Description

  It relates to pachinko machines.

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

Here, since this mechanism is common to this type of pachinko machine, in order to differentiate it from other types, how to devise the overall production including the variation aspect of the above-mentioned design and to have high interest It is focused on whether to grant. For example, a gaming machine that is configured to execute an effect during a display period by displaying a fixed symbol for a long time at the end of a predetermined number of symbol fluctuations calculated after the end of the jackpot has been proposed. .

First, the “easy winning state (open state)” refers to a state in which a game ball can flow in or a state in which it is easier to flow in compared to a non-winning state, and “unwinning state (closed state)” It refers to a state in which a game ball cannot flow in as compared to a state in which a game ball cannot flow in or a state in which a winning is easy. Here, for example, in the configuration of a general big prize opening (so-called attacker), the open state = easy-to-win state and the closed state = non-easy-to-win state. Also, for example, a state protruding from the game board (player side) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as advance state) and a state of being retracted into the game board (side opposite to the player side) (hereinafter referred to as retreat state) In a configuration (so-called velo-type attacker) that can take the following conditions, the advance state is an easy-to-win state (open state), and the retracted state is an easy-to-win state (closed state). “Pitching” includes not only winning a prize ball to be paid out, but also passing to a “through chucker” without winning a prize ball. “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko game machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a random number in a narrow sense (for example, a hard- Random numbers and soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, the so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers (random numbers for success / failure lottery)” related to the transition of special games, and the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol "Variation mode determination random number" for determining, "symbol determination random number" for determining a stop symbol, "hit symbol determination random number" for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, etc. be able to. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. In addition, in the claims and in the present specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of a random number or a plurality of random numbers. Random numbers acquired by a single entry into the ball are referred to as one (ie, in the above example, a random number bundle of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + design determining random number ... Called random numbers). Further, for example, a kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). The “identification information” may be in any form as long as the type of information can be identified through the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.), but is preferably visual, for example, numbers, letters, designs. And light emission of a light emitting means (for example, a lamp) (including not only the presence / absence of light emission but also a difference in color).

Next, in step 1316, the second main game random number acquisition determination execution unit 1122 sets (holds) the acquired second main game random number in the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage unit 1132a. Next, in step 1317, the information transmission means 1300 transmits the information related to the acquired second main game random number to the display control means 2320 side as the hold information, and performs the next process (the determination of the driving of the electric accessory in step 1200). Process). In the case of No in step 1302 and step 1304, the process proceeds to step 1310, and in the case of No in step 1310 and step 1312, the process proceeds to the next process (electrical accessory drive determination process in step 1200).

  Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the electric accessory drive determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1202, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1192 to determine whether or not the electric accessory opening flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the auxiliary game symbol control means 1154 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1192 to determine whether or not the auxiliary game symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the auxiliary game content determination unit 1143 refers to the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage unit 1133a and determines whether or not there is a hold ball related to the auxiliary game symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1208, the electric accessory release availability determination means 1135c refers to the auxiliary game side game state temporary storage means 1192b and refers to the auxiliary game side game state information (particularly, the auxiliary game short time flag state). Based on the auxiliary game side random number to be digested this time, it is determined whether or not to win by referring to the electric player opening lottery lottery table 1135d (for example, if the auxiliary game short time flag = ON, winning in 255/256 Then, if the auxiliary game short flag is OFF, winning is made at 1/256). Subsequently, the auxiliary game content determination means 1143 refers to the auxiliary game stop symbol determination reference table 1143a-1 based on the result of the determination. The stop symbol is determined (for example, “7” is the stop symbol if it is a win, “-” is a stop symbol if it is not win), and the stop symbol is compensated. Temporarily stored in the game design related information temporary storage means 1192A. Next, in step 1210, the auxiliary game content determination unit 1143 obtains the auxiliary game side game state information (particularly, the auxiliary game short time flag state) with reference to the auxiliary game side game state temporary storage unit 1192b, and then assists. Referring to the game variation mode determination reference table 1143a-2, the variation time of the auxiliary game symbol is determined (for example, “1 second” if the auxiliary game short flag is on, “if the auxiliary game short flag is off,“ 30 seconds "), and the change time is set in the auxiliary game symbol change management timer 1154a-1. In step 1212, the auxiliary game symbol control means 1154 turns on the auxiliary game symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1192. Next, in step 1214, the auxiliary game symbol holding means 1133 updates the hold information recorded in the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1133a after subtracting 1 from the hold ball related to the auxiliary game symbol, and also assists. The game symbol control means 1154 starts the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer 1154a-1, and then starts the variation display of the auxiliary game symbol on the auxiliary game symbol display unit 2421. Next, in step 1216, the auxiliary game symbol variation time management means 1154a refers to the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer 1154a-1, and determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1216, in step 1218, the auxiliary game symbol control means 1154 confirms and displays the stop symbol temporarily stored in the auxiliary game symbol related information temporary storage means 1192a on the auxiliary game symbol display unit 2421. In step 1220, the auxiliary game symbol control means 1154 turns off the auxiliary game symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1192. Next, in step 1222, the condition determination means 1161 determines whether or not the stop symbol is “winning”. In the case of Yes in step 1222, in step 1224, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the auxiliary game side game state temporary storage means 1192b and stores the auxiliary game side game state information (particularly, the auxiliary game short time flag state). In addition, based on the gaming state, the open time of the second main game start opening electric accessory 2112 is determined by referring to the electric accessory release time determination reference table 1163 (for example, the auxiliary game short time flag = on If so, “5 seconds” is set, and if the auxiliary game time short flag is off, “0.2 seconds” is set). Next, in step 1226, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 turns on the electric accessory releasing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1192. In step 1228, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 opens the second main game start opening electric accessory 2112 of the second main game start opening 2110 and starts the electric accessory release period management timer 1162. .

