When the derived display is performed, the effect display device 9 also derives and displays the jackpot display result (combination of jackpot symbol) as the specific display result. When the specific display result is displayed as the display result of the variable display in this manner, the specific game state (big hit game state) is controlled as an advantageous state to which a value (advantageous value) advantageous to the player is given.

  Further, in the effect display device 9, symbols other than the symbol that will be the final stop symbol (for example, the middle symbol of the left and right middle symbols) have continued for a predetermined time, and the jackpot symbol (for example, the left middle right symbol is aligned with the same symbol) It is stopped, swinging, enlarged, reduced, or deformed in a state that matches the symbol combination), or multiple symbols may fluctuate in synchronization with the same symbol, or the position of the display symbol may be switched. An effect that is performed in a state where the possibility of occurrence of a big hit (hereinafter, these states are referred to as reach states) before the final result is displayed is referred to as reach effect.

  Here, in the reach state, when the effect symbols that are stopped and displayed in the display area of the effect display device 9 constitute a part of the jackpot combination, the change of the effect symbols that are not yet stopped and displayed is continued. This is a display state in which all or part of the effect symbols are synchronously changing while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination. In other words, reach means a state in which identification information constitutes a specific display result in a plurality of variable display areas, but at least some of the variable areas are in variable display. In this embodiment, the reach state is formed, for example, in a state where the same symbol is stopped in the left and right symbol display areas and the symbol is not stopped in the middle symbol display area. The symbols stopped in the left and right symbol display areas when the reach state is formed are called reach formation symbols or reach symbols.

  The display effect in the reach state is reach effect display (reach effect). In addition, during the reach, an unusual performance may be performed with a lamp or sound. This production is called reach production. Further, in the case of reach, a character (an effect display imitating a person or the like, which is different from a design (effect design etc.)) or a display mode (for example, a color etc.) of the background image of the effect display device 9 is displayed. ) May change. This change in character display and background display mode is called reach effect display. In addition, some reach is set so that when it appears, a big hit is likely to occur compared to a normal reach. Such a special reach is called super reach.

  On the right side of the effect display device 9, there is provided a first special symbol display (first variation display unit) 8a for variably displaying the first special symbol as identification information for identifying each. The first special symbol display 8a is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7 segment LED) capable of variably displaying special symbols such as numbers 0 to 9. Further, on the right side of the effect display device 9 (next to the right of the first special symbol display 8a), a second special symbol display (second display) that variably displays each second special symbol as identification information that can be identified. Fluctuation display portion) 8b is provided. The second special symbol display 8b is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7 segment LED) capable of variably displaying special symbols such as numbers 0 to 9.

  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 are collectively referred to as a special symbol indicator (variable display unit). There are things to do.

  Although this embodiment shows a case where two special symbol indicators 8a and 8b are provided, the gaming machine may be provided with only one special symbol indicator.

  In the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the first start condition (first execution condition) or the second start condition (second execution condition) which is the execution condition of the variation display is established (for example, the game ball is After passing through the first start winning opening 13 or the second starting winning opening 14 (including winning), the variable display start condition (for example, when the number of reserved memories is not 0 and the first special symbol and This is started based on the fact that the variation display of the second special symbol is not executed and the jackpot game is not executed), and the display result (when the variation display time (variation time) elapses) The stop symbol is derived and displayed. In the present embodiment, regarding the special symbol variable display, when both the first execution condition based on the first special symbol and the second execution condition based on the second special symbol are satisfied, the variable display of the second special symbol Is preferentially established over the start condition of the first special symbol variation display, and the second special symbol variation display is preferentially executed. Note that the passing of a game ball means that the game ball has passed through a predetermined area such as a prize opening or a gate, and that includes a game ball entering (winning) a prize opening. It is. Deriving and displaying the display result is to finally stop and display a symbol (an example of identification information).

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. 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 recalls the jackpot as the jackpot display result. Such a combination of effect symbols is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, a first hold memory display unit 18c for displaying the first hold memory number and a second hold memory display unit 18d for displaying the second hold memory number are formed at the lower part of the display screen of the effect display device 9. The 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.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a special variable winning ball device 20 is provided below the variable winning ball device 15. The special variable winning ball apparatus 20 includes an opening / closing plate, and when the specific display result (big hit symbol) is derived and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a, and the specific display result (big hit symbol) on the second special symbol display 8b. When the open / close plate is controlled to be open by the solenoid 21 in the specific game state (big hit game state) that occurs when the symbol is derived and displayed, the big winning opening serving as the winning area is opened. The game ball that has won the big winning opening is detected by the count switch 23.

  In the big hit gaming state, repeated continuous control is performed in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 repeats an open state and a closed state. In the repeated continuation control, a state in which the special variable winning ball device 20 is opened is called a round (hereinafter also simply referred to as R). Thus, the repeated continuation control is also called round control. In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of jackpots are provided. When it is determined that a jackpot is to be made, one of the jackpot types is selected.

  On the left side of the effect display device 9, there is provided a normal symbol display 10 for variably displaying normal symbols that can be distinguished from each other. In this embodiment, the normal symbol display 10 is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7 segment LED) that can display numbers 0 to 9 in a variable manner. That is, the normal symbol display 10 is configured so as to variably display numbers (or symbols) of 0 to 9. The small display is formed in a square shape, for example.

  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. When the stop symbol on the normal symbol display 10 is a predetermined symbol (a winning symbol, for example, a symbol “7”), the variable winning ball device 15 is closed in a disadvantageous state for a player for a predetermined number of times. To an open state advantageous to the player. In the vicinity of the normal symbol display 10, a normal symbol holding storage display 41 having a display unit with four LEDs for displaying the number of winning balls that have passed through the gate 32 is provided. 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 LEDs to be turned on by one. Then, each time the variable display of the normal symbol display 10 is started, the number of LEDs to be lit is reduced by one.

  At the lower part of the game board 6, there is an out port 26 into which a hit ball that has not won a prize is taken. In addition, four speakers 27 that utter sound effects and sounds as predetermined sound outputs are provided on the upper left and right and lower left and right outside the game area 7. On the outer periphery of the game area 7, a frame LED 28 provided on the front frame is provided.

  In addition, a prepaid card unit (hereinafter also simply referred to as “card unit”) that enables lending a ball by inserting a prepaid card is installed adjacent to the pachinko gaming machine 1 (not shown).

  In the hit type table of FIG. 5, for each hit type in the big hit, the big hit probability / base after the big hit game is ended, the number of open times (number of rounds) in the big hit, and the open time of each round are shown. As shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, as the big hit types, a normal big hit, a probable big hit, and a sudden probable big hit (hereinafter also referred to as “surprising big hit”) are provided.

  By winning the jackpot (the jackpot determination based on winning the start is determined to be a jackpot), the game is controlled to the jackpot gaming state. The big hit gaming state is a specific gaming state advantageous to the player. In the big hit gaming state, after the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is opened, a predetermined opening state end condition (a predetermined round opening time has elapsed in the opening state or a predetermined number (for example, 10) ) Is closed in response to the establishment of an open end condition that a winning ball is generated. When the opening end condition is satisfied, a continuation right is generated and the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is opened again. The generation of the continuation right is repeated until a predetermined number of times of release (final round) in the jackpot gaming state is reached.

  In the present embodiment, the round opening time is 29 seconds, 29 seconds, and 0.5 seconds for each of the normal jackpot, the probability variation jackpot, and the sudden hit jackpot. In addition, the number of times of opening is normally 15 times, 15 times, and 2 times for each of the big hit, the probability variation big hit, and the sudden big hit.

  In this way, in the big hit, the opening time of the big prize opening is extremely short and it is virtually impossible to win the big prize opening, and the prize ball (the prize ball paid out for the prize) is substantially It is a big hit that cannot be obtained. In addition, the winning big hit may be a big hit from which a prize ball is obtained.

  After the big hit gaming state, the big hit probability is controlled to a low probability state with a normal probability or a high probability state in which the probability is improved (probability variation state, also referred to as a probability change state for short). The high probability state is one of special game states that are advantageous for a player different from the specific game state.

  In the present embodiment, the probability change big hit and the sudden big hit are controlled to a high probability state, and the normal big hit is controlled to a low probability state. In the present embodiment, the high-probability state continues until the special symbol variation display is performed 100 times or until the next jackpot occurs, whichever comes first. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the high probability state may be continued until the next big hit.

  Further, after the big hit gaming state, the base is controlled to a high base. The base is the ratio of the number of game balls to be paid out as a prize ball according to the winning with respect to the number of shot balls. The high base state is one of the special game states that is advantageous for the player, which is different from the specific game state. Note that the base may be controlled to the high base state or the low base state depending on the type of the big hit after the big hit gaming state.

  In the present embodiment, the base after the big hit is a high base for any of the normal big hit, the probability variation big hit and the sudden big hit. In the present embodiment, the high base state continues until the special symbol change display is performed 100 times or until the next big hit occurs, whichever comes first. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the high base state may be continued until the next big hit. In this case, the high base state is controlled on the premise that the high probability state is in effect.

  As a method of controlling to the high base state, for example, there is a method of controlling to the electric chew support control state in association with the short time state. The short-time state is a state in which the variation time (variation display period) of the special symbol and the production symbol is shortened compared to the non-short-time state. The electric chew support control state means that by increasing the frequency at which the variable winning ball device 15 is in the open state, the frequency at which the game ball enters the variable winning ball device 15 is increased, thereby making it easy to win the variable winning ball device 15 It is a state that becomes higher (higher approach, higher frequency). This control is called electric Chu support control because it is a control that facilitates winning to the variable winning ball apparatus 15 by supporting the winning with the variable winning ball apparatus 15, that is, the electric tulip.

  Here, electric Chu support control will be described. As electric support control, normal symbol variation time (time from the start of variation display to display result derivation display time) is shortened and the display result is derived and displayed at an early stage (normal symbol shortening control), normal symbol The control to increase the probability that the stop symbol will be a winning symbol (ordinary symbol probability changing control), the control to increase the opening time of the variable winning ball device 15 (opening time extension control), and the number of opening of the variable winning ball device 15 are increased. Control (opening number increase control) is performed. When such control is performed, the time ratio during which the variable winning ball device 15 is open is higher than when the control is not performed. As a result, the game ball is likely to start and win (the special symbol display devices 8a and 8b and the effect display device 9 are more likely to satisfy the variable display execution condition). Further, by increasing the winning frequency to the second starting winning port 14 by such control, a gaming state is achieved in which the frequency of establishment of the second starting condition and / or the frequency of execution of the variable display of the second special symbol is increased.

