Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine.

  There is known a pre-reading effect in which the result is notified in advance based on the random number value related to the hold memory before the big hit lottery is performed. In Patent Document 1, as an example of such a pre-reading effect, the result of the jackpot lottery based on the reserved memory is notified in advance by changing the reserved symbol depending on whether or not the random number related to the reserved memory is a specific value. The pre-reading notification effect to be performed is described.

JP 2005-95409 A

  In recent years, this pre-reading notification effect is performed in many ball game machines, but this pre-reading notification effect is generally performed by a display control board or the like as described in Patent Document 1. It was performed with the winning of the lottery. For this reason, the pre-read notification effect has become rutted and the interest of the game has been reduced.

  In addition, for the player, the process until the pre-read notification effect is started is opaque and lacks interest, and there is a relationship between the pre-read notification effect and other components in the ball game machine. It was sparse.

  The invention of the present application has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to improve the fun of the game by preventing the pre-read notification effect from becoming ruined and increasing the relevance between the pre-read notification effect and other components. An object is to provide a ball game machine.

  The bullet ball game machine according to claim 1, which has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, includes a normal symbol lottery means for performing a normal symbol lottery due to the entry of a game ball into the operating port, and a first that is capable of always entering a ball. Random numbers are extracted due to the entrance to the starting port, the second starting port that can be entered when the symbol is drawn, and the ball enters the first starting port, and the random number is first reserved. Based on the first storage memory or the second storage memory, which is stored as a memory, extracts a random number due to the ball entering the second starting port, and stores the random number as a second storage memory A jackpot lottery means for digesting the reserved memory by performing a jackpot lottery.

  In addition, the ball game machine performs a big hit effect of the contents according to the random number value related to the first hold memory or the second hold memory, thereby notifying the result of the big win lottery based on the hold memory A holding symbol display means for displaying means, a first holding symbol corresponding to the first reserved memory that has not been digested, and a second reserved symbol corresponding to the second reserved memory that has not been digested; Alternatively, pre-fetch determination means for determining whether or not the random number related to the reserved storage is a specific value before the big hit lottery based on the second reserved storage is performed.

Further, the pinball game machine in a state where the first holding memory occurs, when entering the sphere to open the second start hole is generated, with the first holding memory either, determination by the pre-read determination means Pre-reading notification effecting means for performing a pre-reading notification effect for notifying in advance of the result of the jackpot lottery based on the reserved memory by changing the corresponding holding symbol according to the result.

  In the pre-read notification effect, one hold symbol corresponding to the hold memory may be changed according to the determination result by the pre-read determination unit for any one hold memory, or according to the determination result, A plurality of reserved symbols including the reserved symbol corresponding to the reserved memory may be changed. Moreover, you may perform a prefetch alerting | reporting effect based on the determination result by the prefetch determination means about any one hold memory, and target these hold memories based on the determination result by the prefetch determination means about a plurality of hold memories. The pre-read notification effect may be performed simultaneously.

  According to such a configuration, the second start opening opened by the normal symbol lottery in the state where the first reserved memory is generated, not the internal lottery performed in the ball game machine. A pre-read notification effect is performed in response to the occurrence of a ball. For this reason, the trigger of the pre-read notification effect becomes different from the conventional one, the sense of feeling is eliminated, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, since the first hold memory has occurred and the ball entering the second start opening is a fact visible to the player, it is different from the case in which the winning in the internal lottery is used as a trigger. The process until the production is started becomes clear, and the player does not feel distrust about the trigger of the pre-read notification production. In addition, the unique characteristics of the ball game machine, such as the occurrence of the first hold memory, the normal symbol lottery, the opening of the second start opening, etc., trigger the pre-read notification effect. It can be further enhanced.

  Furthermore, in order to enjoy the pre-read notification effect, the player is eager to maintain the state in which the first reserved memory is generated or to enter the second starting port at the timing when the state is generated. This will improve the interest of technical intervention.

  In addition, in the ball game machine according to claim 1, the operation port related to the normal symbol lottery, the display device for notifying the result of the normal symbol lottery, or the second start port opened by hitting the normal symbol lottery ( The trigger of the pre-reading notification effect is obtained by associating the actions of the constituent elements that have not been directly related to the pre-reading notification effect in the past, such as ordinary electric accessories. For this reason, it is possible to enhance the interest of the pre-read notification effect by synergistic action, to perform the pre-read notification effect with a sense of unity, and to further enhance the interest of the game.

  Furthermore, since the entrance of the second start opening that is not released unless it is a normal symbol lottery triggers the pre-read notification effect, the process from the entry of the game ball to the operation opening to the entrance to the second start opening However, it is a precursor to the pre-read notification effect, and the player can be interesting. For this reason, the interest of the game can be enhanced even without providing an effect that is a precursor to the fact that the pre-read notification effect is performed.

  By the way, in parallel with the jackpot effect on the hold memory that is digested before the target hold memory, a continuous notice effect that predicts the result of the jackpot lottery based on the target hold memory is known, and a pre-read notification It is conceivable to perform the production and the continuous notice production in parallel.

  In addition, according to the bullet ball game machine of the first aspect, the pre-read notification effect is always started in a state where the first reserved memory and the second reserved memory are generated. It is also possible to trigger the pre-reading notification effect that four balls have entered the second starting port in the state where the first hold memory is generated.

  If the upper limit number of the first and second hold memories is four, the hold memory that is the target of the prefetch notification effect is determined by setting the trigger for the prefetch notification effect in this way. Until it is digested, it is possible to make a jackpot effect more times than the upper limit of each reserved memory. For this reason, when the continuous notice effect is performed together with the pre-read notification effect, the continuous notice effect over the jackpot effect that is equal to or more than the upper limit number of each reserved storage becomes possible, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  In addition, the target of the pre-read notification effect may be the first reserved memory. In such a case, for example, when the upper limit number (four) of the first reserved memory is generated, the second start opening is entered. By using the occurrence of the ball as a trigger for the pre-read notification effect, it is possible to provide continuous notice over the jackpot effect that exceeds the upper limit number of the first reserved memory, and to enhance the interest of the game.

