In the first special symbol display device 11, a variation game (design variation game) is performed in which symbols (special symbol, first symbol) are displayed in a variable manner. In the present embodiment, the variation game played on the first special symbol display device 11 may be simply indicated as “first variation game”.

  The game board YB is provided with a second special symbol display device 12 having a plurality of light emitting portions. In the second special symbol display device 12, a variation game (design variation game) is performed in which the symbol (second symbol) is displayed in a variable manner. In the present embodiment, the variable game played on the second special symbol display device 12 may be simply indicated as “second variable game”. The first variation game and the second variation game are configured not to be executed at the same time.

  In the present embodiment, the first special symbol display device 11 and the second special symbol display device 12 select and select one special symbol corresponding to the lottery result of the big win lottery from a plurality of types of special symbols. The special symbol is stopped and displayed when the variable game ends. Special symbols are classified into jackpot symbols that can recognize jackpots (big hit display results) and outlier symbols that can recognize losing points (missing display results). When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the player is awarded a jackpot game after the end of the variable game.

  The game board YB is provided with an effect display device 13 for displaying images. In the effect display device 13, display effects related to each variation game are performed. Specifically, a decorative design variation game in which a plurality of types of decorative symbols are varied in a plurality of columns is performed as the display effect.

  The effect display device 13 is configured such that a plurality of types of decorative symbols can be displayed in a variable manner and stopped for each column. The effect display device 13 is configured with a larger display area than the first special symbol display device 11 and the second special symbol display device 12, and the decorative symbol is displayed much larger than the special symbol. The For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or loss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13.

  In the effect display device 13, when the variable game is started, the decorative symbols in each column are variably displayed along a predetermined variable direction (vertical scroll direction). In the effect display device 13, the symbol combination corresponding to the display results of the special symbol display devices 11 and 12 is stopped and displayed. More specifically, when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display devices 11 and 12, the jackpot symbol combination is also stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13. When the special symbol display devices 11 and 12 are stopped and displayed, the off symbol combination is also stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13.

  The big win symbol combination is a case where the symbols of all the columns stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13 are of the same type, and the symbol combination of all the columns stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13 is the out of symbol combination. This is the case when they are not of the same type.

  In addition, when the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed are of the same type, the reach state can be recognized from the symbol combination ([↓] indicates that the symbol is changing, such as [1 ↓ 1]). In the reach state, the decorative symbols in the specific columns (the left column and the right column in the present embodiment) of the plurality of columns are stopped in the same type, and the columns other than the specific columns (the middle column in the present embodiment) This is a state in which the decorative design is variably displayed. The symbol combination that can recognize this reach state becomes the symbol combination of the reach by the decorative symbol.

  A distribution start unit SU is disposed below the effect display device 13. This distribution start unit SU has a first start winning opening 14 and a second starting winning opening 15, and a game ball that has entered from the entrance 16 is used for the first start winning opening 14 and the second start opening.

For this reason, the player can obtain a chance to acquire a large number of prize balls. In this embodiment, the big hit game is advantageous to the player because a chance to win a large number of prize balls can be obtained. This jackpot game is given when the jackpot is determined by an internal lottery and the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed in a variable game.

  A first hold display device 24 is disposed on the game board YB. The first hold display device 24 indicates the number of first variable games whose execution is held. Specifically, the first hold display device 24 enters the first start winning opening 14 to satisfy the start condition for the first variable game, while the execution condition for the first variable game is still satisfied. This indicates the number of first variation games whose execution (start) is suspended because there is no so-called start-pending memory (hereinafter referred to as the first holding memory).

  A second on-hold display device 25 is disposed on the game board YB. The second hold display device 25 indicates the number of second variable games whose execution is being held. Specifically, the second hold display device 25 enters the second start winning opening 15 and the third start winning opening 18 to satisfy the start condition of the second variable game, while Since the execution condition has not yet been established, the number of second variable games whose execution (start) is suspended, that is, the so-called stored number of starting suspensions (hereinafter referred to as second retained memory number) is shown.

  In addition, a normal symbol display device 26 is disposed on the game board YB. In the normal symbol display device 26, a normal symbol variation game (hereinafter referred to as a “general symbol”) based on a normal symbol that derives one common symbol by varying a plurality of types of ordinary symbols (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “normal symbols”). May be indicated as “game”).

  The player can recognize the normal hit or the normal deviation from the general map finally displayed in the general game (the display result derived in the general game). If the common symbol stopped on the normal symbol display device 26 is a normal symbol, the normal symbol can be recognized. When the normal winning symbol is stopped and displayed, the normal winning game is given to the player. In addition, when the usual figure stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display device 26 is a symbol that is normally off, the normal deviation can be recognized from the usual symbol.

  An operation gate 27 is disposed on the right side of the effect display device 13. The operation gate 27 is provided with a gate sensor SE5 (see FIG. 5) that detects a winning (passed) game ball. When the operation gate 27 detects the game ball (detects passage), the start condition for the usual game can be established. The usual game is performed in order to derive a lottery result indicating whether or not the opening / closing blade 20 of the third start winning opening 18 is opened (whether a game ball can be inserted into the third starting winning opening 18). It is a production that is called. If the lottery result of the usual game is a normal win and a game is given per universal figure, the opening / closing blade 20 is opened and the third start winning opening 18 is opened, and the game ball can be won. In other words, when a game is given per game, it becomes easier for the game ball to enter the third start winning opening 18 by opening the opening / closing blade 20, and the player can easily start the second variable game start condition and the winning ball. You can get a chance to win.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function is provided. The probability variation function is a function that can give a probability variation state (probability variation state) in which the lottery probability of the big hit lottery varies from a low probability to a high probability after the big hit game ends. In this embodiment, the probability variation state is given until the probability variation end condition is satisfied. The probability variation state can be advantageous to the player because the lottery probability of the jackpot lottery fluctuates with high probability and the jackpot is likely to occur.

  In the present embodiment, there is provided a falling function that changes the lottery probability of the big hit lottery from a high probability to a low probability based on the lottery result of the falling lottery with the start of the variable game. By winning the falling lottery, the probability variation end condition is established.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the entrance easy function is provided. The easy-to-enter function is a function that can provide an easy-to-enter state that is advantageous to the player after the end of the big hit game. In the easy-to-enter state, the variation time of the normal game for deriving the lottery result of the general-purpose lottery is shortened as compared to the non-entry easy state where the easy-to-enter state is not given. Further, in the easy entry state, the probability of winning the normal winning lottery is higher than in the non-entry easy state. Further, in the easy-to-enter state, when the lottery per common figure is won, the opening time of the opening / closing blade 20 is longer when the lottery per common figure is won than in the non-entry easy state. In addition, in the easy-to-enter state, the variation time of the variable game may be shortened compared to that in the non-entrance easy state. There are many cases.

  In this embodiment, the easy entry state is given until the easy entry end condition is satisfied. The easy-to-enter state can be advantageous to the player because the open / close blade 20 operates advantageously for the player and it is easy to enter the third start winning opening 18 per unit time. From the above, in the easy-to-enter state, a state in which it is easier for the game ball to enter the third start winning opening 18 than usual is given. It should be noted that the easy-to-enter state can be given even during the probability variation state.

  In the present embodiment, the entrance 16 in the sorting start unit SU is provided in the first flow path X mainly including the left side of the game board YB. On the other hand, the third start winning device 19 (third start winning port 18 and opening / closing blade 20), the big winning device 22 and the operation gate 27 are provided in the second flow path Y mainly on the right side of the game board YB. ing. For this reason, in a non-entry easy state where it is difficult for a game ball to enter the third start winning opening 18, the game is advanced so as to fire the game ball into the first flow path X, and the third start winning opening 18 In an easy-to-enter state where the game ball can easily enter, the game is advanced so as to fire the game ball into the second flow path Y. Further, even during a big hit game in which a game ball can enter the big winning device 22, the game is advanced so as to fire the game ball into the second flow path Y.

Next, the jackpot game in this embodiment will be described.
The jackpot game is started after the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed in the variable game and the game is finished. When the big hit game starts, the opening time is set. And in this opening time, the opening effect which shows the start of a big hit game is performed first. In addition, when the opening time ends, a round game in which the special winning opening 21 is opened is performed a plurality of times up to a predetermined prescribed number of rounds. During one round game, the big winning opening 21 is opened until the upper limit number of game balls are won or until a specified time elapses. In round games, round effects are performed. When all round games are finished, an ending time is set. Also, during this ending time, an ending effect indicating the end of the big hit game is performed. When the ending time is over, the big hit game is over.

  In the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit is determined from a plurality of types of big hits, and a big hit game corresponding to the determined big hit type is given. And, which of the big hits among a plurality of types of big hits is determined according to the type of special symbol (big hit symbol) determined when winning the big hit lottery.

Here, the specifications of so-called pachinko gaming machines, such as the winning probability of the jackpot lottery and the contents of the jackpot game will be described.
As shown in FIG. 3, the “big hit probability” indicates the winning probability (during the non-probable change state and during the probable change state) of the big hit determination (lottery). The “falling probability” indicates the winning probability of the falling lottery. Thus, the jackpot probability is defined so that the probability variation state is higher than the non-probability variation state. Further, the falling probability is defined to be lower than the jackpot probability regardless of whether or not the probability change state, and the winning lottery is won with a lower probability than winning the jackpot lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit is determined from five types of big hits, and the big hit game corresponding to the determined big hit is given. It has become so. Which of the five types of big hits is awarded is determined according to a special figure (big hit symbol) determined when the big hit lottery is won.

In the present embodiment, the 100 types of special bonus jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display devices 11 and 12 in a fixed stop manner are classified according to the type of jackpot.
Of the jackpot symbols that are confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 11, the symbol ZA has five types of jackpot symbols, the symbol ZB has 25 jackpot symbols, and the symbol ZC has ten jackpot symbols. The symbol ZD has 20 types of jackpot symbols, and the symbol ZE has 40 types of jackpot symbols.

