  FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram of the gaming machine of the present embodiment. The gaming machine of this embodiment is controlled by a control board including a main board 100 and a sub board 102. The functions of each board such as the main board 100 and the sub-board 102 include various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ASIC (gate array, etc.), ROM (an example of an information storage medium), or hardware such as RAM, This is realized by software including a given program stored in advance in a ROM or the like.

  The main board 100 receives the input signals from the input means such as the passing gate sensor 104, the first start winning port sensor 106, the second starting winning port sensor 108, the big winning port sensor 110, the payout sensor 116, and executes the game. Various operations are performed, and operation control of output means such as the state display driving device 120, the ordinary accessory driving device 122, the special accessory driving device 124, and the payout device 130 is performed based on the calculation result.

  In addition, the sub-board 102 receives the signal sent from the main board 100 and the input signal from the effect button switch 150, and performs various calculations for executing the effects in accordance with the progress of the game. Based on the above, operation control of the effect devices 176 such as the effect display device 170, the sound device 172, and the effect product driving device 174 is performed.

  The main board 100 includes a random number generation unit 210, a normal lottery unit 220, a normal display control unit 222, a normal accessory control unit 224, a special lottery unit 230, a special display control unit 240, a game state transition control unit 250, and a special game execution. A means 260, a payout control means 270, a communication control means 280, and a main memory 290 are included.

  The random number generation means 210 is a means for generating random numbers for lottery, and is realized by a random number generator for generating hardware random numbers or a program for generating software random numbers. For example, the software random number can be generated based on a count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to circulate a predetermined count range). In this embodiment, the “random number value” is not only a value that is randomly generated in a mathematical sense, but even if the generation itself is regular, the acquisition timing and the like are irregular. Includes a value that can function as a random number.

  The normal lottery means 220 acquires a random number for normal lottery from the random number generator 210 based on the detection signal input from the pass gate sensor 104 that detects the game balls passing through the pass gate 48 one by one. A normal lottery is performed to determine whether or not the normal lottery random value is stored in the normal random number storage unit 2912 of the main memory 290 and read from the normal random number storage unit 2912. In the normal lottery, the normal lottery means 220 performs a normal winning determination process, a normal variation determination process, and the like.

  The normal winning determination process is a process of determining whether or not the normal winning is won. In the normal winning determination process, the normal lottery means 220 first uses which of the normal lottery tables of the plurality of types of normal lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 of the main memory 290 to perform the random number determination process. Is determined according to the gaming state.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the normal lottery table A and the normal lottery table B are stored in the lottery table storage means 2910. In each normal lottery table, for each of 100 random numbers from 0 to 99, Normal hits or loses are associated. Specifically, in the normal lottery table A, the correspondence between the normal win or the loss and a plurality of random numbers is set so that the normal win is won with a probability of about 1/20. In the normal lottery table B, about 19 / Correspondence between normal winning or losing and random values of 0 to 99 is set so that the normal winning is won with a probability of 20. The normal lottery means 220 selects the normal lottery table A when the gaming state is neither the probability change state nor the short time state, and selects the normal lottery table B when the game state is the probability change state or the short time state. .

  Then, the normal lottery means 220 refers to the selected normal lottery table, and whether or not the random number value that matches the random number value for one normal lottery read from the normal random number storage means 2912 is associated with the normal lot. It is determined whether or not the normal winning is won.

  The normal lottery means 220 sets the normal winning flag in the flag storage means 2916 of the main memory 290 when the normal win is won, and sets the normal win flag to the ON state. Set the flag to the OFF state.

  The normal variation determination process is a process for determining which of the plurality of variation types the variation type of the normal symbol according to the gaming state. In the normal variation determination process, the normal lottery means 220 determines that the variation type of the normal symbol is normal variation 1 when the gaming state is neither the probability variation state nor the time reduction state, and the game state is the probability variation state or the time reduction state. The normal symbol variation type is determined as normal variation 2.

  Also, the normal lottery means 220 stores the normal random number storage immediately after the normal lottery execution trigger has arrived when the normal lottery random number value is stored in the normal random number storage means 2912 and the normal symbol is not variably displayed. The normal lottery random value for one time is read from the means 2912 and the normal lottery is performed. However, if the normal symbol is being displayed in a variable manner, the random number for the normal lottery is held. When the normal lottery random value is held, when the normal symbol change display is finished, the normal lottery means 220 immediately reads out from the normal random number storage means 2912 as the normal lottery execution trigger comes. A normal lottery is performed for the random numbers for the normal lottery.

