  In the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, when controlled to the advantageous state, it is difficult to understand the ease of ending the advantageous state, and the interest of the game can not be improved.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine which improves the interest of a game.

(1) In order to achieve the above object, a game machine according to the present invention is:
First variable display means (for example, the first special symbol display device 4A or the like) for performing variable display of the first identification information (for example, the first special symbol etc.) and deriving a display result, and second identification information (for example, , The second special display (eg, the second special symbol display device 4B, etc.) for performing variable display of the second special symbol, etc. to derive the display result (for example, jackpot symbols, etc.) Gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1 etc.) to shift to a specific state (for example, a big hit gaming state etc.) when) is derived,
Variable display execution means (for example, CPU 103 that executes step S921 and step S922) capable of concurrently executing variable display of the first identification information and variable display of the second identification information;
A decoration variable display execution unit (for example, the effect control CPU 120 that executes the process of step S372, etc.) that executes the variable display of decoration identification information corresponding to the variable display of at least the first identification information and derives the decoration display result ,
Gaming state control means for controlling the gaming state (e.g., the CPU 103 which turns on the high probability high base flag in step S1503 or step S2503);
Holding storage means (for example, a first special view holding storage unit, etc.) for storing information about variable display of the first identification information that has not been started yet as holding storage;
A determination unit (for example, the CPU 103 that executes the process of step S1006) that determines a mode of variable display of the first identification information corresponding to the suspension storage stored by the suspension storage unit;
The gaming state control means can control the gaming state after the end of the specific state to an advantageous state (for example, high probability high base state etc.) advantageous to the player (for example, in step S1503 or step S2503). Such as turning on the high probability high base flag),
The variable state of the second identification information is executed in the advantageous state after the end of the specific state when the variable display of the first identification information is performed and the specific display result is derived. It is easier to finish than after the end of the specific state when the result is derived (for example, in the first special view game, a "5R short-term" big hit that ends the high probability high base state is derived and displayed , In the second special view game, "big hit" of "5R short-term" ending high certain high base state is derived and not displayed, etc.,
The decoration variable display execution means is
When the variable display of the first identification information is executed and the specific display result is derived, any of a plurality of types of decorative specific display results can be derived as the decorative display result (for example, “5 Or “7”, for example, the effect control CPU 120 for deriving and displaying a finalized decoration pattern constituting a big hit combination in which either “7” is aligned, etc.),
When the judgment result of the judgment means satisfies the specific condition (for example, the big hit symbol is derived and displayed in the variable display of the first special symbol, and there is no judgment of the big hit in the suspension of the variable display of the first special symbol or (1) When there is a judgment of big hit in the suspension of variable display of special symbol, but the period until the "big hit" is derived (the first special figure fluctuation time) is long) the determination result is the specific condition specific decoration specific display results that do not derive when not satisfied (e.g., a particular jackpot symbols such as the "7" are aligned) Ri can be derived der (e.g., effect control for executing the processing of step S3068 CPU 120, etc.),
A period for executing a period notification effect (for example, notification of a remaining time to be performed in a chance period, etc.) for notifying a non-derivation period in which a display result that ends the advantageous state is not derived in variable display of first identification information. Informing effect executing means (for example, the effect control CPU 120 that executes the process of step S862);
And an extension effect execution unit (for example, CPU 120 for effect control for executing the process of step S869) for executing an extension effect (for example, an extension notification etc.) for extending the notified non-derivation period;
The extension effect is a first extension effect (for example, a long extension notification with an extension time of 40 seconds or 50 seconds, etc.) and a second extension effect for which the extension period to be extended is shorter than the first extension effect (for example, extension Time to be taken, such as short-term extension notification of 10 seconds or 20 seconds)
The extension effect execution means is a first period during which the variable display period is a second period less than the specific period during the variable display of the first identification information, which is the first period where the variable display period is the specific period or more. It is easier to execute the second extension effect than during variable display of the variable display period, so that the variable display period is the second display period during the variable display of the first identification information, which is the first period. The extension effect is executed at a higher execution frequency than during the variable display of the first identification information which is a period (for example, when the fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the first special symbol in execution is a long-term fluctuation, Such as CPU 120 for effect control to execute short-term extension notification),
It is characterized by

  According to the above configuration, the ease of termination of the advantageous state can be easily understood by the type of the decoration specifying display result, and the interest of the game can be improved.

A period for executing a period notification effect (for example, notification of a remaining time to be performed in a chance period, etc.) for notifying a non-derivation period in which a display result that ends the advantageous state is not derived in variable display of first identification information. Informing effect executing means (for example, the effect control CPU 120 that executes the process of step S862) ;
Extension effect of extending the non derivation period being broadcast (e.g., extended notification, etc.) extending effect execution means for executing (e.g., effect such control CPU120 for executing the processing of step S869) and, further example Bei a,
The extension effect is a first extension effect (for example, a long extension notification with an extension time of 40 seconds or 50 seconds, etc.) and a second extension effect for which the extension period to be extended is shorter than the first extension effect (for example, extension Time to be taken, such as short-term extension notification of 10 seconds or 20 seconds)
The extension effect execution means is a first period during which the variable display period is a second period less than the specific period during the variable display of the first identification information, which is the first period where the variable display period is the specific period or more. It is easier to execute the second extension effect than during the variable display of (for example, when the variation pattern of the variable display of the first special symbol in execution is a long-term fluctuation, effect control to execute the short-term extension notification CPU 120, etc.),
You may do so.

  According to the above configuration, the interest of the game can be improved by the period notification effect.

(3) In the gaming machine of (1) or (2) above,
The degree of advantage of the specific gaming state is the same when the specific decoration specification display result is derived and when a predetermined decoration specification display result other than the specific decoration specification display result is derived. For example, even if the finalized decoration symbol making up the jackpot combination is "5" or "7", it is controlled to the normally open jackpot gaming state etc.),
You may do so.

  According to the above configuration, it is possible to suppress that the specific gaming state when the specific decoration specific display result is derived becomes excessively advantageous.

(4) In the gaming machine according to any one of the above (1) to (3),

You may do so.

  According to the above configuration, the ease of termination of the advantageous state can be easily understood by the type of the decoration specifying display result, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(5) In the gaming machine according to any one of the above (1) to (4),
The determination unit determines whether or not the specific display result is derived for the pending storage stored by the pending storage unit (for example, the CPU 103 that executes the process of step S402).
When the determination result of the determination means satisfies the specific condition, the determination means determines that the specific display result is not derived for all the pending storages stored by the pending storage means (for example, , Etc. There is no decision of the big hit in the suspension of the variable display of the first special symbol etc),
You may do so.

  According to the above configuration, the ease of termination of the advantageous state can be easily understood by the type of the decoration specifying display result, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(6) In the gaming machine according to any one of the above (1) to (5),

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, showing an arrangement layout of main members. The pachinko gaming machine (game machine) 1 is roughly divided into a gaming board (gauge board) 2 constituting a gaming board surface and a gaming machine frame (underframe) 3 for supporting and fixing the gaming board 2. In the game board 2, a substantially circular game area surrounded by guide rails is formed. In this game area, a game ball as a game medium is shot and shot from a predetermined ball striking device.

  A first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B are provided at predetermined positions of the game board 2 (the right side of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 1). Each of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B is composed of, for example, 7 segments, a dot matrix LED (light emitting diode), or the like. In each of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, there are a plurality of types of identification information (special identification information) capable of identifying each as a special drawing game as an example of a variable display game. Special symbols (also referred to as "special figures") are variably displayed (variable display). For example, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B respectively change a plurality of types of special symbols composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9", symbols indicating "-", etc. indicate. Then, at the end of the variable display, the finalized special symbol is stopped and displayed as a variable display result in the special view game. Note that the determined special symbol may be different from the special symbol displayed during the variable display.

  In addition, the special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are limited to those composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9" and symbols indicating "-", etc. For example, a plurality of different lighting patterns (which may include all lighted off patterns) in which combinations of lighting and extinguishing of 7-segment LEDs are different, for example, are previously made as a plurality of special symbols. It should just be set. Hereinafter, the special symbols variably displayed in the first special symbol display device 4A are also referred to as "first special symbol" and "first special view", and the special symbols variably displayed in the second special symbol display device 4B are " Also referred to as the second special symbol, "second special view". In this embodiment, a special view game using the first special view (also referred to as a first special view game) (variable display of the first special view) and a special view game using the second special view ( Sometimes referred to as a second special view game) (variable display of the second special view) may be performed simultaneously in parallel.

  An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The image display device 5 is configured of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device) or the like, and forms a display area for displaying various effect images. On the screen of the image display device 5 (mainly in the area 5A serving as the main screen), each is displayed in the decorative symbol display area serving as a plurality of variable display portions such as three corresponding to the first special view game. A decorative design that is a plurality of types of identification information (decorative identification information) that can be identified is variably displayed. The variable display of this decorative pattern is also included in the variable display game.

  As an example, on the screen of the image display device 5, decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle" and "right" are arranged. Then, in response to the start of the first special view game (variable display of the first special view), decorations are made in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". Variation of the symbol (for example, scroll display in the vertical direction) is started. Thereafter, when the first determined special symbol is stopped and displayed as a variable display result in the first special view game, each of the "left", "middle" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5C in the image display device 5 In 5R, the finalized decorative symbol (final stop symbol) which is the result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed. The finalized decorative design may be different from the decorative design displayed during the variable display. For example, a decorative pattern other than the decorative pattern to be scrolled may be a finalized decorative pattern.

  On the screen of the image display device 5, the variable display of a plurality of decorative designs that can be identified is performed corresponding to the first special drawing game, and the fixed decorative design to be a variable display result is derived and displayed (or simply Also called "derivation". Note that, for example, deriving and displaying various display symbols such as a special symbol and a decorative symbol means to stop display (also referred to as complete stop display or final stop display) identification information such as a decorative symbol and to end variable display. . On the other hand, during the variable display from when variable display of the decorative symbol is started to when the fixed decorative symbol as the variable display result is derived and displayed, the change speed of the decorative symbol is "0", and the decorative symbol is displayed. For example, the symbol may be displayed in a stationary state, and may be in a display state that causes, for example, slight shaking or expansion and contraction. Such a display state is also referred to as a temporary stop display, and although the display result in the variable display is not displayed in a definite manner, the player can recognize that the variation of the decorative symbol by the scroll display or the update display is not progressing. It becomes. The temporary stop display may include, for example, complete stop display of the decorative pattern only for a time shorter than a predetermined time (for example, one second) without causing slight shaking or expansion or contraction. Further, the symbol displayed for temporary stop may be a symbol that does not appear in the variable display before temporary stop (such as a symbol for which temporary stop is displayed only at temporary stop).

  In an area 5B provided at the lower right of the display area of the image display device 5, for example, an image indicating that the second special view game is being executed is displayed corresponding to the second special view game (for example, identification An image for notifying the result of the variable display in the second special view game (display result as a kind of variable display of information (variable display game), an image of “o” and an image of “x” are variably displayed) Or the like) and the like.

  A predetermined display area 5H is disposed on the screen of the image display device 5. In the display area 5H, a holding storage display is performed to display the number of holdings (the number of special drawing holding memories) of the special drawing game (variable display of the special drawing) in an identifiable manner. In the suspension of the special figure game, the game ball enters (for example, passes) the first starting winning opening formed by the ordinary winning ball device 6A described later and the second starting winning opening formed by the normally variable winning ball device 6B. It occurs on the basis of the starting winning combination. That is, although a start condition (also referred to as "execution condition") for executing a variable display game such as a special view game or a variable display of a decorative symbol is satisfied, a variable display game is being executed based on the start condition established earlier. And the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to a big hit gaming state, etc., when the start condition for permitting the start of the variable display game is not satisfied, the hold of the variable display corresponding to the satisfied start condition is satisfied. Is done. In this embodiment, the pending storage display is performed by displaying the same number of symbols (such as circle marks and hereinafter also referred to as a pending display symbol) as the pending variable display. The pending variable display corresponding to the special drawing game using the first special drawing is represented by the holding display symbol displayed in the area (first holding display area 5HA) on the left side in the display area 5H. . The pending variable display corresponding to the special drawing game using the second special view is represented by the holding display symbol displayed in the area (second holding display area 5HB) on the right side in the display area 5H. . The on-hold display symbol and the on-hold variable display may correspond to each other on a one-on-one basis.

  For example, the start condition (first start condition) of the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A is satisfied by the occurrence of the first start winning that the game ball enters the first start winning opening If the first start condition for starting the first special view game based on the establishment of the first start condition is not satisfied when the first start condition is satisfied, the number of first special view reservation memories is incremented by one (increment), The special view game (variable display of the first special view) is suspended (the reserved display symbol is increased by one). In addition, the start condition (second start condition) of the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B is satisfied by the occurrence of the second start winning that the game ball enters the second start winning opening If the second start condition for starting the second special view game based on the establishment of the second start condition is not satisfied, the second special view reserve memory number is incremented by one (incremented) when the second start condition is satisfied. A special drawing game (variable display of the second special drawing) is put on hold (the hold display symbol is increased by one). On the other hand, when the execution of the first special figure game is started, the number of first special figure reservation memories is decremented by 1 (decrement) (the reserved display symbol is decremented), and the second special figure game is When execution is started, the second special view reserve storage number is decremented by 1 (decision indicator figure is decremented by 1).

  In particular, the number of variable-display special map pending storages obtained by adding the first special view pending storage count and the second special view pending storage count is also referred to as the total pending storage count. The term "number of Tokushu reserve storages" simply refers to a concept that includes all of the number of first to reserve special storages, the number of second to reserve special storages, and the total number of pending storages, but in particular It may refer to a concept including the number of first special view pending storages and the number of second special view pending storages, but excluding the total number of pending storages.

  In addition to the display area 5H or in place of the display area 5H, a display may be provided to display the number of stored special feature storages. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the first hold display 25A and the second hold display for displaying the number of special view hold memories in an identifiable manner at the upper part of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B. A vessel 25B is provided. The first hold indicator 25A displays the number of first special view hold memories in an identifiable manner. The second hold indicator 25B displays the second special view hold storage number in a distinguishable manner. The first hold indicator 25A and the second hold indicator 25B are, for example, the number corresponding to the upper limit (for example, "4") in each of the first special view reserve storage number and the second special view reserve storage number (for example, 4 Components) are configured. Here, the first special view reserve storage number and the second special view reserve storage number are displayed according to the number of lighted LEDs.

  Under the image display device 5, a normal winning ball device 6A is provided. On the right side of the image display device 5, a normally variable winning ball device 6B is provided.

  The regular winning ball device 6A, for example, forms a first starting winning opening as a starting area (first starting area) which is always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member.

  The normally variable winning ball device 6B has a pair of movable wing pieces that changes between a vertical position in a vertical position and a tilting position in a tilting position by a solenoid 81 for a normal electric character (a normal electric position Objects, and form a second starting winning opening. A fixed member 30 fixed to the board of the game board 2 is disposed above the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B. The fixed member 30 is a substantially plate-like member projecting forward from the surface of the game board 2 and completely closes the second start winning opening when the movable wing piece is in the vertical state, and the game ball is the second start winning Prevent entry into the mouth. That is, when the movable wing piece is in the vertical state, the second starting winning opening is in the closed state where the game ball can not enter. Also, when the movable wing piece is in a tilting state, the second start winning opening is in an open state, and the game ball can enter. For example, in the case of the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the movable wing piece is in the vertical state when the solenoid 81 for the normal motor vehicle is in the off state, and the movable wing piece is in the tilting state when the solenoid 81 is in the on state .

  The game ball entering the first starting winning opening formed in the normal winning ball device 6A is detected by, for example, the first starting opening switch 22A. The game ball entering the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B is detected by, for example, the second starting opening switch 22B. A predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls (prize game media) based on the detection of the game balls by the first starting opening switch 22A, and the first special view reserve memory number is a predetermined number. If it is less than the upper limit value (for example, "4"), the first start condition is satisfied. A predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as a prize ball based on the detection of the game ball by the second start opening switch 22B, and the second special view reserve storage number is less than a predetermined upper limit value. For example, the second start condition is satisfied.

  The number of winning balls to be paid out based on the detection of the gaming ball by the first starting opening switch 22A and the number of the winning balls to be paid out based on the detection of the gaming ball by the second starting opening switch 22B. The numbers may be the same or different from each other. The pachinko gaming machine 1 may directly pay out the gaming balls to be the winning balls, or may give a score corresponding to the number of gaming balls to be the winning balls.