  Similarly, out of the jackpot symbols that are confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12, the symbol Za has 5 types of jackpot symbols, the symbol Zb has 25 types of jackpot symbols, and the symbol Zc has Ten types of jackpot symbols are assigned, 20 types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol Zd, and 40 types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol Ze.

  When a jackpot symbol classified as symbol ZA is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 11, or when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol Za is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12. The jackpot game to be given is a jackpot game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “12 times”. The other jackpot games are jackpot games in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “4 times”.

  In all of these jackpot games, “25 s” is defined as the maximum time for each round game. In each jackpot game, the opening time, the interval time between rounds (interval between rounds), and the ending time are defined as fixed times.

  In the following, the big hit symbol classified as symbol ZA is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 11 as “big hit A”, and the big hit symbol classified as symbol Za is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12. The displayed big hit is indicated as “big hit a”. Similarly, the jackpot symbols classified into symbols ZB to ZE are “big hit B to E” when the jackpot symbols classified and displayed on the first special symbol display device 11 are stopped, and the jackpot symbols classified into symbols Zb to Ze are the second. The big hits that are confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display device 12 are indicated as “big hits b to e”.

  After all of the big hit games have ended, the probability variation state is given regardless of the game state when the big hit lottery is won. In addition, this probability change state is given unless the winning lottery is won, and is not given from the variation game winning the falling lottery.

  In addition, after the big hit game ends, depending on the game state when the big hit lottery is won and the type of the big hit, there are cases where the easy entry state is given. In the present embodiment, the number of variable games to which the easy entry state is granted after the end of the big hit game is a predetermined number of times (4 times, 8 times or 16 times), and a predetermined number of times. (100 times) is determined at a minimum, and thereafter, it may be given until it becomes an uncertain change state by winning the falling lottery.

  Hereinafter, the easy entry state is given in 100 variable games, and thereafter, the easy entry state is given as long as the certain change state is given, and the 100 easy entry easy state is given. May be shown. On the other hand, giving the easy entry state with an upper limit of four, eight, or sixteen variable games may indicate that an easy entry state that is not 100 times confirmed is given.

  As a specific example, after the big hit game is completed, when the easy entry state of 100 times is given, when the falling lottery is won in the 80th variation game, the entry is made up to 100 variation games. The easy state is given, and the easy entry state is not given from the 101st variation game. In addition, after winning the big hit game, when winning the falling lottery in the 120th variation game, the easy entry state is given up to the 119th variation game, and the easy entry state is not given from the 120th variation game. .

  Explaining in detail for each type of jackpot, if the jackpot A, a is won, regardless of the game state at the time of winning, after the jackpot game is over, a state of easy entry that is confirmed 100 times is given (Fig. In this case, “100 times confirmed” is indicated).

  When the big hits B and b are won in the non-entering easy state and the non-probability changing state, the easy-to-enter state is given with 16 variable games as the upper limit. When the big hits B and b are won in the non-entry easy state and the probable change state, the easy entry state is given up to eight variable games as the upper limit. Regardless of whether or not it is in a promiscuous state, if the big hits B and b are won in the easy entry state, the easy entry state that is confirmed 100 times is given.

  When the big hits C and c are won in the non-entering easy state and the non-probability changing state, the easy-to-enter state is given up to eight variable games as the upper limit. When the big hits C and c are won in the non-entering easy state and the probability changing state, the easy entering state is given up to four variable games as the upper limit. Regardless of whether or not it is in a promiscuous state, if the big hit C, c is won in the easy entry state, the easy entry state that is confirmed 100 times is given.

  When the big hits D and d are won in the non-entering easy state and the non-probability changing state, the easy-to-enter state is given with 16 variable games as the upper limit. When the big hits D and d are won in the non-entrance easy state and the probability variation state, the easy entry state is not given. Regardless of whether or not it is in a promiscuous state, when the big hits D and d are won in the easy entry state, the easy entry state that is confirmed 100 times is given.

  Regardless of whether or not it is in a probable change state, if the big hits E and e are won in the non-entrance easy state, the easy entry state is not given. Regardless of whether or not it is in a promiscuous state, when the big hits E and e are won in the easy entry state, the easy entry state that is confirmed 100 times is given.

  In this way, based on the gaming state when winning the jackpot lottery and the type of jackpot, it is determined whether the easy entry state is given or not, and how many times the easy entry state is given. Become. In addition, when winning a big hit A, a, it is possible to enter the easy entry state that is confirmed 100 times regardless of the gaming state when the big hit lottery is won. On the other hand, when winning the big hits B to E and B to e, whether or not the easy entry state is given or whether the easy entry state is given depending on the gaming state when the big hit lottery is won. The number of times is different. In particular, when winning big hits B to E and B to e in a state where it is easy to enter, a state where it is easy to enter 100 times is given. On the other hand, if the big hits BE to E and BE are won in the non-entry easy state, the easy entry state of 100 times is not given, and the upper limit is four, eight, and sixteen variable games. The easy entry state is provided, or the easy entry state itself is not provided. In addition, when the big hits B to D and b to d are won in the non-entrance easy state, whether the easy entry state is given or not is determined depending on whether or not the probability change state is given at that time. The number of times that the ball easy state is given is different. In addition, if the big hit C, c is won in the non-entrance easy state and the probable change state, the upper limit is 4 variable games that are smaller than the upper limit of the total number of reserved memory (total number of each stored memory, upper limit number of times of reservation) The easy-to-enter state is given.

  In this embodiment, the state in which the easy entry state is not given is the first state, the easy entry state that is not 100 times fixed is the second state, and the easy entry state that is 100 times confirmed is the second state. The given state corresponds to the third state. Further, the control content controlled to the first state corresponds to the first control content, the control content controlled to the second state corresponds to the second control content, and the control content controlled to the third state corresponds to the third control content. . The second state is more advantageous to the player than the first state, and the third state is more advantageous to the player than the second state. In addition, 4 times, 8 times, and 16 times correspond to the first upper limit number, and 100 times or more corresponds to the second upper limit number. Further, 4 times corresponds to the specified number of times and the first specified number of times, and 8 times corresponds to the second specified number of times. In this embodiment, the big hits B, C, b, and c correspond to the first big hit, the big hits E and e correspond to the second big hit, and the big hits A and a correspond to the third big hit, respectively.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine will be described based on FIG.
A main control board 30 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine. The main control board 30 as the first control means executes various processes relating to the pachinko gaming machine and outputs various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results. An effect control board 31 is mounted on the back side of the machine. The effect control board 31 as the second control means relates to the determination of the display mode (display images such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the effect display device 13 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. Processes are executed, and display contents are controlled according to the processing results. The effect control board 31 controls the sound output mode of the speaker SP and the light emission mode of the decorative lamp LA based on the control signal output from the main control board 30.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main control CPU 30a. A main control ROM 30b and a main control RAM 30c are connected to the main control CPU 30a. Various sensors SE1 to SE5 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. The first special symbol display device 11, the second special symbol display device 12, the first hold display device 24, the second hold display device 25, and the normal symbol display device 26 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. The main control CPU 30a is connected with a big prize opening solenoid SOL1 and a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a main control program for executing various processes related to the pachinko gaming machine. The main control ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern is a base for a game effect (display effect, etc.) from when the symbol (special symbol) starts to display the variation (the variation game starts) to when the symbol is stopped (the variation game ends). It shows a pattern. That is, the variation pattern can specify at least the effect time (variation time) from when the special symbol starts to be variably displayed until the special symbol is stopped and displayed. In the variation pattern in the present embodiment, it is also possible to specify the contents of the variation game (such as whether there is a big hit, whether there is a reach effect, etc.) from when the special symbol is started to be displayed until the special symbol is stopped. .

  The variation pattern includes a jackpot variation pattern that specifies a jackpot effect. In addition, the fluctuation pattern includes a loss reach fluctuation pattern that specifies a loss reach effect that is finally set as a deviation after a predetermined effect (for example, reach effect) is performed, and a loss effect that is determined as a gap without forming a reach. There is an outlier variation pattern that identifies Note that a plurality of types of variation patterns are prepared for the big hit variation pattern, the loss reach variation pattern, and the loss variation pattern.

  The jackpot effect is an effect in which the variable game is developed so as to finally stop and display the symbol combination of the jackpot through the normal variation effect and the reach effect. The outlier reach effect is an effect that is developed so that the fluctuating game undergoes the normal fluctuating effect and the reach effect, and finally stops and displays the symbol combinations that are out of place. The outlier effect is an effect that is developed so that the floating game is finally displayed in a stopped state through the normal varying effect without the reach effect. The reach effect is an effect that is performed in a variable game with decorative symbols on the effect display device 13 after a reach symbol combination is formed until a jackpot symbol combination or an outlier symbol combination is derived. The normal variation effect is an effect before the reach symbol combination is formed, or an effect in which the reach symbol combination is not formed.

  The main control ROM 30b stores various determination values (predetermined determination values). For example, the main control ROM 30b stores a jackpot determination value used in the jackpot lottery. The number of jackpot judgment values at high probability (high probability jackpot judgment value) with a probability variation state is higher than the number of jackpot judgment values (low probability jackpot judgment value) at a low probability without a probability variation state It is increasing.

  In particular, the jackpot determination value is a common jackpot determination value that is won in the jackpot lottery regardless of whether or not the probability variation state is given, and when the probability variation state is awarded, the winning combination is not given the probability variation state Sometimes there is a jackpot judgment value dedicated to high probability that is not won. That is, the high-probability jackpot determination value is composed of all of the low-probability jackpot determination values as common jackpot determination values and a high-probability dedicated jackpot determination value other than the low-probability jackpot determination values. On the other hand, all the low-probability jackpot determination values are included in the high-probability jackpot determination value, and a determination value that is not included in the high-probability jackpot determination value is not defined. The main control ROM 30b stores a fall determination value used in the fall lottery. The main control ROM 30b stores a reach determination value used in the reach lottery for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect.

