Next, based on FIG. 4, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine will be described.
A main control board 30 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine. The main control board 30 executes various processes related to the pachinko gaming machine and outputs various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results. An effect control board 31 is mounted on the back side of the machine. The effect control board 31 determines the display mode (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the main effect display device 13a and the sub effect display device 13b based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. The display content is controlled according to the processing result.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main control CPU 30a. A main control ROM 30b and a main control RAM 30c are connected to the main control CPU 30a. A first start sensor SE1, a second start sensor SE2, and a count sensor SE3 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. The first special symbol display device 11 and the second special symbol display device 12 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. Further, a special winning opening solenoid SOL1 is connected to the main control CPU 30a. Further, the gate sensor SE4, the first hold display device 22, and the second hold display device 23 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. The main control CPU 30a is connected to a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a main control program for executing various processes related to the pachinko gaming machine. The main control ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. Fluctuation patterns are game effects (display effects, etc.) from when a symbol (special symbol and decorative symbol) starts variable display (the variable game starts) until the symbol is stopped (the variable game ends). It shows the pattern that becomes the base. That is, the variation pattern can specify at least the effect time (variation time) from when the special symbol starts to be variably displayed until the special symbol is stopped and displayed. In the variation pattern in the present embodiment, it is also possible to specify the content of the variation game (such as whether or not a big hit) from when the special symbol is started to be displayed until the special symbol is stopped and displayed.

  The variation pattern includes a jackpot variation pattern that specifies a jackpot effect. In addition, the fluctuation pattern includes a deviation fluctuation pattern that specifies a deviation effect. Note that a plurality of types of variation patterns are prepared for the big hit variation pattern and the loss variation pattern. The jackpot effect is an effect in which the variable game is developed so that the symbol combination of the jackpot is finally stopped and displayed. The outlier effect is an effect in which the fluctuating game is developed so as to finally stop and display the off symbol combination.

  In the present embodiment, the jackpot reliability is set for each production content specified by the variation pattern. In addition, in order to set a big hit expectation degree in a specific game production, it is selected in the case of a big hit, which occupies the total ratio of the ratio selected in the case of a big hit and the ratio selected in the case of a loss. What is necessary is just to raise a ratio.

Various determination values are stored in the main control ROM 30b. For example, the main control ROM 30b stores a jackpot determination value used in the jackpot lottery.
In the main control board 30, various random numbers used as a hit determination random number, a special symbol distribution random number, and a variation pattern distribution random number are generated. Incidentally, the random number for hit determination is a random number used for the big hit lottery. The random number for special symbol distribution is a random number used when determining a special symbol. The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when determining the variation pattern. The values that can be taken by the random numbers for distribution pattern distribution are different for each classification of the out-of-range variation pattern and the big hit variation pattern. Note that the random numbers used as various random numbers may be hardware random numbers or software random numbers.

Next, the effect control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The effect control board 31 is provided with an effect control CPU 31a. An effect control ROM 31b and an effect control RAM 31c are connected to the effect control CPU 31a. The effect control RAM 31c stores various types of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine. The effect control CPU 31a updates the values of various random numbers at predetermined intervals, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the effect control RAM 31c, and rewrites the values before the update.

  The effect control ROM 31b stores an effect control program for executing a game effect. When the various control commands are input, the effect control CPU 31a executes various controls based on the effect control program. The effect control ROM 31b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The effect control CPU 31a is connected to the main effect display device 13a, and when various control commands are input, the display contents of the main effect display device 13a are controlled based on the effect control program. The effect control CPU 31a is connected to the sub effect display device 13b. When various control commands are input, the display contents of the sub effect display device 13b are controlled based on the effect control program.

  Next, various processes such as a special symbol input process and a special symbol start process executed by the main control CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. First, the special symbol input process will be described. The special symbol input process is executed at predetermined intervals by the main control CPU 30a.

  First, the main control CPU 30a executes a first hold determination for determining whether or not a game ball has entered the first start winning opening 14. That is, in the first hold determination, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first detection signal output when the first start sensor SE1 detects the game ball is input. When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative (when the ball is entered), the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first hold storage number is less than the upper limit value ("4" in the present embodiment). The first pending storage number determination is executed. When the determination result of the first reserved memory number determination is negative (when the upper limit value of the first reserved memory number has been reached), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the first reserved memory number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit value is not reached), the main control CPU 30a acquires various random number values related to the first variable game, and the main control RAM 30c. The obtained random number value is stored in a predetermined storage area. At this time, the acquired random number value is stored so that it can be recognized that the random number value is related to the first variation game and the acquisition order. Note that the main control CPU 30a is configured to be able to specify the first reserved storage number based on the storage contents of the main control RAM 30c (the storage amount of random values not yet used in the variable game). The main control CPU 30a then controls the first hold display device 22 to display the updated first hold memory number when the stored contents of the main control RAM 30c are updated and the first hold memory number changes. . Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command for designating the first hold information such as the updated first hold memory number. Then, the special symbol input process is terminated.