  In addition, as the electric chew support control, the high base state is realized by executing any one of the above-mentioned normal symbol shortening control, normal symbol probability changing control, opening time extension control, and opening frequency increase control. You may make it. In addition, as the electric chew support control, any combination of any two of the above-described normal symbol shortening control, normal symbol probability changing control, opening time extension control, and opening number increase control, or any three of them is possible. The high base state may be realized by any combination of the two controls.

  In this embodiment, “high probability state (probability variation state)” and “low probability state (non-probability variation state)” are used as terms indicating the state of jackpot probability, and terms indicating a combination of base states are used. , “High base state (electric Chu support control state)” and “low base state (non-electric Chu support control state)” are used.

  In this embodiment, terms indicating a combination of the state of the big hit probability and the base state are “low accuracy low base state”, “low accuracy high base state”, “high accuracy low base state”, and Use “highly accurate base state”. The “low probability low base state” is a state indicating that the state of the big hit probability is the low probability state and the base state is the low base state. The “low probability high base state” is a state indicating that the state of the big hit probability is the low probability state and the base state is the high base state. The “high probability low base state” is a state indicating that the state of the big hit probability is the high probability state and the base state is the low base state. The “high probability high base state” is a state indicating that the state of the big hit probability is the high probability state and the base state is the high base state.

  In the present embodiment, the special gaming state may be controlled to a short time state and a high base state. As described above, the transition time to the short-time state and the high base state reduces the fluctuation time of the special symbol and the production symbol. Therefore, when the short-time state occurs, an effective start winning is likely to occur and a big hit game is performed. Is likely to be increased. Since the start condition and the end condition of the control are the same in the short-time state and the high-base state, the state controlled to the short-time state and the high-base state may be representatively indicated by the term short-time state. In some cases, this term is used as a representative.

  In addition to the big hit, a small hit that opens the big winning opening may be provided by an opening pattern based on the number of times of opening and the opening time similar to the sudden big hit. When a small hit is made, after the small hit gaming state, both the big hit probability and the base are not changed from those before the start of the small hit gaming state. If such a small hit is provided, when it is not informed whether or not the probability change state has been made after the end of each hit gaming state of the sudden hit big hit and the small hit, seeing the open pattern, Even when the player recognizes which one has been executed, there are two types of hits that result in the same opening pattern, so it is difficult for the player to know whether or not it is in a probabilistic state. Even when the probability variation state is not actually set, the player's sense of expectation for the probability variation state can be increased, and the interest of the game can be improved.

It is mounted on the substrate 31.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 560 includes a first special symbol display 8a, a second special symbol display 8b, which variably displays special symbols, a normal symbol display 10, which variably displays normal symbols, and a first special symbol hold memory. Display control of the display 18a, the second special symbol storage memory display 18b, and the normal symbol storage memory display 41 is performed.

  The effect control board 80 includes an effect control microcomputer 100, a ROM 102, a RAM 103, a VDP 109, an I / O port unit 105, and the like. The ROM 102 stores a program and data for effect control such as display control. The RAM 103 is used as a work memory. The ROM 102 and the RAM 103 may be built in the production control microcomputer 100. The VDP 109 controls display of the effect display device 9 in cooperation with the effect control microcomputer 100.

  The effect control microcomputer 100 provides an effect control command for instructing effect contents from the game control microcomputer 560 via the relay board 77 that allows signals to pass only in one direction from the main board 31 to the effect control board 80. And the display control of the frame LED 28 provided on the frame side through the lamp driver board 35 and the speaker 27 through the audio output board 70. Various effects are controlled, such as controlling the sound output.

  Further, the effect control CPU 101 sends an operation detection signal as an information signal indicating that the player's operation action to the trigger button 125 of the stick controller 122 is detected from the trigger sensor 121 via an input port (not shown). Enter. In addition, the effect control CPU 101 inputs an operation detection signal as an information signal indicating that the player's operation action on the push button 120 has been detected from the push sensor 124 via an input port (not shown). In addition, the production control CPU 101 sends an operation detection signal as an information signal indicating that an operation action of the engineer to the operation rod of the stick controller 122 is detected from the tilt direction sensor unit 123 to an input port (not shown).

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing each random number. Each random number is used as follows.
(1) Random R: A random counter for hit determination for determining whether or not to make a big hit. Random R is updated one by one at 10 MHz, is added and updated from 0, and is added and updated to its upper limit of 65535, and then is added and updated again from 0. (2) Random 1 (MR1): Determines the type of jackpot (type, 2R normal jackpot, 2R probability variation jackpot, or 15R probability variation jackpot) and jackpot symbol (for jackpot type determination, jackpot symbol determination) ). (3) Random 2 (MR2): The type (type) of the variation pattern is determined (for variation pattern type determination). (4) Random 3 (MR3): A variation pattern (variation time) is determined (for variation pattern determination). (5) Random 4 (MR4): Determines whether or not to generate a hit based on the normal symbol (for normal symbol hit determination). (6) Random 5 (MR5): An initial value of random 4 is determined (for determining a random 4 initial value).

  In this embodiment, the big hit that is the specific gaming state includes a plurality of types of 15R probability variable big hit, 2R probability variable big hit, and 2R normal big hit. Therefore, when the big hit is determined based on the value of the big hit determination random number (random R), the big hit type is determined based on the value of the big hit type determination random number (random 1). Determined by type. Furthermore, when the type of jackpot is determined, the jackpot symbol is also determined based on the value of the jackpot type determination random number (random 1) at the same time. Therefore, random 1 is also a jackpot symbol determining random number.

  In addition, the variation pattern is first determined using the variation pattern type determination random number (random 2), and is included in the determined variation pattern type using the variation pattern determination random number (random 3). To determine the variation pattern. Thus, in this embodiment, the variation pattern is determined by a two-stage lottery process. The variation pattern type is a group of a plurality of variation patterns according to the characteristics of the variation mode. One or more variation patterns belong to the variation pattern type.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing a jackpot determination table and a jackpot type determination table. FIG. 8A is an explanatory diagram showing a jackpot determination table. 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 (non-probability change) jackpot determination table used in a normal state (a gaming state that is not a probability change state, that is, a non-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. 8 (A) is set as a big hit determination value in the normal jackpot determination table, and is described in the right column of FIG. 8 (A) in the probability change big hit determination table. Each value is set as a big hit judgment value. The jackpot judgment value set in the jackpot judgment table at the time of probability change is the jackpot judgment value common to the jackpot judgment value set in the normal jackpot judgment table (referred to as the normal jackpot judgment value or the first jackpot judgment value). Due to the addition of the unique jackpot judgment value, a larger number (10 times the number of jackpot judgment values) than the probability change jackpot judgment table (referred to as the jackpot judgment value or the second jackpot judgment value at the time of probability change) is set. . As a result, the probability variation state is determined to be a big hit with a higher probability than the normal state.

  The CPU 56 extracts the count value of the random number circuit 503 at a predetermined time and compares the extracted value with 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 jackpot determination values shown, it is decided to make a big jackpot (normal jackpot or probable big hit) for the special symbol. Note that the “probability” shown in FIG. 8A indicates the probability (ratio) of a big hit.

  FIGS. 8B and 8C are explanatory diagrams showing a jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 54. FIG. 8B shows a case where a big hit type is determined using a holding memory (also referred to as a first holding memory) based on a game ball winning in the first start winning opening 13 (a variation display of the first special symbol is displayed). 1 is a first special symbol jackpot type determination table (for the first special symbol) used when FIG. 8 (C) shows a case where a big hit type is determined using a holding memory (also referred to as a second holding memory) based on a game ball winning in the second start winning opening 14 (a variation display of the second special symbol is displayed). It is a 2nd special symbol jackpot type determination table used when it is performed.

  Each of the special symbol jackpot type determination tables of FIG. 8B and FIG. 8C is a random number (random 1) for determining the jackpot type when it is determined that the variable display result is a jackpot symbol. ), The type of jackpot is determined as one of “normal jackpot”, “probable big hit”, or “probable jackpot”, and is also referred to for determining the jackpot symbol.

  In the first special symbol jackpot type judgment table of FIG. 8 (B), there are numerical values to be compared with random 1 values, and judgments corresponding to “ordinary jackpot”, “probable variation jackpot”, and “crash jackpot”. Value (big hit type judgment value) is set. In the second special symbol jackpot type determination table of FIG. 8C, there are numerical values to be compared with random 1 values, which are judgment values corresponding to “normal jackpot” and “probability big hit” (jackpot type judgment). Value) is set.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 8B and 8C, the big hit type determination value is also used as a determination value (big hit symbol determination value) for determining the big hit symbol of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. The determination value corresponding to “probable big hit” is also set as the determination value corresponding to “7” of the big hit symbol of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. The determination value corresponding to “normal jackpot” is also set as the determination value corresponding to “3” of the jackpot symbol of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. The determination value corresponding to the “surprise big hit” is also set as the determination value corresponding to the big hit symbol “5” of the first special symbol.

  Using such a jackpot type jackpot type determination table, the CPU 56 determines the type corresponding to the jackpot type determination value that matches the random 1 value as the jackpot type and matches the random 1 value as the jackpot symbol. Determine the winning jackpot symbol. Thereby, the jackpot type and the jackpot symbol corresponding to the jackpot type are determined at the same time.

  In the first special symbol jackpot type determination table of FIG. 8 (B) and the second special symbol jackpot type determination table of FIG. 8 (C), the ratio determined for the jackpot that is in a high probability state is the same. The second special symbol jackpot type determination table has a higher ratio of selection of big hits (15 round big hits) with a larger number of rounds in the big hit gaming state than the first special symbol jackpot type determination table, and the jackpot game There is a high ratio of selecting big hits (15 round big hits) with a substantial number of possible winnings in the state. Therefore, when the second special symbol is a big hit than the first special symbol, the player has a higher degree of advantage with respect to winning the big prize opening (for example, there are substantially more rounds that can be won). The game is controlled to a big hit gaming state as an advantageous state.

  In this embodiment, an example is shown in which the sudden big hit is not selected in the second special symbol big hit type determination table of FIG. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the second special symbol jackpot type determination table of FIG. 8C, it is possible to select an abrupt big hit, but it is more accurate than the first special symbol jackpot type determination table of FIG. 8B. Data may be set so that the selection ratio for jackpots is high.

  FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents of the effect control command transmitted by the game control microcomputer 560. FIG. 9 shows specific command data regarding the effect control command, and the relationship between the name of the command and the designated content of the command. In the game control microcomputer 560 for effect control commands, various effect control commands are transmitted to the effect control microcomputer 100 in accordance with the game control state, as shown in FIG.

  The command 80XX (H) is an effect control command (variation pattern command) for designating a variation pattern of the effect symbol that is variably displayed on the effect display device 9 in response to the variation display of the special symbol (XX is a variation pattern number). And each command 80XX corresponds to the variation pattern XX). That is, when a unique number is assigned to each variation pattern that can be used, there is a variation pattern command corresponding to each variation pattern specified by that number. Since the variation pattern command is transmitted with a value specifying the variation pattern set in the EXT data, a variation pattern command different for each variation pattern is transmitted. “(H)” indicates a hexadecimal number. The effect control command for designating the variation pattern is also a command for designating the start of variation. Therefore, when receiving the command 80XX (H), the effect control CPU 101 controls the effect display device to start the effect symbol variation display.

  Commands 8C01 (H) to 8C04 (H) are display result designation commands indicating whether or not to make a big hit and the type of big hit.

  The command 8D01 (H) is a first symbol variation designation command indicating that the variation display of the first special symbol is started. Command 8D02 (H) is a second symbol variation designation command indicating that the variation display of the second special symbol is started. The command 8F00 (H) is a command (design determination designation command) for designating to end the variation of the first and second special symbols.

  The commands A001 to A003 (H) are jackpot start designation commands for designating the start of the jackpot gaming state for each jackpot type (normal jackpot, probability variation jackpot, sudden hit jackpot).

  The command A1XX (H) is an effect control command (special command during opening of a special winning opening) indicating a display of the number of times (round) indicated by XX while the special winning opening is open. Since the value specifying the round is set in the EXT data and transmitted for each round, the command indicating that the special prize opening is open is transmitted for each round. For example, when executing the first round during the big hit game, a special winning opening opening designation command (A101 (H)) for specifying round 1 is transmitted, and when executing the tenth round during the big hit game. Is a special winning opening open designation command (A10A (H)) for designating round 10. A2XX (H) is an effect control command (designation command after opening the big winning opening) indicating the closing of the big winning opening for the number of times (round) indicated by XX. Since the value specifying the round is set in the EXT data for each round and the designation command after opening the big prize opening is transmitted, a different designation command after opening the big prize opening is transmitted for each round. For example, when ending the first round during the big hit game, a designation command (A201 (H)) for opening the big prize opening designating round 1 is transmitted, and when the tenth round during the big hit game is ended. Is sent after a special winning opening opening command (A30A (H)) for designating round 10.

  The commands A301 to A303 (H) are jackpot end designation commands for designating the end of the jackpot gaming state for each jackpot type (normal jackpot, probability variation jackpot, sudden hit jackpot).

  Command B000 (H) is a normal state designation command for designating that the gaming state is a normal state (low probability / low base state). Command B001 (H) is a short time state designation command for designating that the gaming state is the short time state (high base state). Command B002 (H) is a probability variation state designation command for designating that the gaming state is a probability variation state (high probability state).

  The command C001 (H) is a first start winning designation command for designating that the first starting opening has been won. The command C002 (H) is a second start winning designation command for designating that a start winning has been won at the second start opening.

  The command C2XX (H) and the command C3XX (H) are effect control commands (winning time determination result designation command) indicating the contents of the winning time determination result. In the case of the first start port, XX is 01, and in the case of the second start port, XX is 02. Of these, the command C2XX (H) is a display result prefetching command indicating whether or not the winning determination result is a big hit and the determination result of the type of big hit. The command C3XX (H) is a variation pattern type prefetch command indicating which variation pattern type is to be selected among the winning determination results. In the case of the first start port, XX is 01, and in the case of the second start port, XX is 02. Instead of the variation pattern type prefetch command, a variation pattern prefetch command indicating what variation pattern is to be used may be used.

  These display result prefetching commands and variation pattern type prefetching commands are commands transmitted when a start winning is generated. The game control microcomputer 100 extracts random numbers 1 to 3 at random when a start winning occurs, and stores them as hold storage information. Based on the hold information, the random numbers are also determined at that time. The fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation and the result of the hit are judged. This is called “look ahead”. The game control microcomputer 100 transmits an indication result prefetch command and a variation pattern type prefetch command based on the prefetch result to the effect control board 80.

  The variation pattern includes a plurality of types of variation patterns depending on the variation time, whether to reach, whether to reach, whether to win or not. The variation pattern of “reach out” means a display result that forms a reach symbol, but a display result that is a deviated display result as a combination of display results of all symbols, or a variation pattern that derives such a display result.

  The types of variation patterns are divided into a plurality of types such as “non-reach”, “normal reach”, “long reach”, and “super reach”, for example. The type of “non-reach out” is a type that does not become reach but becomes out of reach. As described above, the type of “super reach” is a type set so that a big hit is likely to occur. The “normal reach” type is a type in which the variation time is relatively short among the types set so that the big hit is unlikely to occur compared to the super reach type. The “long reach” type is a type in which the variation time is longer than the normal reach among the types set so that the big hit is less likely to occur than the super reach type. The ROM 54 of the game control microcomputer 560 stores a variation pattern type determination table indicating the correspondence between the random value for determining the variation pattern type (random 2) and the variation pattern type to be selected.

  As the variation pattern type determination table, a table used when the display result is out of place, a table selected when the display result is a probable big hit, a table selected when the display result is an odd big hit, There is a table that is selected when the display result is usually a big hit. For example, in the variation pattern type determination table used when there is a deviation, the determination value of the random value (random 2) for determining the variation pattern type is 0 to 99 for the variation pattern type of non-reach, the variation pattern of normal reach The type is determined to be 100 to 199, the long reach variation pattern type is 200 to 229, and the super reach variation pattern type is 230 to 251.

  In each variation pattern type determination table, a random value (random 2) for determining the variation pattern type is assigned to each selectable variation pattern type.

  One or more variation patterns belong to each variation pattern type. For example, the variation pattern type of “non-reach” is “no reach”, “no reach B”, the variation pattern type of “normal reach” is normal reach A, normal reach B, and the variation pattern type of “long reach” is long. Each variation pattern of super reach A and super reach B belongs to the variation pattern type of reach A, long reach B, and “super reach”. Different variation patterns of the same type have different variation times (to the extent that they do not become other types) or the contents of the production. The ROM 54 of the game control microcomputer 560 stores, for each variation pattern type, a variation pattern determination table that indicates the correspondence between the variation pattern random number (random 3) and the variation pattern to be selected.

  When selecting and determining the variation pattern, the variation pattern type is determined using the random value for determining the variation pattern (random 2), and then the variation pattern is determined using the random value for determining the variation pattern (random 3). The

  Further, the table used for determining the variation pattern as described above (the table for determining the variation pattern type and the table for determining the variation pattern) includes a table for the normal state (low base state) and a time reduction state (high base state). State) and time table. The change pattern is determined using these tables depending on the gaming state. For example, the table used for determining the variation pattern in the short-time state is, for example, a variation pattern that becomes reach (particularly, a variation pattern of super reach) as compared with the table used to determine the variation pattern in the normal state. Data is set so that the ratio of selecting a fluctuation pattern with a relatively long fluctuation time is low. Since the variation pattern is selected at such a ratio, as a result, the average variation time is shorter in the time-short state than in the normal state (non-time-short state).

  The table used to determine the variation pattern in the short-time state has the same selection ratio of each variation pattern as compared to the table used to determine the variation pattern in the normal state, but the variation time of each variation pattern is the same. It may be shorter than that in the normal state. For example, by selecting a table used for determining a variation pattern in which the variation time is halved compared to that in the normal state in the time reduction state, the average variation time is controlled to be shorter in the time reduction state. be able to.

  Further, the selection rate of the fluctuation pattern may be controlled so as to be changed in accordance with the number of reserved memories when starting the fluctuation display. For example, a variation pattern determination table A used when the number of reserved memories when starting variable display is a predetermined number (for example, three) or more, and a variation pattern determination table used when it is less than the predetermined number B is provided. The variation pattern determination table A associates each variation pattern with the random number random 3 so that the variation pattern with a shorter variation time is selected in comparison with the variation pattern determination table B. In this way, when the number of reserved memories is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, it is easy to select a variation pattern with a short variation time, and it is possible to promote digestion of the reserved memory. As a result, it is possible to prevent as much as possible the occurrence of an invalid start prize that is not stored on hold even though the start prize has been won.

  As described above, the game control microcomputer 560 determines the variation pattern using the variation pattern determination table stored in the ROM and the random number value (random 3) extracted for the variation pattern determination.

  FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of an area (holding storage buffer) for storing data (holding storage information) such as random numbers corresponding to the holding storage on the game control microcomputer 560 side.

  As shown in FIG. 10, on the game control microcomputer 560 side, the first reserved storage buffer serving as the first reserved storage means has a storage area corresponding to the upper limit value (4 in this example) of the first reserved storage number. Is secured. In addition, a storage area corresponding to the upper limit value of the second reserved storage number (4 in this example) is secured in the second reserved storage buffer as the second reserved storage means. The first reserved storage buffer and the second reserved storage buffer are formed in the RAM 55. The first hold storage buffer and the second hold storage buffer store data such as random R (big hit determination random number) that is a hardware random number.

  In such a first hold storage buffer, hold storage data such as a jackpot determination random number obtained based on the start winning to the first start winning opening 13 is stored. In the second hold storage buffer, determination result hold storage data corresponding to hold storage data such as a jackpot determination random number obtained based on the start winning to the second start winning opening 14 is stored.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the game control microcomputer 560 on the main board 31 executes a predetermined main process, a timer interrupt is periodically executed every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) and the timer interrupt process is executed. As a result, various game controls can be executed.

  In the main processing, for example, necessary initial setting processing, normal time initialization processing, game state restoration processing other than normal time, random number circuit setting processing (random number circuit 503 is initially set), display random number update processing (variation pattern) (Variable random number update processing such as type determination and variation pattern determination), initial value random number update processing (ordinary symbol determination random number generation counter initial value initial value update processing), and the like.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the timer interrupt process. When the timer interrupt occurs, the CPU 56 executes the timer interrupt process of steps S (hereinafter simply referred to as “S”) 20 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 (S20). 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: 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 (S22). For the first special symbol display 8a, the second special symbol display 8b, and the normal symbol display 10, control for outputting a drive signal to each display according to the contents of the output buffer set in S32 and S33. Execute.

