In addition, the first special symbol display 8a and the second special symbol display 8b each variably display a number (or a two-digit symbol) of 00 to 99 using, for example, two 7-segment LEDs. It may be configured.

  Hereinafter, the first special symbol and the second special symbol may be collectively referred to as a special symbol, and the first special symbol indicator 8a and the second special symbol indicator 8b may be collectively referred to as a special symbol indicator.

  The variation display of the first special symbol is a variation display start condition (for example, after the first starting condition which is the execution condition of the variation display is satisfied (for example, that the game ball has won the first start winning opening 13) (for example, When the number of reserved memories is not 0, the first special symbol variation display is not executed and the big hit game is not executed), and the variation display is started. When time (fluctuation time) elapses, a display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed. In addition, the variation display of the second special symbol is a variation display start condition (for example, when the game ball has won the second start winning opening 14) after the second start condition, which is the execution condition of the variation display, is established ( For example, when the number of reserved memories is not 0, the second special symbol variation display is not executed, and the jackpot game is not executed) is started based on the establishment, When the fluctuation display time (fluctuation time) elapses, a display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed. Note that winning means that a game ball has entered a predetermined area such as a winning opening. Deriving and displaying the display result is to finally stop and display a symbol (an example of identification information).

  The effect display device 9 is for decoration (effect) during the variable display time of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8a and during the variable display time of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 8b. The display of the effect symbol (also referred to as the effect symbol) is performed as a symbol of The change display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8a and the change display of the effect symbol on the effect display device 9 are synchronized. Further, the variation display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 8b and the variation display of the effect symbol on the effect display device 9 are synchronized. Synchronous means that the start point and end point of variable display are substantially the same (may be exactly the same) and the period of variable display is substantially the same (may be exactly the same). Further, when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a and when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display 8b, the effect display device 9 reminds the jackpot The combination of is stopped and displayed.

The first start winning opening 13 is provided directly under the effect display device 9, but the interval between the lower end of the effect display device 9 and the first start winning opening 13 is further reduced, or the first start winning opening is set. The winning percentage of the second starting prize opening 14 is such that the nails are densely arranged around 13 or the nail arrangement around the first starting prize opening 13 is difficult to guide the game ball to the first starting prize opening 13. This may be made higher than the winning rate of the first start winning opening 13.

  On the upper part of the second special symbol display 8b, the number of valid winning balls that have entered the first start winning opening 13, that is, the first reserved memory number (the stored memory is also referred to as the start memory or the start prize memory) is displayed. A special symbol reserved memory display unit and the first special symbol reserved memory display unit are provided separately from each other, and a second special symbol for displaying the number of effective winning balls that have entered the second start winning opening 14, that is, the second reserved memory number. For example, a special symbol hold memory display 18 composed of a 7-segment LED provided with a hold memory display section is provided. The first special symbol reserved memory display unit displays up to four first reserved memory numbers in the order of winning, and increases the number of indicators that are turned on by 1 each time there is an effective start winning. Then, each time the variable display on the first special symbol display 8a is started, the number of indicators to be turned on is reduced by one. The second special symbol reserved memory display unit displays up to four second reserved memory numbers in the order of winning, and increases the number of indicators that are turned on by 1 each time there is an effective start winning. And whenever the fluctuation | variation display by the 2nd special symbol display 8b is started, the number of the indicators to light is reduced by one. In this example, the upper limit number (up to 4) is provided for the start memory number by winning to the first start winning port 13 and the start memory number by winning to the second start winning port 14. May be four or more.

  Further, the display screen of the effect display device 9 is provided with a first reserved memory display unit 18c for displaying the first reserved memory number and a second reserved memory display unit 18d for displaying the second reserved memory number. . In addition, you may make it provide the area | region (sum total pending | holding memory display part) which displays the total number (sum total pending memory count) which is the sum total of the 1st pending memory count and the 2nd pending memory count. As described above, if the summation pending storage display unit for displaying the total number is provided, it is possible to easily grasp the total number of execution conditions that have not met the variable display start condition.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, there is provided a variable winning ball device 15 that opens and closes only the second starting winning opening 14, but the first starting winning opening 13 and the second starting winning opening 13 are provided. Any of the winning openings 14 may be provided with a variable winning ball apparatus that opens and closes.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a special variable winning ball device 20 is provided below the variable winning ball device 15. The special variable winning ball apparatus 20 includes a big prize opening door, and when a specific display result (big hit symbol) is derived and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a, and on the second special symbol display 8b, a specific display result (big hit) In the specific game state (big win game state) that occurs when the symbol is derived and displayed, the solenoid 21 controls the open door of the big winning opening, so that the big winning opening that becomes the winning area is opened. A game ball that has won a big winning opening is detected by a count switch 23 (for example, a proximity switch) and a third winning confirmation switch 23a (for example, a photo sensor).

  Based on the detection of game balls by the count switch 23, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. Thus, when the game ball passes (enters) through the large winning opening that has been opened in the special variable winning ball apparatus 20, for example, other winning openings such as the first starting winning opening 13 and the second starting winning opening 14 are played. More prize balls are paid out than when the ball passes (enters). Therefore, if the special prize winning ball device 20 is in the open state in the special variable winning ball apparatus 20, the first state advantageous to the player is obtained. On the other hand, if the special prize winning device 20 is closed in the special variable prize winning ball device 20, the game ball cannot be passed through (entered) into the special prize opening to obtain a prize ball, which is disadvantageous for the player. It becomes a state.

  The normal symbol display 10 is provided on the right side of the first special symbol display 8a. The normal symbol display 10 is composed of, for example, two lamps. When the game ball passes through the gate 32 and is detected by the gate switch 32a, the display variation of the normal symbol display 10 is started. In this embodiment, the upper and lower lamps (the symbols can be visually recognized at the time of lighting) are alternately turned on to perform the variable display. For example, if the lower lamp is turned on at the end of the variable display, it is a hit. When the lamp on the lower side of the normal symbol display 10 is turned on and it is a win, the variable winning ball device 15 is opened for a predetermined number of times. That is, the state of the variable winning ball device 15 is a state that is advantageous from a disadvantageous state for the player when the lower lamp is turned on (a state in which a game ball can win a prize at the second start winning opening 14). ). An upper part of the special symbol storage memory display 18 is provided with a normal symbol storage memory display 41 having four display portions (for example, four segments among seven segment LEDs) for displaying the number of winning balls that have passed through the gate 32. It has been. Each time there is a game ball passing through the gate 32, that is, every time a game ball is detected by the gate switch 32a, the normal symbol storage memory display 41 increases the number of display units to be turned on by one. Then, each time the variable display on the normal symbol display 10 is started, the number of display units that are lit is reduced by one.

  In addition, the normal symbol holding memory display 41 composed of 7-segment LEDs has four display units (segments) for displaying the number of winning balls that have passed through the gate 32 and, for example, the number of times the special variable winning ball device 20 is opened at the time of a big hit. There are two display units (segments) that indicate (the number of big hits) and two display units (segments) that indicate the gaming state, but these display units are separate from the normal symbol hold storage display unit. You may comprise. Further, the normal symbol display 10 may be configured by segment LEDs or the like capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information (for example, “◯” and “x”) called normal symbols.

  In the vicinity of the special variable winning ball apparatus 20, winning holes 29a to 29d of the normal winning apparatus are provided, and the game balls that have won the winning holes 29a and 29c are detected by the winning hole switch 30a and won in the winning holes 29b and 29d. The game ball is detected by the winning opening switch 30b. Each of the winning holes 29a to 29d constitutes a winning area provided in the game board 6 as an area for accepting game balls and allowing winning. The first start winning opening 13, the second starting winning opening 14, and the big winning opening also constitute a winning area that accepts game balls and allows winning.

  In the first start winning opening 13, there are provided two switches (a first start opening switch 13a and a first winning confirmation switch 13b) capable of detecting a game ball won in the start winning opening. In this embodiment, a first start opening switch 13a and a first winning confirmation switch 13b are arranged up and down in the first start winning opening 13 (in this example, the first start opening switch 13a is arranged on the upper side. The first winning confirmation switch 13b is arranged on the lower side). Therefore, in this embodiment, the game ball won in the first start winning opening 13 is guided to the back of the game board 6, first detected by the first start opening switch 13a, and then detected by the first winning confirmation switch 13b. Is done.

  Further, in the second start winning opening 14, there are provided two switches (a second start opening switch 14a and a second winning confirmation switch 14b) capable of detecting a game ball won in the start winning opening. In this embodiment, the second start opening switch 14a and the second winning confirmation switch 14b are arranged vertically in the second start winning opening 14 (in this example, the second start opening switch 14a is arranged on the upper side. The second winning confirmation switch 14b is arranged on the lower side). Therefore, in this embodiment, the game ball won in the second start winning opening 14 is guided to the back of the game board 6, first detected by the second start opening switch 14a, and then detected by the second winning confirmation switch 14b. Is done.

  Further, two switches (a count switch 23 and a third winning confirmation switch 23a) capable of detecting a game ball won in the special winning opening are provided in the special winning opening. In this embodiment, the count switch 23 and the third winning confirmation switch 23a are arranged in the big winning opening (in this example, the counting switch 23 is arranged on the upper side and the third winning confirmation switch 23a is on the lower side. Is placed). Therefore, in this embodiment, the game ball won in the special winning opening is guided to the back of the game board 6 and is first detected by the count switch 23 and then detected by the third winning confirmation switch 23a.

  Also, different detection system switches are used as the first start opening switch 13a and the first winning confirmation switch 13b, the second starting opening switch 14a and the second winning confirmation switch 14b, the count switch 23 and the third winning confirmation switch 23a. It is done. In this embodiment, proximity switches are used as the first start opening switch 13a, the second start opening switch 14a, and the count switch 23, and the first winning confirmation switch 13b, the second winning confirmation switch 14b, and the third winning confirmation switch 23a are photo. A sensor is used.

  Further, based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port switch 13a, the first special symbol variation display is started and the prize ball payout is executed. Further, based on the fact that the game ball is detected by the second start port switch 14a, the display of the variation of the second special symbol is started and the prize ball payout is executed. Further, based on the detection of the game ball by the first count switch 23 or the second count switch 24, a prize ball payout is executed. In addition to the detection result of the first start port switch 13a, whether or not an abnormal winning has occurred is determined based on the detection result of the first winning confirmation switch 13b, and a security signal is generated based on the detection of the abnormal winning. Output externally. The presence or absence of an abnormal winning is determined based on the detection result of the second winning confirmation switch 14b in addition to the detection result of the second start port switch 14a, and the security signal is generated based on the detection of the abnormal winning. Output externally. In addition to the detection result of the count switch 23, whether or not an abnormal winning has occurred is determined based on the detection result of the third winning confirmation switch 23a, and a security signal is externally output based on the detection of the abnormal winning. The Accordingly, the first winning confirmation switch 13b, the second winning confirmation switch 14b, and the third winning confirmation switch 23a are used only for determination of abnormal winning.

  Then, the game control microcomputer 560 has a first start port switch based on the detection signal input from the first start port switch 13a (proximity switch) and the detection signal input from the first winning confirmation switch 13b (photo sensor). When it is determined that the difference between the number of game balls detected at 13a and the number of game balls detected by the first winning confirmation switch 13b exceeds a predetermined threshold (in this example, 15 or more) As an error, it is determined that an abnormal winning to the first start winning opening 13 has occurred. The game detected by the second start port switch 14a based on the detection signal input from the second start port switch 14a (proximity switch) and the detection signal input from the second winning confirmation switch 14b (photo sensor). If it is determined that the difference between the number of balls and the number of game balls detected by the second winning confirmation switch 14b exceeds a predetermined threshold (in this example, 15 or more), a second error is generated as a predetermined error. It is determined that an abnormal winning to the winning opening 14 has occurred. In addition, based on the detection signal input from the count switch 23 (proximity switch) and the detection signal input from the third winning confirmation switch 23a (photo sensor), the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23 and the third winning prize are determined. If it is determined that the difference from the number of game balls detected by the confirmation switch 23a exceeds a predetermined threshold (in this example, 5 or more), an abnormal winning at the big winning opening occurs as a predetermined error. It is determined that

  In this way, the first start opening switch 13a and the first winning confirmation switch 13b, the second starting opening switch 14a and the second winning confirmation switch 14b, the count switch 23 and the third winning confirmation switch 23a are of different detection methods. Since the sensor (in this example, a proximity switch and a photo sensor) is used, the actual number of winnings to the first starting winning port 13, the second starting winning port 14, and the big winning port using, for example, electromagnetic waves is actually increased. When an illegal act that causes recognition to be greater than the number of winnings is made, there is a difference between the number of game balls detected by the proximity switch and the number of game balls detected by the photo switch, thereby controlling the game. Since the microcomputer 560 determines that an abnormal winning has occurred when the number of difference balls exceeds a predetermined threshold, it is possible to take a certain measure against illegal acts.

  The game area 7 is provided with decorative members 25L and 25R having a plurality of decorative LEDs 25a and 25b that emit light according to the gaming state, and at the bottom is an out port 26 for collecting the game balls that have not won.

Four speakers 27 that emit sound effects are provided on the left, right, top, and bottom of the outside of the game area 7. On the outer periphery of the game area 7, a top lamp module 530 in which various LEDs such as a rotating body LED are incorporated, a left light emitting unit 28L in which a left frame LED 28b (see FIG. 3) is incorporated, and a right frame LED 28c (see FIG. 3). ) Is built in. Further, a decoration LED is installed around each structure (such as a big prize opening) in the game area 7. The LED for the rotating body, the left frame LED 28b, the right frame LED 28c, and the decoration LED are examples of the decoration light emitter provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  Although not shown in FIG. 2, a prize ball LED 51 that is turned on during the prize ball payout is provided in the vicinity of the left frame LED 28 b, and lights up in the vicinity of the top lamp module 530 when the supply ball is cut. A ball break LED 52 is provided. The prize ball LED 51 and the ball break LED 52 are controlled to be turned on by the effect control microcomputer 100 mounted on the effect control board when the prize ball is being paid out or when a ball break is detected. Further, although not shown in particular, a prepaid card unit (hereinafter referred to as “card unit”) 50 that enables lending a ball by inserting a prepaid card is installed adjacent to the pachinko gaming machine 1. .

  A game ball launched from the ball striking device by the player's operation enters the game area 7 through the hit ball rail, and then descends the game area 7. When the game ball enters the first start winning opening 13 and is detected by the first start opening switch 13a, if the variation display of the first special symbol can be started (for example, the variation display of the special symbol ends, 1), the first special symbol display unit 8a starts the variable display (variation) of the first special symbol, and the effect display device 9 starts the variable display of the effect symbol (effect symbol). Is done. That is, the change display of the first special symbol and the effect symbol corresponds to winning in the first start winning opening 13. If the variable display of the first special symbol cannot be started, the first reserved memory number is increased by 1 on condition that the first reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value.

  When the game ball enters the second start winning port 14 and is detected by the second start port switch 14a, if the variation display of the second special symbol can be started (for example, the variation display of the special symbol ends, 2), the second special symbol display 8b starts the variable display (variation) of the second special symbol, and the effect display device 9 starts the variable display of the effect symbol (effect symbol). Is done. That is, the change display of the second special symbol and the effect symbol corresponds to winning in the second start winning opening 14. If the variable display of the second special symbol cannot be started, the second reserved memory number is increased by 1 on condition that the second reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value.

  The variation display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8a and the variation display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 8b are stopped when a certain time has passed. If the special symbol at the time of stop (stop symbol) is a big hit symbol (specific display result), it will be “big hit”, and the special symbol at the time of stop (stop symbol) will be different from the big hit symbol (predetermined display result) Is “small hit”, and if the special symbol at the time of stoppage (stop symbol) is stopped and displayed, a special symbol different from the big hit symbol and the small hit symbol is “lost”.

  After the fluctuation display result in the special figure game becomes “big hit”, the game is controlled to the big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state in which a round advantageous to the player (also referred to as “round game”) is executed a predetermined number of times. Further, after the change display result in the special figure game becomes “small hit”, the game is controlled to a small hit game state different from the big hit game state.

  In this embodiment, when a big hit symbol corresponding to “probability big hit A” is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game, the state shifts to the first big hit state, and after the first big hit state ends, As one of the special game states, winning time wins and jackpots where time shortening control (short time control) is performed in which the special symbol variation display time (special symbol variation time) in the special symbol game is shortened compared to the normal state. A transition is made to a first probability variation state controlled to a probability variation state (high probability state) in which probability variation control (probability variation control) is performed in which the probability is increased compared to the normal gaming state. Here, the normal state is a normal gaming state as a gaming state different from a specific gaming state such as a big hit gaming state, a probability variation state, and a short-time state, and an initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, a system reset is performed). As in the case where the initialization process is performed after the power is turned on, the same control is performed. In the short-time state and the certainty change state, one of the following conditions is established: a special game (fluctuation display) is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times) or the change display result is “big hit”. Sometimes it ends.

  In addition, when a big hit symbol corresponding to “probability big hit B” is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game, the state shifts to the second big hit state, and after the second big hit state ends, As one of the different special gaming states, for example, the first probability variation state (high probability state; low base highly accurate state) in which only the probability variation control (probability variation control) is performed is controlled. In this probabilistic state, the probability that the variation display result will be a “big hit” and controlled to the big hit gaming state will be higher than the normal state or the short time state in the variable display of each special figure game or production symbol. To do. In such a probable change state, as in “probable change big hit A”, a special figure game (fluctuation display) is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times), and the fluctuation display result is “big hit”. Of these, the process may be terminated when one of the conditions is met.

  In the short-time state, the normal symbol display time on the normal symbol game on the normal symbol game 10 is controlled to be shorter than that in the normal state. Control for improving the probability of “per normal” than in the normal state, and tilt control for performing tilt control of the movable blade piece in the variable winning ball apparatus 15 based on the fact that the fluctuation display result is “per normal” The second start condition is such that the game ball can easily pass (enter) the second start winning opening 14, such as control for making the time longer than that in the normal state, and control for increasing the number of tilts than in the normal state. Control that is advantageous to the player is performed by increasing the possibility of establishment. In the time saving state, any one of these controls may be performed, or a plurality of controls may be performed in combination. In this way, the control that facilitates the entry of the game ball into the second start winning opening 14 in the short-time state and is advantageous to the player is also referred to as high opening control. By performing the high opening control, the frequency at which the second start winning opening 14 is in the expanded open state is increased as compared to when the high opening control is not performed. As a result, the second start condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display 8b is easily established, and the special figure game can be executed frequently. The time until the fluctuation display result becomes “big hit” is shortened. Therefore, in the short-time state, a big hit gaming state is more likely than in the normal state. The period during which the high opening control can be executed is also referred to as a high opening control period, and this period may be the same as the period during which the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the short-time state. Further, it is also said that the gaming state is in the high base during the high opening control period. On the other hand, when it is not the high opening control period, it is said that the gaming state is in the low base. The short-time state in this embodiment is a gaming state also referred to as a low-probability high-base state, and the normal state is a gaming state also referred to as a low-probability low-base state, which is a probabilistic state that is not a high release control period. The latent probability changing state, which will be described later, is a gaming state also referred to as a high probability low base state.

  Further, in this embodiment, after the “probability big hit B” that occurs in the normal state is finished, the second probability change state (latent probability change state; (Low base state). In addition, after the end of the second big hit state based on “probability big hit B” in the probable change state, the state shifts to the first positive change state (high-accuracy high base state) in which short-time control and high open control are performed along with the probability change control. To do.

  As described above, the probability variation state includes not only the time variation control and the high release control are performed together with the probability variation control but also the probability variation control only and the time reduction control and the high release control are not performed (latency probability variation). It may be. Further, in this embodiment, the probability variation control period is exemplified as a period up to a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times) after the end of the first big hit state and the second big hit state. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the case of having a normal big hit that shifts only to the short-time state after the end of the first big hit state, the probability variation control period may be controlled to continue until the next big hit. .