In addition, it is conceivable to provide a plurality of patterns as the opening pattern of the second start port when the normal symbol lottery is won.
Therefore, as described in claim 2, the normal symbol lottery means for performing the normal symbol lottery due to the entry of the game ball into the operating port, the first starting port capable of always entering the ball, and the normal symbol A random number is extracted due to the second starting port that is opened when the lottery is won, and a ball can be entered at the time of opening, and the first starting port is entered, and the random number is stored as a first reserved memory, A random number is extracted due to the ball entering the second starting port, and the random storage lottery is performed based on the holding storage means for storing the random number as the second holding memory, and the first holding memory or the second holding memory. The result of the jackpot lottery based on the hold memory is notified by performing the jackpot rendering of the contents according to the random number value related to the first hold memory or the second hold memory and the jackpot lottery means for digesting the hold memory Corresponding to the big hit directing means and the first reserved memory that has not been digested A holding symbol display means for displaying the first holding symbol and the second holding symbol corresponding to the second reserved memory that has not been digested, and before the big hit lottery based on the first holding memory or the second holding memory is performed And a pre-reading determination unit for determining whether or not the random number related to the hold storage is a specific value, and when a ball entering the opened second starting port occurs in a state where the first hold storage occurs, For any of the first hold memory or the second hold memory, by changing the corresponding holding symbol according to the determination result by the pre-reading determination means, the pre-read notification effect in which the result of the big hit lottery based on the hold storage is notified in advance You may comprise a bullet ball game machine provided with the prefetch notification production | presentation means to perform.
A plurality of opening patterns having different opening times are provided as the opening pattern of the second start opening, and a plurality of types are provided for winning in the normal symbol lottery. In this case, the second start opening is opened in a pattern according to the type of the corresponding, and among the patterns, the opening time of the second start opening is longer than a predetermined threshold as a long opening pattern, The pre-read notification effect means may perform the pre-read notification effect when a ball enters the second start port opened by the long opening pattern in a state where the first reserved memory is generated.

  According to such a structure, even if it is a case where it is a normal symbol lottery, since the probability of entering the second starting port changes according to the hit type, it is possible to increase the interest. Moreover, since the entrance to the 2nd start opening opened | released with the long open pattern becomes a trigger of a prefetch notification effect, it becomes easy to generate a prefetch notification effect.

On the other hand, as described in claim 3, the normal symbol lottery means for performing the normal symbol lottery due to the entry of the game ball into the operating port, the first starting port capable of always entering the ball, and the normal symbol A random number is extracted due to the second starting port that is opened when the lottery is won, and a ball can be entered at the time of opening, and the first starting port is entered, and the random number is stored as a first reserved memory, A random number is extracted due to the ball entering the second starting port, and the random storage lottery is performed based on the holding storage means for storing the random number as the second holding memory, and the first holding memory or the second holding memory. The result of the jackpot lottery based on the hold memory is notified by performing the jackpot rendering of the contents according to the random number value related to the first hold memory or the second hold memory and the jackpot lottery means for digesting the hold memory Corresponding to the big hit effect means and the first reserved memory that is not digested Prior to the holding symbol display means for displaying the first holding symbol and the second holding symbol corresponding to the second reserved memory that has not been digested, and the big hit lottery based on the first holding memory or the second holding memory The pre-reading determining means for determining whether or not the random number related to the reserved memory is a specific value, and when the ball enters the opened second start port in the state where the first reserved memory is generated, With respect to the first hold memory or the second hold memory, a pre-read notification effect for notifying the result of the jackpot lottery based on the hold memory in advance by changing the corresponding hold symbol according to the determination result by the pre-read determination means. You may comprise a ball game machine provided with the prefetch notification production | presentation means to perform.
Then, among the opening patterns of the second starting port, those having the opening time of the second starting port shorter than a predetermined threshold value are set as a short opening pattern, and the pre-read notification effect producing means has the first reserved memory. In this state, when a ball enters the second start port opened by the short opening pattern, a pre-read notification effect may be performed.

According to such a configuration, since the occurrence frequency of the pre-read notification effect is reduced, the rarity of the pre-read notification effect is increased, and game motivation can be aroused.
Furthermore, as described in claim 4, among the opening patterns of the second starting port, those having a longer opening time of the second starting port than a predetermined threshold are set as a long opening pattern, and the pre-read notification effect is produced. The means performs a pre-read notification effect on the first reserved memory when a ball enters the second start port opened by the short release pattern in a state where the first reserved memory is generated. When a ball enters the second start port opened by the long open pattern in the generated state, a pre-read notification effect for the second reserved memory may be performed.

According to such a configuration, even when the normal symbol lottery is won, the probability that the pre-read notification effect is performed varies depending on the type of winning, so that the interest can be increased.
In addition, as described above, the first hold memory is generated by entering the first start port, and the second hold memory is generated by entering the second start port. The pre-read notification effect for the first hold memory triggered by the entry to the start opening feels higher value as a privilege than the pre-read notification effect for the second hold memory triggered by the entry.

  For this reason, when the ball enters the second starting port opened with the short opening pattern, the pre-reading effect is performed for the first holding memory, and when the ball enters the second starting port opened with the long opening pattern, the second holding memory is used. By performing the pre-reading effect on, it is possible to perform a pre-reading effect with a higher value as the entry to the second starting port is difficult, and to arouse the player's willingness to play.

  In other words, the player can enjoy only the pre-reading effect of the second reserved memory related to the second starting port by entering the second starting port opened with the long opening pattern that is easy to enter, Depending on the ball entering the second start opening opened with a difficult short opening pattern, it is possible to enjoy the pre-reading effect of the first reserved memory related to the first start opening as a start opening different from the second start opening. Create a new playability.

  In addition, as described above, there is a continuous notice effect that predicts the result of the jackpot lottery based on the target hold memory in parallel with the jackpot effect on the hold memory that is digested before the target hold memory. Therefore, it is conceivable to perform the prefetch notification effect and the continuous notice effect in parallel. In addition, in a ball game machine that can enter the second starting port by winning in the normal symbol lottery, priority digestion may be performed in which the second reserved memory is used in preference to the first reserved memory. is there.

  Therefore, in the ball and ball game machine according to claim 5, the pre-read notification effecting means is in a state where the first reserved memory is generated, and the second start opening opened by one hit in the normal symbol lottery, When two or more predetermined pitches occur, a pre-read notification effect is performed.

  According to such a configuration, if preferential digestion of the second hold memory is performed and the target of the prefetch notification effect is limited to the first hold memory, the hold that is the target of the prefetch notification effect is assumed. It is possible to increase the number of reserved memories that are digested prior to storage. For this reason, if a continuous notice effect is performed together with a pre-read notification effect, it is possible to develop a high-story continuous notice effect that spans many jackpot effects and improve the interest of the game. .

  In addition, when the number of times of entry is “two or more times” at the opened second start opening, the entry to the second start opening when the second reserved memory reaches the upper limit (so-called overflow ball). May occur. By doing so, the player can obtain the privilege of pre-read notification effect even when an overflow ball that does not generate the second reserved memory and only the winning ball is generated, and the game motivation is improved.

