Form to carry out

  First, the meaning of each term in this specification will be described. “Pitching” includes not only winning a prize ball to be paid out, but also passing to a “through chucker” without winning a prize ball. “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko game machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a random number in a narrow sense (for example, a hard- Random numbers and soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, the so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers (random numbers for success / failure lottery)” related to the transition of special games, and the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol "Variation mode determination random number" for determining, "symbol determination random number" for determining a stop symbol, "hit symbol determination random number" for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, etc. be able to. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. Also, in this specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of the number of random numbers or a plurality of random numbers, but one entry (for example, starting entrance) that triggers the acquisition of random numbers. The random number obtained by entering the ball is referred to as one (ie, in the above example, the random number bundle of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + design determining random number... Is referred to as one random number) . Further, for example, a kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). The “identification information” may be in any form as long as the type of information can be identified through the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.), but is preferably visual, for example, numbers, letters, designs. The thing with the shape of etc. can be mentioned. In this specification, “identification information” may be called a main game symbol / special symbol (special symbol) or a decorative symbol (design), but the “special symbol (special symbol)” is the main game part. It is identification information that is display-controlled on the (so-called main board) side, and “decorative design (drawing)” is identification information as an effect displayed on the sub-game unit (so-called sub board) side. “The identification information can be displayed” is not limited to the display method. For example, the light emission means (for example, liquid crystal, LED, 7-segment) emits light (not only the presence / absence of light emission, but also the color difference, lighting / flashing mode) And a physical display (for example, a symbol drawn on a reel band is stopped and displayed at a predetermined position). “Direction (information)” refers to all output contents that enhance the fun of the game whose output is controlled on the side of the sub-game unit (so-called sub-board). The output can be listed as moving images such as animation and live action, still images such as pictures, photos, characters, etc., and actions of moving objects for sound and effects. Embodiments or combinations thereof may be mentioned. “Game state” means, for example, a transition to a special game state rather than a non-stochastic game state in which a lottery probability for transition to a special game state or a special game state in which a special winning opening can be in an open state is a predetermined value. Probability variation game state with high lottery probability, assistance to winning a starting point that will be a lottery opportunity to shift to special games To a starting point that will be a lottery opportunity to shift to special games rather than an auxiliary gaming disadvantageous state that is disadvantageous for the player An auxiliary game advantageous state in which assistance for winning a prize is advantageous to the player (so-called normal symbol short-time state, for example, when the variable member is attached to the start port, the variable member is open for a long period of time. Any one or a plurality of combinations such as a high probability of winning, a short notification time as a result of the variable member opening lottery). "The specific game state in which easy-entry game is more likely to be executed than in the normal game state and normal game state" or "auxiliary game advantageous state in which easy-entry game is easier to execute than in the auxiliary game disadvantageous state and auxiliary game disadvantageous state" In the case of assuming a situation where the symbol variation of the auxiliary game symbol is continuously performed (for example, a situation where there is always a hold related to the auxiliary game symbol), the unit time of the variable member attached to the start port (for example, In terms of internal processing, in other words, based on the gaming state described above, for example, when a variable member is attached to the start port, The length of the opening period (so-called opening extension function operating state / non-operating state), the probability of winning the normal symbol (auxiliary game symbol) that triggers the opening of the variable member (so-called normal drawing high probability state) Realized by any combination of one or more such as low probability state), normal symbol (auxiliary game symbol) that is the trigger for opening the variable member, and long or short fluctuation time (so-called normal figure fluctuation shortening function inactive state / operating state) It is what is done.

  The following embodiment is a model in which a conventional first type pachinko gaming machine and a first type pachinko gaming machine are mixed (first type first type multifunction machine). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is applied to other gaming machines (for example, conventional type 1, type 2, type 3, general pachinko gaming machines such as general electric players and gaming machines in which they are mixed).

  Next, FIG. 5 is a main flowchart showing the flow of general processing performed by the main control board M. First, after the game machine is powered on, the process shown in FIG. That is, after turning on the power of the gaming machine, the initial setting is performed (not shown, but the register initialization, the input / output port setting, etc. are performed), and then in step 1002, the main control board M displays the RAM clear button Whether the reset button (RAM clear button) of the power supply unit E has been operated, that is, whether or not an operation of intentionally clearing the contents of the RAM has been performed by a game hall manager or the like. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 1002, in step 1004, the main control board M clears all the RAM contents (for example, information in the game state temporary storage means MB) on the main control board M side. Next, in step 1006, the information transmission control means MT transmits ram clear information (command) indicating that the RAM of the main control board M has been cleared to the sub main control unit SM side (even if it is transmitted at this timing). Alternatively, a command may be set at this timing and transmitted by a control command transmission process described later), and the process proceeds to step 1016. On the other hand, if No in step 1002, the main control board M checks the contents of the RAM area in the main control board M in step 1008 (for example, the checksum recorded at the time of power interruption and the RAM area are stored in the RAM area). Comparison with the amount of information). Next, in step 1010, the main control board M determines whether or not the contents of the RAM are not normal based on the check result (whether or not the information at the time of power interruption is accurately backed up in the RAM). If YES in step 1010, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is abnormal, the process proceeds to step 1004 (RAM clear process described above). On the other hand, if the data backed up to the RAM in Step 1010 is normal, that is, if the data backed up to the RAM is normal, the main control board M is stored in the RAM of the main control board M in Step 1012. The information command is acquired, and in step 1014, the acquired various information commands are transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side (the command may be transmitted at the timing, or the command is set at the timing and described later. It may be configured to transmit in the transmission process), and the process proceeds to step 1016. Next, in step 1016, the main control board M is triggered by a scheduled execution interrupt (for example, about every 1.5 ms) related to the main process on the main control board M side shown in FIG. However, in this example, the interrupt period is set to T) (as a result, when the execution scheduled interrupt timing is reached, (b) in FIG. 11 is executed), the process proceeds to step 1018. . After step 1018, the main control board M repeatedly executes various random number update processing (for example, random number counter increment processing) until the next scheduled interrupt timing is reached.

  Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. The main control board M executes the process shown in FIG. 5B based on the interrupt request generated when the scheduled interrupt timing is reached. That is, triggered by the arrival of the scheduled interrupt period T (for example, a hardware interrupt about every 1.5 ms), in step 1100, the main control board M executes an auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition process described later. Next, at step 1200, the main control board M executes an electric accessory driving determination process described later. Next, in step 1300, the main control board M executes a main game content determination random number acquisition process which will be described later. Next, in step 1400, the main control board M executes a main game symbol display process described later. Next, at step 1600, the main control board M executes a special game operation condition determination process described later. Next, in step 1700, the main control board M executes a special game control process described later. Next, in step 1997, the main control board M (especially the winning ball payout determining means MH) receives the winning ball payout control process (drive control of the winning ball payout device KE, etc.) based on the winning opening where the game ball has won. The payout control board KH is executed, and a process for managing the result is executed. Next, in step 1998, the main control board M executes an external signal output process (information output to the external terminal board, the hall computer HC, etc.). Next, in step 1999, the main control board M executes a control command transmission process (transmits the command set in each process described above to the sub-main control unit side), and is executed immediately before the execution of this interrupt process. Return to the process that was being performed.

  Next, NMI interrupt processing will be described. As described above, the main control board M is configured such that the power interruption signal from the reset IC is input to the NMI terminal of the CPU, and the processing of FIG. Is done. That is, when the gaming machine is powered off (in this example, when an NMI interrupt occurs), in step 1020, the main control board M sets power interruption information (for example, checksum) based on the information in the RAM area. Next, in step 1022, the main control board M prohibits writing to the RAM area, prohibits timer interrupt processing, and shifts to power-off waiting loop processing.

  Next, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1100 in FIG.

In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B refers to the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H, and the auxiliary game symbol changing flag is off. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the second main game start opening electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B accesses the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-H, and the hold ball related to the auxiliary game symbol is displayed. It is determined whether or not there is. In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1216, the auxiliary game symbol determining means MN41-H refers to the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H to determine the auxiliary game side game state (flag state of the auxiliary game short time flag). In addition to the acquisition, the auxiliary game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-H is referred to, and the stop symbol is determined based on the acquired auxiliary game side game state and the auxiliary game symbol random number based on the reserved ball (for example, auxiliary game) When the time flag is on, the winning symbol is selected with a higher probability than when it is off) and temporarily stored in the auxiliary game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-H.

  Here, the right side of the figure is an example of a lottery table for determining an auxiliary game stop symbol. As shown in the table, in this example, there are “D0, D1” as stop symbols and “D1” as a stop symbol that is a winning symbol. In the auxiliary game disadvantageous state (when the auxiliary game flag is off), the release mode is (0.2 seconds open → closed) in the auxiliary game disadvantageous state. Yes, in the auxiliary game advantageous state (when the auxiliary game flag is on), the release mode is (open for 4 seconds → closed). In addition, the stop symbol is likely to be a winning symbol “D1” when the auxiliary game is in an advantageous state (when the auxiliary game flag is on).

  Next, in step 1218, the auxiliary game variation mode determining means MN51-H determines the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer MP11t-H based on the auxiliary game side game state (the flag state of the auxiliary game short time flag). A predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds when the auxiliary game short flag is on, and 30 seconds when the auxiliary game short flag is off) is set. In step 1220, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H turns on the auxiliary game symbol changing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H. Next, in step 1222, the auxiliary game symbol holding means MJ32-H updates the hold information recorded in the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-H after subtracting 1 from the hold ball related to the auxiliary game symbol. At the same time, after the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H starts the auxiliary game symbol fluctuation management timer MP11t-H, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H starts the auxiliary game symbol change display on the auxiliary game symbol display portion H21g.

