  However, if the start memory number is not displayed on the display screen as in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, there is a problem that it is difficult for the player to grasp the start memory number. If the number of holds is displayed at two locations and the display is continued at one of the locations as in the described gaming machine, the display of the number of held holds is still in the way of other displays. There was a problem of becoming.

  The present invention solves the above-described problems, and provides a gaming machine in which a player can easily grasp the number of holds and can reduce the possibility that the display of the number of holds will interfere with other displays. The purpose is to do.

The gaming machine according to the present invention has an acquisition unit that acquires determination information when the start condition is satisfied, and a determination that determines whether or not to perform a special game advantageous to the player based on the determination information acquired by the acquisition unit. A game effect control means for causing a predetermined effect means to perform a game effect based on a determination result by the determination means, a storage means capable of storing a predetermined number of pieces of determination information acquired by the acquisition means, and a predetermined value Display control means for displaying a reserved image indicating the number of pieces of determination information stored in the storage means on the display means, and detection means for detecting that a predetermined operation has been performed by the player; The display control means includes a non-display control means for hiding the held image when a predetermined game effect is being performed by the game effect control means, and a front display by the non-display control means. Re-display control means for re-displaying the hold image when the predetermined operation is detected by the detection means during a predetermined effective period when the hold image is hidden. The game effect control means can perform a suggestion effect suggesting that the predetermined operation for redisplaying the reserved image is effective during the effective period.

  Here, the re-display control means may continuously re-display the hold image until a predetermined period elapses after the predetermined operation is detected by the detection means.

  Further, the detection means can detect that a continuous specific operation is being performed by the player, and the re-display control means can detect the specific operation after the start of the specific operation is detected by the detection means. The hold image may be continuously displayed again until the end of the operation is detected.

  According to the present invention, when the player performs a predetermined operation, the non-displayed hold image is displayed again, so that the player can easily grasp the number of holds.

  A gaming machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the gaming machine 1 is a pachinko gaming machine and includes a gaming board 3 attached inside the front frame 2. In the game board 3, a game area 5 in which game balls launched by the operation of the handle 4 flow down is surrounded by rail members 6. In the game area 5, a large number of game nails (not shown) for guiding a game ball are projected. On the front frame 2, an effect button 7, a frame lamp 8, and a speaker 9 are arranged, and on the game board 3, a board lamp 10 (see FIG. 3) is arranged.

  Here, in the present specification, “upper and lower” means the upper and lower sides in a state where the gaming machine 1 is erected in order to play a game, and the “left and right” mean the left and right toward the game area 5 of the game board 3. The front side of the game board 3 (the game area 5 side) is the front, and the back side of the game board 3 is the rear.

  A display screen 111 of an image display 11 (corresponding to display means) is arranged at the center of the game area 5. The image display 11 displays on the display screen 111 a demonstration for waiting for a customer, decoration pattern variation, a jackpot effect performed in parallel with the jackpot game, and the like. The decorative symbol variation is composed of decorative symbols such as numbers and effect images other than the decorative symbol, and is stopped after the decorative symbol is changed, and the result of the jackpot determination is notified by the stopped decorative symbol. is there. This decoration symbol variation is performed in parallel with a special symbol variation described later.

  In the central part of the game board 3, a center accessory device 12 is arranged so as to surround the display screen 111 of the image display 11. A first movable accessory device 13 having a movable body 131 and a second movable accessory device 14 having a movable body 141 are attached to the center accessory device 12. The movable bodies 131 and 141 are configured to be movable to the left and right along the display screen 111, and as shown in FIG. 2 (a state in the storage position) and a state (a state in the exposure position) where there are many parts that appear in front of the display screen 111 and are visible to the player, as shown in FIG.

  A start winning device 15 is provided at the lower center of the game area 5 in the left-right direction. The start winning device 15 is opened and closed by a first start port 151 that is always open and the ease of entering a game ball does not change at all times, and a second start port solenoid 153 (see FIG. 3). A second start port 152 that is variable between a possible state and a state where it is impossible to enter the ball is provided. In addition, the game area 5 is provided with a large winning device 16, a gate 17 through which game balls can pass, and a plurality of normal winning ports 18. The special winning device 16 includes a special winning opening 161 that is opened and closed by a special winning opening solenoid 162 (see FIG. 3), and is variable between a state in which a game ball can enter and a state in which it cannot enter.

  On the outside of the game area 5, a symbol display 19 and a holding lamp 20 composed of a plurality of lamps are provided. The first special symbol indicator 191 and the second special symbol indicator 192 (see FIG. 3) included in the symbol indicator 19 trigger the winning of the game balls to the first start port 151 and the second start port 152, respectively. The result of the jackpot determination performed as follows is notified by a special symbol that is stopped and displayed through the variation display (this is referred to as “special symbol variation”). If the symbol stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 191 and the second special symbol display 192 is a big win symbol or a small win symbol, a big win game or a small win game for opening and closing the big prize opening 161 a predetermined number of times is performed. . The jackpot game and the jackpot game are collectively referred to as a hit game.

  When the game ball wins (enters) the first starting port 151 or the second starting port 152 during the special symbol change or the winning game, the main control board 30 (see FIG. 3) has acquired for the winning. Determination information such as a jackpot random number is acquired, and if it is a prize to the first start port 151, it is stored in the first hold storage unit 301 (see FIG. 3), and if it is a prize to the second start port 152, it is a second hold memory. The jackpot determination based on the determination information is stored in the unit 302 (see FIG. 3) until the special symbol variation based on the determination information can be executed (that is, based on the determination information stored before the determination information). Hold until special symbols change and winning games are all finished. Hereinafter, the number of jackpot determinations that are held is referred to as “holding number”, the holding number for winning to the first start port 151 is the first holding number, and the holding number for winning to the second start port 152 is the second holding. It is called a number. Then, when the special symbol variation becomes executable, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit based on the stored determination information, and the special symbol variation is executed. The first reserved storage unit 301 and the second reserved storage unit 302 are provided in the RAM of the main control board 30 and correspond to storage means.