  Below the regular winning ball device 6B, a special variable winning ball device 7 is provided. The special variable winning ball device 7 has a large winning opening door driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 for a large winning opening door, and a large winning combination as a specific area which changes to an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door. Form a mouth.

  As an example, in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning mouth door is off, the big winning mouth door closes the big winning mouth, and the game ball enters the big winning mouth (for example, Do not pass. On the other hand, in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning mouth door is in the on state, the big winning mouth door opens the big winning mouth, and the game ball easily enters the big winning mouth Become. As described above, the special winning opening as the specific area changes into an open state advantageous for the player to easily enter the game ball, and a closed state disadvantageously for the player because the game ball can not enter.

  The game ball that has entered (winning) the special winning opening passes through the internal passage 31 provided on the back side of the game board 2 and enters the probability change detection area 40 which is always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member. Do. It should be noted that by making part of the game board 2, the member forming the internal passage 31, the ball receiving member, etc. transparent, it is possible for the player to view the gaming ball advancing into the internal passage 31 and entering the probability change detection area 40. It may be In this embodiment, gaming media passing through the internal passage 31 can always enter into the probability variation detection area 40 (that is, gaming balls that have won a big winning opening always enter the probability variation detection area 40). ).

  The game ball entering (winning) the special winning opening is detected by, for example, the count switch 23. A predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as winning balls based on the detection of the game balls by the count switch 23.

The random number used to control such a rendering operation is also referred to as a rendering random number.

  The ROM 121 mounted on the effect control board 12 shown in FIG. 2 stores various data tables and the like used to control the rendering operation, in addition to the program for effect control. For example, in the ROM 121, a plurality of determination tables prepared to make various determinations, determinations, and settings by the effect control CPU 120, table data forming the determination tables, pattern data forming the various effect control patterns, etc. It is memorized. The effect control pattern is formed of, for example, process control data including effect control execution data (display control data, voice control data, lamp control data, etc.) associated with the effect control process timer determination value, an end code, and the like. The RAM 122 mounted on the effect control board 12 stores various data used to control the effect operation.

  The display control unit 123 mounted on the effect control board 12 is based on the control of the effect control CPU 120 (for example, based on a display control command from the effect control CPU 120), of the effect image displayed on the image display device 5 The video signal is output, and the effect image is displayed on the image display device 5. As an example, the display control unit 123 may be equipped with a VDP (Video Display Processor), a CGROM (Character Generator ROM), a VRAM (Video RAM), and the like. The VDP may be a graphics processing unit (GPU), a graphics controller LSI (GCL), or a microprocessor for image processing which is more generally referred to as a digital signal processor (DSP). The CGROM may be, for example, a non-rewritable semiconductor memory, a rewritable semiconductor memory such as a flash memory, or any of non-volatile recording media such as a magnetic memory and an optical memory. It may be configured. For example, the effect control CPU 120 transmits, to the display control unit 123, a display control instruction for specifying an effect image to be displayed in the display screen of the image display device 5, in accordance with the display control data and the like included in the effect control pattern. The display control unit 123 is a video signal for displaying an effect image specified by the display control instruction based on data stored in the CGROM or the like (storage unit) according to the display control instruction from the effect control CPU 120. Output As a result, the video signal of the effect image according to the control of the effect control CPU 120 (effect control pattern and the like) is output, and the effect image is displayed on the image display device 5.

  The I / O 125 mounted on the effect control board 12 has, for example, an input port for taking in the effect control command transmitted from the main board 11 and the like, and an output port for transmitting various signals to the outside of the effect control board 12 And including.

The driver circuit drives the display panel based on the input video signal, and causes the display panel to display an image represented by the video signal. As a result, various effect images are displayed on the image display device 5.

  With the above configuration, the effect control CPU 120 controls the speakers 8L and 8R via the voice control board 13 to output voice, or through the lamp control board 14, the game effect lamp 9, the decorative LED, etc. To turn on / off the display in the screen, or to display the effect image in the display area of the image display device 5 via the display control unit 123, to create various effects such as reach effects, which will be described in detail later Perform such as directing.

  In pachinko gaming machine 1, a predetermined game performed by firing game balls is performed using a game value (here, a game ball which is an example of a game medium), and a predetermined game is made based on the game result. The game value (here, game medium as a winning ball) can be provided (here, paid out). As an example of a game using a game ball, a predetermined hitting ball is launched based on the player having performed a predetermined operation (for example, a rotation operation) the hitting operation handle installed at the lower right of the front of the case in pachinko gaming machine 1 A game ball as a game medium is shot toward the game area by a shooting motor or the like included in the device. The launched game ball flows down the game area, and when the game ball which has flowed down the game area enters the first starting winning opening (first starting area) formed in the normal winning ball device 6A, the first starting condition is To establish. After that, the first special figure game is started based on the establishment of the first start condition, for example, due to the end of the previous first special figure game or the big hit gaming state. Further, when the gaming ball having flowed down the gaming area enters the second starting winning opening (second starting area) formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the second starting condition is satisfied. Thereafter, based on the fact that the second start condition is satisfied, for example, due to the end of the previous second special view game or the big hit gaming state, the second special view game is started.

  In addition, based on the fact that the game ball passes through the passing gate 41 (the passage is detected by the gate switch 21 (the gate switch 21 is turned on)), the normal symbol display 20 A normal drawing start condition for executing variable display is satisfied (this causes the number of common drawing reserve storages to be incremented by one). After that, based on the fact that the common drawing start condition for starting variable display of the normal symbols is established, for example, that the previous common drawing game has ended, the common drawing game by the normal symbol display 20 is started ( At this time, the common drawing reserve storage number is decremented by 1). As this common figure game, variable display of a normal symbol is executed. In the variable display of the normal symbol, after starting the fluctuation of the normal symbol, when the predetermined time has passed, the final display of the variable display of the normal symbol as the end of the variable display of the normal symbol Do. At this time, if a specific normal symbol (common symbol per symbol) is stopped and displayed as the determined normal symbol, the variable display result of the normal symbol is "per common symbol". On the other hand, if the normal symbol other than the symbol in the common drawing is stopped and displayed as the determined normal symbol, the variable display result of the normal symbol becomes "general drawing lost". In response to the variable display result of the normal symbol being "per common drawing", the open control is performed such that the movable wing piece of the electrically-driven tulip constituting the normally variable winning ball device 6B tilts, and the predetermined time is set. When it passes, closing control which returns to a perpendicular position is performed (opening control may be performed multiple times). Whether or not to make the variable display result of the normal symbol "per common drawing" as the predetermined specific display result is the variable display result when the common pattern game by the normal symbol display 20 is started, etc. It is decided (predetermined) before deriving and displaying.

  When the first special view game is started or the second special view game is started, the variable display result of the special symbol (the variable display result in the first special view game or the second special view game) is determined in advance. Whether to make a "big hit" as the specified display result is determined (predetermined) before the variable display result is derived and displayed. Then, the variation pattern (see FIGS. 15 and 28) which is the pattern of the variable display is determined at a predetermined ratio based on the determination of the variable display result, and the effect control command for specifying the variable display result or the variation pattern is shown in FIG. It is transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main substrate 11 shown in FIG.

  After the first special view game or the second special view game is started based on the determination of the variable display result or the variation pattern, for example, when the predetermined variable display time corresponding to the variation pattern has elapsed, the variable display The finalized special symbol (first finalized special symbol or second finalized special symbol) as a result is derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B.

  In addition, in the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R disposed in the area 5A on the screen of the image display device 5 corresponding to the first special view game, special Variable display of a decorative pattern (effect pattern) different from the pattern is performed. In the first special view game, when the first determined special symbol that is the variable display result of the first special symbol is derived and displayed, the image display device in synchronization with this derived display (at substantially the same timing as the derived display) In the area 5A and the like in the 5 display areas, a finalized decorative pattern to be a variable display result of the decorative pattern is derived and displayed (FIG. 52, FIG. 53, etc.).

  Further, in the area 5B in the display area of the image display device 5, an image indicating that the second special view game is being executed is displayed corresponding to the second special view game. For example, as a type of variable display of the decoration identification information (variable display game), an image of "o" and an image of "x" are variably displayed in the area 5B (Fig. 56 and the like). In the second special view game, when the second determined special symbol that is the variable display result of the second special symbol is derived and displayed, the image display device in synchronization with the derived display (at substantially the same timing as the derived display) An image for notifying a variable display result in the second special drawing game is displayed (derived display) in the area 5B of 5. For example, as a display result of the variable display (variable display game) of the decoration identification information, one of the image of "o" (image showing "big hit") and the image of "x" (image showing "loss") The image is derived and displayed.

  In the first special view game or the second special view game, when a big hit symbol predetermined as a variable display result is derived and displayed, the variable display result (special view display result) becomes a "big hit" (specific display result), It is controlled to the jackpot gaming state as a specific gaming state advantageous to the player. That is, whether or not the jackpot gaming state is controlled corresponds to whether or not the variable display result in the first special view game or the second special view game is "big hit", and the variable display result is derived It is decided (predetermined) before it is displayed. As the variable display result of the special symbol, the big hit symbol is not derived and displayed, and when the lost symbol is derived and displayed, the variable display result (special figure display result) becomes "loss".

  As an example, a special symbol indicating the numbers "6" and "7" is a big hit symbol, and a special symbol indicating "-" is a lost symbol. In addition, each symbol such as a big hit symbol or a lost symbol in the first special figure game may be a special symbol different from each symbol in the second special figure game, or both of the special figures as in this embodiment. The special symbol common to the game may be a big hit symbol or a lost symbol.

  When the special figure display result is "big hit", the case where the big hit type becomes either "5R normal" or "5R short term" is included. For example, as a variable display result of the special symbol (the first special figure or the second special figure), when the big hit symbol showing the number of "7" is derived and displayed, the big hit type becomes "5R normal" and the number of "6" When the jackpot symbol indicating showing is derived and displayed, the jackpot type becomes "5R short-term". In addition, the jackpot gaming state when "big hit" of "5R normal" is derived and displayed is also referred to as a normally open jackpot gaming state. The jackpot gaming state when the "5R short-term" "big hit" is derived and displayed is also referred to as a short-term open jackpot gaming state.

  In the big hit game state, the big winning opening is opened and the special variable winning ball device 7 is in the first state advantageous to the player. Then, in the upper limit period or the period until the first predetermined number of game balls enter the big winning opening and the winning occurs, a round game in which the big winning opening is continuously opened (also referred to as "round") Say) is executed. In a period other than the execution period of such a round game, the special winning opening is closed or the like, and it becomes difficult or impossible to generate a winning. When the gaming ball has entered the big winning opening, a winning is detected by the count switch 23, and a predetermined number (for example, 14) of gaming balls are paid out as a winning ball every detection (every winning). The round game in the jackpot gaming state is repeatedly executed until the predetermined upper limit number is reached.

  In this embodiment, the upper limit period is different depending on the type (big hit type) of the big hit gaming state. FIG. 3 shows an opening mode of the big winning opening in each big hit gaming state. As shown in FIG. 3A, in the short-term open jackpot gaming state (big hit type: "5R short-term"), the upper limit period is 0.1 second (short-term open round). In addition, the number of rounds is 5R (round), and is the same as the normally open big hit gaming state (big hit classification: "5R normal"). As shown in FIG. 3B, in the normal opening big hit gaming state (big hit type: "5R normal"), the upper limit period is 5 seconds (normal opening round).

  In this embodiment, in the short-term open jackpot gaming state, the upper limit period of the opening of the big winning opening is extremely short (0.1 seconds), and it is hardly expected to win the game ball. Therefore, although the short-term opening big hit gaming state is difficult to say that it is a specific gaming state advantageous to the player, since the big winning opening is open, the short-term opening big hit gaming state is also advantageous for the player It will be in a specific gaming state. As described above, the specific gaming state advantageous to the player may be any state in which the big winning opening is open regardless of the opening mode of the big winning opening.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the gaming state may change after the big hit gaming state. Here, the gaming state will be described.

  In this embodiment, a normal state, a probability change state, and a high base state are prepared as gaming states.

  The normal state is a gaming state other than the advantageous state for the player such as a specific gaming state such as a big hit gaming state, a probability change state, a high base state, etc. The probability of becoming "and the probability that the variable display result in the special figure game becomes a" big hit "is the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, as in the case of system reset), It is in the same control state as when it is not executed.

  The definite change state refers to a gaming state in which the probability that the variable display result is a "big hit" (big hit probability) is higher than that in the normal state. In addition, the gaming state when being controlled to the definite change state is also referred to as a high certainty state.

  The high base state is an advantageous change mode in which the game ball is more likely to enter the second start winning opening than the non-short time state in which the short time state such as the normal state does not occur. And change. In the high base state, for example, control to shorten the fluctuation time (common figure fluctuation time) of the ordinary symbol in the ordinary figure display by the ordinary symbol display 20 than in the normal state, or the ordinary symbol variable in each ordinary figure game Control to improve the probability that the display result will be "per common view" than in the normal state, and tilt control of movable wing in the ordinary variable winning ball device 6B based on the variable display result being "per common view" Control to make the tilt control time (ie, the opening time of the second start winning opening) longer than in the normal state, and the number of times of tilting (that is, the number of times the opening of the second start winning opening) is more than that in the normal state It is only necessary to change the normally variable winning ball device 6B between the open state and the closed state in the advantageous change mode by the control to increase. Note that any one of these controls may be performed, or a plurality of controls may be combined and performed. In such a high base state, the time required for the next variable display result to be a "big hit" is shortened. In the high base state, control may be performed to make the average variable display time (execution time of the special view game) shorter than that in the normal state (a so-called time saving state).

  In this embodiment, when controlled to the positive variation state, it is also controlled to the high base state. That is, in this embodiment, the game state is either controlled to the normal state, or controlled to the positive change state and the high base state (also referred to as the high probability high base state).

  In this embodiment, when the gaming ball that has won the big winning opening in the big hit gaming state enters the probability variation detection area 40 (when detected by the probability variation detection switch 24), the game immediately after the end of the big hit gaming status The state is a high probability high base state. As described above, in the case of the short opening in the big hit gaming state, since the opening period of the big winning opening is very short, it is very difficult to win the big winning opening. For this reason, the gaming state after the short-term opening big-hit gaming state (the subsequent gaming state when the big hit type is “5R short-term”) is not the high probability high base state but the normal state. On the other hand, in the case of the normally open big hit gaming state, since the open period of the big winning opening is long, winning to the big winning opening is easy. And, in this embodiment, since all the game balls that have won the big winning opening enter into the probability variation detection area 40 (that is, usually, since the entry of the game balls into the probability variation detection area 40 occurs) The gaming state after the jackpot gaming state (the subsequent gaming state when the jackpot type is "5R normal") is usually a high probability high base state. However, during the normal opening big hit gaming state, when the winning of the big winning opening has never occurred, even after the normal opening big hit gaming state, the gaming state may become normal state (but this Such things occur only in special cases, such as when the player does not intentionally launch the game ball.)

  Also, the high probability high base state continues until the next big hit gaming state is controlled. The high probability high base state is temporarily ended during the next big hit gaming state, and when the next big hit gaming state is the normally open big hit gaming state and the game ball enters the probability change detection area 40 , Will be resumed. In this way, the high probability high base state will be continued as long as it is continuously controlled to the normally open big hit gaming state (unless it is controlled to the short-term open big hit gaming state). In this embodiment, even if there is a period of transitioning to the normal state by being controlled to the big hit gaming state in between, if the high and high base state before and after that is in the whole state, Since it can be seen in one high probability high base condition, it is expressed that the high probability high base condition is continued. As described above, the period of the high probability high base state to be continued includes the period in which the jackpot gaming state becomes the normal state.

  The high probability high base state ends once during the next big hit gaming state, but is not resumed when the next big hit gaming state is a short-term open big hit gaming state. In this way, after the short-term open jackpot gaming state, it is not controlled to the high probability high base state. That is, the high probability high base state until then is ended by the short-term open jackpot gaming state. Strictly, by being controlled to the short-term opening big hit gaming state, although the previous high probability high base state ends, it is not controlled again to the high probability high base state after the short-term opening big hit gaming state So (because the high probability high base state will not continue), it can be said that the high open high base state until then is ended by the short-term opening big hit gaming state.

  Here, the game of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in this embodiment will be briefly described.

  First, in the normal state (at the start of a game, etc.), the second start winning opening formed by the normally variable winning ball device 6B and the large winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 are both in a closed state. As a result, the player performs a left strike which is likely to cause a winning to the first starting winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A.

