even after shifting to the battle effect (second half). }.

  On the other hand, if the button is not repeatedly hit in the battle effect (first half) (or the number of consecutive hits is less than the predetermined number), the Zako hold, which is the hold digest transmission image, will automatically explode at the timing of shifting to the battle effect (second half). An image is displayed and the display of the pending digest transmission image is erased. (Don't dare to press the button, so that the player who enjoys not expecting the big hit expectation of the change, the pending digest transmission image change plan is considered. The display is erased regardless of the content of). In this example, the expectation degree of jackpot holding for Zako is medium, and the expectation degree for hitting red star is high. In addition, when the battle effect (the second half) is executed, the big hit expectation degree increases at a stretch as compared with the case where the battle effect (the first half) is executed. Here, in the situation where the jackpot expectation level has risen due to the transition to the battle stage (second half), if the display of Zako hold with a medium level of jackpot expectation level is continued, the battle stage is a stage effect with a high level of jackpot expectation level. Although it may impair the interest of the (second half), a stage with a high degree of expectation {this example, battle stage (second half)} is not expected at the timing of the start (in this example Zako hold) By erasing, such a situation can be avoided. Although not particularly illustrated in this example, even if the number of times the sub input button is pressed is less than the predetermined number, the display status change timing of the pending digest transmission image is based on the pending digest transmission image change plan. You may comprise so that the display mode of a pending | holding digestion transmission image can be changed automatically. In such a configuration, for example, the display mode of the pending digestion transmission image is automatically changed only when a change to a display mode that suggests that the degree of expectation of jackpot in the fluctuation is high is scheduled. You may comprise. In addition, when the button is not repeatedly hit (or the hit count is less than the predetermined number), the display mode of the pending digest transmission image is automatically changed at a predetermined timing only when the fluctuation is a big hit or a probable big hit. It may be configured as described above (so-called accurate production can be executed).

  In addition, when transitioning to the battle production (second half) without going through the battle production (first half) {for example, start of drawing change (all rows) → notification production 1, display temporary stop display (left column) → provision of drawing Stop display (right column) → Reach development → Battle reach (second half) image display → Drawing temporary stop display (middle row) → Execution depending on the result → Drawing confirmation display (all columns) , I.e., in the case where there is no period {in this example, a battle production (first half)} and there is a transition to the battle production (second half), the timing of the transition to the battle production (second half) Thus, the Zako hold, which is the hold digest transmission image, automatically explodes, and the display mode of the hold digest transmission image is changed and displayed based on the hold digest transmission image change plan. Although not particularly illustrated in this example, the number of times the sub input button is pressed to change the display mode of the hold digest transmission image has a high degree of expectation for jackpot in the fluctuation (the hold display mode with high expectation) It may be configured so that a larger number of times is more likely to be selected. Although not specifically shown in this example, when the display mode of the reserved digest transmission image changes, in addition to the general-purpose hold change effect, an effect suggesting the content of the change (for example, when Zako hold explodes) It may be configured to execute a disapproval notice to issue a line. The contents suggested by the ending magic notice suggest the jackpot expectation degree of the fluctuation and the production contents scheduled to be executed (for example, “Achichi!” = 60% or more expectation degree of jackpot expectation, “Congratulations!” = If the player does not press the sub input button, the jackpot expectation related to the change is calculated. It is preferable to assume that the player does not think that he / she wants to predict and does not execute the end-of-flight advance notice related to the big hit expectation degree of the change (only the end-of-use advance notice related to the performance contents scheduled to be executed can be executed). . That is, only when the display mode of the pending digest transmission image is changed by the player's operation, the notice effect related to the big hit expectation degree of the change may be executed based on the result of the change. It should be noted that the effect of the battle effect (first half) can be executed at “a4” and “b4”, which have a fluctuation time of 30 seconds.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, in the case of No in step 2764 (when it is not the timing to change the display mode of the pending digest transmission image), in step 2772, the drawing suspension information display control means SM22 displays the display mode of the pending digest transmission image. It is determined whether or not it is time to erase the. In the case of Yes in step 2772, in step 2774, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 displays the display state deletion condition of the hold digest transmission image (for example, the sub input button is not pressed during the predetermined period, the number of times the sub input button is pressed). Is less than a predetermined number of times, etc.). In the case of Yes in step 2774, in step 2776 and step 2778, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 sets a command for displaying a general-purpose hold change effect (for example, an effect in which the hold explodes) (display command transmission in step 2999). Sent to the sub-sub control unit SS in the control process), and the display mode of the pending digest transmission image is changed to "no display" (regardless of the content of the pending digest transmission image change plan, it is changed to "no display") ) Temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the process proceeds to step 2780.