  In addition, a process of updating the count value of each counter for generating each determination random number such as a normal symbol determination random number and a big hit type determination random number used for game control is performed (determination random number update process: 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: S24, S25).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs a special symbol process (S26). In the special symbol process, a corresponding process is executed according to the first special symbol display 8a, the second special symbol display 8b, and a special symbol process flag for controlling the special winning award in a predetermined order. The value of the symbol process flag is updated according to the gaming state.

  Next, the normal symbol process is performed (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, and sets the value of the normal symbol process flag to the gaming state. Update accordingly.

  Further, the CPU 56 performs a process of sending an effect control command to the effect control microcomputer 100 (effect control command control process: S28). Further, the CPU 56 performs an information output process for outputting data such as jackpot information, starting information, probability variation information supplied to the hall management computer, for example (S29).

  Further, the CPU 56 executes prize ball processing 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 (S30).

  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 on / off of the solenoid in the RAM area corresponding to the output state of the output port. The contents are output to the output port (S31: output processing).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs special symbol display control processing for setting special symbol display control data for effect display of special symbols in an output buffer for setting special symbol display control data according to the value of the special symbol process flag ( S32).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs a normal symbol display control process of setting normal symbol display control data for effect display of the normal symbol in the output buffer for setting the normal symbol display control data according to the value of the normal symbol process flag ( S33). Further, the CPU 56 outputs a normal signal on the normal symbol display 10 by outputting a drive signal in S22 in accordance with the display control data set in the output buffer.

  Thereafter, the interrupt permission state is set (S34), and the process ends. With the above control, in this embodiment, the game control process is started every predetermined time.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the special symbol process (S26). In the special symbol process, a process for controlling the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b and the special winning opening is executed. In the special symbol process, a start port switch passing process is executed (S311). Then, any one of S300 to S307 is performed according to the internal state.

  The processing of S300 to S307 is as follows. The special symbol normal process (S300) is a process for determining whether or not the display result of the variable display is a big hit, and determining a big hit type when the big hit is made. The variation pattern setting process (S301) is a process for performing control such as determination of a variation pattern and start of timing of a variation time timer. In this variation pattern setting process, in addition to the variation pattern command, one of the first and second symbol variation designation commands is selected depending on which one of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is variably displayed. Sent.

  The display result designation command transmission process (S302) is a process for performing control to transmit a display result designation command to the effect control microcomputer 100. The special symbol changing process (S303) is a process that advances the process to the special symbol stop process when the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern selected in the fluctuation pattern setting process elapses. The special symbol stop process (S304) displays the fluctuation display on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b when the fluctuation time corresponding to the decided fluctuation pattern is timed by the fluctuation time timer. This is a process of stopping and deriving and displaying a stop symbol.

  The big winning opening opening pre-processing (S305) is a process of performing control for opening the big winning opening in the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 according to the type of the big hit. In the special winning opening opening process (S306), a control for transmitting a presentation control command for round display during the big hit gaming state to the microcomputer 100 for the presentation control, a process for confirming establishment of the closing condition of the special winning opening, and the like are performed. It is processing. When the closing condition of the big prize opening is satisfied and there are still remaining rounds, the process proceeds to the pre-opening process for the big winning opening. When all the rounds are finished, the process shifts to a big hit end process. The big hit end process (S307) is a process for performing control for causing the microcomputer 100 for effect control to perform display control for notifying the player that the big hit gaming state has ended.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the start port switch passing process of S312. The CPU 56 checks whether or not the first start port switch 13a is turned on (S1211). If the first start port switch 13a is not turned on, the process proceeds to S1221. If the first start port switch 13a is on, the CPU 56 determines whether or not the first reserved memory number has reached the upper limit (specifically, the first reserved memory for counting the first reserved memory number). It is confirmed whether or not the value of the number counter is 4 (S1212). If the first reserved storage number has reached the upper limit value, the process proceeds to S1221.

  If the first reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value, the CPU 56 increments the value of the first reserved memory number counter by 1 (S1213).

  Next, the CPU 56 extracts values from the random number circuit 503 and a counter for generating software random numbers, and executes a process of storing (storing) them in a storage area in the first reserved storage buffer (S1214). Specifically, in the process of S1214, a big hit determination random number (random R), a big hit type determination random number (random 1), a variation pattern type determination random number (random 2), and a variation pattern determination random number (random 3) are stored. (Stored). With regard to the following description regarding the hold storage, it may be indicated as “hold stored” that the information related to the start winning as described above is stored in the first hold storage buffer or the second hold storage buffer.

  Then, the CPU 56 sets whether or not the time-short flag (a flag that is set when controlling to the time-short state and the high base state at the end of the big hit gaming state) is set (S1215A) and whether or not the big hit state is being set ( S1215B) is determined. If the hourly flag is not set and the game is not in the big hit state, the CPU 56 executes a winning determination process (S1216). The determination process at the time of winning is based on the data of various random numbers stored in association with the detected start winning, whether or not the variation display corresponding to the starting winning is a big hit, the big hit type, the fluctuation pattern type and the fluctuation pattern Is a process of executing a process of determining in advance not at the start of the variable display but at the start winning prize. Next, the CPU 56 transmits to the effect control microcomputer 100 a display result look-ahead command that can identify the determination result of the jackpot type at the time of starting winning (the determination of whether or not the jackpot and the determination result of the jackpot type). The display result prefetch command transmission process to be executed is executed (S1217). Further, the CPU 56 executes a variation pattern type prefetch command transmission process for transmitting to the effect control microcomputer 100 a variation pattern type prefetch command that can specify the detected variation pattern determination result at the time of starting winning (S1218).

  In the case where either the time reduction flag is set or in the case of the big hit state, the CPU 56 does not execute the processing from S1216 to S1218, and advances the processing to S1219.

  Next, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit a first start winning designation command (S1219). When transmitting an effect control command to the effect control microcomputer 100, the CPU 56 sets an address of a command transmission table (preliminarily set for each command in the ROM) corresponding to the effect control command as a pointer. . Then, the address of the command transmission table corresponding to the effect control command is set in the pointer, and the effect control command is transmitted in effect control command control processing (S29).

  If it is determined in S1211 that the first start port switch is not in the ON state, if it is determined in S1212 that the first reserved memory number has reached the upper limit value, or a first start winning designation command is transmitted in S1219. After performing the control, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the second start port switch 14a is turned on (S1221). If the second start port switch 14a is not turned on, the process is terminated. If the second start port switch 14a is on, the CPU 56 determines whether or not the second reserved memory number has reached the upper limit value (specifically, the second reserved memory for counting the second reserved memory number). Whether or not the value of the number counter is 4 is confirmed (S1222). If the value of the second reserved memory number counter has reached the upper limit value, the process is terminated.

  If the second reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value, the CPU 56 increments the value of the second reserved memory number counter by 1 (S1223).

  Next, the CPU 56 extracts values from the random number circuit 503 and a counter for generating software random numbers, and executes a process of saving (storing) them in the save area in the second reserved storage buffer (S1224). Specifically, in the process of S1224, a big hit determination random number (random R), a big hit type determination random number (random 1), a variation pattern type determination random number (random 2), and a variation pattern determination random number (random 3) are stored. (Stored).

  Then, the CPU 56 executes a winning determination process similar to S1216 (S1226). Next, the CPU 56 transmits a display result prefetch command that can specify the detected display result at the time of starting winning a prize (determination of whether or not the big hit and determination of the big hit type) to the effect control microcomputer 100. A prefetch command transmission process is executed (S1227). Further, the CPU 56 executes a variation pattern type prefetch command transmission process for transmitting to the effect control microcomputer 100 a variation pattern type prefetch command capable of specifying the detected variation pattern at the time of starting winning (S1228). Next, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit the second start winning designation command (S1229) and ends the process.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the winning time determination process in S1216 and S1226. In the winning determination process, the CPU 56 first compares the jackpot determination random number (random R) extracted in S1214 and S1224 with the normal jackpot determination value shown in the left column of FIG. It is confirmed whether or not to perform (S220).

  In this embodiment, at the timing of starting the variation of the special symbol and the effect symbol, whether or not to make a big hit in the special symbol normal processing and the big hit type are determined, or the variation pattern (variation pattern type) is determined in the variation pattern setting processing. In addition, the display of the variation based on the start winning is started at the timing when the game ball starts to win the first starting winning opening 13 or the second starting winning opening 14 separately. Before being awarded, a winning determination process is executed to determine whether or not to win in advance, and the type and variation pattern of the jackpot in advance. By doing so, the variation display result and the variation pattern are predicted in advance before the variation display of the production symbol is executed, and the production control CPU 101 produces the production based on the determination result at the time of winning, as will be described later. A pre-reading notice is executed to predict that a big hit will be given while the symbols are changing.

  In this embodiment, the pre-reading notice can be executed only for the first special symbol when it is not in the high base state and in the big hit state, and only the second special symbol is executed in the high base state and the big hit state. A pre-reading notice can be executed as a target. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in any state, the pre-reading notice may be executed for both the variable display of the first special symbol and the variable display of the second special symbol. In addition, the pre-reading notice may be executed for both the first special symbol and the second special symbol during the low base state, and for the second special symbol during the high base state. Good.

  If the big hit determination random number (random R) does not match the normal big hit determination value (N in S220), the CPU 56 determines that the gaming state is a high probability state (probability change state. High probability high base state and high probability low base state). It is confirmed whether or not a probability variation flag (high probability flag) indicating that it is set is included (S221). The probability variation flag is set when the probability variation state is controlled at the end of the big hit gaming state. If the probability change flag is set, the CPU 56 compares the jackpot determination random number (random R) extracted in S1214 and S1224 with the jackpot determination value at the time of probability change shown in the right column of FIG. It is confirmed whether or not they match (S222).

  It should be noted that there is a possibility that a plurality of variation displays may be executed after confirming whether or not the state of probability variation has been made in S221 at the time of the start winning, until the actual display based on the start winning is actually started. is there. For this reason, the game state has changed (for example, depending on the number of times of change) after confirming in S221 whether or not it is in a probable variation state at the time of starting winning, until the actual display of variation based on that starting winning is started. When the game state changes, the game state may change from the probability change state to the normal state between the change count up to 100 times and after 100 times. Therefore, the gaming state determined in S221 at the time of starting winning and the gaming state determined at the start of variation (see S61 to be described later) do not necessarily match. In order to prevent such a discrepancy, a game with a change of the game state in the currently stored storage is specified, and a determination at the time of starting winning is made based on the changed game state. Also good.