  The bulletin ball according to claim 5, wherein the content of the continuous notice effect is determined on the assumption that a predetermined number of jackpot effects are performed before the reserved memory to be effected is consumed. According to the gaming machine, it is possible to set the number of balls entering the second start opening that triggers the prefetch notification effect according to the predetermined number of times. For this reason, it is possible to flexibly adjust the number of jackpot effects to be performed before digestion, which is the target of the continuous notice effect.

  In addition, when the second starting port is opened, it is considered that the player makes a target so that a plurality of balls enter the second starting port in order to start the pre-read notification effect. For this reason, a room for moderate technical intervention can be given to the player, and the player can concentrate on the game.

  By the way, as a type of jackpot effect, there are known an out-of-reach effect in which the effect symbol is stopped and displayed in the reach state, and a normal out-of-effect effect in which the effect symbol is stopped and displayed in the non-reach state.

  Therefore, in the ball game machine according to claim 6, the big hit lottery means digests the second reserved memory first when the first reserved memory and the second reserved memory that are not digested exist, The jackpot effect means is not a reach out effect that stops the display of the effect symbols in the state of reaching, according to the random number value related to the hold memory, as a jackpot effect when the jackpot lottery is lost In the state, a normal off-stage production is performed in which the production design is stopped and displayed. Further, the pre-read notification effect means is a case where a ball enters the opened second start port in a state where the first reserved memory is generated, and all the undigested after the ball is generated In the case where a normal loss effect is performed in the jackpot effect for the jackpot lottery based on the second reserved memory, the pre-read notification effect for any of the first reserved memories is performed.

  According to such a configuration, before the first reserved memory that is the target of the pre-read notification effect is exhausted, the big hit lottery is not won based on the second reserved memory, and the pre-read notification effect is halfway. Can be prevented.

  Further, the reach effect is performed with the jackpot effect corresponding to the second reserved memory before the first reserved memory that is the target of the pre-read notification effect is digested, and the time until the first reserved memory is consumed is long. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the pre-read notification effect from being extended.

  According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, the ball game machine manages the progress of the game, and includes a main symbol lottery means, a holding storage means, a big hit lottery means, and a prefetch determination means. There may be provided a device and a sub-control device that performs various effects in accordance with commands from the main control device and includes a jackpot effect means, a reserved symbol display means, and a prefetch notification effect means.

  Then, the main control device transmits a hold storage command for notifying the sub control device of information relating to the occurrence or digestion of the first hold memory and the second hold memory, and the sub control device. On the other hand, the prefetch command transmitting means for transmitting a prefetch command indicating the result of the determination by the prefetch determination means, and the jackpot effect of the content according to the value of the random number related to the reserved storage to be digested to the sub-control device. You may further provide the production control command transmission means which transmits the production control command to instruct | indicate.

  Further, the hold symbol display means displays the hold symbol based on the hold memory command, the jackpot effect means performs a jackpot effect of the contents according to the effect control command, and the prefetch notification effect means means When the occurrence of a ball entering the second starting port is detected in a state in which one reserved memory is generated, and the occurrence is detected, a prefetch notification effect may be performed based on the prefetch command.

By doing so, the burden on the main control device can be reduced.
In addition, a pre-reading sign effect that notifies whether or not a pre-reading notification effect is performed may be performed in conjunction with a normal symbol lottery or the like.

  That is, as described in claim 8, the main control device displays the fluctuation of the normal symbol and then displays the normal symbol according to the result of the normal symbol lottery, thereby displaying the result of the normal symbol lottery. A pre-reading indication effect that is a command relating to the progress state of the notification of the result of the normal symbol lottery by the general symbol display unit, or the open state of the second start opening performed by hitting in the normal symbol lottery And a predecessor effect control means for transmitting a control command to the sub-control device, and the sub-control device performs a pre-reading predictive effect that suggests whether or not a pre-reading notification effect is performed based on the pre-reading predictive effect control command. A sign production means may be further provided.

  According to such a configuration, whether the pre-read notification effect is performed during the period from the entry of the game ball to the operation port related to the normal symbol lottery to the ball entering the second start port (pre-read notification effect indication period) Since the production suggesting whether or not is performed, the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  In addition, since the general symbol display means is provided in a main control device that is generally controlled by a low-performance CPU, it is difficult to display ordinary symbols in an easy-to-understand manner. It is not possible to notify the results of

  In addition, when the normal symbol lottery is provided with a plurality of types of hits and the second start port is opened in a pattern corresponding to the type, the normal symbol display means is used when the normal symbol lottery is won. It is conceivable that a normal symbol corresponding to the corresponding type is displayed in a definite manner. However, for the same reason, it is not possible to notify the player of the normal symbol lottery type (the pattern of opening the second start port) in an easy-to-understand manner.

  On the other hand, in the ball and ball game machine according to the eighth aspect of the present invention, the pre-reading sign effect performed by the sub-control device gives the player that the player has won the normal symbol lottery, It becomes possible to notify the opening pattern of the start port in an easy-to-understand manner. For this reason, it is not possible to overlook that the player has won the normal symbol lottery and in what pattern the second start port is opened.

  In addition, by performing such a pre-read sign effect, the pre-read notification effect is not suddenly started, and the player does not feel uncomfortable.

[First embodiment]
[Description of operation]
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 50 in the first embodiment will be described.

  The pachinko machine 50 according to the first embodiment has a first start port 11 that can always win a prize, and a second start that is configured as a normal electric accessory that is opened for a certain period of time by winning in the normal symbol lottery and can be won. A mouth 12 is provided.

  In addition, for the release of the ordinary electric utility performed by winning in the normal symbol lottery, a short opening pattern in which the ordinary electric accessory is released for 0.5 seconds and a long in which the ordinary electric accessory is released for 6 seconds. Two types of opening patterns are provided, and when an ordinary symbol lottery is won, the ordinary electric accessory is released in any one of the opening patterns. At the time of opening, the ordinary electric accessory can win a prize. Here, the normal electric accessory may be intermittently opened over a period related to each opening pattern, or may be configured to open and close during the period.

  Then, the first holding memory is generated by winning the first starting port 11 (up to four as an example), and the big hit lottery with the variable display of the first special figure is performed based on the first holding memory, and the first 2 The second reserved memory is generated by winning at the start port 12 (up to four as an example), and a big hit lottery with a variation display of the second special figure is performed based on the second reserved memory. Further, the second reserved memory is digested with priority over the first reserved memory. That is, in this embodiment, the second reserved memory is first digested in the winning order, and when the digestion of all the second reserved memories is completed, the first reserved memory is then digested in the winning order. When the second reserved memory is generated during the digestion of the first reserved memory, the digestion of the second reserved memory is preferentially performed without digesting the first reserved memory.