  Next, in step 2780, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 sets a command for displaying the hold digest transmission image based on the display mode of the hold digest transmission image temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. (Sent to the sub-sub control unit SS in the display command transmission control process in step 2999), and proceeds to the next process (process in step 2300). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2752, in step 2782, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 turns off the pending digest transmission image display flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. . Next, in step 2784, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 changes the display mode of the hold digest transmission image to “no display” and temporarily stores it in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Next, in step 2786, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 displays the hold digest transmission image based on the display mode of the hold digest transmission image temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b (this process). Then, a command to be used to hide the pending digest transmission image is set (sent to the sub-sub control unit SS in the display command transmission control process in step 2999), and the next process (process in step 2300) Migrate to

  In the third modification from the second embodiment, the reserved digest transmission image is configured to be displayed. However, the reserved digest transmission image may not always be displayed. The hold digest transmission image corresponding to the hold that has been digested as it is may not be displayed, and the hold digest transmission image corresponding to the hold in which the hold display mode is changed from the normal hold may be displayed. By configuring as such, the player confirms the reserved digest transmission image at the timing when the player wants to know the expected success rate of the symbol variation, and if the reserved digest transmission image is displayed, the expectation is relatively high, If it is not displayed, it can be easily recognized that the degree of expectation is relatively low.

  Next, FIG. 63 is a flowchart of the background effect control process according to the subroutine of Step 2500 in FIG. 46 in Modification Example 3 from the second embodiment. Changes from the second embodiment are step 2524 (second modification 3) to step 2534 (second modification 3), that is, if the angel zone flag is off in step 2502, step 2524 (second modification). In the second modification 3), the background effect display control means SM23 changes the decorative design based on the first design change time management timer SM21t-1 and the change mode temporarily stored in the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. It is determined whether or not the start timing has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2524 (second modification 3), in step 2526 (second modification 3), the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b and holds the trigger within the hold {as described above. It is determined whether or not there is a hold for the pre-drawing lottery at the time of the first main game winning. In the case of Yes in step 2526 (second variation 3), in step 2528 (second variation 3), the background effect display control means SM23 executes an angel zone transition lottery to win with a predetermined probability (1/3 in this example). To do. Next, in step 2530 (second variation 3), the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the lottery result in step 2528 (second variation 3) and determines whether or not the angel zone transition lottery has been won. . In the case of Yes in step 2530 (second modification 3), in step 2532 (second modification 3), the background effect display control means SM23 displays the angel zone flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b. Turn on and go to step 2504.

  In step 2504, “angel zone background” is set as the background effect. Then, in step 2534 (second modification 3), the background effect display control means SM23 stores the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b and the drawing hold information temporarily. Referring to the storage means SM22b, it is determined whether or not the symbol variation related to the trigger suspension has ended. If Yes in step 2534 (second modification 3), the process proceeds to step 2508, and if No, the process proceeds to step 2520.

  With the configuration as described above, according to the gaming machine according to the third modification from the second embodiment, the sub-main control for the high-expected hold (especially the hold on the first main game side) that is a big hit. The display mode of the hold on the part SM side can be changed and displayed, and when a predetermined notice effect (in this example, a specific notice effect, especially a low expectation notice effect) is executed, In accordance with the notice effect and the movement of the displayed image, the display mode of the hold can be changed and displayed. As a result, even if it is a notice effect with a low expectation degree of big hit in the fluctuation, the display mode of the hold may be changed, so that the player's interest in the notice effect can be increased and the fun of the game is improved. It becomes possible. Also, when the jackpot expectation rises after the transition to the battle stage (second half), if the display of Zako hold with a medium jackpot expectation level is continued, the battle stage is a stage effect with a high jackpot expectation level. Since there is a possibility that the interest of the (second half) may be impaired, even if there is no operation by the player, a high-expected production (in this example, battle production (second half)) is started at a timing when the expectation is not high ( In this example, Zako hold) is not displayed, and the interest of the production can be prevented from being impaired. In addition, it is a condition that the player performs a predetermined operation (for example, pressing the sub input button SB a predetermined number of times) during a period in which the predetermined effect {eg, battle reach (first half)} is being performed. Since the display mode of the pending digest transmission image can be changed, it can be a player participation type effect, and the player who does not want to know the jackpot expectation level of the change by the effect can perform the predetermined operation. By not, it is possible to provide a game that can be selected such that the display mode of the reserved digest transmission image becomes an effect that does not suggest the degree of expectation of jackpot (for example, deletion of the reserved digest transmission image).