  The first special symbol hold lamp 201 and the second special symbol hold lamp 202 (see FIG. 3) included in the hold lamp 20 are determination information stored in the first hold storage unit 301 and the second hold storage unit 302, respectively. Is displayed (ie, the number of holds). Note that the maximum number of pieces of determination information stored in the first hold storage unit 301 and the second hold storage unit 302 is four, so that four pieces of determination information are stored in the first hold storage unit 301. When the game ball wins the first start port 151 in a state where it is played, or when the game ball wins the second start port 152 with the four pieces of determination information stored in the second holding storage unit 302 No determination information such as jackpot random numbers is acquired for the winning.

  In addition, the hold number can be displayed on a predetermined part of the display screen 111. In the present embodiment, when the first movable accessory device 13 and the second movable accessory device 14 have the movable bodies 131 and 141 disposed at the storage position, the first reserved book display portion 112a shown in FIG. The number of holds in the first hold storage unit 301, the number of holds in the second hold storage unit 302 on the second hold book display unit 112b, and the number of hold images I (see FIG. 24) corresponding to the number of holds are displayed. To display. As shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 1, eight reserved images I can be displayed in total. The first reserved book display unit 112a and the second reserved book display unit 112b are collectively referred to as a reserved book display unit 112. The reserved book display unit 112 is provided at the end of the display screen 111 so as not to obstruct other displays, and when the movable body 131 moves to the exposure position, it is hidden by the movable body 131 so that it cannot be seen from the front. (See FIGS. 24A and 24B). On the other hand, when the first movable accessory device 13 and the second movable accessory device 14 expose the movable bodies 131 and 141 to the exposed position, a predetermined operation (in this case, an effect button) is performed during a predetermined effective time. 7), the number of holds in the first hold storage unit 301 and the second hold storage unit 302 is displayed on the hold redisplay unit 113 shown in FIG. To do. Note that the hold redisplay unit 113 is divided into a first hold redisplay unit 113a and a second hold redisplay unit 113b, and the hold image I indicating the number of holds in the first hold storage unit 301 is the first hold redisplay. The hold image I indicating the number of holds in the second hold storage unit 302 is displayed on the second hold redisplay unit 113b on the part 113a. The hold redisplay unit 113 is a part of the display screen 111 that is not concealed even when the movable bodies 131 and 141 move to the exposure position.

  The normal symbol display unit 193 (see FIG. 3) included in the symbol display unit 19 displays the result of the normal symbol determination performed when the game ball passes to the gate 17 as a trigger by the normal symbol that is stopped and displayed via the variable display. It is to inform. If the stop-displayed normal symbol is a winning symbol, an auxiliary game for opening the second start port 152 is performed for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times.

  When the game ball passes through the gate 17 during the normal symbol fluctuation display or the auxiliary game, the main control board 30 acquires and stores a random number for the passage. Then, when the normal symbol variation display can be started, the stored random number is used to determine whether or not the symbol is a hit, and the normal symbol variation display is started. The normal symbol indicating is stopped and displayed. The normal symbol hold lamp 203 (see FIG. 3) included in the hold lamp 20 displays the number of hit random numbers stored in this way. Note that the maximum number of hit random numbers stored is four, so even if the game ball passes through the gate 17 with four hit random numbers stored, acquisition of the hit random numbers for that pass is not performed. I will not.

  Next, the electrical system of the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment will be described based on FIG. The gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment includes a main control board 30, a payout control board 31, and a sub control board 32. The sub control board 32 includes an effect control board 33, an image control board 34, and a lamp control board 35. Yes.

Each control board includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like.

  The main control board 30 mainly performs control related to profits such as jackpot lottery and game state transition. The main control board 30 has a first start port SW (switch) 154 that is provided in the start winning device 15 and detects a game ball that has entered the first start port 151, and is provided in the start winning device 15. 2 A second start port SW 155 that detects a game ball that has entered the start port 152, a second start port solenoid 153 that opens and closes the second start port 152, and a game ball that is provided in the gate 17 and passes through the gate 17 is detected A gate SW 171 that is provided in the grand prize winning device 16, a big prize opening SW 163 that detects a game ball that has entered the big prize opening 161, a big prize opening solenoid 162 that opens and closes the big prize opening 161, and the inside of each normal prize winning opening 18 The normal winning port SW 181 for detecting a game ball that has been placed in the normal winning port 18, the first special symbol holding lamp 201, the second special symbol holding lamp 202, and the normal symbol A lamp lamp 203, a first special symbol indicator 191, a second special symbol indicator 192, and a normal symbol indicator 193 are connected to each other. As indicated by arrows in FIG. 3, a signal is sent from each switch to the main control board 30. A signal is output from the main control board 30 to each solenoid and lamp.

  The main control board 30 transmits various commands to the payout control board 31 and receives signals from the payout control board 31 for payout monitoring. A payout drive motor 21 that drives a payout device (not shown) is connected to the payout control board 31, and the payout control board 31 operates the payout drive motor 21 in accordance with a command received from the main control board 30 to pay out a prize ball. Let it be done.

  Further, the main control board 30 transmits various commands to the effect control board 33, and the effect control board 33 transmits and receives commands and signals to and from the image control board 34. The effect control board 33 is connected to an effect button detection SW 71 that is provided on the effect button 7 and detects that the effect button 7 is operated (pressed here). The image display board 11 and the speaker 9 are connected to the image control board 34, and the image control board 34 displays the decorative design, the reserved image I, etc. on the display screen 111 of the image display 11 according to the command received from the effect control board 33. An image is displayed and sound is output from the speaker 9. The effect control board 33 transmits and receives commands and signals to and from the lamp control board 35. The lamp control board 35 is connected to the frame lamp 8, the panel lamp 10, the first movable accessory device 13, and the second movable accessory device 14, and the lamp control board 35 receives the command received from the effect control board 33. Accordingly, the frame lamp 8 and the panel lamp 10 are turned on / off, and the first movable accessory device 13 and the second movable accessory device 14 are operated.

