Description

  The present invention relates to a ball and ball game machine.

In a conventional general ball and ball game machine, when a game ball fired by a player enters a starting opening provided in a game area, numerical data (e.g., a random number value) for judging whether there is a ball or not. ), And it is judged whether the acquired numerical data is a specific value or not. If it is a specific value, the large winning opening may be opened a plurality of times. It is configured to generate a jackpot gaming state that enables winning of the.
Further, when the gaming ball enters the starting opening, not only the numerical data for the judgment of success or failure as described above, but also the aspect of the big hit gaming state (for example, the number of times of opening, that is, the number of rounds provided with a plurality of rounds) Or the mode of the gaming state after the end of the big hit gaming state (for example, whether or not to be a high probability gaming state, or if there are multiple types of long and short as a continuation period of the open extension state Numerical data for determining the period, etc.) is also acquired together.
Acquisition of such various numerical data is executed only by entering the starting opening, and there is no room for involvement of the player in any other way.
And, as a result of the success or failure judgment of whether or not the big hit gaming state occurs based on the various numerical data mentioned above, the decision result regarding the aspect of the big hit gaming state and the aspect of the gaming state after the big hit gaming state ends, etc. It is notified by the finalized display of the special symbol selected corresponding to the result of determination.
That is, in the configuration of a conventional general ball and ball game machine, the ball and ball game machine performs all determinations of acceptance / rejection and various game states from acquisition of various numerical data, etc., and the player simply starts the starting opening. Involvement was only permitted in the act of entering the ball, and the rest could only watch the result of the final display of the special symbol. Therefore, there is no room for the player's intention to intervene in the game content or process after entering the starting opening, and there is a problem that the game is simple and lacks interest.

  With respect to such a problem, the first passing port and the second passing port are provided at positions which can be passed by the player aiming and firing, and the gaming ball passes through the first passing port; In the case where the game ball passes through the second passing port, the determination mode of the maximum winning ball number is changed according to the type of the passing port, and the random number value (numerical value extracted when the game ball enters the starting port) Data on whether or not to make a big hit according to the data), and for the maximum winning balls number (content of the big hit game), depending on the player's intention, either pass through the first pass or pass through the second pass An invention (for example, Patent Document 1) is disclosed in which it is possible to arbitrarily select one.

  Also, in recent ball-ball game machines having various functions, a technique for performing a so-called read-ahead effect of changing the display mode of the number-of-held-balls display means during symbol variation display or during a big hit gaming state (for example, Reference 2) is also proposed.

JP, 2011-152161, A JP, 2006-150007, A

In the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, after entering the starting opening, the maximum winning ball number is determined based on which one of the first passing opening and the second passing opening. It is not impossible to deny that the player's intention can be intervened and the interest is increased by having the player aim at any passage and passing through.
However, in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, it is merely that the player can select and decide any passage. That is, no judgment material is provided as to whether it is better for the player to pass the gaming ball through any one of the first and second passage openings. The player had to rely on his intuition for the selection of the passage that would result in better results, which was not sufficient to reflect the player's intention.
The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and by causing the game ball to pass through any one of the first passage opening and the second passage opening, a desirable result for the player can be obtained. It is an object of the present invention to provide a ball game machine capable of sufficiently reflecting the player's intention in a configuration in which it is determined whether or not the player can play the game.

According to claim 1 which has been made to solve the above Symbol challenge invention, and numerical data extracting means for extracting numeric data due to game ball to the starting opening has ball entrance, extracted by the numerical data extracting means The winning storage means for storing the limited numerical data to a predetermined number limit, the propriety determining means for determining the propriety of the numerical data stored in the storage means on the basis of a predetermined determination probability, and the appropriateness determining means And the jackpot game content determination means for determining the contents of the jackpot game due to the game ball passing through the first gate or the second gate after the winning display is determined and The selection rate of the contents of the big hit game determined by the case where the game ball passes the first gate and the case where the game ball passes the second gate is different, the player makes the game ball the first gate or the second gate It relates pinball game machine capable of passing either any gate.

  This ball and ball game machine is a pre-reading effect executing means for executing pre-reading effect suggesting that it is a specific value before the numerical data stored in the holding storage means is judged by the pass / fail judgment means. The pre-reading effect executing means wins pre-reading effect for the numerical data stored in the pending storage means later than the numerical data judged to be won by the pass / fail judgment means, for the numerical data judged to be the winning The game is executed in the first pre-reading effect execution period before the game ball passes to the first gate or the second gate after the final display.

  By configuring in this manner, after the finalized display to be won is performed, before the player passes the game ball to the first gate or the second gate, the pre-reading effect (the big hit for holding memory) Can be performed to indicate whether or not is stored. As a result, if the player has, for example, the hit memory in the holding memory, the next big hit will also occur immediately, so the big win by the final display of this time is a danger that the maximum obtainable number decreases. On the other hand, let's pass the game ball to the gate which may get many maximum obtainable numbers on the contrary, and there is nothing to hit the holding memory, so this time the average maximum obtainable number However, it should be decided whether it is better to pass through the gate which can be obtained for sure, or the player decides which gate should be entered while assuming the development of the game thereafter. Can fully reflect the player's intention.

Also, when the jackpot game content determination means decides the contents of the jackpot game, the jackpot symbol (for example, "777" or the like) indicating that the player will be elected is displayed to the player after the winning display has been displayed. For example, it is preferable that it is after being confirmed and displayed on, for example, the effect symbol display device that can be visually recognized.
As a result, the player can clearly see that the big hit has been decided, and can prepare for the launch of the game ball to the first gate or the second gate.

Further, it is preferable that the content of the jackpot game determined by the jackpot game content determination means is, for example, the number of rounds executed in the jackpot gaming state.
In this way, the player's interest in the game can be gathered and the gaming emotion can be infused by affecting the gain that can be obtained most directly by the player. It goes without saying that other items that constitute the big hit game and affect the player's gain may be the contents of the big hit.

In addition, the configuration in which the selection rate of the contents of the big hit game is different, for example, if passing the gaming ball to the first gate, 10 rounds at 40% are selected, and if passing the gaming ball to the second gate 10 rounds at 60% Is preferably configured to be selected. Also, the present invention is not limited to this. When passing the gaming ball to the first gate, 10 rounds are selected at 100%, and when passing the gaming ball to the second gate, 10 rounds may not be selected at all (ie 0 %) Is also included. Furthermore, a plurality of round numbers are set, and the certain round number is the same selection rate regardless of which gate passes the game ball, but the other round number is different if the selection rate differs depending on the gate. The selection rate of the content of the jackpot game of the present invention is also included in the different configuration.
As a result, as the configuration in which the selection rate of the content of the big hit game is different, a wide variety of setting variations are possible, and the degree of freedom in gaming machine design is increased.

In addition, the configuration in which the player can pass the game ball to any one of the first gate and the second gate is a configuration in which the first gate and the second gate are provided in one sorter. It is suitable. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first gate may be provided separately from the left play area and the second gate may be provided separately from the right play area. In any case, it may be any configuration that allows the player to aim at and pass an arbitrary gate.
This increases the degree of freedom in the arrangement positions of the first gate and the second gate, and in the design of the configuration including these gates.

Further, the pre-reading effect performed in the first pre-reading effect execution period is configured to execute the pre-reading effect by checking and judging the numerical data stored in the pending storage means after the big hit is determined and displayed. It is good. In addition, the numerical data is confirmed when stored in the reserve storage means, and the confirmation result or the numerical data itself is stored in a predetermined storage buffer, and the prefetching effect is performed based on the storage. Also good.
Thereby, the time of confirmation of numerical data etc. for performing pre-reading effect can be set freely freely.

Also, the ball game machine described in claim 1 has a high predetermined judgment probability higher than the normal probability from the normal gaming state in which the predetermined judgment probability in the hit judgment means is the normal probability after the big hit game is over It is possible to shift to a probability variation gaming state which is a probability, and the pre-reading effect execution means is the first pre-reading effect on condition that the gaming state at the time when it is determined to be won by at least the acceptance determination means is the normal gaming state. The preread effect may be performed in the execution period.

  By configuring in this way, the probability of becoming a big hit than the probability variation gaming status because the predetermined determination probability is the normal probability rather than the probability variation gaming status that is shifted after having already obtained a certain gaming ball by the big hit game In the normal gaming state where there is a possibility of the first hit that is low and the game ball has not been acquired yet, it is possible to perform the pre-reading effect. In the normal gaming state where the condition is bad, it is more difficult to select which gate should be made to enter the ball than the probability variation gaming state, and the importance of providing information that is the determination material for selection is high. It is preferable that the pre-reading effect is notified to the normal gaming state.

In addition, the pre-reading effect execution means pre-reads in the first pre-reading effect execution period on condition that the gaming state after the big hit game executed based on the fact that the winning will be determined and displayed becomes the normal gaming state A presentation may be performed.
As a result, when the gaming state after the big hit game becomes a normal gaming state that is less likely to be a big hit than the probability variation gaming state, it is selected as to which gate it is better to enter the ball by executing pre-reading effect It is possible to provide information that will be used as a judgment material for Since the pre-reading effect can be executed in the case of becoming the normal gaming state where the degree of importance related to the provision of the information to be the determination material of the selection becomes higher than the case of becoming the probability variation gaming state it can.

In addition, the pre-reading effect execution means, the game condition when it is determined that at least the success or failure determination means is a winning, it has been determined that the winning condition is further determined that the normal gaming state is the first condition Based on the establishment of the first condition and the second condition as the second condition that the gaming state after the big hit game to be executed based on that is the normal gaming state, the prefetching effect is executed in the first prefetch effect execution period You may do so. As described above, the pre-reading effect may be performed based on the establishment of the two conditions. Further, the prefetch effect may be executed based on the satisfaction of either the first condition or the second condition.
As a result, the probability of becoming a big hit is lower than the probability variation gaming state because the predetermined determination probability is a normal probability, rather than the probability variation gaming state which is shifted after already acquiring a certain gaming ball by the big hit game, and In the normal gaming state where there is a possibility of the first hit that has not yet acquired the game ball, it is possible to perform the pre-reading effect. In addition, when the game state after the big hit game becomes a normal game state that is less likely to be a big hit than the probability variation game state, by performing pre-reading effect, it is selected regarding which gate it is better to enter the ball It is possible to provide information that will be used as judgment material. Since the pre-reading effect can be executed in the case of becoming the normal gaming state where the degree of importance related to the provision of the information to be the determination material of the selection becomes higher than the case of becoming the probability variation gaming state it can.

The invention according to claim 2 made to solve the above problems is a numerical data extraction means for extracting numerical data due to the game ball entering the starting opening, and the numerical data extraction means Hold storage means for storing the extracted numerical data to a predetermined number limit, pass / fail judgment means for judging whether the numerical data stored in the hold storage means is appropriate or not based on a predetermined judgment probability, and appropriateness judgment means The jackpot game content determination means for determining the contents of the jackpot game due to passage of the game ball to the first gate or the second gate after it is determined to be won and the winning is determined and displayed. The selection rate of the content of the big hit game determined when the game ball passes through the first gate and the game ball passes through the second gate differs, and the player makes the game ball the first gate or the second gate. It relates pinball game machine capable of passing either any gate of over bets.

  This ball and ball game machine is a pre-reading effect executing means for executing pre-reading effect suggesting that it is a specific value before the numerical data stored in the holding storage means is judged by the pass / fail judgment means. The pre-reading effect executing means wins pre-reading effect for the numerical data stored in the pending storage means later than the numerical data judged to be won by the pass / fail judgment means, for the numerical data judged to be the winning The game is executed in the first pre-reading effect execution period before the game ball passes to the first gate or the second gate after the final display.

  By configuring in this manner, after the finalized display to be won is performed, before the player passes the game ball to the first gate or the second gate, the pre-reading effect (the big hit for holding memory) Can be performed to indicate whether or not is stored. As a result, if the player has, for example, the hit memory in the holding memory, the next big hit will also occur immediately, so the big win by the final display of this time is a danger that the maximum obtainable number decreases. On the other hand, let's pass the game ball to the gate which may get many maximum obtainable numbers on the contrary, and there is nothing to hit the holding memory, so this time the average maximum obtainable number However, it should be decided whether it is better to pass through the gate which can be obtained for sure, or the player decides which gate should be entered while assuming the development of the game thereafter. Can fully reflect the player's intention.

Also, when the jackpot game content determination means decides the contents of the jackpot game, the jackpot symbol (for example, "777" or the like) indicating that the player will be elected is displayed to the player after the winning display has been displayed. For example, it is preferable that it is after being confirmed and displayed on, for example, the effect symbol display device that can be visually recognized.
As a result, the player can clearly see that the big hit has been decided, and can prepare for the launch of the game ball to the first gate or the second gate.

Further, it is preferable that the content of the jackpot game determined by the jackpot game content determination means is, for example, the number of rounds executed in the jackpot gaming state.
In this way, the player's interest in the game can be gathered and the gaming emotion can be infused by affecting the gain that can be obtained most directly by the player. It goes without saying that other items that constitute the big hit game and affect the player's gain may be the contents of the big hit.

In addition, the configuration in which the selection rate of the contents of the big hit game is different, for example, if passing the gaming ball to the first gate, 10 rounds at 40% are selected, and if passing the gaming ball to the second gate 10 rounds at 60% Is preferably configured to be selected. Also, the present invention is not limited to this. When passing the gaming ball to the first gate, 10 rounds are selected at 100%, and when passing the gaming ball to the second gate, 10 rounds may not be selected at all (ie 0 %) Is also included. Furthermore, a plurality of round numbers are set, and the certain round number is the same selection rate regardless of which gate passes the game ball, but the other round number is different if the selection rate differs depending on the gate. The selection rate of the content of the jackpot game of the present invention is also included in the different configuration.
As a result, as the configuration in which the selection rate of the content of the big hit game is different, a wide variety of setting variations are possible, and the degree of freedom in gaming machine design is increased.

In addition, the configuration in which the player can pass the game ball to any one of the first gate and the second gate is a configuration in which the first gate and the second gate are provided in one sorter. It is suitable. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first gate may be provided separately from the left play area and the second gate may be provided separately from the right play area. In any case, it may be any configuration that allows the player to aim at and pass an arbitrary gate.
This increases the degree of freedom in the arrangement positions of the first gate and the second gate, and in the design of the configuration including these gates.

