[3-4. LCD control board]
Next, a liquid crystal control board 4150 that performs drawing control of the liquid crystal display device 1400 on the peripheral board 4010, as illustrated, a liquid crystal control MPU 4150a as a microprocessor, and a liquid crystal control that stores various processing programs, various commands, and various data. ROM 4150b, VDP (Video Display Processor) 4150c for controlling the display of the above-described liquid crystal display device 1400, character ROM 4150d for storing various screen data displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400, and character ROM 4150d. And a character RAM 4150e to which various data are transferred and copied.

  The liquid crystal control MPU 4150a includes a parallel input / output port, a serial input / output port, and the like. When the display command is received from the peripheral control board 4140, the detailed description thereof will be described later. Then, the VDP 4150c is controlled to perform drawing control of the liquid crystal display device 1400. When the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a is operating normally, as described above, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a outputs an operation signal to that effect to the peripheral control board 4140.

  The liquid crystal control ROM 4150b stores a plurality of schedule data corresponding to display commands, non-resident area transfer schedule data corresponding to display commands, and the like in addition to various programs for generating a screen to be drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1400. The schedule data is configured by arranging screen data defining the screen configuration in time series, and the order of screens drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1400 is defined. The non-resident area transfer schedule data is constituted by arranging non-resident area transfer data that defines the order when transferring various data stored in the character ROM 4150d to a non-resident area (to be described later) of the character RAM 4150e. . In this non-resident area transfer data, the order of transferring various data from the character ROM 4150d to the non-resident area of the character RAM 4150e in advance is defined for the screen data drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1400 according to the progress of the schedule data.

  Upon receiving a display command from the peripheral control board 4140, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a extracts schedule data corresponding to the display command, extracts the top screen data of the extracted schedule data from the liquid crystal control ROM 4150b, and outputs it to the VDP 4150c. . Then, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a extracts screen data following the top screen data and outputs the screen data to the VDP 4150c. As described above, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a extracts screen data arranged in time series in the schedule data one by one from the head screen data, and outputs the extracted screen data to the VDP 4150c.

  When the screen data output from the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a is input, the VDP 4150c extracts sprite data (to be described later) from the character RAM 4150e based on the input screen data and generates drawing data to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400. The generated drawing data is output to the liquid crystal display device 1400. The VDP 4150c employs a line buffer method. In this “line buffer system”, drawing data for one line for drawing the horizontal direction of the liquid crystal display device 1400 is held in the line buffer, and the drawing data for one line held in this line buffer is stored in the liquid crystal display device 1400. This is the output method.

  The character ROM 4150d stores an extremely large amount of sprite data and has a large capacity. When the capacity of the character ROM 4150d increases, that is, when the number of sprites drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1400 increases, the access speed of the character ROM 4150d cannot be ignored, and the drawing speed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 is affected. Therefore, in this embodiment, the sprite data stored in the character ROM 4150d is transferred and copied to the character RAM 4150e having a high access speed, and the sprite data is extracted from the character RAM 4150e. The sprite data is base data that is data before the sprite is expanded into the bitmap format, and is stored in the character ROM 4150d in a compressed state.

  Here, the “sprite” is an image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 as a unit. For example, when various kinds of people are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400, data for drawing each person is called “sprite”. Thus, when a plurality of persons are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400, a plurality of sprites are used. In addition to a person, a house, a mountain, a road, and the like constituting the background are also sprites, and the entire background can be a single sprite. These sprites are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 by setting the position on the screen and the vertical relationship when the sprites overlap (hereinafter, referred to as “sprite superposition sequence”).

  Note that the sprite is formed by bonding a plurality of rectangular regions of 64 pixels vertically and horizontally. Data for drawing this rectangular area is called a “character”. In the case of a small sprite, it can be expressed using one character, and in the case of a relatively large sprite such as a person, for example, it is expressed using a total of 6 characters arranged in 2 × 3 horizontal, for example. be able to. In the case of a larger sprite such as the background, it can be expressed using a larger number of characters. Thus, the number and arrangement of characters can be arbitrarily designated for each sprite.

  The liquid crystal display device 1400 has 800 pixels in the horizontal direction and 600 pixels (SVGA) in the vertical direction, and displays each pixel in one direction along the pixels sequentially from the left to the right of the liquid crystal display device 1400. It is driven by main scanning for setting a state and sub-scanning for repeatedly performing main scanning in a direction crossing one direction. When the drawing data for one line output from the liquid crystal control board 4150 is input to the liquid crystal display device 1400, the liquid crystal drive circuit 1315b performs the main scanning on the liquid crystal display device 1400 based on the drawing data for one line. Are sequentially output from the left to the right for pixels for one line. When the output for one line is completed, the process proceeds to the line immediately below as sub-scanning. Similarly, when drawing data for the next line is input, liquid crystal display is performed as main scanning based on the drawing data for the next line. In order from the left to the right of the device 1400, the data is output to pixels for one line.

  Further, the liquid crystal display device 1400 includes a backlight (cold cathode tube) that is turned on by the inverter substrate 1411.

[4. Game contents]
The game content in the pachinko machine 1 of this embodiment will be specifically described. In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the game ball stored in the storage tray 311 of the tray unit 300 is transparent when the player rotates the operation handle portion 461 disposed at the lower right of the door frame 5. A game is started with a game ball by being driven into the upper part of the game area 605 disposed on the front surface of the game panel 600. The game ball that has been driven into the upper part of the game area 605 flows down in the game area 605 on the upper left side or the right side of the center accessory 2400 depending on the driving strength. Note that the game ball driving strength can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the operation handle portion 461, and the game ball can be driven more strongly as it is rotated in the clockwise direction. Also, in the game area 605, a plurality of obstacle nails are planted on the front surface of the game panel 600 in a predetermined gauge arrangement at appropriate positions, and the game balls come into contact with the obstacle nails so that the game balls flow down. The speed is suppressed, and various movements are given to the game ball so that the movements can be enjoyed.

  When the game ball that has been driven into the upper part of the center accessory 2400 flows down from the left and right sides to the upper shelf 2404 of the center accessory 2400, the upper shelf 2404 moves to the left area of the center accessory 2400. It is induced. When the game ball flowing down the left side of the center accessory 2400 enters and passes through the gate 2302 of the gate member 2300 disposed on the left side of the center accessory 2400 and is detected by the gate sensor 2304, the game signal is based on the detection signal. In the main control board 4100, a normal random number is generated. Based on the normal random number, the normal symbol of the normal symbol display 645 in the function display unit 1400 is displayed in a variable manner (the normal symbol display 645 composed of one LED emits light alternately in red, green and orange), A normal symbol based on a normal random number (normal lottery result) extracted after a lapse of a predetermined time (for example, between 2 seconds to 30 seconds) is stopped (the normal symbol display 645 emits light in either red or green). Is done. The normal symbol fluctuation display is performed based on the normal symbol fluctuation pattern selected from a predetermined normal symbol fluctuation pattern selection table in the normal symbol fluctuation pattern selection means 4204.

  Specifically, if the selected random number is a “normal hit” random number, the normal symbol indicating the win is stopped and displayed (the normal symbol display 645 emits green light), and the selected normal random number is a “normal lose” random number. In the case of, stop display is performed with a normal symbol suggesting a loss (the normal symbol display 645 emits red light). Then, when the normal symbol indicating the hit is stopped and displayed, the pair of movable pieces 2105 for closing the second start port 2102 are expanded for a predetermined time (for example, between 0.3 seconds and 3 seconds), and the first A game ball can be awarded to the second starting port 2102.

  Note that the fluctuation time of the normal symbol and the expansion time of the movable piece 2105 at the second start port 2102 may be changed according to a special random number and a symbol random number (special lottery result) to be described later. When "short time per hour (including low probability short time per hour, high probability short time per hour, etc.)" is extracted as a random number and a design random number (special lottery result), the fluctuation time and expansion time are changed to a short time. You may do it. Specifically, in the normal symbol fluctuation pattern table used when selecting the normal symbol fluctuation pattern in the non-time-short state (low probability non-time-short state) and in the time-short state (low probability time-short state, high probability time-short state) The normal symbol variation pattern table to be used when selecting the normal symbol variation pattern is selected according to the game state, and the normal symbol variation pattern is selected based on the selected normal symbol variation pattern table, so that it is easily changed. be able to.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, an area where a game ball can flow is provided on the upper side of the center accessory 2400 from the center in the left-right direction to the left side, but the right side from the center follows the outer periphery of the game area 605. An arc-shaped area extending downward is provided, and when a game ball enters this area, the game ball is sent to the lower side of the center accessory 2400 without obtaining an opportunity to enter the gate 2302 or the warp entrance 2405. As a result, the chances are reduced and the movement of the game ball becomes less enjoyable. Accordingly, the player plays the game by adjusting the amount of rotation of the operation handle portion 461 as appropriate so that the game ball flows down from the center in the left-right direction on the upper side of the center accessory 2400. It is possible to prevent the game from being reduced by reducing the game operation such that the player is strongly driven and entertaining the game by operating the operation handle portion 461 of the pachinko machine 1.

  By the way, in this example, when the passing of the game ball is detected by the gate sensor 2304 while the normal symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display 645 while the normal symbol is variably displayed, the normal symbol being changed is stopped and generated / extracted first. Until the result of the normal random number is determined, the normal random number (including the normal symbol variation pattern) extracted based on the detection signal from the gate sensor 2304 is temporarily stored and the display is suspended. The number of stored ordinary random numbers (also referred to as the number of holdings) is displayed on a normal symbol storage display 646. This normal symbol memory display 646 is composed of four LEDs, and suggests the number of memories according to the number of each LED to be lit. In this example, up to four are stored and displayed. ing. When the number of memories exceeds 4, the ordinary random number extracted based on the detection signal of the gate sensor 2304 is discarded.

  In addition, the game balls that have been driven into the game area 605 and have flowed down the left side of the center accessory 2400 are moved toward the center of the game area 605 below the center accessory 2400 by the shelf 2102 of the side decoration member 2100. It has become. When a game ball wins a general winning opening 2104 arranged below the center accessory 2400 and is detected by the general winning opening sensor 3081, the main control board 4100 pays out a payout control board 1186 based on the detection signal. The payout control board 1186 controls the payout motor 815 of the prize ball unit 800 in accordance with the payout command, and a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are stored in the storage tray 311. To be paid out.

  If a game ball that has been driven into the game area 605 does not win any of the general prize opening 2104, the first start opening 2101, the second start opening 2102, and the big prize opening 2103, the game area 605 It is provided at the center lower end in the left-right direction and is discharged from the out port 606 to the lower rear side of the game board 4. In addition, regardless of whether the game ball wins the general winning port 2104, the first starting port 2101, the second starting port 2102, or the big winning port 2103, the winning game ball is returned to the gaming area 605. The game board 4 is discharged to the lower rear side.

  On the other hand, when the game ball flowing down the left side of the center accessory 2400 enters the warp inlet 2405 that opens to the left side surface of the center accessory 2400, the game ball is supplied to the first stage 2411 on the rear side of the stage 2410 of the center accessory 2400. It has come to be. The game ball supplied onto the first stage 2411 rolls on the first stage 2411 in the left-right direction, is released forward, and is supplied onto the second stage 2412. Also in the second stage 2412, the game ball rolls in the left-right direction and is released into the game area 605 above the attacker unit 2100. When a game ball is released from the center of the second stage 2412 in the stage 2410 into the game area 605, the first start port 2101 is received with a high probability. When a game ball is received by the first start port 2101 and detected by the first start port sensor 3080, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls from the prize ball unit 800 via the main control board 4100 or the like. Is paid out to the storage tray 311.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the first start port 2101, the second start port 2102, and the big prize opening 2103 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction, so that the game balls released from the stage 2410 are It has a high probability to be received at the first start port 2101 and the like, and when the second start port 2102 and the big prize opening 2103 can be received, there is a high possibility that the game ball will be received when it is released from the stage 2410. Therefore, not only the first start port 2101 but also the second start port 2102 and the big prize opening 2103 can be expected to have an expectation regarding the acceptance of the game balls, thereby enhancing the interest.

  By the way, when the game ball passes through the gate 2302 of the gate member 2300 and is detected by the gate sensor 2304 and “normal hit” is drawn as the normal lottery result, as described above, a pair of closing the second start port 2102 is closed. When the movable piece 2105 is expanded for a predetermined time to be able to win a prize, and when the prize can be won, when the game ball is received by the second start port 2102 and detected by the second start port sensor 2127, the main control board A predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out from the prize ball unit 800 to the storage tray 311 via 4100 or the like.

  In the main control board 4100, when a game ball wins the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102 and is detected by the first start port sensor 3080 and the second start port sensor 2127, the first start port The mouth 2101 generates and extracts predetermined first special random numbers and first symbol random numbers, and the second start port 2102 generates and extracts predetermined second special random numbers and second symbol random numbers. Then, based on the extracted special random number and symbol random number, after the variable symbol display of the special symbol displayed on the corresponding first special symbol display 641 or second special symbol display 642 of the function display unit 1400 is started. The special symbols corresponding to the extracted special random numbers and symbol random numbers are stopped and displayed as special lottery results. In the first special symbol display 641 and the second special symbol display 642, when the special symbol is stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting “big hit”, the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 is opened and closed in a predetermined pattern. When a big hit game state occurs, the game ball is awarded to the big prize opening 2103 during that time, so that more game balls can be obtained. When one game ball wins the grand prize winning opening 2103, a predetermined number (for example, 13) of game balls are paid out from the prize ball unit 800 to the storage tray 311.

  Note that, in the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102 as well, the first special symbol display 641 and the second special symbol display 642 are displayed in the same manner as the normal symbol variation display due to the passage of the game ball to the gate 2302. When the special symbol is variably displayed or when the special symbol such as the big hit gaming state cannot be variably displayed, the game ball is awarded to the start ports 2101 and 2102 and the first start port sensor 3080 and the second start port sensor When detected at 2127, the first special random number and the first special random number extracted based on the detection signals from the first start port sensor 3080 and the second start port sensor 2127 until the special symbol variation display becomes possible. The design random number, the second special random number and the second design random number are stored and the display thereof is suspended. The stored special random number and the number of the design random numbers are stored in the first special design memory.示器 643 and adapted to display at the second special symbol memory indicator 644.

  Each of the first special symbol memory display 643 and the second special symbol memory display 644 is composed of two LEDs, and suggests the number of memories depending on the combination of the light emission state of each LED that is turned off / on / flashing. In this example, up to four each are memorized and displayed. When the number of memories exceeds four, the extracted special random number and symbol random number are discarded. Further, the second special random number and the second symbol random number are executed (digested) with priority over the first special random number and the first symbol random number. That is, the lottery result hold related to the second start port 2102 is executed (digested) with priority over the lottery result hold related to the first start port 2101.

  Further, in the main control board 4100, the first special random number extracted based on the detection by the first start port sensor 3080 and the second start port sensor 2127 and the special random number of the second special random number are determined in advance as a hit determination table. By collating, it is determined whether the special random number is “lost”, “small hit”, or “big hit”, and based on the detection of the first start port sensor 3080 and the second start port sensor 2127. The “big hit” is either “2R big hit” or “15R big hit” by comparing the first design random number or the second design random number extracted with the symbol determination table determined in advance. Heel, "perpendicular per short time (high probability non-short per time)" "perpendicular per change (per high short time)", "short per time (low probability short per)", "non-probability non-short per short (low probability per short)" Any of If, so that also is determined.

  Then, the first special random number and the second special random number extracted (lottery) triggered by the start winning of the game balls to the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102 (the special lottery result) is “small hit”. In this case, the main control board 4100 opens and closes an opening / closing pattern that closes the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 in an open state for a predetermined short period of time (for example, between 0.2 seconds to 0.6 seconds) (for example, 2 times), a small hit gaming state that allows a game ball to be awarded to the big winning opening 2103 is generated.

  On the other hand, when the extracted first special random number or second special random number is “big hit”, the main control board 4100 opens the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 and then opens a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds). ) Or an opening / closing pattern that closes the opening / closing member 2106 when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls satisfy the winning prize opening 2103 when any of the winning conditions is satisfied. Is repeated a predetermined number of times (a predetermined number of rounds), 2 rounds for “2R big hit”, 15 rounds for “15R big hit”, respectively, and a big hit game advantageous to the player. A state is generated. In addition, after the end of the predetermined number of rounds, “high probability short-time per hit” is a high-probability per-hour determination table in which the probability of determining a big hit is improved over the low-probability time-per-hour determination table that is compared with a special random number at a low probability. It is supposed to be exchanged for.