  Next, the gaming state and the like of the gaming machine 1 will be described. The gaming machine 1 has four game states, a normal game state, a short-time game state, a probability change game state, and a latent probability game state, and a jackpot game and a jackpot game.

  The short-time gaming state refers to a state in which a game ball is more likely to win the second starting port 152 than in the normal gaming state. In the normal gaming state, the winning probability of normal symbol determination is about 1/10, and the normal symbol variation time is 4 Second, the opening time of the second starting port 152 is 0.15 seconds and the number of times of opening is one, whereas in the short-time gaming state, the winning probability of the normal symbol determination is about 9/10, and the normal symbol variation time is 1.5 seconds. The opening time of the second start port 152 is 1.80 seconds, and the number of times of opening is three.

  The probable gaming state is a state in which it is easier to win a big hit in the jackpot determination than in the normal gaming state, and a game ball is likely to win the second starting port 152. In the normal gaming state, the probability of winning a big hit is about 1/300. On the other hand, in the probability variation gaming state, the jackpot winning probability is about 1/30. In the probability variation gaming state, the winning probability of the normal symbol determination is about 9/10, the normal symbol variation time is 1.5 seconds, the opening time of the second start port 152 is 1.80 seconds, and the number of times of opening is three times, as in the short-time gaming state. It has become.

  The latent game state means a state where it is easier to win a jackpot than the normal game state. In the latent game state, the jackpot winning probability is about 1/30 as in the case of the probability variation game state. In the latent game state, as in the normal game state, the winning probability of the normal symbol determination is about 1/10, the normal symbol fluctuation time is 4 seconds, the opening time of the second start port 152 is 0.15 seconds, and the number of times of opening is 1. It has become times.

  In the initial state, the game state is a normal game state, and if a jackpot is generated, the jackpot game is opened and closed a predetermined number of times, and the game state corresponding to the type of the jackpot is changed. As the types of jackpots, there are 2R (round) latent jackpots as short hits where almost no prize ball can be expected, and there are 15R probability variable jackpots and 15R normal jackpots as long hits that can win many prize balls. In addition to these jackpots, there is a jackpot. In addition, a round means the open period of the grand prize winning opening 161. In the 2R latent winning jackpot, after performing the jackpot game that opens the winning prize port 161 twice in a very short time, the game shifts to the latent gaming state, and in the 15R probability changing jackpot, the jackpot game that opens the winning prize port 161 15 times. After having performed, it changes to a probability change game state, and in 15R normal jackpot, after performing the jackpot game which opens the big winning opening 161 15 times, it changes to a short-time game state. The small hit is an operation that apparently does not change from the 2R latent big hit, and a small hit game is performed in which the big winning opening 161 is opened twice in a very short time, but the game state does not change. It should be noted that the transition to the normal gaming state is also made when the special symbol change is performed 100 times without causing a big hit in the middle of the short-time gaming state.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the jackpot random number takes a value in the range of 0 to 299. In the jackpot determination, in the normal gaming state or the short-time gaming state, the winning probability of the jackpot So that the winning probability per jackpot is 10/300 and the winning probability per jackpot is 3/300 in the probability-changing gaming state or the latent-probable gaming state so that the winning probability per 1/300 is 3/300. Each of them has a random value to be selected. As shown in FIGS. 4 (c) and 4 (d), the jackpot symbol random number takes a value in the range from 0 to 249. The winning rate at the second starting port 152 is 15R normal jackpot so that the probability is 100/250, the winning probability per 15R probability variable jackpot is 75/250, and the winning probability per 2R latent probability jackpot is 75/250. Random numbers for winning are determined so that the winning probability is 100/250, the winning probability per 15R probability variation is 125/250, and the winning probability per 2R latent probability is 25/250.

  Next, the operation of the main control board 30 will be described based on FIGS. Each counter, which will be described later, is provided in the RAM and cleared to zero when the gaming machine 1 is powered on.

  [Main-side timer interrupt process] The main control board 30 repeats the main-side timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 5 at a short cycle of, for example, 4 msec. First, the main control board 30 determines a jackpot random number used for jackpot determination, a jackpot symbol random number for determining the type of jackpot, a reach random number for determining whether or not to perform reach in the decoration symbol variation, and a variation pattern Random number update processing is performed to update the fluctuation pattern random number, the hit random number used for ordinary symbol determination, and the like (step S101).

  Next, the main control board 30 performs a start port SW process (S102), a gate SW process (S103), a big prize port SW process (S104), and a normal prize port SW process (S105). The start port SW process will be described later. The gate SW process is a process for acquiring and storing a hit random number used for normal symbol determination on condition that the number of hit random numbers already stored is less than four if the gate SW 171 is ON. In the big prize opening SW processing, if the big prize opening SW163 is ON, it is determined whether or not a winning game (a winning game flag to be described later is ON) is determined. In this process, 1 is added to C and 1 is added to the value of the big prize counter. The normal winning opening SW process is a process of adding 1 to the value of the normal winning opening counter if the normal winning opening SW 181 is ON.

  Subsequently, the main control board 30 performs a special symbol process (S106), a normal symbol process (S107), a big prize opening process (S108), and an electric chew process (S109). The special symbol process and the big prize opening process will be described later. The normal symbol process is a process for determining the hit random number acquired in the gate SW process and starting and stopping the normal symbol fluctuation for informing the determination result. The electric chew process is a process for opening and closing the second start port 152 according to a predetermined opening pattern when the auxiliary game is won as a result of the normal symbol process.

  Then, the main control board 30 has the number of prize balls according to the value of the start prize counter, the number of prize balls according to the value of the big prize counter, and the number of prizes according to the value of the normal prize counter. A command for paying a ball is set, a prize ball process (S110) for clearing the counters to zero is performed, and an output process for outputting the command set in each of the above processes to the payout control board 31 and the effect control board 33 (S111) is performed.