  If the jackpot determination random number (random R) does not match the jackpot determination value at the time of probability change (N in S222), the CPU 56 performs a process of setting the EXT data indicating “out of” in the display result prefetch command. (S223).

  When the jackpot determination random number (random R) matches the jackpot determination value in S220 or S222, the CPU 56 determines the jackpot type based on the jackpot type determination random number (random 1) extracted in S1214 and S1224. (S224). In this case, when there is a start winning at the first start winning opening 13 (when executing the determination process at the time of winning in S1215), the CPU 56 determines the jackpot type determination table (first special) shown in FIG. It is determined whether the big hit type is “probable big hit”, “surprise big hit”, or “normal big hit”. When there is a start winning at the second start winning opening 14 (when the winning determination process at S1226 is executed), the big hit type determination table (for the second special symbol) shown in FIG. It is used to determine whether the big hit type is “probable big hit”, “surprise big hit”, or “normal big hit”.

  Then, the CPU 56 performs processing for setting the EXT data corresponding to the determination result of the jackpot type as a display result prefetch command (S225). For example, if it is determined that “probability big hit” is reached, the CPU 56 performs processing for setting EXT data indicating “probability big hit” in the display result prefetch command. In addition, when it is determined that the “surprise big hit” is obtained, the CPU 56 performs a process of setting the EXT data indicating “the big hit big hit” in the display result prefetch command. Further, when it is determined that the “normal big hit” is reached, the CPU 56 performs a process of setting the EXT data indicating the “normal big hit” in the display result prefetch command.

  Next, the CPU 56 uses the variation pattern type determination random number (random 2) extracted in S1214 and S1224 to determine the variation pattern type corresponding to each display result set in S223 and S225 (S226). For example, in S226, with respect to the reserved storage data to be determined for the variation pattern, the table used for determining the variation pattern is selected based on the display result of the variation display based on the reserved storage data, and the variation pattern type determination is performed. The variation pattern type is determined using a random number for use (random 2). This determination is performed by the same method as the above-described determination of the variation pattern type. For example, if the random number value of the variation pattern type determination random number (random 2) is 240, it is within the range of the determination value of the super reach variation pattern type, and therefore, it is determined to be the super reach variation pattern type.

  It should be noted that the determination based on the game state change or the like may be made based on information such as the jackpot determination random number and the jackpot type determination random number in the holding storage buffer when the start winning is generated.

  Then, the CPU 56 performs a process of setting the EXT data corresponding to the determination result to the variation pattern type prefetch command (S227). For example, when the change pattern type is determined for the super reach, the EXT data corresponding to the super reach is set in the change pattern type prefetch command.

  In step S226 and step S227, not only the variation pattern type determination random number (random 2) but also the variation pattern determination random number (random 3) is used to determine not only the variation pattern type but also the variation pattern type. Instead of the variation pattern type prefetch command, a variation pattern prefetch command indicating the type of variation pattern may be set.

  In addition, there is a possibility that a plurality of variable displays may be executed after confirming whether or not the time is short in S221 at the time of starting winning, and before starting the changing display based on the starting winning actually. There is. For this reason, the game state has changed from the time when it is determined whether or not the time is short in S226 to the time when the variable display based on the start winning is actually started (for example, the game state is changed depending on the number of times of change). In the case of a change, the gaming state may change from the short-time state to the normal state at the time when the number of changes is up to 100 times and after 100 times. Therefore, the gaming state determined in S221 at the time of starting winning and the gaming state determined at the start of variation do not always match.

  In order to prevent such a discrepancy, a game with a change of the game state in the currently stored storage is specified, and a determination at the time of starting winning is made based on the changed game state. Also good. In addition, the game state when the variation display based on the hold storage data is executed based on the data indicating the game state such as the time reduction flag and the time reduction counter for the hold storage data to be determined for the variation pattern Is selected, based on the display result of the variation display based on the reserved storage data, the table used for determining the variation pattern type is selected, and the variation pattern is determined using the variation pattern type determination random number (random 2). Determine the type.

  In addition, when the determination value of the variation pattern type changes depending on the number of reserved memories, it is not a variation pattern type prefetch command that directly indicates the variation pattern type corresponding to the random value of the variation pattern type determination random number (random 2). A command that indicates whether the random value is within the range of the judgment value range where the judgment of the variation pattern type changes depending on the number of reserved memories, or if it is within the range of the judgment value range of the variation pattern type May be set.

  Specifically, for example, when the number of reserved memories is 1 or 2, in the variation pattern type determination table, the determination value of the random number value (random 2) for determining the variation pattern type is a variation pattern type that is out of reach. 0 to 70, normal reach deviation variation pattern types 71 to 180, and super reach deviation variation pattern types 181 to 251.

  When the number of reserved memories is 3 or 4, in the variation pattern type determination table, the determination value of the random number value (random 2) for determining the variation pattern type is 0 to 140 for the variation pattern type of non-reach. Assume that the normal reach deviation variation pattern type is set to 141 to 220, and the super reach deviation variation pattern type is set to 221 to 251.

  In such a case, if the random value for determining the variation pattern type is in the range of 0 to 70, a variation pattern type prefetch command indicating that the non-reach is out of range is set. A variation pattern type prefetch command indicating that the normal reach is out of range is set. If the range is 141 to 180, a variation pattern type prefetch command is set to indicate that the normal reach is out of range. A variation pattern type prefetch command indicating that the reach is out of order is set, and if it is 221 to 251, a variation pattern type prefetch command indicating that the reach is out of reach is set. The effect microcomputer 100 executes a prefetch effect based on these variation pattern type prefetch commands. For this reason, it is possible to execute a prefetching effect in consideration of whether the prefetching is uncertain or certain prefetching.

  Next, the operation of the effect control microcomputer 100 as effect control means will be described. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the effect control main process executed by the effect control microcomputer 100 (specifically, the effect control CPU 101) mounted on the effect control board 80.

  The effect control CPU 101 starts executing the effect control main process when the power is turned on. In the effect control main process, first, an initialization process 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) (S701). ). Thereafter, the effect control CPU 101 proceeds to a loop process for monitoring a timer interrupt flag (S702). When a timer interrupt occurs, the effect control CPU 101 sets a timer interrupt flag in the timer interrupt process. In the effect control main process, if the timer interrupt flag is set, the effect control CPU 101 clears the flag (S703) and executes the following effect control process.

  On the side of the effect control board 80, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 31 is generated separately from the timer interrupt that occurs every time a predetermined time elapses. This interruption is, for example, an interruption that occurs when an effect control INT signal from the main board 31 is turned on. The effect control CPU 101 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt when the effect control INT signal is turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, a control signal that becomes an effect control command from a predetermined input port that receives a control signal transmitted from the main board 31 via the relay board 77 among the input ports included in the I / O. Take in. The effect control command fetched at this time is stored in an effect control command reception buffer provided in an effect control buffer setting unit in a RAM mounted on the effect control board 80, for example. As an example, when the production control command has a 2-byte configuration, the first byte (MODE) and the second byte (EXT) are sequentially received and stored in the production control command reception buffer. Thereafter, the effect control CPU 101 sets the interrupt permission, and then ends the command reception interrupt process.

  In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 101 first reads out various effect control commands stored in the effect control command reception buffer, analyzes the received effect control command, and sets a flag corresponding to the received effect control command. Is set (command analysis processing: S704).

  In this embodiment, the data constituting the production side hold storage buffer is stored in a predetermined area of the production control buffer setting unit. The effect-side reserved memory buffer includes an effect-side reserved memory buffer for the first special symbol and an effect-side reserved memory buffer for the second special symbol. Each production-side reserved storage buffer corresponds to the storage area (buffer numbers “1” to “4”) corresponding to the maximum value (“4”) of the number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. Area) is provided. When there is a start prize at the first start prize slot 13 or the second start prize slot 14, commands such as a first or second start prize designation command, a display result prefetch command, and a variation pattern type prefetch command are mainly displayed. The signal is transmitted from the board 31 to the effect control board 80.

  The effect control CPU 101 distinguishes the command in the order received at the time of the start winning, based on the first or second start winning designation command, corresponding to the first special symbol or the second special symbol. The command thus stored is stored in an empty area of the production-side reserved storage buffer for the corresponding first special symbol or second special symbol. If the command is normally received, the commands are stored in the storage areas corresponding to the buffer numbers “1” to “4” in each rendering side on-hold storage buffer. The stored command is deleted from the one stored in the first storage area (the area corresponding to the buffer number “1”) every time the display of variation of the effect design is started. Shifted.

  Next, the effect control CPU 101 performs effect control process processing (S705). In the effect control process, in order to perform various effects such as a change display of the effect symbol on the effect display device 9 in accordance with the contents of the effect control command analyzed in S704, the current control among the processes corresponding to the control state is performed. A process corresponding to the state (effect control process flag) is selected and the effect control is executed.

  Next, a random number for determining the stop symbol for the effect symbol and a random number for determining the selection of various effect contents (an effect pattern for pre-reading notice (change pattern of change display, change timing, change effect, and change gas effect to be described later)) And random number update processing for updating the count value of the counter for generating various random numbers (such as other random numbers for effect determination) (S706). Further, a hold memory display control process for controlling the display state of the first hold memory display unit 18c and the second hold memory display unit 18d is executed (S707). Thereafter, the process proceeds to S702.

  By executing such effect control main processing, the effect control microcomputer 100 transmits the effect display device 9, various lamps, and the like according to the effect control command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 560 and received. By controlling the production device such as the speaker 27, various production controls according to the gaming state are performed.

  For example, in the effect control microcomputer 100, when the variation pattern command is received, the variation display of the effect symbol is started, and when the symbol confirmation designation command is received, the variation display of the effect symbol is stopped. The fluctuation display is controlled so as to be executed at a fluctuation time corresponding to each fluctuation pattern command. Further, the stop symbol of the effect symbol is determined based on determining whether the game is out of play or jackpot based on the display result designation command and determining the jackpot type when the jackpot is hit.