  In the third modification from the second embodiment, the background change effect and the hold change effect are provided as the prefetch effects, and only the hold change effect is configured to be executed a plurality of times during the prefetch effect. The background change effect may be executed a plurality of times during execution of the prefetch effect (for example, it may change to the “true angel zone background” even after the change to the “angel zone background”). In such a configuration, the more the background change effect is executed (the more the number of executions is), the higher the expectation level that is a big hit in the change related to the prefetch effect being executed (rank). It is desirable to configure so that It should be noted that the background change effect does not change (does not rank up) during execution of symbol variation related to the trigger hold.

(Third embodiment)
Here, in the above-described embodiment, the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are configured to start and stop varying almost simultaneously with the main game symbol, but the variation pattern of the decorative symbol is not limited to this. . Therefore, an example of such a configuration is referred to as a third embodiment, and only differences from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  In addition, in 3rd Embodiment, it has the specific area | region C22 which is an area | region used as a transition opportunity of a probability fluctuation | variation game state by entering a ball in the 2nd big winning opening C20.

  First, FIG. 64 (main game table 1 and main game table 2) shows the first main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-A (second main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-B) and the first in the third embodiment. It is an example of a main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-A (second main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-B). The difference from this embodiment is that the big hit probability in the probability variation gaming state is low, and the short open big hit and the long open big hit are provided as the big hit. Here, the short open big hit is the second big prize opening C20 in a short time (for example, 0.1%) in the distribution game execution round during the big hit (the second big prize opening C20 will be opened). 2) is a big hit that is only open, and the long open big hit is the second big prize opening C20 for a long time in the distribution game execution round (the second big prize opening C20 will be opened) during the big hit. A jackpot that can be opened (for example, 30 seconds). Note that in the third embodiment, the game characteristics such that the game ball enters the specific area C22 during the above-described distribution game execution round and shifts to the probability-variable game state after the execution of the special game being executed. (So-called tamaki machine).

  Next, FIGS. 65 and 66 (main game table 3) are examples of the first main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A (second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B). The difference from this embodiment is that both the first main game side and the second main game side are tables that are referred to when lost and time-reduced game state. And “1 to 3” are configured so that the contents of the table are different. In the third embodiment, among the variation modes of the second main game symbol selected in the time-reduced game state, “b0 (1 second)” is a short variation, and the other variation modes are long variations. Depending on whether the variation mode of the second main game symbol is a short variation or a long variation, the method for determining the variation mode of the decorative symbol (particularly the first decorative symbol) is configured to be different (details will be described later). . In the time-reduced game state, the game is mainly progressed on the second main game side (only the symbol variation on the second main game side is executed in order to progress the game on the right hand, Or, the variation of the second main game symbol is easier to be executed than the variation of the first main game symbol).

  In addition, as will be described in detail later, in the time-reduced gaming state, the variation time of the second decorative symbol is configured to be the same as the variation time of the second main gaming symbol. The variation time of the two decorative symbols is also determined depending on the number of reservations at the start of the symbol variation (may differ depending on the number of reservations).

  Although not shown, in the third embodiment, in the time-reduced game state, the game proceeds mainly on the second main game side (the game proceeds on the right hand, so the second main game progresses). Since only the game side symbol variation is executed), the first main game hold will not basically occur. Therefore, the variation mode determination table content related to the first main game symbol in the time-reduced gaming state is In such a case, the content may have only one type of variation time for a short time (for example, 3 seconds), and in the case of big hit, the content may have only one type of variation time for a long time (for example, 30 seconds). Since the symbol variation of the first main game symbol in the shortened gaming state is irregular symbol variation, there is no problem even if the content of the variation mode determination table is simple. In addition, in order to cause the second main game suspension during irregular symbol variation, the contents of the variation mode determination table related to the first main game symbol related to the loss in the time-reduced gaming state are displayed for a short time regardless of the number of suspensions. It is also possible to configure so that the fluctuation mode is not selected (for example, the fluctuation time is all 5 seconds or more). The number of holds shown in the figure is not the total number of the first main game hold and the second main game hold, but is the first main game change mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A. In the case of the second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B, it is the second main game hold number.

