Description

  It relates to pachinko machines.

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

  Here, since this mechanism is common to this type of pachinko machine, in order to differentiate it from other types, how to devise the overall production including the variation aspect of the above-mentioned design and to have high interest It is focused on whether to grant. For example, if you are in a situation where you can't start changing the display of a “special symbol”, the game will have a function to hold the change display when a game ball has entered the start gate. One of them is a technique (so-called reservation pre-reading effect) that improves the interest of the game by configuring so as to notify or suggest.

The second main game start port entrance determining means MJ11-B for determining whether or not a game ball has entered B10, and the auxiliary game start port for determining whether or not a game ball has flowed into the auxiliary game start port H10 In the first winning prize entrance determining means MJ11-C10 and the second winning prize opening C20, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the first winning prize opening C10. And a second grand prize opening entrance judging means MJ11-C20 for judging whether or not a game ball has entered.

  Next, the random number acquisition determination execution means MJ20 determines whether or not to acquire the first main game side random number based on the game ball entering the first main game start opening A10, and according to the determination result, To first main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-A for acquiring random numbers (for example, first winning random number, first variation mode determining random number, first main game symbol determining random number, etc.) and second main game starting port B10 And determining whether or not to acquire the second main game random number based on the incoming game ball, and depending on the determination result, the random number (for example, the second winning random number, the second variation mode determining random number, the second main random number, A second main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-B for acquiring a game symbol determination random number and the like, and whether or not the auxiliary game side selection random number can be acquired, and an auxiliary game for acquiring the random number based on the determination result Random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-H There.

  Here, the “random number” in the claims and the present specification including the above is, for example, “0” to “65535” or “random number” assigned according to the type of random number (for example, a winning random number or a variation mode determining random number). It is a value randomly selected from a predetermined range such as “0” to “255”. The random number may not be a mathematically generated random number, but may be a pseudo random number generated by a hardware random number, a software random number, or the like. For example, the expression method of each value in the random number is a method in which the value is expressed in order along the random number sequence (plus one method), the next value when the final value of the random number sequence is expressed (initial value) ) With a contingent value (initial value update method), a combination of these, and the like. By acquiring a random number by such a method, it is possible to generate an aperiodic random number that is difficult to be predicted by the player. Conversely, for example, in the case of a method for generating a next random number using a random number used in a certain lottery, the next random number is likely to be predicted. Therefore, when generating a random number, it is preferable to generate a new random number without using the random number used in the previous lottery.

  Next, the hold control means MJ30 uses the hold digest control means MJ31 for controlling the processing related to the hold digest and the change start, and the first main game side random number obtained in a situation where the first main game symbol change permission has not been granted.

Note that another peripheral device may be controlled via the main control board M and another peripheral device controlled by one-way communication (one-way communication).

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

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

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

  Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. The main control board M executes the process shown in FIG. 5B based on the interrupt request generated when the scheduled interrupt timing is reached. That is, triggered by the arrival of the scheduled interrupt period T (for example, a hardware interrupt about every 1.5 ms), in step 1100, the main control board M executes an auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition process described later. Next, at step 1200, the main control board M executes an electric accessory driving determination process described later. Next, in step 1300, the main control board M executes a main game content determination random number acquisition process which will be described later. Next, in step 1400, the main control board M executes a main game symbol display process described later. Next, at step 1500, the main control board M executes a special game operation condition determination process described later. Next, in step 1600, the main control board M executes a special game control process described later. Next, in step 1910, the main control board M (especially the winning ball payout determining means MH) wins the winning ball payout control process (drive control of the winning ball payout device KE, etc.) based on the winning opening where the game ball has won. The payout control board KH is executed, and a process for managing the result is executed. Next, in step 1920, the main control board M executes external signal output processing (information output to the external terminal board, hall computer HC, etc.). Next, in step 1930, the main control board M executes a control command transmission process (transmits the command set in each process described above to the sub main control unit side), and is executed immediately before the execution of this interrupt process. Return to the process that was being performed. In the control command transmission process, the order in which commands are received on the sub-main control unit SM side is important (for example, the process is normally executed by receiving another command after receiving a certain command). In some cases, the commands are transmitted in the order in which the main control board M determines to transmit the commands (in the order in which the commands are set).

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of main game content determination random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. First, in step 1302, the first main game start entrance entering determination means MJ11-A receives the first main game start entrance entrance information from the first main game start entrance entrance detection device A11s of the first main game start entrance A10. Is received. In the case of Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the first main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-A refers to the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-A and determines the main game (especially the first main game). It is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls related to the “side” is not the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1304, in step 1306, the first main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-A acquires the first main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the first main game content determination random number, a winning lottery random number for determining whether or not to win, a symbol lottery random number for determining a winning symbol, and a variation pattern (variation time) of a special symbol are determined. The three random numbers of the variation mode lottery random numbers to acquire are acquired. Incidentally, these three random numbers are generated from random number generation means having different update periods and random number ranges, and are sequentially acquired at this timing. Next, in step 1308, the first main game symbol holding means MJ32-A temporarily stores (holds) the acquired first main game content determination random number in the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-A. . Next, in step 1312, the hold control means MJ30 pre-determines the stored hold prefetch group based on the gaming state and the hold information (variation mode determining random number).

  Here, the hold prefetch group is a group that distinguishes whether or not the prefetch effect is to be executed when determining whether or not the prefetch effect can be performed on the sub-main control unit SM side. In this example, the fluctuation mode related to the hold whose hold prefetch group is group 1 (group A) is a relatively short change time (for example, 15 seconds or less), and the hold prefetch group is group 3 (group C). The change mode related to the hold is a change time of a relatively long time (for example, 60 seconds or more), and the change mode related to the hold whose hold look-ahead group is group 1 is relatively medium time (for example, 15 The fluctuation time is longer than second and less than 60 seconds). Further, in the variation mode determination lottery table in the case where the success / failure result is a loss, the variation mode related to the hold whose hold prefetch group is group 1 (group A) has a large number of holds at the start of the change (2 to 2). In the case of 3), the change time is relatively short compared to the case where the number of holdings is small (0 to 1), and the holding prefetch groups are group 2 (group B) and group 3 (group C). The variation mode related to a certain hold is determined regardless of the number of holds at the start of the change. In the present embodiment, it is configured so that the prefetch effect can be executed only for the hold of the group 3 that has a relatively long fluctuation time regardless of the number of holds at the start of change (holding prefetch group). (See the main game table 3 in FIG. 12). In the following, the holding (or fluctuation) that becomes the holding prefetch group of the group N (N is a number) is simply referred to as the holding (or fluctuation) of the group N (for example, the holding of the group 1, the holding of the group 2, the holding of the group 3). May be referred to as fluctuations, etc.).

  Next, in step 1324, the hold control means MJ30 sends a command related to a new hold occurrence (a hold occurrence command of the first main game content determination random number, a command related to hold prefetch group information, etc.) to the sub-main control unit SM. It is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process in step 1930).

  Next, in step 1326, the second main game start entrance entering determination means MJ11-B enters the second main game start entrance entrance from the second main game start entrance entrance detection device B11s of the second main game start entrance B10. It is determined whether or not information has been received. In the case of Yes in step 1326, in step 1328, the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-B refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-B and determines the main game (particularly the second main game). It is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls related to the “side” is not the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1328, in step 1330, the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-B acquires the second main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the second main game content determination random number, three random numbers of the success / failure lottery random number, the symbol lottery random number, and the variation mode lottery random number are acquired as in the first main game content determination means. Incidentally, the acquisition range of each random number of the first main game content determination random number and the acquisition range of each random number of the second main game content determination random number (for example, the first lottery random number for the first main game and the right lottery random number for the second main game) Are set to the same range. Next, in step 1332, the second main game symbol holding means MJ32-B temporarily stores (holds) the acquired second main game content determination random number in the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-B. . Next, in step 1334, the hold control means MJ30 pre-determines the stored hold prefetch group based on the gaming state and hold information (variation mode determining random number).

  Next, in step 1336, the hold control means MJ30 sends a command related to a new hold occurrence (a hold occurrence command of the second main game content determination random number, a command related to hold prefetch group information, etc.) to the sub-main control unit SM. The command is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1930), and the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1400). In the case of No in step 1302 or step 1304, the process proceeds to step 1326, and in the case of No in step 1326 or step 1328, the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 1400).