  By the way, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the first special random number, the first symbol random number, the second special random number, and the first special random number that are extracted in response to the starting winning of the game ball to the first starting port 2101 and the second starting port 2102 In addition to the first special symbol display 641 and the second special symbol display 642 of the function display unit 1400 variably displayed according to the second symbol random number (according to the special lottery result), the liquid crystal display device 1400 also The effect image corresponding to the special random number and the design random number (special lottery result) is displayed. Specifically, in the liquid crystal display device 1400, each decoration is displayed in a state in which a plurality of decorative symbol rows composed of a plurality of different symbols are displayed (for example, three left, middle, and right decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c). The variable display of the symbol sequence is started, and then stopped sequentially (in this example, the display is stopped in the order of the left decorative symbol 1400a → the right decorative symbol 1400c → the middle decorative symbol 1400b), and finally all the decorative symbol sequences are displayed. Is stopped, the special random number extracted by the combination of the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c displayed in a stopped state and the determination result of the symbol random number are suggested to the player. That is, the first special symbol and the second special symbol at the time of change stoppage (the first special symbol stop symbol and the second special symbol stop symbol) and the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c correspond to the stop symbol, and start winning prizes. In accordance with the special lottery result, the effect image that is stopped and displayed so as to suggest the special lottery result after a plurality of decorative symbol sequences are variably displayed is displayed. Specifically, when the first special symbol and the second special symbol are in a mode indicating that the variation stop mode is a big hit, the stop symbols indicating that the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c are also a big hit. (Big hit symbol: In this example, if 15R big hit, left, middle and right decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c are all displayed in the same pattern, stop display with 15R big hit symbol, and if 2R big hit, left, middle, The right decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c are stopped and displayed with a combination of 2R jackpot symbols including two or more predetermined symbols). Since the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 are larger and easier to see than the special symbols of the first and second special symbol indicators 641 and 642, generally, a player generally uses the liquid crystal display device 1400. The decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c displayed on the screen will be noted.

  As one of the effect images in which the plurality of decorative symbol sequences are variably displayed, the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c (left in the present example) which are stopped and displayed while leaving one variable decorative symbol sequence (in this example, the middle decorative symbol 1400b). The “reach effect image” displayed so that the combination of the decorative design 1400a and the right decorative design 1400c) satisfies a specific condition (reach; the left decorative design 1400a and the right decorative design 1400c are stopped and displayed in the same design). The special lottery results on which the “reach effect image” is displayed include “per reach” and “reach lose”. There is also a “reach development effect image” that is displayed so as to be connected to the “reach effect image”, and that highlights and displays the remaining decorative symbol sequence that is variably displayed after the reach display. The liquid crystal display device 1400 can display not only an effect display related to the start winning prize but also a “hit game effect image” displayed during the “hit” game.

  Note that the special symbol variation display on the first special symbol display 641 and the second special symbol display 642 is directly controlled by the main control board 4100 (see FIG. 193). The variation display of the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c on the liquid crystal display device 1400 is controlled by the peripheral control board 4140 and the liquid crystal control board 4150 based on a command related to the lottery result transmitted from the main control board 4100 to the peripheral control board 4140. It has become so. As a result, the variation display of the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c on the liquid crystal display device 1400 that is particularly noticed by the player is controlled by the peripheral control board 4140 or the like, so that the lottery result transmitted from the main control board 4100 is displayed. For a certain command, a plurality of decorative patterns 1400a to 1400c can be prepared in advance to increase the number of decorative patterns 1400a to 1400c in the liquid crystal display device 1400. Also, the “hit game effect image” displayed during the “hit” game is controlled by the peripheral control board 4140 and the like, and effect images of various patterns are prepared in advance. Thereby, the display pattern of the effect image displayed without increasing the calculation processing load on the main control board 4100 can be increased, and the pachinko machine 1 that makes the player more entertaining and less likely to get bored can be obtained. It has become.

  Further, in the peripheral control board 4140, in addition to the control of the effect image, the right logo movable decorative body 3230 of each movable upper movable decorative body unit 3200 provided in the back unit 3000 based on the command related to the lottery result, the left Logo movable decorative body 3235, star unit 3240, star-shaped rotating decorative body 3245, decorative body main body 3414 of side movable decorative body unit 3400, lower movable decorative body unit 3600, rear lifting base 3630 and front lifting base 3632 (front right wing The decorative member 3640 and the front left wing decorative member 3642), the rear right wing decorative member 3664, the rear left wing decorative member 3666, etc. are operated as appropriate, and the decorative boards 2114, 2129, 2206, 2430, 2432, etc. provided in the game board 4 2434, 3024, 3025, 3035, 3036, 3043, 3233 The LEDs mounted on 3238, 3247, 3249, 3418, 3420, 3638, 3664, 3646, 3668, and 3670 are made to emit light appropriately, so that the player can be entertained by moving effects and light effects. ing.

In addition, the RAM clear switch 624a outputs a clear signal to the main control board 4100 in response to an operation before a predetermined period (for example, 1 second) has passed since the power is turned on, and the main control MPU 4100a receives the clear signal when the power is turned on. If it is determined that there is, initialization processing (step S1) is executed to initialize various registers and data stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a.

  Although not shown, in this example, when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, a backup process for storing information (for example, various flags) indicating the progress of the game in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is executed. If the RAM clear switch 624a is not operated when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the information stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is referred to by the backup process without executing the initialization process (step S1). Then, a restoration process for restoring the state according to the information is executed. Further, when the RAM clear switch 624a is operated when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the initialization process is executed without executing the recovery process, and the pachinko machine 1 is set to the initial state.

  Next, as a process in step S2, a random number that is a number to be updated within a predetermined numerical range is updated. That is, in the main control board 4100 according to this embodiment, special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) used for the lottery process for the display mode when the variable symbol display is stopped, and the special symbols. Reach effect is executed as a game effect executed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 in response to a variable random number used for a lottery process for a predetermined time (variation time) required for the variable display control of the game, and the special symbol variable display. Reach random number (reach random number) to be used for lottery processing of whether or not, a design random number (first to be used for lottery processing to determine the type of jackpot if it is determined to be a big hit based on the special random number Randomness that holds random numbers such as symbol random numbers, second symbol random numbers), random numbers used in lottery processing (ordinary random numbers), etc., for the winning of the operation of the movable piece 2105 It is equipped with a counter.

  In this example, a common reach random number is used for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, that is, even when the first starting port 2101 is won for starting, the second starting port 2102 is won for starting. Even if it is configured, the reach random number is acquired from the same counter that updates the reach random number, but the reach ratio of the reach effect is obtained by acquiring from the counter in which the random number range for updating the reach random number is different. The reach determination value to be compared with the acquired reach random number may be set as the reach determination table corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol as the reach determination table. By providing a second reach determination table in which a reach determination value different from the one reach determination table is provided, the execution ratio of reach production is made different. Good.

  In the process of step S2, the counter operation of the random number counter is performed in such a manner that only the random numbers (variable random numbers) not related to the winning of these random numbers are updated. Note that after the processes of steps S1 and S2 are performed in this way, only the process of step S2 is basically repeated. However, in this embodiment, the following timer interrupt control is performed every 4 ms, for example.

  FIG. 194 (b) is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for timer interrupt control periodically performed by the main control MPU 4100 a of the main control board 4100.

  As shown in FIG. 194 (b), in this interrupt control, a register saving process is first performed as the process of step S11. Next, in step S12, detection signals from various switches such as the gate sensor 2304, the first start port sensor 3080, the second start port sensor 2127, the count sensor 2128, and the general winning port sensor 3081 are input. Is done. Next, as a process in step S13, a random number update process for updating the value of the random number counter that generates the random number is performed. In the process of step S13, among the above-described random numbers, the random numbers (special random numbers, symbol random numbers, ordinary random numbers) related to the display mode when the special symbol and the normal symbol variable display are stopped are updated. Counter operation of the random number counter is performed.

  Then, after the random number is updated in this way, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 includes, as the process of step S14, a special symbol process process including a lottery process related to the display mode when the variable symbol variable display is stopped. Execute. This special symbol process will be described later, but here, basically, a special symbol process flag (first special symbol process flag, first flag indicating the progress of the game stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a). The corresponding processing is selectively executed based on the two special symbol process flags).

  Next, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 executes a normal symbol process process including a lottery process related to a winning win as an operation trigger of the movable piece 2105 as the process of step S15. Even in this normal symbol process, basically, the corresponding processing is selectively executed according to the normal symbol process flag indicating the progress of the game. The main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 is configured to execute the lottery process so that the movable piece 2105 is driven more frequently during a predetermined period after the end of the big hit gaming state ( Short time control). In this embodiment, the time required for the normal symbol variation display control is shortened by a predetermined period after the end of the big hit gaming state, and the opening time of the movable piece 2105 is extended to shorten the time control. Is to be realized.

  When the special symbol process (step S14) and the normal symbol process (step S15) are performed, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 then performs the special symbol process as step S16. Then, a process of transmitting a command set in a predetermined area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a to the peripheral board 4010 or the like is performed. Next, as a process of step S17, a process of transmitting a command set in a predetermined area of the RAM in the normal symbol process process to the peripheral board 4010 or the like is performed.

  The main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 performs information output processing for outputting data such as hit information (15R big hit, 2R big hit) supplied to the hall management computer, for example, as the processing of step S18. .

  Next, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 detects the first start port sensor 3080, the second start port sensor 2127, the count sensor 2128, the general winning port sensor 3081 and the like as the process of step S19. When the signals are in the ON state, a payout control command is output to the payout control board 1186 so that a prize ball corresponding to the signals is paid out to the player. As a result, the payout control MPU 4110a mounted on the payout control board 1186 outputs a drive signal from the payout motor drive circuit 4110d to the payout motor 815, and pays out a prize ball to the player.

  Further, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 executes a storage process for checking increase / decrease in the number of suspensions as the process of step S20. Next, as a process of step S21, a test terminal process that is a process of outputting a test signal for enabling the control state of the pachinko machine 1 to be confirmed outside the gaming machine is executed. After that, the drive control of the actuator that operates constantly is performed (step S22), the contents of the register are restored (step S23), and the control is finished when the interrupt permission state is set (step S24). It becomes.

  With the above control, in this embodiment, the game control process is started every 4 ms. In this embodiment, the game control process is executed by an interrupt process by a timer. However, in the interrupt process, for example, only a flag indicating that an interrupt has occurred may be set. However, in this case, the game control process is executed in the main process.

  FIG. 195 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the special symbol process (step S14).

  Now, assuming that the random numbers used for various lottery processes have been updated (step S13), as shown in FIG. 195, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 is first controlled by the first start port sensor 3080. On condition that the detection signal is in the on state (the ball enters the first start port 2101) (step S31), the first special random number of the first special symbol is acquired from the random number counter and is obtained from the RAM number. A first start port passing process such as storing in one special symbol holding storage area is executed (step S32). On the condition that the detection signal from the second start port sensor 2127 is in an ON state (the ball enters the second start port 2102) (step S33), the second special random number of the second special symbol is set to the random number. A second start port passage process is performed such as obtaining from the counter and storing it in the second special symbol holding storage area of the RAM (step S34).

  Next, it is determined whether or not a big hit running flag indicating that the game is controlled to the big hit gaming state is set, and whether or not a small hit running flag is set indicating that the game is controlled to the small hit gaming state. If it is determined (step S35) and the big hit execution flag is set, a hit control process (step S39) for controlling the big hit gaming state and the small hit gaming state is executed. Note that when the hit control process related to 15R high probability short-time hit, 2R high probability short-time hit and 2R high probability non-short-time hit is finished, a probability variation flag is set, 15R high probability short-time hit, 15R low probability short-time hit, and 2R The time reduction flag is set when the hit control process related to high probability short-lived is ended, and when the hit control process related to 15R high-probability short-time hit and 2R high-probability short-time hit is ended, the counter value of a time reduction counter described later is set to “0”. ”Is set, and when the hit control process related to the 15R low probability time-shortening is terminated, the initial value“ 100 ”is set as the counter value of the time-shortening counter. As a result, the control for improving the winning probability of the jackpot is executed after the jackpot gaming state related to the 15R high probability short-time hit, the 2R high-probability short-time hit, and the 2R high-probability non-short-time hit is finished. After the jackpot gaming state related to the high probability short-lived, the time-shortening control is executed until the big hit is reached again, and after the jackpot gaming state related to the 15R low-probability short-lived time is finished, the time display is shortened until the special symbol variation display is executed 100 times. Control is executed.

  On the other hand, if the big hit execution flag is not set, the value of the second special reserved number counter indicating the number of second special random numbers stored in the second special symbol reserved storage area is “0”. (Step S36), the first special symbol process including the lottery processing relating to the display mode when the variable display of the first special symbol is stopped is executed (Step S37), and the second special symbol is stored in the second special symbol storage area. On the condition that the value of the second special reserved number counter indicating the number of special random numbers is not “0” (step S36), the second special symbol including the lottery process relating to the display mode when the variable special symbol display is stopped Process processing is executed (step S38). Thus, in this example, when the value of the second special reserved number counter is not “0”, the variable display of the second special symbol is preferentially executed.

  FIG. 196 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first start port passage process (step S32).

  If it is determined in the process of step S31 that the first start port sensor 3080 is in an on state and a game ball has entered the first start port 2101, as shown in FIG. The main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first acquires a counter value from the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a as a process of step S41 by a first special reservation number counter that counts the number of reservations of the first special symbol. Then, based on this counter value, it is determined whether or not the above-mentioned number of reserved special symbols is the maximum value “4”.

  In the process of step S41, if it is determined that the first reserved number is not the maximum value, the following steps S42 to S44 are performed to newly put the variable display control of the first special symbol on hold. Will be processed. That is, first, as the processing of step S42, the first special reservation number counter is counted up. At this time, a total special hold number counter that counts the sum of the first hold number and the second hold number is counted up. The main control MPU 4100a can grasp the total of the first hold number and the second hold number by referring to the counter value of the total special hold number counter. Next, as the processing of step S43, the first special random number and the first symbol random number are acquired from the random number counter. Then, as the processing of step S44, each random number thus obtained is used as the first special symbol reserved storage area corresponding to the counter value by the first special reserved number counter in the RAM storage area of the main control MPU 4100a. To store.

  However, in the process of step S41, if it is determined that the first number of reservations is the maximum value, the variable display control of the first special symbol is not newly reserved. That is, by ending the process without executing the processes of steps S42 to S44, the first special symbol variation display control is not newly put on hold.

  Next, if the time reduction flag indicating that the time reduction control is being executed is not set (step S45), the main control MPU 4100a determines whether or not it will be a big hit based on the first special random number acquired in step S43. When it is determined that the jackpot is determined to be a jackpot, the type of jackpot is determined based on the first symbol random number, while if the jackpot is not a jackpot, it is determined whether to reach based on the reach random number A pre-determination process is executed (step S46), and the process ends. On the other hand, if the time reduction flag is set, the first hold number designation command indicating the first hold number (the value of the first special hold number counter) is set, and the process is terminated (step S47). Accordingly, whether or not the big win is started before starting the variable display based on the start winning generated by winning the game ball to the first starting port 2101, the type of the big hit, and whether or not the reach is reached Can be determined. In this example, the effect pre-determination process for the first special symbol is executed on the condition that the time reduction control is not executed.

  FIG. 197 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the second start port passage process (step S34).

  If it is determined in the process of step S33 that the second start port sensor 2127 is in an ON state and a game ball has entered the second start port 2102, as shown in FIG. The main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first acquires the counter value by the second special hold number counter from the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a as the process of step S51. Then, based on this counter value, it is determined whether or not the above-mentioned number of reserved second special symbols is the maximum value “4”.

  In the process of step S51, when it is determined that the second reserved number is not the maximum value, the following steps S52 to S54 are performed to newly put the variable display control of the second special symbol on hold. Will be processed. That is, first, as the processing of step S52, the second special reservation number counter is counted up and the combined special reservation number counter is counted up. Next, as the processing of step S53, the second special random number and the second symbol random number are acquired from the random number counter. Then, as the processing of step S54, the second special symbol reserved storage area corresponding to the counter value by the second special reserved number counter in the RAM storage area of the main control MPU 4100a is used as the processing in step S54. To store.

  However, if it is determined in the process of step S51 that the second reserved number is the maximum value, the variable display control of the second special symbol is not newly reserved. That is, this processing is ended when it is determined that the second number of reserved symbols is the maximum value without newly setting the variable display control of the second special symbol.

  Next, if the time reduction flag indicating that the time reduction control is being executed is set (step S55), the main control MPU 4100a determines whether or not a big hit is made based on the second special random number acquired in step S53. When it is determined that the jackpot is determined to be a jackpot, the type of jackpot is determined based on the second symbol random number, while if the jackpot is not hit, the effect is determined whether to reach based on the reach random number A pre-determination process is executed (step S56), and the process ends. On the other hand, if the time reduction flag is not set, the second hold number designation command corresponding to the second hold number (the value of the second special hold number counter) is set, and the process is terminated (step S57). Accordingly, whether or not the big win is started before starting the variable display based on the start winning generated by the game ball winning at the second starting port 2102, the type of the big hit, and whether or not the reach is reached Can be determined. In this example, the effect pre-determination process for the second special symbol is executed on condition that the time reduction control is being executed.