  Next, FIG. 67 is a flowchart of specific game end determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1450 of FIG. 5 in the third embodiment. The difference from this embodiment is step 1454 (third) to step 1464 (third), and the purpose is to end the probability variation gaming state by the number of times of variation of the main game symbol (to change to the non-probability variation gaming state). To migrate). That is, in step 1454 (third), the specific game control means MP50 refers to the probability variation counter MP51c and determines whether or not the counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1454 (third), in step 1456 (third), the specific game control means MP50 decrements (decrements) 1 from the count value of the probability variation counter MP51c. Next, in step 1458 (third), the specific game control means MP50 refers to the probability variation counter MP51c and determines whether or not the counter value is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1458 (third), in step 1460 (third), the specific game control means MP50 turns off the main game probability change flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Next, at step 1462 (third), the specific game control means MP50 turns off the main game short time flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Next, in step 1464 (third), the specific game control means MP50 turns off the auxiliary game short time flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and proceeds to step 1470. Note that if the result is No in step 1454 (third) or step 1458 (third), the process proceeds to step 1470. In the pachinko gaming machine according to the third embodiment, the symbol variation is executed in the probability variation gaming state, and the probability variation gaming state ends when the count value of the probability variation counter MP51c becomes 0 (so-called ST). Although it is configured, it is not limited to this, for example, it is configured so that the probability variation game state does not end depending on the number of symbol variations (can be terminated when the special game is won), and the big hit related to the first main game The ratio of the big hits related to the second main game to the long open big hits is higher than the ratio of the long open big hits, and the short hit big hits related to the second main games may exist. Good.

  Next, FIG. 68 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 of FIG. 5 in the third embodiment. The difference from this embodiment is Step 1611 (third), Step 1700 (third) and Step 1650 (third), that is, after setting the special game start display instruction command in Step 1608, or If the special game execution flag is ON in step 1610, the special game control means MP30 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b in step 1611 (third), and the currently executed round is assigned to the allocated game. It is determined whether or not it is an execution round (a round in which the second big prize opening C20 having the specific area C22 is to be opened, in this example, 2R · 4R). In the case of Yes in step 1611 (third), in step 1700 (third), the special game control means MP30 executes a distribution game execution process, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 1634. On the other hand, if step 1611 (third) is No, the process proceeds to step 1612. Also, after setting a special game end display instruction command in step 1638, in step 1650 (third), the special game control means MP30 executes a game state determination process after the end of special game, which will be described later, and The process proceeds to the process (step 1997).

  Next, FIG. 69 is a flowchart of the distribution game execution process according to the subroutine of step 1700 (third) in FIG. 68 in the third embodiment. First, at step 1702, the allocated game execution control means MP36 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the allocated game execution flag is on. If Yes in step 1702, the process proceeds to step 1716. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1702, in step 1704, the distribution game execution control means MP36 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and the main game symbol that is stopped is the long open symbol (7A, 4B, 5B and 7B, and the second main game jackpot symbol is a long open symbol). In the case of Yes in step 1704, in step 1706, the distribution game execution control means MP36 uses a long open pattern (for example, 30 seconds open as the open pattern of the second big prize opening C20 having the specific area C22, An opening pattern designed so as to make the entry into the specific area C22 deterministic is set, and the process proceeds to Step 1710. In the case of No in step 1704, in step 1708, the allocation game execution control means MP36 uses the short release pattern (for example, release for 0.1 second) as the release pattern of the second big prize opening C20 having the specific area C22. Then, an opening pattern designed so that non-intrusion into the specific area C22 becomes definite is set, and the process proceeds to Step 1710.

  Next, at step 1710, the allocated game execution control means MP36 clears the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c. Next, at step 1712, the allocated game execution control means MP36 turns on an allocated game execution flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, at step 1714, the distribution game execution control means MP36 opens the second big prize opening C20 with the set release pattern, and proceeds to step 1716.

  Next, at step 1716, the allocation game execution control means MP36 confirms the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c and determines whether or not a predetermined number (10) of gaming balls have won the second big winning opening C20. To do. If Yes in step 1716, the process proceeds to step 1720. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1716, in step 1718, the allocation game execution control means MP36 determines whether or not the opening period (set opening pattern) of the second big prize opening C20 has ended. If Yes in step 1718, the process proceeds to step 1720. Next, at step 1720, the distribution game execution control means MP36 closes the second big prize opening C20. Next, at step 1722, the allocated game execution control means MP36 turns off the allocated game execution flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1724, the allocated game execution control means MP36 determines whether or not a game ball has entered the specific area C22 in the allocated game execution round. In the case of Yes in step 1724, in step 1726, the allocated game execution control means MP36 turns on the main game probability change transition reservation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and proceeds to step 1728. . In the case of No in step 1724, the process proceeds to step 1728. Next, at step 1728, the allocated game execution control means MP36 adds 1 to the round number counter (ends the allocated game execution round), and proceeds to the next process (the process at step 1634). Even in the case of No in step 1718, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1634).