  In step 1308 and step 1332, the first main game content determination random number is stored and the second main game content determination random number is stored, but the main game content determination random number is stored in the RAM storage area of the main control board. Is stored, and only the information related to the “main game content determination random number” is stored in the byte storing the information related to the main game content determination random number (various timers). It is preferable to configure such that other information such as value is not stored) (when operating another data stored in the same 1 byte, information related to the main game content determination random number is rewritten due to noise or the like) To prevent it). In addition, with regard to the winning lottery random number, a change in the gaming state (from the gaming state related to the hold that has already been recorded) between the acquisition of the winning lottery random number and the execution of the winning lottery related to the winning lottery random number. Since not only the change but also the game state may change due to the newly generated hold, the game state at the time of the lottery execution related to the lottery random number may be unpredictable). Until the process is executed, the lottery random number is stored.

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. First, in step 1401, the hold digest control means MJ31 refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-B and confirms whether or not there is a hold of the second main game symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1401, in step 1400 (1), the game content determination means MN executes a first main game symbol display process described later, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1500). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1401, in step 1400 (2), the game content determination means MN executes a second main game symbol display process described later, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1500).

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

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

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

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 1) is an example of a first main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-A (second main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-B). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, the jackpot winning probability in the probability varying gaming state is configured to be higher than the jackpot winning probability in the non-stochastic varying gaming state. Note that the winning probability is merely an example, and is not limited to this. Further, in the present embodiment, the hit (so-called small hit) where the gaming state cannot be changed is not illustrated, but a small hit may be generated (winning for the small hit).

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

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 2) is an example of a first main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-A (second main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-B). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, when a big hit is won, a plurality of main game symbol candidates (in this example, “4A, 5A, 7A” and “4B, 5B, 7B”) are selected. One main game symbol is configured to be determined as a jackpot symbol. It should be noted that the number of special game rounds determined with reference to the main game symbol is 2R for 4A and 5A, 8R for 4B and 5B, and 16R for 7A and 7B. Note that the types of random numbers and stop symbols are only examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. {For example, a lose symbol is not limited to one type of symbol, and a plurality of types of symbols may be provided. When the specific symbol is stopped and displayed, the state and the selection rate of the variation mode and / or the selection rate of the main game symbol are different from those before the specific symbol is stopped and displayed (limited frequency state). May be configured to migrate}. In addition, after the special game related to the “4A” symbol is finished, the game shifts to a non-probability variation / non-time-reduced gaming state, and after the special game related to the “5A” symbol is finished, the game moves to a probability variation / non-time-reduced game state. In either case, it is configured to execute substantially the same effects. As a result, it becomes difficult for the player to determine whether the special game related to the jackpot symbol, “4A” symbol or “5A” symbol, has been executed (so-called “hidden state” is created), and the interest of the game is improved. It becomes.

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

  Here, FIG. 12 (main game table 3) is an example of a first main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A (second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, the variation mode (variation time) of the main game symbol is determined based on the result of lottery determination of the main game symbol, the main game short flag state, and the number of holds at the start of variation. It is comprised so that. That is, when the main game symbol winning / losing lottery result is a win, it is easy to determine a variation mode in which the variation time is relatively long, and when the main game short flag is on (relative to the short game state) The variation mode in which the variation time is short is easily determined, and the variation mode in which the variation time is relatively short when the number of reservations is 2 to 3 compared to the case where the number of reservations is 0 to 1 Is easily determined (only when lost). This example is merely an example, and is not limited to the type of stop symbol, the selection rate, or the like. Further, the symbol variation time on the first main game side in the time-reduced game state (when the main game short-time flag is on) may be configured to be relatively long {the symbol variation on the second main game side Is configured to be advantageous for the player, it is easy for the second main game side to be suspended by reducing the symbol variation efficiency on the first main game side (advantageous for the player). It is particularly effective when the starting port on the first main game side and the starting port on the second main game side cannot be distinguished in order to establish the situation.

  Further, as shown in this example, in the present embodiment, the hold prefetch group is determined by the random number for determining the variation mode. When the variation time of the first main game symbol (second main game symbol) is short (in this example, the variation time is 15 seconds or less), the reserved prefetch group is assigned to Group 1 (Group A). When the variation time of one main game symbol (second main game symbol) is a long time (in this example, the variation time is 60 seconds or more) without depending on the number of holds at the beginning of the variation, group 3 (group C ), When the variation time of the first main game symbol (second main game symbol) is relatively medium time (in this example, longer than 15 seconds and less than 60 seconds), group 2 It is configured to be determined as (Group B). In the present embodiment, in the random number range corresponding to group 1 (group A) in the variation mode determination lottery table in the case where the result is a loss, the variation time (and effect mode) is held at the start of variation. It may be different depending on the number, that is, it is configured such that the variation time (and the production mode) becomes uncertain until the time of the on-hold digestion. In the present embodiment, only the hold determined for group 3 (group C) can be a hold (trigger hold) that triggers the generation of a prefetch effect. The hold that can be a hold (trigger hold) that triggers the generation of the prefetch effect is not limited to the hold of the group 3 (group C). You may comprise so that it may become hold (trigger hold). In such a configuration, the hold of group 3 (group C) is more likely to be a hold (trigger hold) that triggers the prefetch effect than the hold of group 2 (group B) (winning the prefetch lottery) It is desirable to make it easy to do.

  Next, in step 1414, the game content determination means MN sends the symbol variation display start instruction command (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information) temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C. The information related to the determined main game symbol such as the variation mode information and the command related to the current gaming state) is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to the sub-main control unit SM side (control command transmission in step 1930) (Sent to the sub-main control unit SM side by processing). Next, in step 1416, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C sets a predetermined time related to the main game symbol variation time in the first and second main game symbol variation management timer MP11t-C. To do. Next, in step 1417, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C causes the first main game symbol display unit A21g (first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20)). On the second main game symbol display unit B21g), the main game symbol variation display is started in accordance with the variation mode stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C. Next, in step 1418, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C turns on the changing flag in the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C, Control goes to step 1420.

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

  Next, in step 1420, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C determines whether or not a predetermined time related to the variation time of the main game symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1420, in step 1422, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C sends information indicating that the symbol variation has ended (the symbol confirmation display instruction command) to the sub main control unit SM side. It is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process in step 1930). Next, in step 1423, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C causes the first main game symbol display unit A21g of the first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20) ( The change display of the main game symbol on the second main game symbol display part B21g) is stopped, and the stop symbols stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C are displayed as the fixed stop symbols. Control. Next, in step 1428, the first / second main game symbol control means MP11-C turns off the changing flag in the flag area of the first / second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C. .

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

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

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of specific game end determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1450 in FIG. First, at step 1452, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b and determines whether or not the main game probability change flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1470, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the value of the time reduction counter MP52c and determines whether or not the counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1470, in step 1472, the specific game control means MP50 decrements (decrements) the counter value of the time reduction counter MP52c. Next, in step 1474, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the value of the time reduction counter MP52c and determines whether or not the counter value (remaining time reduction count) is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1474, in step 1476 and step 1478, the specific game control means MP50 turns off the main game short time flag and the auxiliary game short time flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. (Step 1500). In addition, also in the case of No in step 1452, step 1470, or step 1474, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the special game operation condition determination process according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the condition determination means MP31 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the condition device operation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1514, the special game control means MP30 determines the specific game flag (main game probability change flag / main game short flag / auxiliary game short time) in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Flag) off. Next, in step 1518, the specific game control means MP50 clears the value of the time reduction counter MP52c. Next, in step 1520, the special game control means MP30 turns on a special game transition permission flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1522, the special game control means MP30 turns off the condition device operation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 1600). In the case of No in step 1502, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in step 1604 and step 1606, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the special game transition permission flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and the special game execution flag. Turn on. Next, in step 1607, the special game execution means MP33 sets an initial value (1 in this example) to a round number counter (not shown) in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1608, the special game executing means MP33 sets information (special game start display instruction command) to start the special game in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit side ( In step 1930, the control command is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM 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 MP33 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 1610, the process proceeds to step 1612. In the case of No in step 1610, the special game execution means MP33 determines that the special game permission is not granted, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 1910).