  The main control RAM 30c stores various information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that can be appropriately rewritten during operation of the pachinko gaming machine. For example, the main control RAM 30c stores a main probability change flag indicating whether or not a probability change state is given. The main control RAM 30c stores a main operation flag indicating whether or not the easy-to-enter state is given.

  Also, in the main control board 30, a hit determination random number (big hit determination random number), a fall determination random number, a special symbol distribution random number (big hit type determination random number), a reach effect determination random number, a variation pattern distribution Various random numbers used as random numbers are generated. Incidentally, the random number for hit determination is a random number used for the big hit lottery. The random number for falling determination is a random number used for the falling lottery. The reach determination random number is a random number used for reach lottery. The random number for special symbol distribution is a random number used when determining a special symbol (type of jackpot). The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when determining the variation pattern. The values that can be taken by the random numbers for variation pattern distribution have different distributions for each category of the loss variation pattern, the loss reach variation pattern, and the big hit variation pattern. Note that the random numbers used as various random numbers may be hardware random numbers or software random numbers.

Next, the effect control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The effect control board 31 is provided with an effect control CPU 31a. An effect control ROM 31b and an effect control RAM 31c are connected to the effect control CPU 31a. The effect control RAM 31c stores various types of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine. For example, the sub-probability change flag indicating whether or not the probability change state is given is stored in the effect control RAM 31c. In addition, the effect control RAM 31c stores a secondary operation flag indicating whether or not the easy-to-enter state is given. The effect control CPU 31a updates the values of various random numbers at predetermined intervals, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the effect control RAM 31c, and rewrites the values before the update.

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

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

  First, the main control CPU 30a executes a first hold determination for determining whether or not a game ball has entered the first start winning opening 14. That is, in the first hold determination, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first detection signal output when the first start sensor SE1 detects the game ball is input. When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative (when the ball is entered), the main control CPU 30a specifies the first hold storage number based on the storage content of the main control RAM 30c, and specifies the specified first hold storage number. Is determined to be less than the upper limit value (“4” in the present embodiment). When the determination result of the first reserved memory number determination is negative (when the upper limit value of the first reserved memory number has been reached), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the first reserved memory number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit value has not been reached), the main control CPU 30a acquires various random number values related to the first variable game, and stores the values in the main control RAM 30c. The obtained random number value is stored in a predetermined storage area. At this time, the random number values related to the first variation game, the random number value acquisition order in the first variation game, and the total acquisition order that does not distinguish each variation game are stored so as to be recognized. The main control CPU 30a, based on the storage contents of the main control RAM 30c (the number of random values that have not yet been used in the variable game), adds up the first hold memory number and each hold memory number. The number of memories can be specified. Then, when the stored contents of the main control RAM 30c are updated and the first reserved memory number changes, the main control CPU 30a controls the first hold display device 24 to display the updated first reserved memory number. . Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command for designating the first hold memory information such as the updated first hold memory number and the total hold memory number. Then, the special symbol input process is terminated.

  Further, when the determination result of the first hold determination is negative (when the ball does not enter the first start winning opening 14), the main control CPU 30a plays a game in the second start winning opening 15 or the third start winning opening 18. A second hold determination is performed to determine whether or not a ball has entered. That is, in the second hold determination, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the second detection signal output when the second start sensor SE2 or the third start sensor SE3 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative (when the ball is entered), the main control CPU 30a specifies the second hold storage number based on the stored contents of the main control RAM 30c, and specifies the specified second hold storage number. Is determined to be less than the upper limit value (“4” in the present embodiment). When the determination result of the second reserved memory number determination is negative (when the upper limit value of the second reserved memory number has been reached), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  When the determination result of the second reserved memory number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit value has not been reached), the main control CPU 30a acquires various random number values related to the second variable game, and stores the predetermined values in the main control RAM 30c. The acquired random number value is stored in the storage area. At this time, the random number values related to the second variable game, the random number acquisition order in the second variable game, and the total acquisition order that does not distinguish each variable game are stored so that they can be recognized. Note that the main control CPU 30a, based on the storage contents of the main control RAM 30c (the number of random values that have not yet been used in the variable game), adds together the second reserved memory number and each reserved memory number. The number of memories can be specified. Then, when the stored contents of the main control RAM 30c are updated and the second reserved memory number changes, the main control CPU 30a controls the second reserved display device 25 to display the updated second reserved memory number. . Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command for designating second hold storage information such as the updated second hold memory number and the total hold memory number. Then, the special symbol input process is terminated.

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

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a, when the number of reserved memories does not reach the upper limit value, the first reserved memory information regardless of whether it is the first reserved memory information or the second reserved memory information. The random number value is stored so that the total acquisition order combining the stored number and the second reserved stored number can be specified. That is, the main control CPU 30a stores random numbers so that the order in which the game balls are won can be specified in the start winning ports 14, 15, 18 when the number of reserved memories has not reached the upper limit. It becomes. In this way, the main control CPU 30a that acquires various random number values functions as a random number acquisition unit.

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

  When each of the number of reserved memories is “0”, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result is affirmative (if any of the stored storage numbers> 0), the main control CPU 30a determines whether the random value with the earliest total acquisition order is the random value in the first variation game or not. It is determined whether it is a random number value in a variable game. When the random number value with the earliest total acquisition order is the random value in the first variation game, the main control CPU 30a determines that the execution condition for the first variation game is satisfied, and stores the predetermined value in the main control RAM 30c. A value indicating that the first variation game is to be executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag stored in the area. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines that the execution condition of the second variation game is satisfied when the random number value with the earlier overall acquisition order is the random value in the second variation game, and determines a predetermined value in the main control RAM 30c. A value indicating that the second variation game is to be executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag stored in the storage area. As described above, in this embodiment, each variation game is executed in accordance with the order of entering the game balls into the respective start winning openings 14, 15, and 18.

  Next, when a value indicating that the first variation game is to be executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag, the main control CPU 30a uses the random value related to the first variation game as the random value with the earliest overall acquisition order. Yes, the random number values (random numbers for hit determination, random numbers for fall determination, random numbers for fluctuation pattern distribution, and random numbers for special symbol distribution) are read out. Further, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the specified first reserved memory number and the total reserved memory number, and changes the display content of the first hold display device 24 so as to represent the first reserved memory number. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command indicating first hold storage information such as the updated first hold memory number and the total hold memory number.

  The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the read fall determination random number matches the fall determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b, and performs a fall determination (falling lottery). When the determination result of the fall determination is affirmative (when the fall lottery is won), the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the probability variation state is not given to the main probability variation flag. Then, the main control CPU 30a outputs a probability change end command indicating that the provision of the probability change state has ended to the effect control CPU 31a. On the other hand, when the determination result of the fall determination is negative (when the fall lottery is not won), the main control CPU 30a does not update the main probability change flag or output the probability change end command. If the winning lottery is won when the probability variation state is given, the probability variation state is not given from the current variation game. Further, even if the falling lottery is won when the probability variation state is not given, the current gaming state is not changed, and the main control CPU 30a does not update the main probability variation flag or output the probability variation end command. In this way, the main control CPU 30a that can be controlled from the probability variation state to the non-probability variation state functions as the low probability control means based on the value of the fall determination random number, triggered by the start of the variation game.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the read random number for hit determination matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b, and performs a big hit determination (big hit lottery). When the probability variation state is given, the determination is made with the high probability jackpot determination value (that is, the winning is made with high probability). When the probability variation state is not given, the determination is made with the low probability big hit determination value. In addition, when the probability variation state is given in the pre-processing but the winning lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a specifies that the certain variation state is not imparted from this processing. In this way, the main control CPU 30a that determines whether or not the big hit is made based on the value of the random number for hit determination functions as a big hit determination means, triggered by the start of the variable game.

  When the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (in the case of a jackpot), the main control CPU 30a determines the type of jackpot based on the acquired special symbol distribution random number value, and from among the jackpot symbols by the special symbol A final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed by the first special symbol display device 11 (second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variation game) is determined. As described above, when it is determined that a big win is triggered by the start of the variable game, the main control CPU 30a that determines the type of the big hit based on the extracted special symbol distribution random number functions as the big hit type determining means. To do. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the big hit variation pattern based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random number.

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

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern and instructing the start of symbol variation. The change pattern designation command also instructs information about which of the first change game and the second change game is executed. The main control CPU 30a outputs a variation pattern designation command and controls the display content of the first special symbol display device 11 (second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variation game) so as to start variation of the special diagram. To do. Further, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the variable game. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the type of the final stop symbol. When the final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol, the type of jackpot can be specified. Therefore, the special symbol designation command is also a jackpot type designation command for designating the type of jackpot. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

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

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (when the big hit determination is not), the main control CPU 30a performs a reach determination for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the reach determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 30c matches the reach determination value.

  When the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative (when the reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 30a displays the lost symbol in the first special symbol display device 11 (second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variation game). To determine the final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the outlier reach variation patterns based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random number value.

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

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

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

  Next, when a value indicating that the second variation game is to be executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag, the main control CPU 30a uses the random number value with the earliest total acquisition order as the random value related to the second variation game. Yes, the random number values (random numbers for hit determination, random numbers for fluctuation pattern distribution, and values for random numbers for special symbol distribution) are read out. Further, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the specified second reserved memory number and the total reserved memory number, and changes the display content of the second reserved display device 25 so as to represent the second reserved memory number. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command indicating the second hold storage information such as the updated second hold memory number and the total hold memory number.

Hereinafter, processing related to the second variation game is executed based on the acquired random number, but since it is the same as the processing in the first variation game, detailed description is omitted.
By executing such a special symbol start process, when a random number value related to the variation game is stored, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the random number value associated with the first variation game or the random variation value associated with the second variation game. Regardless of whether it is a numerical value, it is determined whether or not the variable game is a big hit in the order of the overall acquisition order, and the variable game is executed.