  In addition, when a big hit lottery is won, a big hit game in which the big winning opening 14 is opened is performed, and the number of rounds of the big hit game is set according to the type of the big hit symbol. Then, when winning with a specific jackpot symbol, after the jackpot game ends, the bonus game state is entered until the jackpot lottery is won again. In the bonus game state, a probability variation mode in which the winning probability of the jackpot lottery is increased, the winning probability in the normal symbol lottery is increased, and the opening time of the second start port 12 at the time of winning in the normal symbol lottery is extended. In addition, when the normal symbol fluctuation time is further shortened, the mode becomes short mode (open extension mode), and the second start port 12 is easily opened.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 50, when the first holding memory is generated during the normal gaming state and the winning to the second starting port 12 released by the winning in the normal symbol lottery occurs, the first holding is performed. A pre-reading effect is announced in which the results of the jackpot lottery for memory are announced. In this pre-reading effect, by changing the first reserved symbol corresponding to the target first reserved memory, the pre-reading notification effect suggesting the possibility of a big hit by the first reserved memory and the target first reserved memory In parallel with the jackpot effect of the reserved memory that is digested earlier, the continuous notice effect that suggests the possibility of the jackpot by the first reserved memory is performed.

  Needless to say, the pre-reading effect does not always accurately predict the results of the jackpot lottery, and the notice may be missed. There is also.

Is determined, and the usual figure reservation memory is digested. Then, the process proceeds to S726.

  On the other hand, in S724, the main control device 80 determines whether or not to win the normal symbol lottery based on the random number for lottery drawing related to the selected universal symbol hold memory and the determination table for whether or not it is in the time reduction mode. Judgment and digest the usual figure reservation memory. Then, the process proceeds to S726.

  In S726, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the normal symbol lottery has been won. If the determination is affirmative (S726: Yes), the process proceeds to S728, and if the determination is negative (S726: No), the process proceeds to S732.

  In S728, the main control device 80 determines a normal symbol (winning symbol) to be fixedly displayed on the normal symbol display device 7 at the time of winning in the normal symbol lottery based on the random number for the normal symbol lottery used for the normal symbol lottery. The process proceeds to S730. The winning symbol corresponding to the long open pattern is selected with a probability of 1/10, and the winning symbol corresponding to the short open pattern is selected with a probability of 9/10.

In S730, the main controller 80 determines a normal symbol variation time or the like according to whether or not the winning symbol is in the short time mode, and the process proceeds to S734.
On the other hand, in S732, the main control device 80 sets a normal symbol variation time or the like when the normal symbol lottery is lost in accordance with whether or not it is in the time reduction mode, and shifts the processing to S734.

  In S <b> 734, main controller 80 starts normal symbol variation display over the variation time determined by ordinary symbol display device 7. Whether or not a pre-reading effect is performed by transmitting a normal symbol change start command indicating the result of the normal symbol lottery, the normal symbol to be confirmed and the variation time of the normal symbol to the sub integrated control device 83. A pre-reading sign effect suggesting whether or not (in other words, a possibility of performing a pre-reading effect) is started, and the present process is terminated.

  In the sub integrated control device 83, a pre-reading prelude effect is performed in conjunction with the normal symbol change display based on the common symbol change start command. Absent. For this reason, the main controller 80 does not have to transmit the universal symbol change start command when it is out of the normal symbol lottery.

  Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 17, in S736 that shifts during the normal symbol fluctuation display, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the normal symbol fluctuation time has elapsed, and in the case of an affirmative determination (S736: Yes). , The process proceeds to S738, and in the case of a negative determination (S736: No), this process ends.

  In S738, the main control device 80 ends the normal symbol variation display on the normal symbol display device 7, displays the normal symbol in a fixed manner, and also displays the normal symbol on the sub-integrated control device 83 that is confirmed and displayed. A symbol determination command is transmitted, and the process proceeds to S740.

  In S740, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the normal symbol that has been confirmed and displayed indicates a winning in the normal symbol lottery. If the determination is affirmative (S740: Yes), the process proceeds to S742. When the determination is negative (S740: No), this process is terminated.

  In S742, the main control device 80 starts the operation of the ordinary electric accessory that forms the second start port 12, and the ordinary electric accessory is released to the sub-integrated control device 83 over the opening time corresponding to the winning symbol. Is sent to the base map winning command indicating that the base map game is to be performed, and the base stage start effect process for starting the effect linked to the opening of the ordinary electric accessory is executed (S744). finish.

  Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 18, in S746, during the normal symbol fixed display, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the duration of the normal symbol fixed display has ended. If the determination is affirmative (S746: Yes), the process proceeds to S748. If the determination is negative (S746: No), the process ends.

In S748, main controller 80 ends the normal symbol confirmation display, and ends the present process.
(9) General-purpose game processing Next, general-purpose game processing for performing general-purpose games performed by opening the ordinary electric accessory that forms the second start port 12 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. To do. In addition, this process is a process performed after completion | finish of a usual figure determination process.

  In S750, main controller 80 determines whether or not the ordinary electric accessory is operating. If the determination is affirmative (S750: Yes), the process proceeds to S752, and if the determination is negative (S750: No), the process ends.

  In S752, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the normal electric accessory is being opened. If the determination is affirmative (S752: Yes), the process proceeds to S760 in FIG. In the case of (S752: No), the process proceeds to S754.

  In S754, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the effect at the end of the general game is being performed. If the determination is affirmative (S754: Yes), the process proceeds to S770 in FIG. In the case of (S754: No), the process proceeds to S756.

  In S756, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the start effect time in the ordinary game has elapsed. If the determination is affirmative (S756: Yes), the process proceeds to S758 and the determination is negative. (S756: No), this process is terminated.

  In S758, the main controller 80 opens the ordinary electric accessory so that the ball can enter the second start port 12, and opens the ordinary electric accessory to the sub-integrated control device 83. A general game start command for informing the effect is transmitted, and this process is terminated.

  Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 20, in S760, during which the ordinary electric accessory is released, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the number of game balls won in the second starting port 12 in the ordinary game has become nine. Determine. If the determination is affirmative (S760: Yes), the process proceeds to S766. If the determination is negative (S760: No), the process proceeds to S762.

  In S762, the main controller 80 determines whether or not a new winning has occurred at the second starting port 12 based on a signal from the second starting port SW12a, and if a new winning has occurred, the sub integrated control A winning number notification command for notifying the winning number of the second start port 12 in the ordinary game is transmitted to the device 83, and the process proceeds to S764.

  In S764, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the opening time determined according to the winning symbol has elapsed at the start of opening of the second start port 12, and in the case of an affirmative determination (S764: Yes), The process proceeds to S766, and in the case of a negative determination (S764: No), this process ends.

  In S766, the main control device 80 closes the ordinary electric accessory, and transmits to the sub-integrated control device 83 a normal game end command for instructing an effect at the end of the normal game, and a normal game end effect. The process is executed (S768), and this process ends.

  Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 21, in S770, which proceeds during the production at the end of the general game, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the performance has been performed for a certain period of time, and in the case of an affirmative determination (S770). : Yes), the process proceeds to S772, and in the case of a negative determination (S770: No), this process ends.

In S772, the main control device 80 transmits to the sub-integrated control device 83 an end-per-map command indicating that the effect at the end of the normal game has been completed, and ends this processing.
(10) Pre-reading sign effect processing Next, the pre-reading sign effect processing for performing the pre-reading sign effect suggesting whether or not the pre-reading effect is performed in conjunction with the change display of the normal symbol is shown in the flowchart of FIG. It explains using. This process is a process executed periodically (for example, every 2 ms) by the sub integrated control device 83.

  In S800, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not a universal change start command has been received from the main control device 80. If the determination is affirmative (S800: Yes), the process proceeds to S802. If the determination is negative (S800: No), this process ends.

  In S802, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the normal symbol lottery has been won based on the received general symbol change start command. If the determination is affirmative (S802: Yes), the process proceeds to S804. If the determination is negative (S802: No), the process ends.

  In S804, the sub-integrated control device 83 performs a variable display of the normal symbol effect symbol corresponding to the normal symbol lottery on the effect symbol display device 6 as the pre-reading sign effect, and the normal symbol corresponding to the normal symbol that is confirmed and displayed. A roulette effect (details will be described later) for displaying the effect symbol is started, and this process is terminated.

(11) On-hold display processing Next, on-hold display processing for displaying the on-hold symbol corresponding to the on-hold storage on the effect symbol display device 6 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. This process is a process executed periodically (for example, every 2 ms) by the sub integrated control device 83.

  In S810, the sub integrated control device 83 receives any one of the first prefetch commands 1 to 3, the second prefetch commands 1 to 3, the first and second hold number commands from the main control device 80. It is determined whether the number of the first or second reserved memory has been acquired. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S810: Yes), the process proceeds to S812, and if a negative determination is obtained (S810: No), this process ends.

  The first look-ahead commands 1 to 3 and the second look-ahead commands 1 to 3 are received when the hold memory increases due to winning at the first and second start ports 11 and 12, and the first and second hold numbers are received. The command is received when the pending memory is exhausted.

  In S812, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the prefetch information is received from the main control device 80 (whether or not the first and second prefetch commands 1 to 3 are received), and an affirmative determination is obtained. If yes (S812: Yes), the process proceeds to S814, and if a negative determination is obtained (S812: No), the process ends at S826.

  In S814, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the prefetch flag is 0 (determination that the prefetch effect is not performed), and if a positive determination is obtained (S814: Yes). The process proceeds to S816, and if a negative determination is obtained (S814: No), the process proceeds to S826.

  In S816, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not a new winning for the second start port 12 has occurred, depending on whether or not the second prefetch command has been received. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S816: Yes), the process proceeds to S818. If a negative determination is obtained (S816: No), the process proceeds to S826.

  In S818, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the first pending storage has occurred, and if an affirmative determination is obtained (S818: Yes), the process proceeds to S820 and a negative determination is made. If it is obtained (S818: No), the process proceeds to S826.

  In S820, the sub integrated control device 83 wins in the big hit lottery based on the first reserved memory that has not been digested based on the first prefetch command received earlier, or the big hit corresponding to the first reserved memory Judge whether it will be out of reach in the production. And when it is a hit with the first reserved memory that has not been digested, or when it is out of reach with the big hit effect corresponding to the first reserved memory (S820: Yes), the process proceeds to S822. In addition, when the big hit effect corresponding to the first reserved storage is out of normal (S820: No), the process proceeds to S826.

  Note that, during the privilege gaming state, the sub integrated control device 83 receives the first prefetch command that does not include the prefetch information, and therefore always branches to S826 in S820. For this reason, pre-reading effects are not performed during the bonus game state.

In S822, the sub integrated control device 83 sets a prefetch flag, and proceeds to S824.
In S824, the sub-integrated control device 83 sets the first holding memory that is a big hit (the first holding memory that is out of reach when there is no first holding memory that is a big hit) as the target of the pre-reading effect. The symbol display device 6 starts a bingo effect (details will be described later), which is a continuous notice effect for the first reserved memory, and the process proceeds to S826.

  Note that prefetch effects may be performed for one first hold memory, and when there are a plurality of first hold memories that are out of reach, these first hold memories are set as targets for the prefetch effects. You may do it.

  In S826, when the first and second reserved memories are newly generated, the sub integrated control device 83 displays the corresponding reserved symbols on the effect symbol display device 6, and the first and second reserved memories are consumed. If it is, the reserved symbol corresponding to the digested reserved memory is deleted, and the display position of the reserved symbol is updated. Further, when the first hold memory is newly set as a target of the prefetch effect, by changing the hold symbol corresponding to the first hold memory displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 to the prefetch hold symbol, A pre-read notification effect is performed. Then, this process ends.

  Note that in S816, it is determined whether or not a new winning for the second start port 12 has occurred. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In S816, based on the winning number notification command, it is determined whether or not a predetermined number of second start ports 12 or more has been won, and if a positive determination is obtained. If a negative determination is obtained in S818 (S816: Yes) (S816: No), the process may be shifted to S826. Thereby, in a state where the first reserved memory is generated, the pre-reading effect is performed in response to the predetermined number of winnings occurring in the opened second start port 12.

(12) About Effect Processing Next, effect processing for performing a jackpot effect on the effect symbol display device 6 in response to the change start command will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. This process is a process executed periodically (for example, every 2 ms) by the sub integrated control device 83.

  In S830, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not a change start command has been received from the main control device 80. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S830: Yes), the process proceeds to S832. If a negative determination is obtained (S830: No), this process ends.

  In S832, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the prefetch flag is 1 (whether or not the prefetch effect is being executed), and if an affirmative determination is obtained (S832: Yes), The process proceeds to S834, and if a negative determination is obtained (S832: No), the process proceeds to S836.

  In S834, the sub-integrated control device 83 starts the big hit effect (effect symbol variation display) corresponding to the variation start command in the effect symbol display device 6 for the digested on-hold storage, and the effect symbol display device. 6 is updated (details will be described later), and the process proceeds to S838.

  In S838, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the received change start command corresponds to the first reserved memory that is the target of the prefetching effect (whether the bingo effect ends at the current jackpot effect). Or not). If an affirmative determination is obtained (S838: Yes), the process proceeds to S840, and if a negative determination is obtained (S838: No), this process ends.