  When the player is hit left and a winning on the first starting winning opening has occurred, a first special figure game (variable display of the first special figure) is executed. The jackpot type when the variable display result of the first special view game becomes “big hit” is either “5R normal” or “5R short-term”. If the jackpot type is "5R short-term", it is controlled to short-term opening big hit gaming state, but since the opening period of the big winning opening is extremely short, it is not possible to win the big winning opening, the short opening big hit gaming After the state, it becomes normal again. On the other hand, when the big hit type is "5R normal", it is controlled to the normal opening big hit gaming state, but because the opening period of the big winning opening is long, usually the winning to the big winning opening occurs, When the game ball enters the probability change detection area 40, the high probability high base state is started after the end (immediately after the end) of the normal opening big hit gaming state. In the jackpot gaming state, a right-handed game is performed to aim for the big winning opening.

  When the jackpot high probability high base state is started, the high base control makes it easy to generate “per game” in the game (for example, “per game” with a probability of 1/2), Since the second start winning opening is opened and the second start winning is likely to occur, the player makes a right strike. In this embodiment, in the normal state, the display result of the common-play game is hardly "per common" (for example, the probability of "per common" is 1/100, etc.), Even if the right strike is performed in the normal state, the second starting winning opening is hardly opened, and the second starting winning does not occur. Because of this, in the normal state, the player strikes the left.

  When the player is hit to the right and a winning on the second starting winning opening occurs, a second special figure game (variable display of the second special figure) is executed. The jackpot type when the variable display result of the second special view game becomes "big hit" is only "5R normal". For this reason, when the "big hit" is derived and displayed in the second special view game, it is controlled to the normally open big hit gaming state, and usually a winning to the big winning opening occurs, whereby to the probability variation detection area 40 When the game ball enters, and the jackpot game state is over, the game ball is controlled again to the high probability high base state (the high probability high base state continues). In this embodiment, since the execution time of the second special view game (variable display period, which will be described later, second special view fluctuation time) is set extremely short, it is possible to hit the right in the high probability high base state When the game is played, the second special view game is frequently executed. In the high probability high base state, since the possibility of being a "big hit" is also high, the "big hit" is easily generated as the second special figure game is executed frequently. For this reason, in the high probability high base state which continues, “big hit” of the 2nd special figure game occurs with high frequency, the frequency where it is controlled to usually opening big hit game state becomes high in the middle (with 2nd special figure game , "5R short-term" "big hit" does not occur, at the time of the big hit in the second special figure game is always controlled to the normally open big hit gaming state.), As a result, more prize balls are obtained become.

  On the other hand, the game ball that was hit in the high probability high base state but could not win the second start winning opening, and the game ball that could not win the big winning opening in the normally open big hit gaming state is the first start winning opening There is a possibility of winning. When the game ball wins the first start winning opening, the first special view game is started, and when the variable display result is "big hit" of "5R normal", it is controlled to the normally open big hit gaming state, After that, normally, since the high probability high base state is established, the high probability high base state is again transitioned (high probability high base state continues). However, when the first special view game is started and the variable display result is "big hit" of "5R short term", it is controlled to the short term open big hit gaming state, and the subsequent gaming state becomes the normal state As a result, the high probability high base state is not controlled (the high probability high base state ends).

  As described above, the high probability high base state basically continues as long as a "big hit" occurs in the second special view game (because the big hit type is only "5R normal"), and continues for a long time. If the high probability high base condition continues for a long time, many "5R normal" "big hit" occurs and many prize balls are obtained. On the other hand, there is a possibility that the high probability high base state may be ended by the occurrence of the "big hit" in the first special view game (the high probability high base state is terminated by the "5R short-term" big hit " For). As described above, the execution of the second special view game in the high certainty high base state leads to being controlled to the normally open big hit gaming state, and a chance of obtaining many prize balls is created, which is desirable for the player is there. On the other hand, the execution of the first special view game is not desirable for the player because it may end the high probability high base state. In this embodiment, such a setting enhances the gameplay. In addition, during the big hit game state, in order to return to normal condition once, even if it is hit to the right, it is difficult for the second start winning opening to be in the open state (because it is hard to hit a flat figure), the second starting winning opening. Winnings are less likely to occur. Further, in this embodiment, the execution time (variable display period, which will be described later, first special figure fluctuation time) of the first special figure game in the high probability high base state is set to be longer than normal time, Variable display results are derived less frequently, which lengthens the period until the "big hit" (that is, a "5R short-term" big hit that triggers the termination of the high probability high base state occurs) Long), to improve the gameplay.

  The period in which the high probability high base state continues is also a chance period since it is a period in which many winning balls can be obtained. The chance period also includes a period in which the gaming state is in the normal state in the big hit gaming state. In the chance period, various effects described later are performed. For example, a chance period effect (for example, FIG. 53) for notifying a chance period, a remaining time notification (for example, FIG. 53) for notifying a period where the chance period is not at least completed as the remaining time for the chance period For example, an extended notification (such as FIG. 54) which is an effect to be extended, or a specific effect (such as FIG. 55) in which a sense of crisis at the end of the chance period ends when the remaining time by the remaining time notification becomes “0”. The specific effect may be executed at the end of the execution period of the first special view game. The chance period ends with the end of the specific effect. Thereafter, when the variable display result of the first special view game in which the specific effect is executed is the "big hit" of "loss" or "5R normal", the chance period comes again. Further, the specific effect is an effect that gives a sense of crisis at the end of the chance period, and in this embodiment, it is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbol corresponding to the first special figure game, and corresponds to the second special figure game. Not run.

  Here, the relationship between the first special view game and the second special view game in each gaming state will be described with reference to FIG. In the normal state, basically it is left-handed and right-handed, and even when the game ball passes through the passing gate 41, there is hardly any "per hit", so usually only the first special view game Is executed (see FIG. 4A). At the time of high probability high base, since there is a possibility that the game ball wins in either of the 1st starting winning a prize opening and the 2nd starting winning a prize opening, the 1st special figure game and the 2nd special figure game parallel Can be implemented. At this time, since the average execution period (variable display period) of the first special view game is set longer than the average execution period of the second special view game, the second special view game is , And is executed more frequently than the first special view game (see FIG. 4 (B)). In addition, when a "big hit" occurs in one of the first special figure game and the second special figure game (displayed and displayed) and is controlled to the big hit gaming state, the process relating to the other special figure game is temporary It is interrupted (it resumes if the big hit game state ends). In particular, when the other special figure game is being executed, the other special figure game being executed is temporarily suspended (when the big hit gaming state ends, the special figure game is resumed) (FIG. 4C). And (D)).

  In the "left", "middle" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided in the area 5A etc. of the image display device 5, corresponding to the start of the first special view game, Variable display of the decorative design is started. Then, a period from when variable display of the decorative symbol is started to when variable display is ended by stop display of the decorative symbol in each of the left, middle, and right decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. In (during variable display), the variable display mode of the decorative symbol may be a predetermined reach mode (reach is established).

  Here, the reach mode refers to a decorative pattern that has not been stopped yet displayed when the decorative pattern stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 (especially the area 5A) constitutes a part of the big hit combination. The display mode in which the fluctuation continues, or the display mode in which all or some of the decorative patterns fluctuate in synchronization while constituting all or part of the big hit combination. It is. Specifically, in "left", "middle" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C and 5R (for example, "left" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R) in advance The decorative pattern display area (for example, "inside") which is not displayed as stopped when the decorative pattern (for example, the decorative symbol showing "7" alphanumeric characters) constituting the defined big hit combination is stopped and displayed In the display mode in which the decorative pattern changes in the symbol display area 5C, etc., or the decorative pattern is a big hit in all or part of the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", "right" It is a display mode which is fluctuating synchronously while constituting all or a part of the combination.

  Also, in response to the reach mode, the variation speed of the decorative symbol is reduced, or a character image (effect image imitating a person or the like) different from the decorative symbol is displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 Or, by changing the display mode of the background image, reproducing and displaying a moving image different from the decorative pattern, or changing the fluctuation mode of the decorative pattern, a different rendering operation than before reaching the reach mode is executed. May be Such a rendering operation as displaying a character image or a display mode of a background image, reproducing and displaying a moving image, and a change mode of a decorative pattern is referred to as reach production display (or simply reach production). In addition, the image of the reach effect is displayed in the area 5A. In the reach effect, not only the display operation in the image display device 5, but also the sound output operation by the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation (flashing operation) in the light emitter such as the game effect lamp 9, etc. An operation mode different from the previous operation mode may be included.

  As the rendering operation in the reach rendering, a plurality of types of rendering patterns (also referred to as “reach patterns”) having different operation modes (rendering modes) may be prepared in advance. Then, the possibility of becoming a "big hit" (also referred to as "reliability" or "big hit reliability", "expected degree" or "big hit expectation") differs depending on the presentation mode in each reach effect. That is, the possibility that the variable display result will be the "big hit" can be differentiated depending on which of the plurality of reach effects is executed.

  In this embodiment, as an example, reach effects such as normal, super A, and super B are set in advance (see FIG. 15). The supermarkets A to B are so-called super reach reach effects. Hereinafter, the reach production of Super A may be referred to as Super Reach A, and the reach production of Super B may be referred to as Super Reach B. Normal reach production may be called normal reach. Super reach A and super reach B are started after (or during the execution of) normal reach. In other words, Super Reach A and Super Reach B will develop from Normal Reach.

  Although the details will be described later, the reach effect is performed at the time of execution of the variable display of the decorative symbol performed corresponding to the first special view game in the normal state (see FIG. 52 and the like). On the other hand, in the high-accuracy high-base state, since the effect in the chance period is executed, the variable display of the decorative symbol executed corresponding to the first special view game is normally at the left corner of the area 5A of the image display device 5. It is performed, and a reach effect etc. are not performed (However, a variable display mode may become a reach mode, or a specific effect which runs a sense of crisis of completion | finish of a chance period may be performed.).

  When the first special view display result, which is the variable display result in the first special view game, is a "big hit", a finalized combination of a predetermined big hit combination on the screen of the image display device 5 (in the area 5A etc. The symbol is derived and displayed. As an example, the same decorative pattern is aligned and stopped on the predetermined effective line in the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", "right" (for example, "7" In addition, although the details will be described later, in this embodiment, different decorative symbols are displayed in line according to the situation. .

  When the first special view display result is "loss", the decorative display variable display mode does not become a reach mode, and an ornament constituting a predetermined non-reach combination (for example, a combination of all different decorative designs) When the symbol is stopped and displayed, a finalized decorative symbol as a non-specific display result may be derived and displayed. Moreover, when the first special view display result is "loss", after the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becomes the reach mode, a predetermined reach combination (it becomes the reach mode but on the predetermined effective line) By stopping and displaying the decorative symbols constituting the combination) in which the same decorative symbols are not aligned, the finalized decorative symbols to be non-specific display results may be derived and displayed.

  In an area 5B provided at the lower right of the display area of the image display device 5, for example, an image indicating that the second special view game is being executed is displayed corresponding to the second special view game (for example, identification An image for notifying the result of the variable display in the second special view game (display result as a kind of variable display of information (variable display game), an image of “o” and an image of “x” are variably displayed) Or the like) and the like.

  During the big hit gaming state when the "big hit" is derived in the first special view game, it is informed that it is a big hit gaming state, and effects such as notifying that the chance period has come or not, etc. are executed (See FIG. 52, FIG. 55, etc.). During the big hit gaming state when the "big hit" is derived in the second special figure game, mainly the effect during the chance period is being executed, so special effects such as being notified that the big hit gaming state is It is not basically executed, and an image to the effect that a big hit gaming state is in effect is displayed in the area 5B (FIG. 56, etc.). In addition, when "big hit" is derived and displayed in one of the special figure games (when a "big hit" occurs), the processing relating to the other special figure game is interrupted during the period of the big hit gaming state, so it is interrupted. The fact of being displayed is displayed in the area 5A (when the first special view game is interrupted) or the area 5B (when the second special view game is interrupted) (FIG. 55, FIG. 56, etc.).

  Next, main operations (actions) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described. In the following, the operation will be described with reference to a flowchart or the like, but in each operation (each process), in actuality, a process not appearing in the flowchart may be appropriately performed. First, main operations on the main substrate 11 side will be described.

  In the main substrate 11, when power supply from a predetermined power supply substrate is started, the gaming control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes predetermined processing to be gaming control main processing. When the game control main processing is started, the CPU 103 sets the interrupt prohibition and then performs necessary initialization. In this initial setting, for example, the RAM 101 is cleared. Clearing of the RAM 102 is performed, for example, by operating an operation means for initialization such as a clear switch (not shown) provided on the pachinko gaming machine 1 when the power is turned on. This operation is performed, for example, outside business hours of the game arcade. Further, the register setting of the CTC (counter / timer circuit) built in the game control microcomputer 100 is performed. As a result, thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing. When initialization is complete, after enabling the interrupt, it enters loop processing. In the game control main process, after the process for restoring the internal state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the state at the time of the previous power supply stop (power cut off due to a power failure or the like), loop processing is performed. (For example, when the predetermined data is stored in the RAM 101 when the power is turned on (turned on) without pressing the clear switch (for example, when the power is turned off).

  When the CPU 103 having executed such a game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives an interrupt request, the CPU 103 sets the interrupt disable state and executes predetermined game control timer interrupt processing.

  The CPU 103 performs, for example, a switch process, a main side error process, and an information output process in the game control timer interrupt process, and then performs a game random number update process, a special symbol process process, a normal symbol process process, A process for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 such as a command control process is performed. At the end of the game control timer interrupt process, an interrupt enabled state is set. As a result, the game control timer interrupt process is executed each time a timer interrupt occurs, that is, every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) which is the supply interval of the interrupt request signal.

  The switch processing is performed by determining whether detection signals are input from various switches such as the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, the second start port switch 22B, the count switch 23, and the probability change detection switch through the switch circuit 110. This is a process for determining for each switch whether or not each switch is in the on state (that is, whether or not the game ball has entered or passed). In the switch processing, for example, transmission setting of a winning ball number command indicating the number of winning balls corresponding to the switch determined to be in the on state is also performed. The prize ball quantity command is transmitted to the payout control board in the command control processing, and the payout control board controls the ball payout device when this command is received, and pays out the prize balls by the number of the prize balls indicated by the command. Execute the process

  The main side error processing is processing for diagnosing abnormality of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and enabling generation of a warning if necessary according to the result of the diagnosis.

  The information output process is a process of outputting data such as jackpot information, start information, probability fluctuation information and the like supplied to a hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example.

  The game random number updating process is a process for updating at least a part of the plurality of types of game random numbers used on the main substrate 11 side by software. As an example, the random numbers for gaming used on the main substrate 11 side include a random number value MR1 for determining the special image display result, a random number value MR2 for determining the big hit type, a random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern, A random number MR4 for determining the figure display result, a random number MR5 for determining the big hit type, and a random value MR6 for determining the variation pattern may be included. The random number values MR1 to MR3 are for the first special view game (variable display of the first special view). The random number values MR4 to MR6 are for the second special view game (variable display of the second special view).

  The random number values MR1 and MR4 for special figure display result determination are used to decide whether or not the variable display results such as special symbols in the first special figure game or the second special figure game are controlled to the big hit gaming state as "big hit". It is a random number value to be used, and can take any value from “1” to “65535”.

  The random number values MR2 and MR5 for determining the jackpot type are random number values used to determine the jackpot type as either "5R normal" or "5R short-term" when the variable display result is "big hit". , "1" to "100" can take any value.

  The random number values MR3 and MR6 for determining the fluctuation pattern are used to determine the fluctuation pattern in the first special figure or the second special figure or the variable display of the decorative pattern as any of a plurality of previously prepared fluctuation patterns. It is a random number value and can take any value of "1" to "251".

  In the special symbol process processing, the value of the first special drawing process flag provided in the RAM 102 is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the first special drawing game (variable display of the first special drawing) Determination of whether or not to control the variable display result as a "big hit" to the big hit gaming state, the determination of the variation pattern, the control of the display operation in the first special symbol display device 4A based on the determination result (first special figure of the game Execution) Various processes are selected and executed in order to perform control of a round game in the big hit gaming state (execution of the big hit gaming state) and the like in a predetermined procedure. In the special symbol process processing, the value of the second special view process flag provided in the RAM 102 is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the second special view game (variable display of the second special view) Determination of whether or not to be controlled in the big hit gaming state as a "big hit" variable display results) and the determination of the variation pattern, the control of the display operation in the second special symbol display device 4B based on the determination result (second special figure Various processes are selected and executed in order to execute the game execution), the round game control in the big hit gaming state (execution of the big hit gaming state), and the like in a predetermined procedure. The details of the special symbol process process will be described later, but the special symbol process process is executed each time a timer interrupt occurs, thereby determining the variable display result and the variation pattern in the first special figure game and the second special figure game, Execution of the first special view game and the second special view game based on the determination, the big hit gaming state and the like are realized.