  Here, when a pass signal is further input from the pass gate sensor 104 in a state where the random number for normal lottery is held, the normal lottery means 220 generates a random number generation means based on the input of the pass signal. The random number value for ordinary lottery is acquired from 210, and the random number value for ordinary lottery is stored in the ordinary random number storage means 2912 up to four random numbers for ordinary lottery. When the trigger for executing the normal lottery comes, the normal lottery is performed for the random number value for one lot of normal lottery read out from the normal random number storage unit 2912 in the FIFO (First In First Out) format. In the state where the random numbers for normal lottery for four times are stored in the normal random number storage means 2912, the normal lottery means 220 does the normal lottery in the normal random number storage means 2912 even if a pass signal is input from the pass gate sensor 104. Does not store the random number value.

  The normal display control means 222 is a means for controlling the state display driving device 120 based on the lottery result of the normal lottery, and performs normal symbol display control processing and normal hold display control processing.

  In the normal symbol display control process, the normal symbol display control means 222 blinks the two lamps of the normal symbol display unit 72 for a variation time corresponding to the variation type of the normal symbol determined in the normal variation determination process. The normal symbol is stopped and displayed by turning on or off the two lamps of the normal symbol display unit 72 according to whether or not the normal winning flag is turned on in the normal hit determination process. The normal symbol display section 72 displays the result of the normal lottery.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, when the variation type is normal variation 1, the variation time of the normal symbol is set to 20 seconds, and when variation type is normal variation 2, it is normal. The symbol variation time is set to 1 second. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the game state at the time when the normal lottery is performed is neither the probability variation state nor the short-time state, the variation type of the normal symbol is determined to be the normal variation 1, whereby the variation time of the normal symbol is 20 When the game state at the time when the normal lottery is set is the probability variation state or the short time state, the variation type of the normal symbol is determined to be the normal variation 2 and the variation time of the normal symbol is 1 second. Therefore, when the gaming state is a certain change state or a short time state, the execution chance of the normal lottery comes more frequently.

  In the normal hold display control process, the normal display control means 222 turns on, turns off, or blinks the two lamps of the normal hold display section 74 according to the number of random numbers for normal lottery stored in the normal random number storage means 2912. Depending on the combination of these, 0 to 4 reserved numbers are displayed.

  The ordinary accessory control means 224 is a means for controlling the ordinary accessory driving device 122 based on the lottery result of the ordinary lottery, and performs the ordinary accessory control processing 1, the ordinary accessory control processing 2, and the like.

  In the normal accessory control process 1, when the gaming state is a certain change state or a short time state, the normal accessory is displayed until 20 seconds elapses when the normal symbol is stopped and displayed in a mode indicating winning of the normal winning. The drive control of the ordinary accessory driving device 122 is performed so that 52 is in an enlarged state.

  In the normal accessory control process 2, when the gaming state is neither the probability change state nor the short-time state, it is normal until 0.1 seconds elapses when the normal symbol is stopped and displayed in a mode indicating a normal winning. The drive control of the normal accessory driving device 122 is performed so that the accessory 52 is in an enlarged state.

  Accordingly, in the normal accessory control process 1, the normal accessory 52 operates so as to increase the ease of winning the game ball to the second start winning opening 50, but in the normal accessory control process 2, the second start winning prize is operated. The normal accessory 52 operates so that the ease of winning a game ball to the mouth 50 hardly increases.

  The special lottery means 230 is for special lottery from the random number generating means 210 based on the detection signal input from the first start prize port sensor 106 that detects the game balls entering the first start prize port 46 one by one. A random number value is acquired and stored in the special random number storage unit 2914 of the main memory 290 as the first special random number value. The special lottery means 230 also receives a special lottery from the random number generating means 210 based on the detection signal input from the second start prize port sensor 108 that detects the game balls entering the second start prize slot 50 one by one. A random number value is acquired and stored in the special random number storage unit 2914 as the second special random number value. Then, the special lottery means 230 performs a special lottery that determines whether or not the jackpot is won using the first special random number value or the second special random number value read from the special random number storage means 2914. In the special lottery, the special lottery means 230 performs jackpot determination processing, symbol determination processing, special variation determination processing, and the like.