Further, the pre-reading effect performed in the first pre-reading effect execution period is configured to execute the pre-reading effect by checking and judging the numerical data stored in the pending storage means after the big hit is determined and displayed. It is good. In addition, the numerical data is confirmed when stored in the reserve storage means, and the confirmation result or the numerical data itself is stored in a predetermined storage buffer, and the prefetching effect is performed based on the storage. Also good.
Thereby, the time of confirmation of numerical data etc. for performing pre-reading effect can be set freely freely.

Further, the prefetching effect executing means of the ball and ball gaming machine according to the second aspect of the present invention, when executing the prefetching effect in the first prefetching effect execution period, is displayed on the hold storage means after the winning display The stored numerical data may be used as an object of pre-reading effect.

  By configuring in this manner, it is possible to improve the game intention of the player who is trying to enjoy the pre-reading effect. Further, in order to set the numerical data stored after the first pre-reading effect execution period, that is, the final display as the target of the pre-reading effect, the player continues to fire even after the final display, so the operation is improved. Furthermore, since the start-up prize is generated in order to generate the retention memory after the confirmation display, it is possible to provide a room for the technical intervention of the player.

The invention according to claim 3 made to solve the above problems is a numerical data extraction means for extracting numerical data due to the game ball entering the starting opening, and the numerical data extraction means Hold storage means for storing the extracted numerical data to a predetermined number limit, pass / fail judgment means for judging whether the numerical data stored in the hold storage means is appropriate or not based on a predetermined judgment probability, and appropriateness judgment means The jackpot game content determination means for determining the contents of the jackpot game due to passage of the game ball to the first gate or the second gate after it is determined to be won and the winning is determined and displayed. The selection rate of the content of the big hit game determined when the game ball passes through the first gate and the game ball passes through the second gate differs, and the player makes the game ball the first gate or the second gate. It relates pinball game machine capable of passing either any gate of over bets.

  This ball and ball game machine is a pre-reading effect executing means for executing pre-reading effect suggesting that it is a specific value before the numerical data stored in the holding storage means is judged by the pass / fail judgment means. The pre-reading effect executing means wins pre-reading effect for the numerical data stored in the pending storage means later than the numerical data judged to be won by the pass / fail judgment means, for the numerical data judged to be the winning The game is executed in the first pre-reading effect execution period before the game ball passes to the first gate or the second gate after the final display.

  By configuring in this manner, after the finalized display to be won is performed, before the player passes the game ball to the first gate or the second gate, the pre-reading effect (the big hit for holding memory) Can be performed to indicate whether or not is stored. As a result, if the player has, for example, the hit memory in the holding memory, the next big hit will also occur immediately, so the big win by the final display of this time is a danger that the maximum obtainable number decreases. On the other hand, let's pass the game ball to the gate which may get many maximum obtainable numbers on the contrary, and there is nothing to hit the holding memory, so this time the average maximum obtainable number However, it should be decided whether it is better to pass through the gate which can be obtained for sure, or the player decides which gate should be entered while assuming the development of the game thereafter. Can fully reflect the player's intention.

Also, when the jackpot game content determination means decides the contents of the jackpot game, the jackpot symbol (for example, "777" or the like) indicating that the player will be elected is displayed to the player after the winning display has been displayed. For example, it is preferable that it is after being confirmed and displayed on, for example, the effect symbol display device that can be visually recognized.
As a result, the player can clearly see that the big hit has been decided, and can prepare for the launch of the game ball to the first gate or the second gate.

Further, it is preferable that the content of the jackpot game determined by the jackpot game content determination means is, for example, the number of rounds executed in the jackpot gaming state.
In this way, the player's interest in the game can be gathered and the gaming emotion can be infused by affecting the gain that can be obtained most directly by the player. It goes without saying that other items that constitute the big hit game and affect the player's gain may be the contents of the big hit.

In addition, the configuration in which the selection rate of the contents of the big hit game is different, for example, if passing the gaming ball to the first gate, 10 rounds at 40% are selected, and if passing the gaming ball to the second gate 10 rounds at 60% Is preferably configured to be selected. Also, the present invention is not limited to this. When passing the gaming ball to the first gate, 10 rounds are selected at 100%, and when passing the gaming ball to the second gate, 10 rounds may not be selected at all (ie 0 %) Is also included. Furthermore, a plurality of round numbers are set, and the certain round number is the same selection rate regardless of which gate passes the game ball, but the other round number is different if the selection rate differs depending on the gate. The selection rate of the content of the jackpot game of the present invention is also included in the different configuration.
As a result, as the configuration in which the selection rate of the content of the big hit game is different, a wide variety of setting variations are possible, and the degree of freedom in gaming machine design is increased.

In addition, the configuration in which the player can pass the game ball to any one of the first gate and the second gate is a configuration in which the first gate and the second gate are provided in one sorter. It is suitable. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first gate may be provided separately from the left play area and the second gate may be provided separately from the right play area. In any case, it may be any configuration that allows the player to aim at and pass an arbitrary gate.
This increases the degree of freedom in the arrangement positions of the first gate and the second gate, and in the design of the configuration including these gates.

Further, the pre-reading effect performed in the first pre-reading effect execution period is configured to execute the pre-reading effect by checking and judging the numerical data stored in the pending storage means after the big hit is determined and displayed. It is good. In addition, the numerical data is confirmed when stored in the reserve storage means, and the confirmation result or the numerical data itself is stored in a predetermined storage buffer, and the prefetching effect is performed based on the storage. Also good.
Thereby, the time of confirmation of numerical data etc. for performing pre-reading effect can be set freely freely.

In the big hit game of the ball game machine according to claim 3 , the contents of the big hit game determined by the case where the game ball passes through the first gate and the case when the game ball passes through the second gate It is possible to provide a specific big hit game with the same selection rate, and the prefetch effect execution means may not execute the prefetch effect in the first prefetch effect execution period when it is determined by the acceptance judgment means that the specific big hit game will be made. .

  By configuring in this manner, the player can select any gate every time by providing a big hit game which does not affect the selection rate of the content of the big hit game, regardless of which gate the game ball passes through. Can reduce the burden of In addition, since it is a specific big hit game that is not related to the gate type that the game ball has passed, it is possible for the player to get confused by not performing unnecessary pre-reading effect as a provision means of judgment material for selecting the gate type. You can not give it. If the gain is not affected, it is possible to release the player from unnecessary complicated work such as selection of a gate type and launch of a game ball aiming to pass the selected gate.

  In addition, in the pre-reading effect executed by the pre-reading effect execution means of the ball game machine, the pre-reading effect after confirmation performed in the first pre-reading effect execution period and the first pre-reading effect execution period are different periods There is a changing pre-reading effect that is executed in the second pre-reading effect execution period, and while changing pre-reading effect is executed even if the numerical data stored in the pending storage means is a value other than a specific value, After confirmation, the pre-reading effect may be set so as not to be executed when the numerical data stored in the holding storage means is a value other than a specific value.

  By configuring in this manner, the pre-reading effect during fluctuation is performing pre-reading effect even when the value is not a specific value, so there are many execution opportunities for pre-reading effect, giving the player a sense of expectation and a sense of harassment (a feeling of upset). be able to. In addition, since the pre-read effect after confirmation is performed only when the value is a specific value, the player can use any gate based on the reliable information on the big hit that occurs after the present big hit game. It becomes possible to determine with certainty whether it is better to enter the ball, and it is possible to further reflect the player's intention.

Moreover, the presentation mode of the pre-reading effect may be made the same or different between the pre-reading effect after variation and the pre-reading effect after confirmation.
For example, in the case of changing the look-ahead indication during change, if the hold display is displayed in a color different from the normal color, the hold display will be displayed in a color different from the normal color as well. Also good. In addition, in the pre-reading effect after confirmation, the on-hold display may be displayed in a color that is not displayed in the changing pre-reading effect. Note that the effect mode is not limited to colors as a matter of course, and is a state that can be recognized visually, such as form, size, movement, and the like.

In addition, although the condition is satisfied and numerical data is a specific value, it may be configured not to be executed during the pre-reading effect during fluctuation, but the pre-reading effect after confirmation is when the numerical data is a specific value Is preferably configured to be executed.
As a result, it is possible to provide the player who selects which gate to pass with information that is certain to be a big hit.

Although not illustrated, in the present embodiment, a big hit is performed with different number of rounds, but when the number of rounds of these multiple types is determined, the number of rounds controlled by main controller 80 indicating the number of rounds is displayed It has a lamp. The round number display lamp is configured to be displayed when the number of rounds is determined by the game ball passing through the first gate 18 or the second gate 19 described later.

  In the center case 5 of the game board 1 shown in FIG. 2, the LCD panel of the effect symbol display device 6 (the whole illustration is omitted) is disposed at the center, and on the screen of the LCD panel, the effect symbol (also referred to as a decorative symbol) The symbol display for notifying the result of the big hit lottery corresponding to the special view, the various effects during the big hit gaming state, the various notifications and the like are performed by performing the variable display of a) and various notification displays. Further, the center case 5 is provided with a warp inlet, a warp weir, a stage and the like as well known ones. In the lower left part of the game area 3, general winning openings 25, 26, 27 are provided. A large number of game nails 4 are implanted in the game area 3 of the game board 1, and an out port is provided at the lowermost part of the board.

Next, the configuration and operation of the distribution device 16 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the drawing is a schematic explanatory view in which the front surface of the housing is omitted so that the internal distribution structure and the like can be easily understood.
As described above, the sorting device 16 is an opening that opens upward so that gaming balls which are fired by so-called right strike and flow down the right flow-down path of the gaming area 3 can be taken inside. 16a is provided. Further, the distribution device 16 is provided with a distribution / introduction passage which is in communication with the intake port 16a and is formed in a substantially reverse Y-shape in the figure, and the lower Y- Includes a first gate 18 and a second gate 19 at the lower right. The branch of the distribution guide path is provided with a distribution member 17 which is pivotally installed so as to be tiltable to the left and right from the standing state. The distributing member 17 is configured to tilt to the left and right using a distributing solenoid 17a described later as a driving means. The drive control of the distribution solenoid 17a is configured to be directly executed by the main control apparatus 80 by a distribution apparatus control process (S720) described later. However, a distribution solenoid drive control board is provided as a drive control means of the distribution solenoid 17a, and the main controller 80 indirectly drives the distribution member 17 via the distribution solenoid drive control board. It may be configured to control. Furthermore, an exhaust guiding path is formed in communication with the first gate 18 and the second gate 19 and inclined downward to the left in the figure, and the left end of the exhaust guiding path is provided with the first gate 18 or the second gate. A discharge port 16 b is opened to discharge the gaming ball having passed 19 into the gaming area 3.

  The operation of the distribution device 16 configured as described above will be described. First, the distributing member 17 of the distributing device 16 is directed in the lateral direction in the drawing about the pivot by driving control of the distributing solenoid 17a in the distributing device control process (S720) of the big hit determination process described later. Continue to repeat the tilting action. The left and right tilting operations are switched and executed, for example, every 5 seconds. During execution of such a tilting operation, when the sorting device 16 takes in the gaming ball from the loading port 16a, it guides the gaming ball toward the sorting member 17 immediately below. The guided game ball is distributed to either the first gate 18 or the second gate 19 based on the distribution mode realized by the tilting operation of the distribution member 17, and passes through any gate. The first gate switch 18a or the second gate switch 19a generates a detection signal. The gaming ball having passed through any one of the gates flows down the discharge guiding path in accordance with the inclination, and is discharged toward the game area 3 from the discharge port 16b.

Further details will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b). FIG. 3 (a) shows a right sorting mode in which the gaming ball is guided to the lower right by the sorting member 17 tilting in the left direction and shielding the left sorting guide path, Shows the left distribution mode in which the game ball is guided to the lower left by the distribution member 17 tilting to the right and shielding the distribution guide path on the right side. In the case of the right distribution mode in FIG. 3A, the game balls are distributed to pass through the second gate 19, and in the case of the left distribution mode in FIG. 3B, the game balls pass through the first gate 18. To be distributed.
In the present embodiment, the player can pass the game ball to any one of the first gate 18 and the second gate 19. That is, the player can easily pass the game ball to any gate by firing the game ball at the timing when the distribution member 17 is maintained in the right distribution mode or the left distribution mode. It is configured to be able to.

  In this embodiment, it is configured to acquire (extract) a gain determination random number due to the game ball passing through the second gate 19. Further, based on the fact that the gaming ball passes through the first gate 18 or the second gate 19, an activation start trigger of the accessory continuously operating device is generated. Furthermore, as described above, the content of the jackpot game is determined based on which of the first gate 18 and the second gate 19 has passed. The contents of the jackpot game will be described later.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the gain determination random number is obtained because the gaming ball passes through the second gate 19, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is good also as composition acquired also when passing through 18. In this case, even if the obtained random number for gain determination is any value, it is possible by setting the round number selection table 00 to always select 10 rounds if the jackpot symbol determination random number is 1 to 9. (See FIGS. 22 and 23 described later). By doing this, the random number for gain determination will always be acquired regardless of the type of the gate through which the game ball has passed, in other words, the case where the random number for gain determination is acquired depending on the type of gate is controlled There is no complexity in processing, and it is possible to suppress the occurrence of troubles simply as control processing.

  Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 50 will be described. The pachinko machine 50 is configured centering on the main control device 80 as shown in the block diagram of FIG. 4. Note that, in this block diagram, a so-called relay board, a power supply board, and the like that merely relay signals are not described. Although not shown in detail, all of the main control unit 80, the payout control unit 81, the rendering symbol control unit 82, and the sub integrated control unit 83 have a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, an input port, an output port, etc. .

Further, main controller 80 controls driving of distribution solenoid 17a that drives distribution member 17 described above.

  An output signal from the main control unit 80 is also output to the test signal terminal, and a signal for management such as symbol variation or big hit is output to the external connection terminal plate 78 and sent to the hall computer 87. As described above, the main control device 80 is a main control means that generally controls the game of the pachinko machine 50.