  FIG. 198 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the effect preliminary determination process (steps S46 and S56). Note that the effect predetermination process executed in step S46 of the first start port passage process and the effect predetermination process executed in step S56 of the second start port pass process are common program modules, and the random number used for the determination is Since only the difference is made, only the effect predetermination process relating to the first special symbol executed in step S46 of the first start port passing process will be described here. Note that the step of the first start port passing process is performed by differentiating the lottery probability as to whether or not to win the jackpot based on the first special random number and the lottery probability as to whether or not to win the jackpot based on the second special random number. The table referred to in the effect preliminary determination process executed in S46 may be different from the table referred to in the effect preliminary determination process executed in step S56 of the second start port passage process.

  When the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 starts the production predetermination process, the predetermination table shown in FIG. 199 and the acquired random numbers, specifically, the first special random number, the first symbol random number, and the reach random number are displayed. By comparing, it is specified whether or not a big hit is made, if the big hit is made, the type of the big hit, and if the big hit is not made, whether the reach effect is executed as the game effect executed in the liquid crystal display device 1400 is specified (step) S61). Note that the prior determination table in FIG. 199 indicates the ratio of each determination value.

  In addition, when the probability variation flag indicating that the control in the high probability state is executed is set, it is determined whether or not the big hit is made by comparing the high probability big hit judgment value with the first special random number. If the probability variation flag is not set, it is determined whether or not a big hit is made by comparing the low probability jackpot determination value with the first special random number. The high probability jackpot determination value is set to the same value as the jackpot determination value set in the high probability table of the hit determination table and compared with the special random number. The random number value is the same as the jackpot determination value set in the determination table when the probability is low and compared with the special random number. Therefore, by comparing the first special random number with the high-probability prior determination table or the low-probability preliminary determination table in step S61, it is possible to accurately specify whether or not a big hit has occurred.

  In this example, the same random number as the jackpot determination value in the prior determination table and the jackpot determination value in the hit determination table is used, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the jackpot determination value of the prior determination table includes only a part of the jackpot determination value of the hit determination table, or a part or all of the jackpot determination value of the hit determination table is different from the jackpot determination value of the hit determination table. It may be configured to include a random number of numbers, and the degree of possibility of being a big hit in the effect pre-determination process may be determined.

  Specifically, the jackpot determination value that can be determined as a high-probability random number group and a part of the determination value that is different from the jackpot determination value and the jackpot determination value can be determined as the high-probability random number group. The ratio of the loss judgment value is a high probability random number determining means that is set higher than the ratio of the winning judgment table that determines the winning probability of the jackpot, and a special of the random numbers acquired by the random number acquiring means For the jackpot determination in which random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) are classified and classified as either the above-mentioned determination value or the jackpot determination value, the same determination is performed while maintaining this unexecuted state. By determining whether or not the special random number provided for the above is a value belonging to the high probability random number group in which the jackpot determination value and the outlier determination value are mixed, And a pseudo-probability precedence determination unit that enables execution of an advance decision on the degree of expectation (pseudo-winning probability) related to winning a big hit for each determination process that is in the state of winning, The degree of expectation related to the above may be determined in advance.

  In this way, by including a high probability random number determining means in which the jackpot judgment value and the loss judgment value are mixed, there is a risk that confidential information about the winning result of the jackpot judgment that is still on hold can be leaked While maintaining the conventional production structure that eliminates the above, the expectation degree (pseudo-winning probability) related to the jackpot winning according to the mixture ratio of the jackpot judgment value and outlier judgment value in the means with high probability random number determination The preceding determination can be executed. For example, prior to the execution of the jackpot determination (digestion of the determination process), the prior determination that the special random number used for the jackpot determination is a value belonging to the high probability random number group (special hit determination value) was not made. When the decision process based on the random number value (a value belonging to the low-probability random number group that is paired with the high-probability random number group) that is not the pre-determined special hit determination value is expected, It is determined that the degree (pseudo-winning probability) is lower than the expectation degree (winning probability) of the jackpot (pseudo-winning probability).

  According to the preceding determination method for such a high-probability random number group, when the specific determination process is put on hold, the jackpot determination is maintained in an unexecuted state (pending state). In addition, the expected degree (pseudo-winning probability) can be notified in advance, for example, at a predetermined timing such as a new output of the hold display or a shift display corresponding to the hold display. Will come to be.

  Then, as a result of the comparison between the pre-determination table and the acquired random number, the specified pre-determination information (whether or not it is a big hit, the type of big hit if it is a big hit, executed by the liquid crystal display device 1400 if it is not a big hit) A pre-determining command (first pre-determination command corresponding to the first special symbol, second) indicating whether or not a reach effect is executed as a game effect to be performed, and the number of special symbols depending on the start winning prize) A second preliminary determination command) according to the special symbol is set (step S62). As a result, the start opening (one of the first start opening 2101 and the second start opening 2102) where the start winning is generated, the number of holdings stored corresponding to the start opening, and the start winning based on the generated start winning Whether or not the display result of the variable symbol display of one special symbol is a big hit, whether the big win is the type of the big hit, and if the big hit is not, whether the reach effect is executed as a game effect executed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 The peripheral control MPU 4140a mounted on the peripheral board 4010 can grasp the pre-determination information such as before the variable display corresponding to the start winning is started.

  FIG. 200 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol process (step S37).

  In the first special symbol process, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 selectively executes one of the following five process processes in accordance with the first special symbol process flag.

  1. The first special random number, the first symbol random number, and the like stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 are read, and whether or not the read first special random number matches a predetermined big hit determination value and the small hit determination. As a result of the display of the fluctuation of the first special symbol based on whether or not it matches the value, the first special in which lottery processing (hit determination processing) or not is performed as to whether or not to win or not. Symbol normal processing (step S80)

  2. When a lottery result indicating that the jackpot is based on the first special random number is obtained, the type of jackpot based on the first symbol random number (per 15R high probability short / short, 2R high probability short / short, 2R low probability short / short ) And the process for determining the stop symbol of the first special symbol according to the type of jackpot, and when the lottery result indicating that the jackpot is not won based on the first special random number is obtained, the reach random number is set to a predetermined value. A first special symbol stop symbol setting process in which a process for determining whether or not a reach effect is executed based on whether or not a reach determination value is met and a stop symbol of the first special symbol at the time of losing is performed ( Step S81)

  3. A variation pattern of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 641 based on the variable random number and the reach random number, and a decorative symbol executed in the liquid crystal display device 1400 corresponding to the first special symbol. A first variation pattern setting process for performing a lottery process on the variation mode of 1400a to 1400c and transmitting a first variation pattern command indicating the variation mode of the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c to the peripheral control board 4140 (step S82).

  4). First special symbol variation process that waits until the first special symbol variation display on the first special symbol display 641 is stopped (step S83).

  5. The first special symbol is determined based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the variable control of the first special symbol is stopped and the result of the determination process for the type of jackpot. First special symbol stop process for stopping the change display of the first special symbol so as to be displayed on the symbol display 641 (step S84).

  The first special symbol process flag is operated to indicate that the first special symbol normal process (step S80) should be performed in the process of step S1 (see FIG. 194).

  FIG. 201 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol normal process (step S80).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol normal process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 201, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first performs step S101. As a process of (1), it is determined whether or not there is a change display control of the first special symbol that is in a hold state (holding change display control of the first special symbol) based on the counter value by the first special hold number counter. . As a result, if it is determined that there is a hold variation display control of the first special symbol, then as a process of step S102, the first special symbol hold storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is stored. A random number stored in the earliest storage area among random numbers (for example, a first special random number, a reach random number, and a first symbol random number) related to the display mode of one special symbol is read from the RAM. Then, as the processing of steps S103 and S104, the first special reserved number counter is counted down, and the first special symbol reserved storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is stored in each storage area. Random numbers (first special random number, reach random number, and first symbol random number) related to the display mode when the variable symbol display is stopped are shifted in a first-in first-out (First-In First-Out) mode.

  Specifically, the first special symbol reservation storage area has four storage areas 1 to 4 and stores the random numbers extracted in response to the occurrence of the start winning prize in order from the first (first) area. Then, if a starting prize occurs when random numbers are stored in the nth (n = 1 to 3) storage area, the extracted random numbers are stored in the n + 1th (n = 1 to 3) storage area. When the variable display start condition based on the random number stored in the storage area is satisfied, various random numbers stored in the first storage area are read out and stored in the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage area. Various random numbers are moved to the (N−1) th (N = 2 to 4) th storage area. As a result, the order in which the hold variation display control of the first special symbol is generated (start winning prize generation order) is stored in an identifiable manner, and the variable display control is performed in order from the earliest hold (hold generated first). The hold is released.

  After that, as a process of step S105, a hit determination process which is a lottery process for the big win is performed based on the read first special random number of the first special symbol. Thereafter, when the above-described first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first special symbol stop symbol setting processing (step S81) (step S106), the processing is terminated.

  FIG. 202 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the hit determination process (step S105).

  If the current gaming state is a high probability state (high probability short time state, high probability non-short time state) (step S111), the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 has a high probability state shown in FIG. A hit determination table is selected (step S112). If the current gaming state is a low probability state (step S111), a low probability hit determination table shown in FIG. 203 (A) is selected (step S113). The hit determination table is compared with the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process (step S114).

  The hit determination table shown in FIG. 203 (A) is stored in the ROM of the main control MPU 4100a and is a low probability hit determination table used when the gaming state is low probability (normal state and low probability short time state). , A high-probability hit determination table used when the gaming state is high-probability (high-probability non-time-short state, high-probability time-short state). In the hit determination table at the low probability, the five types of special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) coincide with the jackpot determination value indicating that the big hit is won, and seven types of special random numbers (first (The special random number, the second special random number) match the small hit determination value indicating that the small hit is won, and the special random number is matched with the loss determination value indicating that the 1537 types of random numbers are out of place. Each is associated.

  Also, in the hit determination table at high probability, the same special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) as the special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) set in the low probability hit determination table ) Including 50 types of special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) match the big hit judgment value, and special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) set in the hit judgment table at the time of low probability ) And 7 types of special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) that are the same special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) match the small hit determination value, and 1492 types of random numbers are The special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) are associated with each other so as to coincide with the loss determination value. Thus, in this embodiment, in the high probability state (high probability short-time state, high probability non-time-short state), the jackpot determination value indicating that the big hit is won is 10 in the low probability (normal state and short-time state). Doubled. On the other hand, even if the small hit determination value is controlled to a high probability state, the number of small hit determination values that are set does not change, and the small hit determination is always performed with a certain probability. .

  When the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 compares the selected hit determination table with the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process and determines that it is a big hit (step S115a ), The big hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is won in the big win is set and the process is ended (step S115b). If it is determined that the small win is obtained (step S116a), the fluctuation is won in the big win. When the small hit flag indicating that it is set is set to end the process (step S116b) and it is determined that the hit is lost, the result of comparison between the reach determination table (not shown) and the reach random number read in step S102 ( In step S117), when it is determined that the reach is out of step (step S118), the fluctuation is Sets a reach flag indicating that the over switch by the process ends (step S119). Note that, in the reach determination table, similarly to the above-described pre-determination table, the reach determination value indicating that the 9 types of reach random numbers are reached matches the reach determination value indicating that the 230 types of reach random numbers are not reached. Thus, the reach random numbers are associated with each other.

  FIG. 204 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S81).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop symbol setting process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 204, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 The result of the lottery process of the display mode when the variable display of the first special symbol is stopped, that is, the result of the hit determination process (step S105) is determined. The lottery processing result is determined by determining whether or not the big hit flag is set (step S121).

  If the big hit flag is set, main control MPU 4100a compares the first symbol random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process with the symbol determination table shown in FIG. 203 (B) (step S122). ), The type of jackpot is determined, and the mode (first special symbol stop symbol) at the time of variable control stop of the first special symbol corresponding to the determined jackpot type is determined (step S123).

  As shown in FIG. 203 (B), the symbol determination table includes symbol random numbers (first per 2R high probability non-short time, 2R high probability short time, 15R low probability short time, 15R high probability short time). 1 design random number, 2nd design random number) are stored in an associated manner. In this example, in the symbol determination table to be compared with the first symbol random number, 10 types of the first symbol random numbers coincide with 2R high probability non-short-time and 12 types of first symbol random numbers match with 2R high probability short-time. In addition, the first symbol random numbers are associated with each other so that 39 types of first symbol random numbers coincide with 15R low probability short time per hour, and 39 types of first symbol random numbers coincide with 15R high probability per short interval. In addition, in the symbol determination table to be compared with the second symbol random number, six types of second symbol random numbers coincide with 2R high-probability short time, and 55 types of second symbol random numbers coincide with 15R low-probability short-time. The second symbol random numbers are associated with each other so that the second symbol random number of the type coincides with the 15R high probability time-shortening, and the second symbol random number is not associated with the 2R high-probability non-shortening time. In addition, the second special random number is set so that the ratio of 15R big hit (especially per 15R low probability short time) is higher than the one special random number, and the ratio of 2R big hit is set low. Yes. Thereby, when the start winning to the second starting port 2102 that is likely to occur when the time-shortening control is being executed, the number of starting winnings to the first starting port 2101 is larger than that when the starting winning is generated. A jackpot (15R jackpot in this example) that can win a prize ball is generated. Then, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 determines the jackpot type by specifying the determination result associated with the acquired symbol random number.

In particular,
1. Control to 15R jackpot gaming state, and control to the high probability short-time state until the big hit again after the 15R jackpot gaming state ends. 2. Control to 15R jackpot gaming state and control to the 15R jackpot gaming state. After the state ends, the low probability short-time state is controlled until the low probability short-time state is controlled until a predetermined number of times (100 times) of the special symbol (first special symbol and second special symbol) is displayed. 15R low-probability short-time control to 3 state) Control to 2R big-hit gaming state, and control to the high-probability short-time state until the big-hit short-time state again after the 2R big-hit gaming state ends. It is controlled to the gaming state, and after the 2R jackpot gaming state is finished, it is controlled to the high probability non-time-short state until it becomes a big jackpot again. It is determined to be one of the jackpot.

  In addition, in the liquid crystal display device 1400 after the end of the big hit gaming state, it is determined that the possibility of being in the high probability state is the highest or the possibility mode is high probability state, and the possibility of being in the high probability state is high. A plurality of presentation modes, such as a possible presentation mode, a presentation mode in which it is possible to determine that there is a high probability of being in a low probability state, a presentation mode in which it is most likely that it is in a low probability state, or that it is possible to determine that it is in a low probability state You may make it control in any one of production modes. Thereby, even if it is a case where it is not controlled to a high probability state, expectation to a high probability state can be held and the improvement of an operation rate can be aimed at.

  Further, in this example, as the short time state after the end of the big hit gaming state, the winning probability of the normal symbol, the time required for the variable symbol variable display control, the opening time of the movable piece 2105, etc. are controlled to the short time state which is controlled in the same manner. However, the control content in the short-time state may be varied depending on the type of jackpot. For example, when 15R high probability short-time hit and 2R high probability short-time hit are controlled to the first short-time state where the fluctuation time of the normal symbol executed after the end of the big hit gaming state is 0.3 seconds, 15R low In the case of short-term chance, the normal symbol change time executed after the end of the big-hit gaming state is controlled to a short-time state that is 1 second longer than the first short-time state. You may make it control to the 1st short time state and the 2nd short time state which is disadvantageous to a player rather than a 1st short time state.

  Moreover, the mode at the time of special symbol fluctuation stop corresponds to the type of jackpot. Specifically, when it is determined per 15R high-probability short / short time, the first special symbol is determined to be a 15R high-probability short / short-time pattern as a mode when the fluctuation is stopped, and when it is determined per 15R low-probability short / short time. When the special symbol fluctuation stop mode is determined to be the 15R low probability short-term symbol, and when the 2R high probability short-term symbol is determined, the 2R high probability short-term symbol is determined to be the 2R high probability short-term symbol. If it is determined per 2R high probability non-short-time-short, the 2R high probability non-time-short symbol is determined as the mode when the first special symbol is suspended (step S123).

  Further, if the small hit flag is set (step S124), the main control MPU 4100a determines the small hit symbol as the mode when the first special symbol variation is stopped (step S125). On the other hand, if the big hit flag is not set in step S121, the first special symbol is determined to be an off symbol as a mode when the fluctuation of the first special symbol is stopped (step S127).

  After the stop symbol determination process is performed in this manner, the lottery result (a type of jackpot, reach miss or miss) is sent to the peripheral board 4010 as the process of step S128. Set the judgment result notification command according to each. After that, when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first variation pattern setting process (step S82) as the process of step S129, this process is terminated. The peripheral control MPU 4140a is based on the received determination result notification command and variation pattern command (a first variation pattern command for instructing a variation pattern of the first special symbol, a second variation pattern command for instructing a variation pattern of the second special symbol). The liquid crystal display device 1400 is controlled to display.

  FIG. 205 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first variation pattern setting process (step S82).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first variation pattern setting process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 205, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 displays a big hit flag or a small hit flag. If the hit flag is set (step S141), a plurality of types of variation pattern tables (a table selected in the case of 2R high probability short-time hit, a table selected in the case of 2R high probability non-short time, 15R high probability short-time) In step S123 of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process among the table selected in the case of winning, the table selected in the case of 15R low probability short-term winning, the table selected in the case of small hitting The table corresponding to the determined big hit type or small hit type) is selected (step S142), and the reach flag is set. (Step S143), the variation pattern table at the time of reach is selected and the reach flag is reset (Step S144). If neither the big hit flag nor the reach flag is set, that is, the normal off (reach effect). In the case of “missing not executed”, a variation pattern table at the time of missing is selected (step S145).