  When the determination result of the first hold determination is negative (when the ball has not entered the first start winning port 14), the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the second start winning port 18. A second hold determination is performed to determine whether or not. That is, in the second hold determination, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a second detection signal output when the second start sensor SE2 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative (when the ball is entered), the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the second hold storage number is smaller than the upper limit value ("4" in the present embodiment). The second reserved memory number determination is executed. When the determination result of the second reserved memory number determination is negative (when the upper limit value of the second reserved memory number has been reached), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  When the determination result of the second reserved memory number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit value has not been reached), the main control CPU 30a acquires various random number values related to the second variable game, and stores the predetermined values in the main control RAM 30c. The obtained random number value is stored in the storage area. At that time, it is stored so that it is a random value related to the second variable game and its acquisition order can be recognized. Note that the main control CPU 30a is configured to be able to specify the second reserved storage number based on the storage content of the main control RAM 30c (the storage amount of random values not yet used in the variable game). Then, when the stored content of the main control RAM 30c is updated and the second reserved memory number changes, the main control CPU 30a controls the second reserved display device 23 to display the updated second reserved memory number. . Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command for designating second hold information such as the updated second hold memory number. Then, the special symbol input process is terminated.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the first start sensor SE1 detects a game ball and the first reserved memory number does not reach the upper limit value, the start condition for the first variable game is satisfied. As a result, information (random value or the like) for executing the first variable game is stored. Similarly, when the second start sensor SE2 detects a game ball and the second reserved memory number does not reach the upper limit value, the start condition for the second variable game is satisfied, and the second Information (random number value etc.) for executing the variable game is stored.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described. The main control CPU 30a is configured to execute a special symbol start process at predetermined intervals.
The main control CPU 30a specifies the second reserved memory number and determines whether the second reserved memory number is larger than “0” when the big hit game or the symbol variation game is not being executed. When the second reserved memory number is “0”, the main control CPU 30a specifies the first reserved memory number and determines whether or not the first reserved memory number is larger than “0”. When the first reserved memory number is “0”, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when this determination result is affirmative (when the first number of stored memories> 0), the main control CPU 30a determines that the execution condition of the first variable game is satisfied, and the predetermined memory of the main control RAM 30c is stored. A value indicating that the first variation game is to be executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag stored in the area. In the present embodiment, neither the big hit game nor the symbol variation game is being executed, and there is a first variation game in which the first reserved memory number is> 0 (that is, the execution is suspended). The execution condition of the first variable game is satisfied.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a selects a random number value related to the first variable game executed first in accordance with the acquisition order among the random value values related to the first variable game (used for the first variable game) ( A random number for hit determination, a random number for variation pattern distribution, and a random number for special symbol distribution). Specifically, the random number value that is the earliest acquired random number value that is related to the first variable game and that has not yet been used to execute the first variable game is acquired. Further, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the specified first reserved memory number, and changes the display content of the first reserved display device 22 so as to represent the first reserved memory number. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command indicating the first hold information such as the updated first hold memory number.

The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the acquired random number for hit determination matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b, and performs a big hit determination (big hit lottery).
When the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (in the case of a jackpot), the main control CPU 30a determines the type of the jackpot game based on the acquired value of the random number for symbol distribution, and from among the jackpot symbols by special symbols A final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed by the first special symbol display device 11 (second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variable game) is determined. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the big hit variation pattern based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random number.

  The main control CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, outputs various control commands for the first variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a). In the case of the second variation game, various processes relating to the second variation game are executed.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern and instructing the start of symbol variation. Note that the variation pattern designation command also indicates information about which of the first variation game and the second variation game is executed. At the same time as the output of the variation pattern designation command, the main control CPU 30a displays the display contents of the first special symbol display device 11 (second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variation game) so as to start the variation of the special diagram. Control. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the variable game. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the type of the final stop symbol. When the final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol, the type of jackpot game can be specified, so the special symbol designation command is also a hit category designation command for designating the type of bonus game. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a displays the final stop symbol determined based on the effect time (variation time) set in the designated variation pattern. The display contents of one special symbol display device 11 (second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variable game) are controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a instructs to stop the variation of the decorative symbols based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for stopping and displaying the symbol combination.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (when the big hit is not a big hit), the main control CPU 30a sends the off symbol to the first special symbol display device 11 (second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variable game). To determine the final stop symbol to be displayed. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the deviation variation patterns based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random number value.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing, as described above (in the case of big hit). Various processes related to the first variable game (various processes related to the second variable game in the case of the second variable game) are executed. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the second reserved memory number> 0, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the second variation game is executed to the special symbol variation processing flag stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. Set. In this embodiment, when neither the big hit game nor the symbol variation game is being executed, and the second reserved memory number is> 0 (that is, there is a second variable game whose execution is suspended) The execution condition of the second variable game is satisfied.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a selects a random number value related to the second variable game that is executed earliest in accordance with the acquisition order among random number values related to the second variable game (used for the second variable game) ( A random number for hit determination, a random number for variation pattern distribution, and a random number for special symbol distribution). Specifically, the random number value that is the earliest acquired random number value that is related to the second variable game and that has not yet been used to execute the second variable game is acquired. Further, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the specified second reserved memory number, and changes the display content of the second reserved display device 23 so as to represent the second reserved memory number. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command indicating the second hold information such as the updated second hold memory number.

Hereinafter, processing related to the second variation game is executed based on the acquired random number, but since it is the same as the processing in the first variation game, detailed description thereof is omitted.
By executing such a special symbol start process, when both the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number are stored, the main control CPU 30a gives priority to the second variable game. Run. Then, when a big win is won in the second variable game, unlike the first variable game, a big hit game with a large number of substantial rounds in which a winning ball can be expected is likely to be awarded. As a result, when a big hit is achieved in the second variable game, it is possible to expect a prize ball to be obtained more than in the first variable game. Therefore, it is easy for the player to be more advantageous when a game is given per game.

  When determining the big hit, the main control CPU 30a starts the control of the type of big hit game specified based on the final stop symbol after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, and the effect control board 31 ( A predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the CPU 31a for effect control.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a starts setting the opening time. Further, the main control CPU 30 a outputs an opening command for instructing that the opening time has started to the effect control board 31. Next, the main control CPU 30a controls each round game after the opening time ends. That is, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round command for instructing the start of a round game to the effect control board 31 at the start of each round game. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the opening and closing of the special winning opening 21 for each round game. That is, the main control CPU 30a opens the large winning opening 21 until the upper limit number of game balls are won or until a predetermined time determined for each round game elapses.