The main control unit 80 and the payout control unit 81 can perform two-way communication.
The payout control device 81 operates the payout motor 30 according to the command sent from the main control device 80 to pay out the prize balls. In this embodiment, a detection signal of the payout SW 31 for counting gaming balls to be paid out as winning balls is input to the payout control device 81, and the payout control device 81 uses a configuration in which the counting of the winning balls is performed. In addition to this, it is also conceivable to use a configuration in which the detection signal of the payout SW 31 is input to the main control unit 80 and the payout control unit 81, and both the main control unit 80 and the payout control unit 81 count the winning balls.

  The payout control device 81 receives signals from the glass frame opening SW 45, the inner frame opening SW 46, the ball out SW 33, the payout SW 31, and the full SW 32, and the full SW 32 indicates that the lower tray 63 is full. When it is input, or when a signal indicating that there are few or no gaming balls in the ball tank (not shown) is input by the ball out SW 33, the payout motor 30 is stopped and the payout operation of the winning balls is stopped. . Further, the full SW 32 and the ball out SW 33 are also configured to continue to output signals until the state is canceled, and the payout control device 81 drives the payout motor 30 due to the fact that the signals are not output. Resume.

  Further, the payout control device 81 operates the payout motor 30 by communicating with the CR unit (prepaid card unit) 56 via the CR unit terminal plate 34, and discharges the rental ball. The dispensed ball is detected by the payout switch 31, and the detection signal is input to the payout control device 81. Further, the CR unit terminal board 34 is also connected so as to enable bidirectional communication with the settlement display device 59, and the settlement display device 59 has a ball lending button (provided with a ball lending SW) for requesting the lending of gaming balls. 57, a settlement button (equipped with a settlement SW) 58 for requesting settlement is provided.

  Further, the payout control device 81 transmits information on the winning balls via the external connection terminal plate 78, information indicating the open / close state of the frame (inner frame, front frame 52), etc. to the hall computer 87, and Send a launch stop signal to. The launch control device 84 controls the launch motor 40 to cause the gaming area 3 to launch game balls.

  In addition to the payout control device 81, the firing control device 84 receives a rotation amount signal from the firing handle 64, a touch signal from the touch SW 38, and a firing stop signal from the firing stop SW 39. The rotation amount signal is output when the player operates the release handle 64, the touch signal is output when the player touches the release handle 64, and the release stop switch signal is when the player presses the release stop SW 39. Output. The game ball can not be fired unless a touch signal is input to the launch control device 84. In addition, when the launch stop switch signal is input, the game sphere can be launched even if the player touches the launch handle 64. It is not supposed to.

  The sub integrated control device 83 receives data and commands transmitted from the main control device 80, distributes them to data for effect display control, sound control and lamp control, and performs commands for effect display control, etc. Are transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82, and are distributed to the respective control parts (functional units as a voice control device and a lamp control device) for sound control and for lamp control which are included in itself.

  Then, the function unit as the voice control device controls the sound output from the speaker 66 by operating the sound LSI based on the data for voice control, and the function unit as the lamp control device is data for lamp control The various LEDs and lamps 28 are controlled by operating the lamp driver on the basis of.

  The sub integrated control device 83 is connected to the effect button 67 and the jog dial 68, and when the player operates the effect button 67 and the jog dial 68, the signal is input to the sub integrated control device 83. .

The sub integrated control device 83 and the effect symbol control device 82 can perform two-way communication.
The effect symbol control device 82 displays effect symbols based on data and commands received from the sub integrated control device 83 (both of which are transmitted from the main control device 80 and those generated by the sub integrated control device 83). The apparatus 6 is controlled to display an effect screen such as a variable display of the effect pattern (pattern effect).

  The main routine executed by main controller 80 will be described according to FIG. The main routine is repeatedly executed with a hard interrupt of about 2 ms. In the present embodiment, a process that is executed only once from S10 to S65 each time the main routine is activated is referred to as "this process", and the time remaining within the time when this main process is executed is The process of S70 that is repeatedly executed as much as allowed is referred to as "residual process". The "main process" is periodically executed by the above-mentioned interrupt.

  When a hard interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether it is a normal interrupt (S10). This determination process is performed by determining whether or not the value of a predetermined area of the RAM as a memory is a predetermined value, and when the process executed by the microcomputer shifts to this process, the normal process is executed. It is for judging whether it is good or not. In the case of not being a normal interrupt, it is conceivable that the microcomputer runs out upon power-on or due to noise or the like, but since it can be considered that there is almost no runaway of the microcomputer due to improvement in technology in recent years, most are power-on. When the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.

  If it is determined that the interrupt is not normal (S10: no), the initial setting (for example, writing a predetermined value to a predetermined area of the memory, each initial pattern to a memory area such as a special symbol and a normal symbol as an initial symbol) The value is written (S15), and the process proceeds to the remaining process (S70).

  When the positive determination that the normal interrupt is made is made (S10: yes), an initial value random number update process is executed (S20). This process is an incrementing process that increments the value of the initial value random number every time this process is performed, and increments the value of the initial value random number before this process is executed, but the random number value before this process is maximum When the value is, for example, "299", the processing returns to the initial value "0" in the next process, and 300 integers from "0" to "299" are repeatedly created in ascending order.

  The big hit determination random number update process (S25) following S20 is an increment process that increments by 1 each time the process is performed as in the initial value random number update process, and for example, the next process when "299" is the maximum value. Return to the initial value "0", and repeatedly create 300 integers from "0" to "299" in ascending order. The first value of the jackpot determination random number is the value set (created) in the initial value random number update process (S20). Assuming that this value is 150, the jackpot determination random number is updated to “150” “151” “152”... “299” “0” “1”.

  When the jackpot determining random number is cycled (to be updated 300 times), the value of the initial value random number at that time is made the initial value of the jackpot determining random number. The jackpot determining random number is incremented by +1 from its initial value. Then, when the jackpot determination random number makes one round, an operation is performed to set the value of the initial value random number at that time to the initial value of the jackpot determination random number. That is, this series of operations will be repeated repeatedly. In the above example, since it is one round when the jackpot determination random number is “149”, the next to “149” is the value of the initial value random number. Assuming that the value of the initial random number is "87", "149" "87" "88" ... "299" "0" "1" ... "86" changes to "86". Next to is the value of the new initial value random number.

  The jackpot symbol determination random number updating process (S30) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 10 integers from "0" to "9", and is incremented by one for each process and exceeds the maximum value, the initial value being "0 Back to The hit determination random number updating process (S35) following S30 is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 10 integers of "0" to "9", and is incremented by one for each process and is set to the initial value when it exceeds the maximum value. Return to "0". The value to be won is always "7". This random number for hitting determination is usually used for lottery of symbols, initial value random number, random number for big hit determination, random number for reach judgment is used for lottery of special symbols, random number for big hit symbol determination, random number for fluctuation pattern determination Used for both symbol lottery and special symbol lottery.

  The reach determination random number update process (S40) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 229 integers of “0” to “228”, and is incremented by one for each process and exceeds the maximum value. Back to The fluctuation pattern determination random number update process (S45) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 120 integers from "0" to "119", and is incremented by one for each process and is the first value when the maximum value is exceeded. Return to 0 ".

Subsequent to S45, the main controller 80 of this embodiment executes a gain determination random number update process in S47. In the process, the gain determination random number is updated.
Here, the gain determination random number will be described with reference to FIG.

  The gain determination random number is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 10 integers of “0” to “9”, and is incremented by one for each processing, and returns to the initial value “0” when the maximum value is exceeded. The extraction of the gain determination random number is performed due to the time when the gaming ball passes the second gate 19 described later.

  By the way, it will be repeated, but the random number for jackpot design determination mentioned above is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 10 integers from "0" to "9", and it is +1 when this processing is performed and exceeds the maximum value. Return to the value "0". The extraction of the jackpot symbol determination random number is executed due to the time when the gaming ball enters the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12.

  The process of selecting and selecting the number of time-saving times or the number of rounds using the jackpot symbol determination random number and the gain determination random number will be described in detail later. Returning to FIG. 5, the main routine will be described again.

In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S50), the confirmation of winning of the first start opening 11, the second starting opening 12, the confirmation of the passage of the game ball of the normal symbol operation gate 22, and the pachinko machine of this embodiment is provided with main control An input process of each switch connected to the device 80 is performed.
That is, in the process, the process of confirming the passage of the gaming ball is also executed with respect to the first gate 18 and the second gate 19.

  In this embodiment, when the game ball wins in the first starting opening 11 and the second starting opening 12, a plurality of random numbers such as a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol determination random number, a fluctuation pattern decision random number, a reach determination random number are acquired. However, the number that can be reserved and stored is up to four for the first start opening 11 and the second start opening 12 in total, and when the reserved storage is full at four, the game ball corresponds to the corresponding start opening Even if a prize is won, the plurality of random numbers are not held and stored, but only the prize balls are paid out.

  Subsequently, a propriety determination process (S55) for determining whether or not a big hit is performed. In the success or failure determination process (S55), processing such as success or failure determination corresponding to each of the special symbol and the normal symbol, symbol variation accompanying the success or failure determination, special game processing, and the like is performed. The fraud monitoring process (S60) following the success / failure determination process (S55) is a process of monitoring whether or not the regular winning opening 25 to 27 has been made fraudulent, and the game ball enters the winning opening within a predetermined time. It is a process to judge whether the number is larger than the predetermined number determined in advance, and when it is larger, it is determined to be incorrect and to notify that effect. That is, the fraud determination means is provided in the main control device 80.

  In each subsequent output process (S65), the main control device 80 responds to the progress of the game with respect to the rendering symbol control device 82, the payout control device 81, the launch control device 84, the sub integrated control device 83, the special winning opening solenoid 20b, etc. Each output process is executed. That is, when it is detected by the winning confirmation process (S50) that there is a winning of the gaming ball at each winning opening on the gaming board 1, the winning ball signal is transmitted to the payout control device 81 to pay out the gaming ball as the winning ball. Process to output sound data corresponding to the game state to the sub integrated control device 83, and output an error signal to the effect symbol control device 82 to notify that it is in error when there is an abnormality in the pachinko machine Execute each process.

  The above-described residual processing subsequent to this processing is composed of the initial value random number updating processing (S70), but is the same processing as S20 described above. This process forms an infinite loop and is repeatedly executed as long as time permits until the next interrupt is executed. The time required to execute the above-described processing from S10 to S65 differs for each interrupt depending on whether or not the big hit processing is performed, the display mode of the special symbol, and the like. As a result, the number of times the residual process is executed is also different for each interrupt, and the value updated to the initial value random number by the execution of the interrupt process once is not uniform. Thereby, the possibility that the initial value random number will be synchronized with the jackpot determination random number will be extremely small. Assuming that the values of the initial value random numbers (300 of 0 to 299) occur in the same degree when the big hit determination random number makes one round, the probability of synchronization is only 1/300. In addition, the hit determination random number updating process (S35) described above may be executed in the remaining process.

  An outline of the start winning confirmation process (a part of S50) is shown in FIG. The main control device 80 first determines whether or not the game ball has entered the first starting opening 11 and the second starting opening 12 based on the detection signal of the starting opening switch 11a (S100). If it is an affirmative judgment (S100: yes), the big hit determination random number, the big hit symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the fluctuation pattern decision random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, etc. In the embodiment, it is determined whether or not four) (S105). That is, the jackpot determining random number as numerical data is extracted due to the entry into the starting opening of the present invention. Although the present embodiment is configured to process extraction of numerical data in the determination processing of S105, the present invention is not limited to this, and extraction processing may be provided separately from the determination processing.

If the pending storage is not full (S105: no), the above random numbers are stored as the pending storage, and the lighting mode of the special symbol pending number display device 23 is increased by 1 (S110). In addition, the special symbol number-of-retentions display device 23 indicates the number stored in a binary system by turning on or off the two LEDs (however, in the case where the number of reserved memories is four, both LEDs are used together) In the case of "flashing", "increasing the lighting mode" means increasing the number shown in binary system by one. Further, in S110, a command (pending number command) indicating that the pending number has been updated is transmitted to the sub integrated control apparatus 83. Thus, the process ends (returns). If the game ball has not entered the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12 (S100: no), or if the holding memory is full (S105: yes), this processing ends.
Thus, at S110, main controller 80 stores the numerical data extracted at S105 with the predetermined number (for example, four in the present embodiment) as the number of pending storages being full as the upper limit.
Next, a prefetch determination process is performed based on the extracted random number stored in S110 (S115). The prefetch determination process will be described later. After the pre-reading determination process of S115 is executed, information regarding the stored storage that is stored, that is, whether it is hit or missing, such as the pre-reading command set to be transmitted in the pre-reading determination process of S115 Is transmitted to the sub integrated control apparatus 83 (S120), and the present process is terminated.

  Next, the above-described pre-reading determination process of S115, which determines the value of the newly generated big hit determination random number and the like related to the pending storage, will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. This process is called from the start winning confirmation process.

  In S660, main controller 80 determines whether or not the value of the newly generated large hit determination random number for pending storage is the first specific value (a value to be hit in the big hit lottery, also referred to as a specific value). If a positive determination is obtained (S660: Yes), the process proceeds to S665, and if a negative determination is obtained (S660: No), the process proceeds to S670.

  In S665, main controller 80 indicates that the value of the newly generated large hit determination random number for pending storage is the first specific value, and generates prefetch command 3 indicating the number of pending storages. End the process.

  On the other hand, in S670, main controller 80 determines whether or not the value of the random number for reach determination pertaining to the newly generated pending storage is a second specific value (a value that causes reach out by symbol effect), and an affirmative determination is made. If obtained (S670: Yes), the process proceeds to S675, and if a negative determination is obtained (S670: No), the process proceeds to S680.

  In S 675, main controller 80 indicates that the value of the newly generated reach determination random number for pending storage is the second specific value, and generates prefetch command 2 indicating the number of pending storages, End the process.

  Further, at S680, main controller 80 determines that the newly generated random number for jackpot determination pertaining to pending storage is neither the first specific value nor the reach determination random number described above, that is, it is a loss And a prefetch command 1 indicating the number of pending storages, and the process ends.