  Then, the variable random number is acquired from the random number counter that updates the variable random number, and the variable pattern to be executed is determined by comparing the acquired variable random number with the selected variable pattern table (step S146). The first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 641 is set by setting a first variation pattern command for notifying the peripheral board 4010 that the variation display of the first special symbol corresponding to the determined variation pattern is started. Is displayed (step S147). When the first variation pattern command is set in step S147, a state notification command for notifying a gaming state (low probability non-short state (normal state), low probability short state, high probability non-short state, high probability short state) It is set, and the game state is notified to the peripheral control MPU 4140a every time the special symbol variation display is started. The peripheral control MPU 4140a displays a background corresponding to the gaming state on the liquid crystal display device 1400 in accordance with the received state notification command. Further, when determining the variation pattern, main control MPU 4100a sets the variation time set corresponding to the determined variation pattern in the variation timer (step S148). As a result, effect control is performed in the first special symbol display 641 and the liquid crystal display device 1400 for the variation time thus determined.

  Although not shown, a plurality of types of variation pattern tables are provided corresponding to determination results based on special random numbers (first special random numbers, second special random numbers) and design random numbers (first design random numbers, second design random numbers). Yes. The variation patterns set in each variation pattern table include a plurality of variation time information indicating predetermined times (variation times) required for variation display control of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol). Each variable random number is stored in association with each other. Thus, the main control MPU 4100a selects the variation pattern table corresponding to the determination result based on the special random number and the design random number, and then compares the selected table with the obtained variation random number, and is associated with the variation random number. By obtaining the variation time information from this table, the variation pattern of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is determined. As a result, the lottery process for the variation pattern of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is performed. The variation pattern table is stored in the ROM of the main control MPU 4100a.

  In this example, after the end of the big hit gaming state and after the end of the small hit gaming state, the liquid crystal display device 1400 has different display modes (background color, background mode, decorative patterns 1400a to 1400c, etc.) of different types of performance modes. Control to one of the production modes. There are multiple types of performance modes depending on the gaming state (high probability short-time state, high probability non-short-time state, low probability short-time state, low probability non-short-time state (normal state)) and the type of jackpot. The production effect is improved by controlling the production mode corresponding to the end of the big hit gaming state. Specifically, it is executed when the production mode is controlled to the high probability short-time state after the end of 15R high-probability short-time and the high probability short-time state after the end of 2R high-probability short-time, and is controlled to the high-probability state. This is executed when the control is performed in the high probability determination mode in which it is possible to discriminate between the low probability short-time state after the end of the 15R low-probability short time and the high probability short-time state after the end of the 15R high-probability short-time. It is executed in the indeterminate short time mode in which it is difficult to determine that the state is controlled, the high probability non-short state after the end of the 2R high probability non-short state, and the high probability state after the end of the small hit gaming state. It has a non-determined non-short-time mode in which it is difficult to distinguish, and a normal mode that is executed when controlling to a low-probability non-time-short state (normal state) and can be determined to control to a low-probability state Yes. In the peripheral control ROM 4140b of the peripheral control board 4140, commands (specifically, change pattern commands (first change pattern command, second change pattern command) transmitted from the main control board 4100 and instructing display contents of the liquid crystal display device 1400 are displayed. )), A plurality of control programs are provided for each of the effect modes. When the peripheral control MPU 4140a receives a command (variation pattern command) for instructing the display contents of the liquid crystal display device 1400 from the main control board 4100, the peripheral control MPU 4140a has received the control program of a plurality of types corresponding to the current effect mode. By controlling the display of the liquid crystal display device 1400 according to the control program corresponding to the command, the display content of the liquid crystal display device 1400 according to the rendering mode is controlled.

  In this example, the variable random number is acquired at the start of the variation of the special symbol. However, the timing of acquisition is not limited as long as it is before the start of the variation. For example, you may make it acquire a variable random number at the time of start winning. In addition, after the big hit gaming state is finished, it is controlled to a predetermined gaming state (for example, if the 15R high probability short-time hit is controlled, the high probability short-time state is controlled after the big hit gaming state ends) After the game state ends, the previous game state is continuously executed. In other words, the small hit gaming state is different from the big hit gaming state in that it merely gives an opportunity for a winning ball and does not give an advantageous state.

  When the variable display control of the first special symbol is started, as the processing of step S149, the counter value of the time reduction counter for setting the number of fluctuations for executing the time reduction control (the number of executions of the variable display) is “ It is determined whether or not “0”. If the counter value is not “0”, after the time-short counter is counted down (step S150), it is further determined whether or not the counter value of the simultaneous short-count counter is “0” (step S151). . As a result, if the counter value is “0”, a time reduction end flag indicating that the time reduction control is ended is set (step S152).

  If it is determined in the process of step S149 that the counter value of the time reduction counter is “0”, or if it is determined in step S151 that the time reduction counter is not “0”, then Then, the process proceeds to step S153. Then, when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first special symbol variation processing (step S83) (step S153), the processing is terminated.

  FIG. 206 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol variation process (step S83).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol variation process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 206, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first performs step S171. As the process, 1 is subtracted from the variation timer in which the variation time corresponding to the variation pattern determined in the lottery process (step S82) for the variation pattern is set. If it is determined that the variation time timer is 0, that is, the lottery variation time has elapsed (step S172), the process proceeds to step S173. That is, in the process of step S173, when the above-described first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first special symbol stop process (step S84), this process is terminated.

  FIG. 207 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol stop process (step S84).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop process is to be performed, as shown in FIG. 207, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first executes step S181. As the process, the display control for causing the first special symbol display 641 to display the stop symbol determined in the first special symbol stop symbol setting process is performed, and the liquid crystal display device 1400 has the first special symbol. A stop display command for instructing the derivation display of the display results of the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c corresponding to the stop symbols is set as a command to the peripheral board 4010 (step S182).

  Next, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 resets the time reduction flag (step S184) and resets the time reduction flag (step S185) when the time reduction completion flag is set (step S183). As a result, the time-shortening control is terminated and the control in the low probability non-time-shortening state (normal state) is started.

  Further, when the big hit flag is set (step S186), the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 sets a big hit start command indicating that the big hit gaming state is started (step S187). Waiting time until the start of the state (a time for displaying a message indicating that the big hit gaming state is started and a time when displaying whether it is difficult to determine whether the 2R big hit or the small hit is made) is set in the interval timer (step S188). . Then, a big hit execution flag indicating that the big hit gaming state is being executed is set, and if the short time flag is set, the short time flag is reset, and if the probability change flag is set, the probability change flag is set. When reset (step S189) and updated so that the first special symbol process flag is shifted to the first special symbol normal process which is the initial value (step S194), this process is terminated. The jackpot start command is a command transmitted to the peripheral board 4010, depending on the type of jackpot (per 15R high probability short / short, 15R low probability short / short, 2R high probability short / short, 2R high probability short / short). It is prepared individually. In step S187, the jackpot start command (15R high probability short-time hit command, 15R high probability short-time hit, 15R high probability short-time hit, 2R high probability short-time hit, 2R high-probability short-time hit, 2R high-probability short-time hit per command) Start command for probability short time, 2R high probability short time start command, 2R high probability non-short time start command). Thereby, the effect of the big hit gaming state according to the type of the big hit instructed by the big hit start command is executed by the liquid crystal display device 1400, the LED and the speakers 121, 391, and the like.

  Further, when the small hit flag is set (step S190), the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 sets a small hit start command indicating that the small hit gaming state is started (step S191). Then, a standby time until the start of the small hit gaming state (a time during which it is difficult to determine whether 2R big hit or small hit is displayed) is set in the interval timer (step S192). Then, a small hitting execution flag indicating that the small hitting gaming state is being executed is set (step S193), and the first special symbol process flag is shifted to the first special symbol normal process which is the initial value. When updated to (step S194), this process is terminated.

  Next, processing executed by the peripheral control MPU 4140a mounted on the peripheral board 4010 will be described. FIG. 208 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for control performed by the peripheral control MPU 4140a mounted on the peripheral board 4010 when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on.

  As shown in FIG. 208, when power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the peripheral control MPU 4140a performs an initial setting process (step S501). In the initial setting process, a process of clearing the RAM of the peripheral control MPU 4140a mounted on the peripheral board 4010 is performed. Note that interrupts are prohibited during this initial setting process, and interrupts are permitted after the initial setting process. When the initial setting process (step S501) ends, a loop process for monitoring whether or not the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set is started (step S502).

  In this embodiment, the peripheral control MPU 4140a generates an interrupt every 2 ms and executes a 2 ms steady process. In the 2 ms steady process, a process of counting up the 16 ms progress monitoring counter (adding 1 to the 16 ms progress monitoring counter) is executed, and when the value of the 16 ms progress monitoring counter reaches 8, that is, 16 ms elapses. While the flag T is set, a 16 ms progress monitoring counter is reset (set to 0). In this way, the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set (set) to “1” every 16 ms in the 2 ms steady process, and is normally set (reset) to “0”. If the 16 ms elapsed flag is set in step S502 (the 16 ms elapsed flag T is “1”), the 16 ms elapsed flag is reset (step S503), and then the 16 ms steady process is performed (step S504).

  In the 16 ms steady process, a process for controlling the liquid crystal display device 1400, LEDs 453a, 2114a, 2129a, 2206a, 2430a, 3025a, 3035a, 3043a, speakers 121, 391, and the like is executed based on a command received from the main control board 4100. The When the 16 ms steady process ends, the process returns to step S502 again, and the above-described steps S503 to S504 are repeated every time the 16 ms elapse flag T is set, that is, every 16 ms. On the other hand, if the 16 ms elapsed flag T is not set in step S502 (the 16 ms elapsed flag T is “0”), the loop processing is performed until the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set.

  FIG. 209 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a 16 ms steady process executed every 16 ms in the sub main process. In the 16 ms steady process, the peripheral control MPU 4140a executes the processes in steps S601 to S606. In the command analysis process in step S601, the command received from the main control board 4100 is analyzed. In the effect control processing in step S602, the liquid crystal display device 1400 is related to the fact that the command (first variation pattern command, second variation pattern command) instructing execution of variation display transmitted from the main control board 4100 is received. Control processing and control processing for driving the movable decorative body unit (upper movable decorative body unit 3200, side movable decorative body unit 3400, and lower movable decorative body unit 3600) are executed.

  Further, in the sound control process in step S603, a control process related to the speakers 121 and 391 is executed. In the lamp control process in step S604, a control process related to the LEDs provided in the pachinko machine 1 is executed. In the information output process of step S605, a process of transmitting an LED lighting signal to the lamp driving board 1460 (the first lamp driving board 3801 and the second lamp driving board 3802) is executed. In the random number update process of step S606, a process of updating random numbers used for various settings in the effect control process (step S602) is executed.

  In addition, the process of step S601-step S606 in a 16ms regular process is complete | finished within 16 ms. Even if it takes 16 ms or more from the start of the 16 ms steady process to the end of the 16 ms steady process, the 16 ms steady process is immediately executed from the beginning when the 16 ms has elapsed since the start of the 16 ms steady process (command of step S601). Do not execute (from analysis process). That is, when 16 ms elapses during execution of the 16 ms steady process, only the 16 ms elapse flag is set, and when it is determined in step S502 that the 16 ms elapse flag is set after the end of the 16 ms steady process, the 16 ms steady process is performed. To start.

  In this embodiment, the random number update process (step S606) is executed in the 16 ms steady process to update various random numbers. However, the timing (timing) for updating the various random numbers is limited to this. It is not something that can be done. For example, various random numbers may be updated in one or both of the loop process in the sub-main process and the 16 ms steady process.

  FIG. 210 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the prior determination command reception process executed in the command analysis process (step S601). The peripheral control MPU 4140a executes a predetermination command reception process based on the reception of the predetermination command (first predetermination command, second predetermination command) in the command analysis process.

  When the peripheral control MPU 4140a starts the preliminary determination command determination process, the peripheral control MPU 4140a determines whether or not the received preliminary determination command indicates the first pending number (whether or not the first preliminary determination command has been received) (step S1). S601a) If it indicates the number of first hold (if it is the first pre-determination command), 1 is added to the first hold counter for counting the first hold number (step S601b), the RAM of the peripheral control MPU 4140a The pre-determination information notified by the received pre-determination command (first pre-determination command) is stored in the first reservation area corresponding to the first hold counter value in the storage area (step S601c). In this example, the maximum value of the first hold counter is set to 4, and a plurality of first hold areas D corresponding to the first hold counter value “4” corresponding to the first hold counter value “1” are set. The first reserved area is provided. When the peripheral control MPU 4140a receives the first fluctuation pattern command indicating that the fluctuation display of the first special symbol is started in the command analysis process, the peripheral control MPU 4140a decrements the first hold counter by 1 and sets the first hold areas A to Shift the stored contents of one reserved area D (erase the stored contents of the first reserved area A and move the stored contents of the first reserved areas B, C, D to the first reserved areas A, B, C, respectively) To do. As a result, only the preliminary determination information related to the variable display of the first special symbol being held is stored in the first reservation area A to the first reservation area D.

  If the received advance determination command indicates the second hold number (if it is the second advance determination command), 1 is added to the second hold counter for counting the second hold number (step S601d) The preliminary determination information notified by the received preliminary determination command (second preliminary determination command) is stored in the second reserved area corresponding to the second reserved counter value in the storage area of the RAM of the control MPU 4140a (step S601e). In this example, the maximum value of the second hold counter is 4, and the plurality of second hold areas D corresponding to the second hold counter value A to the second hold counter value “4” corresponding to the second hold counter value “1”. The second reserved area is provided. When the peripheral control MPU 4140a receives the second variation pattern command indicating that the variation display of the second special symbol is started in the command analysis process, the peripheral control MPU 4140a decrements the second reservation counter by 1 and sets the second reservation areas A to Shift the stored contents of the second reserved area D (delete the stored contents of the second reserved area A and move the stored contents of the second reserved areas B, C, D to the second reserved areas A, B, C, respectively) To do. Thereby, in the 2nd reservation area A-the 2nd reservation area D, only the advance determination information regarding the fluctuation | variation display of the 2nd special symbol currently hold | maintained comes to be memorize | stored.

  The peripheral control MPU 4140a receives the above-described pre-determination command (first pre-determination command, second pre-determination command) and hold number designation command (first hold number designation command, second hold number designation command). In the liquid crystal display device 1400, the first hold display areas 1500a to 1500d as areas to display the first hold number and the second hold display areas 1600a to 1600d as areas to display the second hold number are assigned to the corresponding hold. By controlling to either the first hold mode indicating the state without the variable display control or the second hold mode indicating the state with the corresponding hold variable display control, the number of holds of the first special symbol and the second special mode are controlled. Display the number of symbols on hold. The second hold mode includes a plurality of types according to the degree of possibility of a big hit, and the peripheral control MPU 4140a receives the first hold display areas 1500a to 1500d and the first based on the reception of the prior determination command. When the corresponding one of the two hold display areas 1600a to 1600d is controlled to the second hold mode, the hold notice determination process (step S601f) is executed to correspond to the hold variation display control instructed by the prior determination command. It is determined whether or not to hold the display of the area in a manner corresponding to the degree of the possibility of jackpot. By controlling the display in the notice mode, the degree of possibility of a big hit is announced in advance (before the variable display of the hold variable display control is executed). . For example, based on the reception of the prior determination command indicating that the 15R jackpot is received from the main control MPU 4100a, the corresponding area is displayed in a predetermined notice mode in the second holding mode, and the jackpot is announced. To do. In addition, even when a pre-determination command indicating that it is not the 15R big hit is received, it is simulated that the corresponding area is displayed at a predetermined rate in the second reserved mode in the predetermined advance notice mode, and the big hit is simulated. (So-called gasses).

  In this example, a table used for determining whether or not the peripheral control MPU 4140a executes a hold notice is provided for each type of pre-determination information. Specifically, a table corresponding to each of the six types of pre-determination information of 15R high-probability short-time, 15R low-probability short-time, 2R high-probability short-time, 2R high-probability non-time-short, reach deviation, and normal deviation is provided. The peripheral control MPU 4140a, when executing the received hold notice determination process, selects a table corresponding to the type of the advance decision information, extracts a random number to be compared with the table, and determines whether to execute the hold notice. And when it is determined not to execute the hold notice, it is determined that the degree of possibility of jackpot is a normal second hold form that does not give notice among a plurality of types of second hold forms, and it is determined that the hold notice is executed. Is determined as one of a plurality of types of second hold modes and a different notice mode from the normal second hold mode. Accordingly, when it is determined that the advance notice is to be held, the corresponding areas of the first hold display areas 1500a to 1500d and the second hold display areas 1600a to 1600d are controlled to be displayed in a predetermined notice form in the second hold mode, and the jackpot The degree of possibility will be announced.