  Then, when the special winning opening 21 is closed, the main control CPU 30a maintains the closing until a predetermined interval time for each round game elapses, and then ends the round game. A series of these controls is executed until the specified number of rounds is reached. When the special winning opening 21 is opened, the main control CPU 30 a outputs an opening command indicating the opening of the special winning opening 21 to the effect control board 31. When closing the special winning opening 21, the main control CPU 30 a outputs a closing command indicating the closing of the special winning opening 21 to the effect control board 31.

  When the predetermined number of round games are finished, the main control CPU 30a starts setting the ending time. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command for instructing that the ending time has started to the effect control board 31. When the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a ends the big hit game.

  Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 based on the effect control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the main control CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the effect control CPU 31a executes various processes accordingly.

  For example, when the special control designating command is input, the effect control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination based on the decorative design to be stopped and displayed on the main production display device 13a based on the final stop design designated by the special design designating command.

  That is, the effect control CPU 31a determines the jackpot symbol combination when the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a loss symbol, the effect control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination of loss.

  Then, when the variation control designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the main presentation display device 13a to execute a display effect such as a decorative symbol variation game based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. To do. Thereafter, when the all-design stop command is input, the effect control CPU 31a ends the decorative symbol variation game and displays the determined symbol combination.

Next, display contents of the sub-effect display device 13b in the present embodiment will be described based on FIG.
When the production control CPU 31a receives a hold designation command indicating the hold information from the main control CPU 30a, the production control CPU 31a displays the hold information on the sub production display device 13b based on the hold designation command. Specifically, the sub effect display device 13b displays, as the hold information, first hold display images K1 to K4 indicating the first hold memory number and second hold display images K5 to K8 indicating the second hold memory number. doing. The first hold display images K1 to K4 and the second hold display images K5 to K8 each have a “◯” type display mode. The number of first hold display images K1 to K4 corresponding to the first hold storage number is displayed on the left side of the display area of the sub-effect display device 13b, and the second hold display image K5 corresponding to the second hold storage number. -K8 are displayed on the right side of the display area of the sub-effect display device 13b.

  Also, among the first hold display images K1 to K4, the first hold display image K1 displayed at the leftmost is executed first among the first variation games on hold (the next execution). Corresponds to the first variable game). Similarly, the first hold display image K2 displayed second from the left end corresponds to the first change game executed secondly among the first change games held. Further, the first hold display image K3 displayed third from the left end corresponds to the first variable game executed third, and the first hold display image K4 displayed fourth from the left end is 4 This corresponds to the first variation game to be executed.

  Similarly, the second hold display image K5 displayed on the leftmost of the second hold display images K5 to K8 is executed first among the second variation games on hold (next) Corresponding to the second variable game to be executed. Similarly, the second hold display image K6 displayed second from the left end corresponds to the second change game executed secondly among the second change games held. The second hold display image K7 displayed third from the left end corresponds to the second variable game executed third, and the second hold display image K8 displayed fourth from the left end is 4 This corresponds to the second variation game executed second.

  Then, each time the presentation control CPU 31a inputs a hold designation command indicating the first hold information, the number of first hold display images K1 to K4 is based on the first hold storage number designated by the hold designation command. Display to increase or decrease. In addition, every time the presentation control CPU 31a inputs a hold designation command indicating the second hold information, the number of second hold display images K5 to K8 is based on the second hold storage number designated by the hold designation command. Display to increase or decrease.

  In the present embodiment, the main effect display device 13a is configured to execute a first button effect that prompts (requests) the operation of the operation button BT. When the operation button BT is operated in accordance with the request for the first button effect, the jackpot notice suggesting that the first variation game and the second variation game (based on the decorative symbol variation game) may be a big hit as the result of the operation. Is executed. Here, the control of the first button effect will be described in detail.

  When the change control designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the first button effect. In this determination, the effect control CPU 31a determines to execute the first button effect with a predetermined probability. If this determination result is negative, the CPU 31a for effect control determines that the display enable condition for the first button effect is not satisfied in the main effect display device 13a, and ends the control of the first button effect as it is.

  On the other hand, if the determination result is affirmative, the effect control CPU 31a determines that the display condition for the first button effect is satisfied in the main effect display device 13a, and the display enable condition for the first button effect is satisfied. Is set in the first button effect flag. Then, the effect control CPU 31a determines the effect content of the jackpot notice that is the effect result of the first button effect based on the variation pattern. It should be noted that the content of the effect of the jackpot notice is determined according to the expected level of jackpot for each effect content specified by the variation pattern. That is, the big hit expectation degree of the running variable game can be recognized based on the contents of the big hit notice.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a causes the first button effect to be executed during the variable game. Specifically, the effect control CPU 31a starts the decorative symbol variation game based on the variation pattern when the value indicating that the display condition of the first button effect is satisfied is set in the first button effect flag. When a predetermined time has elapsed since then, the first button effect is displayed. At this time, the effect control CPU 31a causes the main effect display device 13a to display the first button effect prompting the operation of the operation button BT, and sets the operation effective period of the operation button BT.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 5A, the main effect display device 13a displays an image G1 prompting the operation of the operation button BT (an image showing the character string “PUSH”) during the decorative symbol variation game, An image M1 (image imitating a meter) indicating the operation valid period is displayed.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the effect control CPU 31a inputs a button detection signal indicating that the operation button BT has been operated during the operation effective period, the effect of the determined jackpot notice is displayed. Based on this, an image (such as a character image) that suggests the possibility that the decorative symbol variation game will be a big hit is displayed (notified) on the main effect display device 13a.