  Next, in step 1230, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the electric accessory opening period management timer 1162 and determines whether or not the end timing of the opening time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1230, in step 1232, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 closes the second main game start opening electric accessory 2112 of the second main game start opening 2110. Next, in step 1234, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 turns off the electric accessory releasing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1192, and performs the next process (the normal game control process of step 14). ).

  If No in Step 1202, the process proceeds to Step 1230. If No in Step 1204, the process proceeds to Step 1216. If No in Step 1206, Step 1216, Step 1222, and Step 1230, the next process (Step 14) is performed. Normal game control process).

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the normal game control process according to the subroutine of step 14 in FIG. First, in step 142, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determining means 1138 refers to the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1131a and the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a, and the first main game symbol or the first It is determined whether or not the hold information relating to the two main game symbols exists. In the case of Yes in step 142, in step 144, the symbol variation start condition satisfaction determination means 1138 refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a, and there is no hold information related to the second main game symbol. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 144, in step 1400 (1), the game control means 1100 executes a first main game symbol display process to be described later, and proceeds to the next step (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). . On the other hand, in the case of No in step 144, in step 1400 (2), the game control means 1100 executes a second main game symbol display process to be described later, and proceeds to the next step (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). Transition. In the case of No in step 142, the process proceeds to the next step (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500).

  In the present embodiment, such a process is configured to preferentially execute (so-called preferential digestion) the symbol variation on one main game side (in this example, the second main game side) However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be configured so that the symbol variation is sequentially started (so-called in-game order digestion) in accordance with the order of entering the first main game start port 2210 or the second main game start port 2110.

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the first main game symbol display process and the second main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of steps 1400 (1) and (2) in FIG. Since this process is substantially the same on the first main game symbol side and the second main game symbol side, unless otherwise specified, the first main game symbol side is mainly described, and the second main game symbol side is described. The symbol side is described in parentheses (that is, the processing that is originally separate on the first main game symbol side and the second main game symbol side is described as a single subroutine for convenience of explanation. ) First, in step 1402, the first main game content determination unit 1141 (second main game content determination unit 1142) satisfies the variation start condition related to the symbol variation of the first main game symbol (second main game symbol). It is determined whether or not. Here, the “variation start condition” means that a special game is in progress or any of the main game symbols is fluctuating (in this example, a fluctuating flag to be described later is turned on, or a fluctuating fixed flag to be described later is turned on. ) Is not.

  In the case of Yes in step 1402, in step 1404, the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) is the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1131a (second main game symbol hold information). The first main game side random number (second main game side random number) related to the current symbol variation, which is temporarily stored in the temporary storage means 1132a), is read. Next, in step 1405, the first main game content determination unit 1141 (second main game content determination unit 1142) uses the read first main game side random number (second main game side random number) as the first main game symbol. The information is deleted from the hold information temporary storage means 1131a (second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means 1132a) and the remaining hold information is shifted (as a result, so-called hold digest is executed). Next, at step 1406, the winning / not-lotting means 1135 determines the first main game random number (particularly the first winning random number) {second main gaming random number (particularly the second winning random number)} and the main gaming side temporary game state. Based on the main game game state (particularly the main game probability change flag state) temporarily stored in the storage means 1191b, the first main game success / failure lottery table 1135b-1 (second main game success / failure lottery table 1135b-3) is stored. Refer to the main game symbol winning / disapproval (big hit) lottery.

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 1) is an example of a first main game success / failure lottery table 1135b-1 (second main game success / failure lottery table 1135b-3). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, the jackpot winning probability in the probability variation gaming state is configured to be higher than the jackpot winning probability in the non-probability variation gaming state. Note that the jackpot winning probability is merely an example, and is not limited to this. Further, in addition to the big hit, it may be configured to win a small hit, in which case the big lottery and the small lottery may be executed with the same lottery table, or the big hit lottery table is referred to first. If the big hit lottery is executed and the lottery is shifted to the big hit lottery, the small hit lottery may be executed with reference to the small hit lottery table. Further, the small hitting lottery may be executed by referring to the small hitting lottery table first, and the big hitting lottery may be executed even when the small hitting lottery is deviated or hit.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in step 1408, the special game transition determining means 1135a determines whether or not the result of the lottery for the main game symbol is a win (in this example, a big win). In the case of Yes in step 1408, in step 1410, the special game transition determining means 1135a turns on the winning flag in the first main game / second main game symbol related information temporary storage means 1191a. On the other hand, if step 1408 is No, step 1410 is skipped.

  In step 1412, the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) in the first main game content determination lottery table 1141 a (second main game content determination lottery table 1142 a). Referring to the first main game stop symbol determination lottery table 1141a-1 (second main game stop symbol determination lottery table 1142a-1), the first main game side random number (particularly the first main game symbol determination random number) { Determining a stop symbol for the first main game symbol (second main game symbol) based on the second main game random number (particularly, the second main game symbol determination random number)} and the result of the lottery for the main game symbol; These are temporarily stored in the first main game / second main game related information temporary storage means 1191a.