  In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas provided in the effect display device 9, a special symbol game using the first special symbol and the second special symbol in the first special symbol display 8a. Corresponding to the start of one of the special figure games using the second special figure on the display 8b, the effect symbol variation display (also referred to as variable display) is started. In the period from the start of the variation display of the effect symbol to the end of the variation display due to the stop display of the confirmed effect symbol in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas, The variable display state may be a predetermined reach state. Here, the reach state refers to an effect design (“reach” that is not yet displayed as a temporary stop when the effect design that is temporarily stopped in the display area of the effect display device 9 constitutes a part of the jackpot combination. "Varying symbol") is a display state in which the variation continues, or a display state in which all or part of the design symbol is changing in synchronization while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination is there. Specifically, a part of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas (for example, “left” and “right” effect symbol display areas) constitutes a predetermined jackpot combination. In the remaining effect symbol display area (for example, “medium” effect symbol display area, etc.) that has not yet been temporarily stopped when the effect symbol (for example, an effect symbol indicating “7” alphanumeric characters) is temporarily stopped. The display state in which the production symbol is fluctuating, or all or part of the production symbol display area of “Left”, “Middle” and “Right” is synchronized with the production symbol constituting all or part of the jackpot combination. The display state is fluctuating.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of a circuit configuration of the main board (game control board) 31 installed in the pachinko gaming machine 1. FIG. 3 also shows a payout control board 37, an effect control board 80, and the like. The main board 31 is equipped with a game control microcomputer 560 (corresponding to game control means) for controlling the pachinko gaming machine 1 in accordance with a program. The game control microcomputer 560 includes a ROM 54 for storing a game control (game progress control) program and the like, a RAM 55 as storage means used as a work memory, a CPU 56 for performing control operations in accordance with the program, and an I / O port unit 57. including. In this embodiment, the ROM 54 and the RAM 55 are built in the game control microcomputer 560. That is, the game control microcomputer 560 is a one-chip microcomputer. The one-chip microcomputer only needs to include at least the RAM 55, and the ROM 54 may be external or internal. The I / O port unit 57 may be externally attached. The game control microcomputer 560 further includes a random number circuit 53 that generates hardware random numbers (random numbers generated by the hardware circuit).

  In the game control microcomputer 560, the CPU 56 executes control in accordance with the program stored in the ROM 54, so that the game control microcomputer 560 (or CPU 56) executes (or performs processing) hereinafter. Specifically, the CPU 56 executes control according to a program. The same applies to microcomputers mounted on substrates other than the main substrate 31.

  The game control microcomputer 560 includes a random number circuit 53. The random number circuit 53 is a hardware circuit that is used to generate a random number for determination to determine whether or not to win a jackpot based on the display result of the special symbol variation display.

  The random number circuit 53 is a hardware circuit that is used to generate a random number for determination to determine whether or not to win a jackpot based on the display result of the special symbol variation display. The random number circuit 53 updates numerical data in accordance with a set update rule within a numerical range in which an initial value (for example, 0) and an upper limit value (for example, 65535) are set, and starts at a random timing Based on the fact that the winning time is the reading (extraction) of the numerical data, it has a random number generation function in which the numerical data to be read becomes a random value.

  The random number circuit 53 has a numeric data update range selection / setting function (initial value selection / setting function and upper limit selection / setting function), numeric data update rule selection / setting function, and numeric data update rule selection. It has various functions such as a switching function. With such a function, the randomness of the generated random numbers can be improved.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 560 has a function of setting an initial value of numerical data updated by the random number circuit 53. For example, a predetermined calculation is performed using the ID number of the game control microcomputer 560 stored in a predetermined storage area such as the ROM 54 (an ID number assigned with a different value for each product of the game control microcomputer 560). The numerical data obtained by the execution is set as the initial value of the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 53. By performing such processing, the randomness of the random number generated by the random number circuit 53 can be further improved.

  The game control microcomputer 560 reads the numerical data as random R from the random number circuit 53 when a start winning to the first start port switch 13a or the second start port switch 14a occurs, and starts to change the special symbol and the effect symbol Sometimes it is determined whether or not to make a big hit display result as a specific display result based on the random R, that is, whether or not to make a big hit. Then, when it is determined to be a big hit, the gaming state is shifted to a big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state advantageous to the player.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 560 inputs / outputs (transmits / receives) signals to / from the payout control board 37 (the payout control microcomputer) and the effect control board 80 (the effect control microcomputer 100) by serial communication. Serial communication circuit 52 is incorporated. Note that the payout control microcomputer and the effect control microcomputer 100 also have a serial communication circuit (not shown) for inputting / outputting signals with the game control microcomputer 560 through serial communication.

  The RAM 55 is a backup RAM as a non-volatile storage means, part or all of which is backed up by a backup power supply created on the power supply board. That is, even if the power supply to the gaming machine is stopped, a part or all of the contents of the RAM 55 is stored for a predetermined period (until the capacitor as the backup power supply is discharged and the backup power supply cannot be supplied). In particular, at least data corresponding to the game state, that is, the control state of the game control means (such as the value of the special symbol process flag and the pending storage number counter) and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls (specifically, prize balls described later) The value of the command output counter) is stored in the backup RAM. The data corresponding to the control state of the game control means is data necessary for restoring the control state before the occurrence of a power failure or the like based on the data when the power is restored after a power failure or the like occurs. Further, data corresponding to the control state and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are defined as data indicating the progress state of the game. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the entire RAM 55 is backed up.

  A reset signal from the power supply board is input to the reset terminal of the game control microcomputer 560. A reset circuit for generating a reset signal supplied to the game control microcomputer 560 and the like is mounted on the power supply board. When the reset signal becomes high level, the game control microcomputer 560 and the like are in an operable state, and when the reset signal becomes low level, the game control microcomputer 560 and the like are in an operation stop state. Therefore, an allowable signal that allows the operation of the game control microcomputer 560 or the like is output during a period when the reset signal is at a high level, and a game control microcomputer is output when the reset signal is at a low level. An operation stop signal for stopping the operation of 560 or the like is output. Note that the reset circuit may be mounted on each electric component control board (a board on which a microcomputer for controlling the electric parts is mounted).

  Further, a power-off signal indicating that the power supply voltage from the power supply board has dropped below a predetermined value is input to the input port of the game control microcomputer 560. That is, the power supply board monitors the voltage value of a predetermined voltage (for example, DC30V or DC5V) used in the gaming machine, and when the voltage value decreases to a predetermined value (the power supply voltage is reduced). A power supply monitoring circuit that outputs a power-off signal indicating that). Instead of mounting the power monitoring circuit on the power supply board, it may be mounted on a board (for example, main board 31) backed up by a backup power supply. In addition, a clear signal indicating that a clear switch for instructing to clear the contents of the RAM is operated is input to the input port of the game control microcomputer 560.

An output circuit 59 that is driven in accordance with the command is also mounted on the main board 31, and a system reset circuit (not shown) for resetting the game control microcomputer 560 when the power is turned on, jackpot information indicating the occurrence of a jackpot gaming state, etc. Information output signal via a terminal board (not shown) Information output circuit 64 for outputting to an external device such as a chromatography data are also mounted on the main substrate 31.

  In this embodiment, the effect control means (comprising the effect control microcomputer 100) mounted on the effect control board 80 instructs the contents of the effect from the game control microcomputer 560 via the relay board 77. An effect control command is received, and display control with the effect display device 9 that displays the effect symbols in a variable manner is performed.

  The effect control board 80 includes an effect control microcomputer 100 including an effect control CPU 120 and a RAM. The RAM may be externally attached. In the effect control board 80, the effect control CPU 120 operates in accordance with a program stored in a built-in or external ROM (not shown), and receives a capture signal (effect) from the main board 31 input via the relay board 77. In response to the control INT signal), an effect control command is received via the input driver and the input port. Further, the effect control CPU 120 causes the VDP (video display processor) to perform display control of the effect display device 9 based on the effect control command.

  The effect control CPU 120 reads necessary data from a character ROM (not shown) in accordance with the received effect control command. The character ROM is for storing character image data displayed on the effect display device 9, specifically, a person, characters, figures, symbols, etc. (including effect symbols) in advance. The effect control CPU 120 outputs the data read from the character ROM to the VDP. The VDP performs display control based on data input from the effect control CPU 120.

  The effect control command and the effect control INT signal are input to the effect control board 80 via the relay board 77. As a signal direction regulating means, the signal inputted from the main board 31 is allowed to pass through the relay board 77 only in the direction toward the effect control board 80 (the signal is not passed in the direction from the effect control board 80 to the relay board 77). A unidirectional circuit (not shown) is mounted. For example, a diode or a transistor is used as the unidirectional circuit. Furthermore, since the production control command and the production control INT signal are output from the main board 31 via the I / O port unit which is a unidirectional circuit, the signal going from the relay board 77 to the inside of the main board 31 is restricted. . That is, the signal from the relay board 77 does not enter the inside of the main board 31 (the game control microcomputer 560 side). In this embodiment, an example in which the relay board 77 is provided is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect control board 80 and the main board 31 are not provided without providing the relay board 77. May be directly connected.

  An effect control CPU 120, which is an effect control means mounted on the effect control board 80, controls the display of stage LEDs (not shown) provided on the game board 6 and is provided on the frame side. Display control of the prize ball LED 51, the ball break LED 52, the left frame LED 28b, the right frame LED 28c, and each LED in the top lamp module 530 is performed.

  On the game board 6 side, a decoration board 98 and a stage decoration board 99 are provided as board-side IC boards on which a serial-parallel conversion IC for converting serial data into parallel data is mounted. The board side IC boards 98 and 99 are connected to the effect control board 80 via the relay board 88. Further, on the front frame 101 side, a top lamp module substrate 542, a left front plate top substrate 473b, and a right front plate top as each frame side IC substrate on which a serial-parallel conversion IC for converting serial data into parallel data is mounted. A substrate 473c, an operation table substrate 508, and a frame button substrate 509 are provided. Each of these frame side IC substrates 542, 473b, 473c, 508, 509 is connected to the effect control substrate 80 via the relay substrates 88, 89.

  Sensor monitoring that detects signals output from the lever switches 510a to 510d, the trigger switch 512a, and the touch sensor 513 provided on the operation lever 600 and outputs a predetermined detection signal corresponding to the signal input on the operation base board 508. An IC (not shown) and a parallel-serial conversion IC (not shown) to which a detection signal from the sensor monitoring IC is input are mounted, and the operation lever 600 is operated by the effect control microcomputer 100 (effect control CPU 120. ) Can be detected.

Similarly, the frame button substrate 509, latches the output signals from the button switch 516 a for detecting the operation of a push button 516, a serial data format presentation control microcomputer 100 via the relay board 89 as (for effect control A parallel-serial conversion IC to be output to the CPU 120) is mounted, and the operation of the push buttons 516 can be detected by the effect control microcomputer 100 (effect control CPU 120).

  In the voice control board 70, the sound number data is input to a voice synthesis IC (not shown) via an input driver (not shown). The voice synthesizing IC generates voice and sound effects corresponding to the sound number data and outputs them to an amplifier circuit (not shown). The amplifier circuit outputs to the speaker 27 an audio signal obtained by amplifying the output level of the voice synthesis IC to a level corresponding to the volume set by the volume. Control data corresponding to sound number data is stored in a sound data ROM (not shown). The control data corresponding to the sound number data is a collection of data showing the output form of the sound effect or sound in a time series in a predetermined period (for example, the changing period of the effect design). The sound control board 70 and the effect control board 80 may be formed by a single control board.

  Next, the operation of the gaming machine will be described. First, a main process executed by the game control microcomputer 560 on the main board 31 will be briefly described. When power is supplied to the gaming machine and power supply is started, the input level of the reset terminal to which the reset signal is input becomes high level, and the gaming control microcomputer 560 (specifically, the CPU 56) After executing the security check process, which is a process for confirming whether the contents of the program are valid, the main process after step S1 is started. In the main process, the CPU 56 first performs necessary initial settings.

  In the initial setting process, the CPU 56 first sets interrupt prohibition. Next, the interrupt mode is set to interrupt mode 2, and the stack pointer designation address is set to the stack pointer. Then, after initialization of the built-in device (such as initialization of CTC (counter / timer) and PIO (parallel input / output port) which are built-in devices (built-in peripheral circuits)), the RAM is set to an accessible state. In the interrupt mode 2, the address synthesized from the value (1 byte) of the specific register (I register) built in the CPU 56 and the interrupt vector (1 byte: least significant bit 0) output from the built-in device is This mode indicates an interrupt address.

  Next, the CPU 56 checks the state of the output signal (clear signal) of the clear switch (for example, mounted on the power supply board) input via the input port. When ON is detected in the confirmation, the CPU 56 executes a normal initialization process described later.

  If the clear switch is not on, check whether data protection processing of the backup RAM area (for example, power supply stop processing such as addition of parity data) was performed when power supply to the gaming machine was stopped To do. When it is confirmed that such protection processing is not performed, the CPU 56 executes initialization processing. Whether there is backup data in the backup RAM area is confirmed by, for example, the state of the backup flag set in the backup RAM area in the power supply stop process.

  When it is confirmed that the power supply stop process has been performed, the CPU 56 checks the data in the backup RAM area. In this embodiment, a parity check is performed as a data check. Therefore, in the data check of the backup RAM area, the calculated checksum is compared with the checksum calculated and stored by the same process in the power supply stop process. When the power supply is stopped after an unexpected power failure or the like, the data in the backup RAM area should be saved, so the check result (comparison result) is normal (matched). That the check result is not normal means that the data in the backup RAM area is different from the data when the power supply is stopped. In such a case, since the internal state cannot be returned to the state when the power supply is stopped, an initialization process that is executed when the power is turned on is not performed when the power supply is stopped.

  If the check result is normal, the CPU 56 performs a game state restoration process for returning the internal state of the game control means and the control state of the electrical component control means such as the effect control means to the state when the power supply is stopped.

  Further, the CPU 56 transmits a power failure recovery designation command as an initialization command at the time of power supply recovery. And the random number circuit setting process mentioned later is performed. In this embodiment, in the process of transmitting the power failure recovery designation command, the CPU 56 also sends to the effect control board 80 a total pending storage number designation command in which the value of the total pending memory count counter stored in the backup RAM is set. To send.

  In the initialization process, the CPU 56 first performs a RAM clear process. The RAM clear process initializes predetermined data (for example, count value data of a counter for generating a random number for normal symbol determination) to 0, but an arbitrary value or a predetermined value It may be initialized to. In addition, the entire area of the RAM 55 may not be initialized, and predetermined data (for example, count value data of a counter for generating a random number for normal symbol determination) may be left as it is. In addition, the initial address of the initialization setting table stored in the ROM 54 is set as a pointer, and the contents of the initialization setting table are sequentially set in the work area.

  By executing the process of setting the start address of the initialization setting table as a pointer and sequentially setting the contents of the initialization setting table in the work area, for example, a random number counter for normal symbol determination, a special symbol, etc. An initial value is set to a flag for selectively performing processing according to the control state, such as a buffer, a total number of winning balls storage buffer, and a special symbol process flag.

  Further, the CPU 56 initializes a sub board (a board on which a microcomputer other than the main board 31 is mounted) (a command indicating that the game control microcomputer 560 has executed an initialization process). Is also sent to the sub-board. For example, when the effect control microcomputer 100 receives the initialization designation command, the effect display device 9 performs screen display for notifying that the control of the gaming machine has been performed, that is, initialization notification.

  Further, the CPU 56 executes a random number circuit setting process for initially setting the random number circuit 53. For example, the CPU 56 performs setting according to the random number circuit setting program to cause the random number circuit 53 to update the random R value.

  Then, the CPU 56 sets a CTC register built in the game control microcomputer 560 so that a timer interrupt is periodically taken every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms). That is, a value corresponding to, for example, 2 ms is set in a predetermined register (time constant register) as an initial value. In this embodiment, it is assumed that a timer interrupt is periodically taken every 2 ms.

  When the execution of the initialization process is completed, the CPU 56 repeatedly executes the display random number update process and the initial value random number update process in the main process. When the display random number update process and the initial value random number update process are executed, the interrupt disabled state is set, and when the display random number update process and the initial value random number update process are finished, the interrupt permitted state is set. In this embodiment, the display random number is a random number for determining the stop symbol of the special symbol when it is not a big hit, or a random number for determining whether to reach when it is not a big hit, The random number update process is a process for updating the count value of a counter for generating a display random number. The initial value random number update process is a process for updating the count value of the counter for generating the initial value random number. In this embodiment, the initial value random number determines the initial value of the count value of a counter for generating a random number for determining whether or not to win a normal symbol (ordinary random number generation counter for normal symbol determination). It is a random number to do. A game control process for controlling the progress of the game, which will be described later (the game control microcomputer 560 controls game devices such as an effect display device, a variable winning ball device, a ball payout device, etc. provided in the game machine itself. In the process of transmitting a command signal to be controlled by another microcomputer, or a game machine control process), the count value of the random number for determination per normal symbol is one round (the random number for determination per normal symbol is taken). When the value is incremented by the number of values between the minimum value and the maximum value of the possible values), an initial value is set in the counter.

  In this embodiment, the reach effect is executed using an effect symbol (effect symbol) that is variably displayed on the effect display device 9. Further, when the display result of the special symbol is a jackpot symbol, the reach effect is always executed. When the display result of the special symbol is not a jackpot symbol, the game control microcomputer 560 determines whether or not to execute the reach effect by lottery using a random number. However, it is the production control microcomputer 100 that actually executes the reach production control.

  When the timer interrupt occurs, the CPU 56 executes the timer interrupt process in steps S20 to S34 shown in FIG. In the timer interrupt process, first, a power-off detection process for detecting whether or not a power-off signal is output (whether or not an on-state is turned on) is executed (step S20). The power-off signal is output, for example, when a power supply monitoring circuit mounted on the power supply board detects a decrease in the voltage of the power supplied to the gaming machine. In the power-off detection process, when detecting that the power-off signal is output, the CPU 56 executes a power supply stop process for saving necessary data in the backup RAM area. Next, detection signals from the gate switch 32a, the first start port switch 13a, the second start port switch 14a, and the count switch 23 are input via the input driver circuit 58, and their state is determined (switch processing: step S21). ).

  Next, the CPU 56 has a first special symbol display 8a, a second special symbol display 8b, a normal symbol display 10, a first special symbol hold storage display 18a, a second special symbol hold storage display 18b, a normal symbol. A display control process for controlling the display of the on-hold storage display 41 is executed (step S22). About the 1st special symbol display 8a, the 2nd special symbol display 8b, and the normal symbol display 10, a drive signal is output with respect to each display according to the content of the output buffer set by step S32, S33. Execute control.

  In addition, a process of updating the count value of each counter for generating each random number for determination such as a random number for determination per ordinary symbol used for game control is performed (determination random number update process: step S23). The CPU 56 further performs a process of updating the count value of the counter for generating the initial value random number and the display random number (initial value random number update process, display random number update process: steps S24 and S25).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs special symbol process processing (step S26). In the special symbol process, corresponding processing is executed in accordance with a special symbol process flag for controlling the first special symbol indicator 8a, the second special symbol indicator 8b, and the big prize opening in a predetermined order. The CPU 56 updates the value of the special symbol process flag according to the gaming state.

  Next, normal symbol process processing is performed (step S27). In the normal symbol process, the CPU 56 executes a corresponding process according to the normal symbol process flag for controlling the display state of the normal symbol display 10 in a predetermined order. The CPU 56 updates the value of the normal symbol process flag according to the gaming state.

  Further, the CPU 56 performs a process of sending an effect control command to the effect control microcomputer 100 (effect control command control process: step S28).

Further, the CPU 56 performs an information output process for outputting data such as jackpot information, starting information, probability variation information, startup accuracy information supplied to the hall management computer, for example (step S29). Note that the activation high-accuracy information is output from the information output circuit 64 to a call lamp (not shown) provided above the pachinko gaming machine 1 in response to the high-accuracy notification flag being set.