  Next, in step 1612, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b to determine whether the round continuation flag is off, in other words, immediately before the start of each round. It is determined whether or not there is. In the case of Yes in step 1612, that is, immediately before the start of each round, first, in step 1614, the special game execution means MP33 opens the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b in the release pattern (the main game symbol stop symbol is displayed). In the case of 4A or 5A, an opening pattern of “0.2 second open → 1.0 second closed → 0.2 second open → closed”, and when the main game stop symbol is 7A, 4B, 5B or 7B, “29 .Opening pattern “Open for 0 seconds → Closed”) is set. Next, in step 1616, the special game executing means MP33 clears the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c to zero. Next, in step 1618, the special game execution means MP33 turns on the round continuation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1620, the special game executing means MP33 drives the first big prize opening electric combination C11d (or the second big prize opening electric combination C21d) of the first big prize opening C10 to make the first big prize winning. The mouth C10 (or the second grand prize opening C20) is opened, the special game timer MP34t (particularly, the opening time timer) is set to a predetermined time (for example, 29 seconds), and the process starts. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1612, that is, when the big prize opening is being opened, the process proceeds to step 1622 without performing the processing of steps 1614 to 1620.

  Next, in step 1622, the special game execution means MP33 transmits a game state command (for example, the current round number, game ball winning number, etc.) related to the current special game to the sub-main control unit SM side. Is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side in the control command transmission process of step 1930). Next, in step 1624, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c, and a predetermined number (for example, 10 balls) is assigned to the first big winning opening C10 (or the second big winning opening C20) in the round. ) Is determined whether or not there is a winning ball. If Yes in step 1624, the process proceeds to step 1628. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1624, in step 1626, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game timer MP34t (especially the open time timer) and has a predetermined time (for example, 29 seconds) related to the special winning opening. It is determined whether or not it has elapsed. Also in the case of Yes in step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1628. In the case of No in step 1626, the processing proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 1910).

  Next, in step 1628, the special game executing means MP33 sets the first big prize opening electric combination C11d of the first big prize opening C10 (or the second big prize opening electric combination C21d of the second big prize opening C20). The driving is stopped and the first grand prize opening C10 (or the second big prize opening C20) is closed. Next, in step 1630, the special game execution means MP33 resets a special game timer MP34t (particularly an open time timer). Next, in step 1632, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the round continuation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1633, the special game execution means MP33 adds 1 to the counter value of the round number counter (not shown) in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1634, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the final round has ended (for example, the round number counter in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b). Whether or not the counter value (not shown) exceeds the maximum number of rounds). In the case of Yes in step 1634, in step 1636, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the special game execution flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1638, the special game executing means MP33 sets information (special game end display instruction command) to end the special game in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub main control unit SM side. (Sent to the sub-main control unit SM in the control command transmission process in step 1930). Then, in step 1650, the specific game control means MP50 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1910). Even in the case of No in step 1634, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 1910).

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the game state determination process after the end of the special game according to the subroutine of step 1650 in FIG. First, in step 1652, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the stop symbol is a probable big hit symbol (after the execution of the special game is finished, the probability variation game state is reached). It is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol to be transferred is 5A, 5B, 7A, 7B) in this example. In the case of Yes in step 1652, in step 1654, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game probability change flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and proceeds to step 1656. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1652, that is, in the case where the stop symbol is a non-probable variation big hit symbol (a big hit symbol that does not shift to the probability variation gaming state after the execution of the special game, 4A / 4B in this example) 1656.

  Next, in step 1656, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the stop symbol is a probable change / time and jackpot symbol (the probability change after the execution of the special game is completed). It is a jackpot symbol that shifts to a gaming state and a time-saving gaming state, and in this example, it is determined whether or not it is 5B, 7A, 7B). If Yes in step 1656, the process proceeds to step 1666. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1656, in step 1658, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the stop symbol is a non-probable change / time and college bonus symbol (special It is determined whether the game is a jackpot symbol that shifts to a non-stochastic game state and a time-reduced game state after completion of the game, and in this example, it is 4B). In the case of Yes in step 1658, in step 1660, the specific game control means MP50 sets a predetermined number (in this example, 50 times) to the counter value of the time-count counter MP52c, and proceeds to step 1666. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1658, in step 1662, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the stop symbol is a latent probability variation big hit symbol (non-probability variation). If a big win is won in a gaming state and a non-time-reduced gaming state, the gaming state after the jackpot will be a probability-variable gaming state and a non-time-reduced gaming state, while a non-stochastic variable gaming state and a non-time If the jackpot is won when the game is not in the reduced game state, the game state after the jackpot is a jackpot symbol in which the game state becomes a probability-variable game state and a time-reduced game state. judge. In the case of Yes in step 1662, in step 1664, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and the game state at the time of the big hit winning that triggered the special game that has been executed is changed in probability. It is determined whether or not the game state. If Yes in step 1664, the process proceeds to step 1666.

  Next, in step 1666 and step 1668, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game short time flag and the auxiliary game short time flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and performs the next processing (step 1910). Note that if the answer is No in Step 1662 or Step 1664, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in Step 1910).

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 17 to 27, control processing executed on the sub-main control unit SM side will be described. First, FIG. 17 is a main flowchart on the sub-control board S side (particularly on the sub-main control unit SM side) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. Here, the process of FIG. 4D is a process on the sub-main control unit SM side that is executed after resetting, such as when the game machine is powered on. That is, at the time of powering on the gaming machine, in step 2002, the sub-main control unit SM executes an initial process based on the information received from the main side (main control board M side) (for example, RAM clear information is stored). If received, the sub-side RAM is initialized, various information commands are received, and the production-related information at the time of power interruption is reset in the sub-side RAM). Next, in step 2003, the sub-main control unit SM restores the number of holds (for example, the drawing hold counter value) based on the information received from the main side (main control board M side). In addition, the information related to the effect that is being executed or the look-ahead effect is not restored (and the information related to the pending content is not retransmitted from the main side), and the “Preparing” screen is displayed until the start of the next change. To do. With this configuration, when power interruption occurs when the background effect is “angel zone background”, the information stored on the sub side is lost. After the return of, information indicating that the trigger is suspended does not remain, and the background effect is changed from the “angel zone background” to another background effect (background effect such as a flat ground stage described later). As a result, there is a discrepancy between the hold information stored on the main side and the hold information stored on the sub side due to power interruption (for example, due to power interruption or noise at power recovery). However, it is possible to avoid a situation in which a zone effect with a high degree of expectation is executed on the sub side while a low degree of expectation is changing on the main side. In addition, the process after the return of the power interruption is not limited to this, and after the interruption of the power interruption, the information indicating that the trigger is held immediately before the occurrence of the power interruption is restored, and “ It may be configured to maintain an “angel zone background”. In such a configuration, for example, a subsidence area is provided on the sub side where information can be maintained even during power interruption, and information related to performance is backed up in the retreat area when a power interruption occurs, and power interruption recovery is performed. It may be configured to restore backed up information from time to time. In addition, it may be configured so that information related to the content of the hold is received again from the main side at the time of power failure recovery, at the start of change, at the time of change stop, at the time of occurrence of hold (even for hold other than the newly generated hold) Good {Although not specifically shown in this example, at the time of power failure recovery, only information related to the number of holds is transmitted from the main side (information related to the contents of hold is not sent). . For this reason, since the information related to the hold that existed at the time of the power interruption does not exist after the interruption of the power interruption, it becomes impossible to execute the prefetch effect (for example, the prefetching at the time of fluctuation stop described later) for the hold ( In addition, it may be configured to receive information related to the hold from the main side at the time of power recovery, and a pre-reading effect may be executed for the hold). Note that if a power interruption occurs while the decorative symbol is changing, and if it does not have a function to maintain the information at the time of the interruption, it will remain dark until it receives the change end command from the main side. A screen (for example, a screen that displays “in preparation” or the like) will be displayed}. In the present embodiment, switching the background effect so as to display the “angel zone background” as the background effect may be described as shifting to the “angel zone”. Thereafter, the process proceeds to a loop process for repeatedly executing (b) which is a repetitive process routine of the sub main control unit SM. Here, when (b) is executed, as shown in the process of (b) of the figure, first, in step 2100, the secondary game control means (sub-main control unit) SM performs a hold information management process to be described later. Execute. Next, in step 2200, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a decorative symbol display content determination process described later. Next, in step 2300, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a decorative symbol display control process described later. Next, at step 2400, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a special game related display control process which will be described later. Next, in step 2500, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a background effect control process described later. Next, in step 2600, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a display command transmission control process (transmits commands set in these series of subroutines to the sub sub control unit SS side). The repetition processing routine is terminated.