  For example, when the probability variation big hit and the normal big hit are obtained, a big hit display result (a display result of a doublet) determined in advance corresponding to the big hit type is determined. When the winning hit is a winning big hit, the chance of a combination of symbols other than the big winning symbol combination is determined as the display result. When it is a big hit, it includes the case where the chance is the display result after reaching the reach state. In addition, when it is out of place, the combination of the left, middle, and right effect designs that do not have a flat eye is randomly determined as the result of the out-of-order display. However, if the change pattern command is a command that specifies that the reach is out of reach, the result of the out-of-order display that can form a reach design in which the left and right symbols are aligned during the change display is determined. On the other hand, if the fluctuation pattern command is a command that specifies that the reach pattern is not reached (usually change), the display result of non-reach that does not form a reach design in which the left and right symbols are aligned during the change display (non-reach) Determine the detachment.

  Further, when normal reach is designated in the variation pattern command, a reach effect corresponding to normal reach is performed. When a long reach is designated in the variation pattern command, a reach effect corresponding to each type of long reach is performed. Furthermore, when super reach is designated in the variation pattern command, reach effects corresponding to each type of super reach are performed.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the effect control process (S705) in the effect control main process shown in FIG. In the effect control process shown in FIG. 16, the effect control microcomputer 100 (specifically, the effect control CPU 101) executes a prefetch notice determination process (S700).

  Unlike the reach effect, during the effect symbol variation display, for example, a predetermined effect image is displayed, or an effect operation different from the effect symbol variation display operation, such as a message image display or voice output, etc. Depending on the situation, there is a possibility that the variation display state of the production symbol will be in the reach state, there is a possibility that the reach production by super reach may be executed, or the variation display result may be a “hit” Etc., a notice effect may be executed to notify the player in advance.

  The notice effect includes a notice effect called a prefetch notice effect (also referred to as a prefetch notice). In the pre-reading notice effect, the variable display result is “big hit” according to the production mode before the variable display that is subject to notice (the notice target) of the possibility that the variable display result will be “big hit” is executed. It is a notice effect that warns of the possibility of becoming. In comparison with the pre-reading notice effect, the notice effect that is executed after the start of the variable display to be notified is called a single notice effect (also referred to as a single notice or a notice effect during variable display). Here, the pre-reading notice effect is a jackpot notice effect, but may be a notice effect for notifying the possibility of reaching.

  In the prefetch notice determination process, whether or not to execute a prefetch notice effect (for example, an effect that changes the display mode of the hold storage) and the content of the effect are determined and executed. The effect is executed.

  In the effect control process, after executing the pre-reading notice determination process, the effect control CPU 101 performs one of 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.

  Fluctuation pattern command reception waiting process (S800): A process for performing a process of confirming whether or not a variation pattern command is received from the game control microcomputer 560. If the variation pattern command has been received, the process proceeds to the effect symbol variation start process.

  Effect symbol variation start process (S801): This is a process for controlling the variation display of the effect symbol (effect symbol) to be started.

  Production symbol variation processing (S802): Processing for controlling the switching timing of each variation state (variation speed) constituting the variation pattern.

  Effect symbol variation stop process (S803): This is a process of performing control to stop the variation display of the effect symbol (effect symbol) and derive and display the display result of the variation display (final stop symbol).

  Big hit display process (S804): This is a process of performing display control such as control for displaying a fanfare effect for notifying the effect display device 9 of the occurrence of a big win after the end of the variation time.

  In-round processing (S805): Processing for performing display control during a round. When the round end condition is satisfied, if the final round has not ended, the process proceeds to post-round processing, and if the final round has ended, the process proceeds to jackpot end processing.

  Post-round processing (S806): processing for controlling display between rounds. If the round start condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to in-round processing.

  Big hit end effect process (S807): In the effect display device 9, it is a process of performing display control for notifying the player that the big hit game state has ended.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an aspect when the player shoots the shooting target area of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 17A, the player holds the portable terminal 100 at a position where the shooting target area can be shot from the front of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and displays it on the effect display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1. The holding position is finely adjusted so that the predetermined image is captured by the camera unit 190 and displayed on the display unit 140.

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the hold storage display process on the gaming machine side and the portable terminal side. Referring to FIG. 18, the gaming machine-side reserved storage display process is executed as a subroutine of the above-described prefetch notice determination process.

  First, the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not the time reduction flag is set (S510). If it is determined that the time reduction flag is not set (NO in step S510), the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not a first start winning designation command has been received (step S511).

  When it is determined that the time reduction flag is set (YES in step S510), or when it is determined that the first start winning designation command has not been received (NO in step S511), the effect control CPU 101 executes. The process returns to the process that called the process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the first start winning designation command has been received (YES in step S511), that is, when there is a start winning of the first special symbol at the time of low base, the presentation control CPU 101 further reads the display result. It is determined whether a command has been received (step S512). When it is determined that the display result prefetch command has not been received (NO in step S512), the effect control CPU 101 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the display result prefetch command has been received (YES in step S512), the effect control CPU 101 determines the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the display result of the current winning winning storage indicated by the display result prefetch command. The display mode of the hold storage display on the side and the display mode of the hold storage display on the portable terminal 100 side are determined (step S513).

  FIG. 17B and FIG. 17C show tables for determining the display mode of the hold storage display on the gaming machine side and the portable terminal side, respectively. Referring to FIG. 17B, when the display result prefetch command indicates that the display result of the reserved memory is a big hit, the display mode of the reserved memory display on the pachinko gaming machine 1 side corresponding to the reserved memory Is determined with a probability of 60%, and no change is determined with a probability of 40%.

  When the display result prefetch command indicates that the display result of the reserved memory is out of place, the display mode of the reserved memory display on the pachinko gaming machine 1 side corresponding to the reserved memory may be set to “?”. % Is determined, and no change is determined with a probability of 90%.

  Referring to FIG. 17C, the display result prefetch command indicates that the display result of the reserved memory is a big hit, and the display mode of the reserved memory display on the pachinko gaming machine 1 side is “?”. When it is decided to do, it is determined with a probability of 60% that the display mode of the hold memory display on the portable terminal 100 side corresponding to the hold memory is a strong fire, and a low fire is 30% It is determined with a probability of 10% and it is determined with no probability that there is no change.

  If the display result pre-read command indicates that the display result of the reserved memory is a big hit and it is determined that the display mode of the reserved memory display on the pachinko gaming machine 1 side is unchanged, the reserved memory The display mode of the hold memory display on the mobile terminal 100 side corresponding to the above is determined to be a strong fire with a probability of 50%, and determined to be a weak fire with a probability of 30% and no change. Is determined with a probability of 20%.

  If the display result prefetch command indicates that the display result of the reserved memory is out of order, and it is determined that the display mode of the reserved memory display on the pachinko gaming machine 1 side is “?”, The reserved The display mode of the pending storage display on the portable terminal 100 side corresponding to the memory is determined to be a strong fire with a probability of 1%, and it is determined with a probability of 2% to be a weak fire, with no change. Is determined with a probability of 97%.

  When the display result pre-read command indicates that the display result of the reserved memory is out of order and it is determined that the display mode of the reserved memory display on the pachinko gaming machine 1 side is unchanged, the reserved memory The display mode of the hold memory display on the portable terminal 100 side corresponding to the above is determined to be a strong fire with a probability of 2%, and determined to be a weak fire with a probability of 4%, and no change Is determined with a probability of 94%.

  Returning to FIG. 18 (A), the CPU 101 for effect control has the determined display mode of the stored storage display on the mobile terminal 100 side embedded as a two-dimensional code (marker), and the determined display mode of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is displayed on the effect display device 9 (step S514). After that, the effect control CPU 101 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  FIG. 19 is a display screen diagram showing a display mode of the hold storage display on the gaming machine side and the portable terminal side. Referring to FIG. 19 (A), the first to third hold storage displays of the first hold storage display portion 18c of the effect display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 are display modes without change, and the fourth hold The memory display is a display mode of “?”. Thus, a two-dimensional code (marker) is embedded inside the hold storage display.

  Returning to FIG. 18 (A), on the mobile terminal 100 side, the mobile terminal-side reserved storage display process is executed as a subroutine of a dedicated application program for performing this game.

  First, the data processing unit 110 of the mobile terminal 100 determines whether or not there has been a shooting operation by operating the data input unit 130 (step S911). If it is determined that there is no shooting operation (NO in step S911), the data processing unit 110 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there has been a shooting operation (YES in step S911), the data processing unit 110 controls to display the image being shot on the display unit 140 as a moving image (step S912).

  Then, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not a two-dimensional code (marker) has been detected in the image being shot (step S913). If it is determined that the two-dimensional code (marker) has not been detected (NO in step S913), the process to be executed is returned to the caller process of this process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that a two-dimensional code (marker) has been detected (YES in step S914), the data processing unit 110 analyzes the detected two-dimensional code (step S914).

  Then, when the display mode indicated by the analyzed information is unchanged, the data processing unit 110 does not superimpose anything on the corresponding stored-holding display on the gaming machine side and displays a strong fire. In the case of a weak fire, the reserved storage display of the display mode indicated by the analyzed information is superimposed on the corresponding stored storage display on the side of the gaming machine that is captured and displayed, and is displayed on the display unit 140 of the mobile terminal 100. The display is controlled (step S915). Thereafter, the data processing unit 110 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  Referring to FIG. 19B, the first and third hold storage displays of the first hold storage display unit 118c of the display unit 140 of the portable terminal 100 are display modes without change, and the second hold storage display. Is a display mode of weak fire, and the fourth reserved memory display is a display mode of strong fire.

  As described above, in the storage mode display of the display mode without change, the display on the effect display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the camera unit 190 of the portable terminal 100, similarly to the effect display that is variably displayed. The captured image is displayed on the display unit 140 of the mobile terminal 100 as it is.

  Moreover, in the case of the hold memory display of the display mode of weak fire and strong fire, the corresponding hold memory display of the effect display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is imaged by the camera unit 190 of the mobile terminal 100 and the mobile terminal 100 A weak fire image and a strong fire image are superimposed and displayed at the locations displayed on the display unit 140, respectively.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing a process for causing the portable terminal side to execute the effect of the big hit round. Referring to FIG. 20, the jackpot effect process executed on mobile terminal 100 is executed as a subroutine of a dedicated application program, similar to the mobile terminal side stored storage display process described with reference to FIG.

  First, the data processing unit 110 of the mobile terminal 100 determines whether or not it is time to periodically update the effect data (step S931). Specifically, the data processing unit 110 confirms the time information and determines whether or not it is a fixed time (for example, 9 o'clock). If it is determined that it is not the periodical update (NO in step S931), the data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to the process in step S921.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that it is a periodical update (YES in step S931), the data processing unit 110 inquires of the information providing server 200 whether there is an effect that can be updated (step S932).