  Further, the CPU 56 executes a prize ball process for setting the number of prize balls based on detection signals from the first start port switch 13a, the second start port switch 14a, and the count switch 23 (step S30). Specifically, the payout control micro mounted on the payout control board 37 in response to the winning detection based on any one of the first start port switch 13a, the second start port switch 14a and the count switch 23 being turned on. A payout control command (prize ball number signal) indicating the number of prize balls is output to the computer. The payout control microcomputer drives the ball payout device 97 in accordance with a payout control command indicating the number of winning balls.

  In this embodiment, a RAM area (output port buffer) corresponding to the output state of the output port is provided. However, the CPU 56 relates to solenoid on / off in the RAM area corresponding to the output state of the output port. Is output to the output port (step S31: output process).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs a special symbol display control process for setting special symbol display control data for effect display of special symbols in the output buffer for setting the special symbol display control data according to the value of the special symbol process flag ( Step S32). For example, if the variation speed is 1 frame / 0.2 seconds until the end flag is set when the start flag set in the special symbol process is set, the CPU 56, for example, every 0.2 seconds passes. The display control data value set in the output buffer is incremented by one. Further, the CPU 56 outputs a drive signal in step S22 in accordance with the display control data set in the output buffer, whereby the first special symbol display unit 8a and the second special symbol display unit 8b The variable display of the second special symbol is executed.

  Further, the CPU 56 performs a normal symbol display control process for setting normal symbol display control data for effect display of the normal symbol in an output buffer for setting the normal symbol display control data according to the value of the normal symbol process flag ( Step S33). For example, when the start flag related to the variation of the normal symbol is set, the CPU 56 switches the display state (“◯” and “×”) for the variation rate of the normal symbol every 0.2 seconds until the end flag is set. With such a speed, the value of the display control data set in the output buffer (for example, 1 indicating “◯” and 0 indicating “x”) is switched every 0.2 seconds. Further, the CPU 56 outputs a normal signal on the normal symbol display 10 by outputting a drive signal in step S22 in accordance with the display control data set in the output buffer.

  Thereafter, the interrupt permission state is set (step S34), and the process is terminated.

  With the above control, in this embodiment, the game control process is started every 2 ms. The game control process corresponds to the processes in steps S21 to S33 (excluding step S29) in the timer interrupt process. In this embodiment, the game control process is executed by the timer interrupt process. However, in the timer interrupt process, for example, only a flag indicating that an interrupt has occurred is set, and the game control process is performed in the main process. It may be executed.

  When the shift symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b and the effect display device 9, the change display state of the effect symbol is displayed after the effect symbol change display is started. There may be a case where a predetermined combination of effect symbols that does not reach reach is stopped and displayed without reaching the reach state. Such a variation display mode of the effect symbol is referred to as a “non-reach” (also referred to as “normal shift”) variation display mode in a case where the variation display result is a loss symbol.

  When the shift symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b and the effect display device 9, the change display state of the effect symbol is displayed after the effect symbol change display is started. After reaching the reach state, a reach effect is executed, and a combination of predetermined effect symbols that do not eventually become a jackpot symbol may be stopped and displayed. Such a variation display result of the effect symbol is referred to as a variation display mode of “reach” (also referred to as “reach disengagement”) when the variation display result is “out of”.

  In this embodiment, when the big win symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b, the reach effect is executed after the variation display state of the effect symbol becomes the reach state. Finally, the effect symbols are all stopped and displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas 9L, 9C, and 9R in the effect display device 9.

  When the predetermined symbol (predetermined symbol corresponding to the type of small hit) is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b, the effect display device 9 In the same way as when the symbol variation display mode is “probability variation big hit B” to be described later, after the effect symbol variation display is performed, a predetermined small hit symbol (the same symbol as the probability variation big hit B symbol, for example, “355”). May be stopped. The display effect on the effect display device 9 corresponding to the fact that a predetermined symbol (symbol), which is a small hit symbol, is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol indicator 8a or the second special symbol indicator 8b is changed to “small hit”. This is called a display mode.

  Here, the small win is a short winning opening time of the big winning opening as compared with the probability variation big hit A described later (in this embodiment, the opening for 0.1 seconds is five times). When the small hit game ends, the game state does not change. That is, there is no transition from the probability variation state to the normal state or from the normal state to the certain variation state. In addition, the probability variation big hit B is a big hit as compared to the probability variation big hit A, in which the opening time of the big prize opening is short (in this embodiment, 0.1 seconds is opened five times), and the gaming state after the big hit game (However, the game state after the big hit game will not be in a short-time state, that is, the second start condition, which is the execution condition of the variable display, is difficult to be satisfied, and the start condition is satisfied) Is the same as the normal state, so it looks the same as the normal state). That is, in this embodiment, the probability variation big hit B and the small hit are the same in the opening pattern of the big winning opening. By controlling in such a manner, if the winning opening is opened five times for 0.1 seconds, it is not possible to identify whether the probability change big hit B that shifts to the probability variation state or the small hit that does not shift to the probability variation state. Therefore, the player can be expected to have a high probability state (probability variation state), and the interest of the game can be improved.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a variation pattern of the effect symbol prepared in advance. As shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, non-reach PA1-0 to non-reach as a variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is “out of” and the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “non-reach”. A variation pattern of PA1-4 is prepared. Further, as a variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is “out of” and the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “reach”, normal PA2-1 (normal reach A) to normal PA2-2 (normal reach B), normal Variation patterns of PB2-1 to normal PB2-2 (normal reach C) and super PB3-1 to super PB3-3 are prepared. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, about the fluctuation pattern of non-reach PA1-4 which is used when not reaching and has the effect of pseudo-ream, re-change is performed twice. Of the variation patterns used for reaching and accompanied by pseudo-rendition, when normal PB2-1 is used, re-variation is performed twice. Of the fluctuation patterns used for reaching and accompanied by pseudo-continuous effects, when normal PB2-2 is used, re-variation is performed three times.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, normal PA2-3 (normal reach A) to normal PA2-4 are used as the variation patterns corresponding to the case where the special symbol variation display result is a big hit symbol or a small hit symbol. (Normal reach B), normal PB2-3 to normal PB2-4 (normal reach C), super PB3-4 to super PB3-6, special PG1-1 to special PG1-3, special PG2-1 (normal reach A) to special PG2 -2 (normal reach B) variation patterns are prepared. In FIG. 5, the fluctuation patterns of special PG1-1 to special PG1-3 and special PG2-1 to special PG2-2 are fluctuation patterns used when the probability variation big hit B or small hit, and the probability variation big hit. In the case of B or small hit, the variation pattern of the special PG 2-1 including the reach effect of the normal reach A and the special PG 2-2 including the reach effect of the normal reach B may be determined. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when the normal PB2-3 is used among the fluctuation patterns that are used when the probability variation big hit B or the small hit is not used and accompanied by the effect of the pseudo-continuous, the re-variation is performed twice. Of the fluctuation patterns used for reaching and accompanied by pseudo-rendition, when normal PB2-4 is used, re-variation is performed three times. Further, the fluctuation pattern of the special PG1-3 and the special PG2-2, which is used in the case of the probable big hit B or the small hit and accompanied with the effect of the pseudo-ream, is re-varied twice.

  In this embodiment, three variation patterns of super reach A to C are set as the variation pattern of super reach in which the production of super reach is performed. In each super reach production of super reach A to C, different characters are used. If an effect is played against an enemy character and the fluctuation display result is out of place, the character loses to the enemy character in the battle, and if the fluctuation display result is a big hit, the character wins the enemy character in the battle Production to be performed.

  In addition, among the super reach A to C, the super reach C has the lowest appearance rate and has the highest reliability (expectation) that is the biggest hit, and a premier production in which a special character appears as a character is performed. The super reach C is set as a target of a mission to be described later, and when the super reach C is executed, the mission can be cleared, and the management server 900 has a predetermined value. Benefits can be granted.

  In this embodiment, the super reach C is exemplified by a super reach C (displacement) provided as a fluctuation pattern that causes a loss. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the super reach C is not limited thereto. You may make it provide only super reach C (big hit), without providing C (separation). In this case, it is only necessary to provide a super reach C (big hit) mission as the mission.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, when the variation time is fixed according to the type of variation pattern (for example, when there is no non-reach reduction, it is fixed at 5.50 seconds). In the case of Super Reach A with pseudo-ream, the fluctuation time is fixed at 26.75 seconds, and in the case of Super Reach A without pseudo-ream, the fluctuation time is fixed at 22.75 seconds). However, for example, even in the case of the same type of super reach, the variation time may be varied according to the total number of pending storage. For example, even with the same type of super reach, the variation time may be shortened as the total number of pending storage increases. Also, for example, even in the case of the same type of super reach, when the variable display of the first special symbol is performed, the variable time may be varied according to the first reserved memory number. When the variable display of the two special symbols is performed, the variable time may be varied according to the second reserved memory number. In this case, a separate determination table is prepared for each value of the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number (for example, the variation pattern type determination table for the reserved memory numbers 0 to 2 and the reserved memory numbers 3 and 4). For example, a determination table may be selected according to the value of the first reserved memory number or the second reserved memory number, and the change time may be varied.

  In this embodiment, the non-reach PA1-3 includes the same fluctuation pattern as the special PG1-2 and the non-reach PA1-4 includes the same fluctuation pattern as the special PG1-3. Since there may be a variation effect mode similar to that at the time of a small hit, it is difficult for the player to recognize that a probable big hit B or a small hit has occurred.

  As described above, in this embodiment, two variation patterns (special PG1-2) among a plurality of variation patterns (special PG1-1 to 2-1 and 2-1 to 2) selected at the time of winning the probability variation big hit B or small hit. , 1-3) and any one of a plurality of variation patterns selected at the time of detachment (non-reach PA1) is a series of performance modes consisting of performance modes executed in the probability variation big hit B gaming state / small hit gaming state Since it is the same as the production mode of (3, 4), it is difficult to specify which production mode is based on the variation pattern of non-reach PA1-3, 4 or special PG1-2, 3 be able to. In other words, the variation pattern based on the non-reach PA1-3, 4 and the special PG1-2, 3 is a variation pattern that is selected in any of the probability variation big hit B, the small hit, and the deviation, so the probability variation big hit B or Even when a small hit occurs, it is difficult for the player to realize that a probable big hit B or a small hit has occurred, and as a result, the probable big hit B is less than that when only the probable big hit B or the small hit is generated. It is possible to make it more difficult for the player to realize that the gaming state has shifted to the probabilistic state as it occurs.

  In this embodiment, only the non-reach PA1-3 and the special PG1-2, the non-reach PA1-4 and the special PG1-3 have the same variation effect pattern. However, in other variation patterns, The same variation pattern may be set at the time of loss and at the time of probability variation big hit B or small hit.

  Further, in this embodiment, at the time of loss, a variation pattern having the same effect mode as one of a plurality of change patterns selected at the time of probability variation big hit B or small hit is selected. It is not necessary to select the variation pattern. That is, even when the variation pattern having the same effect mode as the variation pattern selected at the probability variation big hit B or small hit is not selected at the time of losing, the special PG 1-1 to 2-1 and 2-1 to 2 are changed to the probability variation big hit B or small. By using the variation pattern selected at the time of hitting, when any one of the variation patterns of the special PGs 1-1 to 2-1 and 2-1 to 2 is selected, at least the player specifies the occurrence of the probability variation big hit B. Since it becomes difficult, it is possible to prevent the player from realizing that the probability change big hit B occurs and the subsequent game state shifts to the probability change state.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing each random number. Each random number is used as follows.
(1) Random 1 (MR1): Determine the type of jackpot (probable variation jackpot A and probability variation jackpot B described later) (for jackpot type determination)
(2) Random 2 (MR2): The type (type) of the variation pattern is determined (for variation pattern type determination)
(3) Random 3 (MR3): A variation pattern (variation time) is determined (for variation pattern determination)
(4) Random 4 (MR4): Determines whether or not to generate a hit based on a normal symbol (for normal symbol hit determination)
(5) Random 5 (MR5): Determine the initial value of random 4 (for determining the initial value of random 4)

  In this embodiment, the variation pattern is first determined using the variation pattern type determination random number (random 2), and the variation pattern determined using the variation pattern determination random number (random 3). The variation pattern included in the type is determined. As described above, in this embodiment, the variation pattern is determined by a two-stage lottery process. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the variation pattern is determined without determining these variation pattern types. You may do it.

  The variation pattern type is a group of a plurality of variation patterns according to the characteristics of the variation mode. For example, a plurality of variation patterns are grouped by reach type, a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with various normal reach, a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with super reach A, and a variation pattern with super reach B. It may be divided into the variation pattern types to be included. Further, for example, a plurality of variation patterns are grouped by the number of re-variations of pseudo-continuations, a variation pattern type including a variation pattern without pseudo-reams, a variation pattern type including a variation pattern of less than two re-variations, You may divide into the variation pattern classification containing the variation pattern of 3 times of re-variation. Further, for example, a plurality of variation patterns may be grouped according to the presence or absence of a specific effect such as a pseudo-ream or a slip effect.

  In this embodiment, in the case of a probable big hit A, normal CA3-1 which is a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with only various normal reach, and a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with a normal reach C and a pseudo-ream. Are classified into a normal CA 3-2 and a super CA 3-3 which is a variation pattern type with super reach. In the case of the probable big hit B, a special CA4-1 that is a variation pattern type that does not include a variation pattern with pseudo-continuations and a special CA4-2 that is a variation pattern type that includes a variation pattern with pseudo-continuations. It is classified. Also, in the case of small hits, as in the case of the probability variation big hit B, special CA4-1 that is a variation pattern type that does not include a variation pattern with pseudo-continuations, and a variation pattern type that includes a variation pattern with pseudo-continuations. Are classified into special CA4-2. Further, in the case of “out of”, a non-reach CA 2-1 that is a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with no reach and a specific effect, and a variation pattern type that includes a change pattern with a specific effect without a reach. Non-reach CA2-2, non-reach CA2-3 which is a variation pattern type including a variation pattern of a shortened variation that does not involve reach and specific effects, and normal which is a variation pattern type including a variation pattern only with various normal reach CA2-4, normal CA2-5 which is a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with normal reach C and three re-variation pseudo-continuations, and a variation pattern including a variation pattern with normal reach C and two re-variation pseudo-continuations Fluctuation parameters with normal CA2-6 and super reach other than super reach C Super CA2-7 is over down type, is the type divided into super CA2-8 and a variation pattern type with all the super reach.

  Here, the reliability of each variation pattern of the present embodiment will be briefly described. The reliability is the probability that an individual variation pattern will finally become a big hit (probability displayed when it finally becomes a big hit). This is a value (ratio) divided by the sum of the probability displayed when the variation pattern is lost and the probability displayed when the variation pattern is a big hit.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the fluctuation pattern can be roughly divided into a fluctuation pattern of “non-reach”, a fluctuation pattern of “reach”, and a fluctuation pattern of “super reach”. When a big hit is made, a reach or super reach always appears, and a non-reach does not make a big hit, so the reliability of the fluctuation pattern of “non-reach” is “0”. Further, the reliability A of the fluctuation pattern of “reach” is set lower than the reliability B of the fluctuation pattern of “super reach” (that is, A <B), and the reliability of the fluctuation pattern of super reach is the highest. It is high.

  The super reach is set such that the longer the variation time, the higher the reliability. That is, the reliability α of super reach A, the reliability β of super reach B, and the reliability γ of super reach C are set in the order of γ> β> α.

  In step S23 in the game control process shown in FIG. 4, the game control microcomputer 560 generates a (random 1) jackpot type determination random number and (random 4) a normal symbol determination random number. Count up (add 1). That is, they are determination random numbers, and other random numbers are display random numbers (random 2, random 3) or initial value random numbers (random 5). In addition, in order to improve a game effect, you may use random numbers other than said random number. Further, in this embodiment, a random number generated by hardware built in the game control microcomputer 560 (or hardware external to the game control microcomputer 560) is used as the jackpot determination random number.

  FIG. 7A is an explanatory diagram showing a big hit determination table 130a. The jackpot determination table is a collection of data stored in the ROM 54 and is a table in which a jackpot determination value to be compared with the random R is set. The jackpot determination table includes a normal-time jackpot determination table used in a normal state (a gaming state that is not a probability change state) and a probability change jackpot determination table used in a probability change state. Each value described in the left column of FIG. 7 (a) is set in the normal jackpot determination table, and each value described in the right column of FIG. 7 (a) is set in the probability change jackpot determination table. Is set. The numerical value described in FIG. 7A is the jackpot determination value.

  FIGS. 7B and 7C are explanatory diagrams showing the small hit determination tables 130b and 130c. The small hit determination table is a collection of data stored in the ROM 54 and is a table in which a small hit determination value to be compared with the random R is set. The small hit determination table includes a small hit determination table (for the first special symbol) 130b used when the variable display of the first special symbol is performed, and a small hit determination used when the variable display of the second special symbol is performed. There is a table (for the second special symbol) 130c. Each value described in FIG. 7B is set in the small hit determination table (for the first special symbol) 130b, and the small hit determination table (for the second special symbol) 130c is set in FIG. ) Are set. Moreover, the numerical values described in FIGS. 7B and 7C are the small hit determination values.

  The CPU 56 extracts the count value of the random number circuit 53 at a predetermined time and sets the extracted value as the value of the big hit determination random number (random R). The big hit determination random number is shown in FIG. If it matches any of the big hit determination values, the special symbol is decided to be a big hit (probability variation big hit A and probability variation big hit B described later). Further, when the big hit determination random number value matches one of the small hit determination values shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C, it is determined to make a small hit for the special symbol. Note that “probability” shown in FIG. 7A indicates the probability (ratio) of a big hit. Further, the “probability” shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C indicates the probability (ratio) of making a small hit. Further, deciding whether or not to win a jackpot means deciding whether or not to shift to the jackpot gaming state, but the stop symbol in the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b is determined. It also means deciding whether or not to make a jackpot symbol. Further, determining whether or not to make a small hit means determining whether or not to shift to the small hit gaming state, but stopping in the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b. It also means determining whether or not the symbol is to be a small hit symbol.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C, when the small hit determination table (for the first special symbol) 130b is used, the small hit is determined at a ratio of 1/23. On the other hand, when the small hit determination table (second special symbol) 130c is used, a case where the small hit is determined at a ratio of 1/40 will be described. Accordingly, in this embodiment, when the first special symbol variation display is executed after the first winning symbol 13 is started, the second special symbol variation is displayed when the second special symbol 14 is displayed. Compared with the case where the display is executed, the ratio determined as “small hit” is high.

  That is, the fluctuation display of the first special symbol display 8a is executed when the gaming state is the normal state or the probability variation state (high probability low base state), and the gaming state is the probability variation state (high In order to prevent the player from being aware of the transition to the (probably low base state), the occurrence probability of the small hit is increased, whereas the fluctuation display of the second special symbol display 8b is executed. When the gaming state is a probable change / short-time state (highly accurate high base state), in this case, the player cannot realize that the gaming state has shifted to the probable state (highly accurate low base state) due to the probable big hit B Since there is no need to do so, the probability of occurrence of a small hit is suppressed.

  In this embodiment, a small hit symbol is derived as a variation display result of the first special symbol display 8a and the second special symbol display 8b. However, the variation of the second special symbol display 8b The small hit symbol may not be derived as the display result.

  In addition, when the small hit determination table (for the first special symbol) 130b is used, the ratio (1/23) determined as the small hit is the ratio (1/443 (low probability) determined as the probability big hit B), 1 / 43 (during high accuracy)), the small hit occurs more frequently than the positive probability big hit B.

  FIG. 7D is an explanatory diagram showing a big hit type determination table 131 a stored in the ROM 54. The big hit type determination table 131a is based on hold storage (that is, when a variation display of the first special symbol is performed) based on the game ball winning in the first start winning opening 13 and the game ball in the second start winning opening 14. It is a jackpot type determination table in the case of determining the jackpot type using the hold storage based on winning (that is, when the variation display of the second special symbol is performed). That is, the same jackpot type determination table 131a is used in both the variable display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8a and the variable display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 8b. The jackpot type is determined.