  When the main control CPU 30a determines the jackpot, after the end of the variation game based on the determined variation pattern, the main control CPU 30a starts controlling the jackpot game based on the type of jackpot identified based on the final stop symbol, and the effect control board A predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to 31 (production control CPU 31a).

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a starts setting the opening time. Further, the main control CPU 30 a outputs an opening command for instructing that the opening time has started to the effect control board 31. Next, the main control CPU 30a controls each round game after the opening time ends. That is, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round designation command for instructing the start of the round game to the effect control board 31 at the start of each round game. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the opening and closing of the special winning opening 21 for each round game. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls the round game until the upper limit number of game balls are won or until a prescribed time predetermined for each round game elapses. Is controlled to open the special winning opening 21 a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, once).

  Then, when the round game ends, the main control CPU 30a maintains the closure until a round interval time determined in advance for each round game elapses. A series of these controls is executed until the specified number of rounds is reached. When starting a round game, the main control CPU 30 a outputs a round designation command that can specify the number of rounds of the round game to be started to the effect control board 31.

  When the round game for the specified number of rounds ends and the round interval time further elapses, the main control CPU 30a starts setting the ending time. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command for instructing that the ending time has started to the effect control board 31. When the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a ends the big hit game.

  In particular, the main control CPU 30a performs control for opening the big winning opening 21 in the same opening manner regardless of whether the type of big hit is big hits B to E, b, or e. For this reason, the type of jackpot (particularly, jackpots B to E, b, e) cannot be specified from the opening mode of the jackpot 21 during the jackpot game.

  When the big hit game is ended, the main control CPU 30a sets the probability change state to the main probability change flag in order to give a probability change state regardless of the type of special symbol (final stop symbol) that becomes the big hit symbol (that is, the type of jackpot). A value indicating that is assigned is set. In this way, the main control CPU 30a that controls the state to be prone to change after the big hit game ends functions as a high probability control means. The main control CPU 30a temporarily resets the value of the main probability change flag when the big hit game is awarded.

  In addition, when the big hit game is ended, the main control CPU 30a specifies whether or not to give the easy entry state based on the type of special symbol (final stop symbol) that becomes the big hit symbol (that is, the type of big hit) To do. When providing the easy entry state, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the easy entry state is assigned to the main operation flag. Further, the main control CPU 30a specifies the number of times that the easy entry state is given, and sets the value in the main operation number flag.

  The main operation number flag is decremented by “1” every time the variable game is executed. When the easy entry state that is not 100 times is given, when the main operation number flag becomes “0”, the main control CPU 30a resets the value of the main operation flag. In addition, when the easy-to-enter state that is confirmed 100 times is given, the main operation number flag is “0”, and when the main probability change flag is set to a value indicating that the probability change state is not given, The control CPU 30a resets the value of the main operation flag. On the other hand, when the easy-to-enter state that is confirmed 100 times is given, the main operation number flag is “0”, and when the value indicating that the probability variation state is imparted is set to the main probability variation flag, The control CPU 30a does not reset the value of the main operation flag. The main control CPU 30a temporarily resets the values of the main operation flag and the main operation number flag when the big hit game is awarded. As described above, in this embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that controls the easy entry state, such as whether or not to provide the easy entry state and the number of times that the easy entry state is provided, functions as a state control unit. .

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

  For example, when the effect control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command and a special symbol designation command, the effect display device is based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. The combination of symbols by the decorative symbols to be stopped and displayed at 13 is determined.

  That is, the effect control CPU 31a determines the jackpot symbol combination when the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is an outlier design and the outlier reach variation pattern is designated, the effect control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the outlier reach. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a missing symbol and the deviation variation pattern is designated, the effect control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination of deviation.

  Then, when the variation control designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the representation display device 13 to execute the variation game based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. When the variation pattern designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the speaker SP and the decoration lamp LA so that the variation game is executed based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. Thereafter, when the all-design stop command is input, the effect control CPU 31a ends the variable game and displays the determined symbol combination.

  In particular, when the big hit variation pattern is input, the production control CPU 31a executes the production in the same production mode regardless of the type of big hit. For this reason, the type of jackpot (particularly, jackpots B to E, b, e) cannot be specified from the effect mode of the variable game that is jackpot.

  In addition, when the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is a big hit variation pattern or a loss reach variation pattern, the effect control CPU 31a executes the normal variation effect from the start of the variation game. Then, the effect control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 13 to execute the reach effect when a predetermined time (for example, 12 s) has elapsed since the start of the variable game. On the other hand, the effect control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 13 to execute the normal variation effect from the start of the variation game when the variation pattern is designated by the variation pattern designation command. In this case, the reach effect is not executed. In this way, the effect control CPU 31a is capable of executing the reach effect after the specified time has elapsed since the start of the change game while the change game is being executed. The effect control CPU 31a that executes such processing functions as effect control means.

  In addition, when the jackpot symbol is designated as the final stop symbol, the effect control CPU 31a specifies that the probability variation state is given to the final stop symbol regardless of (the type of jackpot). When the probability change state is given, after the big hit game is ended, the effect control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the probability change state is given to the sub-probability change flag. When the big hit game is started, the sub-probability change flag is once reset. On the other hand, the effect control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the probability variation state is not given to the sub-probability variation flag based on the input of the probability variation end command.

  In addition, when a jackpot symbol is designated as the final stop symbol, whether or not the easy entry state is given and the number of times of granting are specified based on the specified type of jackpot. When the easy-to-enter state is given, the effect control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the easy-to-enter state is given to the sub-change flag. Further, when the easy entry state is given, the effect control CPU 31a sets the number of operations according to the type of jackpot to the value of the sub operation number flag. When the variation pattern designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a subtracts “1” from the value of the sub-actuation frequency flag. When the easy entry state that is not confirmed 100 times is given, the effect control CPU 31a resets the sub change flag when the value of the sub operation number flag becomes “0”. Further, when the easy entry state determined 100 times is given, the value of the secondary operation number flag becomes “0”, and when the value indicating that the probability change state is not given to the secondary probability change flag is set, The effect control CPU 31a resets the sub-change flag. When the big hit game is started, the sub variable flag is temporarily reset.

  In addition, when the opening command, the round designation command, and the ending command are input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 13 to execute the effect corresponding to the command. In particular, the CPU 31a for effect control executes the effect in the same effect mode regardless of whether the type of jackpot is one of the jackpots B to E, b, or e. For this reason, the type of jackpot (particularly, jackpots B to E, b, e) cannot be specified from the effect mode during the jackpot game.

  In the present embodiment, the production mode can be shifted with the main condition being after the end of each jackpot game. The effect mode indicates whether or not the easy entering state is given, and the number of times of changing games to which the easy entering state is given. The effect mode corresponds to the type of the background image of the effect display device 13 in the variable game, and can be easily recognized by the player from the background image. In addition, the effect mode can be executed over a plurality of continuous variation games. As described above, the effect mode can be specified by displaying the background image, and suggests the degree of expectation of the benefit to the player by suggesting the number of times that the variable game to which the entering easy state is given.

Here, such an effect mode will be described below with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, this embodiment has a plurality of types of effect modes. The plurality of types of effect modes are roughly classified into three types: a normal effect mode, a first easy entry effect mode, and a second easy entry effect mode. Furthermore, one production mode MA is used for the normal production mode, one production mode MB is used for the first easy entry production mode, and one production mode MC is used for the second easy entry production mode. include.

  The production mode MA is a production mode when the easy entry state is not given, and the production modes MB and MC are production modes when the easy entry state is given. In particular, the effect mode MB is an effect mode indicating that the easy entry state that is not 100 times confirmed is provided, and the effect mode MC is an effect mode indicating that the easy entry state is confirmed 100 times. It is. In addition, each production mode MA-MC can stay in both the case where the probability variation state is provided and the case where it is not provided. As described above, when the easy entry state is given, the player stays in the effect modes MB and MC. However, staying in the effect mode MC is more advantageous for the player than staying in the effect mode MB. .

  As described above, the production modes in the present embodiment include a non-entry easy state, a case where an easy-to-enter state that is not fixed 100 times after the end of the big hit game, and 100 after the end of the big hit game. It is different depending on the case where the easy-to-enter state of entry is given. In addition, in the effect mode MB, a background image in a mode corresponding to the effect mode MB is displayed regardless of whether the number of times the entry easy state is given is 4, 8, or 16. From the background image, it is difficult for the player to recognize the upper limit number of times that the variable game with the easy entry state is given.

Next, with reference to FIG. 7, the transition transition of various production modes accompanying the progress of the game will be described. Moreover, in FIG. 7, in order to classify | categorize several production modes, it has shown using the broken line.
As shown in FIG. 7, when the entrance easy state is not given, the player stays in the effect mode MA. On the other hand, when the easy entry state is given, the player stays in the production modes MB and MC. Then, when various types of jackpots are won, after the jackpot game based on the jackpot is over, the effect mode can be shifted along with the start of the first variable game.

When staying in the production modes MB and MC in the easy entry state, the player stays in the production mode MC regardless of which jackpot is won.
When staying in the production mode MA in the non-entrance easy state, the player moves to the production mode MC when the big hit is A or a regardless of whether or not the probability variation state is given.

  When staying in the production mode MA in the non-entrance easy state, regardless of whether or not the probability variation state is imparted, when the big hit B, C, b, c, or when the probability variation state is not imparted When the big hit D, d is reached, the production mode MB is entered.

  When staying in the production mode MA in the non-entrance easy state, when the probable state is given, the big hit D, d, the big hit E, e regardless of whether the probable state is given or not. When it becomes, it will come to stay in production mode MA.