  The unintroduced effect introduction process is executed as a subroutine of the main program executed by the information providing server 200. The data processing unit 210 of the information providing server 200 determines whether there has been an inquiry from the mobile terminal 100 as to whether there is an effect that can be updated (step S811). If it is determined that there is no inquiry (NO in step S811), the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there is an inquiry (YES in step S811), the data processing unit 210 determines whether there is an effect that can be updated (step S813). If it is determined that there is no effect that can be updated (NO in step S813), the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there is an effect that can be updated (YES in step S813), the data processing unit controls the communication unit 260 so as to transmit the effect data to be updated to the mobile terminal 100 that has made the inquiry (step S814). . Thereafter, the data processing unit 10 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  On the mobile terminal 100 side, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not effect data has been received from the information providing server 200 (step S933). If it is determined that the effect data has not been received (NO in step S933), data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to the process in step S921.

  If it is determined that the effect data has been received (YES in step S933), the data processing unit 110 causes the storage unit 120 to store the received effect data. Thereafter, the process to be executed is advanced to the process of step S921.

  In this way, when the production data is newly created by the processing so far, new production data is introduced on the mobile terminal 100 side, or production data already introduced on the mobile terminal 100 side is used. And can be updated. In addition, the production data can be updated automatically at a predetermined time.

  Next, on the pachinko gaming machine 1 side, a two-dimensional code output process is executed as a subroutine for the round process. First, the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not the effect during the big hit round is a big hit effect that displays a two-dimensional code (step S521). If it is determined that it is not a big hit effect for displaying the two-dimensional code (NO in step S521), the effect control CPU 101 returns the process to be executed to the process of the caller of this process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the jackpot effect is to display the two-dimensional code (YES in step S522), the effect control CPU 101 performs control to display the image 91 including the two-dimensional code together with the effect image of the jackpot effect (step S522). S522). After that, the effect control CPU 101 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  FIG. 21 is a first display screen diagram for explaining the effect of the big hit round. FIG. 22 is a second display screen diagram for explaining the effect of the big hit round. With reference to FIG. 21 (A) and FIG. 22 (A), when the process of step S522 of FIG. 20 is executed, the effect display device 9 displays 2 in the lower left part of the effect image at the time of the big hit round. An image 91 including a dimension code is displayed.

  Returning to FIG. 20, on the mobile terminal 100 side, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not a two-dimensional code reading operation has been performed by operating the data input unit 130 (step S921). If it is determined that the two-dimensional code reading operation has not been performed (NO in step S921), the data processing unit 110 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the two-dimensional code reading operation has been performed (YES in step S921), the data processing unit 110 displays the two-dimensional code included in the image 91 displayed on the effect display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1. The camera unit 190 is controlled to read (step S922).

  Next, the data processing unit 110 analyzes the read two-dimensional code (step S923). Then, the data processing unit 110 executes the effect indicated by the effect data indicated by the analyzed two-dimensional code from the effect data stored in the storage unit 120, and the effect image 192 of the effect (a still image is a still image). Display part 140 is controlled so as to be superimposed on the effect screen during the round of the pachinko gaming machine 1 being shot. Thereafter, the data processing unit 110 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  Referring to FIG. 21B, when the effect data indicated by the two-dimensional code is not yet stored in the storage unit 120 of the mobile terminal 100, information 191 indicating that (character “ComingSoon” in this case) ) Is displayed on the display unit 140 of the mobile terminal 100.

  With reference to FIG. 22B, when the effect data indicated by the two-dimensional code is stored in the storage unit of the mobile terminal 100, the effect image 192 indicated by the effect data is being photographed and is displayed on the display unit 140. Is displayed superimposed on the effect screen during the round of the pachinko gaming machine 1 displayed.

[Modifications and features]
Next, modifications, feature points, and the like of the embodiment described above are listed below.

  (1) In the above embodiment, a pseudo-continuous effect may be executed as an effect to be executed in the variable display. The pseudo-continuous is a pseudo-continuous variation that is an effect display that makes it appear that a plurality of variations corresponding to a plurality of reserved memories are continuously performed although it is originally a variation corresponding to one reserved memory. Is an abbreviation for

  (2) In the said embodiment, you may make it perform a slip effect as an effect performed in a variable display. Slip refers to an effect display in which the symbol is slid from the predicted stop position immediately before the symbol stops in the variable display.

  (3) In the above-described embodiment, in order to notify the effect control microcomputer 100 of the change pattern indicating the change mode such as the change time, the type of reach effect, and the presence / absence of pseudo-continuous, 1 Although an example in which one variation pattern command is transmitted is shown, the variation pattern may be notified to the effect control microcomputer 100 by two or more commands. Specifically, in the case of notification by two commands, the game control microcomputer 560 uses the first command to indicate whether there is a pseudo-ream, a slide effect, etc. before reaching (so-called if not reach). A command indicating the variation time and variation mode before the second stop) is transmitted, and the second command has reached the reach such as the type of reach and presence / absence of re-lottery effect (if the reach does not reach, the so-called first You may make it transmit the command which shows the fluctuation | variation time and fluctuation | variation aspect (after 2 stop). In this case, the effect control microcomputer 100 may perform effect control in variable display based on the variable time derived from the combination of two commands. The game control microcomputer 560 notifies the change time by each of the two commands, and the effect control microcomputer 100 selects the specific change mode executed at each timing. It may be. When sending two commands, two commands may be sent within the same timer interrupt. After sending the first command, a certain period of time has passed (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 appropriately changed. In this way, by notifying the variation pattern by two or more commands, the amount of data that must be stored as the variation pattern command can be reduced.

  (4) In the above-described embodiment, the effect control board 80, the audio output board 70, and the lamp driver board 35 are provided as the boards on which the circuit for controlling the effect device is mounted. May be mounted on one substrate. Further, a first effect control board (display control board) on which a circuit for controlling the effect display device 9 and the like is mounted, and a circuit for controlling other effect devices (lamps, LEDs, speakers 27R, 27L, etc.) are mounted. Alternatively, two substrates, the second effect control substrate, may be provided.

  (5) The above-described embodiment is not limited to a payout type gaming machine that pays out a predetermined number of prize balls in response to detection of a prize ball, and the game balls are enclosed as follows. The present invention can also be applied to an enclosed game machine that gives points in response to detection. Specifically, in the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment, a game ball is paid out as a prize to the player, and the game ball (which may be a rental ball) that the player has paid out is launched into the game area. Although it was a gaming machine to be performed, a game score for use in a game is given using the number of game values of the size specified by the record information of a game recording medium such as a prepaid card or a membership card In addition, the present invention is also applied to a gaming machine in which a player plays a game by hitting a game ball enclosed in the gaming machine using the given game score or the game score given by winning a game. Can be applied. In other words, after the game medium (game ball) passes through the start area, based on the establishment of the start condition that allows the start of the variable display, a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified are displayed in a variable manner and a display result is derived. A game machine that includes a variable display device for displaying, and when the specific display result is derived and displayed on the variable display device, the game machine shifts to a specific game state that is advantageous to a player. A game ball encapsulated in the gaming machine is used to play the game area, and the game score is subtracted in response to the game ball being driven, and the game ball wins the winning area provided in the game area. Accordingly, the present invention can be applied to a gaming machine that adds game scores accordingly. Such a gaming machine includes a gaming recording medium insertion slot for inserting a gaming recording medium in which information capable of specifying the magnitude of gaming value that can be used to add gaming scores, and a gaming recording You may provide the game recording medium processing means which reads the recording information currently recorded on the game recording medium inserted in the medium insertion port.

  (6) The embodiment described above can also be applied to an apparatus such as a game machine that simulates the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1. The program and data for realizing the above-described embodiment are not limited to a form distributed and provided to a computer device or the like by a detachable recording medium, but may be stored in advance in a storage device such as a computer device or the like. You may take the form distributed by pre-installing. Furthermore, the program and data for realizing the present invention are distributed by downloading from other devices on a network connected via a communication line or the like by providing a communication processing unit. It doesn't matter. The game embodiment is not only executed by attaching a removable recording medium, but can also be executed by temporarily storing a program and data downloaded via a communication line or the like in an internal memory or the like. It is also possible to execute directly using hardware resources on the other device side on a network connected via a communication line or the like. Further, the game can be executed by exchanging data with other computer devices or the like via a network.

  (7) In the variation pattern setting process, the selection ratio of the variation pattern type is set differently when the number of reserved memories of each special symbol to be varied is greater than or equal to a predetermined number and less than the predetermined number. By selecting a variation pattern using the variation pattern table, the number of reserved memories of each special symbol is less than the predetermined number when the number of reserved symbols of each special symbol that displays variation is a predetermined number (for example, 2) or more. As compared with the case of the above, it is also possible to execute the hold number shortening control in which the variation time is shortened. For example, a first variation pattern table used when the number of reserved memories is less than a predetermined number and a second variation pattern table used when the number of reserved memories is a predetermined number or more are provided. The data is set so that the average value of the variation times of the variation patterns selected is shorter than that of the first variation pattern table. Then, when selecting the variation pattern in the variation pattern setting process, it is checked whether or not the number of reserved memories of each special symbol is equal to or larger than a predetermined number. If the number of reserved memories is less than the predetermined number, the first variation When the variation pattern is determined using the pattern table and the number of reserved memories is equal to or larger than the predetermined number, the variation pattern may be determined using the second variation pattern table. If such a hold number reduction control is performed, the hold storage information can be digested at an early stage, and generation of useless start winnings can be suppressed, and a big hit gaming state can be generated at an early stage. In addition, such a hold number shortening control calculates the sum hold memory number which added the hold memory information number of the 1st special symbol, and the hold memory information number of the 2nd special symbol, and the said sum hold memory number is specified. You may make it perform on condition that it is more than a number (for example, 3).

  When such hold number reduction control is executed, for example, whether or not the hold number reduction control is executed in order to ensure the consistency between the pre-reading notice and the change display at the time of actual change display. Regardless of the variation pattern table, a specific variation pattern such as a reach variation pattern is determined so that the same variation pattern is determined based on random 2 (variation pattern type determination random number) and random 3 (variation pattern determination random number). Data may be set and control may be performed so that the prefetch notice can be executed for the specific variation pattern. Note that when the variation pattern type prefetch command is used, the variation pattern type is prefetched without pre-fetching the detailed variation pattern, and the variation pattern type prefetch designation command for specifying the prefetched variation pattern type is transmitted. For a specific variation pattern such as a pattern, the variation pattern table data is set so that the same variation pattern type is determined based on random 2 (random number for variation pattern type determination) without using random 3 as described above. In addition, it is only necessary to perform control that enables the prefetching notice to be executed for the specific variation pattern.