  When the operation button BT is operated, the effect control CPU 31a ends the operation valid period in the first button effect. Then, regardless of whether or not the operation button BT is operated, the display of the first button effect ends when the operation validity period of the first button effect ends. Further, the effect control CPU 31a ends the display of the jackpot notice after a predetermined time has elapsed since the jackpot notice is displayed on the main effect display device 13a. Further, when the operation valid period ends (display of the first button effect ends), the effect control CPU 31a deletes the value indicating that the display condition for the first button effect is satisfied from the first button effect flag. To do.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-effect display device 13b is also configured to execute a second button effect that prompts (requests) the operation button BT to be operated. When the operation button BT is operated in accordance with the request for the second button effect, the effect result suggests that either the first variable game or the second variable game whose execution is put on hold may be a big hit. As described above, the hold change notice for changing the display mode of the first hold display image or the second hold display image is executed. Hereinafter, the control for executing the second button effect will be described in detail.

  When the special symbol input process ends, the main control CPU 30a designates the number of the first and second variation games that are suspended, and the first variation game or the second variation game that is suspended. The variation pattern of the variation game is determined in advance, and a prior determination process for instructing the content is executed. Here, the prior determination process will be described in detail.

  The main control CPU 30a stores various random numbers related to the first variation game or the second variation game in the special symbol input process executed immediately before the preliminary determination process, that is, the first variation game. Alternatively, when the execution of the second variable game is put on hold, the first hold memory number (after the hold) or the second hold memory number is specified. The main control CPU 30a specifies the first number of stored memory after the suspension when the execution of the first variation game is suspended, and after the suspension when the execution of the second variation game is suspended. The second reserved memory number is specified. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the newly suspended (latest) variable game is a big hit based on the value of the random number for hit determination stored in the special symbol input process executed immediately before the pre-determination process. Determine whether or not.

  When this determination result is affirmative (when it is a big hit), the main control CPU 30a newly determines based on the value of the random number for distribution pattern distribution stored in the special symbol input process executed immediately before the preliminary determination process. A variation pattern for specifying the production time of the suspended (latest) variation game is identified in advance from the big hit variation pattern. Then, the main control CPU 30a specifies the contents of the effect of the change game in advance based on the specified change pattern.

  On the other hand, when the stored value of the random number for hit determination does not coincide with the big hit determination value (in the case of loss), the main control CPU 30a stores the variation pattern stored in the special symbol input process executed immediately before the pre-determination process. Based on the value of the random number for distribution, the variation pattern that specifies the presentation time of the newly suspended (latest) variation game is identified in advance from the variation pattern. Then, the main control CPU 30a specifies the contents of the effect of the change game in advance based on the specified change pattern.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a outputs a pre-determination command for designating game information relating to the specified reserved memory count and the newly held variable game. With this pre-determination command, information that can specify not only the presence / absence of the big hit but also the effect contents of the variable game to be held is designated. In addition, it is possible to distinguish whether the prior determination command is a command corresponding to the first reserved memory number or a command corresponding to the second reserved memory number. That is, information on the type of the variation game to be held (information indicating whether the variation game held is the first variation game or the second variation game) is included.

  When the predetermination command is input, the effect control CPU 31a stores the game information related to the newly held variable game designated by the predetermination command in the effect control RAM 31c. The game information is stored so that the storage order (that is, the execution order) can be specified based on the designated number of reserved storage. The game information is information corresponding to the first reserved memory number (first variable game) based on the input prior determination command, or corresponds to the second reserved memory number (second variable game). Whether it is information is stored so as to be distinguishable.

  The effect control CPU 31a updates the game information stored in the effect control RAM 31c every time a variation pattern designation command is input. Specifically, when a variation pattern designation command for specifying the content of the effect of the first variation game is input, the effect control CPU 31a updates the game information corresponding to the first reserved memory number. That is, the game information corresponding to the first reserved storage number “1” stored earliest is deleted. Further, when a variation pattern that specifies the contents of the effect of the second variation game is designated, the game information corresponding to the second reserved memory number is updated. That is, the game information corresponding to the second reserved storage number “1” stored earliest is deleted.

Next, processing when executing the second button effect will be described.
When the advance control command is input, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the second button effect. In this determination, the effect control CPU 31a determines to execute the second button effect with a predetermined probability. When this determination result is negative, the CPU 31a for effect control determines that the display enable condition for the second button effect is not satisfied in the sub-effect display device 13b, and ends the control of the second button effect as it is.

  On the other hand, when this determination result is affirmative, the CPU 31a for effect control determines that the display enable condition for the second button effect is satisfied in the sub effect display device 13b, and the display enable condition for the second button effect is satisfied. Is set in the second button effect flag. Then, the effect control CPU 31a determines the effect content of the pending change notice, which is the effect result of the second button effect, based on the game information (the presence / absence of jackpot and the effect content of the variable game) specified by the prior determination command. It should be noted that the production content of the pending change notice is determined according to the game information related to the designated variable game. That is, the content of the pending change notice is determined so that the expectation of the big hit of the variable game being held is recognized based on the content of the pending change notice.

  For example, in the case of a big hit, if the production content of the variable game is a special production content (for example, a big hit finalizing production), the production content for changing the display color from the normal color (white) to gold is suspended. The content of the notice is decided as a notice. In addition, regardless of the presence or absence of a big hit, if the content of the variation game is a predetermined content (for example, a reach effect) different from the special content, the display color is changed from the normal color (white) to red. The production content to be performed is determined as the production content of the pending change notice.