  [Starting Port SW Process] As shown in FIG. 6, in the starting port SW process, the main control board 30 determines whether or not the first starting port SW154 is turned on (S201). If the value is ON, the value U1 of the first start port hold counter that counts the number of pieces of determination information stored in the first hold storage unit 301 by adding 1 to the value of the start winning port counter is an upper limit. It is determined whether or not the value is less than 4 (S202). If it is not less than 4, the start-up SW processing is terminated. If it is less than 4, U1 is added to 1 (S203), and determination information used for jackpot determination (in this embodiment, jackpot random number, jackpot symbol random number, reach) Random numbers and fluctuation pattern random numbers) are acquired and stored in the first hold storage unit 301 (S204), and a first hold number increase command is set (S205). The main control board 30 uses the acquired jackpot random number and the jackpot symbol random number to perform a so-called look-ahead for temporarily determining the jackpot using the determination table (see FIG. 4) according to the current gaming state, The prefetch information to be indicated is included in the first pending number increase command.

  In step S206, the main control board 30 determines whether or not the second start port SW155 is turned on. If it is not turned on, the process ends. If it is turned on, 1 is added to the value of the start winning port counter. Then, it is determined whether or not the value U2 of the second starting port hold counter that counts the number of pieces of determination information stored in the second hold storage unit 302 is less than the upper limit of 4 (S207). If it is not less than 4, the start-up SW processing is finished. If it is less than 4, 1 is added to U2 (S208), and the determination information used for the jackpot determination is acquired and stored in the second holding storage unit 302. (S209), the second hold number increase command is set (S210), and the start port SW process is terminated. Note that the prefetch information is also included in the second pending number increase command.

  [Special Symbol Processing] As shown in FIG. 7, in the special symbol processing, the main control board 30 makes a winning game flag indicating whether or not a winning game is being played (that is, a small winning game flag, a long winning game flag, or a short game flag). It is determined whether or not the winning game flag) is ON (S401). If it is ON, the special symbol variation cannot be started and the process is terminated. If it is not ON, it is determined whether or not the special symbol variation is in progress (S402). If it is changing, the process proceeds to step S411. If it is not changing, the special symbol change can be started, and therefore it is determined whether or not the value U2 of the second start port holding counter is 1 or more (S403). If U2 is 1 or more, the main control board 30 uses the determination information stored in the second reserved storage unit 302, which is stored first, in the jackpot determination process (S407) and variation pattern selection described later. 1 is subtracted from U2 (S404). On the other hand, if U2 is not 1 or more, it is determined whether or not the value U1 of the first start port holding counter is 1 or more (S405). If U1 is not 1 or more, the process ends, but U1 is 1 or more. If so, the earliest stored determination information stored in the first hold storage unit 301 is used for the jackpot determination process (S407) and the variation pattern selection process (S408). Subtract (S406). As described above, the determination information stored in the second hold storage unit 302 is used in preference to the information stored in the first hold storage unit 301, and is used in order from the previously stored determination information. .

  The main control board 30 performs jackpot determination processing (S407) and variation pattern selection processing (S408). These processes will be described later. The main control board 30 erases the determination information used for these processes from the first reservation storage unit 301 or the second reservation storage unit 302. And if it is with respect to the determination information memorize | stored in the 1st holding | maintenance memory | storage part 301, it will be 2nd special symbol if it is with respect to the determination information memorize | stored in the 1st special symbol display 191 and the 2nd reservation memory | storage part 302. The display 192 starts special symbol fluctuation (S409), sets a fluctuation start command (S410), and proceeds to step S411. The variation start command includes information indicating the current gaming state, information indicating the symbol set in the jackpot determination process, and information indicating the variation pattern set in the variation pattern selection process. In step S411, it is determined whether or not the variation time of the special symbol has elapsed, and if it has not elapsed, the special symbol processing is terminated, but if it has elapsed, the variation of the special symbol is stopped and the jackpot determination processing is performed. A special symbol is fixedly displayed with the set symbol (S412), a variable stop command is set (S413), a stop process (S414) described later is performed, and the special symbol process is completed.

  [Big hit determination processing] As shown in FIG. 8, in the big hit determination processing, the main control board 30 determines whether or not the big hit random number is a big hit using the determination table shown in FIG. 4 (S501). If it is a jackpot (YES in S502), it is determined which jackpot symbol the jackpot symbol random number indicates (S503), and the jackpot symbol is set (S504). The type of jackpot is determined by the jackpot design. On the other hand, if the jackpot random number is not a jackpot (NO in S502), but if it is a small hit (YES in S505), a small hit symbol is set (S506), if it is not a small hit (NO in S505), a lost symbol is set. (S507).

  [Variation Pattern Selection Process] As shown in FIG. 9, in the variation pattern selection process, if the main control board 30 determines that a big hit has been made in the immediately preceding jackpot determination process (YES in S601), the random number value and the fluctuation pattern If the jackpot table is set as a variation pattern table indicating the correspondence between the two (S602), and if it is determined that a small hit (NO in S601, YES in S603), the table for small hits is set as the variation pattern table (S604) . If neither big win nor small win (NO in S603), the reach random number determination table is referred to determine whether the reach random number indicates the presence of reach (S605). (YES in S606), a reach deviation table is set as the variation pattern table (S607), and if there is no reach (NO in S606), a rose deviation table is set as the variation pattern table (S608). Here, the loss of rose means a variation effect pattern in which a decorative design is stopped and displayed without being in a reach state. Next, the main control board 30 refers to the variation pattern table set as described above to determine which variation pattern the variation pattern random number indicates (S609), and the variation pattern indicated by the variation pattern random number Is set (S610).

  [Processing During Stop] As shown in FIG. 10, in the processing during stop, the main control board 30 determines whether or not the time-short game flag indicating whether or not the time-short game state is ON (S701). Proceed to step S705, but if it is ON, the value J of the hour fluctuation counter that counts the number of special symbol fluctuations in the hourly gaming state is decremented by 1 (S702). The time-saving game flag is turned off (S703, 704), and the process proceeds to step S705.