  Next, in step 1224, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H refers to the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer MP11t-H to determine whether or not a predetermined time related to the variation time of the auxiliary game symbol has been reached. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1224, in step 1226, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H refers to the auxiliary game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-H to acquire the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol, and the acquired auxiliary The stop symbol of the game symbol is confirmed and displayed on the auxiliary game symbol display portion H21g. Then, at step 1228, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H turns off the auxiliary game symbol changing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H. Next, in step 1230, the second main game start opening electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B determines whether or not the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol is a “hit symbol” (D1 in this example). To do. In the case of Yes in Step 1230, in Step 1232, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B is opened based on the game state (for example, in the case of time-reduced game, it is opened for 4 seconds. → Opening mode to be closed) is determined, and a predetermined time related to the opening time (opening and closing time) of the electric winnings is set in the second main game start opening electric winning combination releasing timer MP22t-B. Next, in step 1234, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B turns on the electric accessory releasing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H. . Then, in step 1236, the second main game start port electric combination opening / closing control means MP20-B opens the second main game start port electric combination B11d, and proceeds to step 1242.

  Next, in step 1242, the second main game start port electric player opening / closing control means MP20-B refers to the second main game start port electric player opening timer MP22t-B, and the second main game start port electric player opening / closing control means MP20-B. It is determined whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 4 seconds) related to the opening time of the accessory B11d has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1242, in step 1244 and step 1246, the second main game start port electric combination opening / closing control means MP20-B closes the second main game start port electric combination B11d and temporarily stops the auxiliary game state. The electric-operated article release flag in the flag area of the storage unit MB10-H is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1300).

  If NO in step 1202, the process proceeds to step 1242. If NO in step 1204, the process proceeds to step 1224. If NO in step 1206, step 1224, step 1230, or step 1242, the next process is performed. The process proceeds to (Step 1300).

  Further, in this flowchart, for the sake of convenience, after the stop symbol is displayed in step 1226, the process proceeds to the next step immediately, but the present invention is not limited to this. In that case, it may be configured to move to the next processing after a fixed stop display time of about 500 ms (for example, this processing is performed by performing branch processing using a stop display fixing flag and a timer). Achievable).

In the present embodiment, as the second main game content determination random number, a winning lottery random number for determining whether or not to win, a symbol lottery random number for determining a winning symbol, and a variation pattern (variation time) of a special symbol are determined. The three random numbers of the variation mode lottery random numbers to acquire are acquired. Incidentally, these three random numbers are generated from random number generation means having different update periods and random number ranges, and are sequentially acquired at this timing. Next, in step 1318, the second main game symbol hold means MJ32-B temporarily stores (holds) the acquired second main game content determination random number in the second main game hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-B. . Next, in step 1320, the hold control means MJ30 sets information (holding occurrence command) indicating that the second main game random number has been acquired in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit SM ( Is transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999), and the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1400). Note that if the answer is No in step 1312 or step 1314, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1400).

  In the present embodiment, information indicating that a random number has been acquired is transmitted as information to be transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM in Step 1310 and Step 1320. However, the random number information and the main game symbol are transmitted. The number of reservations may be attached and transmitted, and the information indicating that a random number has been acquired can be substituted by these pieces of information.

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. First, at step 1400 (1), the game content determination means MN executes a first main game symbol display process described later. Next, in step 1400 (2), the game content determination means MN executes a second main game symbol display process described later. Next, in step 1401, the game content determination means MN refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether either the condition device operation flag or the special game execution flag is on. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1401, in step 1402, the game content determination means MN temporarily stops the first game timer (second main game symbol variation management timer MP11t-B) and performs the next process (process of step 1600). Migrate to On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1401, in step 1403, the game content determination means MN determines that the first main game symbol variation management timer MP11t-A (second main game symbol variation management timer MP11t-B) is temporarily stopped. ) Restart {the main game timer (first main game symbol variation management timer MP11t-A, second main game symbol variation management timer MP11t-B) is temporarily stopped in step 1402 at the execution timing of this process. If not, the process proceeds to the next step without executing this process} and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1600). With this configuration, the second main game side can start to change even when the first main game side changes, and the first main game side also changes when the second main game side changes. Can start (so-called parallel lottery). In addition, when a special game related to the other main game symbol is started during the change of one main game symbol (the condition device operation flag or the special game execution flag is turned on), the change of one main game symbol {or The main game timers (the timing of the first main game symbol variation management timer MP11t-A, the second main game symbol variation management timer MP11t-B)} are configured to pause until the end of the special game. Note that this example is merely an example, and is not limited to this. For example, when a special game related to the other main game symbol is started while one main game symbol is changing, one main game symbol is displayed. You may comprise so that it can be stopped compulsorily by a lost pattern. Further, when the other main game symbol starts a big hit fluctuation, it may be configured such that one main game symbol can be forcibly stopped or the subtraction of the variation time can be temporarily stopped by a lost symbol. In addition, when one main game symbol variation is started while the other main game symbol is undergoing a big hit variation, the one lottery result may be lost (so-called no lottery state). By the method as described above, it is possible to prevent one special game (or jackpot) from overlapping with the other special game (or jackpot), but the first main game side and the second main game side (For example, the first main game side forcibly stops the second main game symbol at the start of the big hit variation of the first main game symbol, While the change on the second main game side that starts during the second main game side is in the no lottery state, on the second main game side, when the special game on the second main game side starts, the first main game symbol is forcibly stopped with a lost symbol, Etc., it may be configured to be executed in combination with a mode of preventing duplication).

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the second main game side can start to change even when the first main game side changes, and the first main game side also starts when the second main game side changes. However, the present invention is not limited to this. {If there is a reserved game based on the winning order or a reserved ball of the second main game symbol, the first Regardless of the presence of the main game symbol hold ball (even if the winning order is the first main game symbol hold first), the second main game symbol hold digestion may be prioritized and executed. }.

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the first main game symbol display process (second main game symbol display process) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} in FIG. In addition, since this process is substantially the same process on the first main game symbol side and the second main game symbol side, the first main game symbol side will be mainly described, and the processing on the second main game symbol side will be described. Use parentheses. First, in step 1404, the pending digest control means MJ31 determines whether or not a change start condition is satisfied. Here, the change start condition is not during a special game (or while the condition device is operating), is not changing the first (second) main game symbol (the other main game side may be changing), and It is a condition that there is a game symbol hold. Although not shown in this example, in the case of providing a variable fixed time (time for displaying the fixed display symbol after the main game symbol is displayed), during the variable fixed time, You may comprise so that it may not satisfy | fill.

  In the case of Yes in step 1404, in steps 1405 and 1406, the hold digest control means MJ31 stores the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-A (second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-B). The first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) related to the current symbol variation that is temporarily stored is read and the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-A (second main game) The information is deleted from the symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-B), and the remaining information temporarily stored is shifted (holding digestion processing). Next, at step 1410-1, the success / failure lottery means MN10 refers to the first main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-A (second main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-B) corresponding to each gaming state. Based on 1 main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, a winning lottery random number), a main game symbol winning lottery is executed.

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 1) is an example of a first main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-A (second main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-B). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, the jackpot winning probability in the probability varying gaming state is configured to be higher than the jackpot winning probability in the non-stochastic varying gaming state. Note that the winning probability is merely an example, and is not limited to this.

  Next, in step 1410-2, the first main game symbol determination means MN41-A (second main game symbol determination means MN41-B) selects the first main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-A (second main game). With reference to the symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-B), the main game symbol is determined based on the main game symbol determination lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, the symbol lottery random number). Stop symbols are determined, and these are temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C.

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 2) is an example of a first main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-A (second main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-B). As shown in this example, in this embodiment, when a big hit is won, one main game symbol is selected from a plurality of main game symbol candidates (in this example, “4A · 5A” and “5B”). It is configured to be determined as a jackpot symbol. Note that the number of special games rounds determined with reference to the main game symbols is 2R. Note that the types of random numbers and stop symbols are only examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. {For example, a lose symbol is not limited to one type of symbol, and a plurality of types of symbols may be provided. When a specific symbol (for example, a specific lose symbol) is stopped and displayed, before the specific symbol is stopped and displayed, the variation mode type and / or selection rate of the main game symbol is You may comprise so that it may transfer to a different state (limited frequency state) (such a structure is mentioned later)}.

  Further, a special game execution round may be provided in which the special winning opening is opened only for a very short time (for example, 52 ms). In addition, in such a configuration, it is difficult for the player to obtain a ball in the opening for a very short time, so on the effect display device SG, “From the actual number of special game rounds, “The number of rounds that will be opened for a very short period of time” can be notified that a round that makes it easy to win a ball will be executed {for example, winning a ball scheduled to be executed during the special game The image of the ball for the number of easy rounds is displayed, and every time the easy round acquisition easy round starts (or ends), the effect that the display mode of the image of the ball changes (or the display disappears) Execute} may be configured. Moreover, it is not limited to this, You may comprise so that the number of rounds which were already performed during the special game and it is easy to acquire the game may be displayed on the effect display device SG. By comprising in this way, the player will be able to visually recognize how many rounds in which a player can get a game are executed. In addition, during the special game, it is not necessary to perform the round notification that makes it easy to acquire the scheduled ball or the round that facilitates the execution of the executed ball in every special game. It may be configured to be executed only during a special game at the time of (a jackpot won in a non-stochastic game state and a time-reduced game state), or according to a special game related to the first main game side and a second main game side Whether or not the special game is executed may be different.