  Next, FIG. 70 is a flowchart of the gaming state determination process after the end of the special game according to the subroutine of Step 1650 (third) in FIG. 68 in the third embodiment. First, in step 1662, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b and determines whether or not the main game probability change transition reservation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1662, in step 1664, the specific game control means MP50 turns off the main game probability change transition reservation flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Next, in step 1666, the specific game control means MP50 sets a predetermined number of times (in this example, 200 times) in the probability variation number counter MP51c. Next, in step 1668, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game probability change flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and proceeds to step 1672. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1662, in step 1670, the specific game control means MP50 sets a predetermined number of times (in this example, 50 times) in the time-count counter MP52c, and proceeds to step 1672.

  Next, at step 1672, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game short time flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Next, in step 1673, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the auxiliary game short time flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1997).

  FIG. 71 is a main flowchart on the sub control board S side (particularly on the sub main control unit SM side) in the third embodiment. The difference from the present embodiment is step 2010 (third) and step 2850 (third), that is, after executing the above-described decorative symbol display content determination processing in step 2200, step 2010 (third). The sub-control board S refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not the current gaming state is a time-saving gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2010 (third), the process proceeds to step 2300. In the case of No, in step 2850 (third), the sub-control board S performs a time-short / medium decorative symbol display control process, which will be described later. Execute and go to step 2400.

  Next, FIG. 72 is a flowchart of decorative symbol display content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2200 in FIG. 71 in the third embodiment. The difference from this embodiment is step 2230 (third) and step 2800 (third), that is, after turning off the symbol content determination permission flag in step 2204, in step 2230 (third), The drawing display content determination means SM21n refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not the current gaming state is a time-saving gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2230 (third), the process proceeds to step 2206. In the case of No, in step 2800 (third), the drawing display content determination means SM21n The figure content determination process is executed, and the process proceeds to Step 2208. Note that the processing of step 2218 is not executed in the third embodiment (the symbol content determination flag does not exist). In the third embodiment, the first decorative symbol is composed of three columns, the left column, the middle column, and the right column, and the effective line (the line that becomes effective when the same numeric symbol is arranged) is 1. If it is a line and the same numeric symbol is aligned on the effective line, it means a big hit (conversely, if the same numeric symbol is not aligned on the effective line, it will be lost). Also, in the left column, middle column, and right column (or in the middle column), only numeric symbols can be stopped (temporarily stopped) (the above-mentioned “special symbol” does not stop, or the appearance frequency itself is extremely high) (It is a low probability) and can be temporarily stopped in the middle of symbol variation (or the probability of temporary stop is very low). The second decorative symbol is composed of three columns, the left column, the middle column, and the right column, and the effective line (the line in which it is effective to arrange the same symbol) is one line, and is the same as the effective line. If the number symbols are aligned, it means a big hit (conversely, if the same number symbols are not aligned on the effective line, it will be lost). In addition, in the left column, middle column, and right column (or in the middle column), only numeric symbols can be stopped (temporarily stopped) (the above-mentioned “special symbol” does not stop), and during symbol variation It is configured to be able to temporarily stop.

  Next, FIG. 73 is a flowchart of the first and second short-term contents determination processing according to the third embodiment according to the subroutine of step 2800 (third) in FIG. 72. First, in step 2802, the drawing display content determination unit SM21n refers to the main-side information temporary storage unit SM11b and determines whether or not the first decorative symbol is currently stopped. In the case of Yes in step 2802, in step 2804, the drawing display content determination means SM21n determines the second main game suspension content (particularly, the result of the success / failure and the variation time) related to the symbol variation (main game symbol variation), and Confirm the contents of the second main game hold (especially variable time) in the order of the first to second items, that is, the second main game hold content excluding the third hold (especially the result of the determination and the change time). . Next, in step 2806, the drawing display content determination means SM21n determines whether or not there is a hold (including the symbol change) having a change time of a predetermined time (5 seconds in this example) related to the confirmed hold. Based on the digestion order of the suspension (including the symbol variation) for a variation time of a predetermined time (5 seconds in this example) or more, the first decoration symbol of the first decorative symbol The variation mode is determined.