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 2) is an example of a first main game stop symbol determination lottery table 1141a-1 (second main game stop symbol determination lottery table 1142a-1). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, a plurality of main game symbol candidates (in this example, “1A, 3A, 7A” and “1B, 3B, 7B”) having different maximum number of execution rounds in a special game. ), One main game symbol is determined as a jackpot symbol. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, one main game symbol is determined as a lose symbol from among a plurality of main game symbol candidates (in this example, “X, SX1, SX2, SX3”) that can be selected at the time of loss. It is configured. Note that the types of main game symbols and selection probabilities are merely examples, and are not limited thereto.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in step 1413, the first main game content determination means 1141 (second main game content determination means 1142) determines the first main game content determination lottery table 1141a (second main game content). Referring to the first main game variation mode determination lottery table 1141a-2 (second main game variation mode determination lottery table 1142a-2) in the determination lottery table 1142a), the first main game random number (particularly, 1 variation mode determination random number) {second main game side random number (especially second variation mode determination random number)}, result of the lottery lottery relating to the main game design and the game state of the main game side (particularly, the main game short flag state) Based on the above, a variation mode relating to the first main game symbol (second main game symbol) is determined, and these are temporarily stored in the first main game / second main game related information temporary storage means 1191a.

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 3) is an example of a first main game variation mode determination lottery table 1141a-2 (second main game variation mode determination lottery table 1142a-2). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, one variation from among a plurality of variation mode candidates (in this example, “A0, A1, A2, A3”, “B0, B1, B2, B3”). The mode is configured to be determined as the variation mode (variation time) of the main game symbol. The type of variation mode (variation time) and the selection probability are merely examples, and are not limited to these.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in step 1414, the information transmitting means 1300 displays the symbol information (whether or not lottery result information, stop) about the first main game symbol (second main game symbol) determined in step 1412 and step 1413. Symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) and game state information {information on the main game probability change flag state and the main game short time flag state in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b, or the auxiliary game side Information related to the auxiliary game short time flag state in the game state temporary storage means 1192b, information related to the remaining number of times of the specific game state (in this example, information related to the counter value of the main game probability variation counter 1181a, or the main game Etc.) etc.} is transmitted to the effect control means 2320 side. Next, in step 1416, the first main game symbol variation time management means 1151a (second main game symbol variation time management means 1152a) sets the predetermined time {the variation time according to the variation mode determined in step 1413} to the first. It is set in the main game symbol variation management timer 1151a-1 (second main game symbol variation management timer 1152a-1). In step 1418, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152) then displays the first main game symbol display unit 2131 (second main game symbol display) of the first main game symbol display device 2130. On the second main game symbol display unit 2231) of the device 2230, according to the variation mode temporarily stored in the first main game / second main game related information temporary storage means 1191a, the main game symbol variation display is started, The first main game symbol variation management timer 1151a-1 (second main game symbol variation management timer 1152a-1) is started. Next, in step 1420, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152) turns on the changing flag in the first main game / second main game symbol related information temporary storage means 1191a. To.

  Next, in step 1422, the first main game symbol variation time management means 1151a (second main game symbol variation time management means 1152a) is a first main game symbol variation management timer 1151a-1 (second main game symbol variation time). With reference to the management timer 1152a-1), it is determined whether or not a predetermined time related to the symbol variation of the main game symbol has been reached. Here, in the case of No in step 1422, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). On the other hand, if Yes in step 1422, in step 1424, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a command to the effect control unit 2320 side indicating that the predetermined time related to the symbol variation of the main game symbol has been reached. Next, in step 1426, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152), the first main game symbol display unit 2130 of the first main game symbol display device 2130 (second main game symbol). The display of the main game symbol on the second main game symbol display unit 2231) of the display device 2230 is stopped, and the stop symbol temporarily stored in the first main game / second main game symbol related information temporary storage means 1191a. Is controlled as a fixed stop symbol.

  Next, in step 1428, the first main game symbol control means 1151 (second main game symbol control means 1152) turns off the changing flag in the first main game / second main game symbol related information temporary storage means 1191a. To. Next, in step 1429-1, the main game symbol variation fixing control means 1155 refers to the first main game / second main game symbol related information temporary storage means 1191a, and determines the main game determined by the current symbol variation. Check the symbol stop symbol. Next, in step 1429-2, based on the confirmation result, the main game symbol variation fixing control means 1155 determines that the stop symbol of the main game symbol in the current symbol variation is a specific symbol (in this example, “SX1 , SX2, SX3 ”and“ 7A, 7B ”in the jackpot symbol is determined. In the case of Yes in step 1429-2, in step 1429-3, the main game symbol variation fixed time management means 1155a refers to the variation fixed time determination reference table 1155b based on the type of the specific symbol, and sets a predetermined time value. At the same time as acquiring, the acquired time value is set in the main game symbol fluctuation fixed management timer 1155a-1 and started (the set time value may be referred to as a fluctuation fixed time hereinafter), step 1429-5. Migrate to

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 4) is an example of the reference table 1155b for variable fixed time determination. As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, based on the type of a specific symbol (in this example, “SX1, SX2, SX3” in the lost symbol and “7A, 7B” in the jackpot symbol), The time value that is the variable fixed time is determined to be one. Then, as will be described later, an effect during the variable fixed time is executed using each time difference in the variable fixed time. Each time difference in the variable fixed time is merely an example, and is not limited to this. Also, different types of specific symbols having the same time value as the variable fixed time are provided (for example, “SX1” where the variable fixed time = 5 seconds is further subdivided into “SX-1” and “SX-2”. It is suitable for a configuration in which it is difficult for the player to determine the relationship between the type of the specific symbol and the time value that is the variable fixed time. .