  Next, in step 1410-3, the first main game variation mode determination means MN51-A (second main game variation mode determination means MN51-B) draws the first main game variation mode determination lottery corresponding to each game state. Refer to the table MN51ta-A (second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B), the main game symbol determination lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (especially the variation The main game symbol variation mode is determined based on the mode lottery random number), temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the process proceeds to step 1412.

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 3) is an example of a first main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A (second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, the main game symbol variation mode (variation time) is determined based on the main game symbol winning / losing lottery result, the winning symbol, the main game short time flag state, and the variation mode determination random number. It is configured to be. In addition, the variation time of the big hit fluctuation (especially the fluctuation on the first main game side) during the auxiliary gaming disadvantageous state is determined from the same selection candidates regardless of the long open big hit and the short open big hit, while the auxiliary game The variation time of the big hit variation (especially, the variation on the first main game side) during the advantageous state is configured to be determined from different selection candidates based on whether the big open big hit or the short open big hit. (In addition, even in the auxiliary gaming disadvantageous state, for example, in the variation related to the short open big hit, it is easy to select the fluctuation mode in which the fluctuation time is relatively short compared to the fluctuation related to the long open big hit. , It will be possible to reduce the gap between the performance to be performed and the game). In this example, when the main game short time flag is off (auxiliary game disadvantageous state), the average value of the variation time on the second main game side is shorter than the average value of the variation time on the first main game side. In addition, during the auxiliary game disadvantageous state, the number of variation mode candidates on the first main game side (in this example, 4 patterns at the time of big hit, 10 patterns at the time of the loss) are selected on the second main game side. In this example, there are more variation mode candidates (in this example, one pattern at the time of big hit, one pattern at the time of loss). In other words, during the auxiliary gaming disadvantageous state, the number of variation mode candidates in the case of long open big hit is larger on the first main game side than on the second main game side. On the other hand, even when the main game short time flag is ON (auxiliary game advantageous state), the average value of the variation time on the second main game side is shorter than the average value of the variation time on the first main game side. In addition, during the auxiliary game advantageous state, for the variation mode selection candidates, the number of variation mode candidates on the first main game side (in this example, when the big hit: 3 patterns, loss: 7 patterns), the second main game side In this example, there are more variation mode candidates (in this example, one pattern at the time of big hit, one pattern at the time of loss). In addition, the number of change mode candidates on the first main game side related to the auxiliary game advantageous state (in this example, 3 patterns of big hits and 7 patterns of loss) are the number of change mode candidates on the first main game side related to the auxiliary game disadvantageous state ( In this example, there are fewer than 4 big hits and 10 lost patterns. In addition, the average value of the fluctuation time of the big hit (especially at the time of long opening big hit) in the auxiliary gaming disadvantageous state is longer than the average value of the fluctuation time of the big hit (especially at the time of long opening big hit) in the auxiliary game advantageous state. It is configured as follows.

  In addition, during the auxiliary game disadvantageous state, the number of change mode candidates on the first main game side (in this example, 4 patterns at the time of big hit, 10 patterns at the time of loss) is selected as the change mode (effect) selection candidate. The number of variation mode candidates on the main game side (in this example, one pattern at the time of big hit, one pattern at the time of loss) is larger. In other words, during the auxiliary gaming disadvantageous state, the number of variation mode candidates in the case of long open big hit is larger on the first main game side than on the second main game side. In addition, even during the auxiliary game advantageous state, the number of change mode candidates on the first main game side (in this example, when the big hit: 3 patterns, loss: 7 patterns) for the selection candidates of the change mode (effect) More than the number of variation mode candidates on the second main game side (in this example, one pattern at the time of big hit, one pattern at the time of loss). That is, during the auxiliary game disadvantageous state, the number of variation mode candidates when the long open big hit is larger on the first main game side (2 patterns) than on the second main game side (1 pattern).

  Of the variation modes that can be selected on the first main game side in the auxiliary game advantageous state (in this example, the variation time is 30 to 500 seconds), the variation mode that is selected at the time of short open big hit (in this example, A50t The fluctuation time is 50 seconds) is a relatively short time.

  Next, in step 1412, the game content determination means MN determines the commands related to the main game symbols (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information) temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB 11 b -C. , Change mode information, etc.) and a command (symbol change display start instruction command) relating to the current gaming state is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit SM side (control command transmission processing in step 1999) Is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side). Next, in step 1414, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C determines a predetermined time related to the variation time of the main game symbol as a first main game symbol variation management timer MP11t-A (second main game). The symbol variation management timer MP11t-B) is set and the timer is started. Next, in step 1416, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C causes the first main game symbol display part A21g (first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20)). On the second main game symbol display part B21g), according to the variation mode stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, the variable display of the first (second) main game symbol is started. . Next, in step 1418, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C is within the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C, and the first (second) variation. The middle flag is turned on, and the process proceeds to step 1422.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1404, in step 1420, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C refers to the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C, and the first It is determined whether or not the 1 (second) changing flag is ON. If Yes in step 1420, the process proceeds to step 1422. If No in step 1420, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1600).

  Next, in step 1422, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C determines whether or not a predetermined time related to the variation time of the first (second) main game symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1422, in step 1424, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C causes the first main game symbol of the first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20). The display of the main game symbol on the display unit A21g (second main game symbol display unit B21g) is stopped, and the stop symbol stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C is determined. Display control is performed as a stop symbol, and the process proceeds to step 1426. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 1422, the process proceeds to step 1426. Next, in step 1426, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C transmits information (the symbol confirmation display instruction command) that the symbol variation is ended to the sub main control unit SM side. It is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 (sent to the sub-main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process in step 1999). Next, in step 1428, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C is within the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C, and the first (second) variation. Turn off the middle flag.

  Next, in step 1430, the game content determination means MN refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and determines whether or not the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a big hit symbol. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1430, in step 1432 the game content determination means MN turns on the condition device operation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and proceeds to step 1500. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 1430, the process proceeds to step 1500.

  Next, at step 1500, the specific game control means MP50 executes a specific game end determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1600). Even in the case of No in step 1420, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination process according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, at step 1502, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b and determines whether or not the main game probability change flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the value of the time reduction counter MP52c and determines whether or not the counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1504, in step 1506, the specific game control means MP50 decrements (decrements) the counter value of the time reduction counter MP52c. Next, in step 1508, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the value of the time reduction counter MP52c and determines whether or not the counter value (remaining time reduction count) is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1508, in step 1510 and step 1512, the specific game control means MP50 turns off the main game short time flag and the auxiliary game short time flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Next, in step 1514, the specific game control means MP50 is a normal game transition command {a command related to information for which the counter value of the short-time counter MP52c is 0, which is described later in the high profit state flag (managed on the sub side Is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to the sub-main control unit side (in the control command transmission process of step 1999, the command is transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side). Then, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1600). It should be noted that even if No in step 1502, step 1504, or step 1508, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the special game operation condition determination process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the condition determination means MP31 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the condition device operation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in step 1604, the special game control means MP30, the special game flag (main game probability change flag, main game short time flag, auxiliary game short time) in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Flag) off. Next, at step 1606, the specific game control means MP50 clears the value of the time reduction counter MP52c. Next, in step 1608, the special game control means MP30 turns on a special game transition permission flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1610, the special game control means MP30 turns off the condition device operation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1700). In the case of No in step 1602, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1700).

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1700 in FIG. First, in step 1702, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and determines whether or not the in-destination demonstration flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1702, in step 1704, the special game executing means MP33 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1704, in step 1706 and step 1708, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the special game transition permission flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and the special game execution flag. Turn on. Next, in step 1710, the special game executing means MP33 sets an initial value (1 in this example) to a round number counter (not shown) in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1712, the special game executing means MP33 sets information (special game start display instruction command) to start the special game in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit side ( In step 1999, the control command is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side), and the process proceeds to step 1716.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1704, in step 1714, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 1714, the process proceeds to step 1716. In the case of No in step 1714, the special game execution means MP33 determines that the special game permission has not been granted, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1997).

  Next, in step 1716, the special game execution means MP33 determines whether or not the current round is a distribution game execution round (the second round winning opening C20 is related to the opening, in this example, the second R). Determine. In the case of Yes in step 1716, in step 1800, the allocated game execution control means MP36 executes an allocated game execution process described later, and proceeds to step 1742. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1716, in step 1718, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, in other words, whether or not the round continuation flag is off. It is determined whether it is immediately before the start of each round. In the case of Yes in Step 1718, that is, immediately before the start of each round, first, in Step 1720, the special game executing means MP33 stores the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b in the first big prize opening C10 in the round. An opening pattern (for example, an opening pattern that keeps opening or a pattern that opens and closes) is set. Next, in step 1722, the special game execution means MP33 clears the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c to zero. Next, in step 1724, the special game execution means MP33 turns on the round continuation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1726, the special game executing means MP33 drives the first big prize opening electric accessory C11d to release the first big prize opening C10 (hereinafter, the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b set to open). The opening / closing is executed based on the pattern), and a special game timer MP34t (particularly, an opening time timer) is set to a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) to start, and the process proceeds to step 1728. On the other hand, if No in step 1718, that is, if the first big prize opening C10 is open, the process proceeds to step 1728 without performing the processing of steps 1720 to 1726.

  Next, in step 1728, the special game execution means MP33 transmits a game state command (for example, the current round number, game ball winning number, etc.) related to the current special game to the sub-main control unit SM side. Is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM in the control command transmission process of step 1999). Next, in step 1730, the special game executing means MP33 refers to the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c and determines whether or not a predetermined number (for example, 10 balls) of winning balls have been placed in the first big winning opening C10 in the round. judge. If Yes in step 1730, the process proceeds to step 1734. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1730, in step 1732, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game timer MP34t (especially the open time timer) to determine a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) related to the special prize opening. It is determined whether or not it has elapsed. Also in the case of Yes in step 1732, the process proceeds to step 1734. If No in step 1732, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 1997).