  It should be noted that the hold notice is provided separately from the table used for determining whether or not the hold notice is to be executed as a table used for determining the hold notice form (which of the plurality of types of second hold forms is displayed). May be determined separately from the determination of the hold notice, or whether the hold notice is executed using a table in which the determination values are distributed and set so as to correspond to each of a plurality of types of second hold forms. By determining whether or not to hold the hold notice, it may be determined at the same time as determining whether or not to execute the hold notice.

  FIG. 211 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the effect control process (step S602).

  In the effect control process, the peripheral control MPU 4140a selectively executes one of the following five process processes according to the effect process flag indicating the progress of the game stored in the peripheral control MPU 4140a of the peripheral control board 4140. Will be.

  1. Processing for controlling liquid crystal display device 1400, LED and speakers 121, 391, etc., based on commands (first variation pattern command, second variation pattern command) indicating the variation pattern of the special symbol analyzed in the command analysis processing. After performing the above, etc., a variation effect start process for changing the effect process flag to a value corresponding to the process during the variation effect (step S711).

  2. The elapsed time from the start of control of the liquid crystal display device 1400, LED and speakers 121, 391, etc. is measured, and processing for controlling the liquid crystal display device 1400, LED and speakers 121, 391, etc. according to the elapsed time is performed. In the process of changing effects, the effect process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the change end process in response to the elapse of the change time corresponding to the change pattern (step S712).

  3. A process for deriving and displaying a predetermined display result based on the reception of a symbol stop command for instructing to stop the special symbol variation display is performed. If it is a big hit, it is changed to a value corresponding to the big hit effect process, and if it is a small hit, a variable effect end process is changed to a value corresponding to the small hit effect process (step S713).

  4). Based on the reception of the jackpot start command for instructing the start of the jackpot gaming state, the liquid crystal display device 1400 performs processing for executing display control during the jackpot gaming state, and the effect process is performed when the jackpot gaming state is ended. Big hit effect process (step S714) for changing the flag to a value corresponding to the change effect start process

  5. When processing for executing display control in the small hit gaming state is performed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 based on the reception of the small hit start command instructing the start of the small hit gaming state, and the small hit gaming state is ended. The small hit effect process (step S715) for changing the effect process flag to a value corresponding to the change effect start process.

  By the above processing, the liquid crystal is synchronized with the variation display of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) executed by the special symbol display (first special symbol display 641, second special symbol display 642). The display device 1400 executes the variable display of the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c.

[8. Movable decoration production]
Next, a game effect realized by a plurality of decorative bodies (for example, the upper movable decorative body unit 3200, the side movable decorative body unit 3400, and the lower movable decorative body unit 3600) arranged on the rear side of the game board 4 will be described.

  As described above, the gaming board 4 of the present example is configured by the transparent gaming panel 600 and the back of the gaming panel 4 can be visually recognized, and a plurality of movable decorative bodies (upper parts in this example) are provided on the rear side of the transparent gaming panel 600. The movable decoration body unit 3200, the side movable decoration body unit 3400, and the lower movable decoration body unit 3600) are arranged, and the game area 605 is three-dimensionally decorated from the rear side of the game board 4 by its three-dimensional shape at each standby position. doing.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, in relation to the effect display executed by the liquid crystal display device 1400, the movable decoration body that is normally held at the standby position and decorates the game area 605 from the back side of the game board 4 is driven. By doing so, a movable decoration effect that gives the player an unexpectedness is executed. Specifically, in relation to the display of the reach effect image and the reach development effect image, or after the variable display of the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c is started, until any of the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c is stopped and displayed. In connection with the display of the notice effect image displayed during the period, the upper movable decorative body unit 3200 can be moved to be displayed forward of the liquid crystal display device 1400 (see FIGS. 188 and 189), or the movable decorative body 3400 can be displayed again. Can be moved to the front of the liquid crystal display device 1400 (see FIG. 190), or the lower movable decorative body unit 3600 can be moved to the front of the liquid crystal display device 1400 (see FIGS. 191 and 192). Perform decoration production. In addition, a plurality of types of reach effect images, reach development effect images, and notice effect images are prepared, and a movable decoration effect is selected from a plurality of types of variation patterns for executing the plurality of types of reach effect images, reach development effect images, and notice effect images. It is executed when the change pattern is determined.

  In the movable decorative body effect, a movable decorative body (upper movable decorative body unit 3200, side movable decorative body unit) which is arranged on the rear side of the game panel 600 and decorates the game area 605 in three dimensions from the rear side of the game board 4 at normal times. 3400 and the lower movable decorative body unit 3600) are moved to be displayed in front of the liquid crystal display device 1400, so that it is possible to give surprise to a player who has recognized that these are merely decorations, Game entertainment is improved. Further, a movable decorative body (upper movable) having a plurality of functions of a function of three-dimensionally decorating the game area 605 from the rear side of the game board 4 in a normal state and a function of appearing in front of the liquid crystal display device 1400 when movable Since the decorative body unit 3200, the side movable decorative body unit 3400, and the lower movable decorative body unit 3600) are arranged, the number of parts can be reduced and the manufacturing cost of the gaming machine can be reduced. That is, by configuring the movable decorative body, the game board 4 and the like so as to have a decorative function not only when it is movable but also when it is not movable (agreement with the normal time), one decorative body arranged for each function is obtained. The number of parts can be reduced and the manufacturing cost of the gaming machine can be reduced. Further, by arranging the decorative bodies arranged for each function together, it is possible to realize an increase in size of the liquid crystal display device 1400 while arranging the movable decorative bodies.

  In the pachinko machine 1 as an example of the gaming machine, various winning devices are provided below the liquid crystal display device 1400, and it is necessary to secure a certain area for rolling the game ball (referred to as a rolling area). On the other hand, since no winning device is arranged above and to the left and right sides of the liquid crystal display device 1400, the rolling region may be narrower than the lower portion of the liquid crystal display device 1400. Therefore, even when the liquid crystal display device 1400 is enlarged, a rolling region below the liquid crystal display device 1400 is secured to some extent. In this example, the lower movable decorative body unit 3600 disposed below the liquid crystal display device 1400 is exposed in front of the liquid crystal display device 1400, so that the liquid crystal display device 1400 can be enlarged and coexist with the movable decorative body. As a matter of course, a large movable ornament can be used. Further, as described above, in this example, the lower movable decorative body is provided by arranging the rear right wing decorative member 3664 and the rear left wing decorative member 3666 behind the front right wing decorative member 3640 and the front left wing decorative member 3642 as the lower movable decorative body unit 3600. After the unit 3600 is raised (the state where the unit 3600 is raised from FIG. 183 (A) to FIG. 183 (B)), the rear right wing decoration member 3664 and the rear left wing decoration member 3666 are rotated to completely move the lower movable decoration body unit 3600. Since it is configured to be exposed (state of FIG. 183 (C)), it is possible to further increase the size of the movable decorative body. That is, in the case of simply switching between the movable position where the movable decorative body is completely exposed by raising and lowering the movable decorative body and the standby position where the movable decorative body waits, there is a space limitation at the standby position of the movable decorative body. A movable ornament exceeding the space at the position can not be arranged, but if the movable ornament and the standby position are switched through a plurality of stages as in this example, the movable ornament exceeding the space at the standby position of the movable ornament is allowed. Since the body can be arranged, the movable decorative body can be enlarged.

  Further, in this example, the movable decoration body is shown to change between the time when the movable decoration body is exposed in front of the liquid crystal display device 1400 and the normal time when waiting on the rear side of the game board 4. As an aspect, the game board 4 may have a function of moving in small increments on the rear side. Thus, in addition to being able to give unexpectedness when the movable decorative body is moved on the rear side of the game board 4, it can be assumed that the movable decorative body is simply moved in small increments on the rear side of the game board. In addition, when the movable decorative body is exposed in front of the liquid crystal display device 1400, a surprise can be given.

  Further, in this example, the back of the gaming board 4 is configured by a transparent gaming panel 600 so that the back of the gaming board 4 can be visually recognized, and a movable decorative body is disposed on the rear side of the gaming panel 600 so that the gaming board 4 is not movable (normally). Although the game area 605 is configured to be decorated from the rear side of the game board 4, any movable decorative body that is arranged on the rear side of the game board 4 when not movable (normal time) can be visually recognized. It is not limited to this. For example, the game board 4 is composed of an opaque game panel formed such that a part of the game board 4 is hollowed out so that the back of the game board 4 can be visually recognized, and a movable decorative body is disposed on the rear side of the game board 4 corresponding to the part. Thus, the game area 605 may be decorated from the rear side of the game board 4 even when it is not movable (normal time).

  Each of the movable decorative bodies in this example is provided with a plurality of LEDs (LEDs 3233a, 3238a, 3247a, 3249a provided in the upper movable decorative body unit 3200 shown in FIG. 177, and the side movable decorative body unit 3400 shown in FIG. 179. LEDs 3418a and 3420a provided, LEDs 3638a, 3644a, 3646a, 3668a, and 3670a provided in the lower movable decorative body unit 3600 shown in FIG. 184), and when the movable decorative body is not movable (normal time), these are at the respective standby positions. The game area 605 is light-decorated from the rear side of the game board 4 by controlling the light emission of the LED (see FIGS. 149 and 186). Further, when the movable decoration effect is executed and the movable decoration body is displayed in front of the liquid crystal display device 1400, the LED provided on the movable decoration body is controlled to emit light to emit light in a predetermined manner.

  As described above, in the movable decorative body effect, an LED (in the upper movable decorative body unit 3200 shown in FIG. 177, which is disposed on the rear side of the gaming panel 600 and light-decorates the game area 605 from the rear side of the gaming board 4 in a normal state. LED 3233a, 3238a, 3247a, 3249a, LED 3418a, 3420a provided in the side movable decorative body unit 3400 shown in FIG. 179, LED 3638a, 3644a, 3646a, 3668a, 3670a) provided in the lower movable decorative body unit 3600 shown in FIG. Since the liquid crystal display device 1400 is displayed in front of the liquid crystal and emits light in a predetermined manner, the amount of light in front of the liquid crystal display device 1400 can be increased to attract the player's attention. In addition, it has a plurality of functions, that is, a function to light decorate the game area 605 from the rear side of the game board 4 in a normal state and a function to emit light in a predetermined manner by being displayed in front of the liquid crystal display device 1400 when movable. A plurality of LEDs (LEDs 3233a, 3238a, 3247a, 3249a provided in the upper movable decorative body unit 3200 shown in FIG. 177, LEDs 3418a, 3420a provided in the side movable decorative body unit 3400 shown in FIG. 179, and the lower movable decorative body shown in FIG. 184 Since the LEDs 3638a, 3644a, 3646a, 3668a, and 3670a) provided in the unit 3600 are arranged, the number of LEDs can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the gaming machine can be reduced. In other words, by arranging the LEDs so as to have a decoration function not only when it is movable but also when it is not movable (consent with the normal time) or configuring the game board 4, the LEDs arranged for each function can be changed. They can be arranged together, and the number of installations and the manufacturing cost of gaming machines can be reduced.

  In this example, the gaming board 4 is formed of a transparent gaming panel 600, and a plurality of LEDs are arranged on the rear side of the gaming panel 600, so that the gaming panel 4 is placed on the rear side of the gaming panel 600 even when it is not movable (normal time). The light emitted from the arranged LED is transmitted so that it can be seen from the front of the gaming machine so that the gaming area 605 is light-decorated from the rear side of the gaming board 4. However, even when it is not movable (normal time) The present invention is not limited to this as long as the gaming area 605 is light-decorated from the rear side of the game board 4 by a plurality of LEDs arranged on the rear side of the board 4. For example, the game board 4 is configured by an opaque game panel in which a predetermined number of through holes are formed, and light emitted from LEDs arranged on the rear side thereof is allowed to pass through the through holes so that the light can be viewed from the front of the gaming machine. Accordingly, the game area 605 may be light-decorated from the rear side of the game board 4 even when it is not movable (normal time).

  Further, the left and right unit bases 3602 (see FIG. 167) of the lower movable decorative body unit 3600 are arranged overlapping the back of the front front unit 3000a and the center accessory 2400, as is apparent from FIGS. 152 and 153. In a state of facing the game board 4, it is not visible from the player side. Further, the front right wing decoration board 3644 and the front left wing decoration board 3646 of the lower movable decoration body unit 3600 are opaque, and the front right wing decoration board 3644 and the front left wing decoration are viewed from the player side as shown in FIG. The rear side of the substrate 3646 (the position where the front right wing decoration member 3640 and the front left wing decoration member 3642 are arranged in the front elevating base 3632) is not visible.

  Further, a device for raising and lowering the wing decoration members 3640, 3642, 3664, and 3666 of the lower movable ornament body unit 3600 (specifically, a lower raising / lowering drive motor 3606, a first transmission gear 3610, a second transmission gear 3612, a pinion) In order to dispose the gear 3616, the lifting rack 3618, the unit base 3602, the lifting rail 3620, and the lower lifting detection sensor 3622) on both sides of the wing decoration members 3640 and 3642, the first start port 2101 and the second start port A space can be created in the back portion of 2102 and the back portion of the big prize opening 2103, and the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102 can be formed in the space without interfering with the lower movable decorative body unit 3600 as shown in FIG. The start passage for discharging the game balls won in is formed. An attacker drive mechanism base 2126 that supports a second starter sensor 2127 that detects a game ball that circulates in the starter passage, and a starter for opening and closing a pair of movable pieces 2105 that open and close the second starter 2102 Solenoid 2121, start port drive transmission member 2122 for transmitting the drive of start port solenoid 2121 to movable piece 2105, start port drive transmission member 2122, and start port drive mechanism attached to the rear side of base plate 2110 that support start port solenoid 2121. An attacker driving unit 2120 including a base 2123 and the like can be arranged.

[9-1. Fluctuation shortening control]
Next, the fluctuation shortening control executed when the number of reserved special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is equal to or greater than a predetermined number will be described. Conventionally, in the pachinko machine 1 as a gaming machine, when the number of reserved special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is a predetermined number or more, the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) Fluctuation display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) that has been suspended without executing the variable display start condition is executed by executing the fluctuation shortening control that displays the fluctuation by shortening the fluctuation time than usual. Special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) despite a game ball winning at the starting port (first starting port 2101, second starting port 2102) by shortening the time until all the controls are executed In addition, as much as possible to prevent the occurrence of useless start winnings in which no design random numbers (first design random number, second design random number) are acquired, and to prevent the occurrence of such useless starting winnings, By interrupting (so-called "stopping") And to suppress the operating rate decrease of tricks machine.

  The starting conditions for the above variable display are that there is a special symbol hold variable display control, that the big hit gaming state and the small hit gaming state have ended, and that the previous variable display has ended. It is established on the condition that all are satisfied, and the start condition of the variable display of the first special symbol is satisfied on the condition that there is no hold variable display control of the second special symbol in addition to these conditions. To establish.

  In the non-short-time state in which the time-shortening control is not executed, the value of the first special hold number counter is checked when the variation pattern table at the time of deviation is selected in step S145 of the first variation pattern setting process (step S82). If the number of reserved symbols for one special symbol is less than “3” (if the value of the first special reserved number counter is “0” to “2”), it will be executed at a normal fluctuation time (for example, 12 seconds). Select the table set to select the variation pattern, determine the variation pattern, check the value of the first special reservation number counter, and if the number of reservations of the first special symbol is “3” or more ( If the value of the first special hold number counter is “3” or “4”, the change pattern for the off-hold reduction is executed, which is executed with a hold reduction fluctuation time shorter than the normal fluctuation time (for example, 3.0 seconds). Set to be The table selected to determine the variation pattern. On the other hand, during the time saving state in which the above time reduction control is executed, the value of the first special reserved number counter is referred to when selecting the variation pattern table at the time of deviation in step S145 of the first variation pattern setting process (step S82). Instead, the variation pattern is determined by selecting a table set so that the variation pattern at the time of normal deviation executed in the normal variation time (for example, 12 seconds) is selected.

  As a result, in the non-time reduction state in which the time reduction control is not executed, when the variable display of the first special symbol is started, the variable display start condition is not yet established separately from the current variable display. First with a shortened hold variation time (for example, 3.0 seconds) that is shorter than a normal variation time (for example, 12 seconds) according to the number of stored special symbol variation display controls (the first special symbol hold variation display control). Fluctuation shortening control for variably displaying special symbols is executed. As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, if the number of reserved second special symbols is not “0”, the variable display of the second special symbol is executed with priority over the variable display of the first special symbol ( Step S36 to Step S38). Regarding the fluctuation display of the first special symbol, the fluctuation display is performed with a shorter fluctuation time (for example, 2.0 seconds) shorter than the normal fluctuation time (for example, 12 seconds) even in the shorter time state in which the shorter time control is executed. By displaying the variation in the normal variation time (for example, 12 seconds) instead, a sufficient period for generating the start winning of the game ball in the second start port 2102 is secured, and the game is directed to the second start port 2102 than usual. During the short time state in which the frequency of starting and winning the ball is increased, a game centered on the display of the variation of the second special symbol is executed.