  The jackpot determination process is a process for determining whether or not the jackpot is won. In the jackpot determination process, the special lottery means 230 first determines which of the plurality of types of the lottery table stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 of the main memory 290 is to be used for the random number determination process. Determined according to the gaming state.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, a lottery table storage unit 2910 stores a big hit lottery table A and a big hit lottery table B as shown in FIG. In each jackpot lottery table, a jackpot or loss is associated with each of 65536 random numbers from 0 to 65535. Specifically, in the jackpot lottery table A, a correspondence relationship between the jackpot or losing and a random value of 0 to 65535 is set so that the jackpot is won with a probability of about 1/399. Correspondence between the jackpot or loss and the random value of 0 to 65535 is set so that the jackpot is won with a probability of 39. The special lottery means 230 selects the jackpot lottery table A when the gaming state is the normal state or the short-time state, and selects the jackpot lottery table B when the gaming state is the probability change state.

  The special lottery means 230 refers to the selected lottery table, and the random number value corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value read from the special random number storage means 2914 corresponds to the jackpot. It is determined whether or not the jackpot is won by determining whether or not it is attached.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 sets the jackpot winning flag in the flag storage means 2916 to the ON state when the jackpot is won, and sets the jackpot winning flag to the OFF state when it is lost. .

  The symbol determination process is a process for determining which of the 16 round symbols, the 4 round symbols A, and the 4 round symbols B has been won when the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination processing. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the symbol lottery table A and the symbol lottery table B as shown in FIG. 6 are stored in the lottery table storage unit 2910. In the symbol determination process, the special lottery unit 230 stores special random numbers. When the first special random number value is read from the means 2914, random number determination processing is performed using the symbol lottery table A. When the second special random number value is read from the special random number storage means 2914, the symbol lottery table B A random number determination process is performed using.

  In each symbol lottery table, 16 round symbols, four round symbols A, or four round symbols B are associated with 100 random numbers from 0 to 99, respectively. Specifically, in both the symbol lottery table A and the symbol lottery table B, 16 round symbols are elected with a probability of about 40/100, and 4 round symbols A are elected with a probability of about 40/100, and about 20/100 Correspondence between 16 round symbols, 4 round symbols A, 4 round symbols B and random numbers from 0 to 99 is set so that 4 round symbols B are won with the probability of.

  The special lottery means 230 refers to the selected symbol lottery table, and the first special random number value or the second special random number value read from the special random number storage means 2914 is associated with any one of a plurality of types of jackpot symbols. It is determined which of a plurality of types of jackpot symbols has been won.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 sets the winning flag corresponding to the winning jackpot symbol in the flag storage means 2916 to the ON state.

  In the special variation determination process, the variation type of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol displayed on the second special symbol display unit 80 is determined depending on whether or not the jackpot is won. This is processing for determining which of a plurality of variation types. In the special variation determination process, the special lottery means 230 first uses which of the plurality of types of variable lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 of the main memory 290 to perform the random number determination process. Depending on whether the jackpot is won or not.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the lottery table storage unit 2910 stores a variable lottery table A and a variable lottery table B as shown in FIG. In each variation lottery table, each of a plurality of random values (for example, 100 random values from 0 to 99) corresponds to one variation type of super reach 1, super reach 2, normal reach, or no reach. It is attached. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, in the super reach 1 and the super reach 2, the variable lottery table A has a higher selection probability than the variable lottery table B, but the normal reach is in the variable lottery table B. However, the selection probability is higher than that of the variable lottery table A. In the variable lottery table A, the selection probability is high in the order of super reach 1> super reach 2> normal reach. In the variable lottery table B, the selection probability is high in the order of normal reach> super reach 2> super reach 1. It has become. In addition, “no reach” is not a lottery object in the variable lottery table A.