  Next, in step 1734, the special game executing means MP33 stops driving the first big prize opening electric accessory C11d and closes the first big prize opening C10. Next, in step 1736, the special game execution means MP33 resets a special game timer MP34t (especially an opening time timer). Next, in step 1738, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the round continuation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1740, the special game execution means MP33 adds 1 to the counter value of the round number counter (not shown) in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b.

  Next, in step 1742, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the final round has ended (for example, the round number counter in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b). Whether or not the counter value (not shown) exceeds the maximum number of rounds). In the case of Yes in step 1742, in step 1744, the special game execution means MP33 is for command transmission to transmit information (special game end display instruction command) to end the special game to the sub main control unit SM side. It is set in the buffer MT10 (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side in the control command transmission process of step 1999).

  Next, in step 1746, the special game execution means MP33 determines whether or not the special game being executed is a special game related to a big hit (so-called first hit) in the non-time-reduced game state. In the case of Yes in step 1746, in step 1748, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b flag area and determines whether or not the probability change transition reservation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1748, in step 1750, the special game execution means MP33 sends a game explanation time to the special game end demonstration timer MP34t-2 (the description of the game to the player in the probability varying game state started after the special game ends). Is set to 30 seconds in this example, the timer is started, and the process proceeds to step 1756. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1748, in step 1752, the special game execution means MP33 is a special game end display time (a time for notifying the player that the special game is over) to the special game end demonstration timer MP34t-2. Yes, in this example, 5 seconds) is set to start the timer, and the process proceeds to step 1756. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1746, in step 1754, the special game execution means MP33 waits for the end of the special game end demonstration timer MP34t-2 (the time for waiting for the end of the special game. In this example, 1 Second) is set to start the timer, and the process proceeds to step 1756. In this example, the special game end demonstration time is different only on the first hit, based on ON / OFF of the main game probability change transition reservation flag (whether or not a game ball enters the specific area C22). For example, for the special game end demonstration time related to the big hit in the time-saving game state (other than the initial hit), the main game probability change transition reservation flag is turned on / off (the game ball to the specific area C22 is turned on) The special game end demonstration time may be different based on the presence / absence of the incoming ball (based on that, the production on the sub side is also different).

  In this way, at the end of the special game in the auxiliary game disadvantageous state (particularly, the special game scheduled to be shifted to the auxiliary game advantageous state), the game description in the auxiliary game advantageous state is executed. It is a long special game end demonstration time, and on the other hand, at the end of the special game in the auxiliary game advantageous state, it is not necessary to execute the game explanation, so the special game end demonstration time is relatively short. {Especially, during the auxiliary game advantageous state, more variation on the second main game side leads to the player's benefit, so the special game end demonstration time (especially the second main game It is preferable that the special game end demonstration time on the side is short}.

  Next, in step 1756, the special game execution means MP33 turns on the end-demo flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and proceeds to step 1758. Note that if the result in Step 1702 is No, the process proceeds to Step 1758.

  Next, in step 1758, the special game executing means MP33 refers to the special game end demonstration timer MP34t-2 and determines whether or not the timer value is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1758, in step 1760, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the special game execution flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, at step 1850, the specific game control means MP50 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1997). Even in the case of No in step 1742, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 1997).

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the distribution game execution process according to the subroutine of step 1800 in FIG. 14 in the present embodiment. First, at step 1802, the allocated game execution control means MP36 refers to the flag area of the allocated game related information temporary storage means MB40b, and determines whether or not the allocated game execution flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1802, that is, in the case where the distribution game is being executed, the process proceeds to the processing related to the end determination of the distribution game after step 1818.

  On the other hand, if No in step 1802, the distribution game execution control means MP36 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b in step 1804, and the stop symbol that triggered the special game is the second big prize. It is determined whether or not a predetermined jackpot symbol (5A, 5B in this example) that opens the mouth C20 for a long time. In the case of Yes in step 1804, in step 1806, the distribution game execution control means MP36 has a long release pattern (for example, 30 seconds of release for the second major winning opening C20 having the specific area C22, to the specific area C22. The game ball is easy to enter), and the process proceeds to step 1806. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1804, in step 1808, the allocation game execution control means MP36 specifies the short opening pattern of the second big prize opening C20 having the specific area C22 (for example, opening for 0.1 second, specifying The game ball is difficult to enter the region C22), and the process proceeds to Step 1810. Next, at step 1810, the sorting game execution control means MP36 clears (zero clears) the value of the winning ball counter MP33c. Next, at step 1812, the allocated game execution control means MP36 turns on the allocated game execution flag in the flag area of the allocated game related information temporary storage means MB40b. Next, at step 1814, the distribution game execution control means MP36 sets the distribution game execution command in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit SM side (control command transmission processing at step 1930). And transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side). Next, in step 1816, the distribution game execution control means MP36 starts to open the second big prize opening C20 according to the opening pattern set in the above-described processing, and proceeds to step 1818.

  Next, at step 1818, the distribution game execution control means MP36 refers to the specific area entry detection device C22s and determines whether or not a new game ball has entered the specific area C22 in the special game being executed. To do. In the case of Yes in Step 1818, in Step 1820, the distribution game execution control means MP36 determines that the main game probability change transition reservation flag {the main game probability change transition reservation flag is in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. When turned on (that is, by detecting a ball entering the specific area C22 during the sorting game), the flag that will shift to the probability-variable gaming state after the special game ends is turned on. . Next, at step 1822, the distribution game execution control means MP36 sends a command related to the specific area entry effect (the effect of notifying the player that the game ball has entered the specific area C22) to the sub-main control unit. The command is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to the SM side (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side in the control command transmission process of step 1930), and the process proceeds to step 1824. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 1818, the process proceeds to step 1824.

  Next, at step 1824, the allocation game execution control means MP36 confirms the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c, and whether or not a predetermined number (10 in this example) of gaming balls has won the second big winning opening C20. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in Step 1824, in Step 1828, the sorting game execution control means MP36 closes the second big prize opening C20. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1824, in step 1826, the allocation game execution control means MP36 determines whether or not the opening period (the set opening pattern) of the second big prize opening C20 has ended. In the case of Yes in Step 1826, the process proceeds to Step 1828, and the second big prize opening C20 is closed. Next, at step 1830, the allocated game execution control means MP36 turns off the allocated game execution flag in the flag area of the allocated game related information temporary storage means MB40b.

  Next, at step 1832, the distribution game execution control means MP36 adds 1 to the value of the round number counter (increments) (ends the distribution game execution round) and proceeds to the next process (the process at step 1742). Transition. In the case of No in step 1826, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1742).

  In the present embodiment, the two large winning openings C10 and the second large winning opening C20 are provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and only one large winning opening is provided. But you can. In such a configuration, in a round other than the distribution game execution round in the special game, even if a game ball enters the specific area C22 (assuming that the game ball has passed through the specific area entry detection device C22s) It is also preferable to invalidate the detection of the incoming ball. In addition, a shielding member that can change the ease of entering the game ball into the specific area C22 is provided, and in rounds other than the distribution game execution round, the game ball cannot enter the specific area C22 by the shielding member. It is also suitable to do. By configuring in this way, the same action as in the present embodiment can be realized with one big winning opening.

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the game state determination process after the end of the special game according to the subroutine of step 1850 in FIG. First, in step 1852, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and determines whether or not the main game probability change transition reservation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1852, in step 1854, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game probability change flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Next, at step 1856, the specific game control means MP50 turns off the main game probability change transition reservation flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and proceeds to step 1862.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1852, in step 1858, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the currently stopped big hit symbol is a long open symbol. It is determined whether or not it is a big hit symbol that makes the second big winning opening C20 long open (in this example, 5A, 5B). In the case of Yes in step 1858, in step 1860, the specific game control means MP50 sets a predetermined number (20 times in this example) to the counter value of the time reduction counter MP52c, and proceeds to step 1862. As described above, when the game ball does not enter the specific area C22 while the second grand prize opening C20 is long open (for example, an accident such as a ball clogging may be caused), It is configured to shift to the auxiliary game advantageous state. Note that this example is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, at the time of first hit (at the time of big hit in the auxiliary game disadvantageous state) Even if the game ball does not enter the specific area C22, it may be configured not to shift to the auxiliary game advantageous state.

  Next, in step 1862 and step 1864, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game short time flag and the auxiliary game short time flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and performs the next processing (step 1997). Even in the case of No in step 1858, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1997).

  Next, control processing executed on the sub-main control unit SM side will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 17 is a main flowchart on the sub-control board S side (particularly on the sub-main control unit SM side) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. Here, the process of FIG. 9A is a process on the sub-main control unit SM side that is executed after resetting when the gaming machine is powered on. That is, at the time of powering on the gaming machine, in step 2002, the sub-main control unit SM executes an initial process based on the information received from the main side (main control board M side) (for example, RAM clear information is stored). If received, the sub-side RAM is initialized, various information commands are received, and the production-related information at the time of power interruption is reset in the sub-side RAM). Thereafter, the process proceeds to a loop process for repeatedly executing (b) which is a repetitive process routine of the sub-main control unit SM. Here, when (b) is executed, as shown in the process of (b) of the figure, first, in step 2100, the secondary game control means (sub-main control unit) SM performs a hold information management process to be described later. Execute. Next, in step 2200, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a decorative symbol display content determination process described later. Next, in step 2300, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a decorative symbol display control process described later. Next, in step 2003, the sub game control means (sub main control section) SM refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and the high profit state flag {normal game state (non-probability variation game state) In addition, it is a flag that is turned on when a transition is made from the auxiliary gaming disadvantageous state) to the probability-variable gaming state and the auxiliary gaming advantageous state, and whether or not is turned on in step 2422 is determined. In the case of Yes in step 2003, in step 2400, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a special game related display control process described later, and proceeds to step 2900.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2003, in step 2500, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes an effect mode switching process to be described later. Next, in step 2600, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a high profit state effect display process which will be described later. Next, in step 2700, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a special game related display control process in the high profit state which will be described later, and proceeds to step 2900. Next, in step 2900, the sub game control means (sub-main control unit) SM executes a display command transmission control process (transmits commands set in these series of subroutines to the sub-sub control unit SS side). The repetition processing routine is terminated.