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, on the other hand, in the case of No in step 1429-2, in step 1429-4, the main game symbol variation fixed time management means 1155a has a predetermined time in the main game symbol variation fixed management timer 1155a-1. A value (for example, 0.5 seconds) is set and started, and the flow proceeds to Step 1429-5. Next, in step 1429-5, the main game symbol fluctuation fixing control means 1155 turns on the variable fixation flag in the first main game / second main game symbol related information temporary storage means 1191a, and in step 1429-6. Transition.

Next, in step 1520, the specific game control means 1180 clears (zero clears) the main game short time counter 1181b, and proceeds to step 1528. In the case of No in step 1516, the process proceeds to step 1528. In step 1528, the condition determination unit 1171 turns on the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and proceeds to the next process (special game control process in step 1600). Even in the case of No in step 1502, the process proceeds to the next process (special game control process in step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the special game executing means 1173 determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in step 1604 and step 1606, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and turns on the special game execution flag. Next, in step 1608, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits information (special game start display instruction information) instructing the start display of the special game to the effect control unit 2320 side, and the process proceeds to step 1612. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1602, in step 1610, the special game execution means 1173 determines whether or not the special game execution flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 is on. If YES in step 1610, the process proceeds to step 1612. If NO in step 1610, the special game executing unit 1173 determines that the special game is not permitted, and the next process (step 5000). Shifts to the prize ball payout process.

  Next, in step 1612, the special game executing means 1173 determines whether or not the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 is on, in other words, whether or not the round is in the middle. To do. If Yes in step 1612, that is, if the round is in the middle, the process proceeds to step 1626 without performing the processes of steps 1614 to 1622 described in detail below. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1612, that is, when it is just before the start of the round, first, in step 1614, the special game control means 1170 stores the release pattern (temporarily stored in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 ( For example, an open pattern that keeps opening and a pattern that opens and closes are set. Next, in step 1616, the special game executing means 1173 clears the winning ball counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 to zero. Next, in step 1618, the special game executing means 1173 adds 1 to the round number counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Note that the number of rounds stored in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 is 0 immediately after the start of the special game (initial value), and is incremented by 1 each time a round is repeated thereafter. Next, in step 1620, the special game executing means 1173 turns on the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. In step 1622, the special game execution unit 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 and confirms which of the first grand prize winning port 2120 or the second grand prize winning port 2220 is to be opened. The first grand prize port 2120 or the second grand prize port 2220 is driven by driving the first grand prize port electric role 2122 or the second big prize port electric role 2222, and the first big prize port 2120 or the second grand prize port. 2220 is released and the process proceeds to step 1626.

  Next, in step 1626, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 to determine whether or not there are predetermined balls (for example, 10 balls) in the round. If Yes in step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1630. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1626, in step 1628, the special game executing means 1173 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed with reference to the round execution timer 1174a (particularly, the opening time timer). Also in the case of Yes in step 1628, the process proceeds to step 1630. In the case of No, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, in step 1630, the special game execution means 1173 drives the first big prize opening electric member 2122 or the second big prize opening electric member 2222 of the first big prize port 2120 or the second big prize port 2220. It stops and closes the 1st grand prize opening 2120 or the 2nd big prize opening 2220. In step 1632, the special game execution means 1173 resets the round execution timer 1174a. Next, in step 1634, the special game executing means 1173 turns off the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1636, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and determines whether or not the round is the final round. In the case of Yes in step 1636, in step 1638, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game execution flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 1640, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits information (special game end display instruction information) for instructing the end display of the special game to the effect control unit 2320 side. In step 9000, the game control unit 1100 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (a prize ball payout process in step 5000). Even in the case of No in step 1636, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the game state determination processing after the special game according to the subroutine of Step 9000 in FIG. First, in step 9002, the specific game control means 1180 sets a predetermined value (10 in this example) to the counter value of the main game probability variation counter 1181a. Next, in step 9004, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the main game probability change flag in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b. Next, in step 9006, the specific game control means 1180 uses the game state information (particularly the main game probability change flag state) temporarily stored in the game related information temporary storage means 1190 (game content determination information temporary storage area). refer. Next, in step 9010, the specific game control means 1180 determines whether or not the current big hit is a big hit in the probability variation gaming state based on the referenced gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 9010, in step 9012, the specific game control means 1180 sets a predetermined value (50 in this example) to the counter value of the main game short time counter 1181 b, and proceeds to step 9020. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 9010, in step 9014, the specific game control means 1180 sets a predetermined value (10 in this example) to the counter value of the main game short-time counter 1181b, and proceeds to step 9020. Next, in step 9020, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the main game short time flag in the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b. Next, in step 9022, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the auxiliary game short time flag in the auxiliary game side game state temporary storage means 1192b, and proceeds to the next process (award ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, the flow of processing on the sub-board side of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. First, FIG. 16 is a main flowchart 5000 showing the flow of general processing performed by the effect control means 2320. First, in step 5200, the effect control means 2320 executes a hold information management / hold display control process to be described later. Next, in steps 6100 (1) and (2), the effect control means 2320 executes first and second sub game display content determination processing described later. Next, in Steps 6200 (1) and (2), the effect control means 2320 executes first and second sub game display control processes described later. Next, in step 6300, the effect control means 2320 executes a special game (during big hit) display control process, which will be described later, and repeats the process of returning to step 5200. Hereinafter, processing related to each subroutine will be described in detail.