  In addition, during the above-mentioned short time state in which the start winning of the game ball to the second start port 2102 increases from the normal time (in the non-short time state), the second variation pattern setting process of the second special symbol process (step S38) When selecting the fluctuation pattern table at the time of deviation, check the value of the second special reservation number counter and if the number of reservations of the second special symbol is less than “1” (the value of the second special reservation number counter is If it is “0”, a table set to select the normal deviation fluctuation pattern executed in the normal fluctuation time (for example, 12 seconds) is selected to determine the fluctuation pattern, and the second special reserved number Check the counter value and if the number of reserved second special symbols is “1” or more (if the value of the second special reserved number counter is “1” to “4”), the time is shorter than the normal fluctuation time. Executed with variable time (eg 2.0 seconds) That the time-shortening off time fluctuation pattern to perform the time-shortening control to select the set table to determine the variation pattern to be selectively.

  On the other hand, in the non-short-time state in which the start winning ratio to the second starting port 2102 is small compared to the starting winning to the first starting port 2101, the second variation pattern setting process of the second special symbol process (step S38) is not. When the time variation pattern table is selected, the value of the second special reserved number counter is confirmed, and if the number of reserved special symbols is less than “1” (the value of the second special reserved number counter is “0”). ”), Select a table that is set so that the normal deviation time fluctuation pattern executed in the normal fluctuation time (for example, 12 seconds) is selected, and confirm the value of the second special pending number counter. If the number of holdings of the two special symbols is “1” or more (if the value of the second special holding number counter is “1” to “4”), the above-mentioned holding shortened fluctuation time shorter than the normal fluctuation time (for example, 3. 0 seconds) The set table to shift during variation pattern is selected by selecting determine the variation pattern.

  As a result, during the time-short state in which the start winning at the second start port 2101 increases from the normal time (in the non-time-short state), the second special symbol that is executed this time is held separately. If there is special symbol fluctuation display control (second special symbol hold fluctuation display control) (if the value of the second special hold number counter is “1” or more), the time is shorter than the normal fluctuation time (for example, 12 seconds). The time-shortening control is executed by variably displaying the second special symbol in a variable time (for example, 2.0 seconds), and the start winning at the second starting port 2102 is less than the starting winning at the first starting port 2101. In the non-short-time state, if there is a second special symbol variable display control (second special symbol hold variable display control) that is held separately from the second special symbol variable display executed this time (second special hold) If the number counter value is “1” or more) Performing a dynamic time (e.g. 12 seconds) shorter hold shorter variation times than (e.g. 3.0 second) variation reduction control to change display of the second special symbol. In addition, regarding the variable display of the second special symbol, the second special symbol is displayed separately from the variable display of the second special symbol that is executed this time when starting the variable display of the second special symbol even during the time-shortening state. If there is no change display control of two special symbols (holding change display control of the second special symbol), it does not display changes in the above short time change time (eg, 2.0 seconds), and changes display in the normal change time (eg, 12 seconds). By doing this, when there is no change display of the second special symbol being held, a sufficient period for generating a start winning of the game ball to the second start opening 2102 is secured, and the second start opening than usual. During a short time state in which the frequency at which the game ball starts and wins to 2102 is increased, a game centering on the variable display of the second special symbol is executed.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, the fluctuation display of the first special symbol is performed in the normal fluctuation time (for example, 12 seconds) without executing the time reduction control even during the time reduction state in which the time reduction control is executed. Fluctuation of the first special symbol that is suspended separately from the variation display of the first special symbol that is executed this time when the variable display of the first special symbol is started in the non-time-short state where the time reduction control is not performed. Only when the display control (holding variation display control of the first special symbol) is “3” or more, the variation display is performed with the holding shortening variation time (for example, 3.0 seconds) shorter than the normal variation time (for example, 12 seconds). . In addition, the fluctuation display of the second special symbol is held separately from the fluctuation display of the first special symbol that is executed this time when starting the fluctuation display of the first special symbol during the short-time state in which the above-described time reduction control is executed. If there is fluctuation display control for the first special symbol (holding fluctuation display control for the first special symbol), the fluctuation display is performed with a short fluctuation time (for example, 2.0 seconds) shorter than the normal fluctuation time (for example, 12 seconds). If there is no variable display control of the first special symbol that is held separately from the variable display of the first special symbol to be executed this time (holding variable display control of the first special symbol) Fluctuation display is performed in the normal variation time (for example, 12 seconds) without variation display in the short-time variation time (for example, 2.0 seconds), and the variation display of the first special symbol is started during the non-short-time state in which the time-shortening control is not performed. If there is a variation display control of the first special symbol that is held separately from the variation display of the first special symbol that is executed this time (the retention variation display control of the first special symbol), the normal variation time (for example, 12) The fluctuation shortening control is executed by displaying the fluctuation with a shorter hold shortening fluctuation time (for example, 3.0 seconds) shorter than the second), while the first special symbol which is executed this time is held separately. If there is no special symbol fluctuation display control (first special symbol hold fluctuation display control), the fluctuation display is performed in the normal fluctuation time (for example, 12 seconds) without the fluctuation display in the short time fluctuation time (for example, 2.0 seconds). .

  In the example described above, the time-shortening control for displaying the fluctuation in the time-short variation time is not executed even in the time-shortening state with respect to the fluctuation display of the first special symbol, but it is not limited to this. Not only the second special symbol but also the variation display of the first special symbol may be variably displayed in the short time variation time. In addition, the second special symbol variable display control (second special symbol variable display control) is held separately from the second special symbol variable display executed this time even during the above-mentioned short-time state regarding the second special symbol variable display. If there is no hold fluctuation display control), the second special symbol is variably displayed with the normal variation time. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the second special symbol is always variably displayed with the above short variation time during the short-time state. You may make it do. During the time-short state, the ratio of the start winning to the second start port 2102 is higher than the start winning to the first start port 2101. Therefore, the second special symbol is variably displayed in the time-short state than in the non-time-short state. The frequency increases and the second special symbol is mainly displayed in a variable manner. In the non-time-saving state, the start winning rate to the first starting port 2101 is higher than the starting winning rate to the second starting port 2102. In the non-time-short state, the first special symbol is mainly displayed in a variable manner.

  In addition, after the end of the 15R low-probability short-time, the variable time display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) executed after the time-shortening control is started and the 15R low-probability short-time operation is ended a predetermined number of times. In the case of controlling to the time-short state (also referred to as the short-time state when the number of times is turned off) when the time-short control is reached, the second time increases during the time-short state when the time-short state is terminated and the non-time-short state is controlled. There is a high possibility that the number of reserved special symbols is “4”, which is the maximum value, or a state close to “4” due to the start winning at the start port 2102. In such a case, until the player executes all the variable display control of the second special symbol that is still held without satisfying the variable display start condition (second special symbol hold variable display control), There is a risk that the launching is interrupted (so-called “stopping”) and the operating rate of the gaming machine is lowered. These problems are caused by a variable reduction control of all the variable display control of the second special symbol (second special symbol hold variable display control) that is held when the time-short state (short-time short state) is terminated. While it is possible to solve this problem by shortening the period during which the player suspends the launch of the game ball as much as possible, if the second special symbol is always controlled to reduce fluctuations in a non-time-short state, the fluctuation display of the first special symbol is mainly displayed. Even if the display of the change of the second special symbol with a high degree of rarity that rarely causes a start winning to the second start port 2102 is executed in the non-time-short state that is executed, the hold shortening change time (for example, 3.0 seconds) The monotonous variation display that ends at the end of the game is finished immediately, and not only can the expectations for the variation display of the second special symbol be raised, but also there is a possibility that the interest in the game may be reduced.

  The pachinko machine 1 of the present example has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and when the variable display of the second special symbol is started in the non-time-short state, the start condition of the variable display is still separate from the current variable display. If there is a fluctuation display control of the second special symbol that is not established and is held (second special symbol hold fluctuation display control), the fluctuation reduction control is executed for the current fluctuation display, and the normal fluctuation time (for example, 12 seconds) By displaying the second special symbol in a variable manner with a shorter hold shortening fluctuation time (for example, 3.0 seconds), the variable special display control (first If a plurality of two special symbol hold variation display controls) are stored, it is possible to shorten the period until all these variation display controls (second special symbol hold variation display control) are executed. On the other hand, when the variable display of the second special symbol is started in the non-time-short state, the variable display control of the second special symbol that is held without satisfying the start condition of the variable display is not yet established separately from the current variable display ( If there is no second special symbol hold fluctuation display control), the variable display start condition is not yet satisfied by displaying the second special symbol in the normal fluctuation time (for example, 12 seconds) for the current fluctuation display. If a plurality of second special symbol variation display controls (second special symbol hold variation display control) are not stored, the second special symbol is displayed in the normal variation time (for example, 12 seconds) without executing the variation shortening control. Variable display is possible. Therefore, the second special symbol variable display control (second special symbol hold variable display control) that has been held without the variable display start condition still being satisfied when the short-time state (short-time short state) is terminated. Even in the case where a plurality of memories are stored, the period until the execution of all these fluctuation display controls (second special symbol hold fluctuation display control) is shortened to shorten the period during which the player interrupts the launch of the game ball. In addition to being able to perform, when a start winning to the second start port 2102 that rarely occurs during a non-time-short state occurs, the change display of the second special symbol is executed at the normal change time at least once. It can attract the player's interest and prevent the stoppage after the completion of the short-time state (short-time short state) to suppress the decline in the operating rate of the gaming machine, and the variable display of the second special symbol in the non-short-time state Against It is possible to prevent the deterioration of the gaming interest by inspire hope.

  Note that the conditions for executing the fluctuation shortening control (the number of first special symbols held and the number of second special symbols held) are not limited to those described above, and the first special symbols are also displayed in a variable state during the time-shortening state. The fluctuation reduction control may be performed on the second special symbol, or the fluctuation reduction control may be performed only on the fluctuation display of the second special symbol. In this case, a special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is variably displayed with a short time holding variation variation time (for example, 1 second) shorter than the above-mentioned variation time variation time (for example, 2.0 seconds). The fluctuation shortening control may be performed. In addition, the condition for executing the variation shortening control may be appropriately set according to the winning frequency of the game ball to the second start port 2102 in the non-time saving state in which the time reduction control is not executed. For example, when the variable display of the second special symbol is started in the non-time-short state, the variable display control of the second special symbol that is suspended without satisfying the variable display start condition separately from the current variable display ( If “2” or more is stored in the second special symbol hold variation display control), the variation display of the second special symbol to be executed this time is varied by displaying the variation with the above-described reduced hold variation time (for example, 3.0 seconds). Executes the shortening control and stores the variable display control of the second special symbol (second special symbol hold variable display control) that has been held without satisfying the variable display start condition yet separately from the current variable display. If the number is “0” or “1”, the variable display of the second special symbol executed this time may be displayed in a variable manner in the normal fluctuation time (for example, 12 seconds). As a result, even when “2” game balls have continuously won at the second starting port 2102 in a non-time-saving state in which the time-shortening control is not executed, the variation of the second special symbol based on both of the starting winnings. The display can be executed with a normal variation time (for example, 12 seconds) to attract the player's interest, and the decrease in the gaming interest can be suppressed by expecting the variation display of the second special symbol in the non-time-short state. it can.

[9-2. Variation 1 of Fluctuation Shortening Control]
In the above example, when the variable display of the second special symbol is started in the non-time-short state, the variable display of the second special symbol that has been put on hold without satisfying the variable display start condition is established separately from the current variable display The first special symbol is variably displayed with the hold shortening variation time (for example, 3.0 seconds) shortened from the normal variation time (for example, 12 seconds) according to the number of stored control (second special symbol hold variation display control). In the non-time-short state, the variation shortening control is executed. However, whether or not the variation shortening control is performed depending on whether the start winning to the second starting port 2102 is one-shot or continuous. You may make it differ.

  For example, when the second special symbol is variably displayed in a non-short-time state, the variable display control of the second special symbol (second Number of special symbols on hold variation display control) (number of second special symbols on hold), and number of second special symbols on hold when the start winning to the second start port 2102 that caused the variation display occurs Accordingly, whether or not the variation shortening control is performed for the variation display of the second special symbol executed this time may be made different.

  Specifically, when a game ball starts winning at the second start port 2102 (specifically, the second special random number and the second symbol random number are stored in the second special symbol hold memory in step S54 of the second start port passing process). The number of second special symbols held (when stored in the area) (the value of the second special reserved number counter) is stored in association with the second special random number and the second symbol random number extracted at the time of the start winning, and time reduction control is executed. The second start port that caused the current variation display when the variation display of the second special symbol is started in the non-short-time state (when the variation pattern table at the time of deviation is selected in the second variation pattern setting process) If the number of second special symbols stored in association with the second special random number and the second symbol random number extracted at the time of starting winning to 2102 (the value of the second special reservation number counter) is “2” or more, the above Normal variation time (example For example, the change pattern is determined by selecting a table that is set so that the change pattern at the time of hold shortening that is executed in the hold shortening fluctuation time (for example, 3.0 seconds) shorter than 12 seconds is selected. The number of second special symbols and the number of second special symbols stored in association with the second symbol random number extracted at the time of winning the start to the second starting port 2102 that caused the fluctuation display If the value) is “1”, a variation pattern is determined by selecting a table set so that a variation pattern at the time of normal deviation executed in a normal variation time (for example, 12 seconds) is selected.

  In other words, the variation display of the second special symbol that has already been put on hold without satisfying the start condition of the variation display at the time of the start winning to the second starting port 2102 that caused the variation display of the second special symbol executed this time. If the control (holding fluctuation display control of the second special symbol) is stored, the fluctuation that displays the second special symbol variably with a holding shortening fluctuation time (eg, 3.0 seconds) shorter than the normal fluctuation time (eg, 12 seconds) The second special symbol which has been suspended without executing the variable display start condition yet when the start winning to the second starting port 2102 causing the variation display of the second special symbol to be executed this time is executed. If no change display control (holding change display control of the second special symbol) is stored, the second special symbol is changed and displayed in the normal change time (for example, 12 seconds).

  As a result, in the non-time-short state, when the start winning to the second start port 2102 occurs, the change display control of the second special symbol that is still held without the change display start condition being satisfied (the hold variation display of the second special symbol) If the control) is stored, it is possible to shorten the period until all these fluctuation display controls (second special symbol hold fluctuation display control) are executed. On the other hand, in the non-time-short state, when the start winning to the second start port 2102 occurs, the change display control of the second special symbol that is still held without satisfying the start condition of the change display (the hold change display control of the second special symbol) ) Is not stored, the second special symbol can be variably displayed in the normal variation time (for example, 12 seconds) without executing the variation shortening control. Therefore, the second special symbol variable display control (second special symbol hold variable display control) that has been held without the variable display start condition still being satisfied when the short-time state (short-time short state) is terminated. Even in the case where a plurality of memories are stored, the period until the execution of all these fluctuation display controls (second special symbol hold fluctuation display control) is shortened to shorten the period during which the player interrupts the launch of the game ball. In addition, when a start winning to the second starting port 2102 that rarely occurs during a non-time-short state occurs once, the change display of the second special symbol based on the start winning is displayed in the normal variation time. In order to execute the game, the stoppage after the completion of the short-time state (short-time state when the number of times is cut off) is prevented to suppress the lowering of the operating rate of the gaming machine, and the game is expected with the expectation for the change display of the second special symbol in the non-short-time state. Declining interest It can be prevented.

  In addition, as long as it does not deviate from the above technical idea, it is limited to the above-described method for judging whether the start winning to the second start port 2102 is one-time or continuous in a non-time-saving state. Instead of this, for example, a flag may be set according to the second pending number, and whether or not the fluctuation reduction control is performed depends on whether or not the flag is set.

  Specifically, when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is turned on (for example, when executing the initialization process (step S1)), a normal fluctuation flag indicating that the fluctuation display is performed with the normal fluctuation time is set, and the second start port When the game ball starts winning a prize at 2102 and the second special symbol is displayed in a variable manner (when the variation pattern table is selected in the second variation pattern setting process), the normal variation flag and the second retained number are confirmed and the normal variation flag is confirmed. Is set and the second reserved number (the value of the second special reserved number counter) is “0”, the second special symbol is variably displayed in the normal variation time without the variation reduction control, and the normal variation flag is set. If the second special symbol is “1” or more, the second special symbol is variably displayed in the suspending shortening variation time and the variation shortening control is performed, and the variation display of the second special symbol is finished (second special symbol) First in the symbol stop process If the second reserved number is “0” when the two special symbols are stopped and displayed), the normal fluctuation flag is set (the normal fluctuation flag is maintained in the set state), while the second reserved number is “1” or more. If there is, the normal variation flag may be reset (the normal variation flag is maintained in the reset state).

  Thereby, when the start winning to the second starting port 2102 occurs, the second reserved number is displayed when the second special symbol change display is ended (when the second special symbol is stopped and displayed in the second special symbol stop process). When the variation display of the second special symbol in the non-short-time state is executed with the hold shortening variation time until the variation becomes “0”, the variation reduction control is performed, and the start winning to the second start port 2102 occurs continuously (the first All these variable display controls (when the second special symbol is stopped by the second special symbol stop process until a new start winning is generated at the second start port 2102) (the second special symbol hold variable display control) ) Can be shortened, but when the start winning to the second starting port 2102 occurs only once (until the second special symbol is stopped and displayed in the second special symbol stop process) 2nd start port 2102 A new start winning can inspire expectations to variable display of the second special symbol run on normal variation time variable display of the second special symbol without varying reduction control when not occur) of.