  The jackpot type determination table 131a determines that the jackpot type is “probable big hit A” or “probable change” based on a random number (random 1) for determining the big hit type when it is determined that the variable display result is a big hit symbol. It is a table that is referred to in order to determine any one of “big hit B”. In this embodiment, 28 judgment values are assigned to “probability variation big hit A” (determined as 28 in 40% as probability variation big hit A), and 12 for “probability big hit B”. Is assigned (determined as a probable big hit B at a ratio of 12/40). Therefore, in this embodiment, when it is determined that the variation display result is a jackpot symbol, the probability of being “probable big hit B” is lower than the probability of being “probable big hit A”. The case where the variation display of the first special symbol is executed after starting the winning at the mouth 13 and the case where the variation display of the second special symbol is performed after starting the winning at the second starting winning port 14 are performed. The ratio determined as “B” is the same. The first special symbol variation display is executed when the first start winning port 13 is started, and the second special symbol variation display is executed when the second start winning port 14 is started. The ratio determined as “probability big hit B” may be made different.

  Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7 (d), the five-round probability variation big hit B as the second specific gaming state is compared with the probability variation big hit B, and one big winning per win in the big hit The case of determining the probability variation jackpot A as the first specific gaming state in which the opening time of the mouth is extended will be described, but the gaming value to be given is not limited to the number of rounds as shown in this embodiment. For example, the first specific gaming state having a larger number of rounds compared to the second specific gaming state may be determined. Further, for example, the first specific game state in which the allowable amount of the winning number (count number) of game balls to the big winning opening per round is increased as the game value as compared with the second specific game state is determined. It may be. Also, for example, even in the case of the same big round of big rounds, the second specific gaming state where the big winning opening is opened once per round and the first specific gaming state where the big winning opening is opened multiple times per round. It may be prepared to increase the gaming value of the first specific gaming state by substantially increasing the number of times the special winning opening is opened. In this case, for example, in the case of either the first specific gaming state or the second specific gaming state, when the big prize opening is opened five times (in this case, in the case of the second specific gaming state, all five rounds In the case of the first specified gaming state, there will be an undigested round), and an effect in a manner that encourages whether or not the big hit will continue (so-called rank-up bonus effect) You may make it perform. And in the case of the 2nd specific game state, since all 5 rounds are ended internally, the big hit game is ended, and in the case of the 1st specific game state, an undigested round remains internally. For this reason, the jackpot game may continue (the effect that the bonus winning opening is additionally started with a bonus after finishing the big hit of the fifth round).

  The “probable big hit A” is a big hit that is controlled to a five-round big hit gaming state, and is shifted to a probable change state and a time-short state (probability change / short time state, high-precision high base state) after the big hit gaming state. After the big hit, the probability variation state continues until the variation display is terminated 10 times (until the number of start times is 10). However, in the short-time state, after the big hit, when the variable display is finished 8 times (when the number of start is 8), it is shifted to the low base state and the change display is finished only 10 times in the high probability state. This is continued until it is started (until the number of start times becomes 10). Therefore, in this embodiment, after the big hit, from the end of the eighth fluctuation display to the end of the tenth fluctuation display, only the high probability state is set, and the high base state is not reached (high probability low Base state).

  “Probable big hit B” means that the opening time of the big winning opening per round is controlled to the big round gaming state of 5 rounds shorter than “probable big hit A”, and after the big hit gaming state ends, it shifts only to the promiscuous state It ’s a big hit. After the big hit, the probability variation state continues until the variable display is completed a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 10 times). However, after the big hit is finished, the state is shifted to the low base state without shifting to the time-short state, and only the high probability state is continued until the variable display is terminated ten times. Therefore, in this embodiment, after the probability variation big hit B is finished, only the high probability state is set until the tenth variation display is finished, and the high base state is not transferred (high probability low base state).

  In other words, in "Probability variation jackpot A", the opening time of the big winning opening per round is as long as 29 seconds, whereas in "Probability variation big hit B", the opening time of the big winning opening per round is 0.1 seconds. It is extremely short (open at high speed), and it is almost impossible to expect a game ball to win a big prize during a big hit game. In this embodiment, after the jackpot gaming state of the probability variation big hit B is finished, the transition is made to the probability variation state, but not the high base state.

  In this embodiment, even when “small hit” is reached, the big winning opening is opened five times for 0.1 seconds, and the same control as the big hit gaming state by “probability big hit B” is performed. . In the case of “small hit”, the gaming state does not change after the five high-speed opening of the big prize opening ends, and the gaming state before “small hit” is maintained. By doing so, even if the player can confirm the opening of the big prize opening, it is difficult to specify whether the opening is based on “probable big hit B” or “small hit”, and the gaming state thereafter Since it becomes impossible to specify whether the player has changed to the probability change state or the normal state, the probability change big hit B is generated so that the player does not know, and the game state is changed to the probability change state after the big hit ends. That is, the probability variation state can be hidden. On the contrary, by generating a small hit in which the same effect control as the probability variation big hit B is performed in the low probability state, the gaming state does not shift to the probability changed state after the small hit is ended, so the low probability state is changed. Can be hidden.

  The big hit type determination table 131a is a numerical value to be compared with a random 1 value, and a determination value (big hit type determination value) corresponding to each of “probability variation big hit A” and “probability variation big hit B” is set. . When the value of random 1 matches any of the jackpot type determination values, the CPU 56 determines the jackpot type as a type corresponding to the matched jackpot type determination value.

  In addition to these various tables, the ROM 54 determines the variation pattern type for variation pattern type determination according to the determination result of the jackpot type when it is determined that the variation display result is a jackpot symbol. The probability variation big hit A variation pattern type determination table (FIG. 8 (a)) referred to in order to determine one of a plurality of types based on a random number (random 2) or the variation pattern type is determined as the variation pattern type determination. The probability variation big hit B / small hit variation pattern type determination table (FIG. 8B), which is referred to in order to determine one of a plurality of types based on the random number (random 2), and the variation display result When it is determined that the symbol is to be out of place, the variation pattern type is determined as one of a plurality of types based on a random number (random 2) for determining the variation pattern type. The variation pattern type determination tables A to B (FIGS. 9A and 9B) to be referred to in order to perform the determination, or the determination that the variation display result is “big hit” or “small hit” is made. In addition, depending on the determination result of the jackpot type or variation pattern type, the hit variation referred to determine the variation pattern to one of a plurality of types based on the random number (random 3) for variation pattern determination When it is determined that the pattern display table (FIGS. 10A and 10B) or the variation display result is “out of”, the random number for determining the variation pattern according to the determination result of the variation pattern type Based on (Random 3), a deviation variation pattern determination table (FIG. 11) to be referred to for determining one of a plurality of variation patterns is stored, and these tables are stored. Variation pattern is determined based on the respective random number.

  FIG. 8A is an explanatory diagram showing a probability variation big hit A variation pattern type determination table 132a. The probability variation jackpot A variation pattern type determination table 132a, when it is determined that the variation display result is a jackpot symbol, according to the determination result of the jackpot type, the variation pattern type, the random number for variation pattern type determination It is a table that is referred to in order to determine one of a plurality of types based on (Random 2).

  The probability variation big hit A variation pattern type determination table 132a is a numerical value (determination value) to be compared with a random number (random 2) value for variation pattern type determination, and includes normal CA3-1 to normal CA3-2, super A determination value corresponding to any one of the CA3-3 variation pattern types is set.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, the number of determination values is set so that the number of determination values of super CA3-3 is larger than that of normal CA3-1 to normal CA3-2. When the probability variation big hit A is set, the super reach is determined as a large variation pattern.

  FIG. 8B is an explanatory view showing a variation pattern type determination table 132b for probability variation big hit B / small hit. The variation pattern type determination table 132b for the probability variation big hit B / small hit determines the variation pattern type when the probability variation big hit B and the small hit are determined in the determination of the hit type based on the random R and random 1, the variation pattern type determination. It is a table that is referred to in order to determine one of a plurality of types based on a random number (random 2) for use. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), when it is determined that the probability variation big hit B or the small hit is made, the fluctuation pattern without the pseudo-continuous effect is used as the fluctuation pattern type. A case is shown in which one of the special CA 4-1 including and the special CA 4-2 including a variation pattern accompanied by a pseudo-continuous effect is determined.

  In addition, in the probability variation big hit B, the determination values of 1 to 51 are assigned to the special CA4-1 including the variation pattern not accompanied by the pseudo-continuous production, whereas the variation pattern accompanied with the pseudo-continuous production is included. When the determination value of 52 to 251 is assigned to the special CA 4-2 and it is determined to be the probability variation big hit B, the special PG 2-2 including the normal reach B as the reach effect as the variation pattern, etc. Many variation patterns accompanying the production of the pseudo-ream are determined.

  In addition, in the fluctuation pattern of special PG2-2 including the reach effect of the normal reach B, the reach effect is performed, and after the effect that the reach is lost, the re-variation is performed twice, and the stop pattern As shown below, a combination of effect symbols (chance eye symbol) corresponding to probability variation big hit B and small hit which will be described later is displayed.

  In addition, regarding the small hit, depending on whether the gaming state at the time when it is determined to be the small hit is a high probability state or a low probability state, that is, whether or not the probability variation flag is set. The assignment of judgment values is different.

  Specifically, in the small hit at the time of high accuracy, the determination value of 1 to 51 is assigned to the special CA 4-1 including the variation pattern not accompanied by the pseudo-continuous effect, like the probability variation big hit B. On the other hand, when the determination value of 52 to 251 is assigned to the special CA4-2 including the variation pattern accompanied by the pseudo-rendition production, and it is determined to be a small hit at the high accuracy time, Many variation patterns with pseudo-continuous effects are determined as variation patterns.

  On the other hand, in the small hit at low probability, contrary to the probability big hit B, the judgment value of 1 to 201 is assigned to the special CA4-1 including the fluctuation pattern not accompanied by the pseudo-rendition. When the determination value of 202 to 251 is assigned to the special CA4-2 including the variation pattern accompanied by the pseudo-continuous effect, and it is determined to be a small hit at the low probability, the variation pattern As a reach effect, a lot of variation patterns accompanied by a slide effect such as special PG2-1 including normal reach A are determined.

  In addition, in the fluctuation pattern of the special PG 2-1 including the reach effect of the normal reach A, the reach effect is performed, and after the effect that the reach is lost, the slip variation is performed, which will be described later as a stop symbol. The combination of effect symbols (chance eye symbol) corresponding to the probability variation big hit B or the small hit is displayed.

  Thus, in this embodiment, in the case of the probability variation big hit B that shifts to the high-accuracy state, many variation patterns with the reach effect of the normal reach B and many variation patterns with the effect of the pseudo-ream are determined. In the case of small hits that do not shift to, fluctuations with normal reach A or streak effect are determined by determining many fluctuation patterns with normal reach A reach effect and slip change patterns without pseudo ream effect. When the gaming state of probability variation big hit B (the same as the gaming state of small hit) is implemented after the pattern is executed, it is highly likely that the probability variation big hit B that has shifted to the high probability state is generated for the player. So you can give a sense of expectation.

  In other words, when the probability variation big hit B or small hit occurs when the latent condition is satisfied, the variation pattern of the special PG 2-1 including the reach effect of the normal reach A as the variation pattern is shifted to the high probability (probability variation) game state. The variation pattern of the special PG2-2, which is determined more in the case of the small hit that does not shift to the high probability (probability variation) state than the probability variation large hit B, and the variation pattern of the special PG 2-2 including the reach effect of the normal reach B as the variation state It is determined more at the time of probability variation big hit B which shifts to the high accuracy (probability variation) state than at the small hit which does not shift to the (probability variation) state.

  In this embodiment, the type of variation pattern to be determined is different between the probability variation big hit B that shifts to the high accuracy state and the small hit that does not shift to the high accuracy state. Is not limited to this, and the variation pattern is selected and determined regardless of whether the probability variation big hit B that shifts to the high accuracy state or the small hit that does not shift to the high accuracy state. Also good.

  Further, in this embodiment, in the case of the small hit in the high-accuracy state, as in the case of the probability variation big hit B, a large number of variation patterns with pseudo-continuous effects are determined. When the small hit gaming state (the same as the gaming state of the probability variation big hit B) is performed after the execution of the game, the possibility that the subsequent gaming state is in the high probability state as with the probability variation big hit B Can give a sense of expectation that it is high.

  In this embodiment, in the case of the small hit in the high-accuracy state, as in the case of the probability variation big hit B, many fluctuation patterns with the reach effect of normal reach B and fluctuation patterns with the effect of the pseudo-ream are determined. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and even in the case of a small hit in the high-accuracy state, as in the case of the small hit in the low-accuracy state, the slip fluctuation without a pseudo-continuous effect is provided. Many special CA4-1, which are pattern types, may be determined.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the case of the probability variation big hit B or the small hit, a variation pattern different from the case of the probability variation big hit A is determined, and the super reach A to C is exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In the case of the probability variation big hit B or the small hit, the superfluous pattern is determined in addition to the normal reach B by determining the variation pattern similarly to the case of the probability variation big hit A. Reach A to C may be determined. In this case, after execution of the effects of super reach A to C, a combination of effect symbols corresponding to the probability big hit B and the small hit is derived as a display result.

  FIGS. 9A and 9B are explanatory diagrams showing the deviation variation pattern type determination tables A to B. FIG. The variation pattern type determination tables A to B for detachment include a plurality of types of variation pattern types based on a random number (random 2) for determining the variation pattern type when it is determined that the variation display result is a detachment symbol. It is a table that is referred to in order to determine any of the above.

  Each of the deviation variation pattern type determination tables A and B includes a numerical value (determination value) to be compared with a random number (random 2) value for variation pattern type determination, which is non-reach CA2-1 to non-reach CA2-. 3, a determination value corresponding to one of the variation pattern types of normal CA2-4 to normal CA2-6, super CA2-7, and super CA2-8 is set.

  As shown in FIGS. 9A to 9B, in this embodiment, in the case of a deviation, if the random pattern random number (random 2) value for determining the variation pattern type is 230 to 251, the game It can be seen that variable display with at least super reach (any one of super reach A, super reach B, or super reach C) is executed regardless of the state and the total number of pending storage.

  In the normal deviation variation pattern type determination table A135a shown in FIG. 9A, the non-reach PA1-0 (variation time 1.25 seconds) that is a variation pattern of ultrashort variation, or the variation pattern of shortening variation. Non-reach CA2-3 including non-reach PA1-2 (variation time 2.5 seconds) and normal CA2-6 including a variation pattern accompanied by two pseudo-continuations with shorter variation times than three pseudo-continuations In contrast, in the shortening variation pattern type determination table B135b for shortening, determination values of 100 to 199 are assigned to the non-reach CA2-3, and the pseudo-continuation 3 In place of the normal CA 2-5 including the fluctuation pattern with the production of the first time, the determination value is assigned to the normal CA 2-6 including the fluctuation pattern with the production of the pseudo-continuous two times. As a result, non-reach PA1-0 (variation time 1.25 seconds) and non-reach PA1-2 (variation time 2.5 seconds) having a short fluctuation time are determined. Is shortened more than usual, so that the number of fluctuations performed per unit time increases.

  The example shown in FIG. 9 shows a case where the common variation pattern type determination table B (for shortening) 135b is used for the case where the gaming state is the short-time state and the case where the total number of pending storages is 3 or more. However, a separate variation pattern type determination table for detachment may be used for a case where the time is short and a case where the total number of pending storages is 3 or more. Furthermore, a plurality of deviation variation pattern determination tables (tables with different ratios of determination values) corresponding to the total number of pending storages may be used as the variation pattern type determination table for loss of time.

  In this embodiment, the deviation variation pattern type determination table A135a used when the total number of pending storages is less than 3 and the deviation variation pattern type determination table B135b used when the total number of pending storages is three or more. Although an example using a type table is shown, it is not limited to that shown in this embodiment. For example, a separate deviation variation pattern type determination table may be provided for each value of the total pending storage number (that is, for the total pending storage number 0, for the total pending storage number 1, for the total pending storage number 2) , The deviation variation pattern type determination table for the total pending storage number 3, for the total pending storage number 4... May be used separately). Further, for example, a deviation variation pattern type determination table corresponding to a combination of a plurality of other values stored in the total number of pending storages may be used. For example, a deviation variation pattern type determination table for the total pending storage number 0-2, the total pending storage number 3, the total pending storage number 4,... May be used.

  Further, in this embodiment, a case is shown in which a plurality of deviation variation pattern type determination tables are provided according to the total number of pending storages. However, a deviation variation pattern type determination table according to the first and second pending storage numbers. A plurality of may be provided. For example, when the variable display of the first special symbol is performed, a deviation variation pattern type determination table prepared separately for each value of the first reserved memory number may be used (that is, the first reserved memory number). The deviation variation pattern type determination table for 0, for the first reserved memory number, for the first reserved memory number for 2, for the first reserved memory number for three, for the first reserved memory number for four, etc. Each may be used separately). Further, for example, a deviation variation pattern type determination table corresponding to a combination of a plurality of other values of the first reserved storage number may be used. For example, a deviation variation pattern type determination table for the first reserved memory number 0 to 2, the first reserved memory number 3, the first reserved memory number 4, and so on may be used. Even in this case, when the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number are large (for example, 3 or more), it may be configured such that a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with a short variation time is easily selected. .

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, a case where a common outlier variation pattern type determination table is used regardless of the current gaming state is shown. However, whether the current gaming state is a probability variation state or not is shortened. Depending on whether the state is the normal state or the normal state, a big hit variation pattern type determination table or a deviation variation pattern type determination table prepared separately may be used. Further, in this embodiment, when the total number of pending storages is 3 or more, the variation pattern of shortening variation is determined by selecting the shortening variation pattern type determination table for shortening shown in FIG. 9B. However, the total number of pending storages (the first number of pending storages or the number of second pending storages may be used) when the variation pattern of the shortening variation can be selected according to the current gaming state is shown. The threshold value may be different. For example, when the gaming state is the normal state, when the total number of reserved memory is 3 (or when the first reserved memory number or the second reserved memory number is 2, for example), The variation pattern type determination table for loss is selected so that the variation pattern of the shortened variation may be determined. When the gaming state is a short-time state or a probable variation state, the total number of pending storages is smaller 1 or 2 (Or, for example, even when the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number are smaller 0 or 1), the variation pattern type of shortening variation is selected by selecting the shortening variation pattern type determination table. It may be determined.

  FIGS. 10A and 10B are explanatory diagrams showing hit variation pattern determination tables 137 a to 137 b stored in the ROM 54. The hit variation pattern determination tables 137a to 137b determine the variation pattern according to the determination result of the big hit type or the variation pattern type when it is determined that the variation display result is “big hit” or “small hit”. This is a table that is referred to in order to determine a variation pattern as one of a plurality of types based on a random number (random 3). Each of the variation pattern determination tables 137a to 137b is selected as a usage table according to the determination result of the variation pattern type. That is, the hit variation pattern determination table 137a is selected as the use table in accordance with the determination result that the variation pattern type is any one of normal CA3-1 to normal CA3-2 and super CA3-3, and the variation pattern type is specially selected. The hit variation pattern determination table 137b is selected as a use table in accordance with the determination result indicating that either CA4-1 or special CA4-2 is selected. Each of the hit variation pattern determination tables 137a to 137b is a numerical value (determination value) to be compared with the random pattern random number (random 3) value according to the variation pattern type, and the variation display result of the effect symbol is Data (determination value) corresponding to any of a plurality of types of variation patterns corresponding to the case of “big hit” or “small hit” is included.