In S840, the sub integrated control device 83 sets a continuous notice effect end flag indicating that the bingo effect ends in the current jackpot effect, and ends this processing.
On the other hand, in S836 that is shifted to when the pre-reading effect is not performed, the sub integrated control device 83 makes a big hit effect (effects symbol) of the content corresponding to the change start command in the effect symbol display device 6 for the digested hold memory. The normal production start process for starting the fluctuation display) is executed, and this process ends.

(12) Variation Stop Processing Next, the variation stop processing in which the effect symbol display device 6 stops the variation display of the effect symbols in accordance with the symbol determination command and the effect symbols are confirmed and displayed is shown in FIG. It demonstrates using the flowchart of these. This process is a process executed periodically (for example, every 2 ms) by the sub integrated control device 83.

  In S850, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not a symbol determination command has been received from the main control device 80. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S850: Yes), the process proceeds to S852. If a negative determination is obtained (S850: No), this process ends.

  In S852, the sub integrated control device 83 stops the change display of the effect symbol on the effect symbol display device 6, performs the symbol stop process for performing the effect display confirmation according to the symbol confirmation command, and shifts the process to S854. To do.

  In S854, the sub integrated control device 83 corresponds to the first reserved memory in which the current big hit effect is the target of the pre-reading effect, and whether the bingo effect (continuous notice effect) ends at the current big hit effect. It is determined whether or not (continuous notice effect end flag is 1). If an affirmative determination is obtained (S854: Yes), the process proceeds to S856, and if a negative determination is obtained (S854: No), this process ends.

  In S856, the sub integrated control device 83 clears the continuous notice effect end flag, clears the prefetch flag (S858), and performs a bingo effect end process for ending the bingo effect (S860). Exit.

(13) Pre-reading sign effect Next, the pre-reading sign effect will be described. The pre-reading sign effect is performed from the start of the variable display for the normal symbol lottery to the end of the normal game played by the winning in the normal symbol lottery, and includes the roulette effect described above.

  First, the roulette effect performed in conjunction with the normal symbol variation display will be described with reference to the explanatory diagram shown in FIG. The roulette effect is performed in conjunction with the normal symbol fluctuation display when winning in the normal symbol lottery, and the normal symbol that is stopped and displayed corresponds to the long open pattern or the short open pattern Notify if

  When the sub-integrated control device 83 receives the general symbol change start command from the main control device 80, the sub-integrated control device 83 corresponds to the normal symbol lottery in the roulette effect region 900 on the lower center side on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. A roulette effect is performed by variably displaying the symbols (see FIG. 26A).

  When the sub integrated control device 83 receives the normal symbol confirmation command from the main control device 80, the sub integrated control device 83 ends the fluctuation display of the common symbol effect symbol in the roulette effect region 900 and confirms the universal symbol effect symbol corresponding to the winning symbol. By displaying, the normal symbol lottery is won, the challenge of acquiring the pre-reading effect is notified, and the roulette effect is ended.

  Specifically, when the winning symbol corresponds to the long open pattern, for example, the ordinary symbol effect symbol indicating the animal character (Tatsuyoshi Kuma) is stopped (see FIG. 26B), and the winning symbol is short. When it corresponds to an open pattern, you may stop-display the general drawing effect symbol which shows x mark (refer FIG.26 (c)).

  When the ordinary electric combination is released in the long release pattern, the super challenge mode is set. When the normal electric combination is released in the short release pattern, the challenge mode is set.

In addition, after the roulette effect is finished, the prefetching sign effect may be continued as follows.
That is, after the roulette effect is finished, when the ordinary game is started and the ordinary electric accessory (second start port 12) is opened, the sub integrated control device 83 receives the ordinary game start command from the main controller 80. However, with this as an opportunity, the sub integrated control device 83 starts an effect indicating that it is during a challenge period (super challenge mode or challenge mode) for acquiring a prefetch effect on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 You may do it. Specifically, the remaining time of the open period of the ordinary electric accessory may be displayed. Also, if a pre-reading effect is to be performed when a predetermined number of game balls of two or more wins the ordinary electric accessory in the state in which the first reserved memory is generated, The number of game balls that have entered may be displayed.

  Then, based on the winning number notification command, the second look-ahead command, etc. received from the main controller 80, it is found that a predetermined number of game balls have won the ordinary electric accessory in the state where the first reserved memory exists. In this case, the sub integrated control device 83 may display on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 that the prefetch effect has been acquired.

In addition, when the general game end command is received from the main control device 80, the sub integrated control device 83 may end the above-mentioned effect and start a pre-reading effect.
(14) Pre-reading effect Next, the pre-reading effect will be described with reference to FIGS.

  When it is decided to perform the pre-reading effect, on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, the pre-reading hold for notifying that the first reserved symbol corresponding to the first reserved memory that is the target of the pre-reading effect will be won in the big hit lottery. By changing to the pattern 912, a prefetch notification effect is performed (see FIG. 27A).

  At the same time as the start of the pre-read notification effect, the change display of the effect symbol that has been performed at the center of the effect symbol display device 6 is performed in the upper left area toward the screen. A square area in the center is newly set as a bingo effect area 910, and a bingo effect that is a continuous notice effect is started in the bingo effect area 910 (see FIG. 27A).

  This bingo effect area 910 is divided into a total of nine square small areas of 3 in the vertical direction and 3 in the horizontal direction, and an animal character (Tatsuyoshi Bear) is displayed in the small area located in the center. In each other small area, any number from 1 to 99 is displayed.

  Each time the stored memory is digested and a new jackpot effect is started, any number from 1 to 99 is newly displayed on the side of the bingo effect area 910, and the number is displayed in any small area. Is displayed, a “Lucky” character is displayed above the bingo effect area 910 and an “X” mark is displayed in the small area. On the other hand, when the number is not displayed in any of the small areas, the word “sorry” is displayed above the bingo effect area 910 (FIGS. 27B, 27C, and 28A). )reference).

  After that, when the big hit effect for the first reserved memory that is the target of the prefetch effect is started and the prefetch hold symbol 912 disappears from the screen, the bingo is established (three small lines arranged in the vertical or horizontal direction). All the areas are marked with “x” marks, or “x” marks are placed on all the two small areas sandwiching the small area where the animal character (Tatsuyoshi Kuma) is displayed in the center. In the state marked with “”, the characters “bingo” are displayed above the bingo effect area 910, indicating that there is a high possibility of winning in the big hit lottery based on the first reserved memory (FIG. 28 ( b)).

[Second Embodiment]
[Description of operation]
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 50 in the second embodiment will be described.

  The pachinko machine 50 in the second embodiment performs a jackpot lottery, a jackpot effect, a pre-read sign effect, etc., as in the first embodiment, but the conditions for starting the pre-read effect and the content of the pre-read effect are different. Accordingly, the contents of the hold display process, the effect process, and the fluctuation stop process are partially different. This difference will be described below.