[9-3. Variation 2 of fluctuation shortening control]
In the above example, special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) are displayed in a variable manner with a variation time shorter than the normal variation time (holding variation variation time, time variation variation time) depending on the gaming state (with or without short-time control). The number of holds to be made (first hold number, second hold number) is configured to be different, but depending on the gaming state, a special symbol (with reduced change time, hold time change time) shorter than the normal change time ( You may make it vary the determination method of whether to display variably the 1st special symbol and the 2nd special symbol).

  For example, a special symbol (first special symbol, second variable time) with a fluctuation time shorter than the normal fluctuation time (holding reduction fluctuation time, short-time fluctuation time) based on the total number of suspensions obtained by adding the first suspension number and the second suspension number. The combined suspension determination means for determining whether or not to display the special symbol in a variable manner, and the first special symbol and the second special symbol are individually varied based on the number of suspensions. Set as a judgment means to use one of them in a short time state, and a single hold judgment means for judging whether or not the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is variably displayed in the fluctuation time and the short time fluctuation time). The other may be set as a determination unit used in a non-time-saving state, and the combined hold determination unit and the single hold determination unit may be switched according to the gaming state.

  Specifically, in the short-time state, when the variation pattern table at the time of deviation is selected in the variation pattern setting processing (first variation pattern setting processing, second variation pattern setting processing), 2) Check the value of the total special hold number counter added up with the value of the special hold number counter and if the total hold number is “6” or more (the value of the total special hold number counter is “6” to “8”) If there is a change pattern selected by selecting a table that is selected so as to select the fluctuation pattern at the time of execution shorter than the normal fluctuation time (for example, 12 seconds). If the total pending number is less than “6” (if the total special pending number counter value is “0” to “5”), it will be executed at the normal fluctuation time (for example, 12 seconds). Pattern is selected Select a table that is set up to determine the variation pattern.

  On the other hand, when the variation pattern table at the time of deviation is selected in the first variation pattern setting process in the non-short-time state, the value of the first special reservation number counter is checked and the first retention number is “3” or more ( When the value of the first special hold number counter is “3” or “4”, when the hold shortening is not performed, the hold shortening is executed with a hold shortening variation time (for example, 3.0 seconds) shorter than the normal variation time (for example, 12 seconds). The table set to select the variation pattern is selected to determine the variation pattern of the first special symbol. If the first reserved number is less than “3” (the value of the first special reserved number counter is “ (If it is 0 ”to“ 2 ”), the variation pattern of the first special symbol is determined by selecting the table set so that the variation pattern at the time of normal deviation executed in the normal variation time (for example, 12 seconds) is selected. In the second variation pattern setting process When the fluctuation pattern table at this time is selected, the value of the second special hold number counter is confirmed and if the second hold number is “1” or more (the value of the second special hold number counter is “1” to If “4”, a table set to select a fluctuation pattern at the time of hold shortening that is executed with a hold shortening fluctuation time (eg, 3.0 seconds) shorter than a normal fluctuation time (eg, 12 seconds) is selected. Select and determine the variation pattern of the second special symbol. If the second reserved number is less than “1” (if the value of the second special reserved number counter is “0”), the normal variation time (for example, 12 seconds) The variation pattern of the second special symbol is determined by selecting a table that is set so that the variation pattern at the time of abnormal deviation executed in step (1) is selected.

  As described above, in this example, since the variation display of the second special symbol is prioritized and performed over the variation display of the first special symbol, the start winning of the game ball to the second start port 2102 is normal (in the non-short-time state) ), The second special symbol will be displayed in a variable state during the time-shortening state, and the number of first reserves during the time-shortening state is likely to be the upper limit of “4”. . In other words, if the total number of holdings is “6” or more in the short time state, it is highly likely that the second holding number is “2” or more. For example, the second special random number and the second symbol random number are not acquired even though the game ball is won at the second starting port 2102 by displaying the variation with a short variation time (for example, 2.0 seconds) shorter than 12 seconds. Suppress the generation of useless start prizes as much as possible. On the other hand, if the total pending number is less than “6”, the second pending number is likely to be “1” or less. In this case, the first special symbol and the second special symbol are usually used. When the probability that a game ball starts and wins at the second starting port 2102 is increased by displaying the variation in the variation time (for example, 12 seconds), and the second number of holdings is temporarily reduced during the short time state. Even so, it is possible to mainly execute the variable display of the second special symbol by increasing the second reserved number.

  In addition, during the non-short-time state in which the percentage of game balls to be awarded to the second starting port 2102 is lower than the first starting port 2101, the first special symbol variation display is mainly executed, and the second rarely occurs. When a start winning at the start port 2102 occurs, the player can be attracted by executing the change display of the second special symbol at the normal change time at least once.

  In addition, the variable display control of the second special symbol (second special symbol hold variable display control) that has been held without the variable display start condition still being satisfied when the short time state (the short state at the time of turning off the number of times) is terminated. Even in the case where a plurality of memories are stored, the period until the execution of all these fluctuation display controls (second special symbol hold fluctuation display control) is shortened to shorten the period during which the player interrupts the launch of the game ball. In addition to being able to perform, when a start winning to the second start port 2102 that rarely occurs during a non-time-short state occurs, the change display of the second special symbol is executed at the normal change time at least once. It can attract the player's interest and prevent the stoppage after the completion of the short-time state (short-time short state) to suppress the decline in the operating rate of the gaming machine, and the variable display of the second special symbol in the non-short-time state Against By inspire wait it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the gaming interest.

  In the above example, the combined hold determination unit is set as the determination unit used in the time reduction state, and the single hold determination unit is set as the determination unit used in the non-time reduction state. A hold determination unit may be set, and a combined hold determination unit may be set as a determination unit used in a non-time-saving state.

[9-4. Variation 3 of fluctuation shortening control]
After the end of the 15R low-probability time-shortening, the time-shortening control is terminated when the variable symbolic display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is executed 100 times. In addition, when the time-shortening control is terminated, the first hold number and the second hold number are likely to be “4” which is the upper limit. In this example, the variable display of the second special symbol is executed with priority over the variable display of the first special symbol. In other words, the second special symbol is variably displayed from 1 to 4 times after the time-shortening control is finished, and if the game ball does not win a start at the second start port 2102 after the time-shortening control is finished, the number of times 5 From 1st to 8th, the first special symbol is variably displayed. Therefore, if the number of times that the special symbol special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is variably displayed in advance after the short-time control is finished is set in advance, the hold-variation display stored at the end of the short-time control The period during which the control is executed can be shortened, and stoppage after the completion of the time-saving control and a decrease in the operating rate of the gaming machine can be suppressed.

  For example, when ending the 15R low probability short-term hit, set “104” obtained by adding “4” which is the upper limit of the second reserved number to “100” of the short-time count to a counter separate from the above-mentioned short-time count counter Until the counter reaches “0”, when the fluctuation pattern table at the time of loss is selected, the fluctuation pattern at the time of short time deviation is selected according to the first holding number and / or the second holding number. The table is set to select one of the table set to select the above-mentioned normal deviation variation pattern, and then the variation display of special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is started. When the counter is decremented every time the counter is set to “0”, the above-mentioned fluctuation pattern at the time of the normal deviation according to the first holding number and / or the second holding number in the subsequent fluctuation display. It may be switched configured to select one of the tables that are configured to set the table and the hold shortened out during variation pattern is selected to be selected. In this case, for example, a table set to select the fluctuation pattern at the time-shortening time is selected on the condition that the second holding number is “1” or more until the counter becomes “0”, and the second is selected. By configuring so as to determine the variation pattern of the special symbol, even if the second reserved number reaches the upper limit when the time-shortening control is finished, “3” out of “4” second held numbers are shortened. Since the variable display can be performed with the variable time, the period until the execution of the hold variation display control of the second special symbol stored when the time-shortening control is completed can be shortened. Stopping and lowering the operating rate of gaming machines can be prevented.

  In addition, when ending the 15R low probability time-shortening counter, a separate counter from the above-mentioned time-shortening counter is “100”, which is the upper limit of the first reserved number and “4” which is the upper limit of the second reserved number. “108” obtained by adding “8” added to “4” is set, and until the counter becomes “0”, the first hold number and / or the second hold time are selected when the fluctuation pattern table at the time of the loss is selected. Depending on the number of holds, the table is set to select one of the table set so as to select the fluctuation pattern at the time shift and the table set to select the fluctuation pattern at the normal shift, and then When the counter is subtracted every time the display of the special symbol (the first special symbol, the second special symbol) is started and the counter becomes “0”, the first reserved number in the subsequent variable display And / or Configuration of switching so as to select one of the table set so that the normal deviation variation pattern is selected according to the number of two holdings and the table set so that the retention shortening deviation variation pattern is selected It is good. In this case, for example, the first set is selected by selecting a table that is set so that the fluctuation pattern at the time reduction is selected on the condition that the first holding number is “2” or more until the counter becomes “0”. A special symbol variation pattern is determined, and the second special symbol variation is selected by selecting a table that is set so that the time variation pattern is selected on the condition that the second reserved number is “1” or more. By configuring so as to determine the pattern, even if the first hold number and the second hold number reach the upper limit when the time reduction control is finished, “3” out of “4” first hold numbers Since the variable display can be displayed with the short time change time and “3” out of the “4” second hold numbers can be displayed with the short time change time, all the hold stored when the short time control ends. Fluctuating display control Period until it is possible to shorten the can suppress underutilization of Uchidome and gaming machine after time reduction control completion.

  It should be noted that a table that is set so that the time deviation deviation pattern is selected in a predetermined number of fluctuation displays from the end of 15R low probability time reduction to the counter becomes “0”, and the normal deviation fluctuation pattern are Either the single hold determination unit or the combined hold determination unit may be set as a unit for selecting one of the tables set to be selected. After the counter becomes “0” The counter is “0” as means for selecting one of the table set so that the fluctuation pattern at the time of deviation is normally selected and the table set so that the fluctuation pattern at the time of hold shortening is selected. The same means as the means set as the selection means up to or may be set, or different means may be set.

  For example, in the fluctuation display of the predetermined number of times until the counter becomes “0”, the fluctuation pattern at the time-shortening time to be executed in the short-time fluctuation time is selected if the total suspension number is “6” or more by the total suspension determination means. The variation pattern is determined by selecting the table set to be performed, and if the total pending number is less than “6”, the variation pattern at the time of normal deviation executed in the normal variation time is selected. Select the table to determine the fluctuation pattern, and if the first hold number is "3" or more in the fluctuation display after the counter becomes "0", the fluctuation at the time of the hold reduction will be executed if the first hold number is "3" or more Select the table set so that the pattern is selected and determine the variation pattern of the first special symbol. If the first reserved number is less than “3”, it is usually executed in the normal variation time Select the table that is set to select the fluctuation pattern at this time, determine the fluctuation pattern of the first special symbol, and if the second holding number is "5" or more, the hold is executed with the hold reduction fluctuation time Select a table that is set so that the fluctuation pattern at the time of shortening is selected and determine the fluctuation pattern of the second special symbol. If the second reserved number is less than “5”, the normal fluctuation time is executed. You may make it determine the variation pattern of a 2nd special symbol by selecting the table set up so that the deviation variation pattern may be selected. It should be noted that the second special symbol in the normal state is determined by determining whether or not the second special symbol is variably displayed based on whether or not the second reserved number is “5” or more during the normal state. The change display of the special symbol is always performed in the normal change time, so that the change display of the second special symbol with high rarity can be prevented from being immediately ended, and the change display can be noted.

  If the same selection means is set for a predetermined number of fluctuation displays from the end of the 15R low probability short-time to the counter reaching “0” and subsequent fluctuation displays, the table selection condition (first (The number of one hold, the number of second hold, the total number of holds) may be made different.

  For example, in the variable display of the predetermined number of times from the end of the 15R low-probability time-short time until the counter becomes “0”, if the first holding number is “5” or more, the time-short time difference is executed. Select the table set to select the time variation pattern and determine the variation pattern of the first special symbol. If the first reserved number is less than "5", it will be executed in the normal variation time Select the table set so that the variation pattern is selected and determine the variation pattern of the first special symbol. Select the table set so that the pattern is selected, determine the variation pattern of the second special symbol, and if the second reserved number is less than “1”, the variation pattern at the time of normal deviation executed in the normal variation time Selected In the change display after the counter is set to “0”, the first hold number is “3” or more. For example, if the table is set to select the fluctuation pattern at the time of hold shortening that is executed in the hold shortening fluctuation time, the fluctuation pattern of the first special symbol is determined and the first hold number is less than “3”. If there is a change pattern for the first special symbol by selecting a table that is set so that the fluctuation pattern at the time of normal deviation executed in the normal fluctuation time is selected, the second reserved number is “1” or more. For example, the table set to select the fluctuation pattern at the time of hold shortening executed in the hold shortening fluctuation time is selected to determine the fluctuation pattern of the second special symbol, and the second hold number is less than “1”. Normal fluctuation if any It may be determined the variation pattern of the second special symbol by selecting the set table to the normal off time fluctuation pattern to be executed is selected between.

  In this way, the time-shortening control is ended by setting in advance to select a table set so that the shortened variation time is selected until the predetermined number of variations are displayed when the 15R big hit is completed. It is possible to shorten the period until all of the plurality of hold fluctuation display controls at the time are executed (digested), and it is possible to suppress the stoppage and the decrease in the operating rate of the gaming machine. In addition, it is possible to appropriately set according to a period in which the number of times of variation for selecting a table set so that the shortened variation time is selected is to be shortened.

  As described above, when the variation display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is started, the state notification command for notifying the gaming state is also set, and the variation pattern command (first variation pattern command, second variation symbol command) The main control MPU 4100a transmits to the peripheral control MPU 4140a at the same time as the (variation pattern command). In this example, the change pattern command corresponding to the change pattern used during the time reduction control is transmitted from the main control board 4100a until the counter becomes “0” even after the time reduction control is finished. The peripheral control MPU 4140a displays the background of the liquid crystal display device 1400 in accordance with the gaming state notified by the state notification command, so that the time-short state (low-probability time-short state in the above-described example) has ended. The background display according to the above is executed, and the occurrence of trouble due to the fact that the opening time of the movable piece 2105 is not extended can be suppressed even though the background display in the short time state is made.

  Further, in the above-described plural variation shortening control examples, the display results of the variation display of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) are out of order, and the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c are out of reach without reach. In this example, the fluctuation time is controlled so as to reduce the fluctuation time according to the number of holds. However, this is not a limitation, and the display result of the fluctuation display of special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is off. And when the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c are out of reach with reach, the variation display results of the variation time and special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) are hit (big hit, small hit) In this case, the fluctuation time may be controlled so as to be reduced according to the number of holds.

[10-1. Hold notice]
Next, with reference to FIG. 212, a description will be given of a hold notice executed by the peripheral control MPU 4140a in response to a start winning at the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102. As described above, the first special symbol variation display start condition (the big hit game state and the small hit game state are finished, and the previous variation display is finished, among the game balls won to the first start opening 2101 as described above. Of the game balls that have not been stored (the value of the second hold counter is “0”) that has not been established, and the game balls that have won the second start port 2102 The liquid crystal display device 1400 displays the second hold numbers that do not satisfy the variable display start conditions (the big hit game state and the small hit game state have ended and the previous variable display has ended). .

  Specifically, the peripheral control MPU 4140a sends a pre-determination command (first pre-determination command, second pre-determination command) and a hold number designation command (first hold number designation command, second hold) transmitted from the main control board 4100. If the first hold number is “0” based on the number designation command), the first hold mode (dotted line circle) indicating that there is no hold variation display control corresponding to each of the first hold display areas 1500a to 1500d. ), And if the number of first hold is “1”, only the first hold display area 1500a is changed to the second hold mode indicating that there is a hold variation display control corresponding to the area, and the first special symbol is changed. If the number of holds is “2”, the first hold display area 1500a and the first hold display area 1500b are changed to the second hold mode, and if the number of hold of the first special symbol is “3”, the first hold display Territory The 1500a~1500c is changed to the second hold mode, changing all the first hold display area 1500a~1500d if the number of holding of the first special symbol is "4" second hold mode.

  Similarly, if the second hold number is “0”, the second hold display areas 1600a to 1600d are all displayed in the first hold mode (dotted line circle), and if the second hold number is “1”, the second hold display area 1600a to 1600d is displayed. Only the hold display area 1600a is changed to the second hold mode, and when the second hold number is “2”, the second hold display area 1600a and the second hold display area 1600b are changed to the second hold mode. If the second hold number is “3”, the second hold display areas 1600a to 1600c are changed to the second hold mode, and if the second hold number is “4”, the second hold display areas 1600a to 1600d are set to the second hold. Change to embodiment.