  In the effect modes MB and MC, when the easy-to-enter state ends after the end of the big hit game, the effect mode MA is shifted to at the start of the next variable game. As described above, when the easy entry state is given, the player stays in the production modes MB and MC, and when the easy entry state is finished, the game moves to the production mode MA along with the execution of the variable game. Become.

Here, the control related to the effect mode executed by the effect control CPU 31a will be described.
When the opening command is input, the effect control CPU 31a specifies the type of jackpot based on the special symbol designation command in the variable game won in the jackpot lottery. In addition, the effect control CPU 31a identifies the gaming state in the variable game won in the big hit lottery based on the sub-probability change flag and the sub-action flag. Based on the identified result, the effect control CPU 31a sets data indicating the effect mode to be shifted to after the end of the big hit game in the effect mode flag assigned to the effect control RAM 31c. This effect mode flag is a flag indicating the effect mode in which the user stays.

  Thereafter, the effect control CPU 31a reads the value from the effect mode flag in the effect control RAM 31c at the start of the variable game immediately after the end of the big hit game, specifies the effect mode, and various background images corresponding to the effect mode. The effect display device 13 is controlled to display an image.

  Next, the changing game start effect mode control process executed by the effect control CPU 31a will be described below. The change mode start effect mode control process is a process for performing a change control of the effect mode at the start of the change game. The effect control CPU 31a is configured to execute a change mode start effect mode control process in response to an input of a change pattern designation command from the main control CPU 30a.

  When the variation pattern designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a reads a value from the effect mode flag assigned to the effect control RAM 31c, and specifies the effect mode in which the user is staying based on the value. Then, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the easy entry state is finished based on the sub-operation flag. When it is determined that the provision of the easy entry state is finished, the effect control CPU 31a sets the data indicating the effect mode MA in the effect mode flag and displays various images such as a background image corresponding to the effect mode MA. Thus, the effect display device 13 is controlled. In this way, the effect control CPU 31a that controls the effect mode functions as effect mode control means.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the execution of the variable game by the start winning of the game ball is put on hold, the big hit expectation degree of the variable game from various random numbers stored corresponding to the start hold ball by the start winning In addition, a pre-determination effect (pre-notice effect) indicating the degree of expectation of jackpot can be executed based on the result of the prior determination.

  In the present embodiment, a prefetch effect that darkens the background image is executed based on the result of the prior determination. This pre-reading effect is executed in an effect mode in which it is not possible to specify which of the floating games that are suspended for execution based on the result of the prior determination.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 8, the prefetch command setting process executed by the main control CPU 30a will be described. This prefetch command setting process is a process of setting a prefetch command as information specified by the result of referring to various random numbers. In addition, the prefetch command setting process is executed immediately after the special symbol input process is finished, triggered by the winning of a game ball to each start winning port 14, 15, 18 in a state where the number of reserved memories is not the upper limit. This pre-read command setting process corresponds to whether or not the various random numbers acquired in the special symbol input process with the winnings at the respective start winning openings 14, 15, and 18 match a predetermined determination value. This is a process of determining (in advance) the execution of the symbol variation game.

  First, as shown in FIG. 8, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the restriction condition is satisfied, for example, when the number of reserved memories is the upper limit value or when a big hit game is being played (step S101). . If the determination result is affirmative (the restriction condition is satisfied), the main control CPU 30a ends the prefetch command setting process without executing steps S102 and S103. If this determination result is negative (regulation conditions are not satisfied), the main control CPU 30a proceeds to step S102.

  In step S102, the main control CPU 30a refers to various random numbers corresponding to the reserved storage number. Then, the main control CPU 30a sets a prefetch command in the main control RAM 30c based on the reference result (step S103), and ends the prefetch command setting process.

  More specifically, the main control CPU 30a is the type of the variation game to be executed (the first variation game or the second variation game) triggered by the winning of the game ball at each start winning opening 14, 15, 18 ) And the total number of pending storage.

Further, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the fall determination random number stored corresponding to the reserved storage number, and specifies whether or not the fall determination random number matches the fall determination value.
Further, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the hit determination random number stored in correspondence with the number of reserved memories, and specifies whether or not the value of the hit determination random number matches the jackpot determination value. In particular, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the read hit determination random number value matches the common jackpot determination value among the jackpot determination values, or matches the high probability dedicated jackpot determination value, or matches the jackpot determination value. Specify whether or not. That is, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the value of the hit determination random number matches the jackpot determination value regardless of whether or not it is in the probability change state, or matches the jackpot determination value only when the probability change state. Regardless of whether it is in a state or not, it is specified whether it does not coincide with the jackpot determination value.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the special symbol distribution random number stored corresponding to the number of reserved memories, and specifies the type of jackpot when the jackpot is reached based on the read value.

  In addition, the main control CPU 30a reads the reach determination random number value stored in correspondence with the reserved storage number, and whether or not the reach state is formed in the case of a loss based on the read value. Specify whether or not. In the present embodiment, since the same reach determination value is defined regardless of the number of reserved memories, it is not a configuration in which it is not determined whether or not the reach state is formed until the execution of the variable game is started. .

  Then, the main control CPU 30a determines a prefetch command corresponding to the result specified in this way. Specifically, as a look-ahead command, the type of variable game to be executed, the total number of stored pending games, whether to win a falling lottery, whether to win a big hit lottery according to whether or not it is in a promiscuous state, This is a command that can specify the type of jackpot in the case of a big hit, and whether or not the reach state is formed in the case of a loss.

  In other words, when a game ball is won at each start winning opening 14, 15, 18 as an opportunity, before the start of the variable game based on the prize, various random numbers acquired with the winning as an opportunity are referred to in advance. The prefetch command that can identify the result is determined. Then, by such a prefetch command, the type of the variable game to be executed, the current total number of pending storage, whether to fall, whether to hit a big hit, whether to make a big hit, whether or not the reach reach fluctuation It becomes possible to specify.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the prefetch command setting process, the main control CPU 30a outputs the prefetch command set in the main control RAM 30c in step S103 to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. . In the present embodiment, when a prefetch command is output, a hold designation command is output before that.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 9, the prefetch effect determination process executed by the effect control CPU 31a will be described. This pre-reading effect determination process is a process for controlling the pre-reading effect in response to the start winning of the game ball. The effect control CPU 31a is configured to execute this process at predetermined intervals.

  First, as shown in FIG. 9, the CPU 31a for effect control determines whether or not a prefetch command and a hold designation command are input (step S201). When the determination result is negative (the prefetch command and the hold designation command have not been input), the effect control CPU 31a ends the prefetch effect determination process. On the other hand, if the determination result is affirmative (the prefetch command and the hold designation command are input), the effect control CPU 31a specifies the number of hold memories from the prefetch command, and prefetches corresponding to the hold memory number. The command is stored, and the process proceeds to step S202. In particular, the CPU 31a for effect control specifies the number of reserved memories and the total number of reserved memories by the pre-read command, so the input order of pre-read commands for each variable game and the total input of the pre-read commands for each variable game The order can be specified.

  In step S202, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not a restriction condition is satisfied. When the determination result is affirmative (the restriction condition is satisfied), the effect control CPU 31a ends the prefetch effect determination process. If this determination result is negative (regulation conditions are not satisfied), the effect control CPU 31a proceeds to step S203.

  As an example of the restriction condition in the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a reads the value from the prefetch flag assigned to the effect control RAM 31c, and determines that the prefetch effect is being executed. It is determined that the condition is satisfied. This prefetch flag is information indicating whether or not a prefetch effect is being executed.

  In step S203, the effect control CPU 31a executes prefetch effect lottery processing for determining whether or not to execute the prefetch effect with a predetermined probability based on the input prefetch command. In this way, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the prefetch effect based on the prefetch command. The effect control CPU 31a that executes such processing functions as a prior notice effect determining means.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the prefetch effect lottery is won (step S204). When this determination result is negative (not won in the prefetch effect lottery), the effect control CPU 31a ends the prefetch effect determination process without executing step S205. On the other hand, when the determination result is affirmative (winning in the prefetch effect lottery), the effect control CPU 31a produces information indicating a determination result such as information indicating execution timing of the prefetch effect or execution timing of the prefetch effect. The control RAM 31c is set (step S205). In addition, when the prefetch effect is executed, the effect control CPU 31a sets the prefetch flag to be valid and ends the prefetch effect determination process because the prefetch effect is being executed. The effect control CPU 31a sets the prefetch flag to be invalid when execution of the prefetch effect is completed.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the prefetch effect determination process, the effect control CPU 31a performs control for causing the effect display device 13 to display an image for executing the prefetch effect based on the information related to the prefetch effect. In this way, the effect control CPU 31a for executing the prefetch effect functions as effect control means.

  In the present embodiment, the precondition effect is being executed as an example of the restriction condition in step S202. However, in addition to this, it is established according to the progress of the game state in the variable game for which execution is suspended. There is a case.

  Specifically, when a prefetch command is input, if it is determined that the input prefetch command is not a big hit, the regulation condition is satisfied. In addition, even when the input prefetch command is determined to be a big hit, all of the prefetch commands corresponding to the variable game that have been input before and are still pending are regarded as a big hit. Even if it is specified that it is not, the regulation condition is satisfied. In other words, when it is specified that a big hit is not made more than once among the prefetch commands (including the input prefetch command) corresponding to the floating game for which execution is suspended, the restriction condition is satisfied and the execution of the prefetch effect is restricted. The Rukoto.

  In addition, if the prefetch command entered is a big hit, but it is specified by multiple prefetch commands when a big hit is selected among the prefetch commands corresponding to the variable games that have been entered before and are still pending execution, The condition is met. That is, even when it is specified that the big hit is 3 or more out of the prefetch commands (including the prefetch command that has been input) corresponding to the floating game for which execution is suspended, the restriction condition is satisfied and the prefetch effect is executed. It will be regulated.