As described above, in the prefetching determination process, the configuration is shown in which the prefetching command indicating the determination result of the big hit, the reach loss, and the loss is generated. In this regard, the types of the determination results (incompliance results) provided in advance in the present embodiment will be further described with reference to FIG. 24 (a).
In FIG. 24 (a), the occurrence rates of big hit, super reach, normal reach, and loss are shown. As illustrated, in the present embodiment, among the determination results, the above-described reach loss is further divided into super reach (loss) and normal reach (loss). In general, a big hit is a state reached via reach state (including super reach and normal reach), but with super reach and reach (meaning normal reach) shown in FIG. It refers to only those that will be lost. Moreover, a loss means what becomes a loss, without passing through a super reach or a normal reach as a process of a fluctuation display.
As shown in the figure, the appearance rate of these determination results is set to 279/300 for the loss, 15/300 for the normal reach, 5/300 for the super reach, and 1/300 for the big hit. Therefore, the prefetch command 1 transmitted to the sub integrated control apparatus 83 when it is determined to be a loss is transmitted with a probability of 279/300, and the prefetch command transmitted to the sub integrated control apparatus 83 when it is determined to be a big hit. 3 is transmitted with a probability of 1/300. Further, the prefetch command 2 transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 when it is determined to be reach loss is transmitted with a probability of 20/300, which is a total value of appearance rates of normal reach and super reach.

Among the success / failure determination processes in S55, the process for performing the success / failure determination according to the special symbol, etc. is as shown in FIGS. 8 to 11, and the main control device 80 determines whether or not the character continuous actuation device is in operation The determination is made based on the 2 jackpot flag (S200).
The second jackpot flag is a flag indicating that a jackpot game is being executed by setting 1; 1 is set in S760 of the jackpot determination processing (FIG. 12) described later, and a special game processing ( This is a flag that is set to 0 in S605 of FIG. In the present embodiment, the processing of S205 and subsequent steps of the success or failure determination processing is performed by shifting to the character continuous actuation device if it is not in operation. That is, it is executed if the accessory continuous actuation device is not in operation and the condition device is in operation (the first big hit flag is set to 1). In other words, the processing after S205 in the success or failure judgment processing of this embodiment is executed during the period until the jackpot gaming state is started even if the jackpot symbol is displayed and the condition device is activated. Are configured to
The determination of S200 is a negative judgment, and the special symbol is not changing (S205: no), and if it is not in display of the final symbol (S210: no), it proceeds to S250 of FIG. Determine whether there is a pending storage). If there is this pending storage (S250: yes), the pending storage number is decremented (S255), and the process proceeds to S270. At S270, the oldest of the pending storages is read (the pending storages are erased), and it is determined whether or not the positive change flag is set (ie, 1). Here, the probability change flag 1 means that the current pachinko machine 50 is in a high probability gaming state (also referred to as a probability changing state). If the determination is affirmative (S270: yes), the read jackpot determination random number is compared with the hit value recorded in the probability variation table (S275). Here, the number of hit values is 10, 7 to 16. In other words, the hit probability is 1/30. If a negative determination is made at S270 (S270: no), the random number for determining the hit is collated with the hit value recorded in the normal table at S280. Here, the hit value is 7 only. In other words, the hit probability is 1/300.
That is, S275 and S280 are the pass / fail judgment means for judging whether the numerical data (for example, hold storage) stored in the hold storage means is adequacy based on a predetermined determination probability (for example, 1/30 or 1/300) is there. The predetermined determination probability is 1/300 of the low probability in the normal gaming state, and 1/30 of the high probability in the probability variation gaming state, that is, the high probability gaming state. In this embodiment, after the end of the big hit gaming state, it is configured to be able to shift from the normal gaming state to the probability variation gaming state under the establishment of a predetermined condition.

When the determination of S275 or S280 is performed, it is determined whether it is a big hit or not in S285 (if yes or no), if it is an affirmative determination (S285: yes), a big hit symbol (simply hit the special figure by random number for big hit symbol The symbol is also determined (S290). Thus, when the jackpot symbol is determined, the fluctuation pattern is determined by the fluctuation pattern determination random number or the like (S295), and the jackpot setting process is performed (S300).
Next, processing is performed to transmit information relating to the current gaming state determined to be the big hit, that is, gaming state information, to the sub integrated control device 83 (S312). In other words, the process of sending information about whether the current gaming state at which the determination result in S275 or S280 was a big hit is the normal gaming state (low probability gaming state) or the probability variation gaming state (high probability gaming state) Run.

  If it is determined in S285 that there is a gap, the variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number or the like (S305), and a loss setting process (S310) is performed. In addition, although the fluctuation time is determined based on the fluctuation pattern determined in the fluctuation pattern determination processing of S305, in this processing, the fluctuation pattern to be selected is configured to be different depending on whether or not the current time is the short time gaming state. ing.

  Here, the time saving game state of this embodiment will be described. In the time saving gaming state, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is changed to a shorter time than in the normal gaming state. Further, the opening time of the second starting opening 12 as a normal electric power source which is operated to open when the normal symbol is won is changed to a longer time than the normal gaming state. This increases the possibility of winning per unit time, which is advantageous to the player compared to the normal gaming state. Furthermore, in this embodiment, in addition to this, the variation time of the special symbol is also shortened. The number of times of time reduction is the period during which such a state is maintained is converted into the number of times of variation of the special symbol.

  Next, in the loss setting process of S310, decrement of the number of probability variations (when the probability variation flag is 1) is performed. In addition, decrement processing (when the time saving flag is 1) is also performed. S305 and S310 are structures for executing the time saving game state for a predetermined period of time. Subsequent to S312 or S310, data indicating the above-described lottery results, specifically, data indicating either normal big hit, positive variation big hit, reach out (with out but reach display), or out of reach display And a fluctuation start command (display control command) including data of a fluctuation pattern for specifying a fluctuation time is output to the sub integrated control apparatus 83 (S315). Although the effect symbol display device 6 sets the effect symbol and starts its variable display by the process of S315, the main controller 80 also starts the change of the special symbol almost simultaneously. In addition, when the special symbol is changed, the effect pattern is also changed, and when the effect pattern is changed, the special symbol is also changed. Therefore, it is also simply referred to as "the symbol changes" that these symbols change. . When S315 ends, the jackpot determination process is performed.

When it is determined that the special symbol is changing (S205: yes) in FIG. 8, the process proceeds to S350 in FIG. 10, and the symbol variation time (based on the variation pattern determined in S295 or S305) has elapsed. It is determined whether or not. If the determination is negative (S350: no), the process ends and the process proceeds to the jackpot determination process, and if the determination is affirmative, the final symbol display process (S355) is performed, and the process proceeds to S360. At S360, a symbol determination start command transmission process is executed. That is, a command to the effect that the finalized display of the symbol is started is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 regarding the special symbol and the effect symbol corresponding to the special symbol based on the passage of the fluctuation time of the symbol. After the process of S360, the present process is terminated and the process proceeds to the jackpot determination process.
It should be noted that transmission of the symbol determination start command to the sub integrated control device 83 in S360 is one of a plurality of conditions for the execution period relating to the first pre-reading effect of the present embodiment described later to be started. Are configured to function as one. In the present embodiment, the execution period of the first look-ahead effect is started when all of the plurality of conditions are satisfied.

  When it is determined in FIG. 8 that the final symbol is being displayed (S210: yes), the process proceeds to S400 in FIG. 11, and it is determined whether the final symbol display time has ended. If a negative determination (S400: no), the present processing is terminated and a big hit determination processing is performed, and if a positive determination is made, it is determined whether or not the combination is a big hit after the final symbol display end processing (S405) is performed ( S410). If the positive determination is made, it is determined whether the definite change flag is 1 (S415). If the positive determination is made (S415: yes), the positive change flag is set to 0 (S420), and the process proceeds to S425. If a negative determination is made (S415: no), the process proceeds to S425 as it is.

  In S425, it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is 1. If the time saving flag is 1 (S425: yes), the time saving flag is set to 0 in S430, and the process proceeds to S435. If the time saving flag is not 1 (S425: no), the process proceeds to S435.

At S435, the first jackpot flag is set by the condition device operation start process. The first jackpot flag is a flag that suggests that the jackpot symbol that is the jackpot is finalized and the condition device has been activated by the fact that 1 is set, 1 is set in the S435, and special game processing is performed. It is a flag that is set to 0 in S610 of FIG.
That is, S435 is a means to operate a condition apparatus based on the result of a yes-no decision being a big hit. However, the jackpot gaming state of this embodiment is configured not to start even if the condition device is activated, and to wait for the start of the bonus continuous operation device to start. The structure and effect | action which concern on the accessory continuous action apparatus of a present Example are mentioned later.

  When the condition device operation start process is completed, the jackpot determination process is performed. If it is determined in S410 that the special symbol displayed in a definite manner is not a display that will be a big hit, the process proceeds to S450, and it is determined whether the probability change flag is 1 or not. If it is affirmed determination (S450: yes), it will be determined whether the number of definite variations is 0 (S455). If the number of definite variations is 0 (S455: yes), the certain variation flag is set to 0 in S460, and the process proceeds to S465. When the probability variation flag is not 1 (S450: no) or when the number of probability variation is not 0 (S455: no), the process directly shifts to S465.

  At S465, it is determined whether the time saving flag is 1 or not. If it is 1 (S465: yes), it is determined whether the time saving number is 0 or not (S470). If the time saving number is 0 (S470: yes), the time saving flag is set to 0 in S475, and the process proceeds to S480. When the time saving number is not 0 (S470: no) or when the time saving flag is not 1 (S465: no), the process directly shifts to S480.

  S450, S455, and S460 are configured to function to execute the probability variation gaming state for the number of probability variations as a predetermined predetermined period. Further, S465, S470, and S475 are configured to function to execute the time saving game state for the number of times reduced as a predetermined predetermined period.

  At S480, a state designation command indicating a state such as whether or not the current gaming state is in a definite state, or whether or not the time is short is sent to the sub integrated control device 83, and the process shifts to the jackpot determination process. If it is determined in S200 of FIG. 7 that the condition device is in operation, the process also proceeds to the jackpot determination process.

Here, various gain selection tables and the like to be referred to in the jackpot determination process described later will be described with reference to FIGS. 22 and 23 are tables for explaining various gain determination random numbers and various selection tables used by the main control device 80 in the big hit determination process.
First, in FIG. 22A, as described above, the amount of gain aspects (for example, the number of rounds and the number of times for short) in various acquisition gains (for example, big hit gaming state and short time gaming state) is determined in this embodiment The configuration and extraction timing of the jackpot symbol determination random number and the gain determination random number used for the purpose are shown. About the said explanation, since it went ahead, it omits here.

FIG. 22 (b) shows various symbols corresponding to the jackpot symbol determination random number and the type of jackpot. In the jackpot symbol determination buffer, ten random numbers from 0 to 9 as the jackpot symbol determination random numbers are set. Furthermore, it is executed when a big hit symbol displayed on the special view display device 9 and a decorative symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 and the corresponding symbol are displayed corresponding to the respective random number values. The type of jackpot is set.
For example, when the jackpot symbol determination random number is “0”, the jackpot symbol is “symbol 0”, the decorative symbol is “777”, and the jackpot type is “direct hit certainty big hit”. Incidentally, in the case of a direct hit probability variation, regardless of whether the gaming ball passes through the first gate 18 or the second gate 19, which will be described later, the number of rounds of the jackpot gaming state is 16R, The number of times of 100 is a jackpot type that is unconditionally determined.
Also, when the jackpot symbol determination random number is “1” to “9”, the jackpot symbol is “symbol 1” to “symbol 9”.
In addition, when the big hit design is “design 1” and “design 2”, the decoration design is “333”, and in the case of “design 3” and “design 4”, it is “555”, “design 5” to “design 7 In the case of "", it becomes "222", and in the case of "pattern 8" and "pattern 9", it becomes "444".
Furthermore, when the decorative symbol is "333" or "555", the big hit type is a definite variation big hit where the lottery probability of the success or failure lottery is high probability, and in the case of "222" or "444", the big hit type is the lottery probability of success or failure lottery Is usually a big hit with a low probability.

  Next, referring to FIG. 22C, after the condition device is activated in the condition device operation start processing of S 435 described above, which gate of the first gate 18 or the second gate 19 has passed the game ball? Also, in the various selection tables to be selected based on which big hit symbol is displayed (in the present embodiment, regardless of the symbol type displayed and displayed regardless of which symbol type) The types will be described. When the game ball passes through the first gate 18 in the "round number determination game" of this embodiment described later, the jackpot symbol is any of the symbols "symbol 0" to "symbol 9" when determining the number of rounds. Even, the number-of-rounds selection table 00 is used. Similarly, when the game ball passes through the second gate 19, the round number selection table 01 is used to determine the number of rounds, regardless of whether the jackpot symbol is "symbol 0" or "symbol 9". Use. Also, similarly, when the game ball passes through the first gate 18, when determining the time reduction number, the time reduction number selection table 10 is used regardless of whether the jackpot symbol is any of the symbols "symbol 0" to "symbol 9". Use. Similarly, when the gaming ball passes through the second gate 19, the time-shortening selection table 11 is used to determine the number of shorting times, regardless of whether the jackpot symbol is any of "symbol 0" to "symbol 9".

Next, the various selection tables described above will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 23A shows the set contents of the number-of-rounds selection table 00. As illustrated, when the jackpot symbol determination random number is 0, 16 rounds are selected, and in the case of 1 to 9, 10 rounds are selected.
FIG. 23B shows the setting contents of the round number selection table 01. As illustrated, when the jackpot symbol determination random number is 0, the number of rounds is selected to be 16 regardless of the gain determination random numbers 0 to 9, that is, regardless of the value of the gain determination random number. When the jackpot symbol determination random number is 1 to 9, and the gain determination random number is 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, the number of rounds is 4 rounds. Furthermore, in the case where the jackpot symbol determination random number is 1 to 9, and the gain determination random number is 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, the number of rounds is 16 rounds.