  In the normal symbol process processing, for example, when the gaming ball passes the passing gate 41 (for example, when it is determined that the gate switch 21 is turned on in the switch processing), the number of reservations has reached the upper limit number If there is not, the holding storage of the common drawing game (for example, extracting the random number value and storing it in the RAM 102) or the holding display (the random number value stored in the RAM 102) is used to determine the variable display result of the common drawing game Or, determine the fluctuation pattern (such as fluctuation time) of the common game, or control the display operation (for example, lighting and extinguishing of the segment LED) according to the fluctuation pattern and execute the variable display of the normal symbol And the variable display result of the common drawing game is derived and displayed, or when the variable display result is "per common drawing", the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B (second starting winning opening) Or carried out the process of the open state. The normal symbol process process is executed each time a timer interrupt occurs, so that a regular drawing game is executed or the predetermined variable opening of the ordinary variable winning ball device 6B (second start winning opening) at the time of "per common" is opened. A state etc. are realized.

  The command control process is a process of transmitting a control command from the main board 11 to a sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 or the like. As an example, in special symbol process processing, ordinary symbol process processing, switch processing, etc., transmission setting of control command (such as effect control command) (for example, storage address value of control command to be sent is stored in RAM 102) is performed In the command control process, a process of actually transmitting the control command set for transmission to the effect control board 12 or the like is performed. In this transmission process, a production control INT signal or the like is used to transmit a control command.

  After executing the command control process, the game control timer interrupt process is ended after setting to the interrupt enabled state.

  Here, main control commands transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by the command control process will be described with reference to FIG. "(H)" indicates that it is a hexadecimal number.

  The command 8001 (H) is an effect control command (first variation start designation command) for designating start of variable display (variation) of the first special symbol. The command 8002 (H) is an effect control command (second change start designation command) for designating start of variable display (variation) of the second special symbol. In addition, you may make it include the information which shows whether the variable display of a 1st special symbol is started or the variable display of a 2nd special symbol is started in the below-mentioned fluctuation pattern designation command. These fluctuation start designation commands are transmitted and set at the time of setting of a fluctuation pattern, together with the fluctuation pattern designation command and the like.

  Command 81XX (H) is a variation pattern (see FIG. 15) such as a decorative symbol variably displayed in region 5A of image display device 5 corresponding to the variable display of the special symbol, or a predetermined image displayed in region 5B. It is an effect control command (variation pattern designation command) for designating a pattern (variation pattern) (see FIG. 28) of variable display. In this embodiment, the variation pattern is a pattern of a first special view game or a second special view game (in particular, a special view variation which is a period from when variable display is started to when a variable display result is derived). Time) is also specified. In this embodiment, a variation pattern specification command corresponding to each variation pattern is set. For example, a unique number (variation pattern number) is assigned to each fluctuation pattern, and the number is set to “XX” in the command (for example, “01” in the case of the fluctuation pattern PA1-1). The fluctuation pattern specification command is also a command for specifying the start of fluctuation of the decorative pattern, and is set to be transmitted when setting the fluctuation pattern. The variation pattern specification command may be another command for the variation pattern of the first special figure and the variation pattern of the second special figure.

  The command 8CXX (H) is an effect control command (display result specifying command) for specifying whether or not the variable display result is a big hit, and specifying a big hit type (that is, variable display result). In this embodiment, a display result designation command corresponding to each display result is set. For example, a unique number is assigned to each display result, and the number is set to "XX" in the command (for example, "big hit" of "00" if "missing", and 5R type is "5R normal" If so "01" etc.). The display result specification command is transmitted and set at the time of setting of the fluctuation pattern, together with the fluctuation pattern specification command and the like.

It is 1 symbol decision specification command). Command 8F02 (H) terminates the second special view game (display of an image indicating that the second special view game is being executed in area 5B, etc.) and results in variable display (variable in the second special view game) It is an effect control command (second symbol determination and specification command) for designating that the image for notifying the display result is derived and displayed. These symbol determination specification commands are set to be transmitted at the end of the special figure game.

  The command 95XX (H) is an effect control command (playing state designation command) for designating a playing state. In this embodiment, a game state designation command corresponding to each of the game states is set. For example, if the gaming state is a normal state (low probability low base), "XX" is set to "00". For example, if the gaming state is a high probability high base state, “XX” is set to “01”. The game state designation command is transmitted and set when the game state changes.

  Command A 001 (H) is an effect control command (first hit start designation command) for specifying the start of the big hit gaming state (start of fanfare, etc.) controlled based on the fact that the first special view game has become a "big hit". ). The command A 002 (H) is an effect control command (second hit start specification command) for specifying the start of the big hit gaming state (start of fanfare, etc.) controlled based on the second special view game becoming a "big hit". ). In addition, a fanfare is an effect for notifying that a big hit gaming state has been performed, which is executed at the start of the big hit gaming state. In the case of the second special view, the effect of the fanfare may not be particularly executed (for example, a notification that the jackpot gaming state has been made is performed, but a special effect is performed corresponding to the notification. It doesn't have to be, and the notification that the jackpot gaming state has been reached may not be carried out). The hit start designation command is set to be transmitted when the big hit gaming state is started.

  The command A 301 (H) is an effect control command (first hit end designation command) for specifying the end of the big hit gaming state (such as the start of ending) controlled based on the fact that the first special view game has become a "big hit". ). The command A 302 (H) is an effect control command (second hit end designation command) for specifying the end of the big hit gaming state (such as the start of ending) controlled based on the second special view game becoming a "big hit". ). In addition, ending is an effect which is carried out at the end of the big hit game state, and notifies that the big hit game state is ended. In the case of the second special view, the ending effect may not be executed particularly (for example, a notification that the big hit gaming state is ended is performed, but a special effect is executed corresponding to the notification It does not have to be done, and notification of the end of the jackpot gaming state may not be carried out). The hit termination designation command is set to be transmitted when the last round game is finished.

  The command B100 (H) is an effect control command (first start opening winning combination designating command) for designating that the first starting winning combination has occurred due to the game medium entering the first start winning opening. The command B 200 (H) is an effect control command (second start opening winning combination designation command) specifying that the second start winning has occurred due to the game medium entering the second start winning opening. The first starting opening winning combination designation command and the second starting opening winning combination designation command may be collectively referred to as a starting opening winning combination designation command. These commands are transmitted and set in a start winning determination process described later.

  The command C1XX (H) is an effect control command (first special figure hold storage number designation command) for specifying the first special view hold storage number. "XX" indicates the number of first special view pending storages. The command C2XX (H) is an effect control command (second special figure hold storage number designation command) for specifying the second special view hold storage number. "XX" shows the 2nd special figure reservation memory number. There are cases where the first special figure holding number of memories designation command and the second special figure holding number of memories designation command are collectively referred to as a special figure holding number of memories designation command. The special figure reservation storage number specification command is set to be transmitted at the timing when the first special view reservation storage number or the second special view reservation storage number can change.

  The command C4XX (H) is an effect control command (design determination result specification command) for specifying the determination result of the display result among the determination results at the start winning combination. The command C6XX (H) is an effect control command (variation pattern designation command) for designating the determination result of the variation pattern among the determination results at the start winning combination. Although the details will be described later, when the first start winning combination occurs, the random number values MR1 to MR3 are extracted. In this embodiment, regarding variable display corresponding to the extracted random number MR1 to MR3, the extracted random number MR1 to MR3 before the start condition of the variable display (first special view game) is satisfied. Based on the variable display result of the variable display is determined whether "big hit", the big hit type, and the variation pattern of the variable display (it will be described in detail later, the determination is that the gaming state is high It is judged under the assumption of being in the high altitude base state). The determination at the start winning is the determination, and this determination is performed in the winning random number value determination process at step S1006. A unique number is assigned to the judgment result of the display result, and that number is set to "XX" in the symbol specification command (for example, "big hit" of "00" for "lost" and "5R short-term") If it is a "big hit" of "01" and "5R normal", "02" etc.). A unique number is assigned to each variation pattern as the determination result of the variation pattern, and the number is set to "XX" in the variation pattern specification command. These commands are transmitted and set in a start winning determination process (step S1006) described later.

  The command C 701 (H) is a process related to the first special figure game (first special symbol process described later) by the big hit gaming state being started based on the display result of the second special figure game becoming “big hit”. This is a part of the processing, and is a command for designating that the execution of the first special figure game is interrupted (first interruption designation command). The command C 702 (H) is a process related to the second special figure game by starting the big hit gaming state based on the display result of the first special figure game becoming “big hit” (second special symbol process described later) This is a part of the processing, and is a command for designating that the execution of the second special drawing game is interrupted (second interruption designation command). The command C 801 (H) is a command for designating that the processing relating to the first special figure game being interrupted is resumed by the end of the jackpot gaming state (first resume designation command). The command C 802 (H) is a command for designating that the processing relating to the second special figure game being interrupted is resumed by the end of the jackpot gaming state (second resume designation command). The interruption designation command or the restart designation command is set to be transmitted when the process is interrupted or resumed.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of special symbol process processing. In this special symbol process processing, the CPU 103 first executes the first special symbol process processing (process processing for the first special figure) (step S921), and then, the second special symbol process processing (for the second special figure) Process) is executed (step S922). Thereafter, it is determined whether a demonstration display is to be performed (step S 923). For example, the first special view reserve storage number is “0” (can be identified by a first special view reserve storage count count value described later), and the second special view reserve storage count is “0” (second The special figure reserve memory count value can be specified), the high probability high base flag described later, etc. are all in the OFF state, and the first special figure and the second special figure are not fluctuating (for example, the first special figure described later) If the process flag and the second special view process flag are not "0", etc.) and is not controlled to the big hit gaming state (for example, the first big hit flag, the second big hit flag, etc. described later are all off) If, for example, the predetermined demonstration display condition is satisfied, it is determined that the demonstration display is to be performed (step S923; Yes).

  When performing demonstration display (step S923; Yes), after performing predetermined demonstration display setting (step S924), special symbol normal processing ends. In this demonstration display setting, for example, a presentation control command (waiting customer demonstration designation command) for specifying a demonstration display (demonstration screen display) by displaying a predetermined effect image on the image display device 5, etc. It is determined whether transmission to the substrate 12 has been completed. At this time, if it has already been sent, the demo display setting is ended as it is. On the other hand, if not sent, the setting for sending the customer waiting demo specification command is made, and then the demonstration display setting is ended. In the effect control board 12, when the customer waiting demo specification command is transmitted, the demonstration screen is displayed. When the demonstration display is not performed (Step S923; No), the special symbol process processing ends.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the first special symbol process processing. In the first special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a first start winning determination process (step S101). FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the first start winning determination process performed in step S101.

  When the first start winning determination process is started, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the first start port switch 22A is in the on state based on the determination result of the switch process and the like (step S1001). At this time, if the first start opening switch 22A is in the on state (when the switch processing determines that the first start opening switch 22A is in the on state) (step S1001; Yes), the game ball enters (that is, Since the winning) to the first start winning opening has been detected, the number of first special view pending storages, which is the number of pending storages of the first special view game, becomes a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4") It is determined whether or not (step S1002). At this time, the CPU 103 counts the first special view pending storage number, which is a storage value of a first special view pending storage number counter (a counter for counting the first special view pending storage number) provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 By reading the value, it is only necessary to be able to specify the number of first to-be-saved storages. When the number of first special-image storages is not the upper limit (step S1002; No), the first special-image storage number count value is updated so as to be incremented by 1 (step S1003). Thus, the first special view reserve memory number count value is updated so as to increase by 1 when the game ball enters the first start winning opening and the first start condition of the first special view game is satisfied. Be done. Note that the CPU 103 controls the first hold indicator 25A to cause the first hold indicator 25A to provide a display capable of specifying the number of the first special view hold memory added by one (for example, the number of lighted LEDs) May be increased by one).

  After step S1003, the CPU 103 extracts a random number for the first start winning game corresponding to the occurrence of the first starting winning at the first start winning opening (step S1004). As an example, in the process of step S1004, a special figure display result is determined as a random number value for the first special figure game among numerical data updated by a random counter or the like provided in a predetermined area of random number circuit 104 or RAM 102. Numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for use, the random number value MR2 for determining the big hit type, and the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is extracted. Numeric data representing each random number value extracted in this manner is stored as reserve data at the top of the free entry in the first special view reserve storage unit provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 (step S1005). For example, the pending data is set in the first special view pending storage unit as shown in FIG.

  The first special figure reservation storage unit shown in FIG. 9 is a first special prize game which is generated by the game ball entering the first start prize hole formed by the normal prize ball device 6A, but has not been started yet. Store pending data for figure games. As an example, the first special view reserve storage unit is associated with the reserve number in the winning order (the order of detecting the game balls) to the first start winning opening, and based on the establishment of the first start condition by the entry of the game balls. The random number value MR1 or the random number value MR2 extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like, numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 or the like is stored as pending data until the number of memories reaches a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4"). The reserve data thus stored in the first special view reserve storage unit indicates that the execution of the first special view game (variable display of the first special view) is pending, and the variable display in the first special view game is Whether it is decided to control to the big hit gaming state based on the result (first special view display result), it can be judged whether the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becomes the specific mode (for example, reach mode etc.) It becomes pending storage information.

  Following the process of step S1005, a winning random number value determination process (step S1006) is performed. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the winning random number value determination process executed in step S1006.

  When the winning random number value determination process is started, the CPU 103 determines whether the random number value MR1 extracted in step S1004 is within the determination range of the big hit (step S402). The determination range of the jackpot may be the range of the determination value assigned to the determination result of “big hit” in the case of the positive change state in the first special chart display result determination table (see FIG. 12) described later. The CPU 103 determines whether the random value MR1 falls within the range of the determined value. In addition, here, the variable display result in the case where the variable display of the determination target this time (the first special view game executed by the winning of the first start winning opening this time) is executed during the high probability high base state As the determination range, the range of the determination value assigned to the determination result of “big hit” in the case of a positive change state is set as the determination range.

  After step S402, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the random value MR1 is within the determination range of the big hit (within the range of the determination value) (step S403), and if not within the determination range (step S403; No). ), Because the determination result of the variable display result of the variable display of this determination target (display result in the probability change state) is "missing", the symbol determination result specifying command for specifying the determination result of the display result as "loss" Transmission setting is performed (step S405). After that, the fluctuation pattern of the variable display to be judged this time is judged (step S406). In step S406, the CPU 103 matches the random number value MR3 based on the random number value MR3 extracted in step S1004 with reference to the first special figure loss time variation pattern determination table (details will be described later) in FIG. The fluctuation pattern assigned to the determined value is set as the present determination result.

  If it is determined in step S403 that the determination result is within the determination range (step S403; Yes), the determination result of the variable display result of the variable display to be determined this time (display result in the positive change state) is "big hit". The jackpot type is determined (step S409). In step S409, the CPU 103 refers to the first jackpot type determination table (details will be described later) of FIG. 13 based on the random number value MR2 extracted in step S1004, and assigns the determined value to match the random number value MR2. The jackpot type ("5R normal" or "5R short-term") is taken as the determination result of this time. Thereafter, the CPU 103 performs transmission setting of a symbol determination result specification command specifying the determination result of step S409 (display result of either "big hit" of "5R short-term" or "big hit" of "5R normal") (step S410). After that, the fluctuation pattern of the variable display to be judged this time is judged (step S411). In step S411, the CPU 103 matches the random number value MR3 with reference to the first special figure big hit time fluctuation pattern determination table (details will be described later) based on the random number value MR3 extracted in step S1004. The fluctuation pattern assigned to the determined value is set as the present determination result.

  After steps S406 and S411, the CPU 103 specifies the variation pattern determination result (determination results in steps S406 and S411) (that is, specifies the variation pattern determined this time) transmission setting of variation pattern determination result specification command (Step S413), transmission of the first special view reservation storage number specification command (a command for specifying the first special view reservation storage number count value added 1 in step S1003) and the first starting opening prize specification command The setting is performed (step S414).

  The processing at step S405 or S410, step S413, and step S414 is performed, and then the command control processing is performed, whereby the command at the start winning combination (design determination result specification command, fluctuation pattern determination result specification command, first special drawing The number of pending storage number designation command and the first starting opening winning combination designation command) are transmitted as one set.

  Referring back to FIG. 8, when the first start port switch 22A is in the off state (step S1001; No), when the number of first special view storages is the upper limit (step S1002; Yes), or after step S1006 The first start winning determination process ends.