  Next, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the hold information management / hold display control process according to the subroutine of step 5200 in FIG. First, in step 5202, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b refers to the main-side information temporary storage unit 2321a and determines whether new hold information has been received from the main controller 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 5202, in step 5204, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b adds (increments) 1 to the drawing hold counter value Ch in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1, and The main game side random number related to the new hold is temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2322b-1. In step 5230, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b executes the same number of hold displays as the drawing hold counter value Ch in the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1, and performs the next processing {step 6100 (1 ) Of the first sub game display content determination process}. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 5202, in step 5220, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b refers to the main information temporary storage unit 2321a, and receives new symbol information (in other words, symbol from the main controller 1000 side). It is determined whether or not a change is started. If Yes in step 5220, in step 5222, the drawing hold information display control unit 2322b subtracts 1 from the drawing hold counter value Ch of the drawing hold information temporary storage unit 2322b-1 and decrements the new value. The main game side random number related to the large symbol variation is deleted from the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2322b-1. In step 5226, the effect control means 2320 turns on the sub game content determination permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and the process proceeds to step 5230. In the case of No in step 5220, the process proceeds to the next process {first sub game display content determination process in step 6100 (1)}.

  Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the first and second subsidiary game display content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 6100 in FIG. Here, the processing is common between step 6100 (1) related to the first sub game corresponding to the first main game side and step 6100 (2) related to the second sub game corresponding to the second main game side. Both will be explained together. First, in step 6102, the drawing display content determination means 2322a-1 determines whether or not the sub game content determination permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c is on. In the case of Yes in step 6102, in step 6104, the drawing display content determination unit 2322 a-1 turns off the sub game content determination permission flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322 c. Next, in step 6106, the figure display content determination means 2322a-1 receives the symbol information from the main controller 1000 side stored temporarily in the main side information temporary storage means 2321a (particularly, the stop symbol of the main game symbol). The stop symbol of the decorative symbol is determined with reference to the stop symbol determination lottery table 2322a-1-2, and temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. Next, in step 6110, the figure display content determination means 2322a-1 receives the symbol information from the main controller 1000 side temporarily stored in the main side information temporary storage means 2321a (particularly, the variation mode of the main game symbols). Based on the above, with reference to the drawing variation content determination lottery table 2322a-1-1, the variation mode on the sub game side (sub side) is determined and temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in step 6150, the drawing display content determination means 2322a-1 executes a variation fixing effect execution content determination process to be described later. Next, in step 6120, the drawing display content determination means 2322a-1 turns on the sub game content determination flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and the next process {first decoration of step 6200 (1)]. The process proceeds to the symbol display control process}. In the case of No in step 6102, the process proceeds to the next process {first decorative symbol display control process in step 6200 (1)}.

  Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the effect execution content determination processing during variation fixing according to the subroutine of step 6150 in FIG. First, in step 6152, the variation fixed effect content determination means 2322d-1 receives the symbol information from the main control device 1000 temporarily stored in the main side information temporary storage means 2321a (in particular, the stop symbol of the main game symbol). Therefore, the scheduled stoppage symbol) is confirmed. Next, in step 6154, the variation fixed effect content determination means 2322d-1 determines which specific symbols (in this example, “SX1, SX2, SX3” and “7A, 7B” are scheduled to stop based on the confirmation result. Depending on whether the symbol is “)”, different processing is executed. If the symbol to be stopped is not any specific symbol, the process returns to the caller of this subroutine.

  Here, if the symbol to be stopped is “SX1” in step 6154, in step 6160, the variation fixing effect content determining means 2322d-1 is in the variable fixed time after the main game symbol is stopped and displayed. As an effect that is mainly executed (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a variation-fixed effect), after a predetermined time has elapsed since the main game symbol was stopped and displayed (the time value is not particularly limited, for example, the specific symbol “SX1”). ”Is set in the production display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and the process proceeds to Step 6180. To do.

  Also, if the symbol to be stopped is “SX2” in step 6154, in step 6165, the variation fixed effect content determination means 2322d-1 is displayed after the predetermined time has elapsed since the main game symbol was stopped and displayed (time value). There is no particular limitation, but for example, after the approximately fixed time of 10 seconds, which is the variable fixed time related to the specific symbol “SX2” has elapsed), the variable fixed effect with the final result of “losing” is produced display related information. The temporary storage unit 2322c is set, and the process proceeds to Step 6180.

  In step 6154, if the symbol to be stopped is “SX3”, in step 6170, the variation fixed effect content determining means 2322d-1 is displayed after a predetermined time has elapsed since the main game symbol was stopped and displayed (time value). There is no particular limitation, but for example, after the approximately fixed time of 15 seconds, which is the variable fixed time related to the specific symbol “SX3”, has passed the fixed result, the final result is “lost”. The temporary storage unit 2322c is set, and the process proceeds to Step 6180.