  In step S705, the main control board 30 determines whether or not a probability change game flag indicating whether or not a probability change game state or a latent probability game flag indicating whether or not a latent probability game state is ON. If this is the case, the process proceeds to step S709. If either is ON, the value X of the high probability variation counter for counting the number of special symbol variations in the probability variation gaming state or the latent probability gaming state is subtracted by 1 (S706). If it is 0, in order to finish the probability variation gaming state or the latent probability gaming state, the probability variation gaming flag or the latent certainty gaming flag that was ON is turned OFF (S707, 708), and the process proceeds to step S709.

  In step S709, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit (that is, whether or not the special symbol that has been stopped is a big hit symbol) (S709). The winning game flag is turned ON (S710, 711), and if it is not long, the short winning flag (that is, 2R latent big hit) is turned ON (S710, 712). Then, the time variation counter value J and the high probability variation counter value X are set to 0 (S713), the time variation game flag, the probability variation game flag, and the latent probability game flag are turned off (S714), and the opening starts ( S717), an opening command is set (S718), and the stop process is finished.

  On the other hand, if it is not a big hit (NO in S709), the main control board 30 determines whether or not it is a small hit (S715). The winning game flag is turned ON (S716), the opening is started (S717), the opening command is set (S718), and the stop process is finished.

  [Big prize opening process] As shown in FIG. 11, in the big prize opening process, the main control board 30 first determines whether or not the winning game flag is ON (S901). If it is ON, it is determined whether or not opening is in progress (S902). The opening is a period from the start of the jackpot game to the start of the first round. If it is determined that the opening is in progress, the main control board 30 determines whether or not the opening time has elapsed (S903). A maximum R number (round number) and an operation pattern are set according to the type (S904). Then, the value C of the winning number counter is cleared to zero (S905), 1 is added to the value R of the round counter (S906), and the operation (opening) of the big winning opening 161 is started (S907).

  Next, the main control board 30 determines whether or not the operating time (opening time) of the special winning opening 161 has passed (S908), and if it has passed, the main winning prize opening 161 is closed (S910). If not, it is determined whether or not the value C of the winning number counter is a prescribed number (S909). If it is not the prescribed number, the big winning opening process is finished, and if it is the prescribed number, the big winning opening 161 is closed. (S910).

  Then, the main control board 30 determines whether or not the value R of the round counter is the maximum number of Rs (S911). If it is not the maximum number of Rs, the big prize opening process is finished. Is started (S912), an ending command is set (S913), and the value R of the round counter is cleared to zero (S914). Ending refers to the period from the end of the final round to the end of the jackpot game. Next, the main control board 30 determines whether or not the ending time has elapsed (S917). If it has not elapsed, the main winning a prize mouth process is finished, and if it has elapsed, a game state setting process to be described later is performed. (S918), the winning game flag is turned OFF.

  On the other hand, when the main control board 30 determines in step S902 that it is not opening, the main control board 30 determines whether or not the special winning opening 161 is ending (S915). If it is ending, the process proceeds to step S917. If it is not ending, it is determined whether or not the special winning opening is in operation (S916). If not in operation, the process proceeds to step S905, and if in operation, the process proceeds to step S908.

  [Game State Setting Process] As shown in FIG. 12, in the game state setting process, if the winning game that has just ended is a small hit (YES in S1001), the game state is not changed, so the game is not changed. If the state setting process is completed and 15R is a normal big hit (YES in S1002), the time-shortage game flag is turned on (S1003) and the time-variation counter value J is set to 100 (S1004). If the probability variation jackpot (15R probability variation jackpot or 2R latent probability jackpot) (YES in S1005), the probability variation game flag is turned on (S1006) to transition the gaming state to the probability variation gaming state, and if the probability variation jackpot is not, 2R Since it is a big hit, the latent game flag is turned on (S1007) and the value X of the high probability variation counter is set to 10000 (S1008) in order to change the gaming state to the latent gaming state.

  In parallel with the processing in the main control board 30 described above, the effect control board 33 performs processing as shown in FIGS. The operation of the effect control board 33 includes a main process shown in FIG. 13 and a sub timer interrupt process shown in FIG. In the main processing, the production control board 33 performs initial setting at the time of activation (S1101), sets a CTC (Counter / Timer Circuit) period (S1102), and uses the sub-control board 32 according to the set period. While updating the random number (S1103), the sub timer interrupt process is accepted.

  [Sub-side timer interrupt process] The effect control board 33 repeats the sub-side timer interrupt process as shown in FIG. 14 every predetermined short time. In the sub timer interruption process, a command reception process (S1201) and an effect button process (S1202), which will be described later, and a command transmission process (S1203) for transmitting commands set in these processes to the image control board 34 and the lamp control board 35. ) And do.

  [Command Receiving Process] As shown in FIG. 15, in the command receiving process, the effect control board 33 receives a hold number increase command (first hold number increase command or second hold number increase command) from the main control board 30. (S1301), and if it is received, a holding number addition process (S1302) described later is performed. Next, the effect control board 33 determines whether or not a change start command has been received, and if received, performs an effect selection process (S1303, S1304), and whether or not a change stop command has been received. If it has been received, the process during the end of the variation effect described later is performed (S1305, 1306). Then, the effect control board 33 determines whether or not an opening command has been received, and if received, performs a hit effect selection process (S1307, 1308) described later, and determines whether or not an ending command has been received. If it is determined and received, ending effect selection processing described later is performed (S1309, 1310). Further, the effect control board 33 performs a customer waiting command reception process (S1311) described later.