  Referring back to FIG. 7, after step 101, the CPU 103 sets the value of the second special view process flag (flag used in the second special symbol process processing) provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 to "4" to "7". It is determined whether it is (step S102). During the period in which the value of the second special view process flag is “4” to “7”, as described later, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is based on the “big hit” derived in the second special view game. It is a period controlled to the jackpot gaming state (hereinafter, also referred to as a second jackpot period).

  If the value of the second special view process flag is "4" to "7" (step S102; Yes), that is, if the current is the second jackpot period, the first interruption specification is made after this period is started It is determined whether the command has not been sent (step S105).

  When the "big hit" is derived and displayed in the second special view game and the pachinko gaming machine 1 shifts to the big hit gaming state, in this embodiment, part of the first special symbol process processing is temporarily interrupted , It is resumed at the end of the jackpot gaming state (at the end of the second jackpot period). In particular, when the "big hit" is derived and displayed in the second special figure game during the execution of the first special figure game and the pachinko gaming machine 1 shifts to the big hit gaming state, the execution of the first special figure game is It is interrupted, and the first special drawing game resumes after the end of the big hit gaming state. The first interruption designation command designates this interruption to the effect control board 12. In this embodiment, it is determined whether the first interruption designation command has not been transmitted if the first interruption designation command transmission flag (the first interruption designation command is transmitted to the predetermined area of the RAM 102). A flag (off state) is provided at the time of resumption of processing, and this determination is performed by determining whether the flag is in the on state.

  When the first suspension specification command transmission flag is in the OFF state or the like and the first suspension specification command is not transmitted (step S105; Yes), it is necessary to transmit the first suspension specification command, so the first suspension is The designated command transmission flag is turned on and the transmission setting of the first interruption designated command is performed (step S106), and the first special symbol process processing is ended. The command thus set for transmission is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process, for example, after the special symbol process process is completed. If the first suspension specification command transmission flag is on, etc. and the first suspension specification command is already transmitted in one suspension (Step S105; No), the first special symbol process processing is ended as it is .

  If the value of the second special view process flag is not "4" to "7" (step S102; No), that is, if the current is not in the second jackpot period, whether or not the first interruption specifying command is transmitted It is determined (whether or not the first interruption designation command transmission flag is on) (step S103). If the first suspension specification command transmission flag is on or the like and the first suspension specification command is transmitted (step S103; Yes), suspension of part of the first special symbol process processing is executed Since it is stored, the CPU 103 performs a transmission process of a first restart specification command specifying restart of a part of the first special symbol process processing (such as restart of execution of the first special figure game) ( Step S104). In step S104, the first interruption designation command transmission flag is also reset to the off state. The command thus set for transmission is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process, for example, after the special symbol process process is completed. After the process of step S104, or when it is determined that the first interruption designation command transmission flag is off and the first interruption designation command is not transmitted (step S103; No, that is, the interruption was not immediately before) (In the case of step S110 to S117).

  By the processing of the above steps S102 to S106, the variable display result in the second special figure game becomes “big hit”, and during the period (second big hit period) in which the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state (1) A part of the special symbol process processing is interrupted, and the interrupted processing is resumed after the end of the period. In particular, when the "big hit" is derived and displayed in the second special view game and the pachinko gaming machine 1 shifts to the big hit gaming state during the execution of the first special view game, the execution of the first special view game ( Step S112 executed every timer interrupt is interrupted, and after the big hit gaming state ends, the first special figure game (step S112 executed every timer interrupt) resumes. In addition, at the time of interruption and resumption, control commands (a first interruption designation command and a first restart designation command) for notifying that are transmitted, and the effect control board 12 is notified of the interruption or resumption.

  In step S106, when the value of the first special figure process flag is "2" (during the period during which the first special figure game is being executed), etc., the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A is displayed. The transmission of the control signal (details will be described later) for updating the display may be interrupted, and thereafter, nothing will be displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A until the first special view game is resumed, It may be notified that the execution of the first special view game has been interrupted. In addition, when the CPU 103 determines that the value of the first special view process flag is “2” (during the execution of the first special view game) or the like when the CPU 103 determines No in step S105, the predetermined control signal The first special symbol display device 4A displays the first special symbol display device 4A for a predetermined period of time by displaying a lost symbol or the like of the first special view (or a predetermined symbol or the like for interruption). It may be informed that the execution of the figure game has been interrupted. Alternatively, while the transmission of the control signal for updating the display of the first special figure is not interrupted, the execution of the first special figure game is interrupted internally (for example, the elapsed time of the first special figure game described later) Of the first special symbol display device 4A may not be notified that the first special figure game has been interrupted.

  The CPU 103 selects and executes one of the processes in steps S110 to S117 according to the value (initial value is “0”) of the first special view process flag provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102.

  The first special symbol normal processing of step S110 is executed when the value of the first special drawing process flag is "0". FIG. 11 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in step S110 of FIG. 7 as the first special symbol normal process. In the first special symbol normal processing shown in FIG. 11, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the number of first special image storage blocks is "0" (step S1101). The CPU 103 may read the first special map hold storage count value and determine whether the read value is “0”.

  When the number of first special map reservations is other than “0” at step S1101 (step S1101; No), for example, the top area of the first special image storage unit (eg, storage area corresponding to reservation number “1” The numerical value data (random number values MR1 to MR3) indicating predetermined random number values are read out as pending data stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 (step S1102). Thereby, the game random number (first random winning game random number) extracted corresponding to the occurrence of the start winning (first start winning) at the first start winning opening in the process of step S1004 shown in FIG. 8 is read out. Be The numerical value data read out at this time may be stored, for example, in a first variation random number buffer provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 and temporarily stored.

  Subsequent to the process of step S1102, for example, the first special figure reserve memory number is updated so as to be decremented by 1 by subtracting the first special figure reserve memory number count value and updating, The storage content in the hold storage unit is shifted (step S1103). For example, the pending data stored in the storage area (the storage area corresponding to the pending numbers “2” to “4”) lower than the pending number “1” in the first special view pending storage unit is advanced one entry at a time shift.

  After executing one of the processes of step S1103, the first special view display result, which is the variable display result of the first special symbol (the variable display result in the first special view game), is "big hit" and "lost". It is determined to be either (step S1104). As an example, in the process of step S1104, the first special view display result determination table prepared by storing in advance in a predetermined area of the ROM 101 is selected and set in the use table for determining the first special view display result. Do. In the first special figure display result determination table, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, the numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random number value MR1 for special figure display result determination is "big hit" for the first special figure display result. It may be allocated to the determination result of which one of “losing” and “losing” to be, depending on whether or not the gaming state is a definite change state.

  The CPU 103 reads out the numerical value data indicating the random number value MR1 from the first variation random number buffer, and is set in the use table based on whether or not the gaming state is a definite variation state and the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1. By referring to the first special view display result determination table, either the "big hit" or the "losing" assigned to the decision value corresponding to the random value MR1 depending on whether the gaming state is the probability change state or not The determination result of may be determined as the first special view display result. When the high probability high base flag (flag that is turned on in the high probability high base state) provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 is in the on state, the CPU 103 may determine that the state is the probability variation state. For example, when the random value MR1 is "9000", the CPU 103 determines that the first special display result is "big hit" when the high probability high base flag is in the on state, and the high probability high base flag When it is in the off state, it is determined that the first special view display result is to be "lost".

  As shown in FIG. 12, in the case of the positive change state (high positive high base state), the first special display display result is determined to be "big hit" at a higher rate than in the non-positive change state. Therefore, based on, for example, the high probability high base flag being set to the on state at the end of the big hit gaming state, when the present is in the positive state (high probability high base), the first rather than the non positive state. 1 special figure display result is easy to become "big hit", it is easy to be in the big hit gaming state.

  Thereafter, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the first special view display result determined by the process of step S1104 is a "big hit" (step S1105). If the first special view display result is determined to be "big hit" (step S1105; Yes), the first big hit flag provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 is set to the on state (step S1106).

  Also, the big hit type (first big hit type) when the display result of the first special view game is "big hit" is determined to be any of a plurality of types (step S1107). As an example, in the process of step S1107, a first jackpot type determination table prepared in advance by storing in a predetermined area of the ROM 101 or the like is selected, and is set in the use table for determining the first jackpot type. In the first jackpot type determination table, the numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination may be allocated to “5R normal” or “5R short-term” as a result of determination of the jackpot type ( See Figure 13). The CPU 103 reads, from the first variation random number buffer, numerical value data indicating the random number value MR2 included in the gaming random number temporarily stored in the first variation random number buffer in step S1102, and based on the numerical value data indicating the read random number value MR2. The "5R normal" or "5R short-term" assigned to the determination value corresponding to the random number MR2 may be determined as the big hit type by referring to the first jackpot type determination table set in the use table.

  In this embodiment, there are "5R normal" and "5R short-term" as big hit types of "big hit" in the first special view game. As shown in FIG. 13, in this embodiment, the ratio in which “5R normal” is selected as the jackpot type is high.

  After executing the processing of step S1107, the jackpot type is stored (step S1108). The CPU 103 may store the big hit type by storing the big hit type buffer setting value (see FIG. 13) indicating the determination result of the big hit type in the first big hit type buffer provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102.

  If the first special view display result is not a "big hit" (step S1105; No), after executing step S1108, determine the first determined special symbol that is finally derived and displayed in the first special figure game ( Step S1111). As an example, when the first big hit flag is in the OFF state, a special symbol "-" predetermined as a lost symbol is determined as the first determined special symbol. On the other hand, when the first big hit flag is on, according to the big hit type determination result in step S1107 (according to the big hit type buffer setting value), any of the special symbols predetermined as multiple types of big hit symbols ( If the jackpot type is "5R normal", "7", if "5R short-term", "6") may be determined as the first determined special symbol.

  After executing the processing of step S1111, the value of the first special figure process flag is updated to "1" (step S1112), and the first special symbol normal processing is ended. When the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "1" in step S1111, when the next timer interrupt occurs, the variation pattern setting process of step S111 shown in FIG. 12 is executed.

  If the number of pending storages of the first special view game is "0" (step S1101; Yes), the first special symbol normal processing is ended.

  The first variation pattern setting process (the process of setting a variation pattern) in step S111 of FIG. 7 is executed when the value of the first special figure process flag is "1". FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S111 of FIG. 7 as the first variation pattern setting process.

  In addition, the fluctuation pattern is the contents of the variable display of the decorative symbol corresponding to the variable display of the first special figure (variable display mode) or the contents of the first special figure game (here, the special figure fluctuation time of the variable display (variable display The period from the start of the period to the derivation display of the display result) or the like may be specified.

  Here, FIG. 15 shows a variation pattern for the first special view used in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 15, in this embodiment, among the cases where the first special view display result is “loss”, the case where the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is “non-reach” not becoming the reach mode and the reach mode A fluctuation pattern is prepared in advance corresponding to each of the cases where "reach" is given, and also for cases where the first special view display result is "big hit".

  In this embodiment, the fluctuation pattern PA1-1 is prepared as a fluctuation pattern which is used when the gaming state is the normal state, and the variable display result of the decorative symbol is "loss" and "non-reach" is designated. There is. A fluctuation pattern PA2-1 which designates execution of normal reach after reach establishment as a fluctuation pattern which is used when the gaming state is a normal state and the variable display result is "loss" and designates "reach establishment", after reach establishment A fluctuation pattern PA2-2 for designating development from normal reach to super reach A and a fluctuation pattern PA2-3 for designating development from normal reach to super reach B after reach establishment are prepared.

  Fluctuation pattern PA3-1 which specifies execution of normal reach after reach is established as a fluctuation pattern when the gaming state is normal and the variable display result is "big hit", from super reach A to super reach A after reach is established A fluctuation pattern PA3-2 for designating to be developed into, and a fluctuation pattern PA3-3 for designating to be developed from normal reach to super reach B after reach establishment are prepared.

  In addition, it is used when the gaming state is high probability high base state (for the chance period), and, as the fluctuation pattern when the variable display result is “losing” and “reaching”, fluctuation pattern PA4 that specifies reach establishment -1 to PA 4-3 (reach effect is not particularly performed) are prepared.

  In addition, fluctuation patterns PA5-1 to PA5- for specifying reach establishment as fluctuation patterns to be used when the gaming state is a high probability high base state (for a chance period) and the variable display result is a "big hit". 3 (Leach production is not performed especially.) Is prepared.

  Although each of the above variation patterns designates the first special figure variation time (period from the start of the variable display of the first special figure to the derivation display of the display result) as shown in FIG. The first special figure fluctuation time is longer than the first special figure fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern used in the normal state.

  In the first variation pattern setting process shown in FIG. 14, the CPU 103 first determines whether the first big hit flag is in the on state (step S1201).

  When the first big hit flag is on (step S1201; Yes), the first special figure big hit time fluctuation pattern determination table according to the state of the high probability high base flag is set in the use table (step S1202) ). Thereafter, the variation pattern (the first special figure big hit time variation pattern) is determined with reference to the first special figure big hit time variation pattern determination table set in the use table (step S1203).

  In this embodiment, when the high probability high base flag is in the off state (that is, in the normal state), the first special figure big hit time fluctuation pattern determination shown in FIG. 16A is made in step S1202. Set table as usage table. When the high probability high base flag is in the on state (that is, in the high probability high base state), in step S1202, the first special figure big hit time fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 16 (B) is used. Set in the table. Each table is prepared by storing it in a predetermined area of the ROM 101 in advance.

  In the first special-case big hit variation pattern determination table, a numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination may be allocated to the determination result of the variation pattern. The CPU 103 falls under the random number value MR3 by referring to the first special figure big hit time fluctuation pattern determination table set as the use table based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 read from the first variation random number buffer. The variation pattern assigned to the determined value may be determined (selected) as the variation pattern to be used this time.

  If the first big hit flag is off (step S1201; No), the CPU 103 sets the first special figure loss time variation pattern determination table according to the state of the high probability high base flag in the use table (step S1201) S1207). After that, a variation pattern (a first special figure out-of-time variation pattern) is determined with reference to the first special figure out-of-time variation pattern determination table set in the use table (step S1208).

  In this embodiment, when the high probability high base flag is in the off state (that is, in the normal state), the first special figure loss time fluctuation pattern determination shown in FIG. 17A is performed in step S1207. Set table as usage table. When the high probability high base flag is in the on state (that is, in the high probability high base state), in step S1202, the first special figure loss time fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 17B is used. Set in the table. Each table is prepared by storing it in a predetermined area of the ROM 101 in advance.

  In the first special figure loss time variation pattern determination table, the numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination may be allocated to the determination result of the variation pattern. The CPU 103 falls under the random number value MR3 by referring to the first special figure loss time fluctuation pattern determination table set as the use table based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 read from the first variation random number buffer. The variation pattern assigned to the determined value may be determined (selected) as the variation pattern to be used this time.

  As can be seen from the determination ratios in FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, in the normal state, the jackpot expectation when the super reach B is executed (the possibility that the variable display result is “big hit”) is the highest, The jackpot expectation when A is executed is the next highest, and the jackpot expectation when the normal reach is not executed is the second highest.

  In addition, the determination ratio of each fluctuation pattern at the time of the high probability high base state can be arbitrarily changed. In each variation pattern, the contents of the table may be set so that the jackpot expectation is different.

  The jackpot expectation is, for example, (probability that the effect will be executed at the time of big hit) × (probability of becoming the big hit) / {(probability that the effect will be executed at the time of big hit) × (probability of becoming the big hit) + (except for big hit time (Probability that the effect will be executed) × (probability that will not be a big hit)}) (If the big hit expectation is “1”, the variable display result will always be a “big hit”. Hereinafter, the big hit expectation The same for degrees).

  As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, in the normal state, any one of the fluctuation patterns PA1-1, PA2-1 to PA2-3, and PA3-1 to PA3-3 for the normal state is selected, and the high probability and height are high. In the case of the base state, one of the variation patterns PA4-1 to PA4-3 and PA5-1 to PA5-3 for the high-probability high-base state is selected.