  In the example shown in FIG. 10A, the variation pattern type includes normal CA3-1, which is a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with only various normal reach, and variation including a variation pattern with normal reach C and a pseudo-ream. A case is shown in which the pattern type is classified into a normal CA 3-2 which is a pattern type and a super CA 3-3 which is a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with super reach. In the example shown in FIG. 10B, as the variation pattern type, the variation includes a special CA4-1 that is a variation pattern type that does not include a variation pattern that includes a pseudo-continuous effect, and a variation pattern that includes a variation pattern that includes a pseudo-continuous effect. A case where the pattern is classified into special CA4-2, which is a pattern type, is shown. In FIG. 10B, the variation pattern type may be divided according to the presence / absence of a specific effect such as the presence / absence of a reach effect or the presence / absence of a slide effect, instead of being classified according to the presence / absence of a pseudo-continuous effect. In this case, for example, the special CA 4-1 includes a special PG 1-1, a special PG 1-2, and a special PG 2-1, which are fluctuation patterns not accompanied by a pseudo-continuous effect that is a specific effect. What is necessary is just to comprise so that special PG1-3 and special PG2-2 with the effect of the pseudo | simulation series used as a specific effect may be included.

  FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing a deviation variation pattern determination table 138 a stored in the ROM 54. The outlier variation pattern determination table 138a is based on a random number (random 3) for determining a variation pattern according to the determination result of the variation pattern type when it is determined that the variation display result is “out of range”. It is a table referred to in order to determine any one of a plurality of types of variation patterns. The outlier variation pattern determination table 138a is selected as a usage table according to the determination result of the variation pattern type.

  In the deviation variation pattern determination table 138a of this embodiment, the super CA 2-7 does not have a determination value assigned to the variation pattern of the super PB 3-3 corresponding to the super reach C, whereas the super CA 2-8. Includes assignment of determination values to the variation pattern of the super PB 3-3 corresponding to the super reach C.

  That is, in this embodiment, when the variation pattern of super reach C is a variation display result that is normally determined at a high rate, the variation pattern type of super CA 2-8 is determined, and Since it is determined only when the random number for determining the variation pattern (random 3) is “997”, it is set to reach production with very high rarity (premium).

  Next, the operation of the effect control microcomputer 100 will be described. Various types of data such as a game history table shown in FIG. 12 and a stock coin count table shown in FIG. 13 are stored in the RAM of the effect control microcomputer 100.

  In the game history table of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, a game history (game history up to the end of the previous game) specified by analysis from a password input at the start of the game is stored. ”Data storage area and“ current game ”data storage area where game results after the password is entered are stored as needed.

  Among these, in the data storage area at the “game start”, common data that is common to sibling models (inheritance target models) for which game data can be inherited, and unique data that is specific to the model of the pachinko gaming machine 1 And data are stored separately. The common data includes the password entered at the start of the game, the level and experience that are common to other models other than the model (sibling models that can be used to transfer game data using a password, which will be described later) , Points used for obtaining a privilege, the number of acquired coins (gold, silver, bronze), the number of start times, the number of big hits (number of big hits A), and the total number of occurrences of the probability variation number. The unique data includes data such as the total number of occurrences of jackpot B and super reach C generated only in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the model, and the achievement / non-achievement of each mission. The data stored in the data storage area at the “game start” is held without being updated during the game.

  In this embodiment, the mission is execution of super reach C, which is a premium reach, execution of a predetermined number of start times or more, continuous number of probability variation big hits A, continuous number of probability variation big hits B, small hits, A plurality of missions such as the number of consecutive times are set, and data such as achievement / non-achievement of the mission is stored as specific data in association with the mission number assigned to the set mission.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the common data and unique data are also stored in the data storage area of “current game”, and the level, experience value, points, and number of acquired coins in the common data. (Gold, silver, bronze), total number of start-ups, big hits (big hits A) and probability of change, total number of big hits B and super reach C in specific data, and achievement / non-achievement of each mission, etc. The update of data is started in response to the input of a password, so that each data in the game after the password is input is aggregated.

  That is, each time a predetermined condition is achieved, an experience value is added, and every time the experience value reaches a predetermined value, 1 is added to the level, and the given number of points is added to the point, and each time a variable display is performed 1 is added to the total number of starts, 1 is added to the total jackpot number every time a big hit A is generated, and 1 is added to the total probability change number every time a probability change state occurs after the big hit A or big hit B occurs, Every time a big hit B is generated, 1 is added to the total number of big hits B, and every time a super reach C is generated, 1 is added to the total number of super reach C. Each time a mission is completed, the data of the corresponding mission number is obtained. Updated from unachieved to achieved. The point is given when a predetermined grant condition is established, and the level is updated (up) when the experience value reaches a predetermined value or when a predetermined level-up condition is achieved. In the present embodiment, the level is used, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a “title” or “class” may be used.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the game history table stores the data storage area at the time of “game start” in which the game history up to the previous game specified by the analysis of the password is stored, and the game result of the game. By providing a separate data storage area for the “current game” that will be aggregated, at the end of the game, the data storage area for the “current game” will be referred to as described later to determine whether the game will win or lose. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the data storage area of “current game” may not be provided separately, but may be updated by adding to the data of “at the start of game”. .

  The data stored in the data storage area at the time of “game start” and the data stored in the data storage area of “current game” are aggregated when the two-dimensional code is output, and the two-dimensional code is output. The game history data at the end of the game is specified, and the two-dimensional code including the game history data at the end of the specified game and the password input at the start of the game is output.

  In the stock coin count table of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, 1 is added every time various stock coins are given in the game, so that the stock coins (gold, silver) owned by the player are increased. , Copper) stock number is memorized. Note that the number of stock coins is reset in response to the input of a password or the output of a two-dimensional code, and is valid only for the player who is playing the game, and is also reset when a predetermined time elapses from the start of the game.

  In addition, the ROM in the production control microcomputer 100 stores a coin granting condition table in which granting conditions for granting various types of coins (“gold coins”, “silver coins”, “copper coins”) are stored, and a roulette described later. Roulette effect determination table (FIG. 19) for determining execution / non-execution of production, various determination tables (FIG. 24) for determining execution / non-execution of suggestion effect, roulette effect and suggestion effect, etc. An effect control pattern used for various effects is stored.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an effect control main process executed by the effect control microcomputer 100 as effect control means mounted on the effect control board 80. In the effect control main process, the effect control CPU 120 starts executing the main process when the power is turned on. In the main processing, first, initialization processing is performed for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, and initializing a timer for determining the activation control activation interval (for example, 2 ms) (step S701). .

  Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 executes a random number update process for updating the counter value of the counter for generating a predetermined random number (step S702). Then, the timer interrupt flag is monitored (step S703). If the timer interrupt flag is not set, the process proceeds to step S702. When a timer interrupt occurs, the effect control CPU 120 sets a timer interrupt flag in the timer interrupt process. If the timer interrupt flag is set, the effect control CPU 120 clears the flag (step S704), and executes the effect control processing of steps S705 to S709.

  In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 120 first analyzes the received effect control command and performs a process of setting a flag according to the received effect control command (command analysis process: step S705).

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs main menu display processing (step S706) for displaying the main menu screen in FIG. 26B, and processing according to operation acceptance of each menu displayed on the main menu screen. Level coin related processing (step S708) for executing operation processing (step S707), processing related to level up, processing related to granting coins (three types of gold, silver, and copper) that are rights to receive item grants, etc. ) Or effect control process (step S709).

  In the effect control process (step S709), the process corresponding to the current control state (effect control process flag) is selected from the processes corresponding to the control state, and display control of the effect display device 9 is executed.

In this embodiment, by performing the output of the input and bar code password, player, the game information, such as rendering parameters and levels and jackpot number of varied by performing a game, which is the other identical model It can be handed over to pachinko machine 1 and brothers of pachinko machines.

  Specifically, by selecting the password input from the menu screen shown in FIG. 26B and inputting the password issued by the management server 900, the level changed by the game, the total number of starts, and the total number of jackpots It is possible not only to use the same model but also sibling models (models to be inherited) to take over the game history such as.

  As described above, the password is model information that can identify the model, common data common to the same model such as level and number of jackpots, and siblings, the number of jackpots B, the number of times of reach unique to the model, the mission, etc. Binary data including unique data unique to each model is converted into a symbol string of a predetermined length (16 characters in this embodiment) associated with the binary data in a predetermined array.

  The menu screen shown in FIG. 26B is displayed on the effect display device 9 by performing the main menu display process (step S706) described above.

  In this main menu display process, the production control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the number of reserved memories is 0 based on the data stored in the first reserved memory number storage area and the second reserved memory number storage area. When the number of reserved memories is 0, it is determined whether or not the variation display is being performed based on whether or not the effect control process flag is a value corresponding to the variation pattern designation command reception waiting process.

  If the number of reserved memories is not 0, or if the number of reserved memories is 0 and the variable display is being performed, it is determined whether or not the menu operation process is being performed in the main menu operation process. If not, the process is terminated. On the other hand, if the menu operation process is being performed, that is, if the number of pending storages is not 0 or the variable display is being displayed during the menu operation process, The menu operation process ends, and the process ends.

  In other words, if there is a pending storage number, or if there is a variable display even if there is no pending storage number, that is, if there is a possibility that a presentation display or the like is executed in the fluctuation display device 9, Since the menu screen of FIG. 26 (b) is not displayed after the menu processing is finished, it is avoided that the display of these menu screens or the display by the menu selection in the menu screen causes troubles in presentation display. In addition, when the menu operation process is being executed, a game is executed and there is a reserved memory number, or if the variable memory is displayed even if there is no reserved memory number, the game is being executed. When the menu operation process is completed, there is no problem in the effect display or the like.

  When the number of reserved storage is 0 and the variable display is not being performed, it is determined whether or not the menu screen shown in FIG. 26B is already being displayed. If the menu screen is being displayed, When the menu screen continues to be displayed and the menu screen is not displayed, for example, a long press operation in which the push button 516 is pressed continuously over a period of 1 second or longer is performed. It is determined whether or not. The determination of the presence or absence of the long press operation is performed by setting a 1-second determination timer that is reset by releasing the push button 516 at the start of the operation of the push button 516, for example. What is necessary is just to judge by whether it did.

  In the demo screen of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 26A, a message “A menu screen is displayed when a button is pressed and held” is displayed at the bottom of the display screen. The player is informed (guided) that the menu screen can be displayed by long-pressing.

  When the player presses and holds the push button 516 to display the menu screen, after the menu screen of FIG. 26B is displayed on the effect display device 9, the operation lever 600 or The selection of the menu item by operating the push button 516 is performed in the main menu operation process described above.

  On the menu screen, as shown in FIG. 26B, menu items of “password input”, “two-dimensional code output”, “end”, and “easy start” are displayed. In the main menu operation process, it is determined which menu is selected by tilting the operation lever 600 and operating the push button 516 on the menu screen.

  Specifically, on the menu screen, the operation lever 600 is tilted to the left to move to the left menu item, and the operation lever 600 is tilted to the right to move to the right menu item. The lever 600 is tilted upward to move to the upper menu item, and the operation lever 600 is tilted downward to move to the lower menu item. Then, the menu item that is highlighted is selected by operating the push button 516.

  When the push button 516 is operated in a state where “End” is highlighted as a menu item, or when the push button 516 is pressed for a predetermined time or longer, an end confirmation screen in which “YES” and “NO” can be selected. Is displayed (not shown), and the operation lever 600 and the push button 516 are operated on the completion confirmation screen, and “YES” is selected from “YES” and “NO”, and the basic screen (before the menu screen is displayed) is displayed. Normal screen) is displayed.

  When the “password input” menu is selected, a password input screen shown in FIG. 26C is displayed, and password acceptance is performed.

  In the password input screen of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 26C, the character moves by operating the operation lever 600, and the character displayed in front is selected by operating the trigger switch 512a. Is done.

  Further, on the password input screen of this embodiment, every time one character is selected, the next character can be selected. Further, by operating the trigger switch 512a in a state where “return one character” is displayed in the foreground, the previous character can be selected again. When a 16-character password is selected, the password is determined by moving to the determination column and operating the push button 516 in a state where characters other than “return one character” are displayed in front.

  Then, whether or not the entered password is a legitimate password is authenticated. If the entered password is authorized, a password entry OK screen (not shown) is displayed and the password is analyzed. Thus, each data of the game history is specified and stored as corresponding data in the storage area of “Game Disclosure” in the game history table, and the aggregation of the game history to “Current Game” is started. Note that the password entry OK screen is switched to the menu screen when the push button 516 is operated or a time determined for each screen elapses. In the case of these regular passwords, a password input flag and a specific effect mode flag are set.

  On the other hand, if the password is not authenticated as a regular password, a password entry NG screen (not shown) is displayed. The password input NG screen also switches to the menu screen when the push button 516 is operated or a time determined for each screen elapses.

  Also, when the “Simple Start” menu is selected by the player on the main menu screen, unlike the case of entering the password, the player cannot take over the previous game history, but the player , Including game history, current level, experience value, number of coins earned, stage setting (excluding model information and latest information), achievement history, etc. Can be output from the pachinko gaming machine 1. When these “easy start” menus are selected, a specific effect mode flag is set.

  As shown in FIG. 27A, when the “two-dimensional code output” menu is selected, a game history output process in the main menu operation process is executed.

  At this time, the effect control CPU 120 adds each data accumulated in the storage area of “current game” in the game history table shown in FIG. 12 to each corresponding data stored in the storage area of “game start”. Then, the game history at the end of the game is specified, and the game history at the end of the specified game (the point at the end of the game, the number of coins acquired, the level, the experience value, the number of starts, the number of jackpots, the number of chances of change, the jackpot B The two-dimensional code including data such as the number of times and missions) and the password entered at the start of the game stored in the game history table is displayed and output as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram showing a coin acquisition specification and a stock coin stock specification in this embodiment.

  FIG. 15A shows a coin acquisition specification when a password is input. In this embodiment, for example, when winning a jackpot, one gold coin, one silver coin and one copper coin are awarded with a probability of 100%. In addition, every time the variable display is executed 2000 times, any one of gold, silver, and copper coins is given with a probability of 100%. However, the probability that a coin of a good color (copper → gold or silver, silver → gold) will be increased as the number of times of variable display increases.

  Also, when a mission is completed, coins are awarded with a probability of 100% according to the level of the achieved mission. For example, when a high level mission is achieved, one gold, one silver and one copper coin is awarded. In addition, when a mission in the level is completed, any two coins of gold, silver, and copper are awarded, and when a mission of a low level is achieved, any one of the coins of gold, silver, and copper is awarded. Is done. In addition to the acquisition of coins between such games, as will be described in detail later, when a predetermined condition is satisfied at the end of the game, coins are awarded to the player.

  Further, when the mission of high level and medium is achieved, a coin to be given is added on condition that there is a stock coin described later. In this case, for example, when a mission of a high level is achieved, any two of gold, silver, and copper coins are added, and when a mission during the level is achieved, any of gold, silver, and copper coins is given. One additional card is added.

  In this embodiment, the advantage of coin acquisition conditions differs between when a password is entered and when "Easy Start" is selected, and "Easy Start" is selected when a password is entered. Coins can be gained more advantageously than if

  Each time these coins are given, or each time the experience level reaches a predetermined value, the level rises, and a coin or a two-dimensional code for acquiring the level is displayed. Instead, a special character image may be displayed as a privilege image on the gaming machine.

  FIG. 15B shows a coin acquisition specification when “easy start” is selected. For example, when winning a jackpot, one gold coin, one silver coin and one copper coin are awarded with a probability of 50%. In addition, every time the variable display is executed 2000 times, any one of gold, silver, and copper coins is given with a probability of 50%. However, the probability that a coin of a good color (copper → gold or silver, silver → gold) will be increased as the number of times of variable display increases.

  Also, at the time of mission completion, coins are awarded with a probability of 50% according to the level of the mission completed. For example, when a high level mission is achieved, one gold, one silver and one copper coin is awarded. In addition, when a mission in the level is completed, any two coins of gold, silver, and copper are awarded, and when a mission of a low level is achieved, any one of the coins of gold, silver, and copper is awarded. Is done. In addition to the acquisition of coins between such games, as will be described in detail later, when a predetermined condition is satisfied at the end of the game, coins are awarded to the player.

  In addition, when a mission of high level and medium is achieved, a coin to be given is added on condition that there is a stock coin. In this case, for example, when a mission of a high level is achieved, any two of gold, silver, and copper coins are added, and when a mission during the level is achieved, any of gold, silver, and copper coins is given. One additional card is added.

  When a coin is awarded to the player, the acquisition data (data indicating the number of acquired gold, silver, and copper coins) in the stock coin number table is updated according to the content.

  FIG. 15C shows a stock coin stock specification. For example, when winning a jackpot, one of gold, silver and copper coins is stocked with a probability of 100%. Further, every time the variable display is executed 100 times, any one of gold, silver, and copper coins is stocked with a probability of 20%.

  When a new coin is stocked, the data in the stock coin number table is updated (added) according to the content.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the level / coin related processing executed by the effect control CPU 120. First, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the current control state is the specific effect mode based on the password input or simple start being set (step S2601). In other words, in this embodiment, the level / coin related processing is executed for each variable display. As a result, when it is determined that the specific effect mode is not set (step S2601; NO), the effect control CPU 120 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S2614. Whether or not it is the specific effect mode can be specifically determined by confirming whether or not the specific effect mode flag is set.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the mode is the specific effect mode (step S2601; YES), that is, if the game is started by inputting a password or if “easy start” is selected and the game is started, The effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not a predetermined achievement condition is satisfied (step S2602). These achievement conditions may be, for example, a case where a predetermined presentation is performed and a big hit is made, and different experience values given according to the number of variable displays after the game is started are determined. It ’s fine. As a result, when the achievement condition is not satisfied (step S2602; NO), the effect control CPU 120 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S2607.

  On the other hand, when the achievement condition is satisfied (step S2602; YES), the production control CPU 120 updates the experience value and the history of the achievement mission according to the achievement condition (step S2603). The effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the updated experience value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value corresponding to the level (in this example, 10 experience values regardless of the level) (step S2604). As a result, when the experience value is not equal to or greater than the predetermined value (step S2604; NO), the effect control CPU 120 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S2607.

  On the other hand, when the experience value is equal to or greater than the predetermined value (step S2604; YES), the production control CPU 120 increases the level as much as possible (increases the level value) based on the experience value (step S2605). Then, the effect control CPU 120 subtracts the value for the increased level from the experience value (step S2606). For example, when the level is increased by 2, 20 experience values (10 experience values × 2) are subtracted.

  In step S2607, the effect control CPU 120 updates other game histories (total start count, jackpot count, probability change count, etc.). Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the above-described coin acquisition conditions (see FIGS. 15A and 15B) are satisfied (step S2608). As a result, when the acquisition condition is not satisfied (step S2608; NO), the effect control CPU 120 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S2614.

  On the other hand, if the acquisition condition is satisfied (step S2608; YES), the effect control CPU 120 checks whether or not the game is started by inputting the password (step S2608A). Note that whether or not the game is started when a password is input can be specifically determined by confirming whether or not a password input flag is set. If the password is input and the game is started, the effect control CPU 120 selects a password determination coin determination table as a coin determination table for determining whether or not to acquire a coin (step S2608B). . On the other hand, unless the password is input and the game is started (that is, if “Easy Start” is selected), the effect control CPU 120 determines a coin to determine whether or not to acquire a coin. As a table, a coin determination table for password non-input is selected (step S2608C).

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 performs lottery processing based on random numbers using the coin determination table selected in steps S2608B and S2608C, and executes lottery processing according to the established condition (step S2609). In this case, if the game is started after the password is input, a coin is awarded according to the acquisition probability shown in FIG. 15A using the password input coin determination table selected in step S2608B. Then it is decided. On the other hand, if the game is started with “Easy Start” selected, according to the acquisition probability shown in FIG. 15B, using the coin determination table for password non-input selected in step S2608C. It is decided to give a coin.