  The special lottery means 230 selects the variable lottery table A when the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process, and selects the variable lottery table B when the jackpot determination process is lost. Then, the special lottery means 230 refers to the selected fluctuation lottery table, and the random number value corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value read from the special random number storage means 2914 has a plurality of fluctuations. By determining which of the types is associated, it is determined which of the plurality of variation types has been won, and the variation type of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is determined as the variation type that has been won. That is, when the random number value for one special lottery read from the special random number storage unit 2914 is the first special random number value, the variation type of the first special symbol is determined as the selected variation type, and the special random number storage unit When the random number value for special lottery read from 2914 is the second special random number value, the variation type of the second special symbol is determined as the selected variation type.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when super reach 1 is determined, the jackpot is most often won, and when super reach 2 is determined, the jackpot is winning. When the normal reach is determined, the jackpot is most often won, so the expectation for winning the jackpot is different for each of the plurality of variable types with reach.

  Also, the special lottery means 230, when the first special random number value or the second special random number value is stored in the special random number storage means 2914, the first special symbol or the second special symbol is not variably displayed, and the gaming state Is not in the special gaming state, the special lottery is performed by immediately reading the first special random number value or the second special random number value from the special random number storage means 2914 as the special lottery execution timing has come. When the special symbol or the second special symbol is variably displayed, or the gaming state is the special gaming state, the first special random number value or the second special random number value is held.

  When a winning signal is further input from the first starting winning port sensor 106 or the second starting winning port sensor 108 in a state where the first special random number value or the second special random number value is held, special lottery means 230 obtains a random number for special lottery from the random number generator 210 based on the winning signal input from the first start winning port sensor 106 or the second start winning port sensor 108, and acquires the obtained special lottery random number. The numerical value is stored in the special random number storage unit 2914 as the first special random value or the second special random value.

  In the state where the first special random number value for four times is stored in the special random number storage unit 2914, the special lottery unit 230 stores the special random number storage unit 2914 in the special random number storage unit 2914 even if a winning signal is input from the first start winning port sensor 106. The first random value is not stored. In the state where the second special random number value for four times is stored in the special random number storage unit 2914, even if a winning signal is input from the second start winning port sensor 108, the special lottery unit 230 stores in the special random number storage unit 2914. The second special random number value is not stored.

  Then, when the first special random number value or the second special random number value is held, the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is terminated on the condition that the gaming state is not the special gaming state, The special lottery means 230 reads the first special random number value or the second special random number value for one time from the special random number storage means 2914 in the FIFO format, and specially reads the first special random number value or the second special random number value for the read one time. Make a lottery. That is, in the present embodiment, a special lottery is performed for the first special random value or the second special random value in accordance with the order in which the first special random value or the second special random value is stored in the special random number storage unit 2914.

  The special display control means 240 is a means for controlling the state display drive device 120 based on the lottery result of the special lottery, and includes a first special symbol display control process, a second special symbol display control process, and a first special hold display control. Processing and second special hold display control processing are performed.

  The first special symbol display control process is a process performed when the first special random number value is read from the special random number storage unit 2914 and a special lottery is performed. The special display control unit 240 is a special variation determination process. The first special symbol is variably displayed by blinking the 7-segment display of the first special symbol display unit 76 for the variation time corresponding to the variation type of the first special symbol determined in (1). In this embodiment, the display mode of the 7-segment display is determined in advance corresponding to each of the three types of jackpot symbols and loses, and the special display control means 240 is in a state where the jackpot winning flag is ON in the jackpot determination process. Depending on whether or not the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process, and depending on the jackpot symbol in which the winning flag is set to ON in the symbol determination process, the 7-segment display has a plurality of display modes. The first special symbol is stopped and displayed by displaying in any one of the display modes, and the result of the special lottery is displayed on the first special symbol display unit 76.

  The second special symbol display control process is a process performed when the second special random number value is read from the special random number storage unit 2914 and a special lottery is performed. The special display control unit 240 is a special variation determination process. After the second special symbol is variably displayed by blinking the 7-segment display of the second special symbol display unit 80 for the variation time according to the variation type of the second special symbol determined in step 2, the jackpot is determined in the jackpot determination process. Depending on whether or not the winning flag is turned ON, and if the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process, the 7-segment display is set according to the jackpot symbol in which the winning flag is set ON in the symbol determination process. The second special symbol is stopped and displayed by displaying in any one of a plurality of types of display modes, and the second special symbol table To display the results of a special lottery to part 80.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, when the variation type is super reach 1, the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is set to 90 seconds, and the variation type is super reach. If it is 2, the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is set to 60 seconds. If the variation type is normal reach, the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is 30 seconds. Is set.