  [Holding number addition process] As shown in FIG. 16, in the holding number addition process, the production control board 33 receives the first hold number increase command and the second hold number increase command if the first hold number increase command is received. If so, the second hold number is added (S1901). Then, a hold display command for displaying the hold image I corresponding to the first hold number and the second hold number on the hold book display unit 112 or the hold redisplay unit 113 is set (S1902). The hold display command includes pre-read information included in the hold increase command. As will be described later, the image control board 34 that has received the hold display command displays the hold image I on the hold main display unit 112 if it is not within the hold non-display time, If it is within the redisplay time, the hold image I is displayed on the hold redisplay unit 113, and if it is within the hold non-display time and not within the hold re-display time, the hold image I is not displayed. That is, the hold non-display time is a time when the hold image I is not displayed on the hold main display unit 112 even if the hold number is 1 or more, and the hold redisplay time is hold if the hold number is 1 or more. This is the time for which the hold image I is displayed on the redisplay unit 113. Thus, even when the hold display command is received, the image control board 34 may not display the hold image I.

  [Production Selection Process] As shown in FIG. 17, in the production selection process, the production control board 33 analyzes the variation start command received from the main control board 30 (S1401). The variation start command includes information indicating the current gaming state, information indicating a symbol set in the jackpot determination process, and variation pattern information indicating a variation pattern. Next, the effect control board 33 stores the number of reservations stored in the RAM (the first number of reservations if the start of the decorative symbol variation for the winning to the first starting port 151, the decoration for the winning to the second starting port 152). If the start of symbol variation is the start, the number of second hold is subtracted by 1 (S1402), and based on the variation pattern information included in the variation start command, the decorative symbol variation pattern (hereinafter referred to as “variable effect pattern”). .) Is performed (S1403). The variation effect pattern includes information on the decorative symbols to be stopped and the operation patterns of the first movable accessory device 13 and the second movable accessory device 14. Then, the effect control board 33 determines whether or not the selected variation effect pattern includes the exposure operation of the movable body 131 (S1404). The concealed time (time zone) is set as the hold non-display time (S1405), and the effect button valid time according to the set hold non-display time is set (S1406). Note that the time during which at least a part of the reserved book display unit 112 is concealed is the time during which the reserved book display unit 112 is concealed. That is, when at least a part of the reserved book display unit 112 is hidden, the held image I is not displayed on the reserved book display unit 112. Further, the effect button valid time is a time within the hold non-display time. In this embodiment, the hold redisplay time is set to a predetermined length of time such as 2 seconds, for example, from the end of the effect button effective time to the end of the hold non-display time in which the effect button effective time is provided. The effect button effective time is set so that the time length of the button becomes equal to or longer than the length of the hold redisplay time. This is because the hold redisplay time that starts when the effect button 7 is pressed falls within the hold non-display time.

  Then, the effect control board 33 sets a change effect start command for starting decoration symbol change (S1407). The variation effect start command includes information indicating the variation effect pattern, information indicating the current number of holds, information indicating the hold non-display time, and information indicating the effect button effective time. For example, if the reserved book display unit 112 is concealed from 5 seconds to 10 seconds after the start of decoration symbol change, the information indicating the hold non-display time is 10 seconds from 5 seconds after the start of decoration symbol change. It becomes information indicating the later. Further, the information indicating the effect button effective time is, for example, information indicating from 5 seconds to 8 seconds after the start of the decoration symbol change. If the hold book display unit 112 is not concealed, the information indicating the hold non-display time and the information indicating the effect button valid time are information (for example, 0) indicating that there is no such time. In addition, the effect control board 33 transmits an accessory operation start command including information indicating the operation patterns of the first movable accessory apparatus 13 and the second movable accessory apparatus 14 to the lamp control board 35, and the lamp control board 35 When the character operation start command is received, the first movable character device 13 and the second movable character device 14 are operated in accordance with the operation pattern indicated by the character operation start command.

  [Processing during Variation Effect End] As shown in FIG. 18, in the processing during variation effect end, the effect control board 33 analyzes the change stop command (S1501) and performs the effect mode processing (S1502). The effect mode process is to change the current effect mode to the effect mode corresponding to the type of the hit if the stop symbol of the decorative symbol variation that is about to stop is a hit, and show the hit Otherwise, based on the number of decorative symbol changes in the current production mode, it is determined whether or not the production mode should be returned to the normal mode, and if it is decided to return, the current production mode is restored to the normal mode. Is. Then, the effect control board 33 sets a change effect end command for ending the decorative symbol change (S1503).

  [Winning Effect Selection Process] As shown in FIG. 19, in the winning effect selection process, an opening command is analyzed (S1601), and a winning effect pattern is selected (S1602). The hit effect refers to an effect executed during a small hit game or a big hit game. Then, the effect control board 33 sets a hit effect start command for starting the hit effect (S1603). The winning effect start command includes information indicating a winning effect pattern. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the reserved book display unit 112 is not hidden in the winning effect.

  [Ending Effect Selection Process] As shown in FIG. 20, in the ending effect selection process, an ending command is analyzed (S2001) and an ending effect pattern is selected (S2002). Then, the effect control board 33 sets an ending effect start command for starting the ending effect (S2003). The ending effect start command includes information indicating the ending effect pattern. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the reserved book display unit 112 is not hidden in the ending effect.

  [Customer Waiting Command Reception Processing] As shown in FIG. 21, in the customer waiting command reception processing, the effect control board 33 determines whether or not a customer waiting command has been received (S1701). The measurement of the time until the waiting effect is executed is started and the measurement flag is turned on (S1702, S1703), and the process proceeds to step S1705. On the other hand, if it is not received, it is determined whether or not the measurement flag is turned on (S1704). If it is not turned on, the process is finished because the time until execution of the waiting for the customer is not being measured. If so, it is determined whether or not the time is up, that is, whether or not the currently measured time has reached a predetermined time set as the time until execution of the customer waiting effect (S1705). If the time is not up, the process ends. If the time is up, the measurement flag is turned OFF (S1706), and a customer waiting effect start command for starting the customer waiting effect is set (S1707). Note that the hold image I is not displayed in the customer waiting effect.