  The first hold display areas 1500a to 1500d are displayed every time the first special symbol variation display is started (specifically, the first variation pattern command indicating that the first special symbol variation display is started is received). (The display of the first hold display areas 1500b to 1500d is moved to the first hold display areas 1500a to 1500c), and the display of the second hold display areas 1600a to 1600d is a variable display of the second special symbol. (Specifically, every time a second variation pattern command indicating that the variation display of the second special symbol is started) is shifted (the second retention display areas 1600b to 1600d are displayed as the second retention display). (Moved and displayed in the areas 1600a to 1600c). In this example, the first hold number and the second hold number are individually displayed. However, the first hold number and the second hold number may be displayed together.

  When the peripheral control MPU 4140a receives the prior determination command, the peripheral control MPU 4140a corresponds to the hold variation display control instructed by the prior determination command for the corresponding one of the first hold display areas 1500a to 1500d and the second hold display areas 1600a to 1600d. When it is determined that the hold notice is to be executed by executing the hold notice determination process (step S601f) for determining whether or not to make a hold notice to display the area in a manner corresponding to the degree of the possibility of jackpot A notice is given that the possibility of a big hit is high by controlling the display of the corresponding area in a predetermined notice mode in the second hold mode.

  For example, when the game ball is started and won at the first start port 2101 in the state where the first hold number is “1” (only the first hold display area 1500a is displayed in the second hold mode), the start When the peripheral control MPU 4140a executes the hold notice determination process based on the winning and determines that no hold notice is given, the normal second that does not notify the first hold display area 1500b corresponding to the start winning is not predicted. “Black circle” is displayed as the holding mode (FIG. 212A), and the first holding number is “2” (the first holding display areas 1500a and 1500b are displayed in the second holding mode; FIG. 212). (A)), when the game ball wins the first start opening 2101, the peripheral control MPU 4140a executes the hold notice determination process based on the start prize, and when it determines that the hold notice is given, the start Any one of a plurality of types of notice modes as the second hold form in the first hold display area 1500c corresponding to the winning prize (the normal notice form may be displayed to execute the hold notice of the gusset) “?” Indicating the display of “?” Is displayed as “black circle” with white outline (FIG. 212B).

  Then, when the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c are variably displayed based on the reception of the first variation pattern command for instructing to start the variation display of the first special symbol, the second of the first reserved display areas 1500b and 1500c. The holding mode is shifted to the first holding display areas 1500a and 1500b, and the character A is displayed (FIG. 212C). The white “black circle” is kicked off (FIG. 212 (D)). Thereafter, the display of the character A disappears and the notice mode (in this example, “star”) determined in the hold notice determination process (step S601f) is displayed in the first hold display area 1500b that is the object of the notice of hold (FIG. 212). (E)).

  Note that when a “black circle” in which “?” Is outlined is displayed in the first reserved display area 1500a based on the start winning prize, the first variation pattern instructing to start the variation display of the first special symbol. When the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c are variably displayed based on the received command, the second hold of the first hold display area 1500a is displayed in the first auxiliary area 1500 (see FIG. 213) on the lower left side of the first hold display area 1500a. The notice mode determined after the mode is shifted and the character A kicks the “black circle” in which the “?” In the first auxiliary area 1500 is outlined is displayed in the first auxiliary area 1500. Similarly, when a “black circle” in which “?” Is outlined is displayed in the second reserved display area 1600a based on the start winning, the first variation pattern instructing to start the variation display of the second special symbol. When the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c are variably displayed based on receiving the command, the second hold mode of the second hold display area 1600a is shifted to the second auxiliary area 1600 on the lower left side of the second hold display area 1600a. The notice mode determined after the character A kicks the “black circle” in which “?” In the second auxiliary area 1600 is outlined is displayed in the second auxiliary area 1600. As a result, it is possible to reliably notify the hold notice mode.

  In addition, during the execution of the hold variation display control that is the subject of the hold notice, the hold notice mode is displayed in a recognizable manner. Specifically, the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c are received based on the reception of the first variation pattern command instructing to start the variation display of the first special symbol in the state where the pending notice mode is displayed in the first reserved display region 1500a. When the variable display is displayed, the mode of the hold notice displayed in the first hold display area 1500a is shifted to the first auxiliary area and displayed until the change display ends. Similarly, the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c are changed based on the reception of the second variation pattern command for instructing the start of the variation display of the second special symbol in the state where the reservation notice mode is displayed in the second reserved display region 1600a. When displaying, the display of the hold notice displayed in the second hold display area 1600a is shifted to the second auxiliary area and is displayed until the change display ends. Accordingly, it is possible to easily recognize that the hold variation display control that is the subject of the hold notice is being executed, and it is possible to improve the expectation for the big hit.

  In this way, in this example, at the time of the start winning prize, firstly, “?” Is displayed with a white “black circle” to notify that it is a subject of the hold notice, and the next decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c are displayed in a variable manner. In order to execute the two-stage hold notice that displays the notice form determined in the hold notice determination process (step S601f) at the start, not only the notice of the hold notice is noted, but also “?” It is also possible to pay attention to whether or not a white “black circle” is displayed. When the “?” Is displayed as a white circle when the “?” Can be expected over a long period of time. In addition, “black” with white “?” Is not simply changed to the notice mode determined in the holding notice determination process (step S601f), but “?” Is white with character A “?”. Since the “black circle” is changed, it is possible to easily recognize the change of the second holding mode and the notice of holding.

  Note that the timing for changing the second holding mode by the character A after displaying the “black circle” in which “?” Is outlined at the start winning prize and notifying that it is subject to the holding notice is as described above. The second hold mode may be changed by the character A in a variable display of the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c that is started after notifying that it is the target of the hold notice. Thereby, attention can be paid to the expression timing of the character A, and the interest can be maintained for a long period of time.

  In addition, the character A that appears in the hold notice also appears in other notice effects. For example, as shown in FIGS. 212 (A ′) to 212 (E ′), the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c are received based on the reception of the first variation pattern command instructing to start the variation display of the first special symbol. Is displayed in a manner similar to that at the time of holding notice (FIG. 212 (C ′)), and passes through without being moved to the holding display area (FIG. 212 (D ′)). In this way, since the second hold mode is changed using the character A common to other notice effects, even when the hold notice is not executed, it is possible to expect the hold notice by displaying the character A. Also, in this example, the display of the hold notice is not displayed at the start winning prize, but the character A is displayed and the hold notice form is displayed when the decorative symbol variation display is started. The character A can be displayed at the same timing, and it becomes difficult to discriminate between the other notice effects and the hold notice, so that even when the hold notice is not executed, the character A is displayed for the hold notice. be able to. In this case, the degree of expectation of the hold notice is set to be high (for example, the hold change display control subject to the hold notice is a big hit with a probability of 50% or more) The degree of expectation of the notice effect may be set low (for example, in the variable display in which the notice effect performed by displaying the character A is performed, the probability is 80% or more). Generally, when the expectation level of the notice effect is set high, the execution frequency of the notice effect is lowered, and when the expectation level of the notice effect is set low, the frequency of execution of the notice effect is increased. When the expectation degree of the hold notice is set high, the hold notice is executed less frequently and the hold notice is rarely executed. However, the expectation of the notice effect that displays the character A in the same manner as the hold notice is lowered. Even if the hold notice is not executed by setting, it can be expected to execute the hold notice, and the expectation frequency for the hold notice is increased without lowering the expectation of the hold notice. Can do.

  In the above example, the “?” Is displayed with a black circle in the start winning prize to notify that it is subject to the hold notice. Even if there is, the normal second holding mode which is not the notice mode is displayed and the character A is displayed at a predetermined timing after the start prize is generated without notifying that it is the subject of the hold notice at the time of the start prize. The normal second hold mode that is not the notice mode that is the subject of the hold notice may be changed to the notice mode, or the normal second hold mode that is not the notice mode at a predetermined timing after the start winning is generated. Is changed to “black circle” with a white outline and notified that it is subject to the pending notice (may be within the variable display that informs that it is subject to the pending notice. And subject to hold notice May be to expose the character A "?" Is to change the aspect of the pending notice the "black dot" that is white in the notification may be a variable display and later change the display that was) that you are. This makes it possible to focus attention not only on the occurrence of a start winning prize but also whether or not there is a subsequent advance notice, and can maintain interest over a long period of time. In addition, the timing for changing the normal second hold mode that is not the previous notice mode to the previous notice mode may be caused by conditions such as the occurrence of a new start prize, the start of variable display, the passage of a predetermined time, and the like. .

  In the above-described example, when the advance notice command transmitted from the main control MPU 4100a is received and the hold notice determination process (step S601f) is executed to determine that the hold notice is given, the peripheral control MPU 4140a is set to “?”. Although it has been configured to notify that the target of the hold notice is displayed by displaying a white “black circle”, the peripheral control MPU 4140a also shows “?” Is white when it is determined that the hold notice is not given. “Black circle” may be displayed, and “black circle” in which “?” Is outlined in the variation display of the decorative pattern that is started thereafter may be changed to a pending notice mode. Thereby, it is possible to always pay attention to the hold notice when the start prize is won. In this case, “?” Is displayed after displaying “black circle” with white outline (may be the next variation display or any variation display started after that). It is possible to display a character corresponding to the mode of the reserved notice (according to the degree of expectation related to the jackpot winning) in the display of the decorative pattern to be changed by the character. A character that changes the “black circle” in which “?” Is outlined can also be noted.

  Note that, as described above, in this example, the second special symbol hold variation display control is controlled so as to be given priority over the first special symbol hold variation display control, and the start winning to the second start port 2102 is determined. In the short time state that increases from the non-short time state, if the hold variation display control of the first special symbol is suspended, the second start port 2102 in a state in which the hold variation display control that has a high expectation degree related to the big win is held (stock). Because it is possible to generate a large number of start prizes to win a large number of big hits in a short period of time aiming for a big hit, there is a risk of gambling more than necessary, so the second special symbol during the short time state Is controlled so as not to notify the hold, but the change display of the second special symbol is not executed in preference to the change display of the first special symbol, for example, in the order in which the start winnings are generated. Fluctuation When the display control is digested (sequential variation) or the first special symbol hold variation display control and the second special symbol hold variation display control are alternately digested (alternate variation) Since it is difficult to put the hold fluctuation display control having a high expectation level in a hold state (stock), the hold change display control of the first special symbol may be put on hold notice during the short time state.

[10-2. Modified example of hold notice]
Next, a modified example of the reservation notice will be described with reference to FIG. In the example described above, a black circle in which “?” Is outlined in the corresponding area of the holding display areas (first holding display areas 1500a to 1500d, second holding display areas 1600a to 1600d) based on the winning winning game ball. In the variable display started after that, the second hold mode is changed. However, when it is determined that the hold notice is given, the hold display area (the first display area) is triggered by the start winning or the starting winning that occurs thereafter. All of the second hold modes displayed in the one hold display areas 1500a to 1500d and the second hold display areas 1600a to 1600d) may be changed to the notice mode.

  That is, the timing for displaying the notice mode according to the hold notice when the hold notice determination process (step S601f) is executed and the hold notice is determined (displayed immediately or triggered by a start winning that has occurred thereafter) Or, when displaying the start winnings that have occurred after that, the number of start winnings until the display is made (when the notice is displayed in the first reserved table areas 1500a to 1500d, the starting winnings to the first starting port 2101 are displayed. Only the number of occurrences may be targeted, or both the number of start prizes generated at the first start port 2101 and the number of start prizes generated at the second start port 2102 may be targeted. Similarly, when displaying the advance notice in the second hold display areas 1600a to 1600d, only the start winning occurrence number to the second start port 2102 may be targeted. It is also possible to target both the number of start prizes generated at the start port 2101 and the number of start prizes generated at the second start port 2102))) and determining the occurrence of the start prize according to the timing As a trigger, all of the second hold modes displayed in the hold display areas (first hold display areas 1500a to 1500d and second hold display areas 1600a to 1600d) are changed to the determined notice mode.

  For example, a start winning to the first start port 2101 occurs when the first reserved number and the second reserved number are both “0” while the special symbol (the first special symbol, the second special symbol) is being displayed. The peripheral control MPU 4140a executes the hold notice determination process based on the reception of the advance determination command transmitted from the main control MPU 4100a, and determines that the hold notice to display “star” is given, and the hold mode When “2” is determined as the number of start winning occurrences until “” is displayed, first, the normal second holding mode is displayed in the first holding display area 1500a corresponding to the starting winning.

  After that, if two game balls start winning at the first start port 2101 before starting the hold variation display control determined to be the hold advance notice, the first hold display area is displayed when the first game ball wins the start. A normal second hold mode is displayed on 1500b (FIG. 213 (A)), and the first hold display areas 1500a to 1500c are all determined in advance by the hold notice determination process when the second game ball wins a start. The “star” which is the notice mode being displayed is displayed (FIG. 213 (B)).

  When the first variation pattern command for instructing the start of variation display of the first special symbol is received in a state in which the notice mode is displayed in the first suspension display region 1500a, the first suspension display region 1500a displays the first variation pattern command. A notice mode (FIG. 213 (B)) that displays the notice mode ("star" in the example shown in FIG. 213B) shifted to the first auxiliary area 1500 and displayed in the first reserved display areas 1500b and 1500c. In the example shown in FIG. 213, “star”) is shifted to the first reserved display areas 1500a and 1500b and displayed (FIG. 213C). When the hold variation display control determined to hold advance notice is finished, the notice form of the first hold display areas 1500a and 1500b ("star" in the example of FIG. 213D) is changed to the normal second hold form (in this example). Return to black circles (FIG. 213 (E)).

  In this way, when it is determined to hold advance notice, in order to change all second hold forms displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 to the notice form triggered by either the current start prize or the subsequent start prize, It is possible to give unexpectedness to the player, and it becomes difficult to specify the hold variation display control that is the subject of the hold notice, and it is possible to focus on all the hold change display controls in which the notice mode is displayed. Yes, it can deter the fall of gaming entertainment.

  In this example, when the notice mode is displayed in the first hold display area 1500a, the notice mode is always shifted to the first auxiliary area 1500 and displayed. May be displayed in the first auxiliary area 1500 when it is not displayed in any of the first hold display areas 1500a to 1500d. In other words, the first auxiliary area 1500 and the second auxiliary area 1600 may be displayed when there is no state in which the notice mode of the variable display being executed can be known.

  In addition, when changing all the second hold modes to the notice mode, the area to be changed according to the gaming state may be different. For example, in the non-short-time state, the first hold display areas 1500a to 1500d are displayed. All the second hold modes may be changed to the notice mode, and in the short time state, only all the second hold modes displayed in the second hold display areas 1600a to 1600d may be changed to the notice mode. As a result, as described above, it is possible to prevent gambling from being necessary more than necessary. In addition, not only in all the second hold modes, but in all the second hold modes, any of the hold variation display control that is the subject of the hold notice and the hold change display control that is not the subject of the hold notice The second hold mode corresponding to the plurality of hold fluctuation display controls may be changed to the notice mode.

In addition, as a condition for changing the second suspension mode to the notice mode, the one that is triggered by either the current start prize or the subsequent start prize is shown, but is not limited to this, for example, after the start prize It may be triggered by the start of any of the variable displays, or triggered by the elapse of a predetermined period after the start winning is generated.
[11. Reservation notice
Next, an explanation will be given of the reservation notice that is executed each time the liquid crystal display device 1400 starts to display the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c.

  Although not shown, in this example, when the decorative symbols 14001 to 1400c are variably displayed, an equalizer composed of three colors of red, green, and blue is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400.

  When the peripheral control MPU 4140a determines the display mode of the equalizer according to the variation pattern command (first variation pattern command, second variation pattern command) received from the main control MPU 4100a, and starts variation display of the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c. The equalizer is changed to stop display before the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c are stopped and displayed (at least before the middle decorative symbol 1400b to be finally stopped is stopped and displayed).

  In the equalizer, “red” indicates “reach expectation”, “green” indicates “reach development expectation”, and “blue” indicates “expected probability per probability”. Each color is displayed as a barometer in five levels, and the higher the barometer level displayed, the higher the expectation.

It should be noted that a big hit may always be made when a corresponding effect is executed in a state where the expectation is displayed with a one-stage barometer. For example, when the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c reach reach in a state where the red barometer that displays the reach expectation level is displayed in one stage, it may be a big hit.
[12. Switching production]
Next, a switching effect that is executed when the decorative symbols 1400a to 1400c are variably displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 and the reach is lost will be described.

  In this example, when the left decorative symbol 1400a and the right decorative symbol 1400c are stopped and displayed with the same symbol and reach, then the middle decorative symbol 1400b is stopped and displayed with a symbol different from the left and right decorative symbols 1400a and 1400c. Causes the liquid crystal display device 1400 to black out (dark display).

  Then, a character (for example, “HK”) is displayed at the center of the liquid crystal display device 1400 and gradually enlarged. At this time, a normal image (an image that is not dark-displayed) is displayed in the area corresponding to the character, the area that does not correspond to the character is still dark-displayed, and the character is displayed until the normal image is displayed in all the areas. Expand.

  Thereby, the end of the reach effect can be notified, and attention can be paid to the next variable display.

  The present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention as described below. And design changes are possible.