That is, when selecting and determining the number of rounds as the content of the big hit game, the number of rounds selection table 00 referred to when passing through the first gate 18 and the number of rounds referenced when passing through the second gate 19 Compared with Table 01, the selection ratio of the number of rounds is configured to be different.
For the sake of convenience, the case where the random number for determining the big hit symbol which is the direct hit certainty variation is 0 is excluded, that is, the case where the random number for determining the big hit symbol is 1 to 9 will be described in detail. The number of rounds is four, ten and sixteen. In the number-of-rounds selection table 00, the selection rate of the number of rounds is 0% for 4 rounds, 100% for 10 rounds, and 0% for 16 rounds. In the number-of-rounds selection table 01, the selection rate of the number of rounds is 50% for four rounds, 0% for ten rounds, and 50% for sixteen rounds. As described above, the first gate 18 and the second gate 19 are configured to have different selection rates with respect to the number of rounds in the jackpot gaming state determined based on the passage of gaming balls.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the number-of-rounds selection table 00 and the number-of-rounds selection table 01, the common number of rounds is not set in both tables except for 16 rounds when the big hit symbol determination random number is 0. Not limited to this, it is needless to say that the number of rounds common to both sides is set, and the selection rate of these may be different. For example, 10 rounds may be added to the round number selection table 01 and set. That is, four rounds are set when the random numbers for gain determination are 0, 2, 4 and 6, 10 rounds when 1 and 8 and 16 rounds when 3, 5, 7 and 9. As a result, while the selectivity for selecting 10 rounds in the number-of-rounds selection table 00 is 100%, the selectivity for selecting 10 rounds in the number-of-rounds selection table 01 is 20%, and different selectivity Become.
The same configuration is permitted in the time reduction selection tables 10 and 11 described later.

Here, in the above description, the case where the random number for determining the big hit symbol becoming the direct hit probability variation big hit omitted for convenience is 0 will be described with reference to FIGS. 23 (a) and (b).
In the present embodiment, when the extracted jackpot symbol determination random number is 0, both of the round number selection table 00 and the round number selection table 01 are 16R direct hit probability variation big hits. That is, when the jackpot symbol determination random number is 0, it does not matter whether the game ball passes through either the first gate 18 or the second gate 19, that is, with the same selectivity of 100% when passing through either gate A direct hit probability variation big hit is selected in which the number of rounds of 16 rounds, which is the content of the big hit game, is executed.

FIG. 23C shows the setting contents of the time saving number selection table 10. As illustrated, when the jackpot symbol determination random number is 0, 100 times of time reduction is selected, and in the case of 1 to 9, 50 times are selected.
FIG. 23D shows the setting contents of the time saving selection table 11. As shown in the drawing, when the jackpot symbol determination random number is 0, the number of time-savings is selected 100 times regardless of the gain determination random numbers 0 to 9, that is, the value of the gain determination random number. In the case where the jackpot symbol determination random number is 1 to 9, and the gain determination random number is 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, the time saving number is selected to be 10 times. Furthermore, in the case where the jackpot symbol determination random number is 1 to 9, and the gain determination random number is 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9, 100 times of time reduction is selected.

That is, in the case of selecting and determining the number of times of time reduction, the time reduction number of times selection table 10 referred to when passing through the first gate 18 is compared with the time reduction number of times selection table 11 referred to when passing through the second gate 19 Then, the selection rate of the time saving number is configured to be different.
For the sake of convenience, the case where the random number for determining the big hit symbol which is the direct hit certainty variation is 0 is excluded, that is, the case where the random number for determining the big hit symbol is 1 to 9 will be described in detail. There are 10 times, 50 times, and 100 times of time saving. In the time saving selection table 10, the selection rate for each time reduction is 0% for 10 times, 100% for 50 times, and 0% for 100 times. Further, in the time saving number selection table 11, the selectivity of each time saving number is 50% in 10 times, 0% in 50 times, and 50% in 100 times. As described above, the first gate 18 and the second gate 19 are configured to have different selection rates with respect to the number of times in the short game state after the end of the big hit game state determined based on the passage of the game ball .
As described above, even in the case where one selectivity is 0% and the other selectivity is 100%, for example, as in the case where the number of time reductions is 50, the selectivity is included in different states.

  Next, a big hit determination process 1 for determining at least the number of rounds as the content of the big hit game by using the various selection tables as described above will be described with reference to FIG. In addition to the determination of the number of rounds, the jackpot determination process 1 is configured to determine even the number of time savings as the content of the game after the end of the jackpot game.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the jackpot determination process 1 executed by the main control apparatus 80 of the present embodiment. As described above, main controller 80 executes the process for each 2 ms fixed interrupt.
First, in S710, main controller 80 determines whether the condition device is in operation. That is, it is determined whether or not the condition device has been started in the condition device operation start process of S435, that is, whether or not 1 is set in the first big hit flag. If the determination is negative (S710: no), the process ends, and the process proceeds to the special game process. If the determination is affirmative (S710: yes), the process proceeds to S715.
That is, the processing of S715 and subsequent steps in the jackpot determination process of the present embodiment is not performed when the condition device is not operating at all, and is shifted and performed when the condition device is operating.

Next, the main control device 80 determines in S715 whether or not the accessory continuous actuation device is in operation. That is, it is determined whether or not the big hit gaming state is being executed based on whether or not 1 is set in the second big hit flag. The second jackpot flag is set to 1 on the basis of the fact that the character continuous actuation device has been activated in S760 described later. If the determination is in the affirmative in S715 (S715: yes), this process ends, and if the determination is negative (S715: no), the process proceeds to S720.
Note that the processing of S720 and below in the big hit determination processing of the present embodiment is not executed when the character continuous actuation device is operating. That is, it is a process that can be performed in a state where the condition device is operating but the accessory continuous operating device is not yet operating.
That is, to be affirmed determination at S710 (S710: yes) and to be a negative determination at S715 (S715: no) indicates that it is determined to be a big hit by the special symbol determination and further wins It means that it is after the jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed, but it is still before the jackpot gaming state starts to be executed.

  In S720, main controller 80 performs drive control processing related to distribution member 17 of distribution device 16, and shifts the processing to S725.

  In S725, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the first gate SW 18a has detected a game ball. If the determination is affirmative (S725: yes), the process proceeds to S730, and if the determination is negative (S725: no), the process proceeds to S735.

  In S730, main controller 80 executes processing to select the number of rounds in the big hit gaming state based on round number selection table 00 (see FIG. 22C and FIG. 23A), and shifts the processing to S750. Do.

Although not shown, the main control unit 80 also executes the process of selecting the number of times in the big hit gaming state based on the time reduction number selection table 10 (refer to FIG. 22C and FIG. 23C) in S730. Do.
That is, when the first gate SW 18a detects a game ball, the round number selection table 00 is referred to for the round number, and the time reduction number selection table 10 is referred to for the time reduction number. Then, the number of rounds and the number of time-savings set in each selection table are selected corresponding to the big hit symbol that triggered the condition device operation this time. The details of the specific selection are as described above.

  In S735, main controller 80 determines whether second gate SW 19a has detected a game ball or not. If the determination is affirmative (S735: yes), the process proceeds to S740. If the determination is negative (S735: no), the process ends.

In S740, main controller 80 executes a process of extracting a gain determination random number, and shifts the process to S745.
The random number for gain determination is extracted based on the detection signal generation of the second gate SW 19a, and a random number (numerical value for selecting whether the number of rounds which is the game content of the big hit is 4 rounds or 16 rounds) Data).

  In S745, main controller 80 executes processing for selecting the number of rounds in the big hit gaming state based on the number of rounds selection table 01 (see FIG. 22C and FIG. 23B), and shifts the processing to S750. Do.

Although not shown, the main control unit 80 also executes a process of selecting the number of times in the big hit gaming state on the basis of the time reduction number selection table 11 (refer to FIG. 22C and FIG. 23D) in S745. Do.
That is, when the second gate SW 19a detects a game ball, the number-of-rounds selection table 01 is referred to for the number of rounds, and the number-of-times reduction table 11 is referred to for the number of time savings. Then, the number of rounds and the number of times set in each selection table are selected in correspondence to the jackpot symbol that has triggered the condition device operation this time and the random number for gain determination. The details of the specific selection are as described above.

  That is, S730 and S745 are triggered by the game ball having passed to the first gate 18 or the second gate 19, that is, due to the generation of the game ball detection signal by the first gate SW 18a or the second gate SW 19a, the big hit Determine the number of rounds as the content of the game.

  In S750, main controller 80 executes a process of transmitting to sub integrated control device 83 a gate passage command relating to which of the first gate 18 and second gate 19 the gaming ball has passed. Transfer the process to S755.

  In S755, main controller 80 executes a process of setting the number of rounds and the number of times of time saving, and shifts the process to S760. That is, the number of rounds and the number of times of time saving selected in S730 and S745 described above are stored and set in a predetermined storage buffer.

  In S760, main controller 80 executes processing to start the operation of the character continuously operating device, and shifts the processing to S765. At this time, a process of setting 1 to the second jackpot flag is also performed. As described above, S760 is a means for starting the operation of the accessory continuously operating device when the gaming ball passes the first gate 18 or the second gate 19.

In S765, main controller 80 performs jackpot start effect processing, terminates this processing, and shifts to special game processing. In the big hit start effect processing, the command to start the big hit game and information related to the big hit game (big hit opening time, opening pattern, big hit ending time, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83.
Next, special game processing to be executed subsequently to the jackpot determination processing will be described.

  The outline of the special game processing is as shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, and the main control device 80 is based on whether or not the second consecutive hit flag is set to 1 whether or not the continuous game actuating device is in operation. To judge (S500). If the prize continuous actuation device is in operation (S500: yes), it is determined whether the special winning opening 20 is open (S505). If the special winning opening 20 is not open (S505: no), it is determined whether the special winning opening 20 is closed during the interval between rounds (S510). If it is not during the interval (S510: no), it is judged whether or not the jackpot end effect is under way (S515). If this is also a negative determination (S515: no), it is determined whether the time required for the effect to start the big hit game has passed (S520). When the jackpot start presentation time has elapsed (S520: yes), the special winning opening opening process (S525) is performed and this process is ended (return). If the jackpot start presentation time has not elapsed (S520: no), this processing ends.

  If it is determined in S505 that the special winning opening 20 is in the open state, the process proceeds to S550 in FIG. 14 to determine whether 10 winning combinations have been made in the special winning opening 20. In the present embodiment, the number is ten, but may be nine or eight, and is not particularly limited. Note that the shutter opened in the big hit determination process remains open during the big hit game, and the gaming ball that has flowed out of the outlet 16 b through the gate on the opened side goes to the big winning opening 20. In addition, there is a possibility that the game ball overflowing from the holding section on the side where the shutter is not released may also be won in the big winning opening 20. If ten prizes have been won in the special winning opening 20 (S550: yes), the process proceeds to S560, and a special winning opening closing process is performed. The number of ball entry into the special winning opening 20 (in this case, 10) at which the special winning opening 20 is to be closed in this way is referred to as a prescribed number. Then, a big hit interval process (S565) is performed, and the special game process is ended. If ten of the special winning openings 20 have not been won (S550: no), the processing proceeds to S555, and it is determined whether the opening time of the special opening 20 has ended. In the present embodiment, the maximum opening time of each round is set to 29 seconds. Of course, it is not limited to this number of seconds. If the opening time is over (S 555: yes), the process joins S 560. If the opening time is not over (S 555: no), the special game process is ended.

  If it is determined in S510 of FIG. 13 that the interval is in progress, the process proceeds to S570 of FIG. 14 and it is determined whether the big hit interval time has elapsed. If the interval time has elapsed (S570: yes), it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 20 has been open immediately before the final round (S575). If it is the final round (S575: yes), the jackpot end effect processing (S580) is performed, and the special game processing is ended. If it is not the final round (S575: no), a process (S585) to open the special winning opening 20 again is performed, and the special game process is ended. If it is determined that the big hit interval time has not elapsed (S570: no), the special game processing is ended as it is. In the process of opening and closing the special winning opening 20, a signal is also transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. The sub integrated control device 83 grasps the current round based on the signal, and performs an effect corresponding to the round.

If it is determined in S515 of FIG. 13 that a big hit end effect is being performed, the process proceeds to S600 of FIG. 15, and it is determined whether the big hit end effect time has elapsed. If the jackpot end presentation time has elapsed (S600: yes), the operation of the accessory continuously operating device is stopped (S605), and the operation of the condition device is stopped (S610).
In addition, when stopping the operation of the bonus product continuous operation device in S605, the second jackpot flag is set to 0. When stopping the operation of the condition device in S610, the first jackpot flag is set to 0.
Then, in S615, it is determined whether or not to shift to the positive variation state after the big hit ends, and if the positive determination (S615: yes), the positive variation number setting process (S620) is performed. Here, 10000 times is set as the number of probability variations. Then, the probability change flag is set to 1 (S625), and the process proceeds to S630. If the determination in step S615 is negative, the process proceeds to step S630.
As described above, in the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment, the processing of S615, S620, and S625 causes the predetermined determination probability (probability determination probability) in the propriety determination of the special symbol to be low after the end of the big hit game, for example. It is configured to be able to shift from a normal gaming state to a certain 1/300 to a probability changing gaming state (a high probability gaming state) to a high probability of 1/30.
In S630, it is determined whether or not to shift to a time saving state (also referred to as a time saving gaming state) after the big hit ends. In the case of a positive determination (S630: yes), the process proceeds to S635, and a time saving setting process is performed. Then, the time saving flag is set to 1 (S640), and the process proceeds to S645. If the determination in step S630 is negative, the process proceeds to step S645.

  As described above, according to the processing of S630, S635, and S640, after the end of the big hit gaming state, the time saving gaming state is executed over the set number of times. The time saving game state is a game state advantageous to the player as compared with the normal game state.

Then, the big hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S645), the state designation command transmission process is executed (S650), and the special game process is ended (return). The contents of the state designation command transmission process (S650) are the same as the process of S480. If it is determined in S600 that the jackpot end effect time has not elapsed, the special game processing is ended as it is. If it is determined in FIG. 13 that the bonus continuous operating device is not operating (S500: no), the special game processing is also ended.
That is, in the special game process of this embodiment, the special winning opening is opened only a plurality of times based on the activation of the accessory continuous operation device after the condition device is activated, and the predetermined profit determined in advance is given to the player It is a big hit game control means which makes it a big hit game state to offer.

  The following will describe the suspension display start process (FIG. 16 and FIG. 17), the suspension display change process (FIG. 18), and the gate passing process (FIG. 19) which are the main parts of the present invention executed by the sub integrated control device 83. . In addition, in these main parts, so-called and pre-reading effect using a reservation symbol concerning reservation storage is performed. In this embodiment, as a feature, "prefetching effect during change" which is executed during general symbol change and after the big hit symbol is confirmed and executed and before the big hit game is started It is equipped with "pre-reading effect after symbol determination". In addition, the holding symbol displayed when the pre-reading effect of a present Example is performed is equipped with the common holding symbol. Prior to the description of each of the above processes, which are the main part of the present invention, a more detailed description of the reserved symbol will be made with reference to FIG.