  [Production Button Processing] As shown in FIG. 22, in the production button processing, the production control board 33 detects whether or not the production button 7 is pressed (turned on) based on a signal from the production button detection SW 71 ( If it is not detected that the switch is turned on, the process is terminated. If it is detected that the switch is turned on, it is determined whether or not the effect button valid time set in step S1406 is being reached (S1802). If it is not during the effect button effective time, the process is ended, and if it is during the effect button effective time, the hold redisplay time is set (S1803). In the present embodiment, as described above, the hold redisplay time is set to a fixed time such as 2 seconds. Then, a hold redisplay command including information indicating the hold redisplay time is set, and the process ends (S1804).

  [Hold Display Control Process] The hold display control process performed by the image control board 34 will be described below. The image control board 34 performs the hold display control process shown in FIG. 23 at a predetermined cycle. In addition to the hold display control process, the image control board 34 performs a process of stopping the decorative symbol change and ending the change effect when receiving the change effect end command, and when receiving the hit effect start command, When receiving the ending effect start command, the process of starting the winning effect is performed. When receiving the customer waiting effect start command, the process of starting the customer waiting effect is performed. A description of the processing is omitted.

  The image control board 34 determines whether or not a hold display command has been received (S3001), and if received, performs a hold display process (S3002). In the hold display process, the image control board 34 determines whether or not it is currently in the hold non-display time. If it is not in the hold non-display time, the hold image display unit 112 is incremented by one and displayed. To do. On the other hand, if it is during the hold non-display time, it is determined whether or not it is during the hold re-display time. If it is during the hold re-display time, the hold image I is incremented by one and displayed on the hold re-display unit 113, If it is not during the hold non-display time and during the hold re-display time, the hold image I is not displayed. The hold display command includes information indicating whether the hold image I to be increased relates to the first hold number or the second hold number, and the hold image I is based on the information. Is displayed on the hold book display unit 112, the first hold book display unit 112a or the second hold book display unit 112b, and when displayed on the hold book display unit 113, the first hold book display unit 113a or the second hold It is determined in which of the redisplay portions 113b to display. In the first reserved book display unit 112a and the second reserved book display unit 112b, the hold image I is displayed so as to increase from the bottom to the top, respectively, and the first hold redisplay unit 113a and the second hold book redisplay are displayed. In the unit 113b, the reserved images I are displayed so as to increase from left to right. Further, when the prefetch is determined to be a big hit based on the prefetch information, the color or shape of the reserved image I is different from the case where it is not judged to be a big hit. As shown in FIG. 24A, when the movable body 131 is in the storage position, it is not the holding non-display time, so the holding image I is displayed on the holding book display unit 112. In FIG. 24, the reserved image I indicated by a black circle is determined to be a big hit by prefetching. The image control board 34 stores the current number of reservations and prefetch information.

  Next, the image control board 34 determines whether or not a variation effect start command has been received (S3003), and if received, performs a variation effect start process (S3004). In the variation effect start process, if the hold image I is displayed on the hold book display unit 112 or the hold redisplay unit 113 according to the information indicating the number of holds included in the change effect start command, the hold image I is displayed. Decrease by one. Note that the information indicating the number of holds included in the variable effect start command also includes information indicating whether the number of holds is the first hold number or the second hold number. In the case of the hold number, the hold image I displayed on the first hold book display part 112a or the first hold redisplay part 113a, and in the case of the second hold number, the second hold book display part 112b or the second Of the hold images I displayed on the hold redisplay unit 113b, the one displayed first is deleted. Specifically, in the first reserved book display portion 112a and the second reserved book display portion 112b, the lowest reserved image I is erased, and the reserved images I existing thereon are moved down one by one. In the first hold redisplay unit 113a and the second hold redisplay unit 113b, the leftmost hold image I is erased, and the hold image I existing on the right is 1 The display moves to the left one by one. The image control board 34 stores the current number of reservations. Further, the image control board 34 sets the hold non-display time based on the information indicating the hold non-display time included in the variation effect start command.

  Next, the image control board 34 determines whether or not a hold redisplay command has been received (S3005), and if received, performs a hold redisplay process (S3006). In the hold redisplay process, the hold image I is displayed on the hold redisplay unit 113 based on the stored number of holds. Then, the hold redisplay time is set based on the information indicating the hold redisplay time included in the hold redisplay command.

  Then, the image control board 34 performs a hold display switching process (S3007). In the hold display switching process, it is determined whether or not it is currently in the hold non-display time. If it is not in the hold non-display time, the hold image I corresponding to the current hold number is displayed on the hold main display unit 112, It is not displayed on the redisplay unit 113. On the other hand, if it is during the hold non-display time, it is determined whether or not it is during the hold re-display time, and if it is during the hold re-display time, the hold image I corresponding to the current hold number is displayed on the hold re-display unit 113. If the hold non-display time is not in the hold re-display time, the hold image I is not displayed.

  By operating as described above, the hold image I displayed on the hold book display unit 112 as shown in FIG. 24A is exposed to the movable body 131 as shown in FIG. 24B. If it is hidden by this, it is not displayed. Then, if the player presses the effect button 7 during the effect button valid time set during the non-display time, the hold image I is displayed on the hold redisplay section 113 as shown in FIG. Is displayed. In other words, the effect button valid time is the time when the re-display of the hold image I is started if the player presses the effect button 7 during that time. Further, if there is a game ball that has newly entered the start winning device 15 while it is not displayed, as shown in FIG. 24D, the hold redisplay unit 113 with the hold image I increased. Will be displayed. On the contrary, if the special symbol change is performed while the display is not displayed, the reservation image I is displayed on the reservation redisplay unit 113 with the reservation image I decreased. As shown in FIG. 24B, display K (corresponding to a suggestion effect) suggesting that the effect button is effective may be performed during the effect button effective time.