  As described above, the sub-main control unit SM employs a form in which the sub-main routine (S2100 to S2600) is loop processed after reset. Further, the process of FIG. 5C is an interrupt process of the sub main control unit SM, and the signal from the STB signal line on the main control board M described above is a terminal of the CPU of the sub main control unit SM (in this example). , NMI terminal) is a processing flow (c). That is, when an NMI interrupt occurs in the CPU of the sub main control unit SM (when the STB signal line is turned on), in step 2004, the sub main control unit SM receives the command input port (from the main control board M side). Check the data signal line input port). In step 2006, the sub main control unit SM sends the command transmitted from the main control board M side to the RAM (eg, main side information temporary storage means SM11b) on the sub main control unit SM side based on the confirmation result. Is temporarily stored, and the process that was being executed immediately before this interrupt process is restored.

  Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the hold information management process according to the subroutine of step 2100 in FIG. First, in step 2102, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b, and from the main control board M side, a command (first main game symbol or second main game symbol) related to the new hold occurrence. It is determined whether or not (holding information relating to a game symbol) has been received. In the case of Yes in step 2102, in step 2104, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 displays the drawing hold counter in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b (in this example, a maximum of four for the first main game, Add “1” to the maximum number of second main games. Next, in step 2106, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 is based on the hold occurrence command transmitted from the main control board M side, and holds the hold information (in particular, the random value and hold prefetch group information related to the main game symbol lottery). ) Is temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Next, in step 2150, the drawing suspension information display control means SM22 executes a prize pre-read lottery which will be described later, and proceeds to step 2118.

  On the other hand, if No in step 2102, in step 2110, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and has received a symbol variation display start instruction command from the main control board M side? Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2110, in step 2112, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 subtracts “1” from the drawing hold counter in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Next, in step 2114, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 displays the hold information related to the symbol change (particularly, the random number value and hold prefetch group information related to the main game symbol lottery), and the drawing hold information temporary storage means. While deleting from the SM 22b, the remaining hold information is shifted. Next, in step 2116, the drawing suspension information display control means SM22 turns on the symbol content determination permission flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and proceeds to step 2118. Note that if the result of step 2110 is No, the process proceeds to step 2118.

  Next, in step 2118, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 makes full use of the effect display means SS on the effect display device SG (in particular, the first hold display portion SG12 and the second hold display portion SG13). The same number of hold display lamps as the drawing hold counter value in the figure hold information temporary storage means SM22b are turned on, and the process proceeds to the next process (step 2200). It should be noted that there is no problem even if the first hold display part SG12 and / or the second hold display part SG13 and the decorative symbol display area SG11 overlap, in such a case, in the area where the display overlaps, Any one of the hold display and the decorative symbol display may be configured to be visible to the player. Further, in the present embodiment, the first hold display unit SG12 and the second hold display unit SG13 on the effect display device SG are configured to perform the hold display, but the hold display is limited to this. For example, separately from the effect display device SG, a lamp member dedicated to hold display controlled on the sub-main control unit SM side may be provided, and the hold display may be executed by the lamp member, or the effect display device SG. A second effect display device different from the above may be provided, and a hold display, an effect, or the like may be executed by the second effect display device.

  Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the prefetch determination process at the time of winning according to the subroutine of step 2150 in FIG. This process will be described in two parts: a process related to the prohibition condition of the pre-read lottery and a process related to the pre-read lottery. In the former prefetch lottery prohibition process, first, in step 2152, the hold prefetch effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and whether there is a second main game hold in the hold. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2152, in step 2154, the hold prefetch effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not the current game state is not the time reduction game state. In the case of Yes in step 2154, in step 2156, the hold prefetch effect execution possibility determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the hold prefetch group is group 3 before the new hold. It is determined whether or not it exists. In the case of Yes in step 2156, in step 2158, the hold prefetch effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b and determines whether or not there is a trigger hold in the hold. Here, the trigger hold is a hold that is won in the winning pre-read lottery at the time of winning or the variable stop pre-read lottery to be described later, and is a holding that becomes an opportunity to move to the angel zone to be described later or to stop the special symbol. In the case of Yes in step 2158, in step 2160, the hold pre-reading effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and whether there is a big hit hold before the new hold. Determine whether. If Yes in step 2160, the process proceeds to step 2162.

  Next, in the processing related to the latter prefetch lottery, first, in step 2162, the hold prefetch effect execution possibility determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the new hold prefetch group of hold is determined. It is determined whether it is group 3 or not. In the case of Yes in step 2162, in step 2164, the hold prefetch effect execution possibility determination means SM26k executes a prefetch lottery for winning winning with a predetermined probability (1/6 in this example) for the new hold. Next, in step 2166, the hold prefetch effect execution possibility determination means SM26k determines whether or not the winning prefetch lottery is won. In the case of Yes in step 2166, in step 2168, the hold pre-reading effect execution availability determination means SM26k is set to “trigger hold” for the new hold won in the winning pre-read lottery in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Information to that effect is added and temporarily stored, and the processing proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 2118).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2152 (when the second main game hold is present in the hold), in step 2170, the hold prefetch effect execution availability determination means SM26k is temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Delete the information indicating "trigger hold" from the stored hold information (if there is no hold in the hold with information indicating that the trigger is held, this process is not executed and the next The process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2118). It should be noted that if the result of Step 2154, Step 2156, Step 2158, Step 2160, Step 2162, or Step 2166 is No, the process proceeds to the next process (Step 2118). Note that in the process of step 2170, when there is a hold on the second main game side (occurrence), in the second main game side priority digestion gaming machine as in this embodiment, the newly generated second main game This is a configuration for avoiding a situation in which the pre-reading effect over a plurality of variations is not executed normally because the game-side suspension is consumed first, so that the planned variation order is not achieved.

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of step 2200 in FIG. First, in step 2202, the drawing display content determination means SM21n refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the symbol content determination permission flag is on. If Yes in step 2202, in step 2204, the drawing display content determination means SM21n turns off the symbol content determination permission flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2208, the design display content determination means SM21n (and the notice effect display content determination means SM24n, the reach effect display content determination means SM25n) are temporarily stored in the main information temporary storage means SM11b (symbol information ( Referring to the stop symbol / variation mode relating to the main game symbol) and the drawing variation content determination lottery table SM21ta, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol {for example, when the stop symbol relating to the main game symbol is a jackpot symbol , If it is a flat eye such as “7,7,7”, or a lost symbol, it is “1,3,5”, etc.} and a variation mode {eg, related to the main game symbol When the variation mode is short-term variation, non-reach, and when long-term variation, normal reach, super reach, etc.} are determined, and the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b (and WARNING effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, temporarily stored in the reach demonstration related information temporary storage means SM25b).

  Next, in step 2216, the drawing display content determination means SM21n draws the drawing variation content determination lottery based on the result of the decoration symbol temporarily stored in the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b and the variation pattern of the decoration symbol. The main effect content is determined with reference to the main effect table (for example, main effect table 1 to main effect table 3) in the table SM21ta, the display update timing and the display update content are set, and the drawing display related information is temporarily stored. Temporarily stored in the means SM21b. Next, in step 2250, the figure display content determination means SM21n executes a notice effect / illustration stop symbol determination process, which will be described later. Next, in step 2218, the drawing display content determination means SM21n turns on the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 2300). Transition. Note that, also in the case of No in step 2202, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2300).

  Here, FIG. 21 (main effect table 1) is a drawing variation content determination lottery table SM21ta referred to in FIG. 20 (main effect table 1, particularly when the drawing variation mode is super reach). It is an example. As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, the main game symbol result (shown in the leftmost column, in this example, “losing” or “big hit”) and the variation pattern of the decorative symbol (left It is shown in the second column, and in this example, only “Super Reach (total production time 60 seconds)” is illustrated) and the acquired random value (the random value acquired on the sub-main board side, the left three columns) The main production contents (shown in the fourth column on the left) are shown in the figure. In this example, “main production A-1 (losing)”, “main production A-1 (big hit)”, etc. ) Is configured to be determinable. When the main effect content is determined, “display update timing” and “display update content” can be uniquely determined. For example, when the main effect content = “main effect A-1 (losing)”, “display update timing” = “at the start of change (after 0 seconds)”, “display update content” = “drawing change” “Start (all columns)” is determined, and “Display update timing” = “6 seconds after the start of change” is determined, “Display update content” = “Reach image display 1 (lost)”. Then, as will be described later, the “display update content” that has reached the “display update timing” is sequentially executed in accordance with the elapsed time related to the variation time of the decorative symbol. In addition, it is supplemented that the effect pattern (series of display contents) defined by “main effect A-1 (losing)” is different from the effect pattern defined by the name of other main effect contents. .