FIG. 24 (b) shows a reserved character as a prefetch holding symbol displayed at the time of the prefetching effect execution of this embodiment.
There are four types of holding characters: a normal holding character, a special holding character 1, a special holding character 2, and a special holding character 3. Both reserved characters are based on circular figures.
The normal hold character is displayed as an open circular figure. The normal hold character is displayed as a hold symbol when the pre-reading effect is not executed.
The special hold character 1 is a small yellow flame stylized, the special hold character 2 is a small red flame stylized, and the special hold character 3 is a large red flame stylized It is a thing.

In the present embodiment, two types of pre-reading effects are provided as described above as pre-reading effects to be executed by displaying such a reserved character. The appearance rate and the like of the reserved character in each pre-reading effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 24 (c) and 24 (d).
As shown in FIG. 24C, in the pre-reading effect executed during general so-called variable display, when the result of the pass / fail judgment is a loss, the appearance rate of the normal hold character is 200/200. When the determination result of normality is normal reach, the appearance rate of the normal hold character is 150/200, and the appearance rate of the special hold character 1 is 50/200.
When the result of the determination is super reach, the appearance rate of the normal hold character is 120/200, the appearance rate of the special hold character 1 is 30/200, and the appearance rate of the special hold character 2 is 50/200. . Furthermore, when the result of the judgment is a big hit, the appearance rate of the normal hold character is 120/200, the appearance rate of the special hold character 1 is 20/200, and the appearance rate of the special hold character 2 is 40/200. The appearance rate of the special hold character 3 is 20/200.
Further, as shown in FIG. 24 (d), the pre-reading effect to be executed after the symbol determination which is the feature of the present embodiment is configured to be executed only in the case of a big hit determination result, and the execution thereof In this case, the special hold character 3 is displayed. Therefore, the reliability when the special hold character 3 is displayed is 100%.
Thus, in the pre-reading effect executed during the variable display, when the pre-reading effect is executed based on the pre-reading commands 1 to 3 received by the sub integrated control device 83, three types of special holding characters 1 to 3 are provided. It is selected from the inside. Further, in the pre-reading effect to be executed after symbol determination, only the special holding character 3 is selected.

Further, in the present embodiment, even if any of the special suspension characters 1 to 3 is displayed by the pre-reading effect performed during the variable display, the result of the variable display may be a big hit or a loss. It is supposed to be. Further, in the pre-reading effect executed after the symbol is determined, when the special hold character 3 is displayed, the result of the variable display based on the hold storage is always a big hit.
Describing this point in detail, in the prefetching effect executed during the variable display, when the prefetch command 2 or the prefetch command 3 is transmitted and set in the prefetch determination process (FIG. 7) and then transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 And one of the special hold characters 1 to 3 is displayed. That is, in the prefetching effect executed during the variable display, even in the case where the result is a big hit (when the big hit determination random number is the first specific value), or in the case of various reach (the reach determination random number is the second specific value) ), But some special hold character is displayed. Therefore, even if any special reserved character (1 or 2.3 is always a big hit) is displayed, it is set so that it may be a so-called false or lost.
On the other hand, in the pre-read effect executed after symbol determination, the special hold character 3 is displayed only when the result is a big hit (when the big hit determination random number is the first specific value), ie, any special hold character Whenever is displayed, it is configured to be a big hit.
Furthermore, there is a difference in reliability because any special hold character is displayed in any of the pre-reading effects performed during the variable display of the present embodiment and the pre-reading effects performed after symbol determination. Also, it suggests that it will be a big hit (the big hit determination random number is the first specific value).
In the above, the hold symbol (hold character) of this embodiment and each pre-reading effect which displays the hold symbol have been described. Next, the hold display start process, the hold display change process, and the gate passing process related to the execution of each pre-reading effect will be described.

FIG. 16 and FIG. 17 are flowcharts 1 and 2 of the suspension display start process 1 executed by the sub integrated control apparatus 83 of this embodiment.
The pending display start process is a process of determining and executing what pending symbol is to be displayed when a new start winning combination occurs, and is realized by the sub integrated control device 83 by interruption every predetermined time (for example, 2 msec) Processing.

At S800, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 determines whether or not the hold information has been received. If the determination is affirmative (S800: yes), the process proceeds to S805; if the determination is negative (S800: no), the process ends.
That is, it is determined whether or not the hold information has been transmitted to sub integrated control device 83 in the hold information transmission process (S 120) of the start prize confirmation process (FIG. 6) by the main controller 80 while the start prize has occurred. I do. The hold information, as described above, is either hit or miss including the various pre-read commands etc. set to be transmitted in the pre-read determination process of S115, which is information relating to the stored hold, ie, reach. It is information concerning pending storage such as whether or not.

In S805, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the jackpot symbol is currently being displayed. If the determination is affirmative (S805: yes), the process proceeds to S845 (FIG. 17). If the determination is negative (S805: no), the process proceeds to S810.
That is, the processing of S810 to S840 to shift to the case of negative determination (S805: no) is the processing executed during the change of the special symbol, and the processing of S845 to S860 to shift to the case of positive determination (S805: yes) A process is a process performed after a big hit design is determined display.

  In S810, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not a thing that becomes a big hit is included in the pending storage other than the pending storage related to the pending information received this time. If the determination is affirmative (S810: yes), the process proceeds to S820. If the determination is negative (S810: no), the process proceeds to S815.

  In S815, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the prefetch holding symbol (for example, special holding characters 1 to 3; see FIG. 24) is currently being displayed. If the determination is affirmative (S815: yes), the process proceeds to S820; if the determination is negative (S815: no), the process proceeds to S825.

In S825, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 executes pre-reading determination processing, and shifts the processing to S830.
That is, whether or not to execute the pre-reading effect for displaying the special holding characters 1 to 3 described above, and if it is to be executed, any content (any one of the normal holding character and the special holding characters 1 to 3 as the pre-reading holding symbol And the like are determined based on various prefetch commands received from the main control device 80.

In S830, the sub integrated control device 83 refers to the determination result of the pre-reading determination process, and determines whether or not to display the pre-reading holding symbol. If the determination is affirmative (S830: yes), the process proceeds to S835; if the determination is negative (S830: no), the process proceeds to S840.
At this time, if it is to be displayed, it is also determined at the same time it is to be displayed which pre-reading hold symbol.

At S 835, the sub integrated control device 83 displays the prefetch holding symbol (any one of the special holding characters 1 to 3) on the effect symbol display device 6 as a holding symbol of the holding storage related to the holding information received this time Control to end this process.
That is, in S 835, based on the numerical data relating to the pending storage that occurred this time, it is a process of executing a pre-reading effect that indicates that the jackpot determination random number is the first specific value before the jackpot is executed. . Note that, in S835, even when the jackpot does not result in a jackpot (when the jackpot determination random number is not the first specific value), a so-called display is also executed.
In addition, S 835 is executed in a state where the big hit symbol is not fixedly displayed, and a period different from the first pre-reading effect execution period described later, that is, at least a period when the big hit symbol is not fixedly displayed (second It is executed in the pre-reading effect execution period).

  In S840, the sub integrated control device 83 controls a normal holding symbol (normally holding character) to be displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 as a holding symbol of the holding storage related to the holding information received this time, and the present processing is ended. Do.

In S845, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 determines whether the setting value of the effect period flag is 1. If the determination is affirmative (S845: yes), the process proceeds to S855; if the determination is negative (S845: no), the process proceeds to S850.
The effect period flag is a flag in which 1 is set in S885 of the suspension display changing process (FIG. 18) described later (FIG. 18), and 0 is set in S910 of the gate passing process (FIG. 19). It is a flag which suggests that it is during the first pre-reading effect execution period by something. The first pre-reading effect execution period is a period for executing pre-reading effect after confirmation, starting with at least the condition that the big hit symbol is displayed as a result of being determined as a big hit by the pass / fail judgment, and symbol displaying On the condition that the game ball passes through the first gate 18 or the second gate 19.

  In S855, the sub integrated control device 83 includes at least the prefetch command 3 (the command received when the jackpot determination random number is the first specific value) in which the prefetch information belonging to the hold information received this time is a big hit It is determined whether or not If the determination is affirmative (S855: yes), the process proceeds to S860, and if the determination is negative (S855: no), the process proceeds to S850.

  In S850, the sub integrated control device 83 controls to display a normal holding symbol (normal holding character) on the effect symbol display device 6 as a holding symbol of the holding storage related to the holding information received this time, and ends this processing. Do.

In S860, the sub integrated control device 83 controls to display the prefetch holding symbol (special holding character 3) on the effect symbol display device 6 as the holding symbol of the holding storage related to the holding information received this time, and this processing is performed finish.
In S860, the pre-reading suspension symbol is displayed only in the case of a big hit, and so-called squeeze display in which the pre-reading suspension symbol is displayed is not executed although it results in a loss. Further, in the case of the present embodiment, the special hold character 3 is displayed as the prefetch holding symbol displayed at this time.
That is, in S860, based on the numerical data relating to the pending storage that occurred this time, it is a process of executing a pre-reading effect that suggests that the jackpot determination random number is the first specific value before the jackpot is executed. . It should be noted that, in S860, when the big hit does not occur (when the big hit determination random number is other than the first specific value), it is not executed.
In addition, S860 is executed while the jackpot symbol is determined and displayed. That is, the pre-reading effect for the pending storage stored later than the pending storage causing the jackpot symbol to be determined and displayed is executed in the above-described first pre-reading effect execution period.

In S820, the sub integrated control device 83 controls to display the normal holding symbol (normal holding character) on the effect symbol display device 6 as the holding symbol of the holding storage related to the holding information received this time, and the present processing is ended. Do.
By having S820, when what becomes a big hit is included in any of the pending storage before the pending information received this time, the process of S 835 is not performed, and the normal pending symbol is displayed. There is. If S835 is executed regardless of the presence or absence of the hit in the pending storage, the pending symbol is displayed not only in the case of the prefetch command 3 (big hit) but also in the case of the prefetch command 2 (reach loss) as described above. It will be done. Even if the variable display relating to the hold storage serving as the big hit is executed and confirmed before the displayed prefetch holding symbol is displayed, the displayed prefetch holding symbol is maintained as it is. Temporarily, when the said pre-reading reservation symbol is based on pre-reading command 2 (reach loss), it will contradict with the effect | action of displaying a pre-reading reservation symbol only when it becomes big hit by S855 and S860 mentioned above. However, by providing this point, S810 and S820, it is possible to secure the reliability by the pre-reading effect while the big hit symbol is determined and displayed.
In addition, S820 is provided as processing to shift also at the time of affirmation determination in S815 (S815: yes), so that a big hit does not occur in the pending storage already stored other than the received pending (prefetch command 2 While the pre-read holding symbol is being displayed, the received holding is normally indicated by a holding symbol. Thereby, a plurality of prefetching holding symbols are not displayed in the holding memory. In addition, even when the received hold is a big hit by this function, the normal hold symbol is displayed when the prefetch hold symbol is already displayed.

  Next, the pending display change process will be described with reference to FIG. The pending display changing process is a process of changing the pending symbol already displayed when the variable display is finished and the symbol is determined and displayed, and is interrupted by the sub integrated control device 83 every predetermined time (for example, 2 msec) It is a process to be realized. FIG. 18 is a flowchart 1 of the pending display change process 1 executed by the sub integrated control apparatus 83.

In S865, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the symbol determination start command has been received. If the determination is affirmative (S865: yes), the process proceeds to S870, and if the determination is negative (S865: no), the process ends.
The symbol determination start command is a command transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 in S360 of the determination processing (FIG. 10) executed by the main control device 80. Therefore, the process after S870 of this process is not performed other than the timing to which a symbol is decided.
Moreover, in the case of affirmation determination in S865, it is after the production design 91 of the production design display 6 displays some final design, and if it is a big hit, it will be after the production design 91 is displayed by the big hit design.

In S870, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 determines whether the received gaming state information indicates the normal gaming state. If the determination is affirmative (S870: yes), the process proceeds to S875, and if the determination is negative (S870: no), the process ends.
The game state information is a command transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 in S312 of the success / failure determination process (FIG. 9) executed by the main controller 80, and as described above, the game state at the time of being determined as a big hit Is a command comprising information such as whether it is a normal gaming state or a definite variation gaming state.

In S875, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the determined symbol targeted by the received symbol determination start command is a big hit symbol, that is, whether or not a big hit gaming state is generated by the current determined display. If the determination is affirmative (S875: yes), the process proceeds to S880, and if the determination is negative (S875: no), the process ends.
As described above, the symbol determination start command is a command transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 in S360 of the success or failure determination process (FIG. 10).

  In S880, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the final symbol targeted by the received symbol finalization start command is other than the symbol serving as the 16 R direct hit probability variation big hit. If the determination is affirmative (S880: yes), the process proceeds to S885; if the determination is negative (S880: no), the process ends.

In S885, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 sets 1 to the effect period flag and shifts the processing to S890.
As described above, the effect period flag is a flag that indicates that 1 is set, thereby indicating that the first look-ahead effect execution period is being performed. That is, thereby, the first pre-reading effect execution period is started. Note that the effect period flag is set to 0 in S910 of the gate passing process (FIG. 19) described later, whereby the first prefetch effect execution period ends.

In S890, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 determines whether or not there is a big hit in the pending storage. If the determination is affirmative (S890: yes), the process proceeds to S895, and if the determination is negative (S890: no), the process ends.
That is, it is determined whether or not a big hit game is to be generated again as a result of the fluctuation display within the number of holding upper limits after the end of the big hit game based on the big hit symbol currently displayed.