  In addition, it is when the prefetch command that has been input is a big hit, and it is identified that any one of the prefetch commands that have been input before that and corresponding to the variable game that is still pending is a big hit. However, the regulation condition may be satisfied.

  Specifically, in the case where it is specified that the jackpot is twice based on the prefetch command (including the prefetch command that has been input) corresponding to the floating game for which execution is suspended, the first jackpot in time series ( When the first game is a variable game that is not in the non-entry easy state, the restriction condition is satisfied. In addition, the restriction condition is also satisfied when the easy-to-enter state of 100 hits is given after the big hit game based on the first big hit. In addition, the restriction condition is also satisfied when the easy-entry state that is confirmed 100 times is not given after the end of the big hit game based on the second big hit (next big hit) in chronological order. In other words, it is in a non-entry easy state in the first big hit game, and after the big hit game based on the first big hit game is not given, it is not given 100 easy enter easy state, but based on the second big hit. If the easy-to-enter state is confirmed 100 times after the end of the big hit game, the regulation condition is not satisfied.

  Regarding the progress of the gaming state in the variation game for which execution is suspended, the effect control CPU 31a performs a prefetch command (including the input prefetch command) corresponding to the variation game for which execution is still suspended, It can be specified by referring to the game state.

  Specifically, when the prefetch command is input, the effect control CPU 31a specifies whether the input prefetch command is a big hit. When it is determined that the input prefetch command is a big hit, the effect control CPU 31a specifies the current gaming state from the value of the sub-probability change flag and the value of the sub-operation flag. The effect control CPU 31a specifies whether or not the running variation game is a big hit based on the inputted variation pattern designation command. The effect control CPU 31a specifies the type of jackpot when the running variable game is a jackpot based on the input special symbol designation command. The CPU 31a for effect control specifies whether or not the easy entry state is finished in the next variation game from the value of the sub-operation count flag. Further, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the provision of the probable change state is ended by winning the falling lottery in the next variation game based on the pre-read command having the total pending storage number “1”. The effect control CPU 31a specifies the gaming state and effect mode in the next variable game based on these specifying results.

  Next, the effect control CPU 31a specifies the gaming state in the variable game having the total pending storage number “1”. The effect control CPU 31a specifies the type of jackpot when the pre-read command having the total pending storage number “1” is a jackpot or a jackpot. The CPU 31a for effect control specifies whether or not the easy entry state has been given in the variable game having the total number of pending storages “2” from the value of the sub-operation count flag. In addition, the effect control CPU 31a wins the falling lottery in the variable game with the total pending storage number “2” based on the pre-read command having the total pending storage number “2”, and the provision of the probability change state is ended. Identify what to do. The effect control CPU 31a specifies the gaming state or effect mode in the variable game with the total number of pending storages “2” based on these specifying results.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a repeatedly performs the above-described processing in time-series order until the variable game corresponding to the input prefetch command, and specifies the gaming state and effect mode for the variable game for which execution is suspended. Then, it is determined whether or not the regulation condition is satisfied.

  In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a specifies the game state of the variable game corresponding to the pre-read command, and if it is in the probabilistic state, the value of the random number for hit determination is a common jackpot determination value or high probability. When it coincides with the dedicated jackpot determination value, it is determined that the jackpot is based on the prefetch command. On the other hand, if the CPU 31a for effect control is not in a probable variation state, it determines that a big hit is made based on the prefetch command when the value of the random number for hit determination matches the common big hit determination value. In other words, the effect control CPU 31a determines the probability of hitting in a variable game whose execution is suspended based on a prefetch command that can specify whether the value of the random number for hit determination and the random number for fall determination match a predetermined determination value. Specifies whether has a low or high probability. Then, the effect control CPU 31a specifies that the variable game whose execution is suspended becomes a big hit when the value of the random number for hit determination matches the big hit determination value corresponding to the specified result.

  In addition, for example, the effect control CPU 31a determines that when the value of the random number for hit determination matches the common jackpot determination value regardless of whether or not the variable game corresponding to the pre-read command is in a probabilistic state, based on the pre-read command. May be identified as a big hit. In this case, the effect control CPU 31a does not have to specify that the big hit is based on the prefetch command when the value of the random number for hit determination matches the big probability determination value dedicated to high probability. In other words, the effect control CPU 31a, when the value of the hit determination random number matches the low-probability jackpot determination value based on the prefetch command that can specify whether the value of the hit determination random number matches the common jackpot determination value In addition, it may be specified that a variable game whose execution is suspended is a big hit.

  Here, with reference to FIG.10 and FIG.11, the specific example of the regulation conditions which regulate execution of a prefetch effect is demonstrated in detail. In this case, it is assumed that a pre-read command having the total pending storage number “7” and the total pending storage number “8” is input when the variable game is being executed. Also, in this case, in order to facilitate understanding of the invention, it will be described as being a big win in the first variation game, regardless of whether the first variation game is a big hit or the second variation game.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (a), in the specific example 1, in the variation game being executed, the variation pattern designation command is in the non-entry easy state and the non-probability variation state, staying in the production mode MA, and deviating. Is entered.

  The effect control CPU 31a keeps the non-entry easy state and the non-probable change state and stays in the effect mode MA in the change game in which the change game being executed is out of play and the total number of stored pending memories is “1”. The specified result is stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  Next, the effect control CPU 31a shifts between the non-entry easy state and the non-probable change state in the variable game having the total pending storage number “1” based on the pre-read command having the total pending storage number “1”. To be identified. Then, the CPU 31a for effect control specifies that the non-entry easy state and the non-probable change state are continued in the variable game having the total pending storage number “2”, and stays in the effect mode MA. Store in the effect control RAM 31c.

  In addition, the effect control CPU 31a, based on the pre-read command having the total pending storage number “2”, in the non-entry easy state and the non-probable variation state in the variable game having the total pending storage number “2”. To be identified. Then, the CPU 31a for effect control specifies that the non-entry easy state and the non-probable change state are continued in the variable game having the total number of reserved memories “3”, and stays in the effect mode MA, and the specified result is obtained. Store in the effect control RAM 31c.

  In addition, the effect control CPU 31a is a big hit B in the non-entry easy state and the non-probable change state in the variable game in which the total pending storage number is “3” based on the pre-read command whose total pending storage number is “3”. To be identified. Then, after the big hit game based on the big hit B is ended, the effect control CPU 31a is given a game easy state (16 times) that is not 100 times fixed in the variable game with the total number of reserved games being “4”. It is specified that the ball is in the easy ball state and the probable state, and the transition to the effect mode MB is specified, and the specified result is stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  Next, the effect control CPU 31a makes a difference between the easy-to-enter state and the probable change state in the variable game having the total pending storage number “4” based on the pre-read command having the total pending storage number “4”. Identify that. Then, the CPU 31a for effect control specifies that the easy entry state and the probability change state are continued in the variable game with the total reserved memory number “5”, stays in the effect mode MB, and the control result is specified as effect control. The data is stored in the RAM 31c.

  Similarly, the CPU 31a for effect control enters the ball in the variable game having the total number of reserved storages “5” to “7” based on the pre-read command whose total number of reserved storage is “5” to “7”. It is specified that there is a deviation in the easy state and the probability variation state. Then, the effect control CPU 31a specifies that the easy entry state and the probable change state are continued and the stay in the effect mode MB is specified in the variable game having the total number of reserved memories “6” to “8”, and the specification is made. The result is stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  In addition, the effect control CPU 31a becomes a big hit B in the easy-to-enter state and the probable variation state in the variable game having the total pending storage number “8” based on the prefetch command having the total pending storage number “8”. Identify that. Then, after the big hit game based on the big hit B is completed, the production control CPU 31a is given the easy entry easy state of 100 times in the next variable game, becomes the easy entry state and the probable change state, and enters the effect mode MC. The shift is specified, and the specified result is stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  In this way, the effect control CPU 31a identifies the progress of the game state in the variable game whose execution is suspended based on the current game state and the prefetch command. Then, the production control CPU 31a is in a non-entry easy state in the variable game that becomes the first big hit, and after the big hit game based on the first big hit is finished, an easy entry state that is not fixed 100 times is given, After the jackpot game based on the second jackpot is completed, it is specified that the easy entry state determined 100 times is given. Therefore, the effect control CPU 31a determines that the restriction condition is not satisfied, and executes the prefetch effect when the prefetch effect lottery is won.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 10B, as specific example 2, a case where the first big hit is big hit E as compared with specific example 1 will be described. Hereinafter, the description will be omitted when similar control is performed.

  The effect control CPU 31a becomes a big hit E in the non-entry easy state and the non-probable change state in the variable game where the total pending storage number is “3” based on the pre-read command whose total pending storage number is “3”. Identify that. Then, after the big hit game based on the big hit E is finished, the effect control CPU 31a does not give the easy entry state and enters the non-entry easy state and the probable change state in the variable game having the total number of reserved games “4”. Then, it is specified that the user is staying in the effect mode MA, and the specified result is stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  Similarly, the effect control CPU 31a does not enter the non-entry in the variable game having the total pending storage number “4” to “7” based on the prefetch command having the total pending storage number “4” to “7”.