(1) About the pre-reading effect In the second embodiment, in the normal gaming state, all the big hit effects based on the respective second reserved memories are out of normal, and four first reserved memories are generated. The pre-reading effect is performed in response to the occurrence of the winning at the second start opening 12 times. Note that the number of first reserved memories related to the trigger of the pre-reading effect is not limited to four, but may be 1 to 3, and the number of winnings to the second start port 12 related to the trigger is 4 The number of times is not limited to two or three.

  Then, when it is determined to perform a pre-reading effect for any first reserved memory that is a big hit or out of reach, on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, the first corresponding to all the first reserved memories. A pre-reading notification effect is performed by changing the 1-holding symbol to a pre-reading holding symbol 920 for notifying that a big hit lottery will be won (see FIG. 29A). Thereby, it becomes ambiguous in which scene in the continuous notice effect (a battle effect described later) performed in parallel with the pre-read notification effect, and the fun can be increased. Note that the pre-read notification effect may be performed by displaying the entire display area of all the first reserved symbols in a different manner. Moreover, you may change only the 1st reservation symbol corresponding to the 1st reservation memory used as the object of a prefetch effect to a prefetch reservation symbol.

  Simultaneously with the start of the pre-read notification effect, the change display of the effect symbol that was performed at the center of the effect symbol display device 6 is now performed in the upper left area toward the screen. Then, a battle effect that is a continuous notice effect is started (see FIG. 29A).

  In the battle production, the battle between the main character and the rival is displayed on the screen of the production symbol display device 6 in parallel with the jackpot production, and this battle progresses at the timing synchronized with the digestion of reserved memory (start of a new jackpot production). To do.

  That is, immediately after the start of the battle effect, a state in which the main character 930 walks in the wilderness is displayed (see FIGS. 29A to 29B), and a timing at which a jackpot effect based on any second reserved memory is newly started. A rival 940 appears (see FIGS. 29C to 29D). Then, when the oldest first reserved memory is consumed, the battle between the main character 930 and the rival 940 begins (see FIG. 30A).

  When the big hit lottery based on the first reserved memory is lost, the battle progresses with the main character 930 inferior (the battle progresses in the order of FIGS. 30A to 30D). If the pre-reading effect is intended for another first reserved memory, the battle effect is continued even after the jackpot effect ends (FIG. 30 (e)), and the pre-reading effect is targeted for the first reserved memory. If so, the battle effect ends with the end of the jackpot effect based on the first reserved memory (FIG. 30 (f)).

  On the other hand, when the big hit lottery based on the first reserved memory is won, the battle proceeds with the main character 930 predominating (following FIGS. 30A and 30B, FIGS. 31A to 31D). ), The main character 930 eventually wins, and the winning symbol is confirmed and displayed in the jackpot effect (see FIG. 31 (d)).

  When the battle effect is continued, a new battle is started at the timing when the next first hold memory is consumed (FIG. 32A is displayed following FIG. 30E). ). When the winning is the first hold memory, the battle progresses in a state where the main character 930 is advantageous, the main character 930 eventually wins, and the winning symbol is confirmed and displayed in the big hit effect (FIG. 32). (Refer to (b) to (d)).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when a battle effect that is a continuous notice effect is executed as a jackpot effect based on the second reserved memory as shown in FIGS. With the various developments as shown in FIG. 1, a continuous notice effect (battle effect) based on any first reserved memory that is a big hit or missed reach is executed. This suggests that there is a reserved memory that will be a big hit or missed reach in any of the first reserved memories by executing a continuous notice effect (battle effect) based on the second reserved memory (notification). It is a function to do. In other words, this is based on the premise of the configuration of the second embodiment, and the pre-reading advance notice related to the first hold memory is performed by executing a continuous notice effect based on the second hold memory different from the first hold memory. is there.

By configuring in this way, it is possible to perform a new advance notice that the advance notice of the hold memory is made by executing a continuous notice based on another hold memory different from the hold memory.
Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, in the continuous notice effect (battle effect) based on the second reserved memory shown in FIGS. 29A to 29B, the rival 940 appears, but a development that does not appear is provided. May be. When it does not appear, the expansion as shown in FIGS. 30 to 32 is not executed. When it appears, it is developed so as to develop as shown in FIGS. In other words, this means that there is a high-expected reserved memory in the first reserved memory that will be a big hit or out of reach depending on the content (effect result) of the battle effect that is a continuous notice effect as a big hit effect based on the second reserved memory. It is a function that suggests (informs) to do. That is, on the premise of the configuration of the second embodiment, the pre-reading notice notification related to the first hold storage is made based on the contents (effect results) of the effect of the continuous notice effect based on the second hold memory different from the first hold memory. It is to inform.

  By configuring in this way, even if the second hold memory is all lost, it is possible to perform the pre-read notice notification related to the first hold memory by developing the continuous notice effect based on the second hold memory. Can be noticed, and the player can pay attention to the result of the continuous notice effect based on the second reserved memory.

(2) About a hold display process Next, the place different from 1st embodiment is demonstrated about the hold display process of 2nd embodiment.

  In S816, the sub integrated control device 83, based on the winning number notification command, when the ordinary electric accessory (second start port 12) is opened in the ordinary game, four prizes are awarded to the ordinary electric accessory. It is determined whether or not an error has occurred. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S816: Yes), the process proceeds to S818. If a negative determination is obtained (S816: No), the process proceeds to S826.

  In S818, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not four first pending storages have occurred. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S818: Yes), the process proceeds to S820. When a negative determination is obtained (S818: No), the process proceeds to S826.

  In S820, the sub integrated control device 83 wins in the big hit lottery based on the first reserved memory that has not been digested based on the first received prefetch command or corresponds to the first reserved memory. It is determined whether or not it will be out of reach by the big hit effect. In addition, based on the received second look-ahead command, it is determined whether or not the reach of the jackpot effect based on all the second reserved memories is out of reach. If an affirmative determination is obtained in both determinations (S820: Yes), the process proceeds to S822. If a negative determination is obtained in at least one of the determinations (S820: No), the process proceeds to S826.

  Note that, during the privilege gaming state, the sub integrated control device 83 receives the first prefetch command that does not include the prefetch information, and therefore always branches to S826 in S820. For this reason, pre-reading effects are not performed during the bonus game state.

  Further, in S824, the sub integrated control device 83 sets the first holding memory that is a big hit (the first holding memory that is out of reach when there is no first holding memory that becomes a big hit) as the target of the pre-reading effect. Then, the effect symbol display device 6 starts a battle effect as a continuous notice effect for the first reserved memory, and the process proceeds to S826.