In S895, the sub integrated control device 83 performs processing for changing the holding symbol of the thing that becomes the big hit in the holding storage to the prefetch holding symbol, and ends this processing.
That is, in S895, before the judgment of success or failure at the start of fluctuation, the pre-reading effect is executed which suggests that the numerical data stored as pending storage will be a big hit (if the big hit determination random number is the first specific value) Do. In S895, when it does not become a big hit (when the big hit determination random number is not the first specific value), that is, so-called display is not performed.
In S895, when the big hit symbol is confirmed (after), in other words, after the big hit symbol is confirmed and before the game ball passes through the first gate 18 or the second gate 19, That is, it is executed in a period in which the effect period flag is set to 1 (first prefetch effect execution period). Further, in S895, the pre-reading effect is executed for the pending storage stored later than the one in which the big hit symbol is determined and displayed, and the pre-reading effect is pre-reading effect after confirmation.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, one of the conditions is that the gaming state at the time of the success or failure determination resulting in the final display of the jackpot symbol in the determination processing of S 870 is the normal gaming state, By setting 1 to the effect period flag (S885), the first pre-reading effect execution period is started, and pre-reading effect after symbol determination is performed in S895.

  In addition, as described above, in the present embodiment, if the big hit that occurs when the big hit symbol is determined and displayed in the determination processing of S 880 is a big hit game other than the 16 R direct hit probability big hit, this is a condition As one of the effects, the presentation period flag is set to 1 (S885) to start the first pre-reading effect execution period, and pre-reading effect after symbol determination is performed in S895. In other words, when it is determined that the hit is determined to be a 16R direct hit probability variation big hit game, the pre-reading effect is not executed in a period in which the effect period flag is set to 1 (first pre-reading effect execution period) It is configured.

  Next, gate passage processing will be described with reference to FIG. The gate passing process is a process of determining the end of the first pre-reading effect execution period, and is a process realized by the sub integrated control device 83 by interruption every predetermined time (for example, 2 msec). FIG. 19 is a flowchart of gate passage processing executed by the sub integrated control device 83.

  In S900, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the final display of the jackpot symbol is in progress. If the determination is affirmative (S900: yes), the process proceeds to S905, and if the determination is negative (S900: no), the process ends.

In step S905, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether a gate passing command has been received. If the determination is affirmative (S905: yes), the process proceeds to S910; if the determination is negative (S905: no), the process ends.
As described above, in the gate passing command, in S750 of the main control device 80 in the big hit determination process (FIG. 12), the information regarding whether the gaming ball has passed through the first gate 18 or the second gate 19 This is a command for transmitting to the sub integrated control device 83.

In S910, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 sets 0 to the effect period flag, and shifts the processing to S915.
That is, by setting the effect period flag from 1 to 0, the first prefetch effect execution period is ended.

In S915, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 executes a process of changing the prefetch holding symbol to the normal holding symbol, and ends the present process.
That is, when the prefetch holding symbol is displayed by the prefetch effect during the first prefetch effect executing period, the symbol is changed to the normal holding symbol with the end of the first prefetch effect executing period.

Next, the display mode of the image display performed by the sub integrated control apparatus 83 in the first embodiment when the prefetch effect display is performed by the control process as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 to 28. Do.
FIGS. 25 (a) to 25 (h) show the display mode of the general pre-reading effect during the symbol change of this embodiment, and more specifically, even if the pre-reading effect is performed, the result of the variable display is lost The case is shown.
In FIG. 25 (a), a normal holding symbol 93, which is a normal holding character that suggests holding memory, is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6, and the effect symbol 91 is changing. At this time, holding storage is newly generated by the start winning combination, and S835 of the holding display starting process (FIG. 16) is executed, that is, there is no big hit in the holding storage, and no prefetch holding symbol is displayed, Furthermore, when it is determined that the prefetch holding symbol is to be displayed in the prefetch determination and executed, the prefetch holding symbol 94 which is the special suspension character 1 is started to be displayed.
The effect pattern 91 during the change is fixedly displayed with the lost symbol of “114” (FIG. 25 (c)), and then the variable display based on the normal hold pattern 93 is started (FIG. 25 (d)) When a retention storage occurs due to a new start winning combination, the display of the normally reserved symbol 95 is started (FIG. 25 (e)). This display process is the result of the process in S820 after the negative determination in S815 of the hold display start process (FIG. 16) because the prefetch hold symbol 94 has already been displayed. In addition, even if it is what becomes a big hit (the random number for big hit determination is the first specific value), the pending storage corresponding to the new normal pending symbol 95 displays the normal pending symbol 95 as a result of the processing in S820. become.
Then, the effect pattern 91 during the change is finalized with the lost symbol of "354" (FIG. 25 (f)), and then the change display based on the pre-reading suspension pattern 94 is started (FIG. 25 (g)) During the new start winning combination, the suspension storage occurs, and the variable display based on the prefetch suspension symbol 94 is fixedly displayed with the lost symbol “422” (FIG. 25 (h)).

Next, in FIGS. 26 and 27, the result of general pre-reading effect during the symbol change of this example becomes a big hit, and the case of performing pre-reading effect after symbol determination in the period from the big hit finalized display to the gate passing It shows.
FIG. 26 (a) shows the same display mode as FIG. 25 (f), except that the prefetch symbol 96 is a big hit (the big hit determination random number is a first specific value). The variable display based on the prefetch hold symbol 94 is started, and the hold storage is generated by the new start winning combination, and the normal hold symbol 96 is started to be displayed (FIG. 26 (b)), FIG. 26 (c) to FIG. The reach effect indication is developed as shown in f). Under the present circumstances, the production | presentation design 91 moves to upper right, and is shrinkingly displayed, and the normal retention design 95 and 96 is maintaining the display.
When the reach effect display is finished, the effect pattern 91 is determined and displayed with the big hit symbol of “333” based on the pre-reading hold symbol 94 (FIG. 26 (g)). At this time, the display is changed from the normal holding symbol 95 before the finalized display to the prefetch holding symbol 95 a as the special holding character 3. This display result is due to the change processing at S895 of the hold display change processing (FIG. 18). In addition, since the pre-reading hold symbol 95a is displayed and executed only when the affirmation determination is made in S890 of the hold display changing process (FIG. 18), the result of the fluctuation display by the pre-reading hold symbol 95a is a big hit.
The player can decide what to make the contents of the present jackpot game, ie, the number of rounds, again on the basis of the result of the pre-reading that the jackpot can be won again at the next fluctuation after the jackpot game is finished. In other words, it is possible for the player to make a free choice to individually obtain the desired result based on the information read ahead, whether to fix to 10 rounds or to gamble 4 rounds or 16 rounds. The player's intention can be sufficiently reflected.
The first prefetch effect execution period is started along with the display change to the prefetch holding symbol 95a, and based on which gate of the first gate 18 or the second gate 19 the player passes the game ball A round number determination game for determining the number of rounds as the content of the big hit game is started. "333" as the effect pattern 91 moves up and is displayed in a reduced size, and displays the current distribution mode of the distribution device 16, and further, "Select the gate you like! By displaying a comment, the player is notified of the round number determination game (FIG. 26 (h)).
FIG. 27A reports that “10 rounds can be obtained in the left sorting mode” by displaying a comment “Relief with 10 R GET now”.
Further, in FIG. 27 (b), it is informed that “the condition of the right distribution mode in which either 4 rounds or 16 rounds can be acquired in the right distribution mode is displayed by the comment“ Now play 4R or 16R !! ” doing. Furthermore, at this time, a pending storage occurs due to a new start winning, and the display of the normally pending symbol 97 is started. This display process is based on S850 of the hold display start process (FIG. 17).
As a result of the player entering the second gate 19 by the sorting apparatus of the present embodiment configured such that the player can select an optional gate and enter the ball, the extracted random numbers for gain determination are 1, 3 Comment that the number of rounds was determined to be 16 rounds and 100 times of time reductions by being any of 5, 7 and 9, "16 R GET !! 100 more times reduction" It is notified by the display (FIG. 27 (c)). At the same time, an indication that the number-of-rounds determination game has ended, and an indication that a big hit game is to be started from now on are displayed. In FIG. 27 (c), when the number-of-rounds determination game is completed by passing through any gate, the first pre-reading effect execution period is also finished, whereby the pre-reading hold symbol 95a is usually composed of a hold character. The display is changed to the normal hold symbol 95. This display process is executed in S915 of the gate passage process (FIG. 19).

Next, FIG. 28 shows a case where pre-reading effect is performed in the case where the storage for becoming a big hit occurs during the first pre-reading effect execution period of this embodiment.
FIGS. 28 (a) to 28 (d) show the same display mode as FIG. 26 (f) to FIG. 27 (a), but from the normal holding symbol 95 at the big hit symbol confirmation display The difference is that the display is not changed to the reserved symbol 95a, that is, the reserved memory corresponding to the normal reserved symbol 95 is not a big hit.
In the state of FIG. 28 (d), when the pending storage occurs due to a new start winning, and the pending storage is a big hit, display is started with the prefetch pending symbol 97a as the special pending character 3 (( FIG. 28 (e).
This display result is based on the display start processing of the prefetch holding symbol by S860 of the hold display start processing (FIG. 17). Since the prefetch holding symbol 97a is displayed and executed only when the affirmative determination is made in S855 of the hold display start process (FIG. 17), the result of the fluctuation display by the prefetch holding symbol 97a is a big hit.
The player can decide how to make the contents of the present jackpot game, ie, the number of rounds, again on the assumption that the jackpot can be obtained again by the third change after the end of the jackpot game. . In other words, it is possible for the player to make a free choice to individually obtain the desired result based on the information read ahead, whether to fix to 10 rounds or to gamble 4 rounds or 16 rounds. The player's intention can be sufficiently reflected.
Further, in FIG. 28 (e), the player is informed about the round number determination game by displaying a comment as “Select the gate you like! Right distribution mode It is reported that comment of "4 R or 16 R game now!" Is in the state of the right distribution mode in which either 4 rounds or 16 rounds can be acquired.
As a result of the player entering the second gate 19 as an arbitrary gate, it is determined that the number of rounds is determined to be 16 rounds and the number of time savings is 100 times based on the extracted gain determination random numbers, “16R GET Furthermore, it is notified by the comment display (FIG. 28 (g)) that it is 100 minutes time saving. At the same time, an indication that the number-of-rounds determination game has ended, and an indication that a big hit game is to be started from now on are displayed. In FIG. 28 (g), when the game for determining the number of rounds is completed by passing through any gate, the first pre-reading effect execution period is also finished, whereby the pre-reading hold symbol 97a is usually composed of a hold character. The display is changed to the normal hold symbol 95. This display process is executed in S915 of the gate passage process (FIG. 19).

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described using FIG. 20, FIG. 21 and FIG. In the following description, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described, and common configurations, operations and the like will be omitted as appropriate. Specifically, since both embodiments are different in the hold display start process and the hold display change process, the difference between the control process and the effect display mode thereby will be described with reference to FIG. 20, FIG. 21 and FIG. Do.

The suspension display start process of the present embodiment executed by the sub integrated control device 83 is a determination process (S805) as to whether or not the big hit symbol is being displayed, and in the case of a positive determination (S805: yes), S1845 (S1845) The processing shifts to FIG.
That is, the processing of S810 to S840 to shift to the case of negative determination (S805: no) is the processing executed during the change of the special symbol, and the processing of S1845 to S1860 to shift to the case of positive determination (S805: yes) A process is a process performed after a big hit design is determined display.

In S1845, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 determines whether the setting value of the effect period flag is 1. If the determination is affirmative (S1845: yes), the process proceeds to S1855. If the determination is negative (S1845: no), the process proceeds to S1850.
The effect period flag is a flag in which 1 is set in S1885 of the suspension display changing process (FIG. 21) described later (FIG. 21), and 0 is set in S910 of the gate passing process (FIG. 19). It is a flag which suggests that it is during the first pre-reading effect execution period by something. The first pre-reading effect execution period is a period for executing pre-reading effect after confirmation, starting with at least the condition that the big hit symbol is displayed as a result of being determined as a big hit by the pass / fail judgment, and symbol displaying On the condition that the game ball passes through the first gate 18 or the second gate 19.

  In S1855, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 determines whether the number of pending storages is a predetermined number (for example, three or more), including the pending storage corresponding to the pending information received this time. If the determination is affirmative (S1855: yes), the process proceeds to S1857. If the determination is negative (S1855: no), the process proceeds to S1850.

  In S1857, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 determines whether or not there is a big hit among the stored pending storages including the pending storage corresponding to the currently received pending information. If the determination is affirmative (S1857: yes), the process proceeds to S1860. If the determination is negative (S1857: no), the process proceeds to S1850.

In S1860, the sub integrated control device 83 performs processing for displaying the prefetch holding symbol for the target of the big hit in the holding storage, and ends this processing. Specifically, in the case of the hold storage corresponding to the hold information received this time as the big hit in the hold storage, the display start of the prefetch holding symbol is performed. In addition, if the big hit in the pending storage is something other than the pending storage corresponding to the pending information received this time, that is, if any of the things that have already been pending stored prior to the reception of the pending information, usually from the pending symbol Make a display change to the pre-read holding symbol.
Further, in S1860, the prefetching symbol is displayed only in the case of the storage which is a big hit, and so-called display of displaying the prefetch symbol is not executed although it is a loss as a result. Further, in the case of the present embodiment, the special hold character 3 is displayed as the prefetch holding symbol displayed at this time.

That is, in S1860, based on the stored numerical data relating to pending storage, it is a process of executing a pre-reading effect indicating that the jackpot determination random number is the first specific value before the jackpot is executed is there. In S1860, the process is not executed when the big hit does not occur (when the big hit determination random number is other than the first specific value), that is, so-called display is not performed.
Also, S1860 is executed while the jackpot symbol is determined and displayed. That is, the pre-reading effect for the pending storage stored later than the pending storage causing the jackpot symbol to be determined and displayed is executed in the above-described first pre-reading effect execution period.
Furthermore, S1860 is executed in the first pre-reading effect execution period on condition that a predetermined number (for example, three or more) of pending storages are stored.

  In S1850, the sub integrated control device 83 controls to display the normal holding symbol (normal holding character) on the effect symbol display device 6 as the holding symbol of the holding storage related to the holding information received this time, and the present processing is ended. Do.

  Next, pending display change processing 2 will be described with reference to FIG. The pending display changing process 2 is a process for changing the pending symbol already displayed when the variable display is finished and the symbol is determined and displayed, and the sub integrated control device 83 interrupts every predetermined time (for example, 2 msec) Is a process realized by FIG. 21 is a flowchart 1 of the pending display change process 2 executed by the sub integrated control apparatus 83.