  When the variation type is determined to be no reach, the special display control means 240, in the first special symbol display control process, holds the number of special lotteries or the game state at the time of starting the variable display of the first special symbol. In the second special symbol display control process, the number of special lotteries held or the game state at the time of starting the variable display of the second special symbol, depending on whether or not is in a short-time state or a probable change state, Depending on whether or not, one of no reach 1 to no reach 4 is selected. Specifically, the special display control means 240 selects no reach 1 if the number of reserved items is 0 to 2, selects no reach 2 if the number of reserved items is 3, and if the number of reserved items is four. No reach 3 is selected, and if the game state is a short-time state or a probable change state, no reach 4 is selected regardless of the number of holds.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, when the variation type is no reach 1, the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is set to 10 seconds, and the variation type is 2 without reach. In some cases, the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is set to 5 seconds, and when the variation type is 3 without reach, the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is set to 3 seconds. When the variation type is 4 without reach, the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is set to 0.5 seconds.

  Accordingly, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is not the short-time state or the probable change state, the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol becomes shorter as the number of reserved pieces increases, so the first special lottery or the second special lottery When the game is in a short-time state or a probable change state, the first special symbol or the second special symbol will have a particularly short variation time, so the first special lottery Or the execution opportunity of a 2nd special lottery comes more frequently.

  In the first special hold display control process, the special display control means 240 turns on the two lamps of the first special hold display section 78 in accordance with the number of first special random number values stored in the special random number storage means 2914. Alternatively, 0 to 4 reserved numbers are displayed by a combination of turning off or blinking.

  In the second special hold display control process, the special display control unit 240 turns on the two lamps of the second special hold display unit 82 according to the number of second special random number values stored in the special random number storage unit 2914. Alternatively, 0 to 4 reserved numbers are displayed by a combination of turning off or blinking.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the gaming state transition control means 250 performs a gaming state transition control process for transitioning the gaming state between a normal state, a special gaming state, a probability variation state, and a short time state based on the establishment of a predetermined transition condition. I do. As the game condition transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

  The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and a transition from the normal state to the special game state is possible. In the normal state, the normal lottery is performed with reference to the normal lottery table A in which the winning probability per ordinary is set to about 1/20, and the jackpot lottery table A in which the winning probability for the big win is set to 1/399. A special lottery is performed with reference to the drawing.

  In the normal state, the winning probability per normal in the normal lottery is as low as about 1/20, and the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is as long as 20 seconds, and the period in which the normal actor 52 is in the expanded state is 0.1 second. Since it is shorter, it is difficult for the game ball to enter the second start winning opening 50.

  The special game state is started based on the fact that the big win is won in the special lottery in the normal state, the probability variation state or the short-time state, and a special game with a predetermined number of rounds (number of executions) is executed according to the type of the big win symbol It ends when it is done.

  Specifically, when the special game state is started based on the fact that the winning flag of the 16 round symbol is set to the ON state in the special lottery, the special game of 16 rounds from the first round to the 16th round is executed. The special gaming state ends on the condition.

  In addition, when the special game state is started based on the fact that the winning flag of the 4-round symbol A is set to the ON state in the special lottery, the special game of 4 rounds from the first round to the fourth round is executed. The special gaming state ends on the condition.

  In addition, when the special game state is started based on the fact that the winning flag of the 4-round symbol B is set to the ON state in the special lottery, the special game of the 4th round from the first round to the fourth round is executed. The special gaming state ends on the condition.

  The probability change state starts when the special game state started based on the fact that the winning flag of the 16-round symbol or the 4-round symbol A (probability variable symbol) is set to the ON state ends. Transition to special game state or normal state is possible. In the probability variation state, the normal lottery is performed with reference to the normal lottery table B in which the winning probability per ordinary is set to about 19/20, and the jackpot lottery table B in which the winning probability per jackpot is set to 1/39. The player is more advantageous than the normal state in that a special lottery is performed with reference. Then, the probability variation state ends on the condition that the number of times that the special lottery has been performed in the probability variation state reaches 9999 times, and shifts to the normal state.