  When the second button effect flag is set to a value indicating that the display condition for the second button effect is established, the effect control CPU 31a is triggered (that is, newly reserved). And the second button effect is displayed (executed). The hold display image corresponding to the variable game is displayed in the normal color (white). Specifically, the CPU 31a for effect control causes the sub effect display device 13b to display the second button effect for prompting the operation of the operation button BT, and sets the operation valid period of the operation button BT.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 5C, the sub-effect display device 13b displays the image G2 prompting the operation of the operation button BT (an image showing the character string “PUSH”) and the operation effective during the variable game. An image M2 indicating a period (image imitating a meter) is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 5D, when a button detection signal indicating that the operation button BT has been operated is input during the operation valid period, the effect control CPU 31a is based on the determined contents of the pending change notice. The display mode of the hold display image is changed and displayed (notified) on the sub effect display device 13b. At that time, when the CPU 31a for effect control has input a pre-determination command for designating the first reserved memory number (that is, when the execution of the first variable game is suspended), the first held display image is displayed. Among K1 to K4, the display mode of the first hold display images K1 to K4 corresponding to (or corresponding to) the first hold storage number designated by the prior determination command is changed. In addition, when the hold information corresponding to the second hold memory number is notified (that is, when the execution of the second variable game is put on hold), the effect control CPU 31a receives the second hold display images K5 to K8. Among them, the display mode of the second hold display images K5 to K8 corresponding to (or corresponding to) the second hold storage number designated by the prior determination command is changed.

  When the display color of the first hold display images K1 to K4 is changed, the first change display color of the first hold display images K1 to K4 for changing the display color is not started after the first determination command is input. When the change pattern designation command is not input, the first hold display images K1 to K4 corresponding to the first hold storage number specified by the prior determination command are displayed. On the other hand, when the first variable game is started one or more times after the prior determination command is input, the first reserved memory number obtained by subtracting the first variable game number started from the designated first reserved memory number is used. Corresponding first hold display images K1 to K4.

  Similarly, when the display colors of the second hold display images K5 to K8 are changed, the second hold display images K5 to K8 for changing the display color have not started the second variation game after the prior determination command is input. In the case (when the change pattern designation command is not input), the second hold display images K5 to K8 corresponding to the second hold storage number designated by the prior determination command. On the other hand, when one or more second variable games are started after the prior determination command is input, the second reserved memory number obtained by subtracting the second variable game number started from the designated second reserved memory number Are second on-hold display images K5 to K8.

  For example, when a prior determination command for designating the first reserved memory number “3” is input and a new variation pattern designating command is not input, the effect control CPU 31a sets the first reserved memory number “3”. The display mode of the first hold display image K3 corresponding to “is changed. In addition, when a prior determination command for designating the first reserved memory number “3” is input and a new variation pattern designating command is input once, the effect control CPU 31a sets the first reserved memory number “2”. The display mode of the first hold display image K2 corresponding to “is changed. When the operation button BT is operated, the effect control CPU 31a ends the operation effective period in the second button effect. Then, regardless of whether or not the operation button BT is operated, the display of the second button effect ends when the operation valid period of the second button effect ends. In addition, when the operation valid period ends (display of the second button effect ends), the effect control CPU 31a deletes the value indicating that the display enable condition for the second button effect is satisfied from the second button effect flag. To do.

In the present embodiment, the displayable condition for the first button effect and the displayable condition for the second button effect may be satisfied at the same time. Processing in this case will be described.
First, a process when a value indicating that the first button effect displayable condition is satisfied is set in the first button effect flag will be described.

  When the predetermination command is input when the value indicating that the display condition for the first button effect is established is set in the first button effect flag, the effect control CPU 31a performs the second button effect as described above. It is determined whether or not to execute. When this determination result is affirmative, the CPU 31a for effect control determines that the display enable condition for the second button effect is satisfied, while setting a value indicating that the display enable condition for the second button effect is satisfied to the second button. Do not set the production flag. That is, the display of the second button effect is restricted from the time when the first button effect display enable condition is satisfied at the start of the variable game to the end of the first button effect operation effective period.

Next, a process when a value indicating that the display enable condition for the second button effect is established is set in the second button effect flag will be described.
The effect control CPU 31a executes the first button effect when a change pattern designation command is input when a value indicating that the display condition for the second button effect is established is set in the second button effect flag. It is determined whether or not to make it. When this determination result is negative, the CPU 31a for effect control ends the process as it is.

  On the other hand, when this determination result is affirmative, the CPU 31a for effect control erases a value indicating that the displayable condition for the second button effect is satisfied from the second button effect flag. On the other hand, the CPU 31a for effect control sets a value indicating that the display enable condition for the first button effect is satisfied in the first button effect flag. When the second button effect is displayed on the sub effect display device 13b, the display is ended.

  Thereafter, the effect control CPU 31a determines the effect result of the first button effect, and displays the first button effect on the main effect display device 13a as described above. Then, based on the input of the button detection signal from the operation button BT, the effect control CPU 31a causes the main effect display device 13a to display the effect result of the first button effect (a big hit notice).

  As described above, the display control condition of the second button effect in the sub-effect display device 13b is established when the display condition for the first button effect in the main effect display device 13a is satisfied. Even so, it is configured to regulate execution. On the other hand, when the display enable condition for the second button effect in the sub effect display device 13b is satisfied, the effect control CPU 31a satisfies the display enable condition for the first button effect in the main effect display device 13a. The first button effect is preferentially executed.

Next, based on FIG. 6, after the first button effect displayable condition is satisfied, the effect mode and the operation when the second button effect displayable condition is satisfied will be described.
In FIG. 6, it is assumed that the first button effect displayable condition is satisfied when the first variable game is started. In FIG. 6, after the first button effect displayable condition is satisfied (after the start of the first variable game), the first variable game is put on hold, and the second button effect can be displayed on the occasion of the hold. It is assumed that the condition is met. Note that, after the first button effect displayable condition is satisfied, the second button effect displayable condition is satisfied before the first button effect display. In FIG. 6, the first reserved memory number is subtracted from “3” to “2” when the first variable game is started, and then the first reserved memory number is triggered when the first variable game is held. Is increased from “2” to “3”.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), when the first variable game is started, the first button effect displayable condition is established based on the premise, and the effect control CPU 31a A value indicating that the button effect displayable condition is satisfied is set in the first button effect flag. At this time, the first reserved storage number is subtracted from “3” to “2”, and the number of the first reserved display images is changed accordingly.