  Also, if the symbol to be stopped is “7A or 7B” in step 6154, in step 6175, the variable content effect determining means 2322d-1 is displayed after a predetermined time has elapsed since the main game symbol was stopped and displayed ( The time value is not particularly limited. For example, the time elapsed after 15 seconds, which is the variable fixed time related to the specific symbol “SX3”, and before 20 seconds, which is the variable fixed time related to the specific symbol “7A or 7B” After), a variation fixing effect with the final result of “big hit” is set in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and the process proceeds to step 6180. In the processing of Step 6160 to Step 6175, what kind of effect content is to be used as the effect during fixed fluctuation is within the scope of the design items as appropriate. For example, an image simulating roulette is displayed and the final result is “losing” and The content of the presentation may stop at one of the “big hits”, or an image in which the state of the battle with the enemy character is developed and the final result is “defeated by the enemy character” and “ The content of the effect may be displayed as one of the battle results of “Defeat”, and there are a plurality of types of the content of the effect, and the content of the effect is selected by lottery (for example, the final result is “big hit” ”, The selection probability of any production content may be increased).

  Then, in step 6180, the variation fixing effect content determination means 2322d-1 turns on the variation fixing effect execution flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c, and returns to the calling source of this subroutine. When the variation fixing effect execution flag is turned on, as will be described later, the variation fixing effect set in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c is triggered when the main game symbol is stopped and displayed. Will be executed.

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the first and second subsidiary game display control processing according to the subroutine of steps 6200 (1) and (2) in FIG. Here, since the process is common between step 6200 (1) related to the first sub game corresponding to the first main game side and step 6200 (2) related to the second sub game corresponding to the second main game side, Both will be explained together. First, in step 6202, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a determines whether or not the sub game content determination flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c is on. In the case of Yes in step 6202, in step 6204, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a turns off the sub game content determination flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in step 6206, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a turns on the symbol changing flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in step 6208, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a displays the drawing display unit 2311 on the effect display device 2310 based on the variation mode on the secondary game side temporarily stored in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Then, the decorative symbol variation display is started, and the routine proceeds to step 6212. Note that if the result is No in step 6202, the process proceeds to step 6212.

  Next, in step 6212, the decorative symbol display control unit 2322a determines whether or not the symbol changing flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c is on. In the case of Yes in step 6212, in step 6224, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a and determines whether or not the main game symbol is stopped and displayed. In the case of Yes in step 6224, in step 6226, the variation fixing effect display control unit 2322d determines whether or not the variation fixing effect execution flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c is off. In the case of Yes in step 6226, in step 6228, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a displays the fixed symbol (displays the symbol image determined as the decorative symbol stop symbol). Next, in step 6230, the decorative symbol display control means 2322a turns off the symbol changing flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and proceeds to the next processing (display control processing during special game in step 6300). . In the case of No in step 6212 or 6224, the process proceeds to the next process (a special game display control process in step 6300).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 6226, in step 6232, the variation fixing effect display control unit 2322d starts executing the variation fixing effect set in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. Next, in Step 6234, the variation fixing effect display control means 2322d determines whether or not the execution of the started series of variation fixing effect is completed. In the case of Yes in step 6234, in step 6236, the variation fixing effect display control unit 2322d turns off the variation fixing effect execution flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c, and proceeds to step 6228. If No in step 6234, the process proceeds to the next process (display control process during special game in step 6300). It should be noted that the decorative symbol may be confirmed and displayed (display the symbol image determined as the decorative symbol stop symbol) immediately before step 6232, in which case the result of the determination is unclear to the player. It is desirable that the display is stopped and displayed by a combination of symbols.

  Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the special game (during big hit) display control process according to the subroutine of step 6300 in FIG. First, in step 6302, the display control means 2322 determines whether or not the special game in-progress flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c is off. In the case of Yes in step 6302, in step 6304, the display control means 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a, and determines whether or not special game start display instruction information has been received from the main control apparatus 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6304, in step 6306, the display control means 2322 turns on the special game flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c. Next, in step 6308, the display control means 2322 performs a big hit start display on the effect display device 2310, and proceeds to step 6310.

  Next, in step 6310, the display control means 2322 performs a big hit execution display on the effect display device 2310 and, based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main control device 1000 side, determines the number of rounds and the number of winning prizes. Display sequentially. Next, in step 6312, the display control means 2322 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a and determines whether or not special game end display instruction information has been received from the main control apparatus 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6312, in step 6314, the display control unit 2322 performs a big hit end display on the effect display device 2310. In step 6316, the display control means 2322 turns off the special gaming flag in the effect display related information temporary storage means 2322c, and proceeds to the next process (hold information management / hold display control process in step 5200). If NO in step 6302, the process proceeds to step 6310. If NO in steps 6304 and 6312, the process proceeds to the next process (hold information management / hold display control process in step 5200).