Identify that. Then, after the big hit game based on the big hit B is completed, the production control CPU 31a is given the easy entry easy state of 100 times in the next variable game, becomes the easy entry state and the probable change state, and enters the effect mode MC. The shift is specified, and the specified result is stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  In this way, the effect control CPU 31a is in the non-entry easy state in the variable game that becomes the first big hit, and after entering the big hit game based on the first big hit, the easy entry state that is not confirmed 100 times is given. Then, after the big hit game based on the second big hit, it is specified that the easy entry state of 100 times is given. Therefore, the effect control CPU 31a determines that the restriction condition is not satisfied, and executes the prefetch effect when the prefetch effect lottery is won.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11 (d), as specific example 8, a case is described in which a non-entry easy state and a probable change state are being executed in a variable game being executed as compared to specific example 7.
The effect control CPU 31a specifies that the running game is out of play and the non-entry easy state and the probability change state are continued and the stay is in the effect mode MA in the change game having the total number of reserved games “1”. The specific result is stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  Next, the effect control CPU 31a performs non-entry in a variable game with the combined pending storage numbers “1” and “2” based on the pre-read command having the combined pending storage numbers “1” and “2”. It is specified that there is a deviation in the easy state and the probability variation state. Then, the effect control CPU 31a specifies that the non-entry easy state and the probability change state are continued and the stay in the effect mode MA is performed in the variable game having the total reserved memory numbers “2” and “3”. The specific result is stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  In addition, the effect control CPU 31a, based on the pre-read command having the total pending storage number “3”, determines the big hit C in the non-entry easy state and the probable variation state in the variable game having the total pending storage number “3”. To be identified. Then, after the big hit game based on the big hit C is ended, the effect control CPU 31a is given the easy entry state that is not fixed 100 times in the variable game with the total number of reserved memories being “4”. It is determined that the state is surely changed and the mode is shifted to the production mode MB, and the identification result is stored in the production control RAM 31c. In this case, the easy-to-enter state is given up to the upper limit of the four variation games, and the easy-to-enter state is not given from the fifth variation game.

  Similarly, the effect control CPU 31a enters the ball in the variable game with the total pending storage number “4” to “6” based on the pre-read command having the total pending storage number “4” to “6”. It is specified that there is a deviation in the easy state and the probability variation state. Then, the CPU 31a for effect control specifies that the easy entry state and the probable change state are continued and the stay in the effect mode MB is specified in the variable game having the total reserved memory number “5” to “7”. The result is stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  In addition, the effect control CPU 31a, based on the pre-read command with the total pending storage number “7”, in the variable game with the total pending storage number “7”, there is a difference between the easy-to-enter state and the probable variation state. Is identified. In addition, the effect control CPU 31a specifies that the easy entry state is to be ended after the end of the variable game with the total pending storage number “7” based on the sub-operation count flag. In this case, the effect control CPU 31a specifies that the game is in the non-entry easy state and the probability change state in the variable game having the total pending storage number “8”, and shifts to the effect mode MA. The data is stored in the RAM 31c.

  In addition, the effect control CPU 31a, based on the pre-read command with the total pending storage number “8”, determines the big hit B in the non-entry easy state and the probable variation state in the variable game with the total pending storage number “8”. To be identified. Then, after the big hit game based on the big hit B is finished, the production control CPU 31a is given the easy entry state that is not fixed 100 times in the next variable game, and enters the easy entry state and the probable change state. Is specified, and the specified result is stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  In this way, the effect control CPU 31a is in the non-entry easy state in the variable game that becomes the first big hit, and after the big hit game based on the first big hit, the easy entry state is given. It is determined that a non-entry easy state is entered in the floating game that is the first big hit, and that an easy-to-enter state that is not fixed 100 times is given after the big hit game based on the second big hit. Therefore, the effect control CPU 31a determines that the restriction condition is satisfied, and does not execute the prefetch effect.

  Note that in this case, if the variable game with the total pending storage number “4” is the first big hit and the variable game with the total pending memory number “8” is the second big hit, In the variable game with the number “8”, the easy entry state is continued, and the presentation control CPU 31a determines that the restriction condition is not satisfied. The same is true for the first big hit in the variable game with the total pending storage number “3” and the second big hit in the variable game with the total pending memory number “7”.

  In addition, comparing the specific examples 7 and 8, although the type of jackpot is the same, depending on whether or not the current game state is a probabilistic state, the easy-to-enter state that is granted after the end of the first jackpot game The number of times is different. In particular, there may be four times smaller than the upper limit number (the number of upper limit holdings) of the total pending storage number, and whether or not the game state of the variable game that becomes the second big hit is the easy entry state is different. Whether or not the condition is satisfied is different.

Here, with reference to FIG. 12, the execution timing of the prefetch effect will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 12A, the execution of the variable game is started at the timing indicated by reference numeral T11, and the execution of the variable game is ended at the timing indicated by reference numeral T15. In this variation game, the normal variation effect is executed from the timing indicated by symbol T11 to the timing indicated by symbol T13, and the reach effect is executed from the timing indicated by symbol T13 to the timing indicated by symbol T15.

  In this case, at the timing indicated by the reference symbol T12, when the pre-read command having the total pending storage number “8” is input during execution of the normal variation effect and execution of the pre-read effect is determined, the pre-read command When is input, execution of the pre-reading effect is started. Then, in the case of the first big hit in the variable game with the total pending storage number “3” and the second big hit in the variable game with the total pending memory number “8”, the timing indicated by reference numeral T16. The prefetching effect is executed until the first variable game that is a big hit is completed. Further, the pre-reading effect is not executed during the big hit game based on the first big hit or after the big hit game ends. In the present embodiment, the same control is performed when a prefetch command is input in a variable game in which no reach effect is executed and the prefetch effect is executed based on the prefetch command.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12B, at the timing indicated by reference numeral T14, during the execution of the reach effect, a prefetch command with the total pending storage number “8” is input, and execution of the prefetch effect is determined. In this case, as shown by reference numeral T15, the execution of the prefetch effect is started when the execution of the variable game with the total pending storage number “1” is started. Then, the pre-reading effect is executed until the first variation game that is a big hit at the timing indicated by T16 is completed. Further, the pre-reading effect is not executed during the big hit game based on the first big hit or after the big hit game ends.

  In this way, the effect control CPU 31a causes the prefetch effect to be executed until the first variable game that is a big hit is completed. In addition, in the variation game in which the reach effect is executed, the effect control CPU 31a determines the execution of the prefetch effect when the execution of the prefetch effect is determined before the specified time for starting the reach effect has elapsed. As a trigger, the pre-reading effect is executed. On the other hand, when the execution of the pre-reading effect is determined after the specified time has elapsed, the effect control CPU 31a causes the pre-reading effect to be executed in response to the start of the next execution of the variable game.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) By executing the pre-reading effect, it is possible to recognize that two of the variable games that have been suspended are big hits, and it is possible to raise the expectation for the two big hits. It is possible to improve the interest in games.

  (2) From the non-entry easy state triggered by the first big hit, the easy entry state that is not confirmed 100 times is given, and the second big hit is triggered not the 100th confirmed From the easy state, it becomes an easy-to-enter state that is confirmed 100 times. Thus, the expectation with respect to a state changing in steps can be heightened, and the improvement of the interest with respect to a game can be aimed at.

  (3) In particular, by performing the pre-reading effect, it is possible to enhance the expectation that the state will change to an advantageous state step by step with each jackpot, and to improve the interest in the game Can do.

  (4) The non-entrance easy state is continued with the first big hit as a trigger, and the final easy entry state 100 times is not given from the non-entry easy state with the second big hit as an opportunity. As a result, there is a case that the easy entry state of 100 times is not given. In this case, the prefetch effect is not executed, and the expectation for the execution of the prefetch effect is not reduced.

  (5) On the other hand, the non-entry easy state was continued with the first big hit as an opportunity, but the easy entry state with 100 times confirmed was given from the non-entry easy state with the second big hit as an opportunity. Thus, even if the state does not change stepwise, as a result, the easy entry state that is confirmed 100 times may be given. In this case, a pre-reading effect is executed. For this reason, when the pre-reading effect is executed, even if the non-entry easy state is continued with the first big hit as an opportunity, the expectation for being able to enter the easy-to-enter state of 100 times is enhanced. Can improve the interest of the game.

  (6) In addition, even after the end of the big hit game, even if the game is controlled to be easy to enter with 4 variable games as the upper limit, the easy entry state is continued without executing the 4 variable games. When the next jackpot is reached, the prefetch effect is executed, so that the expectation for the execution of the prefetch effect is not reduced.

  (7) With the first big hit, the game entered the easy-to-enter state with four variable games as the upper limit. However, when the four-variable game is executed by the second big hit and the non-entry easy state is entered. In some cases, the second big hit may not be the easy entry state that is confirmed 100 times from the non-entry easy state. In such a case, if the state does not change step by step, and if the result is not the easy entry state that is 100 times confirmed, the pre-reading effect is not executed, and the expectation for the execution of the pre-reading effect is reduced. There is no.

  (8) Although the state of the variable game that is the first big hit is the non-entry easy state, the number of times is smaller than the upper limit number of the total pending storage number based on whether or not it is the probability variation state, or the total pending memory The easy-to-enter state is given with the upper limit being a variable game that is equal to or greater than the upper limit number. For this reason, it can be made to be careful about whether it is a probable change state, and the interest to a game can be improved.

  (9) Whether the jackpot is determined or not is determined depending on whether the jackpot determination value corresponding to whether or not the probability variation state is met and the value of the random number for the hit determination match. In this case, the jackpot probability can be specified regardless of whether the jackpot probability is high or low, and if the value of the jackpot determination random number matches the jackpot determination value corresponding to the specified result, Can be specified, and the reliability of the prefetching effect can be improved.

  (10) On the other hand, regardless of whether or not it is in a probable variation state, whether or not a big hit is determined is determined depending on whether the low probability big hit determination value matches the value of the random number for hit determination. In this case, regardless of whether the big hit probability is high or low, it is possible to specify that the big hit determination random number value matches at least the low probability big hit determination value, and the control load can be specified. In addition to being able to reduce, it is possible to improve the reliability of the prefetching effect.

  (11) When winning big hits B to E and b to e in the non-entry easy state, the production mode of the variable game when winning, the production mode of the big hit game, the release mode of the big winning opening 21, and the big hit game It is not possible to specify which type of jackpot is won from the production mode after the end of. For this reason, attention can be paid to the gaming state, and the interest in gaming can be improved.