  As described above, the sub-main control unit SM employs a form in which the sub-main routine (S2100 to S2900) is loop-processed after reset. Further, the process of FIG. 5C is an interrupt process of the sub main control unit SM, and the signal from the STB signal line on the main control board M described above is a terminal of the CPU of the sub main control unit SM (in this example). , NMI terminal) is a processing flow (c). That is, when an NMI interrupt occurs in the CPU of the sub main control unit SM (when the STB signal line is turned on), in step 2004, the sub main control unit SM receives the command input port (from the main control board M side). Check the data signal line input port). In step 2006, the sub main control unit SM sends the command transmitted from the main control board M side to the RAM (eg, main side information temporary storage means SM11b) on the sub main control unit SM side based on the confirmation result. Is temporarily stored, and the process that was being executed immediately before this interrupt process is restored.

  Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the hold information management process according to the subroutine of step 2100 in FIG. First, in step 2102, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and receives a new hold occurrence command (hold information related to the main game symbol) from the main control board M side. It is determined whether or not. If Yes in step 2102, in step 2104, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 adds “1” to the drawing hold counter (up to 4 in this example) in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. To do. Next, in step 2106, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 is based on the hold occurrence command transmitted from the main control board M side, and holds information (in particular, a random value related to the main game symbol lottery or the main control). The main game symbol determination result lottery result determined in advance on the substrate M side based on the random number value is temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b.

  Next, in step 2108, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not the new hold is a hold on the first main game side. In the case of Yes in step 2108, in step 2150, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 executes a hold prefetch process described later, and proceeds to step 2120. In other words, in the present embodiment, the hold prefetch is executed only for the first main game hold (the hold prefetch is not executed for the second main game hold). Note that if the result of step 2108 is No, the process proceeds to step 2120.

  On the other hand, if No in step 2102, in step 2110, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and has received a symbol variation display start instruction command from the main control board M side? Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2110, in step 2112, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 subtracts “1” from the drawing hold counter in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Next, in step 2114, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 deletes the hold information related to the symbol variation from the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and shifts the remaining hold information. Next, in step 2118, the sub game control means (sub main control part) SM accesses the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, turns on the symbol content determination permission flag, and proceeds to step 2120. . Note that if the result of Step 2110 is No, the process proceeds to Step 2120.

  Next, in step 2120, the drawing suspension information display control means SM22 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and determines whether or not the high profit state flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 2120, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 makes full use of the effect display means SS on the effect display device SG (particularly, the first hold display portion SG12) in step 2122. Display the same number of hold display images (the same number as the first main game hold number) on the first main game side in the temporary storage means SM22b (the hold image to be displayed on the effect display device SG). Then, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2200). Even in the case of No in step 2120, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2200). In this way, in this example, during the high profit state, no hold display image is displayed on the effect display device SG (on the other hand, in the first main game symbol hold display portion A21h, the second main game symbol hold display portion B21h, It is configured to always display the number of holds.

  Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the hold prefetch process according to the subroutine of step 2150 in FIG. First, in step 2152, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and is a high profit state flag (as described above, a flag that is turned on in step 2422). ) Is on. In the case of Yes in step 2152, in step 2154, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 refers to the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b and determines whether or not the prefetch stop flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 2154, in step 2156, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 pre-determines the newly generated hold variation time and the result of the success / failure based on the hold information in the main information temporary storage means SM11b. Next, in step 2158, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not the new hold is a big hit. In the case of Yes in step 2158, in step 2160, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 determines whether or not to continue from the new hold variation time value (50 seconds or 30 seconds in this example) determined in advance in step 2156. A value obtained by subtracting a value (a time for executing a continuation allowance effect relating to whether or not the high profit state described later ends, in this example, 20 seconds) is added to the timer value of the high profit continuation timer SM24t To do. Next, in step 2162, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 turns on the prefetch stop flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and proceeds to step 2166. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2158, in step 2164, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 adds the new hold variation time value determined in advance in step 2156 to the timer value of the high profit continuation timer SM24t. 2166.

  Next, in step 2166, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 temporarily stores the value added to the timer value of the high profit continuation timer SM24t in step 2160 or step 2164 in the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b. Next, in step 2168, the hold-prefetch effect execution control means SM26 turns on the additional effect execution flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2120). To do. Even in the case of No in step 2154, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2120).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2152, in step 2170, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 pre-determines whether or not the newly generated hold is successful based on the hold information in the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2172, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not the new hold is a big hit hold. In the case of Yes in step 2172, in step 2174, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 wins the hold change lottery to win with a predetermined probability (1/3 in this example) (the hold change effect that is the prefetch effect by winning). The lottery to be executed) is executed. Next, in step 2176, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 determines whether or not the hold change lottery executed in step 2174 has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2176, in step 2178, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 determines the new hold display mode to be red, and proceeds to the next processing (step 2120). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2172 or No in step 2176, in step 2180, the hold prefetch effect execution control means SM26 determines the new hold display mode to be white and performs the next process (process in step 2120). ).

  Here, in the present embodiment, when the display mode of the hold turns red, it is configured that the hold is a hold that becomes a big hit. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is lost. The hold display mode may also be configured to be red. When configured in such a manner, the display mode of holding when the winning change lottery is won (red in this example) is more than the display mode of holding when winning the holding change lottery (white in this example). It is desirable to configure so that the degree of expectation that becomes a big hit is high. Moreover, the display mode of holding is an example, and there is no problem even if the number of types is increased or the display mode is changed.

  In the present embodiment, when the flag in the high profit state is on, the change time and the result are prefetched (preliminary determination). On the other hand, if the flag in the high profit state is off, the answer is Only the results are prefetched (preliminary judgment).

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of step 2200 in FIG. First, in step 2202, the drawing display content determination means SM21n refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the symbol content determination permission flag is on. If Yes in step 2202, in step 2204, the drawing display content determination means SM21n turns off the symbol content determination permission flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2206, the design display content determining means SM21n (and the notice effect display content determining means SM24n, the reach effect display content determining means SM25n) are temporarily stored in the main information temporary storage means SM11b (symbol information ( Referring to the stop symbol / variation mode related to the main game symbol), the information related to the game state, and the drawing variation content determination lottery table SM21ta, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol related to the main game symbol {for example, the main game If the stop symbol related to the symbol is a jackpot symbol, a flat eye such as “7, 7, 7”, etc., if it is a lost symbol, a loose eye such as “1, 3, 5”, etc.} and the variation mode { For example, when the variation mode related to the main game symbol is short-term variation, when it is non-reach and long-term variation, normal reach, super reach, etc.} are determined and the display information related to the drawing display Storage means SM21b (and informational display related information temporary storage means SM24b, reach demonstration related information temporary storage means SM25b) temporarily stored in the.

  Here, the effect determination table on the right side of the figure is an image diagram of the drawing variation content determination lottery table SM21ta. As shown in the figure, it is configured such that an effect to be executed can be determined based on a gaming state, a variation mode, and a stop symbol. In addition, during the auxiliary game disadvantageous state, the number of performance patterns that can be executed on the first main game side (in this example, the big hit time: 4 patterns, the lose time: 10 patterns) can be executed on the second main game side. More than the number of production patterns (in this example, one pattern at the time of big hit, one pattern at the time of loss). That is, during the auxiliary game disadvantageous state, the number of performance patterns in the case of a long open big hit is larger on the first main game side than on the second main game side. In addition, the number of performance patterns that can be executed on the first main game side even in the auxiliary game advantageous state (in this example, the big hit: 3 patterns, the lose: 7 patterns) is executed on the second main game side. The number of performance patterns that can be performed (in this example, one pattern at the time of big hit, one pattern at the time of loss) is larger. That is, during the auxiliary game disadvantageous state, the number of performance patterns in the case of a long open big hit is greater on the first main game side (2 patterns) than on the second main game side (1 pattern).

  Next, in step 2208, the drawing display content determination means SM21n turns on the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and proceeds to the next processing (step 2300 processing). Transition. Note that, also in the case of No in step 2202, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2300).

  Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2300 in FIG. First, in step 2302, the decorative design display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the design display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the design content determination flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2302, in step 2304, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns off the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2306, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns on the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2309, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 starts the drawing variation time management timer SM21t, and proceeds to step 2310. In the case of No in step 2302, the process proceeds to step 2310.