  In S826, the sub integrated control device 83 updates the display position of the reserved symbol as in the first embodiment. Further, when a pre-reading effect is performed, the pre-reading notification effect is performed by changing the first reserved symbols corresponding to the four first reserved memories displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 to the pre-reading reserved symbols. Then, this process ends.

(3) About the production process Next, the production process of the second embodiment will be described with respect to differences from the first embodiment.

  In S834, the sub-integrated control device 83 starts the big hit effect (effect symbol variation display) corresponding to the variation start command in the effect symbol display device 6 for the digested on-hold storage, and the effect symbol display device. The battle effect screen being performed at 6 is updated (details will be described later), and the process proceeds to S838.

  Further, in S838, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the received change start command corresponds to the first reserved memory that is the target of the prefetch effect (the battle effect ends at the current jackpot effect). Or not). If an affirmative determination is obtained (S838: Yes), the process proceeds to S840, and if a negative determination is obtained (S838: No), this process ends.

Further, in S840, the sub integrated control device 83 sets a continuous notice effect end flag indicating that the battle effect ends in the current big hit effect, and ends this processing.
(4) About process at the time of a change stop Next, about the process at the time of a change stop of a second embodiment, the part which is different from a 1st embodiment is explained.

  In S854, the sub integrated control device 83 corresponds to the first reserved memory in which the current big hit effect is the target of the prefetching effect, and the battle effect (continuous notice effect) ends with the current big hit effect. It is determined whether or not (continuous notice effect end flag is 1). If an affirmative determination is obtained (S854: Yes), the process proceeds to S856, and if a negative determination is obtained (S854: No), this process ends.

In S860, the sub integrated control device 83 performs a battle effect end process for ending the battle effect, and ends this process.
[effect]
According to the pachinko machine 50 of the first and second embodiments, in the state in which the first reserved memory is generated, not the winning in the internal lottery related to whether or not the pre-reading effect performed in the pachinko machine 50 is performed. The pre-reading effect is performed when a prize is generated in the opened ordinary electric accessory (second start port 12). For this reason, the trigger of the prefetch effect becomes different from the conventional one, the sense of feeling is wiped out, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, since the fact that the first reserved memory has occurred and the winning to the ordinary electric accessory is a fact that the player can visually recognize, unlike the case where the winning in the internal lottery is a trigger, the pre-reading effect is performed. The process up to the start becomes clear, and the player does not feel distrust about the opportunity of the pre-reading effect. In addition, the unique characteristics of pachinko machines, such as the occurrence of the first reserved memory, the normal symbol lottery, and the release of ordinary electric accessories, trigger the pre-reading effect, so that the fun unique to pachinko machines can be further enhanced. .

  Further, in the pachinko machine 50, it is possible to link the actions of the components that have not been directly related to the pre-reading effect in the past, such as the normal symbol operating gate 17, the normal symbol display device 7, and the normal electric accessory. And this is the opportunity for prefetching. For this reason, it is possible to enhance the interest of the prefetching effect by synergistic action, to perform the prefetching notification effect with a sense of unity, and to further enhance the interest of the game.

[Other Embodiments]
(1) In the pachinko machine 50 according to the first and second embodiments, the second reserved memory is preferentially digested. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be sequentially digested from the previously generated retained memory. .

  Further, in the pachinko machine 50, only the pre-reading effect for the first reserved memory is performed during the normal gaming state, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first and second reserved memories are stored during the normal gaming state. Similar pre-reading effects may be performed for both or one, or similar pre-reading effects may be performed for both or one of the first and second reserved memories during the bonus game state.

Even in such a case, the same effect can be obtained.
(2) Further, in the hold display process of the first and second embodiments, when a condition such as the first hold memory is established regardless of the opening pattern of the ordinary electric accessory (second start port 12). When a prize is awarded to the ordinary electric accessory, execution of the pre-reading effect is determined.

  However, the execution of the pre-reading effect may be determined when a prize is awarded to the ordinary electric utility released with the long release pattern when the above condition is satisfied. Specifically, in S816 of the hold display process, it is determined whether or not the ordinary electric accessory has been released by the long open pattern and a winning (or a predetermined number of winnings) has occurred to the ordinary electric accessory. If the determination is affirmative, the process may be shifted to S818, and if the determination is negative, the process may be shifted to S826.

On the contrary, when the above condition is satisfied, if a prize is awarded to the ordinary electric utility that is opened with the short opening pattern, execution of the pre-reading effect may be determined.
Also, for example, when a prize is awarded to an ordinary electric instrument released with the short release pattern when the above condition is satisfied, a pre-reading effect for the first reserved memory is performed and the normal release with the long release pattern is performed. When a winning for the electric accessory occurs, a pre-reading effect for the second reserved memory may be performed.

By doing so, the interest of the game can be enhanced.
(3) In addition, in the hold display process of the first and second embodiments and the hold display process described in (2) of [Other Embodiments], a prize for the ordinary electric accessory occurs when the above condition is satisfied. Thus, when the total sum of the first and second reserved memories reaches a predetermined number, execution of the prefetch effect may be determined.

  Specifically, for example, in S816 of the hold display process of the first and second embodiments, a prize for the ordinary electric accessory occurs, and as a result, the total sum of the first and second hold memories reaches a predetermined number. If the determination is affirmative, the process may proceed to S818. If the determination is negative, the process may proceed to S826.

  In this way, since the prefetch effect is started only when a predetermined number of hold memories have occurred, the big hit effect that is performed from the execution decision of the prefetch effect until the hold memory that is the target of the prefetch effect is digested The number of times can be kept within a certain range. For this reason, it is possible to suppress an increase in the pattern of the continuous notice effect that is performed as one of the prefetch effects, and it is possible to suppress the size of the program and data for the prefetch effects.

  (4) In the pachinko machine 50 according to the first and second embodiments, two types of open patterns, that is, a long open pattern and a short open pattern, are provided as the open pattern of the ordinary electric accessory. May be provided.

  Of these open patterns, the one with the longest open time is a long open pattern, and the other open patterns may be short open patterns, and the one with an open time exceeding a predetermined threshold is a long open pattern. In addition, other open patterns may be short open patterns. Among these open patterns, the shortest open pattern may be the short open pattern, and the other open pattern may be the long open pattern, and the short open pattern is the short open pattern. In addition, another open pattern may be a long open pattern.

Even in such a case, the same effect can be obtained.
(5) Further, in the pachinko machine 50 according to the first and second embodiments, the sub-integrated control device 83 performs the pre-reading effect and the pre-reading effect, but the main control device 80 may perform these processes. . Further, although the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not to perform the prefetching effect, the main control device 80 may perform the determination.

Even in such a case, the same effect can be obtained.