As a result of the lottery process in step S2610, when the lottery is not won (step S2610; NO), the effect control CPU 120 advances the process to be executed to the process in step S2614. On the other hand, when the lottery is won (step S2610; YES), the production control CPU 120 uses the acquired data stored in the acquired coin area allocated to the RAM 55 according to the winning result (the type and number of coins). Update (step S2611).

  In addition, when the established acquisition condition is level high, medium mission achievement, and there is a stock coin (one type of coin is sufficient), as described above, additional coins are additionally given. The At that time, the effect control CPU 120 subtracts the additional coins from the stock coins. However, in the stock coin, if there are no additional coins of the same type as the added coins, the number of coins of that type in the stock coin is set to 0 (in the case of 0 originally, 0) It will remain as it is.)

  In step S2614, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not a stock condition (see FIG. 15C) for adding (stocking) stock coins is satisfied. As a result, when the stock condition is not satisfied (step S2614; NO), the effect control CPU 120 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S2616. On the other hand, when the stock condition is satisfied (step S2614; YES), the effect control CPU 120 executes a lottery process (stock lottery process) for stocking coins (step S2615).

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the stock lottery process is executed on the condition that a bonus is won or 100 games are consumed (except for a game in a bonus state). In the example shown in FIG. 15C, the winning probability is set to 20% when 100 games are consumed, but the winning probability may be changed according to the current stock coin contents. . For example, when the total number of coins in the stock coin is 15 or less, the winning probability may be higher than in the case of 16 or more.

  As a result of the stock lottery process, when the lottery is not won (step S2616; NO), the effect control CPU 120 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S2616. On the other hand, when the lottery is won (step S2616; YES), the production control CPU 120 updates the data stored in the stock coin table described above according to the winning result (the type and number of coins) (step S2617). ).

  In step S2618, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 20 hours) has elapsed since the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 was turned on. As a result, if the predetermined time has not elapsed since the power was turned on (step S2616; NO), the effect control CPU 120 returns the process to be executed to the process of the caller of the level coin related process. In this embodiment, in step S2618, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 was turned on. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Rather, when the CPU 120 for effect control is activated when the power is turned on, the effect control CPU 120 sets a time counter corresponding to a predetermined time, and the time counter is counted up (predetermined time). It may be determined that a predetermined time has passed when the time elapses.

  On the other hand, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the power was turned on (step S2616; YES), the effect control CPU 120 executes a lottery process (stock coin data reset lottery process) for resetting stock coin data. (Step S2619). In this process, first, the stock coin table is cleared, and the content of the value is different (that is, the combination of gold, silver, and copper is different). Determine the data. The effect control CPU 120 stores the determined stock coin data in the stock coin table (step S2620). Then, the effect control CPU 120 returns the process to be executed to the process of the caller of the level / coin related process.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the effect control process (step S709) in the effect control main process shown in FIG. In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a roulette effect process (step S809; see FIG. 18).

  In this embodiment, the form in which the roulette effect process is executed at the beginning of the effect control process process is exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at the beginning of the effect symbol variation start process (step S801). You may make it implement. In this case, in the roulette effect process, it becomes necessary to determine whether or not it is the start timing of the variable display (determination in step S716 described later), and the process can be simplified.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs any one of steps S800 to S807 according to the value of the effect control process flag. In each process, the following process is executed. In the effect control process, the display state of the effect display device 9 is controlled, and the effect symbol variation display is realized, but the control related to the effect symbol variation display synchronized with the variation of the first special symbol is also the second. Control related to the change display of the effect symbol synchronized with the change of the special symbol is also executed in one effect control process. It should be noted that the effect symbol variation display synchronized with the first special symbol variation and the effect symbol variation display synchronized with the second special symbol variation may be executed by separate effect control process processing. Good. Further, in this case, it may be determined which special symbol variation display is being executed depending on which representation control process processing is performing the variation display of the representation symbol.

  Fluctuation pattern command reception waiting process (step S800): It is confirmed whether or not a variation pattern command has been received from the game control microcomputer 560. Specifically, it is confirmed whether or not the variation pattern command reception flag set in the command analysis process is set. If the change pattern command has been received, the value of the effect control process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the effect symbol change start process (step S801).

  Production symbol variation start processing (step S801): Control is performed so that the variation of the production symbol is started. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol changing process (step S802).

  Production symbol variation processing (step S802): Controls the switching timing of each variation state (variation speed) constituting the variation pattern and monitors the end of the variation time. When the variation time ends, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol variation stop process (step S803).

  Effect symbol variation stop processing (step S803): Control is performed to stop the variation of the effect symbol and derive and display the display result (stop symbol). Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot display process (step S804) or the variation pattern command reception waiting process (step S800).

  Winning display process (step S804): After the end of the fluctuation time, control is performed to display a screen for notifying the effect display device 9 of occurrence of a big hit or a small hit. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the in-round processing (step S805).

  In-round processing (step S805): Display control during round is performed. If the round end condition is satisfied, if the final round has not ended, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the post-round processing (step S806). If the final round has ended, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot end process (step S807).

  Post-round processing (step S806): Display control between rounds is performed. If the round start condition is satisfied, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the in-round process (step S805).

  Winning end effect process (step S807): In the effect display device 9, display control for notifying the player that the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state has ended is performed. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the variation pattern command reception waiting process (step S800).

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the roulette effect processing executed in step S809 of FIG. In the roulette effect process, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether or not a roulette effect execution flag indicating that the roulette effect is being executed is set (step S711).

  When the roulette effect execution flag is set in step S711 (that is, when the roulette effect is being executed), the effect control CPU 120 measures the roulette effect effect period. The value of -1 is decremented (step S712). When the value of the roulette effect timer becomes 0 (step S713), the roulette effect is ended (step S714). Further, the effect control CPU 120 resets the roulette effect executing flag (step S715).

  If the roulette effect executing flag is not set, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the fluctuation start timing is reached (step S716). Note that whether or not it is the variation start timing can be specifically determined by confirming whether or not the value of the effect control process flag is a value corresponding to the effect symbol variation start process. If it is not the fluctuation start timing, the process is terminated as it is.

  If it is the fluctuation start timing, the production control CPU 120 specifies whether or not the big hit is won and the fluctuation pattern (step S717). Whether or not the big hit is won is determined by the probability change big hit in the display result designation command sent from the main board 31 for specifying the fluctuation display results (disconnected, probability variation big hit A, probability variation big hit B, small hit). It can be specified by checking whether or not A is specified. In this embodiment, the object of determination in step S717 is only the probability variation big hit A, but the probability variation big hit B may also be included.

  The variation pattern can be specified by a variation pattern designation command transmitted from the main board 31 for designating the variation pattern.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the change pattern specified in step S717 is a change pattern having a change time in which the roulette effect can be executed, specifically, normal reach or super reach with a long change time. It is determined whether or not the pattern is a variation pattern (not shown).

  If the variation pattern is not a normal reach or super reach variation pattern capable of executing the roulette effect, and if it is not the variation start timing in step S716, the roulette effect process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the variation pattern is a normal reach or super reach variation pattern capable of executing a roulette effect, it is confirmed whether or not there are additional coins (step S718). Whether or not there is an acquired coin can be specifically determined by checking the acquired data in the game history table updated in step S2611 of the level / coin related process.

  If there is an acquired coin, the CPU 120 for effect control confirms whether or not the game is started by inputting the password (step S719). Note that whether or not the game is started when a password is input can be specifically determined by confirming whether or not a password input flag is set.

  When the password is input and the game is started, the effect control CPU 120 is set with a coin informed flag indicating that there is an acquired coin in the roulette effect that has been executed previously. It is confirmed whether or not (step S719X). If the coin informed flag is not set (that is, if it is not informed that there is still an acquired coin), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the big hit in step S717 is won. Then, a roulette effect determination table for coin notification (FIG. 19A) is selected as a roulette effect determination table for determining the presence and type of the roulette effect (step S720).

  On the other hand, if there is no earned coin (N in step S718), if the game is not started after a password is entered (N in step S719), or if the coin notification flag is set (step S718) In step S719X (Y), the CPU 120 for effect control uses a coin notification as a roulette effect determination table for determining the presence and type of the roulette effect according to the result of specifying whether or not the big win is won in step S717. A roulette effect determination table for the absence (FIG. 19B) is selected (step S721).

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 performs a lottery process based on a random number using the roulette effect determination table selected in steps S720 and S721, and determines the presence and type of the roulette effect (step S722).

  In step S722, the effect control CPU 120 determines, for example, the presence and type of the roulette effect (which notification result is used) using the roulette effect determination table shown in FIG. FIG. 19A shows a roulette effect determination table for no coin notification. FIG. 19B shows a roulette effect determination table for coin notification.

  The roulette effect determination table for no coin notification shown in FIG. 19 (A) corresponds to not executing the roulette effect according to each of the case where the jackpot is won and the case where the jackpot is not won. A determination value, a determination value corresponding to executing the roulette effect (×), and a determination value corresponding to executing the roulette effect (◯) are set. In addition, in the roulette effect determination table for coin notification shown in FIG. 19B, a determination value corresponding to executing the roulette effect (coin) is also set. In the roulette effect determination table, at least a determination value corresponding to executing the roulette effect may be set. FIG. 19 shows the number of determination values, not the determination value itself.

  Note that the roulette effect (×) is a roulette effect that informs that the player has not won a big hit and has not acquired coins (hereinafter also referred to as “outlier effect result”). In addition, the roulette effect (◯) is a roulette effect that informs that the jackpot is won. The roulette effect (coin) is a roulette effect that informs that a coin has been acquired. In this embodiment, when the roulette effect (coin) is determined, the roulette is displayed with all the “O” and “X” options displayed as options (in this embodiment, each square of the roulette). A roulette effect in which the sphere is rotated is executed, and as a result of the effect, it appears that the sphere is temporarily stopped on the “x” option, and the “x” option is switched to the “coin” option. The effect of the aspect is executed (see FIG. 20).

  In the present embodiment, the sphere is stopped and displayed on the “x” option, and then the “x” option is switched to the “coin” option. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, the “x” option may be switched to the “coin” option before the sphere is stopped and displayed on the “x” option. Further, the degree of expectation of switching to the “coin” option may be different depending on the timing at which the “x” option switches to the “coin” option.

  By executing the above processing, in this embodiment, when a game is started by inputting a password, if there is an acquired coin, a roulette effect determination table for coin notification is selected in step S720. By executing the process of step S722, the roulette effect (coin) may be determined and it may be notified that there is an acquired coin in the roulette effect. In the present embodiment, even if the game is started by inputting a password, if there is no earned coin, the roulette effect determination table for no coin notification is selected in step S721, and the process of step S722 is performed. By executing, either the roulette effect (◯) or the roulette effect (×) is executed, and the roulette effect (coin) is not executed.

  In this embodiment, the mode of choices (○, x, coins) displayed in the roulette effect is the same regardless of which of the roulette effect (◯), the roulette effect (×), and the roulette effect (coin) is determined. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a roulette effect (○) is determined, a roulette with many “○” options is displayed, When a roulette effect (coin) is determined, a roulette with different options is displayed according to the type of the determined roulette effect, such as displaying a roulette with many “coin” options. Also good.

  In addition, it may be set as a mission achievement condition that the performance of these roulette effects (○) is executed, and an effect suggesting whether or not to achieve the mission by executing these roulette effects (○) It may be implemented in the same manner as the Super Reach C mission.

  In the present embodiment, even if there is an acquired coin, if “Easy Start” is selected and a game is started, a roulette effect determination table for no coin notification is selected in step S721, and in step S722. Although the roulette effect (○) or the roulette effect (×) is executed by executing the process and the roulette effect (coin) is not executed, the present invention illustrates this. As described above, whether or not “Easy start” is selected and the game is started (if the password is not in the specific effect mode) is set. If it is determined in step S719 that a simple start is selected and a game is started, an individual roulette corresponding to the simple start By using the outgoing decision table to determine the presence and type of roulette effects, even when “Easy Start” is selected and the game is started, the rate is lower than when a password is entered. A roulette effect (coins) may be executed.

  Further, when the game is started without entering a password and without selecting “Easy Start”, there is no case of acquiring coins, so it is always determined as N in step S718, and no coin notification is made in step S721. When the roulette effect determination table is selected and the process of step S722 is executed, either the roulette effect (◯) or the roulette effect (×) is executed, and the roulette effect (coin) is executed. Absent.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not it has been determined to execute the roulette effect in step S722 (step S723). If the roulette effect is not executed, the process is terminated as it is. When it is determined to execute the roulette effect, the effect control CPU 120 selects effect control data for executing the roulette effect corresponding to the type of the roulette effect determined in step S722 (step S724).

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 sets a value corresponding to the time corresponding to the determined roulette effect pattern in the roulette effect timer (step S725). Then, the effect control CPU 120 starts the roulette effect according to the effect data selected in step S724 (step S726) and sets the roulette effect executing flag (step S727).

  In addition, if the roulette effect (coin) is determined as the type of roulette effect (Y in step S728), the effect control CPU 120 sets a coin notification flag (step S729). In this embodiment, when the processing of steps S719X, S728, and S729 is executed to notify that there is an acquired coin in the roulette effect, the earned coin is duplicated in the roulette effect that is executed thereafter. It is prevented that a certain thing is reported. These set coin notification completion flags are reset when the acquired data is updated due to the acquisition of a new coin in step S2611 described above. The coin notification flag may be reset when a roulette effect (coin) is determined.

  FIG. 20 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a specific example of the effect form of the roulette effect in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, the roulette effect is displayed in a variable area on the effect display device 9 by displaying the effect image of the roulette effect in a predetermined area in the upper right corner toward the effect display device 9. In addition, the roulette effect is executed separately from the effect accompanying the variable display. In the example shown in FIG. 20, a case where a roulette effect (coin) is executed is shown as an example. When it is determined that a new variation display is started and a roulette effect is to be executed, as shown in FIG. 20 (1), “O” and “X” options are displayed in a predetermined area of the effect display device 9. (In the example shown in FIG. 20, a roulette image including “◯” and “x” is displayed in each square of the roulette) is displayed. Next, as shown in FIG. 20 (2), the roulette effect is started by starting the effect of rotating the roulette ball together with a display suggesting the start of the roulette effect such as “Roulette Chance!”. The

  Next, when it becomes the notification timing of the effect result, as shown in FIG. 20 (3), the effect that the ball once enters the square of “×” is executed, and the effect result of the roulette effect is out of place. A production like that is executed. Then, as shown in FIG. 20 (4), it is notified that there are earned coins by performing an effect in which the square in which the ball has entered changes from “×” to “coin”.

  In the example shown in FIG. 20, the case where the roulette effect (coin) is executed is shown. However, in the case where the roulette effect (◯) is executed, the “○” in FIG. An effect such as entering a ball is executed, and the ball is confirmed and displayed in a state where a ball enters the “○” square. In addition, when executing the roulette effect (×), in FIG. 20 (3), the effect of entering the square of “×” is executed, and the square of the entered “×” changes. Without confirmation, the display is confirmed with a ball in the “×” square.

  Further, in this embodiment, when a roulette effect (coin) is executed, as shown in FIG. 20, regardless of whether the type of earned coin is gold, silver or copper, ”Is displayed to notify that there is an acquired coin, but is not limited to the notification mode shown in the present embodiment. For example, by displaying “Gold Coin”, “Silver Coin”, “Copper Coin”, etc., or by changing the display color of “Coin”, the type of earned coin is either gold, silver or copper This may be reported in an identifiable manner. Also, for example, the number of acquired coins may be displayed in an identifiable manner by displaying a number together with “coin”.

  In this embodiment, once the processing of steps S719X, S728, and S729 is performed and it is once informed that there are coins acquired in the roulette effect, the roulette effect (coin) is displayed in the roulette effect that is executed thereafter. Although it is prevented that it is not selected and it is notified that there are duplicate acquired coins, it is not limited to such a processing mode. For example, even if it is once notified that there are earned coins in the roulette effect, if a new earned coin is subsequently generated, it is notified that there is an earned coin in the roulette effect to be executed after that, You may comprise so that it can recognize that the acquired coin generate | occur | produced. In this case, for example, a number may be displayed together with the display of “coin”, and the increase in earned coins may be notified.

  Further, in this embodiment, even when the jackpot is won, it may be determined that the roulette effect (coin) is executed based on the presence of the acquired coin. In this case, FIG. In the manner shown, it is informed that there are coins earned in the roulette effect (in other words, the fact that winning the jackpot will not be notified in the roulette effect), It may be configured so that both the presence and the earned coins can be notified. In this case, for example, in the roulette effect in the roulette manner as shown in FIG. It is also possible to notify that there are earned coins in such a manner that the dice that have entered the ball change from “◯” to “coin” or “coin” is displayed together with “◯”.

  In the roulette effect (coin) of the present embodiment, as described above, the effect of entering the first “x” square is executed, and the entered “x” square is “coin”. However, the present invention is not limited to this, as shown in FIG. 21 (1). When a roulette with a “coin” grid is displayed from the start of the roulette effect, and the effect of rotating the roulette ball is started, the roulette effect is started and the notification result of the effect is reached. As shown in 21 (3), it may be notified that there is an acquired coin by executing an effect in which the ball enters the first “coin”.

  As shown in FIG. 21, in the case where a roulette having “coin” squares is displayed from the start of the roulette effect, a password that is likely to be given a coin is set (password input flag). Is set), a roulette that has more “coin” eyes than when “Easy Start” is set, which is harder to receive coins than when password settings are implemented. By displaying and executing the roulette effect, the player may be notified (appeal) that coins are easily awarded. In other words, when a game is started with a password entered or when a simple start is selected and a game is started, a roulette with the “X” changed to “coin” is displayed. What is necessary is just to perform roulette production.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the effect symbol variation start process (step S801) in the effect control process shown in FIG. In the effect symbol variation start process, the effect control CPU 120 first reads a variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (step S821). The variation pattern designation command is a command for designating a variation pattern determined at the start of variation in the special symbol process, and is a command for designating which variation pattern of the variation patterns shown in FIG. 5 is to be executed. is there.

  Next, the display result of the effect symbol (stop symbol) is determined according to the data stored in the display result specification command storage area (that is, the received display result specification command) (step S822). In this case, the CPU 120 for effect control determines the stop symbol of the effect symbol according to the display result specified by the display result specifying command, and stores data indicating the stop symbol of the determined effect symbol in the effect symbol display result storage area To do.

  In this embodiment, when the received display result designation command is the display result 2 designation command corresponding to the probability variation jackpot A, the production control CPU 120, for example, produces an effect in which 3 symbols are arranged in odd symbols as stop symbols. The combination of symbols (big hit symbol) is determined. Further, when the received display result designation command is a display result 3 to 8 designation command corresponding to the probable big hit B or small hit, a plurality of combinations of symbols (for example, preset symbols as chance chances) “135”, “334”, “787”, etc.). Further, when the received display result designation command is a display result 1 designation command corresponding to an outage, a combination of production symbols (out-of-order symbols) in which the three symbols are irregular as the stop symbols is determined. It should be noted that some combinations of effect symbols are included in both the lost symbol and the chance eye, and there are cases where the same stop symbol is used in the case of the small hit and the case of the loss.

  In determining these stop symbols, the effect control CPU 120 uses, for example, a stop symbol determination table in which random numbers for determining stop symbols are extracted, and data indicating combinations of effect symbols and numerical values are associated with each other. Thus, the stop symbol of the production symbol may be determined. That is, the stop symbol may be determined by selecting data indicating the combination of effect symbols corresponding to the numerical value matching the extracted random number. Therefore, the same stop symbol may be determined in the probability variation big hit B and the small hit.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs the suggestion effect determination process shown in FIG. 23, and whether or not to implement the suggestion effect indicating whether or not the mission is achieved by becoming the super reach C for the variable display. Is determined (S823).

  Specifically, in the suggestion effect determination process according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not there is a password setting, that is, the password is input and the game is started. It is determined whether it is a case (step S830). Specifically, whether or not the game is started after the password is input can be determined by confirming whether or not the password input flag is set.