  Next, in step 2310, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the symbol changing flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2310, in step 2311, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 confirms the timer value of the drawing variation time management timer SM21t. Next, in step 2312, the decorative design display control means SM21 changes the decorative design based on the timer value of the drawing change time management timer SM21t and the change mode temporarily stored in the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. It is determined whether or not the start timing has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2312, in step 2314, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets a decorative symbol variable display command (transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2900). Then, the process proceeds to Step 2330.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2312, in step 2316, the decoration symbol display control means SM21 decorates the decoration based on the drawing variation time management timer SM21t and the variation mode temporarily stored in the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. It is determined whether or not the symbol stop display timing (temporary stop display timing) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2316, in step 2318, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets a decorative symbol stop display command (temporary stop display command) (the sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2900). The process proceeds to step 2330.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2316, in step 2320, the notice effect display control means SM24 (and reach effect display control means SM25), the drawing change time management timer SM21t and the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b (and reach effect). Based on the fluctuation mode temporarily stored in the related information temporary storage means SM25b), it is determined whether the display timing of the preview image or the reach image has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2320, in step 2322, the notice effect display control means SM24 (and the reach effect display control means SM25) set the image display command related to the notice image and the reach image (display command transmission control processing in step 2900). At step 2330, and the process proceeds to step 2330. Note that if the result in Step 2320 is No, the process proceeds to Step 2330.

  Next, in step 2330, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 determines whether or not the first main game symbol is stopped and displayed (for example, referring to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, from the main control board M side). Information indicating that the first main game symbol is stopped and displayed = determine whether or not a symbol fixed display instruction command has been received). In the case of Yes in step 2330, in step 2331, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets the decorative symbol stop display command (determined display command) (transmits to the sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2900). To do). Next, in step 2332, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 stops and resets (zero clears) the drawing variation time management timer SM21t. Next, in step 2334, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns off the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 2003). To do. Note that if the answer is No in Step 2310 or Step 2330, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in Step 2003).

  Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the special game related display control process according to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. First, in step 2402, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b and determines whether or not the special game flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 2402, in step 2404, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not a new special game start display instruction command has been received from the main side. . In the case of Yes in step 2404, in step 2406 and step 2408, the background effect display control means SM23 turns on the special gaming flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and the effect display device. The jackpot start display is displayed on the SG (appropriate display is made based on the type of the jackpot = that is, if the player does not want to detect the occurrence of the jackpot such that the jackpot opens and closes only for a short period of time, the jackpot start display is displayed. The process proceeds to step 2410. Note that if the result in Step 2402 is No, the process proceeds to Step 2410.

  Next, in step 2410, the background effect display control means SM23 sequentially displays the number of rounds and the number of winnings on the effect display device SG based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main side (gameability and jackpots). It may be executed as needed based on the type). Next, in step 2412, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not a distribution game execution command is newly received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2412, in step 2414, the background effect display control means SM23 sets a command for displaying a ball entry instruction effect to the second grand prize opening C20 (sub-sub control in the display command transmission control process of step 2900). (Sent to the section SS side) {in the round related to the distribution game, the player hits the player to the right in order to open the second big prize opening C20 (the game ball so that the game ball flows down on the right side of the game area D30) Will be executed}, the process proceeds to step 2416. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 2412, the process proceeds to step 2416.

  Next, in step 2416, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not a new special game end display instruction command has been received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2416, in step 2418, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and has received a specific area entry command from the main side in the special game being executed. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 2418, in step 2420, the background effect display control means SM23 provides an explanation of the game in the high profit state (in this example, the effect is for 30 seconds. For example, during the rush mode, the second attacker Set the command to display the image to be executed (send to the sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process in step 2900).

  Here, the high profit state is started at the timing when the normal game state (non-stochastic variable game state and auxiliary game disadvantageous state) is shifted to the probability variable game state and auxiliary game advantageous state, and the probability variable game state and auxiliary game advantageous state. The game ends at the timing of transition from the state to the normal game state (if the game ball is not entered into the specific area C22 during the special game in which the second big prize opening C20 is long open, the non-stochastic game state and A transition to the auxiliary gaming advantageous state, and then the timing of transitioning to the normal gaming state), and a state where the player is highly profitable (a state where the flag in the high profit state is on).

  Next, in step 2422, the background effect display control means SM23 turns on the high profit state flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b. Next, in step 2450, the background effect display control means SM23 executes an initial number of seconds determination process which will be described later. Next, in step 2424, the background effect display control means SM23 sets the initial value in the remaining time timer display on the effect display device SG (the timer value of the high profit continuation timer SM24t is set to the player's timer value). A command for executing the effect to be transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS is set (transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process in step 2900), and the process proceeds to step 2428.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2418, in step 2426, the background effect display control means SM23 sets a command for executing special game end display (in this example, display for 5 seconds) (in the display command transmission control process of step 2900). The process proceeds to step 2428.

  Next, in step 2428, the background effect display control means SM23 turns off the special gaming flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2900). . In addition, also when it is No in step 2404 or step 2416, it transfers to the following process (process of step 2900).

  Next, FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the initial number of seconds determination process according to the subroutine of step 2450 in FIG. First, in step 2452, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether there is a hold on the first main game side. In the case of Yes in step 2452, in step 2454, the background effect display control means SM23 preliminarily determines the fluctuation time and the result of success / failure of all the holds on the first main game side based on the hold information in the main side information temporary storage means SM11b. To do. Next, in step 2456, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not there is a hold that becomes a big hit in the hold on the first main game side. In the case of Yes in step 2456, the background effect display control means SM23 sets the total value of the variation times of all the first main game suspensions in the high profit continuation timer SM24t and starts the timer. Next, in step 2460, the background effect display control means SM23 turns off the prefetch stop flag in the flag area of the notice effect related temporary information storage means SM24b and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2424 or step 2718). Transition. Even in the case of No in step 2452, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2424 or step 2718).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2456, in step 2462, the background effect display control means SM23 is allowed to continue from the total value of the fluctuation time of the hold before the hold (including the jackpot hold) that becomes the big hit in the first main game hold. A value obtained by subtracting an effect time value (a time for executing a continuation allowance effect relating to whether or not a high profit state to be described later ends, in this example, 20 seconds) is set in the high profit continuation timer SM24t. Start the timer. Next, in step 2464, the background effect display control means SM23 turns off the prefetch stop flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and proceeds to the next processing (step 2424 or 2718 processing). To do.

  Here, in the present embodiment, a special game (in this example, the second big prize opening C20 related to the first main game side is short-opened when the probability varying game state and the auxiliary game advantageous state are ended. Since the 4A special game is executed, the probability-variable gaming state and the auxiliary gaming advantageous state are configured not to end until the big hit on the first main game side is won (second big prize opening C20). Except when the game ball is not allowed to enter when the is open for a long time). Therefore, the high profit continuation timer SM24t is set by setting the time (advantageous time) in which the big hit symbol on the first main game side is guaranteed not to stop as shown in step 2458 and step 2462 in the high profit continuation timer SM24t. If the timer value is not 0, it is ensured that the probability value game state and the auxiliary game advantageous state can be maintained for the time of the timer value. In the case of No in step 2452, that is, when there is no hold on the first main game side at the time of executing the initial number of seconds determination process, the value of the high profit continuation timer SM24t is not set, and the process of step 2610 described later Will be executed (the effect of loop playback) is executed (the timer value of the high profit continuation timer SM24t remains 0, which is the value before the initial value set), so the processing of step 2424 is performed. May be omitted). After that, when the first main game hold is generated, an advantageous time extra effect is executed by the process of step 2614 described later.

  Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of effect mode switching processing according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. First, in step 2502, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the high profit continuation timer SM24t and determines whether or not the timer value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in Step 2052, in Step 2504, the background effect display control means SM23 adds the value added to the high profit continuation timer SM24t at the occurrence of the hold on the first main game side executed in Step 2614. It is determined whether or not an effect to notify the person is being executed. In the case of Yes in step 2504, in step 2506, the background effect display control means SM23 executes a predetermined operation {in this example, long press of the sub input button SB (for example, it is ON continuously for 3 seconds)}. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2506, in step 2508, the background effect display control means SM23 executes switching of the set effect mode (battle mode → treasure mode or treasure mode → battle mode). By switching the effect mode, the background effect, the notice effect, the tendency of the effect such as an additional effect, which will be described later, the operation mode of the sub input button SB, the frequency and tendency of the effect using the sub input button SB, and the like are different. ), The process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2600). Note that the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2600) also in the case of No in step 2502, step 2504 or step 2506. In this example, the effect mode switching is configured to be unexecutable only during the execution of the extra effect. However, since it is configured not to interfere with the effect that is being executed, for example, a predetermined before the extra effect is executed. Production mode during a period, a predetermined period after execution of the extra production, during the production of the production related to the extra production, and during the execution of the continuation or non-continuation production described later (during execution of the production related to the end of the high profit state) It may be configured such that the switching is not executable.

  Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of the effect display process during the high profit state according to the subroutine of step 2600 in FIG. First, in step 2604, the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the high profit continuation timer SM24t and determines whether or not the timer value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 2604, in step 2606, the background effect display control means SM23 is displayed based on the set effect mode regardless of whether or not the special effect is being executed. For example, a battle mode: an effect in which a leading character is fighting against an enemy character, a treasure mode. : A command for executing the effect that the main character is searching for the ruins} is set (transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS in the display command transmission control process in step 2900). Next, in step 2608, the notice effect display control means SM24 displays the timer value of the high profit continuation timer SM24t on the effect display device SG as the remaining time timer display (always displayed and updated during execution of the base effect). The command is set (sent to the sub-sub control unit SS in the display command transmission control process in step 2900), and the process proceeds to step 2612.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2604, in other words, when the timer value of the high profit continuation timer SM24t is 0, in step 2610, the background effect display control means SM23 determines whether or not the continuation effect (first main game side big hit). It is an effect that is executed at the end of such fluctuation, and in this example, a command for executing an effect of 20 seconds) is set (transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2900), Control goes to step 2612. Note that there are a plurality of types of the continuation success / failure effects, which are configured to be selected based on the set effect modes (battle mode, treasure mode) and the variation mode. Note that this example is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a continuation / prohibition effect is determined based only on the effect mode, or a continuation / prohibition effect is determined based only on the variation mode. Or you may comprise so that it can determine by the lottery from the same production candidate.