  Specifically, when the special gaming state ends, the gaming state transition control means 250 writes a value (for example, 9999) corresponding to a predetermined number of games (for example, 9999) to the probability variation end determination counter 2930 of the main memory 290 to change the probability. Every time a special lottery is performed in the state, a decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of times of one game from the stored value of the probability variation end determination counter 2930. When the stored value of the probability variation end determination counter 2930 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the probability variation state is terminated and the normal state is started. However, in the probability variation state, the win probability in the special lottery is set to 1/39. Therefore, the special game state is started before the number of special lotteries performed in the probability variation state reaches 9999 times. There is almost no transition to the state.

  In the probability variation state, the winning probability per ordinary in the normal lottery is as high as about 19/20, and the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is as short as 1 second, and the period during which the normal character 52 is in the expanded state is as long as 20 seconds. Therefore, it is advantageous to the player in that the game ball can easily enter the second start winning opening 50 than in the normal state.

  Also, in the probability variation state, a shorter variation time is often set as the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol regardless of the number of holds, so that the special lottery trigger is more frequent than in the normal state. It is supposed to be.

  The short-time state is started when the special game state started based on the fact that the winning flag of the 4-round symbol B (normal symbol) is set to the ON state, and from the short-time state, the special game state or Transition to the normal state is possible. In the short-time state, the normal lottery is performed with reference to the normal lottery table B in which the normal win probability is set to about 19/20, as in the probability variation state, but the jackpot win probability is about the same as in the normal state. It is more disadvantageous to the player than the probability variation state in that a special lottery is performed with reference to the jackpot lottery table A set to 1/399. Then, the time-saving state ends on the condition that the number of times that the special lottery has been performed in the time-saving state has reached 100 times, and shifts to the normal state.

  Specifically, the game state transition control means 250 takes a value corresponding to a predetermined number of games (for example, 100 times) in the time-short-term end determination counter 2932 of the main memory 290 when the game state is shifted to the time-short state. For example, every time a special lottery is performed in the short time state, the decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games for one time from the stored value of the short time end determination counter 2932. Then, when the stored value of the short time end determination counter 2932 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the short time state is ended.

  In the short-time state, as in the case of the probability variation state, the normal winning chance in the normal lottery is as high as about 19/20, and the normal symbol variation time is as short as 1 second, so that the normal character 52 is in the expanded state. Is longer than 20 seconds, which is advantageous to the player in that it makes it easier for the game ball to enter the second start winning opening 50 than in the normal state.

  In the short-time state, as in the case of the probability variation state, a shorter variation time is often set as the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol regardless of the number of holdings. The execution opportunity comes to come frequently.

  The special game execution means 260 is a means for executing a special game based on the lottery result of the special lottery, and performs special game execution processing 1 to special game execution processing 3 and the like.

  The special game execution process 1 is executed based on the winning of 16 round symbols in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 is the number of rounds predetermined for the 16 round symbols as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933. A value corresponding to the number of times (for example, 16) is set, and each time the special feature 56 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in each round, the stored value of the round counter 2933 corresponds to the number of rounds for one time. Incremental update is performed by adding a value (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 16), the special gaming state is ended.

  Specifically, in the special game execution process 1, in the special game of each round from the first round to the sixteenth round, the special timer 56 counts 29 seconds after the special character 56 is opened, When the sensor 110 detects the entry of one game ball, the value of the big prize counter 2936 to which a value corresponding to one game ball (for example, 1) is added reaches an upper limit value (for example, 10). The drive control of the special accessory driving device 124 is performed so that the special accessory 56 is closed. Then, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933 on the assumption that the condition for ending one round is satisfied.

  The special game execution process 2 is executed based on the fact that the 4-round symbol A has been won in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 has a round number predetermined for the 4-round symbol A as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933. A value corresponding to a certain 4 times (for example, 4) is set, and each time the special feature 56 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in each round, the value stored in the round counter 2933 is set to the number of rounds for one round. Incremental updating is performed by adding a corresponding value (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 4), the special gaming state is ended.

  Specifically, in the special game execution process 2, in the special game of each round from the first round to the fourth round, the release timer 2934 counts 29 seconds after the special character 56 is in the open state, or the number of big prizes When the value of the counter 2936 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 10), the special accessory driving device 124 is controlled so that the special accessory 56 is closed. Then, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933 on the assumption that the condition for ending one round is satisfied.