  Returning to FIG. 14, after performing any of the processes of steps S1203 and S1208, the first special figure fluctuation time is set (step S1209). The first special figure fluctuation time is, as described above, the first determination of the variable display result (the first special figure display result) after starting the fluctuation of the first special symbol in the first special figure game It is the required time until the special symbol is derived and displayed. The first special figure fluctuation time is designated by each of a plurality of fluctuation patterns prepared in advance (here, the first special figure fluctuation time is prepared corresponding to each fluctuation pattern so that each fluctuation pattern is (1) The special figure fluctuation time is specified.) The CPU 103 can set the timing at which the variable display result of the first special symbol or the decorative symbol is derived by setting the first special drawing fluctuation time designated by the fluctuation pattern selected in the processing of steps S1203 and S1208. The setting of the first special figure fluctuation time is performed, for example, by setting a timer value corresponding to the first special figure fluctuation time in a first game control process timer provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 or the like. Note that other time settings may be appropriately performed by setting timer values or the like.

  Following the process of step S1209, setting is made to start the variation of the first special symbol so as to start the first special figure game which is the special figure game in which the start condition is satisfied (step S1210). As an example, a setting is performed to transmit a control signal (drive signal) for updating the display of the first special view in the first special symbol display device 4A. Thereby, the control signal is transmitted, and variable display (variation) of the first special figure is started. When the CPU 103 starts variable display using the first special view, the CPU 103 controls the first hold indicator 25A to display a display capable of identifying the number of the first special view hold storage subtracted by one. It is also possible to cause the hold indicator 25A to perform (for example, to decrease the number of lighted LEDs by one).

  After executing the process of step S1210, transmission setting of a command at the start of variation of the special symbol is performed (step S1211). For example, the CPU 103 makes a first change start specification command, a change pattern specification command (a command specifying a change pattern determined in the above process) from the main substrate 11 to the effect control board 12, a display result specification command (determine in the above process) Transmission setting command for sequentially transmitting the first special map hold storage number specification command (the command for specifying the first special view hold storage number count value subtracted by 1 in the above processing). Do. The command set for transmission is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the above-mentioned command control process after the special symbol process process is completed, for example.

  After the process of step S1211 is executed, the value of the first special view process flag is updated to "2" (step S1212), and the first variation pattern setting process is ended. When the value of the first special view process flag is updated to "2" in step S1212, when the next timer interrupt occurs, the first special symbol variation process of step S112 shown in FIG. 7 is executed.

  The first special symbol variation process of step S112 in FIG. 7 is executed when the value of the first special view process flag is "2". The first special symbol variation process includes a process of subtracting one from the timer value of the first game control process timer, and the like (thereby measuring the execution time of the first special view game). If the first special symbol process processing is partially interrupted due to the determination of Yes in step S102, measurement of the execution time is also interrupted. And, when the timer value of the first game control process timer (timer value after subtracting 1) is not 0, the first special figure fluctuation time has not elapsed, so to execute the variable display of the first special figure game Control (for example, control to transmit a control signal (drive signal) to update the display of the first special view (including an update for maintaining the display of the special symbol for a predetermined time as appropriate. The same applies hereinafter) etc. A process for changing the first special figure is performed in the first special symbol display device 4A, and the first special symbol variation process is ended. On the other hand, when the timer value of the first game control process timer becomes 0 and the elapsed time from the start of the first special figure fluctuation reaches the first special figure fluctuation time set in step S111, (1) Stop the variation of the special symbol in the special symbol display device 4A, and stop and display the first determined special symbol (the first determined special symbol set in step S110) as the variable display result of the first special figure game. Display)) (It is good to control to continue to display the first fixed special symbol for a predetermined time.) Also, when it is stopped and displayed, the transmission setting of the first symbol fixed specified command is also performed, and the first special figure process flag The value is updated to "3", and the first special symbol variation process ends. Step S112 is repeatedly executed each time a timer interrupt occurs to realize variable display of the first special symbol (first special view game) and derived display of the determined special symbol (first special view display result). .

  The first special symbol stop process in step S113 of FIG. 7 is executed when the value of the first special view process flag is “3”. The first special symbol stop process is a process performed in response to the stop of the first special symbol (that is, the end of the first special view game). FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S113 of FIG. 7 as the first special symbol stop process.

  In the first special symbol stop process shown in FIG. 18, the CPU 103 first determines whether the first big hit flag is in the on state (step S1301). If the first jackpot flag is in the on state (step S1301; Yes), the high probability high base flag is turned off (if it is originally off, the off state is maintained). By this, at the time of big hit, the game state becomes normal state.

  Thereafter, the timer value corresponding to the first fanfare wait time (the wait time from the start to the end of the fanfare in the big hit gaming state, and a predetermined time) is set as the initial value to the first game control process timer After setting the number of round games in the jackpot gaming state (here, "5" regardless of the jackpot type) the first round number counter provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 (by the number of round games) It sets to the count initial value of the counter for counting a certain number of rounds (step S1304).

  Thereafter, the CPU 103 performs transmission setting of the first hit start designation command and the game state designation command (step S1305). The command set for transmission is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the above-mentioned command control process after the special symbol process process is completed, for example. It should be noted that since the gaming state designation command is transmitted again after the big hit ends, the transmission setting of the gaming state designation command may not be performed here. After step S1305, the first special view process flag is updated to "4" (step S1306), and the first special symbol stop process is ended.

  If the first big hit flag is off (step S1301; No), the first special figure process flag is updated to "0" (step S1307), and the first special symbol stop process is ended.

  The first big hit opening pre-processing of step S114 of FIG. 7 is executed when the value of the first special view process flag is “4”. In the first big hit opening pre-processing, for example, the timer value of the first game control process timer is decremented by one. If the timer value after subtraction is not “0”, the first fanfare wait time has not yet elapsed, so the first big hit opening pre-processing ends. When the timer value after subtraction is “0”, the first fanfare wait time has elapsed, and it is now the start timing of the round game. In this case, in order to start the round game, a process (for example, a process of supplying a solenoid drive signal to turn on the solenoid 82) to open the big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 Execute the upper prize period to open the big winning opening (time according to the jackpot type stored in step S1108. If the jackpot type stored in step S1108 is "5R normal", "5 seconds", "5R" If it is "short-term", set the timer value corresponding to "0.1 seconds" and the big hit type with the big hit type buffer setting value stored in the first big hit type buffer. Processing etc. are executed. When the process of opening the special winning opening is performed, the value of the first special view process flag is updated to "5", and the big hit opening pre-processing ends. By repeatedly performing step S114 each time a timer interrupt occurs, standby until the start of the round game (standby until the end of the fanfare) and start of the round game (opening of the big winning opening) are realized.

  The first big hit open processing in step S115 is executed when the value of the first special processing process flag is "5". In this first big hit opening process, the process of subtracting 1 from the timer value of the first game control process timer, the timer value after subtracting 1 and the game ball detected by the count switch 23 in one round game And the big winning opening is closed on the basis of the number of counters (a counter (provided in the RAM 102) that counts by one each time the count switch 23 is determined to be on in the switch process). It includes a process of determining whether or not it is time to do so.

  When it is determined that the timer value after subtracting 1 becomes 0, or it is determined that the detected number of gaming balls (count value of the counter) reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9), the special winning opening is closed. Since it is time to return to the state, the process to return the big winning opening to the closed state (for example, supply the solenoid drive signal to turn on the solenoid 82 or supply the solenoid drive signal to turn off the solenoid 82 As a process to turn off the solenoid 82) and a period for closing the special winning opening (a period of interval for a round game, which is set in advance, as a different period according to the jackpot type stored in step S1108. Processing that sets the timer value corresponding to) in the first game control process timer or processing that decrements the count value of the first round number counter by 1 There is executed. Further, when the special winning opening is closed, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "6", and the processing during the first big hit open ends.

  If the timer value after subtracting 1 does not become 0 and the number of detected game balls has not reached a predetermined number, processing to maintain the special winning opening in an open state (for example A process of supplying a solenoid drive signal for maintaining the open state is performed as necessary, and the first big hit open process ends.

  When the processing for maintaining the special winning opening in an open state is performed, for example, the processing shown in FIG. 19 is executed. In the process shown in FIG. 19, the CPU 103 determines whether the probability change detection switch 24 has been turned on (step S1401). For example, when it is determined that the change detection switch 24 is turned on, for example, if the probability change detection switch 24 is determined to be on in the switch processing (step S1401; Yes), in this case, When the ball has entered, the probability change detection switch flag provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 is turned on (if it is already on, the on state is maintained) (step S1402). When the probability change detection switch 24 is not turned on (step S1401; No), after step S1402, the process illustrated in FIG. 19 ends.

  By repeatedly performing step S115 each time a timer interrupt occurs, the special winning opening is opened until the closing timing, and finally the special winning opening is closed.

  The first jackpot post-processing in step S116 is executed when the value of the first special processing process flag is "6". In the first big hit opening post-processing, the process of determining whether the count value of the first round number counter has become "0", or the timer value of the first game control process timer when it has not become "0" Processing such as 1 reduction is performed.

  If it is determined that the count value of the first round number counter is “0”, it means that the round game has reached the upper limit number of times, so the first ending waiting time (big hit game) to the first game control process timer It is a waiting time from the start to the end of the ending in the state, which is a predetermined time), and the timer value corresponding to) is set in the first game control process timer. Further, the first hit end designation command is set to be transmitted, the first special processing process flag is updated to "7", and the like, and the first big hit post-processing is ended.

  When processing to reduce the timer value of the first game control process timer is performed, it is determined whether the timer value after decrementing by 1 is "0", and if it is not "0", the start of the round game is started Since it is not the timing, the first jackpot opening post-processing is ended with the big winning opening closed. If it is "0", it is the start timing of the round game, so the process to open the big winning opening, the upper limit period to open the big winning opening (big hit type stored in step S1108 is " If it is 5R normal, "5 seconds", if it is "5R short-term", "0.1 seconds", and the big hit type may be specified by the big hit type buffer setting value stored in the first big hit type buffer. A process of setting the corresponding timer value to the first game control process timer is executed. When processing etc. to open the special winning opening is executed, the value of the first special view process flag is updated to "5", and the first big hit opening post-process ends.

  Also in the step S116, the same process as the process of FIG. 19 may be executed to detect the entry of the gaming ball into the probability variation detection area 40.

  After the special winning opening is opened in step S114, each round game is realized by repeatedly executing S115 and S116 each time a timer interrupt occurs.

  The first big hit end process of step S117 of FIG. 7 is executed when the value of the first special view process flag is “7”. The first big hit end process is a process performed at the end of the big hit gaming state. FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S117 of FIG. 7 as the first big hit end process. In the first jackpot end process, the CPU 103 first determines whether the first ending waiting time has ended (step S1501). As an example, the timer value of the first game control process timer for which the first ending waiting time has been set above is decremented by "1" in step S1501 and it is determined whether the decremented timer value is "0" or not. Thus, it is determined whether the first ending waiting time has ended.

  If the first ending waiting time has not ended because the timer value decremented by 1 is not “0” or the like (step S1501; No), the CPU 103 ends the first big hit ending process. If the first ending waiting time has ended (step S1501; Yes), the CPU 103 determines whether the probability change detection switch flag is on (step S1502), and if the probability change detection switch flag is on ((step S1502) Step S1502; Yes), the high probability high base flag is turned on (step S1503). At this time, the probability change detection switch flag may be reset. When the probability change detection switch flag is off (step S1502; No), or after step S1503, the CPU 103 performs transmission setting of the game state specification command (command to specify the current game state) (step S1504) Thereafter, the first special process flag is updated to “0” (step S1505), and the first jackpot end process is ended. The command set for transmission is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the above-mentioned command control process, for example, after the special symbol process process is completed.

  The fact that the probability variation detection switch is in the on state means that the gaming ball has entered the probability variation detection area 40 when the special winning opening is opened. Therefore, in step S1503, by setting the high probability high base flag to the on state, thereafter, the high probability high base state is established (if the state before the current big hit gaming state is the normal state, the high probability high base state (Chance period) is started.If the previous big hit gaming state is the high probability high base state, the high probability high base state (chance period) is started again.)

  By the execution of steps S114 to S117 (the predetermined steps are repeatedly executed as necessary), the variable display result in the first special view game becomes "big hit", and the big hit type A corresponding big hit gaming state (short-term open big hit gaming state or normally open big hit gaming state) is realized.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing an example of the second special symbol process processing. In the second special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a second start winning determination process (step S201). FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing an example of the second start winning determination process performed in step S201.

  When the second start winning determination process is started, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the second start port switch 22B is in the on state based on the determination result of the switch process and the like (step S2001). At this time, if the second start opening switch 22B is in the on state (when the switch processing determines that the second start opening switch 22B is in the on state) (step S2001; Yes), the game ball enters (that is, Since the winning on the second starting winning opening has been detected, the second special view pending storage number, which is the pending storage number for the second special view game, becomes a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4"). It is determined whether or not (step S2002). At this time, the CPU 103 counts the second special view pending storage number, which is a storage value of a second special view pending storage number counter (a counter for counting the second special view pending storage number) provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 By reading the value, it is only necessary to be able to specify the number of second-special-page reserved storages. If the number of second special-image storages is not the upper limit (step S2002; No), the second special-image storage number count value is updated so as to be incremented by one (step S2003). Thus, the second special view reserve memory number count value is updated so as to increase by 1 when the game ball enters the second start winning opening and the second start condition of the second special view game is satisfied. Be done. Note that the CPU 103 controls the second hold indicator 25B to cause the second hold indicator 25B to perform a display capable of specifying the number of the second special view hold memory added by one (for example, the number of lighted LEDs) May be increased by one).

  After step S2003, CPU 103 extracts a random number for the second start winning game corresponding to the occurrence of the second start winning at the second start winning opening (step S2004). As an example, in the process of step S2004, the random number circuit 104 or random data provided by a random counter or the like provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 (such as a game control counter setting unit) As the numerical value, numerical data representing a random number value MR4 for determining the special image display result, a random number value MR5 for determining the big hit type, and a random number value MR6 for determining the variation pattern is extracted. Numeric data representing each random number value extracted in this manner is stored as reserve data at the head of the free entry in the second special view reserve storage unit provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 (step S2005). For example, the hold data is set in the second special view hold storage unit as shown in FIG.

  In the second special view reserve storage unit shown in FIG. 23, although the game ball enters the second starting winning opening formed by the normally variable winning ball device 6B and the second starting winning has occurred, the second starting winning opening has not been started yet The hold data of the special drawing game is stored. As an example, the second special view reserve storage unit is associated with the reserve number in the winning order (the detection order of the game balls) to the second start winning opening, and based on the establishment of the second start condition by the entry of the game balls. The CPU 103 stores the random number value MR4 or the random number value MR5 extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like, numerical data indicating the random number value MR6, etc. as pending data until the number of memories reaches a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4"). The reserve data thus stored in the second special view reserve storage unit indicates that the execution of the second special view game (variable display of the second special view) is pending, and the variable display in the second special view game Whether or not it is decided to control to the big hit gaming state based on the result (second special figure display result), the display mode of the image in the area 5B (including the second special figure fluctuation time of the second special figure game, etc.) It becomes holding storage information which makes it possible to determine etc.

  Subsequent to the process of step S2005, a second special view reserve storage count specification command (a command for specifying the second special view reserve storage count count value added 1 in step S2003), and a second start opening prize win specification command Transmission setting is performed (step S2006). Also, if the second start port switch 22B is in the off state (step S2001; No), if the number of the second special view pending storage is the upper limit (step S2002; Yes), or after step S2006, the second The start winning determination process ends.

  Referring back to FIG. 21, after step 201, the CPU 103 sets the value of the first special view process flag (the flag used in the first special symbol process processing) provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 to "4" to "7". It is determined whether it is (step S202). During the period when the value of the first special view process flag is “4” to “7”, as described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is based on the “big hit” derived in the first special view game. It is a period controlled to the jackpot gaming state (hereinafter, also referred to as a first jackpot period).

  If the value of the first special view process flag is "4" to "7" (step S102; Yes), that is, if the current is the first jackpot period, the second interruption specification is made after this period is started It is determined whether the command has not been sent (step S205).

  When the "big hit" is derived and displayed in the first special view game and the pachinko gaming machine 1 shifts to the big hit gaming state, in this embodiment, part of the second special symbol process processing is temporarily interrupted , It is resumed at the end of the big hit gaming state (at the end of the first big hit period). In particular, when the "big hit" is derived and displayed in the first special figure game and the pachinko gaming machine 1 shifts to the big hit gaming state during the execution of the second special figure game, the execution of the second special figure game is It is interrupted, and the second special figure game resumes after the end of the big hit gaming state. The second interruption designation command designates this interruption to the effect control board 12. In this embodiment, the determination as to whether or not the second interruption designating command has not been transmitted is made on the second interruption designating command transmission flag (when the second interruption designating command is transmitted, it is turned on to the predetermined area of the RAM 102). A flag (off state) is provided at the time of resumption of processing, and this determination is performed by determining whether the flag is in the on state.