  In the present embodiment, in the high profit state (mainly in the auxiliary game advantageous state), an effect that is not synchronized with the change display of the main game symbol (in this example, the base effect executed in step 2606, and the step In the second half of the change that is a big hit on the first main game side (in this example, the second half 20 seconds), the continuation / prohibition effect is given at the end of the change. Configured to run. In addition, this example is an example to the last, and is not limited to this, For example, you may comprise so that a continuation allowance effect can be performed from the start time of the fluctuation | variation which becomes a big hit at the 1st main game side. In such a configuration, the execution time of the continuation / prohibition effect is not the 20 seconds in this example, but the variation time of the big hit fluctuation on the first main game side (50 seconds or 60 seconds in this example).

  Next, in step 2612, the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and determines whether or not the extra effect execution flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2612, in step 2614, the notice effect display control means SM24 sets the value added to the timer value of the high profit continuation timer SM24t temporarily stored in the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b in step 2166. An additional effect to be notified is determined based on the displayed effect mode, and a command for executing the determined additional effect is set (transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS in the display command transmission control process in step 2900). Next, in step 2616, the notice effect display control means SM24 turns off the extra effect execution flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and proceeds to step 2618. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 2612, the process proceeds to step 2618.

  Thus, in this embodiment, it is comprised so that the addition effect (effect which the value of remaining time timer display increases) which alert | reports the value added to the high profit continuation timer value can be performed. In this example, in the high profit state (mainly in the auxiliary game advantageous state), the variation time (especially, in this example, only the continuation propriety effect) than the effect related to the result of the main game symbol. The extra effect, which is an effect related to the first main game symbol variation time), is configured such that the execution frequency (the number of executions, the execution time, etc.) is higher.

  Next, in step 2618, the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b, and a new normal game transition command from the main side (the counter value of the time-count counter MP52c has become 0). It is determined whether or not a command related to information has been received. In the case of Yes in step 2618, in step 2620, the notice effect display control means SM24 sets a command for executing the effect to end the high profit state (sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process of step 2900). To be sent). Next, in step 2622, the notice effect display control means SM24 turns off the high profit state flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b. Next, in step 2624, the notice effect display control means SM24 turns off the prefetch stop flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2700). Even in the case of No in step 2618, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2700).

  Next, FIG. 26 is a flowchart of the special game related display control process in the high profit state according to the subroutine of step 2700 in FIG. First, in step 2702, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not a distribution game execution command is newly received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2702, in step 2704, the background effect display control means SM23 sets a command for displaying the ball instruction instruction effect to the second big prize opening C20 (sub-sub control in the display command transmission control process of step 2900). (Sent to the section SS side) {in the round related to the distribution game, the player hits the player to the right in order to open the second big prize opening C20 (the game ball so that the game ball flows down on the right side of the game area D30) Will be executed}, the process proceeds to step 2706. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 2702, the process proceeds to step 2706.

  Next, in step 2706, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not a new specific area entry command has been received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2706, in step 2708, the background effect display control means SM23 sets a command for displaying an effect indicating the entry of the game ball into the specific area C22 (sub-sub display in the display command transmission control process in step 2900). Transmitted to the control unit SS side). Next, in step 2710, the background effect display control means SM23 turns on the specific area entry flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and proceeds to step 2712. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 2706, the process proceeds to step 2712.

  Next, in step 2712, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not a special game end display instruction command is newly received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2712, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not the finished special game is a special game related to the first main game side jackpot symbol. To do. In the case of Yes in step 2714, in step 2716, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b and determines whether or not the specific area entry flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2716, in step 2450, the background effect display control means SM23 executes the above-described initial seconds determination process. Next, in step 2718, the background effect display control means SM23 performs the high profit continuation effect (high profit described above) in which the timer value of the high profit continuation timer SM24t is reset to the remaining time timer display on the effect display device SG. A command for executing an effect similar to the start effect is set (transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process in step 2900). Next, in step 2720, the background effect display control means SM23 turns off the specific area entry flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2900). To do.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2716, in step 2722, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and the finished special game relates to the short open big hit symbol (in this example, 4A). Determine if it is a special game. In the case of Yes in step 2722, in step 2724, the notice effect display control means SM24 sets a command for executing the effect to end the high profit state (sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process in step 2900). To be sent). Next, in step 2726, the notice effect display control means SM24 turns off the high profit state flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b. Next, in step 2728, the notice effect display control means SM24 turns off the prefetch stop flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2900). In the case of No in step 2722, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 2900). Here, in the case of No in step 2722, that is, when the entry of the game ball into the specific area C22 is not detected during the special game related to the long open big hit on the first main game side in the high profit state, Although it is configured not to execute any special effects at the end of the special game, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the situation of No in step 2722, a transition is made to a non-probability variation / time reduction gaming state with a maximum of 20 variations. Therefore, you may comprise so that the effect which alert | reports that may be performed.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2714, in step 2730, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b and determines whether or not the specific area entry flag is on. To do. In the case of Yes in step 2730, in step 2732, the background effect display control means SM23 turns off the specific area entry flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b and performs the next processing (in step 2900). Process). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2730, in step 2734, the background effect display control means SM23 subtracts the value of the remaining time timer display, and the value becomes 0 (specified in the case of long open big hit in the high profit state) A command for executing a specific effect that is executed only when a game ball entering the area C22 is not detected is transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS in the display command transmission control process of step 2900. ) Next, in step 2736, the background effect display control means SM23 clears the high profit continuation timer SM24t to zero, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2900). Even in the case of No in step 2712, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2900).

  Next, FIG. 27 is a timing chart according to the game progress in the high profit state in the present embodiment. First, in the non-stochastic game state (and the auxiliary game disadvantageous state), the 2R special game is triggered by the fact that the first main game symbol is stopped and displayed at the jackpot symbol “5A” at the timing 1 in the figure. (In particular, a special game that opens the second grand prize opening C20 for a long time) is executed. In the non-stochastic game state (and the auxiliary game disadvantageous state), games on the first main game side are mainly executed.

  Next, at the timing of 2 in the figure, triggered by the end of the special game related to the jackpot symbol “5A”, and also due to the detection of a ball entering the specific area C22 during the special game Then, the probability-variable gaming state is set, and the flag in the high profit state indicating that it is in the auxiliary game advantageous state or the special game related to the big hit in the auxiliary game advantageous state is turned on. In the present embodiment, the auxiliary game advantageous state is set during the probability variation game state, and the game mainly on the second main game side and the first main game side is executed simultaneously. The variation time of the symbol is relatively longer than the variation time of the second main game symbol. Therefore, as shown in the period 2-3, 4-7 in the figure, while the first main game symbol (design disadvantageous to the player) is changing once, the second main game symbol (player) The symbol that is advantageous to the number of times fluctuates several times. Here, as the variation time of the first main game symbol is selected, the number of times the second main game advantageous to the player fluctuates during one variation of the first main game symbol, The expected value of the number of winning balls due to the big hit on the 2 main game side also increases.

  Next, at the timing of 5 in the figure, the 2R special game (especially the special that opens the second big prize opening C20 for a long time) is triggered by the fact that the second main game symbol is stopped and displayed in the big hit symbol “5B”. Game) is executed. At this time, the special game winning probability shifts to a non-stochastic game state.

  Next, at the timing of 6 in the figure, triggered by the end of the special game related to the big hit symbol “5B”, and also due to the detection of the entry into the specific area C22 during the special game Then, the probability-variable gaming state is set, and the flag in the high profit state indicating that it is in the auxiliary game advantageous state or the special game related to the big hit in the auxiliary game advantageous state is turned on. Here, since the special game is being executed during the period of 5 to 6 in the figure, the fluctuation of the main game symbol is temporarily stopped.

  Next, at the timing of 8 in the figure, the 2R special game (especially the special that opens the second big prize opening C20 for a short time) is triggered by the fact that the first main game symbol is stopped and displayed with the big hit symbol “4A”. Game) is executed. At this time, the special game winning probability shifts to a non-stochastic game state.

  Next, at the timing of 9 in the figure, when the special game related to the big hit symbol “4A” is ended, and because the entry to the specific area C22 was not detected during the special game. The high profit state flag is turned off.

  By configuring as described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the first main gaming symbol and the second main gaming symbol can be changed simultaneously (so-called parallel lottery type gaming machine), The second main game is more advantageous for the player than the first main game (first main game: probability change transition probability about 20%, second main game: probability change transition probability about 100%). Furthermore, when a game ball is launched toward the second main game start port B10 (so-called right-handed), the launched game ball can enter the first main game start port (2) A10-2. Has been. That is, even when trying to execute the second main game advantageous to the player, it is inevitable that the first main game disadvantageous to the player is executed. As a result, since the variation time of the first main game to be executed becomes long, the proportion of executing the second main game is relatively increased, and a new profitable state is obtained for the player. This makes it possible to create playability. In addition, by pre-determining whether or not the first main game is on hold and the variation time, and informing the player of the period during which the high profit state continues (in this example, the time is displayed as the remaining time timer display is updated as needed) It is possible to improve the interest of the game by suggesting to the player the sense of crisis that the profit state is ended and the standard of the number of winning balls that can be acquired.