  If there is a password setting (Y in step S830), the process advances to step S837 to set a password setting determination table (not shown).

  On the other hand, if there is no password setting (N in step S830), it is determined whether or not there is a simple start setting, that is, whether or not the game is started by inputting the simple start ( Step S831). Whether there is an easy start setting, that is, whether or not the game is started by inputting the easy start, confirm that the specific effect mode flag is set and the password input flag is not set Can be determined.

  If there is an easy start setting (Y in step S831), the process proceeds to step S836 to set a simple start determination table (not shown).

  If there is no simple start setting (N in step S831), the process proceeds to step S832, and a determination table for setting not shown is set.

  As described above, after various determination tables are set in step S832, step S836, and step S837, the process proceeds to step S833A, and the variation display result and variation pattern of the variation display are specified. The variation display result and variation pattern of the variation display may be specified based on the display result designation command and the variation pattern designation command as described above in step S717.

  Next, a random number for suggestion effect determination is extracted and suggested according to the change display result and the change pattern based on the specific result in step S833A using the various determination tables set in step S832, step S836, and step S837. Decide whether or not to produce the performance.

  Then, the process proceeds to step S834, where it is determined whether execution of the suggestive effect has been determined. If the execution has not been determined, the process ends. If execution has been determined, the process proceeds to step S835. Proceeding and setting the suggestion effect execution flag, the process ends.

  FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating the ratio at which execution / non-execution of the suggestion effect is determined in step S833.

  FIG. 24A is a diagram showing the determination ratio when the password setting determination table is set in step S837.

  In the determination ratio based on the password setting determination table, as shown in FIG. 24A, the variation pattern in the variation display specified in step S833A is the variation pattern of the super reach C and the variation of the super reach A and B. The determination ratio is set to be different between the pattern and the normal reach variation pattern. In addition, when the variation display result in the variation display specified in step S833A is the probability variation big hit A, that is, when the probability variation big hit A is won and when each variation pattern is “out of”, The decision rate is set to be different.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 24A, when the variation display result is a probable large hit A, “execute” is determined at a rate of 99% when the variation pattern is Super Reach C. % Is determined not to be executed. In the case of the fluctuation pattern super reach A and B, “execute” is determined at a rate of 60%, and “not execute” is determined at a rate of 40%. When the fluctuation pattern is normal reach, “execute” is determined at a rate of 40%, and “do not execute” is determined at a rate of 60%.

  On the other hand, when the variation display result is “out of”, when the variation pattern is Super Reach C, “execute” is determined at a rate of 20% and “not execute” is determined at a rate of 80%. . When the variation pattern is Super Reach A or B, “execute” is determined at a rate of 10%, and “not execute” is determined at a rate of 90%. When the fluctuation pattern is normal reach, “execute” is determined at a rate of 2%, and “do not execute” is determined at a rate of 98%.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 24 (a), regardless of the fluctuation display result (probability big hit A, “out”), the determination rate of “execute” is the fluctuation pattern of super reach C> super reach A and B. The variation pattern> normal reach variation pattern is set in this order, and the execution ratio of the suggestive effect is high when the mission target super reach C variation pattern.

  In addition, for any variation pattern, the determination rate when the variation display result is a probable big hit A is set to be higher than the determination rate when the variation display result is “out of”. Even if the fluctuation pattern (super reach C, super reach A, B, normal reach), when the suggestion effect is executed, the change display result can be a probable big hit A when the suggestion effect is not executed. The nature (expectation) is getting higher.

Similarly, a decision proportion by determination table for easy start, as shown in FIG. 24 (b), the variation pattern in the variable display identified in step S833A, super reach C, super reach A, B, in normal reach In some cases, the decision rate is set to be different. Further, when the variation display result in the variation display specified in step S833A is a probability variation jackpot A, that is, when the probability variation jackpot A is won, and when the variation display result is “out of place”, The determination rate of each variation pattern is set to be different.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 24B, when the fluctuation display result is a probable big hit A, when the fluctuation pattern is Super Reach C, “execute” is determined at a rate of 90%. “Do not execute” is determined at a rate of 10%. When the fluctuation pattern is super reach A or B, “execute” is determined at a rate of 50%, and “do not execute” is determined at a rate of 50%. When the fluctuation pattern is normal reach, “execute” is determined at a rate of 30%, and “do not execute” is determined at a rate of 70%.

  On the other hand, when the variation display result is “out of”, when the variation pattern is Super Reach C, “execute” is determined at a rate of 15% and “not execute” is determined at a rate of 85%. . When the variation pattern is Super Reach A or B, “execute” is determined at a rate of 5%, and “not execute” is determined at a rate of 95%. When the fluctuation pattern is normal reach, “execute” is determined at a rate of 1%, and “do not execute” is determined at a rate of 99%.

  That is, even when the determination is made using the simple start determination table, as shown in FIG. 24B, the determination ratio of “execute” is the fluctuation pattern of the super reach C regardless of the fluctuation display result. > Change pattern of super reach A and B> Change pattern of normal reach is set in this order, and the execution ratio of the suggestive effect is high when the change pattern of the super reach C is the mission target. .

  In addition, for any variation pattern, the determination rate when the variation display result is a probable big hit A is set to be higher than the determination rate when the variation display result is “out of”. Even if the fluctuation pattern (super reach C, super reach A, B, normal reach), when the suggestion effect is executed, the change display result can be a probable big hit A when the suggestion effect is not executed. The nature (expectation) is getting higher.

  Further, even in the determination ratio based on the determination table for no setting, as shown in FIG. 24C, the variation pattern in the variation display specified in step S833A is super reach C, super reach A, B, and normal reach. In some cases, the decision rate is set to be different. Further, when the variation display result in the variation display specified in step S833A is a probability variation jackpot A, that is, when the probability variation jackpot A is won, and when the variation display result is “out of place”, The determination rate of each variation pattern is set to be different.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 24C, when the variation display result is a probable variation big hit A, “execute” is determined at a rate of 50% when the variation pattern is Super Reach C. “Do not execute” is determined at a rate of 50%. When the fluctuation pattern is super reach A or B, “execute” is determined at a rate of 30%, and “do not execute” is determined at a rate of 70%. When the fluctuation pattern is normal reach, “execute” is determined at a rate of 20%, and “do not execute” is determined at a rate of 80%.

  On the other hand, when the variation display result is “out of”, when the variation pattern is Super Reach C, “execute” is determined at a rate of 5% and “not execute” is determined at a rate of 95%. . When the variation pattern is Super Reach A or B, “execute” is determined at a rate of 1%, and “do not execute” is determined at a rate of 99%. When the fluctuation pattern is normal reach, “execute” is determined at a rate of 0%, and “do not execute” is determined at a rate of 100%.

  That is, even when the determination is made using the determination table for no setting, as shown in FIG. 24C, the determination ratio of “execute” is the fluctuation pattern of the super reach C regardless of the fluctuation display result. > Change pattern of super reach A and B> Change pattern of normal reach is set in this order, and the execution ratio of the suggestive effect is high when the change pattern of the super reach C is the mission target. .

  In the case of no setting, a predetermined value such as a coin or a privilege may not be given. In this case, the suggestion effect may not be executed.

  In addition, for any variation pattern, the determination rate when the variation display result is the probability variation jackpot A is set to be higher than the determination rate when the variation display result is not the probability variation jackpot A. Even if the fluctuation pattern (super reach C, super reach A, B, normal reach), when the suggestion effect is executed, the change display result can be a probable big hit A when the suggestion effect is not executed. The nature (expectation) is getting higher.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the suggestion effect is determined by the determination ratio for the non-reach variation pattern in any of the determination table for password setting, the determination table for easy start, and the determination table for no setting. Since there is no assignment, the suggestive effect is not executed when the fluctuation pattern is a non-reach, but is executed only when super reach or normal reach occurs, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the suggestion effects may be executed at a lower rate than when super-reach or normal reach occurs even in the non-reach fluctuation pattern.

  In the present embodiment, although the determination ratio is not assigned to the non-reach variation pattern in the determination table, the suggested effect is not executed when the variation pattern is a non-reach variation pattern. The present invention is not limited to this, and it is determined whether or not the variation pattern specified in step S833A is a non-reach variation pattern in the suggestion effect determination process of FIG. 23 (step S833A ′). If the determination result is a non-reach variation pattern (Yes in step S833A ′), the suggestion effect determination process may be terminated so that the suggestion effect is not executed for the non-reach variation pattern. .

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24, an example is shown in which a suggestion effect is executed even when the variation display result is “out of” or the variation pattern is other than Super Reach C. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the suggestion effect may be executed at a predetermined rate only when the variation display result is the probability variation big hit A and the variation pattern is the super reach C. good. In other words, when the suggestion effect is executed, the mission may be always achieved as Super Reach C and the probability variation big hit A may be obtained.

  In the present embodiment, when the variation display result is a combination of the probable big hit B and the small hit effect symbols, as shown in FIG. 5, since the super reach C is not performed, it is excluded from the target of the suggested effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the super reach C may be performed even when the probability variation big hit B or the small hit is small. As with the big hit A, the probability variation big hit B and the small hit may be added to the target of the suggestion effect.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the determination ratio in each case (when a password is set, when easy start is set, or when no password is set) is determined when a password is set> easy start. If it is set> If no password is set, it is easier to perform the suggestive effect when the password is set than when the password is set. If the setting is set, it is easier to execute the suggestion effect than when there is no setting, and whether or not the suggestion effect is easily executed can generate a super reach C that can achieve the mission. As well as the possibility of a big hit, you can enter a password or set up a simple start. It is possible to the motivation to start the work.

  The determination ratio shown in FIG. 24 is an example, and other determination ratios may be set as long as the same tendency as the above-described tendency can be obtained.

  FIG. 25 is a diagram showing a presentation aspect of the suggestion effect in the present embodiment. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25 (A), at the start of the fluctuation, a super reach C, which is a premier reach that is the mission achievement condition in the fluctuation, may occur, and the mission may be cleared. Is displayed as a special character and a message of the special character (FIG. 25A).

  Then, after the fluctuation display advances and a reach state occurs (FIG. 25B), an effect in which the special character and the enemy character are fighting, which is the effect of the super reach C set in the mission achievement condition, is executed. (FIG. 25C). Even if the suggestion effect shown in FIG. 25 (A) is implemented, it may be super reach A or super reach B instead of super reach C, or it may be normal reach (see FIG. 19).

  Also, FIG. 25 shows an example in which a special character and enemy character, which are the effects of Super Reach C, are executed, and the special character and the enemy character are won to become a probable big hit A (FIG. 25D). However, even if Super Reach C is produced, the special character may lose the enemy character (see FIG. 19).

  In this embodiment, as Super Reach C ends and the stop symbol is derived and displayed, as shown in FIG. 25D, the mission is cleared and the mission is cleared. Depending on the situation, a message indicating that predetermined digital content (digital controller) is granted as a privilege is displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the message is not displayed. Also good.

  Returning to FIG. 22, after the suggestion effect determination process in step S <b> 823, the effect control CPU 120 selects an effect control pattern (process table) corresponding to the variation pattern designation command. Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (step S826).

  At this time, the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not execution of the suggestion effect has been determined in the suggestion effect determination process in step S823, and if execution of the suggestion effect is determined, Select an effect control pattern (process table) that includes the effect control content of the suggested effect, and if the execution of the suggested effect is not determined, select an effect control pattern (process table) that does not include the effect control content of the suggested effect To do.

  In addition to the suggested performances, it is a big hit, a super reach, a big hit with a lot of balls (a large number of rounds), or a hit with a large number of fluctuations controlled to a probable state or a short time state. Various notice effects may be executed for notifying the event, and in this case, an effect control pattern (process table) including the effect control contents of the notice effect for which execution has been determined may be selected. . In the process table, display control execution data for controlling the display of the effect display device 9, lamp control execution data for controlling lighting of each LED, and sound control for controlling sound output from the speaker 27 Execution data, operation control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 516 and the operation lever 600, and the like are sequentially arranged in time series in association with each process data n (from No. 1 to N). Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (step S826).

Next, the production control CPU 120 performs the production device (the production display device 9 as the production component and the production component) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1). Control of the various lamps and the speaker 27 as an effect component and the operation unit (push button 516, operation lever 600, etc.) is executed (step S827). For example, a command is output to the VDP 109 in order to display an image according to the variation pattern on the effect display device 9. In addition, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp driver board 35 in order to perform on / off control of various lamps. In addition, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the sound control board 70 in order to perform sound output from the speaker 27.

  In this embodiment, the production control CPU 120 controls the production pattern to be displayed in a variation pattern corresponding to the variation pattern designation command in a one-to-one manner, but the production control CPU 120 performs the variation pattern designation. The variation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of types of variation patterns corresponding to the command.

  Then, a value corresponding to the variation time specified by the variation pattern designation command is set in the variation time timer (step S828). Further, a predetermined time is set in the fluctuation control timer (step S828 +). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 writes the image data indicating the display state of the left, middle, and right effect symbols in the VRAM every time the predetermined time elapses, and the image data in which the VDP is written in the VRAM. Is output to the effect display device 9, and the effect display device 9 displays an image corresponding to the signal, thereby realizing the change in effect design. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the effect symbol changing process (step S802) (step S829).

  Here, the management server 900 as an example of a management apparatus will be described. The management server 900 is configured by a general server computer including a CPU, a RAM, and the like, and can be accessed from the portable terminal 901 via the Internet. It manages game history and issues passwords.

  The management server 900 includes a player database for managing player information, a game history database for registering each game history, and a privilege database for storing privilege data given to the player.

  The player database can identify each player individually, and is issued to the player in association with a terminal ID (SIM data) uniquely assigned to the portable terminal 901 used by the player. Stores various data such as password, points, level, total start count (common data), total jackpot count (common data), total probability variation count (common data), big hit B count (unique data), mission (proprietary data), etc. Has been.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 30, the game history database is input in the game of the game corresponding to the terminal ID (SIM data) of the mobile terminal 901 owned by the player who played the game and the game date and time. Password, points given in the game, level at the end of the game, number of starts in the game, number of big hits in the game, number of positive changes in the game, number of big hits B in the game, mission, etc. Is stored.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the privilege database stores privilege data storage locations, types of privilege data, types of conditions for granting privileges, and condition values of corresponding types, as shown in FIG. Yes. As the type of condition, the number of points, level, specific missions by Premier Reach such as Super Reach C, mission achievement rate, number of starts, number of big hits, number of probable changes, etc. can be set, and the condition value according to the type Can be set.

  In this embodiment, in the game history database, the number of points stored in association with the terminal ID possessed by the player is stored in the privilege database in association with digital content (digital control) benefits such as wallpaper and character images. If the conditions, the number of points, and the number of earned coins are exceeded, the player can download and acquire a wallpaper, a character image, or the like as a privilege from the management server 900 on the portable terminal 901. In other words, the player can obtain a privilege with the missions and points and coins acquired in the game.

  Next, operations of the management server 900 and the pachinko gaming machine 1 when issuing a password and playing a game on the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 28, when a new password issuance request is made from the portable terminal 901, the management server 900 identifies the terminal identification information registered in the player database as the terminal identification information of the portable terminal that issued the issuance request. It is determined whether or not the information matches the information, and if there is no matching terminal ID (terminal identification information), the mobile terminal 901 is notified that the issuance is impossible. As described above, when there is no matching terminal ID (terminal identification information), a predetermined registration page may be distributed to prompt usage registration.

  On the other hand, if the terminal ID of the portable terminal 901 that issued the request matches the terminal ID registered in the player database, the game history such as the level corresponding to the terminal ID, the total number of starts, the total number of jackpots, etc. Get history information from the player database and issue a password.

  The password is generated by a procedure reverse to the predetermined password analysis procedure. First, history information such as the level of the corresponding terminal ID, the total number of startups, the total number of jackpots, and the like are acquired, and a 96-bit value is created based on the acquired data (history information). At this time, 60 bits are allocated for common data and 36 bits are allocated for unique data.

  Next, the created 96-bit value is divided every 6 bits and replaced with decimal numbers, and the replaced value is replaced with characters based on the password analysis table, thereby generating a 16-character password.

  Next, it is determined whether or not it matches the password registered in the corresponding terminal ID of the player database, that is, the previously issued password, and if it matches, it does not match the previous password in the procedure described above. The password is generated again until it is determined.

  The management server 900 issues a password that does not match the previous password as described above, transmits the password to the mobile terminal 901 that issued the request, and corresponds to the terminal ID of the mobile terminal that issued the issue request in the player database. Update the password to be used this time.

  When the password is issued in response to the password issuance request, the issued password is displayed on the portable terminal 901, and the player inputs the displayed password to the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the pachinko machine 1 in which the password is input, the input password is analyzed as described above, and when the password is authenticated, the level specified by the password, the experience value, the number of points, the number of coins acquired, the total start The history information such as the number of times, the total number of jackpots, the mission, etc. is reflected in each data in the storage area of “at the start of the game” in the game history table of the pachinko gaming machine 1, so that the level managed by the management server 900, It is possible to play a game by taking over history information such as experience value, number of points, number of acquired coins, total number of starts, total number of big hits, mission, etc. At this time, the input password is also stored in the game history table.

  Then, when the player finishes the game and selects “2D code output” from the menu screen shown in FIG. 26B, the password and game history data stored in the game history table, that is, Level, experience value, number of points, number of acquired coins, total number of starts, total number of big hits, total number of probable changes, mission, etc. are acquired, and 2D code is generated from these data and URL indicating the location of the update page And displayed on the effect display device 9, and the game history table is initialized.

  The player reads the two-dimensional code displayed on the portable terminal 901, and makes an update request including the game history analyzed from the two-dimensional code, the password, and the terminal ID of the portable terminal 901 to the management server 900. The game history acquired by the two-dimensional code can be reflected in the player database of the management server 900.

  When an update request is made from the mobile terminal 901, the management server 900 determines whether or not the terminal ID of the mobile terminal that has made the update request matches the terminal ID registered in the player database. If there is no terminal ID, the mobile terminal 901 is notified that the update is impossible.

  On the other hand, when the terminal ID of the portable terminal 901 that made the update request matches the terminal ID registered in the player database, the password specified from the update request is changed to the terminal ID specified from the update request. The password is checked against the password registered in the player database. If the password specified from the update request matches the password registered in the player database, the player who has issued the password is authenticated, and if the authentication is OK, the update is performed. Based on the game history specified from the request, the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal ID in the player database is updated, and the game specified from the update request in association with the terminal ID and the game date / time (current date / time data) After registering the history in the game history database, the mobile terminal 901 that made the update request is notified of the update completion.

  On the other hand, if the authentication result is authentication NG, the password matching status is determined. It is determined whether or not the matching status is a difference of one character before and after in the array when a password is input. Note that the difference in one character before and after the arrangement at the time of password input is one character before and after the password input screen shown in FIG. 26C. For example, if the regular password is “Z”, Corresponds to “Y” and “=”.

  And if only one of the characters is a difference other than the difference of one character before and after, that is, if two or more characters are different or the difference is one character, but not one character before and after, update The mobile terminal 901 is notified of this as impossible.

  On the other hand, if only one of the characters is different by one character before and after, the player is authenticated as a player who has issued a password, and the game history specified from the update request Based on this, the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal ID in the player database is updated, and the game history specified from the update request is registered in the game history database in association with the terminal ID and the game date and time (current date and time data). Thereafter, the mobile terminal 901 that has made the update request is notified of the update completion.

  At this time, instead of updating all the items corresponding to the corresponding terminal ID in the player database based on the game history specified from the update request, the total start count, total jackpot count, total probability change count, jackpot Only specific items that do not affect the continuity of the game history, such as the number of times B and the mission, are updated, and items that affect the continuity of the game history, such as levels and experience values, are not updated. In addition, in the notification of update completion, it is also notified that the passwords did not match completely but were in the range of input errors, so that only some items that did not affect continuity were updated. To do.