  And as shown in FIG.6 (c), if the 1st fluctuation | variation game is put on hold, the displayable conditions of a 2nd button effect will be satisfied based on a premise. However, since the value indicating that the first button effect displayable condition is established is already set in the first button effect flag, the second button effect flag displayable condition is established in the second button effect flag. The display of the second button effect is regulated without setting a value indicating this. When the first variable game is put on hold, the first hold memory number is increased from “2” to “3” based on the hold, and the number of the first hold display images is changed accordingly.

  As shown in FIG. 6D, since the first button effect flag is set to a value indicating that the display condition for the first button effect is established, a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the first variable game. Thereafter, the first button effect is displayed on the main effect display device 13a, and the operation valid period in the first button effect is set. When the operation button BT is operated during this operation effective period, the effect control CPU 31a displays the effect result (hit-hit notice) in the first button effect.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 6 (e), the main effect display device 13a displays a jackpot notice indicating the jackpot expectation of the first variable game being executed. In addition, the operation valid period in the first button effect ends.

  The player pays more attention to the main effect display device 13a than to the sub effect display device 13b. This is because more attention is paid to whether or not the variable game displayed on the main effect display device 13a is a big hit than the number of stored memories (hold information) displayed on the sub-effect display device 13b. In addition, the floating game being executed is attracting more attention than the variable game being held. This is because, when a big hit game is expected in any of the variable games, it is a variable game that is being executed that the period until the result is displayed is shorter. As a result, the player pays attention to the display content of the main effect display device 13a rather than the display content of the sub-effect display device 13b. Therefore, as described above, even if the displayable condition for the first button effect and the displayable condition for the second button effect are satisfied at the same time, the display of the second button effect is restricted and the first button effect is given priority. To be displayed automatically. In addition, since only one of the first button effect and the second button effect is displayed, it is more confusing as to which effect result of the button effect is displayed to the player as compared to the case where they are simultaneously displayed. I will not let you. The condition that the display condition for the first button effect and the condition that the second button effect can be displayed is established at the same time. The display of the first button effect ends when the display condition for the first button effect is satisfied. It means that there is a period in which the time until the display of the second button effect and the time until the end of the display of the second button effect is completed.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) In the display area (first effect display area) of the main effect display device 13a, the decorative symbol variation game being executed (the display effect associated with the first variation game or the second variation game) is displayed. On the other hand, on the display area (second effect display area) of the sub-effect display device 13b, the hold information (first hold display image and second hold display image) related to the suspended variable game is displayed. In general, in the decorative symbol variation game, an image that attracts attention is more likely to be displayed than on-hold information. Note that images attracting attention in the decorative symbol variation game include a jackpot symbol combination (a jackpot display result), a display effect with a high expectation level for the jackpot, and the like. In addition, the player is more likely to pay attention to the variable game being executed than the holding information in a shorter running period until the player recognizes whether or not the jackpot is successful. From the above, the player pays attention to the main effect display device 13a in comparison with the sub effect display device 13b.

  Therefore, when the display enable condition of the first button effect and the second button effect is satisfied at the same time, the display of the second button effect on the sub effect display device 13b is restricted. In other words, while the displayable condition for the first button effect is satisfied when the change game is started, the display of the second button effect is restricted even if the displayable condition for the second button effect is satisfied. . Further, even if the display enable condition for the second button effect is satisfied when the floating game is held, if the display enable condition for the first button effect is satisfied after that, the display of the second button effect is restricted. Thus, the first button effect is displayed preferentially (the second button effect is not displayed or the display is terminated). As a result, even when the display enable conditions for a plurality of button effects are satisfied at the same time, the button effect that is easily noticed by the player, that is, the first button effect displayed on the main effect display device 13a is executed. be able to.

  Further, since only one button effect is displayed, it is possible to easily recognize how to operate. Further, a predetermined effect result corresponding to the button effect assumed by the player when the operation is performed can be notified. Further, it is possible to concentrate on the button effect, and to recognize the effect result corresponding to the button effect from the beginning. Further, by restricting the second button effect of the sub effect display device 13b, the first button effect can be more easily noticed. From the above, it is possible to improve the interest of the button effect that requires the operation of the operation button BT.

  (2) Since the main effect display device 13a and the sub effect display device 13b are separate bodies, when displaying the button effect at the same time, it is easier to recognize that the button effect is displayed. Can do. The effect result is displayed in correspondence with the display device that displays each button effect. That is, the effect result of the first button effect is displayed on the main effect display device 13a, and the effect result of the second button effect is displayed on the sub effect display device 13b. Thereby, the player can determine which button effect is the effect result corresponding to the display area based on the display area.

  (3) In the decorative symbol variation game indicating whether or not a big hit state advantageous to the player occurs, an image that attracts more attention from the player than the hold information (first hold display image and second hold display image) Easy to display. That is, the image related to the jackpot expectation and the combination of the jackpot symbol displayed in the decorative symbol variation game are more likely to be noticed than the image related to the number of reserved memories. For this reason, in the display area of the main effect display device 13a and the display region of the sub effect display device 13b, if the display conditions for the button effect are satisfied at the same time, the main effect display device 13a performs the first button effect. It is easier to draw attention if it is displayed. Therefore, by restricting the display of the second button effect on the sub-effect display device 13b, the operation button BT requested by the first button effect displayed on the main effect display device 13a can be made cheaper and the game can be enjoyed. Easy to improve.