  Here, in the present embodiment, so-called quasi-continuous variation can be executed. Specifically, the main effect contents “main effect A-4 (losing) pseudo-continuation 2” and “main effect” in this example are configured. "A-4 (losing) pseudo-ream 3", "main effect A-4 (big hit) pseudo-ream 2", "main effect A-4 (big hit) pseudo-ream 3". For example, in the main effect content “main effect A-4 (losing) pseudo-continuation 2”, “display update timing” = “at the start of change (after 0 second)”, “display update content” = “start of drawing change ( “Display update timing” = “4 seconds after start of change”, “5 seconds after start of change”, “6 seconds after start of change” "Stop display (left column)", "draft temporary stop display (right column)", and "draft temporary stop display (middle column)" are sequentially executed. Then, after “display update content” = “restart drawing change (all columns)” is executed at “display update timing” = “7 seconds after change start”, “display update timing” = “change start 11” "After 2 seconds", "12 seconds after the start of change", and "13 seconds after the start of change", "display update content" = "display temporary stop display (left column)", "display temporary stop display (right column)", By sequentially executing the “design temporary stop display (middle row)”, it seems to the player that the symbol variation has occurred multiple times. This repetition is an effect technique called so-called pseudo-continuous variation. In the main effect content “main effect A-4 (losing) pseudo-continuation 2”, the pseudo-variation is continuously executed twice and then once more. As a result of this variation, it seems that a total of three symbol variations have occurred.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when each pseudo variation is executed, an effect that is executed in conjunction with the symbol variation and that is a notice effect indicating the degree of big hit expectation can be executed. For example, in the main effect content “main effect A-4 (losing) pseudo-continuation 2”, “display update content” = “display update timing” = “3 seconds after start of change” = “Preliminary effect 1-1” is executed, and “Display update timing” = “Preliminary effect 1-2” is executed when “Display update timing” = “10 seconds after start of change” at the second execution of pseudo-variation. It is comprised so that. In this variation, “display update content” = “notice effect 2” is executed at “display update timing” = “30 seconds after the start of variation”, and “display update timing” = “45 seconds after the start of variation” "Display update content" = "Preliminary effect 3" is executed. The details of the notice image displayed when each notice effect is executed will be described later. In this example, the display periods of the reach image displays 1 to 5 are configured to be different from each other, and the display contents of the reach image displays 1 to 5 are also configured to be different. It is not limited, and it may be configured such that part of the display contents of each of the reach image displays 1 to 5 is the same (for example, a part of the same reach such as so-called short reach, middle reach, long reach, etc.) Each of the display periods of the reach image displays 1 to 5 may be the same (in this case, 60 seconds instead of 60 seconds uniformly).

  Next, FIG. 22 (main effect table 2) is an example of a drawing variation content determination lottery table SM21ta (main effect table 2, particularly when the drawing variation mode is non-reach and the result is a loss). is there. The contents of the main effects in the main effect table 2 are composed of an aspect in which the decorative symbols in the middle row are fixedly displayed after being temporarily stopped and an aspect in which the pseudo continuous fluctuations are changed again after the temporary stop.

  Next, FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the notice effect / illustration stop symbol determination process according to the subroutine of step 2250 in FIG. First, in step 2252, the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b and determines whether or not the change is a change related to the trigger hold. In the case of Yes in step 2252, in step 2254, the notice effect display control means SM24 turns off the angel zone entry flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b. Next, in step 2260, the notice effect display control means SM24 determines the notice effect contents from “special notice effect candidates”. Here, the “special notice effect candidate” is a notice effect candidate to be referred to when determining the notice effect when the background effect is an “angel zone background” described later. Next, in step 2262, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 determines a stop symbol (temporary stop symbol) of the decorative symbol based on the information related to the stop symbol of the main game symbol, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2218). Transition.

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

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

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2256, in step 2270, the notice effect display control means SM24 determines whether or not the change preserving look-ahead group is group 3 {by this processing, B- illustrated in FIG. Variations that are not Group 3, such as 2 etc., were excluded from the lottery of the Angel Zone Transition Lottery, which will be described later, and did not win the prefetch lottery (prefetch lottery at the time of winning a prize, prefetch lottery at the time of change stop) ) Fluctuations related to group 3 suspension are subject to lottery in the Angel Zone Transition lottery to be described later}. In the case of Yes in step 2270, in step 2272, the notice effect display control means SM24 indicates that the change is a pseudo continuous change (a change in which the pseudo change is executed at least once. In this example, the change is illustrated in FIGS. 21 and 22. It is determined whether or not it is a change in which an effect such as A-4, A-5, B-2, etc.) is executed. In the case of Yes in step 2272, in step 2274, the notice effect display control means SM24 changes the angel zone background to the angel zone background lottery to win with a predetermined probability (1/10 in this example). Or lottery). Next, in step 2276, the notice effect display control means SM24 determines whether or not the angel zone transition lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2276, in step 2278, the notice effect display control means SM24 determines the contents of the notice effect from “normal notice effect candidate → special notice effect candidate after special symbol temporary stop timing” (for example, FIG. 21). In the case of A-4 and A-5, the content of the notice effect is determined from the “normal notice effect candidate” for 6 seconds from the start of the change, and after 6 seconds from the start of the change that becomes the first middle row temporary stop timing. The content of the notice effect is determined from “special notice effect candidates”). Next, in step 2280, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 informs the player that the temporary stop symbol of the first middle row of the main game symbol is “special symbol” (background effect is changed to the angel zone. (Decoration symbol) is determined, and other stop symbols (temporary stop symbol) of the decoration symbol are determined based on the information regarding the stop symbol of the main game symbol, and the process proceeds to the next processing (step 2218 processing). The temporary stop symbol is a temporary stop symbol of pseudo variation in pseudo continuous variation, and may be hereinafter referred to as a pseudo continuous symbol.

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

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

  In addition, as a method for determining the notice effect, after determining the basic notice effect (the notice effect that can be executed regardless of the background effect being executed, the effect that is executed in the first half of the fluctuation, etc.) Based on the determined basic notice effect, an effect that is not a notice effect such as a background effect is determined, the decided effect (notice effect, background effect, etc.) is executed, and then the determined basic May be configured to determine an effect that has not been determined among the notice effects based on a typical notice effect and an effect that is not a notice effect such as the determined background effect (the determination method is repeated a plurality of times, It may be configured to determine all the notice effects to be executed by the change). By configuring in this way, it is possible to determine the announcement effect executed by the change at a plurality of timings, and it is caused by determining all the announcement effects executed by the change at one timing. It is possible to alleviate production problems and the like.

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

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

  In addition, as shown in the lower part of the image diagram, in this example, when the normal background effect is executed as the background effect, if the winning look-ahead lottery is won while the decorative design is changing, it will stop when the change stops Lost symbols (breaks) stop as symbols. Thereafter, the next change is started, and the “special symbol” is stopped as a stop symbol of the change (that is, the change is a change before entering the pre-reading angel zone). Next, when the “special symbol” is stopped, the angel zone background effect is executed as the background effect from the next change (that is, the next change is the first change in the prefetch zone). Thus, in the present embodiment, the player can stop the “special symbol” by configuring the angel zone background effect to be triggered by the stop (or temporary stop) of the “special symbol”. By visually recognizing the temporary stop), it is possible to recognize the transition to the angel zone, and not only during the variable stop but also during the temporary stop during the change, the special symbol stop (or temporary stop) ) Can be expected.

  Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2300 in FIG. First, in step 2302, the decorative design display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the design display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the design content determination flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2302, in step 2304, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns off the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2306, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns on the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2309, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 starts the drawing variation time management timer SM21t, and proceeds to step 2310. In the case of No in step 2302, the process proceeds to step 2310.