  The special game execution processing 3 is executed based on the fact that the 4-round symbol B has been won in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 has a predetermined number of rounds for the 4-round symbol B as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933. A value corresponding to a certain 4 times (for example, 4) is set, and each time the special feature 56 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in each round, the value stored in the round counter 2933 is set to the number of rounds for one round. Incremental updating is performed by adding a corresponding value (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 4), the special gaming state is ended.

  Specifically, in the special game execution process 3, in the special game of each round from the first round to the fourth round, the release timer 2934 counts 29 seconds after the special character 56 is in the open state, or the number of big prizes When the value of the counter 2936 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 10), the special accessory driving device 124 is controlled so that the special accessory 56 is closed. Then, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933 on the assumption that the condition for ending one round is satisfied.

  The payout control means 270 receives a winning signal based on the input of the winning signal from the first starting winning port sensor 106, the winning signal from the second starting winning port sensor 108, and the winning signal from the big winning port sensor 110. Control is performed to cause the payout device 130 to pay out a number of game balls corresponding to a predetermined number of prize balls. Specifically, the payout control means 270 transmits an instruction command that causes the payout device 130 to pay out three game balls each time the first start winning opening sensor 106 detects a winning of one game ball. 2 Each time the start winning opening sensor 108 detects a winning of one game ball, an instruction command for paying out three gaming balls to the payout device 130 is transmitted, and the big winning opening sensor 110 receives one gaming ball. Each time a winning is detected, an instruction command for paying out 15 game balls to the payout device 130 is transmitted.

  The payout device 130 performs an operation of paying out the number of game balls instructed by the payout control means 270. The payout device 130 is provided with a payout motor in a game ball tank in which game balls are stored, and the payout control means 270 controls the rotation angle of the payout motor so as to receive the number of game balls as instructed. Pay out from the game ball tank. The payout device 130 is provided with a payout sensor 116 that operates each time one game ball is paid out. The payout control means 270 actually pays out from the payout device 130 based on a payout signal from the payout sensor 116. The number of played game balls can be managed.

  The communication control unit 280 performs control for transmitting a signal to the sub-board 102. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, only unidirectional communication from the main board 100 to the sub board 102 is possible between the main board 100 and the sub board 102, and from the sub board 102 to the main board 100. Communication connection is established so that signals cannot be transmitted.

  First, when a detection signal is input from the first start prize port sensor 106 or the second start prize port sensor 108, the communication control means 280 transmits a detection notification signal to the sub-board 102 to thereby obtain a first start prize. Communication control is performed to notify the sub-board 102 that a game ball has entered the port 46 or the second start winning port 50.

  In addition, when the special lottery is performed, the communication control unit 280 transmits the special lottery result notification signal to the sub board 102 to perform communication control for notifying the sub board 102 of the result of the special lottery. Here, the results of the special lottery include the results of the jackpot determination process, the symbol determination process, and the special variation determination process.

  Further, when the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is started, the communication control means 280 transmits a variation start notification signal to the sub-board 102, so that the first special symbol or the second special symbol is transmitted. The communication control is performed to notify the sub-board 102 that the change display is started.

  In addition, when the first special random number value or the second special random number value is held in the special random number storage unit 2914, the communication control unit 280 transmits a hold notification signal to the sub-board 102 to thereby obtain the first special random number value. Alternatively, communication control is performed to notify the sub-board 102 that the second special random number value has been suspended.

  The communication control unit 280 performs communication control for notifying the sub board 102 of the current gaming state by transmitting a main state notification signal to the sub board 102. Note that the main state notification signal may be transmitted to the sub-board 102 for each game, or may be transmitted to the sub-board 102 every time the game state changes. A state notification signal may be transmitted to the sub-board 102.

  Further, the communication control means 280 transmits a counter notification signal to the sub-board 102 to store the stored value of the probability variation end determination counter 2930, the stored value of the short time end determination counter 2932, the stored value of the round counter 2933, and the big prize counter 2934. Communication control for notifying the sub-board 102 of the stored value.

  Next, the sub substrate 102 will be described. The sub board 102 includes an effect control means 300 and a sub memory 310.