  Here, the right side of the figure is an example of a table for determining the first variation variation mode for the short time in the third embodiment. As shown in this table, in the third embodiment, when the first decorative symbol is stopped (the timing of step 2806), the second main game pending number, the second main game symbol variation, and the second main game variation The variation time of the first decorative symbol is determined based on the variation time related to the game hold. As described above, among the fluctuation modes of the second main game symbol, “b0 (1 second)” is a short fluctuation, and other than “b0 (1 second)” is a long fluctuation.

  Specifically, when there are two or more second main game holds, it is determined whether or not there is a long change hold in the symbol fluctuation, the first hold and the second hold. If there is no long-pending hold, the change time corresponding to three changes of the second main game symbol becomes the change time of the first decorative symbol. For example, when the number of second main game holds is 3 and the number of second main game holds is “1-3”, the change time is “the change: 1 second, 1st: 1 second, 2” In the case of “1st: 1 second, 3rd: 1 second”, the variation time of the first decorative symbol when the second main game pending number is maintained “1-3” is “the variation” and “ The total of the “first” and “second” is 3 seconds, and the first decorative symbol is also stopped at the same time (or substantially simultaneously) as the main game symbol related to the second hold is stopped. . The second decorative symbol is configured to stop at the same time (or substantially at the same time) as the main game symbol stops at every change.

  On the other hand, if there are two or more second main game holds, and if there is a long fluctuation hold in any of the symbol fluctuation, the first hold and the second hold, the earliest The change time until the change of the main game symbol related to the hold that becomes the long change of the digestion order becomes the change time of the first decorative symbol. For example, when the number of second main game holds is 3 and the number of second main game holds is “1-3”, the fluctuation time is “the change: 1 second, 1st: 10 seconds, 2 In the case of “1st: 1 second, 3rd: 1 second”, the variation time of the first decorative symbol when the second main game pending number is maintained “1-3” is “the variation” and “ The first decoration symbol is also stopped at the same time (or substantially at the same time) as the main game symbol related to the first hold, which is a long fluctuation, is 11 seconds in total with the “first”.

  In addition, when the number of second main game holds is 1 or less, it is determined whether there is a hold that becomes a long change until the hold that becomes the final digestion order (including the symbol change), and the long change If there is no hold, the change time of the second main game symbol and the total change is the change time of the first decorative symbol. For example, when the second main game hold is 1 and the second main game hold number maintains “1-3”, the change time is “the change: 1 second, the first: 1 second” The change time of the first decorative symbol when the number of second main game holds is “1-3” is 2 seconds, which is the sum of “the change” and “first”. The first decorative symbol is also stopped at the same time (or substantially at the same time) as the main game symbol related to the eye suspension is stopped.

  On the other hand, if the number of second main game holds is 1 or less, and if there is a hold that becomes a long fluctuation until the hold that becomes the final digest order (including the symbol variation), the earliest digest order The variation time until the variation of the main game symbol related to the hold that becomes a long variation is the variation time of the first decorative symbol. For example, when the second main game hold is 1 and the change time when the second main game hold number is maintained “1-3” is “the change: 1 second, 1st: 10 seconds” In the case where the number of second main game holds is maintained at “1-3”, the variation time of the first decorative symbol is 11 seconds, which is the sum of “variation” and “first”, and the long variation The first decorative symbol is also stopped at the same time (or substantially at the same time) as the main game symbol related to the first hold.

  In the third embodiment, the variation time of the first decorative symbol is determined at the timing of step 2806, that is, the timing after the suspension digestion, but the present invention is not limited to this. You may comprise so that the 2nd main game reservation information may be confirmed at a timing and the variation time of a 1st decoration symbol may be determined.

  Next, in step 2808, the drawing display content determination unit SM21n refers to the hold information confirmed in step 2804, and determines whether or not there is a big hit in the confirmed second main game hold. In the case of Yes in step 2808, in step 2810, the figure display content determination means SM21n determines the stop symbol of the first decorative symbol based on the information related to the stop symbol of the main game symbol related to the jackpot holding, Go to 2814. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2808, in step 2812, the figure display content determination means SM21n determines the stop symbol of the first decorative symbol as a losing symbol, and proceeds to step 2814. In the process of step 2812, the stop pattern of the first decorative symbol is set to the reach mode (the stop symbols of the left column and the right column are the same depending on the variation time of the first decorative symbol. For example, “4. 4 ") or a disjointed pattern (the stop symbols in the left and right columns are not the same, for example," 4, 6, 3 ") may be determined. Next, in step 2814, the drawing display content determination means SM21n turns on the first symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and performs the next processing (step 2208). The process proceeds to (1). In the case of No in step 2802, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 2208).