  (4) The main effect display device 13a displays a first button effect as a result of effect that displays a jackpot notice that suggests the possibility that the first change game or the second change game (and the decorative symbol change game based thereon) will be a big win. It was configured to be displayable. On the other hand, the second button effect is displayed on the sub effect display device 13b so as to display the hold change notice indicating whether or not the held variable game is a big hit and indicating the contents of the effect as the effect result. Accordingly, button effects for displaying different effect results can be displayed in different display areas, and variations of button effects can be increased. Further, since the display is made in different display areas, the player's line of sight can be moved to prevent the player from getting bored. For this reason, the interest of button production can be improved.

In addition, the said embodiment can be actualized in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, the button detection signal indicating that the operation button BT has been operated is input to the effect control board 31, but may be input to the main control board 30. In this case, the main control board 30 may output the input button detection signal to the effect control board 31, and the main control board 30 performs the button effect related to the operation button BT in place of the effect control board 31. Control may be executed.

  In the above embodiment, it is adopted in a pachinko gaming machine, but it may be realized by a pachinko slot machine (rotating drum machine, hereinafter referred to as a slot). In addition, when the player operates the start operation means (start lever), the slot starts to fluctuate with a plurality of rotating bodies (reels) in which symbols are arranged, and the slot is determined whether or not it is related to whether or not the variable game is successful. Judgment is performed. In the slot, after the reels are rotated, a symbol stop process based on the determination of success / failure is executed in response to an operation of a stop operation means (stop button) provided corresponding to each reel. Value (award medal, etc.) is given.

  When the slot is adopted, the main effect display device 13a and the sub-effect display device 13b do not necessarily have to execute the decorative symbol variation game, and it is only necessary to perform the effect display that suggests the result of the determination. In addition, when employed in a slot, the effect result of the button effect may be an effect that suggests a possibility that a specific state advantageous to the player is given, a given period, or the like. The specific state in the slot means, for example, a state (so-called replay time or the like) in which a predetermined success / failure determination result (predetermined winning combination) is likely to be established, or a predetermined symbol combination (predetermined game value is added). It is a state (so-called assist time, etc.) that facilitates stopping the combination.

  -In the said embodiment, you may display a usual game in the display area of the sub production | presentation display apparatus 13b instead of holding information or with holding information. The decorative symbol variation game based on the first variation game or the second variation game is more likely to be noticed than the usual game that indicates whether or not the open / close door 16 is opened. For this reason, when the display enable condition for the first button effect and the display enable condition for the second button effect are established at the same time, it is easier to focus on the display of the first button effect on the main effect display device 13a. Therefore, by restricting the display of the second button effect on the sub-effect display device 13b, the first button effect requested by the first button effect displayed on the main effect display device 13a can be easily operated and the game can be performed. It is easy to improve interest.

  In this example, the normal game may be displayed on the main effect display device 13a, and the variable game may be displayed on the sub-effect display device 13b. In this case, when the displayable condition for the first button effect and the displayable condition for the second button effect are established at the same time, the display of the first button effect on the main effect display device 13a may be restricted.

  In the above embodiment, the decorative design variation game based on the first variation game is displayed in the display area of the main effect display device 13a, and the decoration design based on the second variation game is displayed in the display area of the sub-effect display device 13b. You may comprise so that a variable game may be displayed. In this case, when the displayable condition for the first button effect and the displayable condition for the second button effect are satisfied at the same time, the display of the first button effect may be restricted. In this case, it is necessary to configure such that the first variation game and the second variation game can be executed simultaneously.

  When a big hit game is generated based on the second variable game (first symbol variable game), compared to a case where a big hit game is generated based on the first variable game (second symbol variable game) Therefore, the second variable game is more likely to be noticed than the first variable game. Therefore, when the display condition for the first button effect and the display enable condition for the second button effect are established at the same time in the display area of the main effect display device 13a and the display region of the sub effect display device 13b, the sub effect display is performed. It is easier to draw attention when the second button effect is displayed on the device 13b. Therefore, in this case, by restricting the display of the first button effect on the main effect display device 13a, the second button effect requested by the second button effect displayed on the sub-effect display device 13b can be easily operated. At the same time, it is easy to improve the fun of games.

  In this example, the decorative design variation game based on the second variation game may be displayed on the main effect display device 13a, and the decoration design variation game based on the first variation game may be displayed on the sub-effect display device 13b. good. In this case, when the displayable condition for the first button effect and the displayable condition for the second button effect are established at the same time, the display of the second button effect on the sub-effect display device 13b may be restricted.

  In the embodiment described above, information suggesting whether or not a special game state advantageous to the player is provided in each of the pending variable games may be displayed in the display area of the sub-effect display device 13b. For example, the display mode of the first hold display image may be changed according to the effect contents of the corresponding variable game on hold or the presence or absence of the big hit. More specifically, even if the second button effect is not executed, the hold change notice may be executed constantly or with a high probability. In this case, when the display condition for the first button effect and the display enable condition for the second button effect are satisfied at the same time, the display of the first button effect may be restricted. That is, in this case, the display area of the main effect display device 13a is the second effect display region, and the display area of the sub effect display device 13b is the first effect display region. In this case, it is desirable that the effect result of the second button effect be an image other than the pending change notice (for example, a big hit notice).

  In addition, information suggesting whether or not a special game state advantageous to the player is granted in each of the pending floating games can be recognized with respect to the results of a plurality of floating games rather than the results of one floating game. For this reason, an image of interest is more easily displayed. Accordingly, in the display area of the main effect display device 13a and the display region of the sub effect display device 13b, when the display condition for the first button effect and the display enable condition for the second button effect are satisfied at the same time, the sub effect display device It is easier to draw attention when the second button effect is displayed in 13b. Therefore, in this case, by restricting the display of the first button effect on the main effect display device 13a, the second button effect requested by the second button effect displayed on the sub-effect display device 13b can be easily operated. At the same time, it is easy to improve the fun of games.