(Modification 1 from this embodiment)
In the present embodiment, the variable mode is determined by always referring to the same table during the high profit state. However, the present invention is not limited to this and is referred to when a predetermined condition is satisfied. By configuring so that the tables can be switched, it is possible to create a state in which the player's advantage is different (the selection candidate and / or the selection rate of the variation mode is different) in the high profit state. Therefore, an example of such a configuration is referred to as a first modification from the present embodiment, and only the changes from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 28 is a flowchart of the first (second) main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) and step 1400 (2) of FIG. 9 in the first modification from the present embodiment. . First, the change from this embodiment is about Step 1410-4 (Modification 1) and Step 1550 (Modification 1), and the purpose thereof is configured to be able to execute processing for a limited frequency state to be described later. That is. That is, after determining the stop symbol of the main game symbol in step 1410-2, in step 1410-4 (odd 1), first main game variation mode determining means MN51-A (second main game variation mode determining unit MN51-B). ) Refers to the first main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A (second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B) corresponding to each gaming state, the main game symbol winning / losing result, the first Based on the main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, the variation mode lottery random number) and the limited frequency flag state, the variation mode of the main game symbol is determined, and these are changed to the first and second main game symbols. The information is temporarily stored in the information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the process proceeds to Step 1412.

  Here, FIG. 29 is an example of a table referred to in step 1410-4 of FIG. 28 in the first modification from the present embodiment. First, the changes from the present embodiment are the jackpot symbols in the second main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-B and the table configuration at the time of a loss in the second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B. The purpose is to provide a plurality of types of jackpot symbols that can be selected on the second main game side, and to refer to a different table when the limited frequency flag is on than when the limited frequency flag is off.

  That is, in the first modification from the present embodiment, when a big hit is made on the second main game side, “5B” or “7B” is selected as the big win symbol. Further, when the limited frequency flag is on, a shorter variation time (for example, B02: 0.5 seconds) is selected than when the limited frequency flag is off.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, after executing the specific game end determination process in step 1500, in step 1550 (variant 1), the game content determination means MN executes a limited frequency end determination process to be described later, and the next process ( The process proceeds to step 1600.

  Next, FIG. 30 is a flowchart of the limited frequency end determination process according to the subroutine of step 1550 in FIG. 28 in the first modification from the present embodiment. First, in step 1552, the limited frequency control means MP53 refers to the limited frequency counter MP53c and determines whether or not the counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes at step 1552, at step 1554, the limited frequency control means MP53 decrements (decrements) the value of the limited frequency counter MP53c. Next, at step 1556, the limited frequency control means MP53 refers to the limited frequency counter MP53c and determines whether or not the counter value is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1556, in step 1558, the limited frequency control means MP53 turns off the limited frequency flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1600). Transition. It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 1552 or step 1556, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 31 is a flowchart of the gaming state determination process after the end of the special game according to the subroutine of step 1850 in FIG. 14 in the first modification from the present embodiment. First, the change from this embodiment is about Step 1870 (Modification 1) to Step 1874 (Modification 1), and the purpose is when a special game related to a specific jackpot symbol (for example, 7B) is executed. It is to be configured to be able to shift to a limited frequency state. That is, after executing processing for transition to the probability variation gaming state in Step 1854 and Step 1856, in Step 1870 (Modification 1), the specific game control means MP50 temporarily stores the first and second main game symbol information. With reference to the means MB11b-C, it is determined whether or not the big hit symbol being stopped and displayed is a specific big hit symbol (for example, 7B). In the case of Yes in Step 1870 (Modification 1), in Step 1872 (Modification 1), the specific game control means MP50 sets a predetermined value (for example, 50) as the value of the limited frequency counter MP53c. Next, in Step 1874 (Variation 1), the specific game control means MP50 turns on the limited frequency flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and proceeds to Step 1862. Note that if the answer is No in Step 1870 (Modification 1), the process proceeds to Step 1862.

  By changing as described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine according to the first modification from the present embodiment, a special jackpot symbol (in this example, the jackpot symbol “7B” on the second main game side) is special. After the game is executed, until the predetermined number of changes (in this example, 50) elapses, the selection candidate and / or the selection rate of the change mode is different from that before the specific jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed ( In this example, a transition to a limited frequency state is made in which the variation time related to the loss variation on the second main game side is relatively short. As a result, since the variation on the second main game side advantageous to the player is executed in comparison with the variation on the first main game side which is disadvantageous to the player, the gaming state particularly advantageous for the player (The limited frequency state in this example) can be created.

  In this example, the variation time related to the loss variation on the second main game side is short when the specific big hit symbol (7A) is stopped on the second main game side (and the special game is terminated). However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the variation time on the first main game side is caused by a special game related to a predetermined big hit symbol on the first main game side. You may comprise so that it can transfer to the limited frequency state where becomes long. Also, the selection candidate and / or the selection rate of the variation mode on the second main game side may be switched in response to the stop display of the predetermined symbol on the first main game side, or the predetermined on the second main game side You may comprise so that the selection candidate and / or selection rate of the fluctuation | variation aspect of the 1st main game side may be switched by the stop display of a symbol. Furthermore, the symbol that triggers the transition to the limited frequency is not limited to big hits, and it can be transitioned to the limited frequency state when triggered by a specific stoppage display (or the end of the small hit game). May be. In addition, with a transition to a high profit state (for example, a stop display of a long open jackpot symbol), a limited frequency state in which the variation time of the first main game symbol becomes long each time the symbol variation is repeated (for example, In particular, the variation time related to the loss variation on the first main game side is 1st to 5th variation: average 60 seconds, 6th to 10th variation: average 120 seconds, 11th to 15th variation: average 180 seconds, 16th variation Thereafter, it may be configured to be able to shift to an average of 240 seconds or the like. Further, the lower limit of the number of winning prize balls may be set by configuring the variation time of the first main game symbol immediately after shifting to the high profit state to be a predetermined time or longer (for example, 100 seconds or longer). In addition, according to the main game design that triggers the transition to the limited frequency state, it is possible to make the selection rate and / or selection rate of the variation mode in the limited frequency state different so that the profitability of the player can be moderated It becomes.

  Also, in this example, in the auxiliary game disadvantageous state, when winning a short open big hit, it is difficult to enter the specific area C22, so that the award that can be obtained by special game does not shift to the auxiliary game advantageous state. Since the number of balls is also 1R, the player's profit is small. Therefore, although not shown in this example, in the special game on the first main game side, the lower limit of the number of winning prize balls at the time of the first hit may be set by increasing the number of rounds executed. . Further, in this example, during the high profit state, the high profit state is ended mainly by winning the short open big hit on the first main game side. Therefore, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the player's profit may be secured by configuring so that the change on the second main game side can be preferentially executed. For example, if a priority is set for a big hit symbol and a big hit variation with a high priority occurs, the big hit variation with a low priority is not executed (or the change time is forcibly changed by forcing a stop with the lost symbol). The occurrence of a short open big hit may be delayed, etc.). Further, according to the big hit symbol, the processing (forcibly stop by the lost symbol, temporarily stop the fluctuation) may be made different when the other main game symbol is a big hit (or small hit). For example, in the case of a symbol change that becomes a short-open big hit, if the big main game symbol is a big hit during that symbol change, it is configured to forcibly stop at the lost symbol, thereby avoiding the chance of falling. It can be provided.

  Further, although not shown in the present example, an upper limit may be provided for the number of consecutive big hits (probability big hits) that shift to the probability variation gaming state after the end of the special game (so-called limiter function). In that case, when the number of consecutive times per probability variation hits the upper limit number, it is configured so that it can shift to a non-stochastic game state and an auxiliary game advantageous state, thereby creating a pullback zone to the probability game state. Is possible. In addition, the gaming machine according to this example executes the second main game within the time when the first main game symbol is losing, and acquires a prize ball in the special game on the second main game side. Because it is game play, if the user leaves the seat while in a high profit state, the player's profit is impaired. Therefore, a specific entrance that allows game balls to enter (pass or flow in) is provided, and after the stoppage of the jackpot symbol is displayed, the entry of the game ball into the specific entrance is detected. By configuring the special game related to the jackpot symbol to be started, the game progress is paused (both the first main game side and the second main game side are paused), and the game is in a high profit state. The person can leave the seat, and a more user-friendly gaming machine can be provided. In addition, in order to advance the game smoothly, it may be configured not to pause the progress of the game except for a specific symbol (especially, in such a configuration, the player can set the timing to pause the game). It is preferable that the system can be notified in advance). If the player wants to start a special game but it is difficult to enter the specific entrance, the player is stressed, so it is easy to enter the specific entrance. It is desirable to configure so that. For example, when a specific entrance is provided in the upstream of the flow path of the game ball when hit right (for example, upstream from other entrances such as a start entrance, a general winning entrance, a big winning entrance, etc.) May be provided at a position where the game balls enter with high probability (for example, 90% or more of the right-handed game balls enter). The specific entrance may also be used as another entrance. Here, since it is desirable that the specific entrance is not obstructed to enter the big winning entrance or the start entrance, it is preferable to use the entrance entrance through which the game ball passes. In addition, since the auxiliary game start opening H10 is often a ball entrance through which game balls pass, in particular, the auxiliary game start opening H10 may be configured to be used also as a specific ball entrance.

  In addition, in the high profit state, when the entry of the game ball into the first main game start port (2) A10-2 is not detected for a predetermined time or more {particularly under the situation where the second main game is being executed. , The first main game start opening (2) when the game ball entering the A10-2 has not been detected for a predetermined time or more}, cheating (preventing fluctuations on the first main game side which are disadvantageous to the player) May be configured so that an error notification can be executed {even if it is a start port related to the same first main game, the first main game start port (1) A10 It is preferable that the entry to -1 does not hinder the execution of the error notification}. In addition, an error notification can be executed even when the first main game is not executed for a predetermined time or longer in a situation where the second main game is executed regardless of the detection of the game ball entering. May be.