(Function)
Next, the effect | action which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated, referring FIG. First, the figure shows the operation contents when the main game symbol is stopped and displayed with a specific symbol (in this example, any of the symbols “SX1, SX2, SX3” and “7A, 7B”). The operation content when the specific symbol is “SX1” (the case of the first stage in the same figure, hereinafter referred to as case 1), the operation content when the specific symbol is “SX2” (same as the above) The case in the second row in FIG. 2, hereinafter referred to as case 2), the operation content when the specific symbol is “SX3” (the case in the third row in FIG. 3, hereinafter referred to as case 3), and The operation contents when the specific symbol is “7A or 7B” (the case of the fourth stage in FIG. 5 and hereinafter referred to as case 4) are respectively illustrated. In this example, it is assumed that the variation mode (variation time) executed when the specific symbol is stopped and displayed is the same.

  First, in any case, a new symbol variation is started at the timing 1 in the figure. Here, at the present timing, the main game symbol variation starts under the situation where the main game symbol winning / losing lottery result is “losing” and a non-specific symbol “X” is selected. As a result, after the predetermined time has passed (for example, when the fluctuation mode “A0” is selected, after 5 seconds), the lost symbol “X” is stopped and displayed, and the predetermined fluctuation fixed time (main In the example, a further symbol variation is started after 0.5 seconds). In addition, when the lost symbol “X” is stopped and displayed, the variation-fixing effect on the sub side is not executed.

  Next, at the timing of 2 in the figure, in case 1 the result of the main game symbol winning / losing lottery is “losing” and the specific symbol “SX1” is selected. In a case where the winning / losing lottery result is “losing” and the specific symbol “SX2” is selected, in case 3, the winning / losing lottery result of the main game symbol is “losing” and the specific symbol “SX3” is Under the selected situation, in case 4, the main game symbol variation starts in the situation where the main game symbol winning / losing lottery result is “big hit” and the specific symbol “7A” is selected. .

  Next, at the timing 3 in the figure, in any case, the specific symbol selected at the timing 2 in the figure is stopped and displayed. Here, at this timing, triggered by the fact that the specific symbol is stopped and displayed, the execution of the effect during fixed fluctuation on the sub-side is started, but the effect content that informs that the final result is uncertain ( For example, an image imitating a roulette rotates, and an effect content in which it is uncertain whether “lost” or “big hit” is executed.

  Next, at the timing of 4 in the figure, in case 1, the final result is “losing” when the final result display timing of the effect with fixed fluctuation set based on the specific symbol “SX1” has been reached. Is definitely notified. Then, after the fixed variation time related to the specific symbol “SX1” has elapsed, further symbol variation is started. On the other hand, in cases 2 to 4, the content of the effect for notifying that the final result is indefinite is executed.

  Next, at the timing of 5 in the figure, in case 2, the final result is “losing” when the final result display timing of the effect during fixed fluctuation set based on the specific symbol “SX2” has been reached. Is definitely notified. Then, after the fixed variation time related to the specific symbol “SX2” has elapsed, further symbol variation is started. On the other hand, in cases 3 to 4, the contents of the effect for informing that the final result is indefinite are executed.

  Next, at the timing of 6 in the figure, in case 3, the final result is “losing” when the final result display timing of the effect during fixed fluctuation set based on the specific symbol “SX3” has been reached. Is definitely notified. Then, after the fixed variation time related to the specific symbol “SX3” has elapsed, further symbol variation is started. On the other hand, in case 4, the contents of the effect for informing that the final result is indefinite is executed.

  Then, at the timing of 7 in the figure, in case 4, the final result may be “big hit” when the final result display timing of the effect with fixed fluctuation set based on the specific symbol “7A” has been reached. Definitely informed. Then, after the variability fixed time has elapsed for the specific symbol “7A”, the special game is started.

  As a result of the operation as described above, according to the present embodiment, it becomes possible to determine the variable fixed time based on the stop game type of the main game symbol {in this example, if it is not a specific symbol, a short time ( 0.5 seconds), and in the case of a specific symbol, a long time (5 to 20 seconds) is determined as the variable fixed time}, and after the main game symbol is stopped and displayed, the determined variable fixed time elapses. Until then, the stop display state of the main game symbol is maintained, so that the new symbol variation and the start of the special game can be delayed. Therefore, as in this example, when the main game symbol is a jackpot symbol, the variable fixed time is set to a long time, whereas when the main game symbol is a lost symbol, the variable fixed time is set to a time shorter than the long time. By providing such a time difference, it is possible to create a game that increases the expectation of a big hit as the variable fixed time is longer. And it is possible to improve the interest of the game by using the time difference to concentrate on the effect during fixed fluctuation. For example, when making an effect on the effect, it is preferable to execute an effect that inquires whether or not the final result is notified at the timing of the branch point of each case. More specifically, in a situation where an image simulating roulette as in this example is rotating, there is a possibility of stopping at any of “losing”, “big hit”, and “NEXT” immediately before the timing 4 in the figure. In the case 1, “lost” is displayed at the timing 4 in the figure, while “NEXT” is displayed at the timing 4 in the figure other than the case 1. It can be exemplified that the content of the effect is such that the roulette starts to rotate again.