In S1865, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the symbol determination start command has been received. If the determination is affirmative (S1865: yes), the process proceeds to S1870; if the determination is negative (S1865: no), the process ends.
The symbol determination start command is a command transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 in S360 of the determination processing (FIG. 10) executed by the main control device 80. Therefore, the process after S1870 of this process is not performed except the timing to which a symbol is decided.
Moreover, in the case of affirmation determination in S1865, it is after the production design 91 of the production design display 6 displays some final design, and if it is a big hit, it will be after the production design 91 is displayed by the big hit design.

In S1870, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 determines whether the received gaming state information indicates a normal gaming state. If the determination is affirmative (S1870: yes), the process proceeds to S1875. If the determination is negative (S1870: no), the process ends.
The game state information is a command transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 in S312 of the success / failure determination process (FIG. 9) executed by the main controller 80, and as described above, the game state at the time of being determined as a big hit Is a command comprising information such as whether it is a normal gaming state or a definite variation gaming state.

In S1875, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the determined symbol targeted by the received symbol determination start command is a big hit symbol, that is, whether or not a big hit gaming state is generated by the current determined display. If the determination is affirmative (S1875: yes), the process proceeds to S880, and if the determination is negative (S1875: no), the process ends.
As described above, the symbol determination start command is a command transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 in S360 of the success or failure determination process (FIG. 10).

  In S1880, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the determined symbol targeted by the received symbol determination start command is other than a symbol which is a direct hit probability variation big hit of 16R. If the determination is affirmative (S1880: yes), the process proceeds to S1885. If the determination is negative (S1880: no), the process ends.

In S1885, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 sets 1 to the effect period flag and shifts the processing to S1890.
As described above, the effect period flag is a flag that indicates that 1 is set, thereby indicating that the first look-ahead effect execution period is being performed. That is, thereby, the first pre-reading effect execution period is started. Note that the effect period flag is set to 0 in S910 of the gate passing process (FIG. 19) described above, whereby the first prefetch effect execution period ends.

In S1890, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 determines whether or not there is a big hit in the pending storage. If the determination is affirmative (S1890: yes), the process proceeds to S1892, and if the determination is negative (S1890: no), the process ends.
That is, it is determined whether or not a big hit game is to be generated again as a result of the fluctuation display within the number of holding upper limits after the end of the big hit game based on the big hit symbol currently displayed.

  In S1892, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 determines whether or not the number of pending storages stored at the time of symbol determination is a predetermined number (for example, three or more). If the determination is affirmative (S1892: yes), the process proceeds to S1895. If the determination is negative (S1892: no), the process ends.

In S1895, the sub integrated control device 83 performs processing for changing the holding symbol of the thing that becomes the big hit in the holding storage to the prefetch holding symbol, and ends this processing.
That is, in S1895, prior to the judgment of success or failure at the start of fluctuation, the prefetching effect is executed which suggests that the numerical data stored as pending storage will be a big hit (if the big hit determination random number is the first specific value). Do. In S1895, in the case where the big hit does not occur (when the big hit determination random number is not the first specific value), that is, the so-called display is not performed.
In S1895, when the big hit symbol is confirmed (after), in other words, after the big hit symbol is confirmed and before the game ball passes through the first gate 18 or the second gate 19, That is, it is executed in a period in which the effect period flag is set to 1 (first prefetch effect execution period). Further, in S1895, the pre-reading effect is executed for the pending storage stored later than the one in which the big hit symbol is fixedly displayed, and the pre-reading effect is pre-reading effect after confirmation.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, one of the conditions is that the gaming state at the time of the success or failure determination resulting in the final display of the big hit symbol in the determination processing of S1870 is the normal gaming state, By setting 1 to the effect period flag (S1885), the first pre-reading effect execution period is started, and pre-reading effect after symbol determination is performed in S1895.

  Further, as described above, in the present embodiment, the condition is that the big hit that occurs when the big hit symbol is determined and displayed in the determination processing of S1880 is a big hit game other than the 16 R direct hit probability big hit. As one of the effects, the presentation period flag is set to 1 (S1885) to start the first pre-reading effect execution period, and pre-reading effect after symbol determination is performed in S1895. In other words, when it is determined that the hit is determined to be a 16R direct hit probability variation big hit game, the pre-reading effect is not executed in a period in which the effect period flag is set to 1 (first pre-reading effect execution period) It is configured.

  Further, S1895 is executed in the first prefetch effect execution period on condition that a predetermined number (for example, three or more) of pending storages are stored (affirmative determination in S1892).

Next, FIG. 29 shows a case where pre-reading effect is performed in the case where a pending storage as a big hit occurs during the first pre-reading effect execution period of this embodiment and a predetermined number of pending storages are stored.
FIGS. 29A to 29D have substantially the same display modes as those of FIGS. 28A to 28D of the first embodiment. However, even if the jackpot symbol is determined, in the present embodiment, the pre-reading effect is not executed unless the reserved memory is accumulated by a predetermined number. Therefore, in FIG. 29 (c) and FIG. 29 (d), this is notified by the comment display of "I will pre-read when 3 pieces are sent!".
In addition, the normal retention symbol 95 displayed at this time is a retention memory which becomes a big hit. However, since only two pending storages are stored, the change display to the pre-reading pending symbol is not performed with the normal pending symbol as it is. This display process is realized by a configuration in which the process of S1895 is not performed due to the negative determination of S1892 of the pending display change process 2 (FIG. 21).
In FIG. 29 (e), when the number of pending storages is increased to 3 due to the new start winning and the occurrence of the pending storage, the normal pending symbol 95 which is a pending storage serving as a big hit is read ahead as the special pending character 3 The display is changed to the holding symbol 95a. This display process is the result of S1860 of the hold display start process (FIG. 20). Note that in FIG. 29 (e), by displaying a comment such as “Select the gate you want to be your next change! Choose your favorite gate and make a comment”, you will be notified that it will be a big hit in the first change display after the big hit game. Do.
The player can decide how to make the contents of the big hit game of this time, that is, the number of rounds, again on the assumption that the big hit can be obtained again by the first change after the big hit game is over. . In other words, it is possible for the player to make a free choice to individually obtain the desired result based on the information read ahead, whether to fix to 10 rounds or to gamble 4 rounds or 16 rounds. The player's intention can be sufficiently reflected.
Also, when the number-of-rounds determination game advances with FIGS. 29 (f) and 29 (g), and there is a start winning newly and a pending storage occurs, and this pending storage becomes a big hit, The pre-reading reservation symbol 98a of is started to be displayed. This display process is also the result of S1860 of the hold display start process (FIG. 20). In FIG. 29 (g), the first and fourth variation display after the big hit game is displayed by commenting “Next variation and big hit at the 4th variation !! Select a favorite gate and ne”. Informing that it will be a big hit.
The player decides how to make the contents of the big hit game, ie, the number of rounds, on the premise of the result of the pre-reading that the big hit can be obtained again in the first and fourth fluctuations after the big hit game is over. I can do it. In other words, it is possible for the player to make a free choice to individually obtain the desired result based on the information read ahead, whether to fix to 10 rounds or to gamble 4 rounds or 16 rounds. The player's intention can be sufficiently reflected.
In FIG. 29 (g), when the game for determining the number of rounds is completed by passing through any gate, the first pre-reading effect execution period is also finished, whereby the pre-reading hold symbols 95a and 98a are composed of normal hold characters. The display is changed to the normal hold symbol 95 and 98. This display process is executed in S915 of the gate passage process (FIG. 19).

[Modification]
Next, a modification of the present invention will be described.
In each of the embodiments described above, the pre-reading effect performed after the final display of the jackpot symbol targets all of the pending storage already stored until the finalized display and the pending storage occurring after the finalized display.
On the other hand, a configuration may be considered in which only the pending storage stored after the jackpot symbol is displayed is determined. Specifically, for example, without the hold display change process (FIG. 18) of the first embodiment, only the hold display start process (FIGS. 16 and 17) is provided. By this, at the time of finalization display of the big hit symbol, the pre-reading effect after finalization for the pending memory which has already been stored is not performed, but on the other hand, every time the start winning combination occurs after the final display of the big hit symbol, display based on the starting winning combination It is possible to perform only after pre-reading effect for the purpose of new pending storage for which is started.
More specifically, instead of not all of the hold display changing process (FIG. 18) of the first embodiment, only the process of performing the pre-reading effect of S890 and S895 may be deleted. Thereby, when the predetermined condition is satisfied by the condition determination processing of S865, S870, S875, and S880, the rendering period flag is set to 1 in S885, and the first pre-reading effect execution period is started. It is possible to execute the after-confirmation pre-reading effect (S 860) by limiting it during the first pre-reading effect execution period.
By configuring in this way, in order to set the target of pre-reading effect after confirmation only for the retention memory that occurs after the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed, even after the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed, the player is immediately Do not start hitting the right for the number-of-rounds determination game, fill the pending memory with the left hit until the upper limit number, and get a notification regarding the big hit by the pre-reading effect, and deploy after the big hit as much as possible Once you have grasped it, you can switch to the right and enter the round number determination game. This makes it possible to fully reflect the player's intention in the configuration in which it is determined whether or not the player can produce the desired result.

Although the embodiments according to the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto unless it deviates from the technical concept of the present invention.
For example, the distribution member 17 as the distribution means in the above-described embodiment exemplifies a configuration in which drive control is performed in a state where the player's intention is not reached by the distribution device control process executed by the main control device 80. . However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the distribution member may be provided with distribution mode operation means (button) that can be made into any distribution mode by the player's operation, and based on the operation result. The drive control of the dividing member 17 may be performed. By configuring in this manner, the player can set any distribution mode at any timing without waiting for the distribution mode of the distribution member to be in an arbitrary state. Contributing to the intervention of

  Further, in the suspension display change process in the embodiment described above, at the time of the success or failure determination that the big hit symbol is determined and displayed as the condition of the start of the first pre-reading effect execution period by setting 1 to the effect period flag Based on the establishment of multiple conditions such that the gaming state is normal gaming state (S870: yes), and the displayed big hit is other than 16R's direct hit probability change big hit game (S880: yes), etc. The configuration in which the flag is set to 1 (S885) is illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be configured that 1 is set to the effect period flag only on the basis of the fact that the determined symbol is the big hit symbol (S875: yes). In addition to the fact that the final symbol is the big hit symbol (S875: yes), one may be set to the effect period flag, on the condition that one of S870 or S880 makes an affirmative determination.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the sorting device control process of the big hit determination process is executed to change the sorting members 17 into the right sorting mode and the left sorting mode at regular intervals. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the distribution apparatus control process may be executed by powering on the pachinko machine 50. Thereby, the distribution mode of the distribution member 17 can realize the constant change repeatedly from the start of the power supply.

  In the embodiment described above, an example is shown in which the activation of the accessory continuous actuation device is performed when the gaming ball passes the first gate 18 or the second gate 19, that is, the processing in S760. The start of operation of the continuous product actuating device may be simultaneous with the start of the operation of the condition device. At this time, although the accessory continuous operating device has started to operate, when the gaming ball passes the first gate 18 or the second gate 19, only the number of rounds, which is the number of operations of the commodity continuous operating device, is It is good also as composition determined by. As a result, the operation start timings of the two devices, the condition device and the continuous item actuating device, become the same, and the control load is reduced.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the big hit symbol is determined and displayed on the effect symbol display 6 and simultaneously displayed on the special view display 9, and the number of rounds is determined based on passing through the first gate or the second gate. Then, the number-of-rounds display lamp is turned on to display the number of rounds. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, even if the big hit symbol is determined and displayed on the effect symbol display device 6, it is not determined on the special image display device 9, and if the number of rounds is determined by passing any gate The special symbol set corresponding to the number of rounds may be determined and displayed.
This eliminates the need for the round number display lamp.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, although the end timing of the pre-reading effect after confirmation shows an example when it passes through any gate, it is not limited to this and the pre-reading holding symbol is displayed as an object of pre-reading effect It is good also as the time of digestion of pending memory.
This makes it possible to easily check if the player wants to confirm again on which hold storage a big hit will be made.

  Furthermore, the configuration is not limited to the configuration in which the award balls and the like are paid out to the upper plate or the lower plate, and a so-called enclosed type game machine may be used in which the game balls are enclosed in the machine and circulated internally.

Gaming machine. Numerical data extraction means for extracting numerical data due to the game ball entering the starting opening;
Holding storage means for storing numerical data extracted by the numerical data extraction means within a predetermined number limit;
Pass / fail judgment means for judging whether the numerical data stored in the hold storage means is good or bad based on a predetermined judgment probability,
A big hit game content that determines the content of the big hit game due to the game ball passing to the first gate or the second gate after being determined to be won by the suitability determination means and the winning is determined and displayed. And means for determining
When the game ball passes through the first gate and when the game ball passes through the second gate, the selection rate of the content of the big hit game is different, and the player makes the game ball the first gate or In a ball game machine capable of passing through any gate of the second gate,
The system further comprises pre-reading effect execution means for performing pre-reading effect suggesting that it is a specific value before the numerical value data stored in the suspension storage means is judged to be a success or failure by the success or failure judgment means,
The pre-reading effect executing means performs pre-reading effect on the numerical data stored in the hold storage means later than the numerical data judged to be won by the success or failure judging means, and the numerical value data judged to be the winning After it is confirmed and displayed, it is executed in the first prefetch effect execution period before the game ball passes to the first gate or the second gate,
The pre-reading effect executing means is
When performing pre-reading effect in the first pre-reading effect execution period, the numerical data stored in the hold storage means after the final confirmation of the winning will be made the target of pre-reading effect. A ball game machine to play. Numerical data extraction means for extracting numerical data due to the game ball entering the starting opening;
Holding storage means for storing numerical data extracted by the numerical data extraction means within a predetermined number limit;
Pass / fail judgment means for judging whether the numerical data stored in the hold storage means is good or bad based on a predetermined judgment probability,
A big hit game content that determines the content of the big hit game due to the game ball passing to the first gate or the second gate after being determined to be won by the suitability determination means and the winning is determined and displayed. And means for determining
When the game ball passes through the first gate and when the game ball passes through the second gate, the selection rate of the content of the big hit game is different, and the player makes the game ball the first gate or In a ball game machine capable of passing through any gate of the second gate,