  Referring to the time chart of FIG. 25 (a), while the movable body 131 is exposed, the hold image I is hidden on the hold book display unit 112, and the hold non-display time. A production button effective time is provided in the inside. In this embodiment, the start of the hold non-display time and the start of the effect button effective time are simultaneous, but the start of the effect button effective time may be delayed from the start of the hold non-display time. When the hold image I is displayed on the hold book display unit 112 and the movable body 131 is exposed, the hold image I is not displayed, and when the effect button 7 is pressed during the effect button effective time, a predetermined hold redisplay period It is displayed on the hold redisplay unit 113 continuously. In FIG. 25, the state displayed on the reserved book display unit 112 is expressed as “main display”, and the state displayed on the hold redisplay unit 113 is expressed as “redisplay”. That is, the gaming machine 1 continues to display the hold image I on the hold redisplay unit 113 until a predetermined period elapses after the pressing of the effect button 7 is detected. When the hold redisplay time elapses, the hold image I is not displayed (see reference A in FIG. 25A). However, if the length of time from the end of the effect button effective time to the end of the hold non-display time for which the effect button effective time is provided is the same as the length of the hold redisplay time When the effect button 7 is pressed just before the end of the effect button effective time, the end of the hold non-display time and the end of the hold re-display time become simultaneous, and the hold image I does not go through the non-display state. It may be displayed on the display unit 112 (see reference numeral B in FIG. 25A).

  As described above, the gaming machine 1 is an acquisition unit (main main unit) that acquires determination information when a start condition is satisfied (in this embodiment, a game ball enters the first start port 151 or the second start port 152). Control board 30), judgment means (main control board 30) for judging whether or not to play a special game advantageous to the player (big hit game) based on the judgment information obtained by the obtaining means, and judgment means Based on the determination result, game effect control means (effect control board 33 and lamp control board 35) for causing a predetermined effect means (first movable accessory device 13 and second movable accessory device 14) to perform a game effect; The determination information acquired by the acquisition unit is stored in the storage unit (first holding storage unit 301 and second holding storage unit 302) capable of storing up to a predetermined number, and the predetermined display unit (image display 11). ing Display control means (effect control board 33 and image control board 34) for displaying the reserved image I indicating the number of constant information so that the player can see it, and the player has performed a predetermined operation (depression of the effect button 7). Detection means (effect button detection SW 71 and effect control board 33) for detecting this, and the display control means when a predetermined game effect (exposure of the movable body 131) is performed by the game effect control means. A non-display control means for hiding the hold image I, and when the hold image I is not displayed by the non-display control means and a predetermined operation is detected by the detection means during a predetermined effective period. And a redisplay control means for redisplaying the hold image I, and the game effect control means can perform a suggestion effect (display K) that suggests that the predetermined operation is effective during the effective period. It is.

  Therefore, according to the gaming machine 1, since the held image I that has been hidden is redisplayed on the hold redisplay unit 113 when the player performs a predetermined operation, the player can easily grasp the number of holds. This is possible, and when the display of the hold image I is not necessary, the non-display state of the hold image I can be continued by not performing the operation, thereby reducing the possibility of the hold image I interfering with other displays. It is. Then, by performing a suggestion effect that suggests that the predetermined operation is effective, it becomes easy for the player to understand the timing of the operation.

  In the above embodiment, the hold redisplay time is set to a certain length of time. However, for example, as shown in FIG. It may be variable, for example, until the time ends.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 25 (b), the hold redisplay time for displaying the hold image I on the hold redisplay unit 113 may be set while the player continues to press the effect button 7. That is, the detection means (production control board 33) can detect that the player is continuously performing a specific operation (continuous pressing of the production button 7), and the re-display control means can detect the detection means. Thus, the hold image I may be continuously displayed again after the start of the specific operation is detected until the end of the specific operation is detected.

  Referring to FIG. 25 (b), in this embodiment, if the player presses the effect button 7 during the effect button valid time, the hold image continues from the start of pressing until the end of pressing the effect button 7. I is displayed on the hold redisplay unit 113 (see symbol C in FIG. 25B). In this way, the player can change the length of the hold redisplay time, and once recognizing the number of holds, the redisplay can be terminated immediately, and the hold image I interferes with other displays. It is also possible to reduce the fear, and conversely, it is possible to prevent the redisplay from ending even if the number of holds cannot be grasped. In the example of FIG. 25B, even if the hold non-display time ends, if the presentation button 7 continues to be pressed, the hold re-display time is continued until the press ends. During the hold redisplay time, the hold image I is displayed only on the hold redisplay unit 113, and when the hold redisplay time ends (that is, when the push of the effect button 7 ends), a new hold non-display time is set. If not, the hold image I is displayed on the hold book display section 112 (see reference sign D in FIG. 25 (b)), but the hold non-display time ends while the presentation button 7 is being pressed. In this case, the hold image I may be displayed on both the hold book display unit 112 and the hold redisplay unit 113. Further, as shown by reference numeral E in FIG. 26B, when the hold non-display time is ended, the hold re-display time is ended and the hold image I is displayed even if the effect button 7 is continuously pressed. It is good also as displaying only on the holding book display part 112. FIG. In order to reduce the possibility that the hold image I interferes with other displays, it is desirable to display the hold image I only on one of the hold book display unit 112 and the hold redisplay unit 113.

  Also, the effect button effective time is not necessarily provided during the hold non-display time, but only when the pre-read during the non-display of the hold image I is determined as a predetermined result such as a jackpot, for example. An effective time may be provided, or the effect button effective time may be provided by lottery.

  Further, when the hold book display unit 112 may be hidden by the movable body 131 in the winning effect or the ending effect, the effect control board 33 is used in the winning effect selection process or the ending effect selection process as in the effect selection process. The winning effect pattern and the ending effect pattern are analyzed, the hold non-display time and the effect button effective time are set, and a command including information indicating them is set.

  Further, the processing sharing between the effect control board 33 and the image control board 34 is arbitrary. For example, the hold non-display time and the effect button effective time may be set on the image control board 34 side. The processing sharing in the effect control board 33 and the lamp control board 35 can also be changed as appropriate.