  When the second suspension specification command transmission flag is in the OFF state or the like, and the second suspension specification command is not transmitted (step S205; Yes), the second suspension specification command needs to be transmitted, so the second suspension is necessary. The designated command transmission flag is turned on and the transmission setting of the second interruption designated command is performed (step S206), and the second special symbol process processing is ended. The command thus set for transmission is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process, for example, after the special symbol process process is completed. If the second interruption specification command transmission flag is on, etc. and the second interruption specification command has already been transmitted in one interruption (step S205; No), the second special symbol process processing is ended as it is .

  If the value of the second special view process flag is not "4" to "7" (step S202; No), that is, if the current second hit is not in the second jackpot period, whether or not the second interruption specification command is transmitted It is determined (whether or not the second interruption designating command transmission flag is in the on state) (step S203). If the second suspension specification command transmission flag is on or the like and the second suspension specification command is transmitted (step S203; Yes), suspension of part of the second special symbol process processing is executed Since it is stored, the CPU 103 performs a transmission process of a second restart specification command specifying restart of a part of the second special symbol process processing (such as restart of execution of the second special figure game) ( Step S204). In step S204, the second interruption designation command transmission flag is also reset to the off state. The command thus set for transmission is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process, for example, after the special symbol process process is completed. After the process of step S204, or when it is determined that the second interruption specification command transmission flag is off and the second interruption specification command is not transmitted (step S203; No, that is, the interruption was not performed immediately before) (In the case of step S210 to S217).

  By the processing of the steps S202 to S206, the variable display result in the first special figure game becomes "big hit", and the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state (first big hit period) (2) A part of the special symbol process processing is interrupted, and the interrupted processing is resumed after the end of the period. In particular, when the "big hit" is derived and displayed in the first special view game and the pachinko gaming machine 1 shifts to the big hit gaming state during execution of the second special view game, execution of the second special view game ( The step S112 and the like executed for each timer interrupt is interrupted, and the second special figure game (step S112 and the like executed for each timer interrupt) is resumed after the end of the big hit gaming state. Further, at the time of interruption and resumption, control commands (a second interruption designating command and a second restart designating command) for notifying that are transmitted, and the effect control board 12 is notified of the interruption or resumption.

  In step S206, when the value of the second special figure process flag is "2" (during the period in which the second special figure game is being executed), the second special symbol display device 4B displays the second special figure The transmission of the control signal (details will be described later) for updating the display may also be interrupted, and thereafter, nothing will be displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B until the second special view game is resumed, It may be notified that the execution of the second special view game has been interrupted. In addition, when the CPU 103 determines that the value of the second special view process flag is “2” (during the execution of the second special view game) when the CPU 103 determines No in step S205, etc., the predetermined control signal By setting to transmit the second special symbol display device 4B for a predetermined period of time by displaying a lost symbol or the like of the second special view (or a predetermined symbol or the like for interruption). It may be informed that the execution of the figure game has been interrupted. Alternatively, the transmission of the control signal for updating the display of the second special figure is not interrupted, but the execution of the second special figure game is interrupted internally (for example, the elapsed time of the second special figure game described later) Of the second special symbol display device 4B may not be notified on the appearance of the second special symbol display device 4B.

  The CPU 103 selects and executes one of the processes in steps S210 to S217 in accordance with the value (the initial value is “0”) of the second special figure process flag provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102.

  The second special symbol normal processing of step S210 is executed when the value of the second special figure process flag is "0". FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S210 of FIG. 21 as the second special symbol normal process. In the second special symbol normal processing shown in FIG. 24, the CPU 103 first determines whether the number of second special view reservations is "0" (step S2101). The CPU 103 may read the second special-image pending storage count value and determine whether the read value is “0”.

  When the number of second special figure holding storages is other than "0" at step S2101 (step S2101; No), for example, the top area of the second special drawing holding storage unit (for example, the storage area corresponding to holding number "1") As reserved data stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, numerical data (random number MR4 to MR6) indicating a predetermined random number is read out (step S2102). Thus, the game random number (second random winning game random number) extracted in response to the occurrence of the start winning (second start winning) at the second start winning opening in the process of step S2004 shown in FIG. 22 is read out. Be The numerical data read out at this time may be stored, for example, in a second variation random number buffer provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 and temporarily stored.

  Subsequent to the processing of step S2102, for example, the second special view reserve storage number is updated by subtracting 1 by subtracting the second special view reserve storage number count value, etc. The storage content in the hold storage unit is shifted (step S2103). For example, the pending data stored in the storage area (the storage area corresponding to the pending numbers "2" to "4") lower than the pending number "1" in the second special view pending storage unit is advanced by one entry each shift.

  After executing one of the processes in step S2103, the second special view display result, which is the variable display result of the second special symbol (the variable display result in the second special view game), is "big hit" and "lost". It is determined to be either (step S2104). As an example, in the process of step S2104, the second special view display result determination table prepared by, for example, storing in advance in a predetermined area of ROM 101 is selected and set in the use table for determining the second special view display result. Do. In the second special figure display result determination table, for example, as shown in FIG. 25, the numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random number value MR4 for special figure display result determination is "big hit" for the second special figure display result. It may be allocated to the determination result of which one of “losing” and “losing” to be, depending on whether or not the gaming state is a definite change state.

  The CPU 103 reads out the numerical data indicating the random number MR4 from the second variation random number buffer, and is set in the use table based on whether or not the gaming state is a definite variation state and the numerical data indicating the random number MR4. By referring to the second special view display result determination table, either the "big hit" or the "lost" assigned to the determination value corresponding to the random number MR4 depending on whether the gaming state is the probability change state or not The determination result of may be determined as the second special view display result. When the high probability high base flag (flag that is turned on in the high probability high base state) provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 is in the on state, the CPU 103 may determine that the state is the probability variation state. For example, when the random value MR4 is "9000", the CPU 103 determines that the second special view display result is "big hit" when the high probability high base flag is in the on state, and the high probability high base flag When it is in the off state, it is determined that the second special view display result is to be "lost".

  As shown in FIG. 25, in the case of the positive change state (high positive high base state), the second special display display result is determined to be the “big hit” at a higher rate than that in the non positive change state. Therefore, for example, based on the fact that the high probability high base flag is set to the on state at the end of the jackpot gaming state, the present is a definite change state (high probability high base), the first rather than the non definite change state. 2 Special figure display result is easy to become "big hit", it is easy to be in the big hit gaming state.

  After that, the CPU 103 determines whether the second special view display result determined by the process of step S2104 is a "big hit" (step S2105). If the second special view display result is determined to be "big hit" (step S2105; Yes), the second big hit flag provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 is set to the on state (step S2106).

  Also, the jackpot type (second jackpot type) when the display result of the second special view game is "big hit" is determined to be any of a plurality of types (step S2107). As an example, in the process of step S2107, a second jackpot type determination table prepared in advance by storing in a predetermined area of the ROM 101 or the like is selected and set in the use table for determining the second jackpot type. In the second jackpot type determination table, the numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random number value MR5 for jackpot type determination may be allocated to “5R normal” as the result of determination of the jackpot type (see FIG. 26). The CPU 103 reads out, from the second variation random number buffer, numerical data indicating the random number value MR5 included in the gaming random number temporarily stored in the second variation random number buffer in step S2102, and based on the numerical data indicating the read random number value MR5. The "5R normal" assigned to the determination value corresponding to the random number MR5 may be determined as the big hit type by referring to the second jackpot type determination table set in the use table.

  In this embodiment, there are "5R normal" and "5R short term" as the big hit type, but the "big hit" type of "big hit" in the second special view game is "5R normal" as shown in FIG. It has become only.

  After executing the processing of step S2107, the jackpot type is stored (step S2108). The CPU 103 may store the big hit type by storing the big hit type buffer setting value (see FIG. 26) indicating the determination result of the big hit type in the second big hit type buffer provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102.

  If the second special view display result is not a "big hit" (step S2105; No), after performing step S2108, determine the second determined special symbol that is finally derived and displayed in the second special figure game ( Step S2111). As an example, when the second big hit flag is in the OFF state, the special symbol "-" predetermined as the lost symbol is determined as the second determined special symbol. On the other hand, when the second big hit flag is on, according to the big hit type determination result in step S2107 (according to the big hit type buffer setting value), any of the special symbols predetermined as a plurality of big hit symbols ( Here, since the jackpot type is "5R normal", it becomes "7".) May be determined as the second determined special symbol.

  After executing the processing of step S2111, the value of the second special figure process flag is updated to "1" (step S2112), and the second special symbol normal processing is ended. When the value of the second special figure process flag is updated to "1" in step S2111, when the next timer interrupt occurs, the variation pattern setting process of step S111 shown in FIG. 21 is executed.

  If the number of pending storages of the second special figure game is "0" (step S2101; Yes), the second special symbol normal processing is ended.

  The second variation pattern setting process (process for setting a variation pattern) in step S211 of FIG. 21 is executed when the value of the second special figure process flag is "1". FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S211 of FIG. 21 as the second variation pattern setting process.

  In addition, the fluctuation pattern here is the variable display mode of the predetermined image corresponding to the variable display of the second special figure or the content of the second special figure game (here, the special figure fluctuation time of the variable display (variable display start Period) to the derivation display of the display result) and the like.

  Here, FIG. 28 shows a variation pattern for the second special view used in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 28, in this embodiment, the variation pattern PA6-1 corresponds to the case where the second special view display result is "loss" and the second special view display result is "big hit". (For "losing") and fluctuation pattern PA7-1 (for "big hit") are prepared in advance. Note that the variation pattern for the second special view is a common variation pattern regardless of the gaming state.

  Although each fluctuation pattern designates the second special figure fluctuation time (period from the start of the variable display of the second special figure to the derivation display of the display result) as shown in FIG. 28, the second special figure fluctuation time is each The variation pattern is common, and is extremely short compared to the variation pattern for the first special figure. For this reason, the variable display (second special view game) of the second special view can be executed frequently in a short time.

  In the second variation pattern setting process shown in FIG. 27, the CPU 103 first determines whether the second big hit flag is in the on state (step S2201).

  Then, if the second big hit flag is on (step S1201; Yes), the second special figure big hit time fluctuation pattern determination table is set in the use table (step S2202). Thereafter, the variation pattern (the second special figure big hit time variation pattern) is determined with reference to the second special figure big hit time variation pattern determination table set in the use table (step S2203).

  In this embodiment, in step S2202, a second special figure big hit time fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 29 is set in the use table. The table is prepared by storing it in a predetermined area of the ROM 101 in advance.

  In the second special-event big-hit variation pattern determination table, the numerical value (determination value) to be compared with the random value MR6 for determination of the variation pattern may be allocated to the determination result of the variation pattern. The CPU 103 falls under the random number value MR6 by referring to the second special figure big hit time fluctuation pattern determination table set as the use table based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR6 read from the second variation random number buffer. The variation pattern assigned to the determined value may be determined (selected) as the variation pattern to be used this time. Here, since all determined values are assigned to the variation pattern PA7-1, the variation pattern to be selected is the variation pattern PA7-1 for the big hit.

  If the second big hit flag is in the OFF state (step S2201; No), the CPU 103 sets the second special figure loss time variation pattern determination table in the use table (step S2207). After that, the variation pattern (the second special figure loss variation time variation pattern) is determined with reference to the second special figure loss variation time pattern determination table set in the use table (step S2208).

  In this embodiment, in step S2207, a second special figure missing time change pattern determination table shown in FIG. 30 is set in the use table. The table is prepared by storing it in a predetermined area of the ROM 101 in advance.

  In the second special figure loss time variation pattern determination table, the numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random value MR6 for variation pattern determination may be allocated to the determination result of the variation pattern. The CPU 103 falls under the random number value MR6 by referring to the second special figure loss time fluctuation pattern determination table set as the use table based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR6 read from the second variation random number buffer. The variation pattern assigned to the determined value may be determined (selected) as the variation pattern to be used this time. Here, since all the determined values are assigned to the variation pattern PA6-1, the variation pattern to be selected is the variation pattern PA6-1 for the big hit.

  In this embodiment, only PA 6-1 and PA 7-1 are used as variation patterns of the second special view game, and the variation patterns are commonly used regardless of the gaming state.

  Referring back to FIG. 27, after performing any of the processes of steps S2203 and S2208, a second special figure fluctuation time is set (step S2209). The second special figure fluctuation time, as described above, is the second finalization of the variable display result (second special figure display result) after the second special symbol starts to fluctuate in the second special figure game. It is the required time until the special symbol is derived and displayed. The second special figure fluctuation time is designated by each of a plurality of fluctuation patterns prepared in advance (here, the second special figure fluctuation time is prepared corresponding to each fluctuation pattern so that each fluctuation pattern is (2) The special figure fluctuation time is specified.) The CPU 103 derives a variable display result of the second special symbol, an image for notifying the variable display result, and the like by setting a second special figure fluctuation time designated by the fluctuation pattern selected in the processes of steps S2203 and S2208. Can be set. The setting of the second special figure fluctuation time is performed, for example, by setting a timer value corresponding to the second special figure fluctuation time in a second game control process timer provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 or the like. Note that other time settings may be appropriately performed by setting timer values or the like.

  Subsequent to the process of step S2209, setting is made to start the variation of the second special symbol so as to start the second special figure game which is the special figure game in which the start condition is satisfied (step S2210). As an example, a setting is performed to transmit a control signal (drive signal) for updating the display of the second special view in the second special symbol display device 4B. Thus, the control signal is transmitted, and variable display (variation) of the second special view is started. When the CPU 103 starts variable display using the second special view, the CPU 103 controls the second hold indicator 25B to display the second special view which can be used to specify the second special view hold storage number decremented by one. For example, the number of lighted LEDs may be reduced by one on the hold indicator 25B.

  After executing the processing of step S2210, transmission setting of a command at the start of variation of the special symbol is performed (step S2211). For example, the CPU 103 causes the main substrate 11 to issue a second change start specification command, a change pattern specification command (a command specifying a change pattern determined in the above process), and a display result specification command (in the above process) Transmission setting command for sequentially transmitting the second special view hold storage number specification command (a command for specifying the second special view hold storage number count value subtracted by 1 in the above processing). Do. The command set for transmission is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the above-mentioned command control process after the special symbol process process is completed, for example.

  After executing the processing of step S2211, the value of the second special view process flag is updated to "2" (step S2212), and the second variation pattern setting processing is ended. When the value of the second special figure process flag is updated to "2" in step S2212, when the next timer interrupt occurs, the second special symbol variation process of step S212 shown in FIG. 21 is executed.

  The first special symbol variation process of step S212 in FIG. 21 is executed when the value of the second special view process flag is "2". The second special symbol variation process includes a process of subtracting one from the timer value of the second game control process timer, and the like (thereby measuring the execution time of the second special view game). If the second special symbol process processing is interrupted by the determination of Yes in step S202, the measurement of the execution time is also interrupted. And, when the timer value of the second game control process timer (timer value after subtracting 1) is not 0, since the second special figure fluctuation time has not elapsed, in order to execute the variable display of the second special figure game Control (for example, control to transmit a control signal (drive signal) to update the display of the second special figure (including an update for maintaining the display of a special symbol for a predetermined time as appropriate. The same applies hereinafter) etc. A process for changing the second special figure is performed in the second special symbol display device 4B, and the second special symbol change process is ended. On the other hand, when the timer value of the second game control process timer becomes 0, and the elapsed time from the start of the change of the second special figure reaches the second special figure change time set in step S211, the second 2 Stop the variation of the special symbol in the special symbol display device 4B, and stop and display the second determined special symbol (the second determined special symbol set in step S210) as the variable display result of the second special figure game Make it displayed (The second fixed special symbol should be controlled to continue to be displayed for a predetermined period of time.) Also, when it is stopped and displayed, the second symbol fixed specified command is also sent and set, and the second special figure process flag The value is updated to “3”, and the second special symbol variation process ends. Step S212 is repeatedly executed each time a timer interrupt occurs to realize variable display of the second special symbol (second special view game) and derived display of the determined special symbol (second special view display result). .

  The second special symbol stop process in step S213 of FIG. 21 is executed when the value of the second special view process flag is "3". The second special symbol stop process is a process performed upon stopping the second special symbol (that is, the end of the second special view game). FIG. 31 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in step S213 of FIG. 21 as the second special symbol stop process.

  In the second special symbol stop process shown in FIG. 31, the CPU 103 first determines whether the second big hit flag is in the on state (step S2301). If the second jackpot flag is on (step S2301; Yes), the high probability high base flag is turned off (if it is originally off, the off state is maintained). By this, at the time of big hit, the game state becomes normal state.