  (12) Conventionally, when the probability variation state is assigned, the degree of advantage is much higher than when the probability variation state is not imparted, leading to a decrease in interest in the game when the probability variation state is not imparted. There was a fear. Therefore, as the upper limit of the number of variable games to which the easy-to-enter state is granted, the big hit in the non-entry easy state and the non-probable change state is more important for the player than the big hit in the non-enter easy state and the probabilistic state. Controlled to be advantageous. For this reason, the advantageous degree with respect to not being provided with a probable state is compensated, and the decline of the interest with respect to a game can be suppressed.

  (13) In particular, when a falling lottery is performed, even if the falling lottery wins to change from a non-probable change state to a probable change state, winning the falling lottery with respect to the upper limit number of variable games to which the easy entry state is granted Will be compensated for. For this reason, while being able to provide the new game nature which can be made to be careful about a fall lottery, the decline of the interest with respect to a game can be suppressed.

In addition, the said embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above-described embodiment, the timing at which the pre-reading effect is started is varied depending on whether the pre-reading command is input before or after the specified time when the reach effect is started. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the normal reach effect and the super reach effect that develops from the normal reach effect can be executed as the reach effect, the specified time for starting the execution of the super reach effect may be used as a reference. Further, for example, a specified time at which execution of a specific effect other than the reach effect, such as a movable effect in which the movable member is displaced, may be a reference. Further, for example, it is not necessary to change the timing at which execution of the prefetch effect is started.

  In the above embodiment, the prefetch effect is not executed during the big hit game based on the first big hit or after the big hit game ends, but this is not limiting, for example, the prefetch effect is given during the big hit game based on the first big hit. Even if it is executed, the pre-reading effect may be executed until the start of the second big hit game. In addition, there may be a variation game in which the prefetching effect is not executed as long as the prefetching effect is executed at any timing before the big hit game based on the first big hitting game is started. May not be executed.

In the above-described embodiment, for example, the prefetch lottery may not be performed, and the prefetch effect may be executed whenever the regulation condition is not satisfied.
In the above embodiment, it is determined whether or not to execute the pre-reading effect in response to the input of the pre-read command, but not limited to this, for example, the stored pre-read command is triggered by the start of the variable game. Based on this, it may be determined whether or not to execute the prefetch effect.

  In the above-described embodiment, the restriction condition is satisfied when the input prefetch command is not specified as a big hit. However, the restriction condition is not limited to this. For example, the restriction condition may not be satisfied.

  In the above-described embodiment, for example, when a running variable game is a big hit, the restriction condition may not be satisfied. In this case, even if it is determined that the prefetch command corresponding to the variable game for which the execution is suspended is input and the prefetch command corresponding to the big hit is input, the regulation condition is not satisfied when the running variable game is a big hit. There may be cases. For example, it is preferable that the restriction condition may not be satisfied when a prefetch command is input during execution of the normal variation effect.

  In the above embodiment, for example, it does not matter whether or not the prefetch effect can be executed depending on whether or not the variation game that is a big hit among the prefetch commands corresponding to the variation game that is still suspended.

  In the above embodiment, for example, the restriction condition may not be satisfied when it is specified that the big hit is 3 or more times among the prefetch commands corresponding to the variable game that is still suspended. As a specific example, if the pre-fetch command corresponding to the variable game that is still pending is the third big hit, the first big hit and the second big hit will be the second big hit. The prescribed condition may be determined based on the prefetch commands up to. Further, for example, the prescribed condition may be determined based on a prefetch command until the third big hit, with the first big hit to the third big hit as a target.

  In the above embodiment, there is only one type of effect of the pre-reading effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, there may be a plurality of types of effect of the pre-reading effect. It is preferable to indicate the degree of advantage for the player, such as the degree of expectation and the degree of expectation of an advantageous state, by a plurality of types of effects.

  In the above embodiment, for example, when a prefetch command (including an input prefetch command) corresponding to a floating game whose execution is suspended, one prefetch command is a big hit, or all the prefetch commands are lost. In such a case, the pre-reading effect may be executable without the restriction condition being satisfied. In this case, among the prefetch commands (including the prefetch commands that have been input) corresponding to the floating game whose execution is suspended, the case where a plurality of prefetch commands is a big hit is more than the case where one prefetch command is a big hit. It is preferable that the prefetch effect is executed with a high probability. Further, for example, it is preferable that the prefetch effect is executed with a higher probability when one prefetch command is a big hit than when all prefetch commands are out of order. That is, the pre-reading effect in the above embodiment is an effect in which a plurality of big hits are determined among the variable games that are suspended, but is not limited to this, for example, the variation that is suspended. It may be an effect that suggests that the game will be a big hit.

  In the above embodiment, for example, another prefetch effect may be executable. As a specific example, a second prefetch effect that is different from the first prefetch effect in the embodiment may be executable. In this case, a restriction condition is defined for the second prefetch effect, and one prefetch command is a big hit among prefetch commands (including the input prefetch command) corresponding to the variable game for which execution is suspended. Alternatively, when all the prefetch commands are out of order, the prefetch effect may be executable without the restriction condition being satisfied.

  In the above embodiment, for example, when a hold image whose hold memory number is recognizable is displayed on the effect display device 13, execution is suspended such that the display mode of the hold image is displayed differently from the normal display mode. The pre-reading effect may be executed in an effect mode in which it is possible to specify which of the fluctuating games is targeted.

  -In the said embodiment, although the prefetch effect was performed using the effect display apparatus 13, it is not restricted to this, For example, the output mode of the sound from the speaker SP, the light emission mode by the decoration lamp LA, the movable mode of a movable body, Depending on the vibration mode of the vibrating body, the pre-reading effect may be executed, or a combination thereof may be used.

In the above embodiment, for example, two or less types or four or more types of effect modes may be controlled.
In the above embodiment, the sorting start unit SU that can be equally distributed to the first start winning opening 14 and the second starting winning opening 15 is adopted, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, non-uniform allocation is possible. It may be. Further, for example, it is not necessary to provide an accessory that is distributed to the first start winning opening 14 and the second starting winning opening 15.

  -In the said embodiment, it can change suitably about the kind of jackpot, for example, the jackpot to which the jackpot game which is a different regulation | regulation round number (for example, 8 rounds) compared with jackpot BE, b-e is given. May be defined. Further, for example, any one of the big hits A to E and a to e may not be defined. In addition, for example, as in the case of big hits B to D and b to d, it is easier for the player to hit the big hits in the non-entry easy state and the non-probable change state with respect to the upper limit number of variable games to which the easy entry state is given It may be more disadvantageous than a big hit in the state and the probability variation state, for example, the same degree of advantage may be possible. In addition, in the case where a big hit is made in the non-entrance easy state, the control content controlled after the end of the big hit game may be adopted, for example, when the big hit is made in the easy entry state. Good. In addition, when the big hit is in the easy-to-enter state, the control content that is controlled after the end of the big hit game is adopted, for example, when the big hit is in the non-entry easy state. Good.

  In the above embodiment, the variation game is executed in the order of the start winning prize regardless of each variation game. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the second variation game may be executed with priority over the first variation game. Each variable game may be controlled to be executable at the same time.

In the above embodiment, the first variation game and the second variation game can be executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, one type of variation game may be executed.
In the above embodiment, the falling lottery is performed in response to the start of the variable game. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the falling lottery may be performed in response to the end of the variable game. In this case, the result of the falling lottery is reflected from the big hit lottery in the next variable game. Further, for example, even if the falling lottery is performed regardless of whether or not it is in the probability variation state, the falling lottery may be performed only in the case of the probability variation state. In addition, for example, the winning probability of the falling lottery may be higher than the winning probability of the jackpot lottery in the non-probable change state, and may be higher than the winning probability of the jackpot lottery in the probability change state.

  In the above embodiment, the probability variation state is always given after the end of the big hit game, but not limited to this, for example, the probability variation state may not always be given after the end of the big hit game. For example, the falling lottery may not be performed.

  -In the above embodiment, there is a case where the easy entry state is not given after the big hit game is finished. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the easy entry state may be given after the big hit game is finished. .

  In the above embodiment, the non-entrance easy state is the first state, the easy entry state that is not 100 times confirmed is the second state, and the easy entry state that is 100 times confirmed is the third state. For example, the non-entering easy state and the uncertain change state may be the first state, the non-entrance easy state and the probable change state may be the second state, and the easy entry state and the probable change state may be the third state. In addition, for example, a first state in which the easy entry state is given with the first upper limit number of change games as an upper limit, and an easy entry state is given with a second upper limit number of change games larger than the first upper limit number as an upper limit. The second state may be controlled, and the third state in which the easy-to-enter state is given with the variable game having a third upper limit number larger than the second upper limit number as an upper limit. Further, for example, different rendering modes may be set as the first to third states regardless of the gaming state. As a specific example, a first effect mode with a low expectation level in which the upper limit number of the variable games to which the easy entry state is given is increased, a second effect mode with a higher expectation level than the first effect mode, and the expectation thereof There is a third effect mode whose degree is higher than that of the second effect mode, and each effect mode may be set to the first to third states. Further, for example, the first to third states may be in the same degree of advantage for the player. In other words, it is preferable that the state after the end of the big hit game can be changed with multiple hits as a trigger.

In the above embodiment, for example, control may be performed so that the provision of the probability variation state and the easy entry state is continued until the next big hit game is generated.
In the above embodiment, for example, the second variation game may be controlled to be more advantageous than the first variation game. For example, the first variation game is more advantageous than the second variation game. It may be controlled so as to be advantageous due to the big hit.

  In the above embodiment, for example, the easy entry state includes, for example, shortening the fluctuation time of the ordinary game, improving the lottery probability of the lottery per universal figure, increasing the total opening time of the opening and closing blades 20, and a fluctuation game with special symbols It is only necessary to include at least one of the shortening of the fluctuation time.

  In the above embodiment, various means are mainly functioned by the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the effect control board 31 may be provided with means in the main control board 30. The main control board 30 may be provided with means in the effect control board 31.