(Example of change)
In addition, as shown in the action diagram, in order to make more use of the fluctuation fixed time (effect during fluctuation fluctuation), the fluctuation mode (fluctuation time) until the main game symbol is stopped and displayed in a specific symbol is the same. May be preferred. In such a case, the variation fixed time may be determined in consideration of the type of variation of the main game symbol. Specifically, immediately before execution of step 1429-3, it is determined whether or not the variation mode of the main game symbol is a specific variation mode (for example, “A3, B3”), and the determination result is Yes. In some cases, it may be exemplified that step 1429-3 is executed while step 1429-4 is executed if the determination result is No. Furthermore, when the variation mode itself of the main game symbol has information related to the result of the lottery (for example, the variation mode with a variation time of “4.5 seconds” is selected only at the time of a loss, while the variation time In this case, the variation fixed time is determined based only on the type of variation pattern of the main game symbol. (For example, when the variation time is “4.5 seconds”, the variation fixed time is set to “5 seconds”. On the other hand, when the variation time is “4.6 seconds”, the variation fixed time is set to “20 seconds”. It is possible to create an action similar to that of the present embodiment. That is, “the variation fixed time may be determined based on the type of stop symbol of the main game symbol and / or the type of variation mode (variation time) of the main game symbol”.

  In the present embodiment, it is configured to perform the effect during the variation fixed using the time difference of the variation fixed time, but is not limited to this, and is not limited to this, a special game start standby time (so-called jackpot start demonstration time) ) May be used to execute the effect during fixed fluctuation. Specifically, it can be exemplified that the process is not shifted to the processing after step 1608 until a predetermined period (for example, 4.5 seconds) elapses after execution of step 1606. In the case of such a configuration, for example, when a main game symbol (for example, “3A, 3B” symbol) which is a big hit and is not a specific symbol is selected, the main game symbol is displayed in a stop display → variable fixed time “0. 5 seconds ”→ Big hit start demo time“ 4.5 seconds ”→ Grand prize opening open. On the other hand, if the game is lost and the specific symbol“ SX1 ”is selected, the main game symbol is Since the operation content is as follows: stop display → fluctuation fixed time “5 seconds” → next symbol fluctuation start, it is determined whether the player is “lost” or “big hit” for the “5 seconds” As a result, it becomes possible to execute the effect during fixed fluctuation using the period.

(Second embodiment)
In the present embodiment, the event that is notified as the final result of the effect during fixed variation is that the stop symbol of the main game symbol that triggered the execution of the effect during fixed change is “losing” or “big hit”. It is only about whether there is, but it is not limited to this. Here, the period during the fluctuation fixed time (5 to 20 seconds in this example) when the specific symbol is stopped and displayed is a period of connection between a certain symbol variation and the next symbol variation of the certain symbol variation. Due to the length of the period, the player recognizes the connection period as "change waiting time for a certain symbol change" for a player in a situation where unreserved reserves remain. And can be recognized as “the next variation start waiting time of the certain symbol variation”. Therefore, an example of the effect during fixed fluctuation using such characteristics is referred to as a second embodiment, and only changes from the present embodiment will be described below.

  Next, FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the effect-deciding process for determining the effect of changing the variation according to the subroutine of Step 6150 of FIG. 19 in the second embodiment. First, the changes from the present embodiment are about Step 6182 (second) to Step 6190 (second), and the purpose is to determine the final result of the effect with fixed fluctuation when determining the final result of the effect with fixed fluctuation. In addition to the type of stop symbol of the main game symbol that triggers the execution, it is determined in a form that also takes into account the pre-determined result related to the current unreserved suspension. That is, in step 6182 (second), the variation fixing effect content determination unit 2322d-1 determines whether or not the variation fixing effect execution flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c is on. In the case of Yes in step 6182 (second), in step 6184 (second), the variation fixing effect content determining means 2322d-1 is the final of the variation fixing effect set in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. It is determined whether or not the result is “losing”. In the case of Yes in step 6184 (second), in step 6186 (second), the variation fixed effect content determination means 2322d-1 is temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means 2322b-1 on the main game side. Based on the random number (the main game side random number related to the undigested suspension), the result of the main game symbol is pre-determined (note that the pre-determined execution target may be only the suspension of the next digestion schedule, All may be on hold). Next, in Step 6188 (second), the variation fixed effect content determination means 2322d-1 determines that the specific suspension (for example, the lottery random number is 5 to 15) in the undigested suspension based on the prior determination result. It is determined whether there is a hold). In the case of Yes in step 6188 (second), in step 6190 (second), the variation fixing effect content determining means 2322d-1 is the variation fixing effect that is set in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c. The final result is changed to “Possibility of generating a big hit (for example, a chance or a sudden hit)” and the process returns to the caller of this subroutine. In the case of No in step 6182 (second), step 6184 (second), or step 6188 (second), the process returns to the caller of this subroutine.

  As a result of the above effects, according to the second embodiment, it is possible to determine the variable fixed time based on the type of stop symbol of the main game symbol, and after the stop display of the main game symbol, the determined As a result of maintaining the stop display state of the main game symbol until the variable fixed time has elapsed, it is possible to delay the start of a new symbol variation and special game, in the period during the delay In addition to executing the effect with fixed fluctuation, when determining the final result of the effect with fixed fluctuation, in addition to the type of stop symbol of the main game symbol that triggers the execution of the effect with fixed fluctuation, It is configured to make decisions based on the results of prior judgment. Therefore, the characteristic of the period during the delay that the player can recognize as “a variation end waiting time of a certain symbol variation” and also can be recognized as “the next variation start waiting time of the certain symbol variation”. It is possible to inform the player of the results of multiple symbol variations as the final result of a single variation-fixed performance without any sense of incongruity. It becomes.