  Next, operation | movement of the management server 900 at the time of providing a privilege is demonstrated based on FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 29, when a privilege is obtained from the mobile terminal 901, the privilege grant page of the management server 900 is first accessed from the mobile terminal 901. Then, a privilege request including the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 901 is transmitted to the management server 900 on the privilege grant page.

  When a privilege request is made from the portable terminal 901, the management server 900 determines whether the terminal identification information of the portable terminal 901 that has made the privilege request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player table of any model. If there is no matching terminal identification information, the mobile terminal 901 is notified that the request is not possible.

  On the other hand, when the terminal identification information of the portable terminal 901 that has made the privilege request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player table of any model, it is based on the terminal identification information specified from the privilege request. Obtaining the player's game history from the player table of the corresponding model, and extracting the player's game history from the game history table of the corresponding model based on the terminal identification information specified from the privilege request, In addition, the game history registered in correspondence with the unique ID registered in the extracted game history specifies the number of start times, the number of probability variation jackpots, the total number of earned coins, and totals information related to the privilege granting conditions , Specify information related to conditions for granting benefits such as whether or not to clear a specific mission and the number of points.

  Next, the grant conditions of the benefit table for the corresponding model are compared with the aggregated and identified information (data), the privilege data satisfying the grant conditions are extracted, the benefit list is created, and the benefit request is made Deliver to the terminal 901.

  When a desired privilege is selected from the privilege list on the portable terminal 901 that has acquired the privilege list, data indicating the selected privilege type is transmitted to the management server 900. In response, the management server 900 corresponds to the privilege type. The privilege data is extracted from the storage location of the privilege data to be distributed, the extracted privilege data is distributed to the portable terminal 901 that is the source of the privilege request, and the player who has made the privilege request based on this acquires the privilege data. .

  Further, the terminal identification information of the player is registered in association with the privilege data once given to the player, and thereafter, the privilege already granted from the portable terminal 901 having the same terminal identification information. Data is not given over again.

  As described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment, since the suggestion effect serving as the second suggestion effect in the present invention suggesting the provision of the privilege (digital controller) which is the predetermined value in the present invention is executed, the privilege (digital controller). The expectation for granting can be maintained. In addition, while maintaining the expectation for the granting of these benefits (digital controllers), the target of the suggestion production is a premium super reach C with high reliability, which is a big hit, so these super reach C become a big hit. The expectation that it may become can also be maintained.

  Further, according to this embodiment, when the effect of the super reach C that is the first suggestion effect of the present invention is executed when the suggestion effect is executed, the super reach C when the suggestion effect is not executed. Since the expectation level (reliability) that is a big hit is higher than when the production of the game is executed, it is possible to make the player pay more attention to whether or not the suggested production is executed, so the pachinko machine 1 You can improve your interest.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, when a password for outputting a two-dimensional code capable of specifying a game history (game related information) or a simple start is not set, the predetermined value of the present invention is obtained. Since no coin is given, it is possible to motivate the player to set a password for outputting a two-dimensional code and set a simple start.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the result of the roulette ball entering the “○” or “×” square indicating whether or not the coin (advantageous value) is given as the result of the effect (result of suggesting the possibility of advantage) ) Or a roulette effect that gives a notice of the result of the roulette ball entering the first corner of the “coin” suggesting that a coin (predetermined value) has been granted (privilege suggestion result) (3 suggestion effect) is executed, it is possible to improve the interest related to the provision of coins (predetermined value) to the player who has set a password for outputting a two-dimensional code and a simple start setting. it can.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, from the result of the roulette ball entering the square of “×”, which is the non-advantageous game suggestion result in the present invention, the square of “x” containing the roulette ball has a predetermined value. Since the effect of switching to the first side of the “coin” that is the assignment suggestion result is executed, the notification mode of the roulette effect (the third suggestion effect) that suggests that the coin (predetermined value) has been given is given an unexpectedness. The player has an interest in giving a coin (predetermined value) to a player who has set a password or a simple start setting to output a two-dimensional code that can specify a game history (game related information). Further improvement can be achieved.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, as shown in the modification of FIG. 21, when a game is started by inputting a password, it is compared with the case where a game is started by selecting “Easy Start”. Then, a roulette effect in which the ball rotates the roulette in a mode that includes more options of “coins” and notifies the result of the effect of “coin”, so a notification mode of the roulette effect (third suggested effect) Interest in giving coins (predetermined value) to a player who sets a password for outputting a two-dimensional code that can specify a game history (game-related information). Can be further improved.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the form in which the suggestion effect is implemented at the start of the variation is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the effect subject to the mission is a promotion effect, etc. In the case of an effect that suggests giving to the probability variation state executed during the big hit state, the suggested effect of accomplishing these missions is executed at a predetermined timing before the effect during the big hit is executed. If the production that is the subject of the mission is a production that suggests whether or not the probability variation state that is executed in the short-time state is given, the suggested production of the achievement of these missions It may be executed at a predetermined timing before the performance in the state is executed.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, the presence / absence and type of the roulette effect is determined according to whether the special symbol is a big hit or lose, but the present invention However, the present invention is not limited to this, and these may be determined according to whether the normal symbol is a big hit or a loss as shown in FIG. In this case, in the roulette effect, the contents displayed on the screen are not “○” or “×”, but “open” or “non-open” indicating that the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is released because the normal symbol is a big hit. "May be displayed.

  In addition, in FIG. 31, the determination ratio of each production type and the determination ratio of the presence / absence of the execution of the roulette effect are the same as those in FIG. 19 which is a special symbol, but the present invention is not limited to this. These determination ratios may be changed as appropriate.

  In addition, in these roulette productions, “○” and “×”, which are options that suggest the possibility of a special symbol being a big hit, are not the ones that target only one of the special symbols or the ordinary symbols. Display a roulette that includes “open” and “non-open” options that suggest the possibility of becoming a special symbol, and simultaneously suggest the possibility that a special symbol will be a big hit and a normal symbol A roulette effect that can be performed may be executed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the management server 900 is used as the management unit. However, the management server 900 is not essential. For example, the management of the game history is performed on the mobile terminal (instead of the management server 900). Mobile phone) 901 may be implemented, and in this case, the mobile terminal (mobile phone) 901 constitutes the management means of the present invention.

  That is, it is possible to configure a gaming system, a gaming machine, and a management means by variously combining the configurations shown in the embodiments. FIG. 32 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a combination pattern of configurations in the gaming system.

  As shown in FIG. 32, in the gaming system shown in the above embodiment, (1) the gaming machine outputs a two-dimensional code, (2) the gaming machine gives a coin (either gold, silver or copper), (5) The server determines four items, and (6) the server grants items.

  And the combination pattern of the component of (1)-(6) shown in FIG. 32 can consider the modification 1 and the modification 2 shown in FIG. 32 other than what was shown in the said Example. For example, the gaming system shown in Modification 1 includes four components (1), (2), (4), and (6) among the components (1) to (6). In addition, the gaming system shown in Modification 2 includes four components (1), (3), (5), and (6) among the components (1) to (6).

  In addition, each component of the gaming system shown in the above-described embodiment is a configuration that should provide at least a two-dimensional code on the pachinko gaming machine 1 side, and a configuration that provides items should be provided on the management server 900 side Except for the configuration, it may be provided on either the pachinko gaming machine 1 side or the management server 900 side.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which displays a two-dimensional code at the end of a game was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, For example, when the mission is cleared, the privilege which is a predetermined value is acquired. For this purpose, a two-dimensional code in which the URL to be accessed is symbolized may be displayed.

  Moreover, although the said Example has illustrated the form which determines the super reach C which is premium production | regulation irrespective of the presence or absence of the input of a password, or the selection of a simple start, this invention is limited to this If there is no password input or easy start selection, that is, if the game history is not set to be stored, only super reach A and B can be executed, and super reach is a premium effect. C cannot be executed, and only when the password is input or the easy start is selected, that is, when the setting is made to accumulate the game history, the super reach C as the premium effect is executed, and the super reach C is executed. A privilege corresponding to the mission clear by executing may be given.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which gives the privilege (digital controller) which becomes predetermined value by the management server 900 by mission clear by execution of super reach C was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this. In addition, by clearing these missions, the predetermined number of coins and points that can be exchanged for benefits can be granted, so that a desired privilege corresponding to the number of coins and points earned by the player can be obtained. Anyway.

  The predetermined value of the present invention is not limited to a privilege (digital controller), coins, or points. For example, the mission clear condition includes a predetermined premier notice effect, for example, a big hit (probable big hit B). In the case where an effect of notifying that it is certain that the game will be performed is to be executed, it is to notify whether or not the gaming state after the big hit is a latent state (highly accurate low base state). May be. In addition, when a predetermined value is given by notifying whether or not these are in a latent state (highly accurate low base state), not only in the gaming machine, but also in a latent state (highly accurate low base state). 2D code for informing whether or not it is in a state), and reading the 2D code with a predetermined application program (application) stored in the mobile terminal (mobile phone) 901 The mobile terminal (mobile phone) 901 implements notification by the mobile terminal (mobile phone) 901, that is, the mobile terminal (mobile phone) 901 gives a predetermined value by notifying whether or not it is a latent state (highly accurate low base state). It may be a thing.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the embodiment which grants the digital control which is a privilege is implemented in the management server 900, this invention is not limited to this, The grant of these privileges is mentioned above. In the same manner as informing whether or not the state (highly accurate low base state), the gaming machine transmits predetermined data to the portable terminal (mobile phone) 901 by infrared communication or the like, so that the gaming machine A value may be directly added.

  That is, in the gaming system of the present invention, the predetermined value providing means may be provided in the gaming machine, may be provided in the mobile terminal (mobile phone) 901, or the management server 900 as management means. May be provided.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the jackpot gaming state in which the player can acquire a lot of game media is illustrated as an advantageous value, but the present invention is not limited to this, and these advantageous values are, for example, A high-accuracy state or a short time state in which the probability of winning a big hit may be higher than usual. In the case of a slot machine 1001, which will be described later, a replay time (RT) state in which a winning frequency of a replay role increases or a small role is won. It may be an ART or the like in a replay state in which an operation mode for making it informed.

  In the above embodiment, the first suggestion effect is exemplified as the super reach C. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first suggestion effect is notified as described above. It may be an effect, may be a promotion effect during a big hit, as described above, or may be an effect that informs whether or not it is in a highly accurate state during a short time state. In addition, the second suggestion effect may be an effect that directly suggests that a predetermined value is given, for example, an effect that a coin or a privilege (digital controller) is given, or a predetermined value is given. For example, if the mission achievement condition is 10 jackpots, the mission achievement condition is reached by reaching 10 jackpots. It may be an effect that it may be.

  In the present invention, the mission is a condition imposed on the player to obtain a predetermined value (coin or digital control (privilege)), and the condition is a predetermined effect (reach effect or notice effect (other than changing) )) Is performed. The mission that is the target of the suggestive effect is a mission that mainly relates to the provision of an advantageous value (whether it is a win or an advantage), that is, a mission that involves the provision of an advantageous value such as a win. However, there may be a mission that is not related to the provision of the advantageous value, for example, a mission with 1000 times of variable display.

  The advantageous value is a value that is advantageous to the player in playing the game, and it is a big hit, a normal symbol, a long opening time of the big prize opening door of the special variable winning ball device 20, Or, it is controlled to be a big hit that is advantageous due to a large number of open times, a probability variation state (high accuracy state) that increases the probability that a special symbol or a normal symbol will win, a high base state, or a high base state If the number of fluctuations is large, or the open period of the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is long or the number of times of opening is large, an advantageous high base state is obtained, and it is easy to execute notification or notification of the probability variation state. Etc. are exemplified as “giving an advantageous value”.

  In addition, the prescribed value is a value that does not change the advantage in playing a game, unlike the advantageous value, and customizes data (two-dimensional code and coins) and content for obtaining content such as images and music. It may be data for (changing effects, changing music), and these predetermined values are output (displayed) on the gaming machine without displaying the management server 900, or the gaming machine Those that are completely granted in the gaming machine by customizing (changing effects, changing music), etc. are also included.

  In the above, “the state where it is easy to execute the notification or notification that the state is surely changed” is illustrated as an advantageous value, but these “notification or notification that the state is surely changed” can be easily executed. “To be in a state” may be a predetermined value. That is, “being in a state where it is easy to execute notification or notification of the probability variation state” may be advantageous value or may be predetermined value. That is, the same value may be an advantageous value or a predetermined value.

  In addition, the target effect of the mission, which is the first suggestive effect of the present invention, suggests whether or not the above-described advantageous value is given, and the reach and the advance notice (the period of execution is changing) together with the target effect of these missions Or a big hit) is executed, a predetermined value is also given.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in order to notify the effect control CPU 120 of the change pattern indicating the change mode such as the change time, the type of reach effect, the presence / absence of the pseudo-ream, etc., one change pattern designation command is used when the change is started. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the variation pattern may be notified to the effect control CPU 120 by two or more commands. Specifically, in the case of notifying by two commands, the CPU 56 uses the first command to determine whether there is a pseudo-ream, a slide effect, etc. A command indicating the fluctuation time and fluctuation mode of the previous time is transmitted, and the second command has reached reach such as the type of reach and the presence / absence of a re-lottery effect (if it does not reach, after the so-called second stop) ) Command indicating the variation time and variation mode. In this case, the effect control CPU 120 may perform effect control in variable display based on the variable time derived from the combination of two commands.

The CPU 56 may notify the change time by each of the two commands, and the effect control CPU 120 may select a specific change mode to be executed at each timing. When two commands are sent, the two commands may be transmitted within the same timer interrupt. After the first command is transmitted, a predetermined period elapses (for example, the next timer interrupt). The second command may be transmitted. Note that the variation mode indicated by each command is not limited to this example, and the order of transmission can be changed as appropriate. Thus, by notifying the variation pattern by two or more commands, the amount of data that must be stored as the variation pattern designation command can be reduced.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, a game ball is paid out as a prize to the player, and the player launches the paid game ball (which may be a rental ball) into the game area to play a game. 1 is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a frequency that is a game value of a size specified by record information of a game recording medium such as a prepaid card or a membership card is used. Then, a game score for use in the game is given, and the game ball enclosed in the game machine is driven into the game area by using the assigned game score or the game score given by winning the game. The present invention can also be applied to a gaming machine in which a player plays a game.

Moreover, in the said Example, although the pachinko gaming machine 1 is illustrated as a gaming machine, this invention is not limited to this, This invention is applied also to other gaming machines, such as a slot machine.

  The main CPU 1041a has an interrupt function (including an interrupt prohibition function) such as a timekeeping function and a timer interrupt, and executes a program (described later) stored in the ROM 1041b to perform various control processes related to the progress of the game. In addition, each part of the control circuit mounted on the game control board 1040 is controlled directly or indirectly. The ROM 1041b stores fixed data such as programs executed by the main CPU 1041a and various tables. The RAM 1041c is used as a work area when the main CPU 1041a executes a program. The I / O port 1041d inputs / outputs a control signal to / from each circuit connected via a signal input / output terminal included in the main control unit 1041.

  The main control unit 1041 is also supplied with backup power even during a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 1041c is held while the backup power is being supplied.

  The main CPU 1041a transmits various commands to the effect control board 1090 via the I / O port 1041d.

  An effect switch 1056 is connected to the effect control board 1090, and when the detection signal corresponding to each direction of the cross key in the effect switch 1056 is input, the effect control board 1090 is operated by the player. It is possible to grasp the specified direction according to presence / absence and operation.

An effect device such as an LED 1055 is connected, and these effect devices are driven based on control by a later-described sub-control unit 1091 mounted on the effect control board 1090.

  In this modification, the sub-control unit 1091 mounted on the effect control board 1090 controls the output of the effect devices such as the image liquid crystal panel 1051, effect effect LED 1052, speakers 1053, 1054, and reel LED 1055. However, an output control unit that directly controls the output of the effect device is mounted on the effect control board 1090 or another board separately from the sub control part 1091, and the sub control part 1091 is based on a command from the main control part 1041. The output pattern of the effect device may be determined, and the output control unit may control the output of the effect device based on the output pattern determined by the sub control unit 1091. In such a configuration, the sub control unit 1091 and the output are controlled. The output control of the effect device is performed by both of the control units.

  Further, in this modification, the image liquid crystal panel 1051, the effect effect LED 1052, the speakers 1053 and 1054, and the reel LED 1055 are illustrated as the effect devices, but the effect device is not limited to these, and is mechanically driven, for example.

In addition to performing various controls for performing the above, each part of the control circuit mounted on the effect control board 1090 is controlled directly or indirectly.

  The slot machine 1001 is activated when all the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R are stopped (in the case of this modification, since all the winning lines are always activated, The winning line is simply called a winning line), and a combination of symbols called “comb” is combined to win. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols. The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with payout of medals and a replay that can start the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There are a game combination and a special combination with a transition to a game state advantageous to the player. A small role and a replay role are collectively called a general role. In order to win each winning combination determined according to the gaming state, it is necessary to win an internal lottery to be described later and set a winning flag for the winning combination in the RAM.

  Of these winning flags, the winning flags for the small role and the replaying role are valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and are invalid in the next game. It is valid until a combination of combinations permitted by the flag is completed, and is invalid in a game having a combination of combinations permitted. In other words, once the special combination winning flag is won, even if the combination of the combinations permitted by the flag cannot be made, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  In the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not the above winning combination is permitted before the display results of all the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R are derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 1007 is detected). To do. In the internal lottery, first, when the start switch 1007 is detected, an internal lottery random value (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired. Specifically, the value of the random number storage work assigned to the RAM is set as the lottery work assigned to the RAM. Then, for each combination determined according to the gaming state and whether or not the special combination is carried over, the numerical data stored in the lottery work, the value of the gaming state flag for specifying the gaming state, the number of bets and the set value It is performed according to the number of judgment values of each combination determined according to

  In the internal lottery, an internal lottery target, a current gaming state flag value, an RT flag value, and the number of determination values determined corresponding to the set value are stored in a random number for internal lottery (a lottery work). When the result of addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination is won. For this reason, a winning combination will be won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the number of determination values.

  If a winning combination of any combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the combination determined to be winning is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the winning flag for the special role is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is won is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning flag for the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no winning combination is selected, only the general winning combination work is cleared.

  When the main control unit 1041 effectively detects one of the stop switches 1008L, 1008C, and 1008R corresponding to the rotating reel, the control when the display result is derived to the corresponding reel will be described. When any of the stop switches 1008L, 1008C, and 1008R corresponding to the rotating reel is detected effectively, the area number of the stop operation position is based on the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected. And the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the area number of the specified stop operation position is obtained by referring to the stop control table of the reel where the stop operation is detected. Then, control is performed to rotate and stop the reel by the number of acquired sliding frames. Specifically, from the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected, the number of steps from the acquired number of sliding frames to the stop is calculated, and the reel is rotated and stopped by the calculated number of steps. Take control. As a result, the region corresponding to the region number that is the stop position that is the number of sliding frames ahead of the region corresponding to the region number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected is the stop reference position (in this modification, the perspective window 1003 It will stop in the lower symbol area).

  If you win any of the winning roles, the maximum number of winning symbols will be drawn on the winning line in the range of 4 frames, and the number of sliding symbols will be determined so that the winning characters will not be aligned on the winning line. A stop control table is created and reel stop control is performed.If none of the winning combinations is won, a stop control table with a number of sliding symbols that does not match any of the roles is created and the reels are controlled. Perform stop control. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line in the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. The combination that has not been performed will be controlled to be stopped in a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  In addition, the slot machine 1001 in the present modification example has an assist time (so-called AT) that is a notification period in which a navigation effect that notifies the internal lottery result can be executed by the sub-control unit 1091 when the gaming state is a predetermined state. The effect state is controlled, and in these AT states, the internal winning winning combination can be won almost certainly, so that it becomes a gaming state advantageous to the player.

  Therefore, in the slot machine 1001 of the present modification, the sub CPU 1091a only needs to function as the effect control CPU 120 in the above-described embodiment. What is necessary is just to implement control.