  Although not shown, in the third embodiment, in the time-reduced game state, the game is progressed mainly on the second main game side (the game proceeds on the right hand, so the second The first main game hold will not occur basically because only the symbol change on the main game side is executed), but the first main game hold occurred due to the player performing a left-handed strike, etc. In this case, it is desirable that the first decorative symbol has the same variation time as the main game symbol until the variation relating to the first main game suspension is completed.

  Next, FIG. 74 is a flowchart of a short / medium decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2850 (third) in FIG. 71 in the third embodiment. First, in step 2852, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not the main game symbol has started to change. In the case of Yes in step 2852, in step 2854, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns on the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2856, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 starts the first figure change time management timer SM21t-1 and the second figure change time management timer SM21t-2, and proceeds to step 2858. On the other hand, if the result in step 2852 is No, the process proceeds to step 2858.

  Next, in step 2858, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the symbol changing flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2858, in step 2860, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 confirms the timer values of the first figure change time management timer SM21t-1 and the second figure change time management timer SM21t-2. Next, in step 2862, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the first decorative symbol is stopped. In the case of Yes in step 2862, in step 2864, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 starts the variable display of the first decorative symbol, and proceeds to step 2866. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2862, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 continues the variable display of the first decorative symbol in step 2865, and proceeds to step 2866.

  Next, in step 2866, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 displays the second decorative symbol in a variable manner. Next, in step 2868, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 appropriately executes the determined image display such as the temporary stop display, the preview image display, the reach image display, etc. relating to the change of the main game symbol. The first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol can be temporarily stopped in the time-saving gaming state, but are not temporarily stopped in the stop mode such as “special symbol” or pseudo-continuous symbol. As a specific example of the temporary stop, the first decorative symbol is reached due to the symbol variation that becomes a reach variation for a long time (for example, 30 seconds or more) (the left column and the right column are temporarily stopped). The second decorative symbol may be temporarily stopped during the period, or the first decorative symbol may be temporarily stopped as a quasi-continuous variation before the first decorative symbol reaches reach. .

  Next, in step 2870, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not the main game symbol has stopped. In the case of Yes in step 2870, in step 2872, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the stop timing of the first decorative symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2872, in step 2874, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 confirms and displays the first decorative symbol. Next, in step 2876, the decorative design display control means SM21 stops and resets (zero clears) the first design variation time management timer SM21t-1, and proceeds to step 2880. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2872, in step 2878, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 continues the variable display of the first decorative symbol, and proceeds to step 2880.

  Next, in step 2880, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 confirms and displays the second decorative symbol. Next, in step 2882, the decorative design display control means SM21 stops and resets (zero clears) the second figure variation time management timer SM21t-2, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2400). It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 2858 or step 2870, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2400).

  Here, the upper part of the figure is a short-time, medium-decoration pattern fluctuation image diagram, and exemplifies an example of the action related to the decoration pattern fluctuation in the third embodiment. First, the “main game symbol change start state” means that the decorative symbols (first decorative symbol and second decorative symbol) start to change at the timing when the main game symbol (especially the second main game symbol) starts to change. Whether or not is displayed. In addition, the part currently displayed with the oblique line has shown that the decoration symbol (1st decoration symbol) is changing. In addition, it is displayed whether or not the decorative symbols (first decorative symbol and second decorative symbol) stop varying at the timing when the main gaming symbol (in particular, the second main gaming symbol) stops varying. In addition, the part currently displayed with the oblique line has shown that the decoration symbol (1st decoration symbol) is changing. Thus, the second decorative symbol starts and stops changing at the same timing (or substantially the same) as the main game symbol (especially the second main game symbol). The second decorative symbol is configured to start and stop changing every three changes of the main game symbol (particularly, the second main game symbol). In other words, the first decorative symbol is configured such that one symbol variation can be executed over a plurality of variation periods of the main game symbol (and the second decorative symbol).

  By configuring as described above, according to the gaming machine according to the third embodiment, by determining the variation time of the first decorative symbol based on the number of the second main game suspension and the variation time, By configuring the variation time of the first decoration symbol to be the value of the variation time of the second main game symbol multiple times, the game as if the variation of the main game symbol multiple times is a single variation Even if the number of times of change of the main game symbol which is the end condition of the probability variation game state is large (200 in this example) as in the third embodiment, the number of times ( For example, it can be shown to the player as 100 times), and it is possible to alleviate the fact that the losing fluctuation during the probability fluctuation gaming state is continuously bored and the probability fluctuation game. The jackpot probability in the state is actually So that the can feel like the remote has risen.