  Next, in step 2310, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the symbol changing flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2310, in step 2311, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 confirms the timer value of the drawing variation time management timer SM21t. Next, in step 2312, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 determines the decorative symbol change start timing based on the drawing change time management timer SM21t and the change mode temporarily stored in the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. It is determined whether it has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2312, in step 2314, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets the decorative symbol variable display command (transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2600). Then, the process proceeds to Step 2330.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2312, in step 2316, the decoration symbol display control means SM21 decorates the decoration based on the drawing variation time management timer SM21t and the variation mode temporarily stored in the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. It is determined whether or not the symbol stop display timing (temporary stop display timing) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2316, in step 2318, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets a decorative symbol stop display command (temporary stop display command) (the sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2600). To be sent). Next, in step 2320, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 determines the stop timing of the “special symbol” based on the variation mode temporarily stored in the diagram variation time management timer SM21t and the variation mode temporarily stored in the diagram display related information temporary storage unit SM21b. It is determined whether or not (including temporary stop timing) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2320, in step 2322, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns on the angel zone flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and proceeds to step 2330. Note that even in the case of No in step 2320, the process proceeds to step 2330.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2316, in step 2324, the notice effect display control means SM24 (and reach effect display control means SM25), the drawing change time management timer SM21t and the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b (and reach effect). Based on the fluctuation mode temporarily stored in the related information temporary storage means SM25b), it is determined whether or not the display timing of the preview image and the reach image has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2324, in step 2326, the notice effect display control means SM24 (and the reach effect display control means SM25) set the image display command related to the notice image and the reach image (the display command transmission control process in step 2600). At step 2330, and the process proceeds to step 2330. Note that if the result in Step 2324 is No, the process proceeds to Step 2330.

  Next, in step 2330, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 determines whether or not the main game symbol is stopped and displayed (for example, referring to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, the main game board from the main control board M side). It is determined whether or not information indicating that the symbol is stopped and displayed has been received). In the case of Yes in step 2330, in step 2350, a variation prefetch determination process described later is executed. Next, in step 2336, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets a decorative symbol stop display command (determined display command) (transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2600). . Next, in step 2338, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 stops and resets (zero clears) the drawing variation time management timer SM21t. Next, in step 2340, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns off the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and proceeds to the next processing (processing of step 2400). To do. Note that if the answer is No in Step 2310 or Step 2330, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in Step 2400).

  In the present embodiment, the sub-main control unit SM is configured to manage the timing related to the decorative symbol variation display, the execution timing of the background effect, and the like using the drawing variation time management timer SM21t. The management method such as the timing related to the fluctuation of the image and the execution timing of the background effect is not limited to this. In the decorative symbol display content determination process in step 2200, the temporary stop timing of the decorative symbol, the preview image / reach image display timing, The contents such as the background effect display timing (background effect display switching timing) are all determined and transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS, and the sub-sub control unit SS executes the effect at any time according to the received content (display) ).

  Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of the change stop prefetch determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2350 in FIG. This process will be described in two parts: a process related to the prohibition condition of the pre-read lottery and a process related to the pre-read lottery. In the former prefetch lottery prohibition process, first, in step 2352, the hold prefetch effect execution possibility determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and whether there is a second main game hold in the hold. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2352, in step 2353, the hold prefetch effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not the current gaming state is not the time reduction gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2353, in step 2354, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and determines whether there is no trigger hold during the hold. If Yes in step 2354, the process proceeds to step 2358. If step 2352, step 2353, or step 2354 is No, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2336).

  Next, in the processing relating to the latter, the prefetching lottery first, in step 2358, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and excludes the hold related to the next change in the hold. It is determined whether there is a hold whose hold prefetch group is group 3 in the hold. In the present embodiment, when the change stop pre-fetch lottery is won, the stop symbol of the next change becomes a “special symbol”, and when the “special symbol” is stopped, the “angel zone effect” is set as a background effect. Since it is configured to be executed, if the hold related to the next change in the hold becomes the trigger hold, the execution time of the “angel zone effect” cannot be secured, so the hold related to the next change in the hold cannot be secured. Excluded holds are subject to pre-draw lottery at the time of variable stop. In the case of Yes in step 2358, the hold prefetching effect execution control means SM26 has a predetermined probability (1/20 in this example) as the earliest hold among the hold of the group 3 in the hold excluding the hold related to the next change. Execute the pre-read lottery at the time of variable stop to win. Next, in step 2362, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 determines whether or not the prefetch lottery is won when the change is stopped. In the case of Yes in step 2362, in step 2364, the hold pre-reading effect execution control means SM26 is set to “trigger hold” for the hold that won the change stop pre-read lottery stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Information to that effect is added, and the processing proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 2336). It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 2358 or step 2362, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2336).

  Next, FIG. 26 is a flowchart of the special game related display control process according to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. First, in step 2402, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b and determines whether or not the special game flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 2402, in step 2404, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not a special game start display instruction command has been received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2404, in step 2406 and step 2408, the background effect display control means SM23 turns on the special gaming flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and the effect display device. A big hit start display is performed on the SG (appropriate display is performed based on the type of the big hit), and the process proceeds to step 2412. Note that if the result in Step 2402 is No, the process proceeds to Step 2412.

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

  Next, in step 2413, the background effect display control means SM23 sets a command for displaying the effect related to the special game being executed based on the game state at the time of winning the big hit being won and the big hit symbol being stopped ( (For example, in the case of a special game related to the latent probability variation big hit symbol, the display command transmission control process of step 2600 is to be transferred to the probability variable gaming state after the special game is finished.) An effect that the player cannot recognize is executed). Next, in step 2414, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not a special game end display instruction command has been received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2414, in step 2416, the background effect display control means SM23 performs jackpot end display on the effect display device SG (performs display appropriately based on the type of jackpot). Next, in step 2418, the background effect display control means SM23 turns off the special gaming flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2500). . Note that if the answer is No in step 2404 or step 2414, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 2500).

  Next, FIG. 27 is a flowchart of the background effect control process according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. First, in step 2502, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the angel zone flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2502, in step 2504, the background effect display control means SM23 sets “angel zone background” as the background effect, and proceeds to step 2506. Next, in step 2506, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b, and changes (or changes related to suspension) that triggered the transition of the “angel zone” {“angel zone” It is determined whether the change (or the change related to the hold) of the change trigger is the change related to the hold of the trigger or the change of the change angel zone change}. In the case of Yes in step 2506, in step 2508, the background effect display control means SM23 turns off the angel zone flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2509, the background effect display control means SM23 sets a predetermined background effect (for example, sets the background effect set before the “angel zone background” is set), and proceeds to step 2520. To do.

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

  Next, in step 2520, the background effect display control means SM23 sets a command for displaying the set background effect on the effect display device SG (in the display command transmission control process of step 2600, the sub-sub control unit SS side). Is transmitted), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2600).

  By configuring as described above, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when the hold that becomes a variation mode with high expectation degree of jackpot wins either a winning look-ahead lottery or a pre-drawing lottery when a change is stopped, While the “special symbol” is stopped due to fluctuations immediately after winning, the “angel zone background” is displayed as a background effect that suggests that the expectation level of jackpot is high when the “special symbol” is stopped. Even if the prefetch lottery at the time of occurrence is not won, the `` special symbol '' can be stopped as a temporary stop symbol during quasi-continuous fluctuation at the time of fluctuation that becomes a fluctuation mode with high expectation of jackpot When the angel zone background is displayed as a background effect, the player can change the symbol even if the angel zone background is not displayed due to the hold-ahead. To become a pseudo-continuous change can have expectations to migrate to the "angel zone", so that the interest of the game is increased.

  In this embodiment, as a prohibition condition of the pre-read lottery (pre-fetch lottery at the time of winning a prize, pre-read lottery at the time of change stop), there is a second main game hold in the hold, the time-saving game state, the hold in the hold There is a hold whose pre-reading group is group 3 (excluding a newly generated hold), there is a hold with information indicating that it is a trigger hold in the hold, and there is a hold that becomes a big hit in the hold (new Etc.), but the prohibition condition of the prefetch lottery is not limited to this. For example, a main game in which a predetermined background effect is being executed, which is a probability variation gaming state For example, the number of holdings may be equal to or less than a predetermined number, a predetermined reach effect may be performed, and the like.