  In the embodiment described above, in the variation pattern type determination table used when there is a loss, the determination value of the random value (random 2) for determining the variation pattern type is the variation pattern of the non-reach deviation that has the shortest variation time. Although the type is set to 0 to 99, when the hold number reduction control is performed, when the hold number is small (for example, 0 to 2), the determination value is set to 0 to 99 for the non-reach variation pattern type. When the number of holdings is large (for example, 3 and 4), the determination value is set to 0 to 150 for the non-reach deviation variation pattern type, and the determination value is set to the holding storage number for the super reach variation pattern type. Do not change it accordingly. As a result, it is possible to accelerate the digestion of the reserved memory by the non-reach deviation variation display with the shortest variation time. In addition, since the hold storage determined to be super reach at the time of starting winning is determined to be super reach even at the start of fluctuation, it is possible to eliminate the influence on the pre-reading effect related to super reach.

  (8) In the embodiment described above, the reserved memory for the second special symbol may be preferentially digested (hereinafter referred to as “preferential digestion”). Specifically, if there is a reserved storage for the second special symbol, the variable display of the second special symbol may be executed first.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reserved memory of the first special symbol and the second special symbol may be digested in the winning order (hereinafter referred to as “winning order digest”). In other words, the stored memory for the start winning to the first starting port or the second starting port is stored in the order of winning, and the variable display for the stored storing is executed in the order of winning. Specifically, the reserved storage buffer shown in FIG. 10 is changed to store a predetermined number (for example, 8) without distinction between the first start prize and the second start prize, and the first reserved memory is the first start. It is determined whether it is the reserved memory of the mouth or the reserved memory of the second starting port, and if it is the reserved memory of the first starting port, the process related to the first special symbol is performed, and the reserved memory of the second starting port For example, the process related to the second special symbol is performed.

  (9) In the above-described embodiment, until the high probability state and the high base state are displayed for a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times), or the next time, a big hit occurs in the special symbol and the effect symbol. Until now, whichever comes first. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at least one of the high probability state and the high base state may continue until the next big hit occurs.

  (10) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18 (A), at the time of low base and when a start winning memory of the first special symbol occurs, the gaming machine side and the portable terminal side The pre-reading notice effect that changes the on-hold storage display is executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pre-reading notice effect may be executed when other conditions are satisfied, for example, when the start winning memory of the second special symbol occurs. Or it may be at the time of high base.

  (11) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in step S513 in FIG. 18A, the display mode of the hold storage display on the portable terminal 100 side is determined on the pachinko gaming machine 1 side. I made it. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be determined on the mobile terminal 100 side.

  (12) In the embodiment described above, as shown in FIG. 18B and FIG. 18C, depending on whether or not it is a big hit, the reserved storage on the pachinko gaming machine 1 side and the portable terminal 100 side The determination ratio of the display mode of the display was changed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the determination ratio may be changed according to the variation pattern type indicated by the variation pattern type prefetch command.

  Further, in step S512 of FIG. 18B, it is confirmed whether or not a variation pattern type prefetch command is received in addition to the display result prefetch command, and in step S513, in addition to the display result prefetch command, the variation pattern type is confirmed. Based on the prefetch command, the determination ratio of the display mode of the hold storage display on the pachinko gaming machine 1 side and the portable terminal 100 side may be changed.

  Specifically, the determination ratio may be changed in accordance with any one of “big hit”, “super-reaching out” and “out-of-super reach”. For example, a display mode with a higher degree of expectation (for example, “?” On the pachinko gaming machine 1 side, “strong fire on the mobile terminal 100 side) than when“ out of super reach ”is selected when“ super-reach off ”occurs. ") May be determined at a high rate.

  When the “blue” display mode with a low expectation and the “red” display mode with a high expectation are provided as the display mode of the hold storage display, the display mode on the pachinko gaming machine 1 side and the display mode on the mobile terminal 100 side Even in combination, the determination ratio of the display mode of the hold storage display on the pachinko gaming machine 1 side and the portable terminal 100 side may be changed so that the degree of expectation is different.

  In this case, simply, a combination of display modes with a high degree of expectation (for example, a combination of “red” and “strong fire”) has a high degree of expectation, and a combination of display forms with a low degree of expectation has a high degree of expectation. It may be low.

  Further, a combination of a display mode having a low expectation level on the gaming machine side and a display mode having a high expectation level on the external terminal side may have a high expectation level or a low expectation level. For example, despite the fact that it is “blue” or “no change” on the pachinko gaming machine 1 side, the mobile terminal 100 side is “strong fire”, so the degree of expectation is high (even if the big hit is confirmed) Good). In this way, even if the hold memory display of the display mode with low expectation is displayed on the pachinko gaming machine 1 side, the discouragement of the player can be suppressed.

  Further, a combination of a display mode having a high expectation level on the gaming machine side and a display mode having a low expectation level on the external terminal side may have a low expectation level or a high level. For example, although it is “red” on the pachinko gaming machine 1 side, the expectation may be low because the mobile terminal 100 side becomes “weak fire” or “no change”. In this way, the player's sense of tension can be maintained even when the hold memory display in a display mode with high expectation is displayed on the pachinko gaming machine 1 side.

  (13) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in step S514 of FIG. 18A, when the display mode of the hold storage display is changed when the hold storage occurs, it is changed from the beginning. did. However, the present invention is not limited to this. At first, the hold memory display is displayed in the display mode without change, and the display mode is different from the time when the hold memory is generated (for example, when other hold memory is consumed). May be changed.

  In this case, it may be determined whether to change the display mode at every changeable timing. Alternatively, the timing to be changed may be determined in advance, and the display mode may be changed when the timing is reached.

  (14) In the above-described embodiment, the game image relating to a predetermined game for which the start condition is not satisfied is an image of a stored storage display in the pachinko gaming machine 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the game image relating to the predetermined game for which the start condition is not satisfied may be another image, for example, later in the ART (assist replay time) in the slot machine 1A. It may be an image showing the expected degree of addition of the number of ART games.

  For example, on the display unit of the slot machine 1A, an image indicating the expected degree of addition in a game started later is displayed as a character. On the display unit 140 of the mobile terminal 100, the image is displayed and photographed on the slot machine 1A. Information indicating the number of additional games directly (for example, a character “+ 100G”) may be displayed by superimposing it on a character indicating the expected degree of addition. In addition, the expectation degree to win the extra lottery may be displayed together with the extra game number or instead of the extra game number.

  In addition, a game image related to a predetermined game for which the start condition is not established on the gaming machine side is displayed, and an effect image corresponding to the content of the predetermined game executed corresponding to the game image on the external terminal side is displayed on the game image. In the case of the slot machine 1A, the corresponding display is not limited to during the ART, but may be during the period from winning the bonus to winning, or after winning the rare role, It may be a period until it is determined whether or not an AT (assist time) is won (a period during which a bonus or AT is expected to be won). For example, when a predetermined number of game images such as the on-hold storage display in FIG. 19 are displayed from a game won as a rare role and the game images are photographed with an external terminal, an effect image indicating the expected degree of winning of a bonus or AT is obtained. It is displayed on the external terminal in association with the game image. Also, it may be during a bonus. In this case, for example, when one or a plurality of game images such as the on-hold storage display of FIG. 19 are displayed from the game that has won the bonus, and the game image is captured by an external terminal, the possibility of winning an AT or the AT game The effect image indicating the number or the like is displayed on the external terminal in association with the game image.

  Further, in the case of not informing the player of the transition timing of the internal state of the slot machine 1A, the external terminal side may suggest or notify the possibility of the transition of the internal state and the number of games until the transition.

  In addition, in the slot machine 1A, when the freeze occurs, the number of AT wins or ART games is added, and it is possible to determine the number of games after which the freeze is generated. You may make it suggest or alert | report the number of games.

  (15) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, in particular, the display that prompts the portable terminal 100 to shoot the effect display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is not performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be displayed on the effect display device 9 to prompt the photographing.

  (16) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, the two-dimensional code (marker) is displayed inside the reserved storage display. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a two-dimensional code (marker) may be displayed at another location.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. After the two-dimensional code is read by the portable terminal 100, the effect data is acquired from the information providing server 200 of the URL of the access destination indicated by the two-dimensional code, and the effect data is The effect image shown may be displayed. In this way, it is possible to display the effect image based on the latest effect data without waiting for the update timing of the effect data stored in the mobile terminal 100. In this case, it is not necessary to provide the processing in steps S931 to S934 in FIG. That is, the effect data of the effect image is not stored in the mobile terminal 100 but is stored in the information providing server 200 and is updated in the information providing server 200.

  (18) In the embodiment described above, as shown in FIG. 20, the display of the effect on the mobile terminal 100 based on the two-dimensional code output from the gaming machine such as the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a big hit (for example, , During the jackpot round). However, the display of such effects is not limited to this, and the display of such effects may be performed during the reach in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Further, during the display of the demonstration screen that is executed when the effect display device 9 is not performing the effect symbol variation display or the jackpot effect display, the two-dimensional code is displayed and the portable terminal side of the gaming machine is displayed. An effect that introduces the features of the model may be displayed.

  (19) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, it is possible to update the display of the effect on the mobile terminal 100 performed during the big hit. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is possible to update the display of the effect displayed on the portable storage device 100 described with reference to FIG. Also good.

Configured. The effect corresponding to the two-dimensional code can be updated at a timing after the two-dimensional code is incorporated into the gaming machine.

  In this case, the update timing is not limited to one time, and may be a plurality of times. In the case of multiple times, when the effect data is updated depending on the time when the two-dimensional code is photographed, the effect image displayed on the external terminal such as the mobile terminal 100 is different, and the entertainment of the game can be improved. .

  (21) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, one two-dimensional code is displayed for one reserved storage display. That is, one two-dimensional code for displaying an effect image corresponding to a predetermined game content executed corresponding to one hold storage display in association with the game image is displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one two-dimensional code for displaying an effect image corresponding to a predetermined game content executed corresponding to each of all the stored storage displays in association with the game image is displayed. It may be. For example, one two-dimensional code may be displayed for all the stored storage displays.

  (22) In the above-described embodiment, a plurality of types of two-dimensional codes corresponding to the changes shown in FIG. 19 may be provided. A plurality of types of two-dimensional codes corresponding to each of a weak fire and a strong fire may be provided.