  In the third embodiment, the second decorative symbol can be fixed and stopped three times during the period in which the first decorative symbol is fixed and stopped once. The maximum number of 3 times is smaller than the second main game reservation upper limit number of 4 (if the second main game reservation upper limit number is exceeded, the first decorative symbol is changing) This may cause a situation where the second main game hold is completely consumed).

  It should be noted that the board configuration of the third embodiment may be changed, for example, the game ball passes almost certainly when the right strike is executed through the auxiliary game start port H10 and the second main game start port B10. (Auxiliary game start opening H10 is arranged on the upper side when viewed from the player) and almost all of the game balls that have flowed down the route and passed through the auxiliary game start opening H10, You may comprise so that a ball can be entered into 2nd main game start opening B10. In such a configuration, in the time-saving gaming state, during the period from when the game ball passes through the auxiliary game start opening H10 to when it enters the second main game start opening B10, “the auxiliary game symbol of Since it is desirable to be able to be changed start → change end of auxiliary game symbol → second main game start opening electric accessory B11d ”, the change time of auxiliary game symbol is 0.2 seconds, the second main game start opening electric It is preferable to adopt a configuration in which the opening mode of the accessory B11d is “6 seconds open → close”. In such a configuration, in order to prevent a large amount of game balls from entering the second main game start port B10 when a right hand is executed in the time-saving game state, the second main game It is desirable that the number of prize balls in the start opening B10 is 1 (the number of prize balls in the first main game start opening A10 is 3).

  In the third embodiment, the second main game holding content is confirmed while the first decorative symbol is stopped, and the variation time related to the next variation of the first decorative symbol is determined. If there is a hold that becomes a long variation of the main game symbol by the second digestion order, the first decorative symbol is also stopped at the same time when the symbol change related to the hold that becomes the long variation is stopped. Therefore, the variation time of the first decorative symbol may not depend on the number of reservations at the start of the variation of the first decorative symbol, and the first variation of the first variation is caused by the retention occurring during the variation of the first decorative symbol. The variation time of the decorative design is configured to be different.

  In the third embodiment, as described above, when there are two or more second main game holds, and there is a long fluctuation in any one of the symbol fluctuation, the first hold and the second hold. When there is a hold that becomes, the change time until the change of the main game symbol related to the hold that becomes the longest change of the first digestion order becomes the change time of the first decorative design, If there is no long-change hold in any of the symbol change and the hold 1st and 2nd hold, the change time of the 3rd change of the 2nd main game design is the change of the 1st decoration design Although it is configured to be time, for example, when the number of second main game hold is 3 and the number of second main game hold is “1-3”, the change time is “the change: 1 second In the case of “1st: 1 second, 2nd: 1 second, 3rd: 1 second”, the second main game holding number is “1-3” The change time of the first decorative symbol when it is held is scheduled for a total of 3 seconds of “the change”, “the first piece” and “the second piece”, but the second main game hold is “1 to 1”. For example, when the actual variation time is “the variation: 1 second, the first: 1 second, the second: 5 seconds” without maintaining “3”, the variation of the first decorative design The time is 7 seconds, which is the sum of “the change”, “the first piece”, and “the second piece”, and the change time of the first decorative symbol can be different depending on whether or not the additional holding occurs.

  In the third embodiment, while the first decorative symbol is stopped, the second main game pending content is confirmed and the variation time related to the next variation of the first decorative symbol is determined. During the stop, the effect related to the first decorative symbol may be determined. For example, when “the effect that lightning runs” is executed on the effect display device SG at the start of the change due to a certain first decorative symbol variation. In addition, while the first decorative symbol variation is stopped, the subsequent variation content of the second decorative symbol (or the variation content of the second main game symbol) is confirmed. It may be determined whether or not to execute the “running performance” again. As the “lightning run effect” continues, the degree of expectation that becomes a big hit in the first decorative symbol variation (or the main game symbol variation included in the first decorative symbol variation) related to the effect is increased. It is desirable to make it high. The timing for confirming the variation content of the second decorative symbol (or the variation content of the second main game symbol) may be changed, but when confirming the variation start timing of the first decorative symbol, In contrast to the fact that only the contents of change related to the second main game hold can be confirmed, when the change is confirmed at the timing of the first decoration symbol change stop or at the end of change, Since the fluctuation content of the two main game hold can also be confirmed, it is desirable that the confirmation timing is after the last stage of the fluctuation of the first decorative symbol.