  In this embodiment, when winning the pre-read lottery at the time of winning, the special symbol is stopped and displayed at the stop of the next fluctuation of the winning timing. The special symbol may be displayed in a stopped state when the change that is changing at the same timing is stopped. Further, the change stop prefetch lottery is configured not to be executed for the hold related to the next change, but may be configured to be executed. In such a configuration, the pre-read lottery at the time of suspension for the suspension related to the next change is configured to be executed only when the next change is a change in which a pseudo continuous change is executed, and the pre-read lottery is won. In such a case, it is desirable that the special symbol be temporarily stopped at the time of the temporary stop of the next change, and that the temporary stop is used as a trigger to shift to the “angel zone”.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the lottery timing of the look-ahead lottery includes the winning timing of the game ball at the main game start port (first main game start port A10), the main game symbol variation stop timing (decorative symbol variation stop timing). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is not limited to this, a predetermined timing during the change of the main game symbol (a predetermined timing during the change of the decoration symbol), a change start timing of the main game symbol (a change start timing of the decoration symbol), Etc. By configuring in this way, if a pre-read lottery is executed for the hold related to the next change and the pre-read lottery is won, the stop pattern of the change (change starting change or change in the middle of change) As a special design can be stopped.

  In the present embodiment, the special symbol can be temporarily stopped at the first temporary stop in the pseudo continuous fluctuation. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the special symbol is not displayed at the second or subsequent temporary stop. It may be configured so that it can be temporarily stopped. In such a case, the case where the special symbol is temporarily stopped at the second temporary stop is better than the case where the special symbol is temporarily stopped at the first temporary stop. In addition, the degree of expectation that the fluctuation becomes a big hit (the stop symbol of the fluctuation becomes a big hit symbol) may be configured to be high.

(Second Embodiment)
Here, in the present embodiment, it is configured to be able to execute the pre-read zone effect as an effect suggesting the presence of the hold that is a variation mode with a high expectation level that is a big hit, but for the execution form of the pre-read zone effect, The present invention is not limited to this, and the pre-read zone effect is also executed for the hold that becomes a variation mode with a low expectation level, which is a big hit, thereby improving the interest of the game with an effect different from the pre-read zone effect in the present embodiment. It is possible to make it. Therefore, an example of such a configuration is referred to as a second embodiment, and only differences from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 28 is an example of the variation mode determination lottery table (main game table 3) referred to in FIG. 10 in the second embodiment. First, the difference from the present embodiment is the fluctuation mode determination table on the first main game side (non-time-reduced gaming state), and the purpose thereof is to change the big hit based on the big hit symbol. The selection mode is different, and a specific variation mode is provided for a variation that causes a loss. That is, in the second embodiment, when the change (the change on the first main game side in the non-time-reduced game state) is to be a big hit with the big hit symbol “7A”, the first main game change mode The determining unit MN51-A refers to the table for the jackpot symbol “7A” to determine the variation mode. On the other hand, when the big hit is scheduled for the “4A” and “5A” symbols, the first main game variation mode determining means MN51-A refers to the table for the big hit symbol “4A · 5A” and changes the variation mode. decide.

  Here, as shown in the figure, for the table for the big hit symbol “4A / 5A”, only one type of fluctuation mode (the first half of the battle reach → the special breakage stop, the fluctuation of 30 seconds) is selected. (In the special game related to the jackpot symbol “4A / 5A”, the winning prize opening is only opened for a very short time, and if the player is informed that it is a big hit by displaying a doublet, To prevent feeling lost). In other words, in the big hit (big hit related to 4A, 5A) fluctuation that shifts to the latent state (the state in which the gaming state is not notified and shifts after hitting 4A or 5A), only the fluctuation mode can be selected. It is.

  In addition, in the case of the change (in the non-time-reduced game state, the first main game side), when the game is scheduled to be lost, the change mode KJ (18-second change in which the giant tempering effect is changed to the stop of the lost game) It is configured to be selectable. Note that processing on the sub-main control unit SM side when the variation mode is selected will be described later, but for the sub-main control unit SM side, as the information on the hold, the hold prefetch group “group 4” The information to the effect is to be transmitted.

  Next, FIG. 29 is a flowchart of a winning prefetch determination process according to the subroutine of step 2150 in FIG. 18 in the second embodiment. First, the difference from the present embodiment is about step 2180 (second), and the purpose is to be configured so that the winning giant zone transition determination process can be executed. That is, in the case of No in step 2162 or step 2166 (when a trigger hold related to the angel zone in the present embodiment has not occurred in a situation where the prefetch lottery can be executed), in step 2180 (second), the hold prefetch effect The execution control means SM26 executes a winning giant zone transition determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2118).

  Next, FIG. 30 is a flowchart of the winning giant zone transition determination process according to the subroutine of step 2180 (second) in FIG. 29 in the second embodiment. First, in step 2182, the hold pre-reading effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the new hold hold pre-reading group is the group 4 hold (a variation that executes the KJ template play effect). It is determined whether or not it is a hold according to the aspect. If Yes in step 2182, the process proceeds to step 2190.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2182, in step 2184, the hold pre-reading effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the new hold hold pre-read group is group 3 (for example, battle It is determined whether or not the first half of the reach is a hold-ahead read-ahead group that is a variation mode in which the production of the second half is executed. Here, in this process, the prize-winning giant zone shift lottery is performed for the holding of the group 3 that has not won the winning-ahead look-ahead lottery (the lottery executed in step 2164) related to the “angel zone” described above. It is configured to be executable. In the case of Yes in step 2184, in step 2186, the holding prefetch effect execution availability determination means SM26k executes a winning giant zone transition lottery to win with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/20). Next, at step 2188, the hold prefetch effect execution possibility determination means SM26k refers to the result of the winning giant zone transition lottery at step 2186, and determines whether or not the winning giant zone transition lottery has been won. If Yes in step 2188, the process proceeds to step 2190. If No in step 2184 (that is, if the new hold is a hold of group 1 or 2), or if No in 2188, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 2118).

  Next, in step 2190, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 is “giant trigger hold” (trigger hold) in the information related to the new hold stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. The information to the effect is added and temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Next, in step 2192, the reservation prefetch effect execution control means SM26 turns on the giant zone transition reservation flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2118). Transition. By configuring in this way, a “giant zone effect” described later can be executed as a background effect at the time of occurrence of the hold related to the group 4 or a part of the occurrence of the hold related to the group 3. In addition, in this example, the transition lottery to the Emperor zone is executed first, and the lottery for whether or not the giant trigger hold is executed for the hold that is not the trigger hold related to the Emperor zone, The method of executing the two types of zone production transition lottery (the lottery of whether or not the trigger is on hold) is not limited to this. For example, for a hold scheduled to execute a certain production (for example, a story production) Only a lottery to determine whether or not to be a trigger hold related to the Emperor Zone, only to a lottery to determine whether or not to be a trigger hold related to the Giant Zone for a hold scheduled to perform another effect (for example, a battle effect) You may comprise so that it may perform. Further, these determinations (lottery) may be configured so as to be able to be determined by a table whose components are an effect (fluctuation mode) scheduled to be executed, a gaming state, a success / failure, a stop symbol, an appropriate random number, and the like. .

  Next, FIG. 31 is a flowchart of the notice effect / illustration stop symbol determination process according to the subroutine of step 2250 in FIG. 23 in the second embodiment. First, the difference from the present embodiment is about steps 2285 (second) to 2298 (second), and the purpose thereof is not only at the time of the occurrence of the hold but also at the start of the change from the start of the change to the background. As an effect, the “giant zone effect” described later is configured to be executed. That is, in the case of No in step 2256, in step 2285 (second), the hold pre-reading effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the change is related to the giant trigger hold. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2285 (second), the process proceeds to step 2298 (second).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in 2285 (second), in step 2286 (second), the hold pre-reading effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and there is a giant trigger hold in the hold. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2286 (second), the process proceeds to step 2270. On the other hand, if the answer is No in step 2286 (second) (if there is a giant trigger hold in the hold), the process proceeds to step 2298 (second).

  In addition, in the case of No in step 2270, step 2272, or step 2276 (when the change is not a change related to the prefetching effect and the “angel zone effect” is not executed in the change), in step 2288 (second), the hold prefetching The effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and determines whether or not the change hold prefetch group is the group 4. In the case of Yes in step 2288, in step 2296 (second), the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 turns on the giant zone flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and step 2298 (first Move to 2).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2288 (second), in step 2290 (second), the hold pre-reading effect execution availability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and the hold pre-read group of the change is determined. It is determined whether it is group 2 or 3. In the case of Yes in step 2290 (second), in step 2292 (second), the pending pre-reading effect execution availability determination means SM26k executes a giant zone transition lottery to win with a predetermined probability (for example, as a background effect, the current set (If the stage is a flat stage, 1/20, the space stage will be 1/15, and the volcano stage will be 1/10). Next, in step 2294 (second), the hold prefetch effect execution availability determination means SM26k determines whether or not the giant zone shift lottery was not won. If YES in step 2294 (second), the flow advances to step 2282. On the other hand, if No in step 2294 (second), the process proceeds to step 2296 (second), the giant zone flag is turned on, and the process proceeds to step 2298 (second). In the case of No in step 2290 (second), the process proceeds to step 2282.