  In this alternative example, information suggesting whether or not a special gaming state advantageous to the player is given to each of the pending variable games is displayed on the main effect display device 13a, and the variable game is displayed as a sub-effect display device. You may display on 13b. In this case, when the displayable condition for the first button effect and the displayable condition for the second button effect are established at the same time, the display of the second button effect on the sub-effect display device 13b may be restricted.

  In the above embodiment, a notification image (that is, an image instructing right-handed) indicating that a game per game is given to the display area of the sub-effect display device 13b or that the open / close door 16 is opened. May be displayed. In this case, when the display condition for the first button effect and the display enable condition for the second button effect are satisfied at the same time, the display of the first button effect may be restricted. That is, in this case, the display area of the main effect display device 13a is the second effect display region, and the display area of the sub effect display device 13b is the first effect display region.

  The notification image indicating the open state or the like can allow a plurality of game balls to enter the second start winning opening 18, that is, more reliably acquire a prize ball, or start condition of the second variable game Can be established a plurality of times, so the value of the information is high and it is easier to draw attention than a single variation game. In addition, the notification image indicating that the state is in an open state or the like is easily displayed as compared with the jackpot symbol combination. Also, the second variation game is more likely to be awarded a big hit game that is advantageous to the player than the first variation game.

  Therefore, when the display condition for the first button effect and the display enable condition for the second button effect are established at the same time in the display area of the main effect display device 13a and the display region of the sub effect display device 13b, the sub effect display is performed. It is easier to draw attention when the second button effect is displayed on the device 13b. Therefore, in this case, by restricting the display of the first button effect on the main effect display device 13a, the second button effect requested by the second button effect displayed on the sub-effect display device 13b can be easily operated. At the same time, it is easy to improve the fun of games.

  In this example, the notification image may be displayed on the main effect display device 13a, and the decorative symbol variation game based on the variation game may be displayed on the sub-effect display device 13b. In this case, when the displayable condition for the first button effect and the displayable condition for the second button effect are established at the same time, the display of the second button effect on the sub-effect display device 13b may be restricted.

  In the above-described embodiment, if the main effect display device 13a is configured to display an image attracting attention by the player more easily than the sub effect display device 13b, the main effect display device 13a and the sub effect display device The display content 13b (image to be displayed in each display area) may be arbitrarily changed. Note that an image attracting attention by the player is an image (such as a reach pattern, a reach effect image, or a probability change suggestion image) that suggests a possibility that a special advantageous state advantageous to the player is given, or a special advantageous to the player. It is an image (such as a big hit symbol or a probability change notification image) that notifies that an advantageous state is given. In addition, an image attracting attention by the player is an image that contains more information useful to the player, an image with a low appearance rate, a large image, or a motion as compared to the image displayed on the sub-effect display device 13b. It may be an image, an image using many colors, or a combination thereof.

  In the above embodiment, if the main effect display device 13a is configured to display an image that is more likely to be noticed by the player than the sub effect display device 13b, the main effect display device 13a and the sub effect display are displayed. The display content of the device 13b (image to be displayed in each display area) may be arbitrarily changed. Note that an image that is easily noticed by the player is an image that contains more information useful to the player, an image with a low appearance rate, a large image, or the like, compared to the image displayed on the sub-effect display device 13b. An image with motion, an image using many colors, or a combination thereof.

  In the above embodiment, the first button effect displayable condition is established at the start of the variable game, but at the same time the first button effect displayable condition and the second button effect displayable condition are If it can be established, it may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the game ball may be triggered by the first start sensor SE1, the second start sensor SE2, the count sensor SE3, or the gate sensor SE4, and the change game is newly held. Anyway. Moreover, you may be triggered by a big hit game, a regular hit game, or the opening of an opening / closing blade. It may be triggered by the start of a predetermined round game of the big hit game.

  In the above embodiment, the condition that the display condition for the second button effect is established is when the new variable game is put on hold, but the display condition for the first button effect and the display of the second button effect can be displayed at the same time. If the condition can be satisfied, it may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the game ball may be detected by the first start sensor SE1, the second start sensor SE2, the count sensor SE3, or the gate sensor SE4. You may take this as an opportunity. Moreover, you may be triggered by a big hit game, a regular hit game, or the opening of an opening / closing blade. It may be triggered by the start of a predetermined round game of the big hit game.

  In the above embodiment, the effect result according to the first button effect is a jackpot notice that suggests the expected degree of jackpot of the running variable game, but may be arbitrarily changed. For example, it may be a pending change notice that suggests whether there is a big hit of a pending floating game and the contents of the effect, and a probability variation state in which the big hit probability is higher than the normal probability is given (or given) A suggestion effect that suggests the possibility of a game being awarded per game, an effect that suggests the type of jackpot game (such as the number of rounds), and the like. In addition, the opening mode of the open / close door 16 is controlled to indicate the number of times that the game ball entering probability of the game ball entering the second start winning opening 18 is higher than usual. Also good. Further, it may be an effect suggesting that a specific state advantageous to the player, such as a probability change state or an improved entrance rate, is given, or the number of times of grant. Further, a simple effect such as displaying a predetermined image or outputting a predetermined sound may be used.

  In the above embodiment, the effect result corresponding to the second button effect is a pending change notice that suggests whether there is a big hit of the pending variable game or the effect contents, but may be arbitrarily changed. For example, it may be a jackpot notice that suggests the expected degree of jackpot of a running variable game, suggesting that a probability variation state in which the jackpot probability is higher than the normal probability is given (or given). It may be a suggestion effect, a notice effect that suggests the possibility of a game being given per game, an effect that suggests the type of jackpot game (number of rounds, etc.). In addition, the opening mode of the open / close door 16 is controlled to indicate the number of times that the game ball entering probability of the game ball entering the second start winning opening 18 is higher than usual.