  Next, in step 2298 (second), the drawing suspension information display control means SM22 determines the notice effect content from “giant zone notice effect candidate”, and proceeds to step 2284. In addition to the holding of the groups 4 and 3 that did not become the giant trigger holding due to the prohibition condition or the like when the holding occurs (during winning), the process executes the holding of the group 2 (for example, the first half of the battle reach) This is also executed for the hold according to the variation mode. That is, in the giant zone transition determination at the time of winning a prize, the “giant zone production” is not executed due to the suspension related to the variation mode of the group 2, while in the giant zone transition determination at the start of the variation, the variation mode of the group 2 is performed. The “giant zone production” can be executed due to the fluctuation.

  Here, in the second embodiment, since it is configured that the variation mode of group 2 is selected in the variation that is a big hit in jackpot symbols “4A” and “5A”, the occurrence of the giant trigger suspension (group If the “giant zone production” is executed during a plurality of changes due to the change in the variation mode of 4 or group 3), the big hit symbol “4A” “5A” "Is not a big hit with" "(is a big hit with lose or jackpot symbol" 7A "). On the other hand, when the execution of the “giant zone production” is determined at the start of the change (when a tempering production effect described later is executed during the change to the giant zone), the big hit symbol “4A” “ 5A "may become a big hit (latent big hit). As a result, even when the same giant zone effect is being executed, different predictions can be made for the game result depending on the execution mode, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Next, FIG. 32 is a flowchart of the background effect control process according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. 27 in the second embodiment. First, the difference from this embodiment is about steps 2530 (second) to 2544 (second). The purpose is to determine the execution of the giant zone effect by the above-described processing. It is configured so that it can be displayed. That is, in the case of No in step 2502 (when the angel zone flag is off), in step 2530 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, It is determined whether or not the giant zone flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2530 (second), the process proceeds to step 2538 (second). Note that if the answer is No in step 2530 (second), the process proceeds to step 2512.

  In the case of Yes in step 2512 (when it is a decorative pattern change start timing), in step 2532 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b. Then, it is determined whether or not the giant zone transition reservation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2532 (second), in step 2534 (second) and 2536 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 is in the giant zone in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b. The transition reservation flag is turned off, and the giant zone flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b is turned on, and the process proceeds to step 2538 (second). Note that if the answer is No in step 2532 (second), the process proceeds to step 2514.

  Next, in step 2538 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 sets “giant zone background” as the background effect (temporarily stored in the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b). Next, in step 2540 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b (or the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b) and Change (for example, when changing to the “Giant Zone” at the start of the change, this change) or the hold that triggered the transfer to the “Giant Zone” (eg, when a hold occurs, it is decided to move to the Giant Zone) If so, it is determined whether or not the change related to the trigger suspension has been completed. In the case of Yes in step 2540 (second), in step 2542 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 turns off the giant zone flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b ( The execution of “Giant Zone Production” ends.) Next, in step 2544 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 sets a predetermined background effect (for example, sets the background effect that was set before the “giant zone background” was set), Control goes to step 2520. Note that if the answer is No in step 2540 (second), the process proceeds to step 2520. Here, in this example, a lottery is executed to determine whether or not to execute the “giant zone production” at the start of the change related to the change mode (for example, the change mode of the groups 2 and 3) that can be transferred to the “giant zone”. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the stage transition lottery (for example, the variation mode (for example, the variation mode of groups 2 and 3) that can be shifted to the “giant zone”) For example, when winning in the process of step 2514, it may be configured to shift to the “giant zone”. Also in this case, the transition probability to the “giant zone” may be different depending on the stage currently set as the background effect. Furthermore, the big hit expectation degree in the “giant zone production” may be different depending on which stage (for example, the flat ground stage, the space stage, the volcano stage) has shifted to the “giant zone” {for example, When moving from the flat ground stage to the “Giant Zone”, the production often ends in the first half of the battle (the expectation of hitting the jackpot is low), and when moving from the volcanic stage to the “Giant Zone” Are often developed until the second half of the battle (the expectation of big hits in the change is high), etc.}.

  Next, FIG. 33 is an example of a giant zone effect image and a main effect table in the second embodiment. First, an image diagram of a giant zone effect will be described. First, a background image as shown in the figure is displayed, and fluctuation starts. In addition, when shifting to the “Giant Zone”, the change that triggered the transition to the “Giant Zone” (for example, the change when shifting to the “Giant Zone” at the start of the change) or the “Giant Zone” The background image is displayed for the period up to the end of the change related to the hold that triggered the transition (for example, if it is decided to move to the “Giant Zone” when the hold occurs) It becomes.

  Next, the change that triggered the transition to the “Giant Zone” (for example, the change when transitioning to the “Giant Zone” at the start of the change) or the hold that triggered the transition to the “Giant Zone” (For example, when it is decided to shift to the “giant zone” when a hold occurs, the trigger hold), the production stage proceeds, and a decorative symbol (in this example, “ 6 ”symbol) is temporarily stopped.

  Next, the stage of the stage progresses, and the same decorative symbol (in this example, “6” symbol in the example) as the left column is displayed on the right column as a temporary stop (tempered) or not. The semi-transparent “6” symbol is displayed in the right column, and the effect of gradually approaching the face of the giant and creating an expression that is likely to occur is executed. Thereafter, the effects are branched between the case where the change is a change related to the change mode of the group 4 and the case where the change is a change related to the change mode of the groups 2 and 3 (for example, the change mode which becomes battle reach).

  Next, when the change is a change related to the change mode of the group 4, after execution of the tempering effect, the decorative symbol is not tempered (in this example, “6” symbol is not temporarily stopped) and the tempering effect is It ends (in this example, the giant's facial expression returns to its original state), and the loose eyes are stopped and displayed.

  On the other hand, when the change is a change related to the change mode (for example, battle reach) of the groups 2 and 3, after execution of the tempering effect, the effect stage proceeds and the same decorative pattern as the left column is displayed on the right column (this example) Then, “6” symbol) is temporarily stopped and displayed, and the game goes to battle reach production.

  Next, the main effect table in the lower part of FIG. In the second embodiment, the giant zone effect can be executed at the time of the change related to the change mode of the group 4, the change related to the change mode of the group 3, and the change related to the change mode of the group 2. In particular, when performing a giant zone effect, as shown in the lower part of the figure, each effect is configured to be able to execute a common effect until the middle of the change {the contents of the notice effect In the case of determining from “Giant zone notice effect candidates”, the effect shown in the upper image diagram (and other notice effects not shown) is selected (particularly, notice effect 6 is a tempered effect)} . Although not specifically shown, when the giant zone effect cannot be executed in the variation related to the variation mode of the group 4 due to prohibition or the like, the effect with a low degree of expectation (for example, when the design starts to change, it is particularly noticeable) The effect of stopping the design without notice) is executed.

  With the configuration as described above, according to the gaming machine according to the second embodiment, even if there is a change in the low expectation level that is scheduled to be lost, the pending content that becomes the change in the low expectation degree is determined in advance. Then, the zone effect (the effect that the background image becomes an image different from the normal time during a plurality of variations) can be executed. As a result, the performance with high interest is executed even though the level of expectation is low, and the game is executed without increasing the execution frequency of the production with high expectation and high interest (that is, the expectation level of the production is lowered). It is possible to execute a game (production) that does not get the person bored.

  In this example, after the probability variation non-temporal hit and non-probability non-temporal hit, the transition to the latent state (the state in which the gaming state is not notified to the player), but is not limited to this, for example, A small hit that does not shift the gaming state can be executed, and by making the big winning opening opening and closing mode and the execution effect to be executed the same (or substantially the same) for the small change and the probability variation non-short-time big hit, the effect is about the small hit It may be configured to make it difficult to determine whether it has been made or whether it has been made with respect to a probabilistic non-time-lapse hit and create a latent state.

  Further, although not particularly illustrated in this example, even if the fluctuation is longer than a predetermined fluctuation time (for example, group 3 fluctuation), the fluctuation is a specific effect (for example, a highly anticipated live-action reach effect or all In the case of the fluctuation for executing the rotation reach effect), the giant zone effect may not be executed.