  After that, the timer value corresponding to the second fanfare wait time (the wait time from the start to the end of the fanfare in the big hit gaming state, and a predetermined time) is set as the initial value to the second game control process timer After setting the number of round games in the jackpot gaming state (here, "5" regardless of the jackpot type) the second round number counter provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 (by the number of round games) It is set to the count initial value of the counter for counting a certain number of rounds (step S2304). Here, instead of the second round number counter, the first round number counter may be used (that is, the big hit gaming state in the first special figure game and the big hit gaming state in the second special figure game) May use a common counter).

  Thereafter, the CPU 103 performs transmission setting of the second hit start designation command and the gaming state designation command (step S1305). The command set for transmission is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the above-mentioned command control process after the special symbol process process is completed, for example. It should be noted that since the gaming state designation command is transmitted again after the big hit ends, the transmission setting of the gaming state designation command may not be performed here. After step S2305, the second special view process flag is updated to "4" (step S2306), and the second special symbol stop process is ended.

  If the second big hit flag is off (step S2301; No), the second special figure process flag is updated to "0" (step S2307), and the second special symbol stop process is ended.

  The first big hit opening pre-processing of step S214 of FIG. 21 is executed when the value of the second special view process flag is “4”. In the second big hit opening pre-processing, for example, the timer value of the second game control process timer is decremented by one. If the timer value after subtraction is not “0”, the second fanfare wait time has not yet elapsed, so the second big hit opening pre-processing ends. If the timer value after subtraction is “0”, the second fanfare wait time has elapsed, and it is now the start timing of the round game. In this case, in order to start the round game, a process (for example, a process of supplying a solenoid drive signal to turn on the solenoid 82) to open the big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 It is "5 seconds" because it is only "5R normal" but it is "5 seconds" because it is "5R normal". A process of setting a timer value corresponding to the big hit type buffer setting value stored in the 2 big hit type buffer) in the second game control process timer is executed. When the process of opening the special winning opening is performed, the value of the second special view process flag is updated to "5", and the big hit opening pre-processing ends. By repeatedly performing step S214 each time a timer interrupt occurs, standby until the start of the round game (standby until the end of the fanfare) and start of the round game (opening of the big winning opening) are realized.

  The second big hit open process of step S215 is executed when the value of the second special figure process flag is "5". In this second big hit opening process, the process of subtracting one from the timer value of the second game control process timer, the timer value after subtracting one, the gaming ball detected by the count switch 23 in one round game And the big winning opening is closed on the basis of the number of counters (a counter (provided in the RAM 102) that counts by one each time the count switch 23 is determined to be on in the switch process). It includes a process of determining whether or not it is time to

  When it is determined that the timer value after subtracting 1 becomes 0, or it is determined that the detected number of gaming balls (count value of the counter) reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9), the special winning opening is closed. Since it is time to return to the state, processing to return the big winning opening to the closed state (for example, stop the supply of the solenoid drive signal or supply the solenoid drive signal for turning off the solenoid 82 to It corresponds to a process of turning off) and a period for closing the big winning opening (an interval period of a round game, which is a preset period, and may be a different period according to the jackpot type stored in step S2108). A process of setting a timer value to be performed in the second game control process timer, a process of reducing the count value of the second round number counter by one, and the like are executed. Further, when the special winning opening is closed, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "6", and the processing during the second big hit opening ends.

  If the timer value after subtracting 1 does not become 0 and the number of detected game balls has not reached a predetermined number, processing to maintain the special winning opening in an open state (for example, A process of supplying a solenoid drive signal for maintaining the open state is performed as necessary, and the second big hit open process ends.

  When the processing for maintaining the special winning opening in the open state is performed, for example, the processing shown in FIG. 32 is executed. In the process shown in FIG. 32, the CPU 103 determines whether the probability change detection switch 24 has been turned on (step S2401). For example, when it is determined that the change detection switch 24 is turned on by, for example, determining that the probability change detection switch 24 is on in the switch processing (step S2401; Yes), When the ball has entered, the probability change detection switch flag provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 is turned on (if it is already on, the on state is maintained) (step S2402). When the probability change detection switch 24 is not turned on (Step S2401; No), after Step S2402, the process illustrated in FIG. 32 ends.

  By repeatedly performing step S215 each time a timer interrupt occurs, the special winning opening is opened until the closing timing, and finally the special winning opening is closed.

  The second big hit post-processing in step S216 is executed when the value of the second special figure process flag is "6". In the second big hit opening post-processing, the process to determine whether the count value of the second round number counter has become "0", or the timer value of the second game control process timer when it has not become "0" Processing such as 1 reduction is performed.

  If it is determined that the count value of the second round number counter is “0”, it means that the round game has reached the upper limit number of times, so the second ending waiting time (big hit game) in the second game control process timer It is a waiting time from the start to the end of the ending in the state, which is a predetermined time), and the timer value corresponding to) is set in the second game control process timer. Further, a setting is made to transmit a second hit end designation command, and a process of updating the second special view process flag to "7", etc. is also performed, and the second big hit open post-processing is ended.

  When the timer value of the second game control process timer is decremented by 1, it is determined whether the timer value after decrementing by 1 is "0". If it is not "0", the round game is started. Since it is not the timing, the second big hit opening post-processing ends, leaving the big winning opening closed. If it is "0", it is the start timing of the round game, so the process to open the big winning opening, the upper limit period to open the big winning opening (according to the jackpot type stored in step S2108 In this case, the processing is performed such as setting the timer value corresponding to "5 seconds" in the second game control process timer since only "5R normal" is set. When processing etc. to open the special winning opening is executed, the value of the second special view process flag is updated to "5", and the second big hit opening post-process ends.

  Also in the step S216, the same process as the process of FIG. 32 may be executed to detect the entry of the game ball into the probability variation detection area 40.

  After the special winning opening is opened in step S214, each round game is realized by repeatedly executing S215 and S216 each time a timer interrupt occurs.

  The second big hit end processing of step S217 in FIG. 21 is executed when the value of the second special view process flag is “7”. The second big hit end process is a process performed when the big hit gaming state ends. FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S217 of FIG. 21 as the second big hit end process. In the second jackpot end process, the CPU 103 first determines whether the second ending waiting time has ended (step S2501). As an example, it is determined whether or not the timer value of the second game control process timer for which the second ending waiting time has been set above is decremented by "1" in step S2501 and the decremented timer value is "0". Thus, it is determined whether the second ending waiting time has ended.

  If the second ending waiting time has not ended because, for example, the timer value decremented by 1 is not “0” (step S2501; No), the CPU 103 ends the second big hit ending process. If the second ending waiting time has ended (step S2501; Yes), the CPU 103 determines whether the probability change detection switch flag is on (step S2502), and if the probability change detection switch flag is on ((step S2502) Step S2502: Yes) The high probability high base flag is turned on (step S2503). At this time, the probability change detection switch flag may be reset. When the probability change detection switch flag is off (step S2502; No), or after step S2503, the CPU 103 performs transmission setting of the gaming state designation command (command for designating the current gaming state) (step S2504) Thereafter, the second special process flag is updated to "0" (step S2505), and the second big hit end process is ended. The command set for transmission is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the above-mentioned command control process, for example, after the special symbol process process is completed.

  The fact that the probability variation detection switch is in the on state means that the gaming ball has entered the probability variation detection area 40 when the special winning opening is opened. Therefore, in step S2503, the high probability high base flag is turned on, and thereafter the high probability high base state is established (if the state before the current big hit gaming state is a normal state, the high probability high base state (Chance period) is started.If the previous big hit gaming state is the high probability high base state, the high probability high base state (chance period) is continued.

  As a result of the variable display result in the second special view game becoming a "big hit" by performing steps S214 to S217 (the predetermined steps are repeatedly executed as necessary), and the big hit type A corresponding big hit gaming state (here, a normally open big hit gaming state) is realized.

  Next, the main operation of the effect control board 12 will be described.

  In the effect control board 12, when the supply of the power supply voltage is received from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute a predetermined effect control main process. When the effect control main process is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process to clear the RAM 122 and set various initial values, and CTC (counter / timer mounted on the effect control board 12 Perform register setting etc. of the circuit). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the timer interrupt flag provided in a predetermined area (for example, the effect control flag setting unit) of the RAM 122 is on. The timer interrupt flag is set to an on state each time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses based on, for example, the register setting of CTC. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off, the process waits.

  Further, on the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 occurs separately from the timer interrupt that occurs every time a predetermined time has elapsed. This interrupt is, for example, an interrupt generated when the effect control INT signal from the main substrate 11 is turned on. If an interrupt occurs because the effect control INT signal is turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets the interrupt disable state, but interrupts using the CPU that does not automatically enter the interrupt disable state. It is desirable to issue a prohibited instruction (DI instruction). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt processing, among the input ports included in the I / O 125, a control signal serving as an effect control command from a predetermined input port that receives the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15 Capture The effect control command fetched at this time is stored, for example, in a effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122. Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 sets the interrupt permission and then ends the command reception interrupt process.

  If the timer interrupt flag is on, the timer interrupt flag is cleared to be in the off state, and command analysis processing is executed. In the command analysis process, for example, after reading various effect control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main substrate 11 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, the read effect control commands are read out. Corresponding settings and controls are performed.

  FIG. 34 is a flowchart showing an example of command analysis processing. First, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether a game state designation command transmitted from the main substrate 11 has been received (step S801). When the gaming state designation command is received (step S801; Yes), the on / off state of the effect side high probability high base flag provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 122 is based on the content indicated by the gaming state designation command , Change or maintain (step S802).

  The production side high probability high base flag is a flag which is turned on at least in the high probability high base state. If the gaming state indicated by the gaming state designation command indicates the high probability high base state, the effect control CPU 120 turns on the production side high probability high base flag, and the gaming state indicated by the gaming state designation command is the normal state. If it indicates, the effect-side high probability high base flag is turned off.

  If the gaming state designation command has not been received (step S801; No), or after step S802, it is determined whether or not the first special figure hold storage number notification command has been received (step S803), If the display control unit 123 transmits a predetermined display control command to the VDP of the display control unit 123, for example, the first hold display area 5HA of the image display device 5 is performed (step S803; Yes). To display one hold display symbol newly (step S804).

  If the first special figure holding storage number notifying command has not been received (step S803; No), or after step S804, it is determined whether the second special drawing holding storage number notifying command has been received (step If the display control unit 123 transmits a predetermined display control command to the VDP of the display control unit 123, for example, if it is received (step S805; Yes), 2. One hold display symbol is newly displayed in the two hold display area 5HB (step S806).

  If the second special view reservation storage number notification command has not been received (step S 805; No), or after step S 806, the effect control CPU 120 transmits the first interruption designating command or the second interruption command transmitted from the main substrate 11. It is determined whether any of the suspension designation commands has been received (step S813), and when either the first suspension designation command or the second suspension designation command has been received (step S813; Yes), The first interruption flag or the second interruption flag provided is turned on (step S 814).

  The first interruption flag is a flag that is turned on when part of the first special symbol process processing is interrupted once as described above, and turned off when the interruption is completed. The second interruption flag is a flag that is turned on when part of the second special symbol process processing is interrupted once as described above, and turned off when the interruption is completed. The effect control CPU 120 turns on the first interrupt flag when the first interrupt designating command is received, and turns on the second interrupt flag when the second interrupt designating command is received.

  When neither the first suspension designation command nor the second suspension designation command is received (step S 813; No), or after step S 814, the effect control CPU 120 performs the first restart designation transmitted from the main substrate 11. It is determined whether the command or the second restart specification command has been received (step S815), and either the first restart specification command or the second restart specification command is received (step S815; Yes), The one suspension flag or the second suspension flag is turned off (step S816). The effect control CPU 120 turns off the first suspension flag when receiving the first restart specification command, and turns off the second suspension flag when receiving the second restart specification command.

  Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the first interruption flag is turned off in step S816 (step S817), and when the first interruption flag is turned off (step S817; Yes), the RAM 122 It is determined whether the timer value of the interruption timer provided in the predetermined area is not "0" (step S818). For the determination in step S817, for example, when the first interruption flag is turned off in step S816, the predetermined flag provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 122 is turned on, and in the determination in step S817, the predetermined flag is turned on. It may be determined whether or not the first interruption flag has been turned off in step S816 by determining whether or not The interruption timer is a timer that measures the interruption period of the first special figure game when a "big hit" occurs in the second special figure game while the first special figure game is being executed. When the first interruption flag is turned off (step S 817; Yes) and the timer value of the interruption timer is not “0” (step S 811; Yes), the interruption of the first special view game is ended. It means that the first special drawing game has been resumed. In this case (step S811; Yes), it is determined whether the remaining time notification flag provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 122 is in the on state (step S819). The remaining time notification flag is a flag that is turned on when the remaining time notification is being performed. The remaining time notification is executed along with the chance period presentation of notifying the chance period in the chance period, and is an effect of notifying a period in which at least the chance period does not end as the remaining time of the chance period (eg, FIG. 53) . In addition, when the time notified by the remaining time notification becomes “0”, since the specific effect which gives a sense of crisis of the end of the chance period (the end of the high probability high base state) is executed, it is notified by the remaining time notification. The remaining time is also the remaining time until the specific effect is performed. The chance period ends with the end of the specific effect. The specific effect is always executed when the variable display result of the first special figure game is "big hit", so the variable display result of the first special figure game in the high probability high base state is "5R normal" "big hit" If it becomes, the chance period ends once, and the chance period comes again after the big hit gaming state (when the game ball enters the probability change detection area 40).

  Steps S815 and S816 may be divided into processing steps for the first resume designation command and the first suspension flag, and steps for processing the second resume designation command and the second suspension flag. For example, it is determined whether or not the second resume designation command has been received, and in the case of the presence of the reception, the second interruption flag is turned off. If the second restart specification command has not been received, it is determined whether the first restart specification command has been received, and if it has been received, the first interruption flag is turned off, and the processing of step S818 and subsequent steps is performed. May be If it is determined that the second interruption flag is in the OFF state or it is determined that the first restart designation command is not received, for example, the process may proceed to the process of step S823.

  When the remaining time notification flag is in the on state (step S819; Yes), as described above, for the extension of the remaining time notified by the remaining time notification (extension notification) (step S869 described later), or In order to extend the execution period (step S372 described later), the period (interruption time) indicated by the interruption timer value is added to each of the extension time (suspension) and the extension time (total) (step S820).

  In this embodiment, the extension notification may be performed one or more times to extend the remaining time notified by the remaining time notification. The extension time (total) is the total time of the extension notification available time. In the extension notification, the extension is performed at least a part of the total time. The time that can be extended (the extension time (total)) can be calculated from the time until the start timing of the specific effect-the remaining time reported in the remaining time notification. And extension time (total) consists of the total time of extension time (pending) and extension time (suspension). The extension time (pending) is an extension time calculated from the execution time (first special figure fluctuation time) and the like of the first special figure game being held. In addition, the start timing of the specific effect is the later timing when the execution of the first special view game is interrupted (that is, the remaining time to be notified by the remaining time notification may be extended by the interruption time) ). The extension time (interruption) is an extension time for the interruption time of this first special view game. The extension time (total), the extension time (pending), and the extension time (suspension) are stored in predetermined areas of the RAM 122 and appropriately updated. In addition, the execution period of the specific effect may be extended by the extension time (interruption). That is, the execution period of the specific effect may be extended by the time for the extension time (interruption).

  After step S820, an addition flag (provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122) indicating that the extension time has been added is turned on (step S821).

  When the remaining time notification flag is in the OFF state (step S819; No) or after step S821, the timer value of the interruption timer is reset (step S822). If neither the first restart specification command nor the second restart specification command is received (step S815; No), if the first interruption flag is not turned off (step S817; No), the timer value of the interruption timer Is “0” (step S 818; No), or after step S 822, other command analysis processing is executed (step S 823).

  In the other command analysis processing, for example, the processing of the processing content as shown in the table of FIG. 35 may be executed on the received command. In the table, setting a flag means turning on the flag. The step number indicates that the process described above is performed. The start winning combination command buffer is provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122. As shown in FIG. 36, in the start-up winning command buffer, one set of command at the start-up winning, which is transmitted from the main substrate 11 at the time of winning on the first start winning opening A result specifying command, a first special map hold storage number specifying command, a first starting opening winning combination specifying command) is stored in association with the hold display number. The one set of commands is stored by being set at the head of the free entry in the start winning command buffer (the area corresponding to the smallest hold display number). The hold number of the first special view hold storage unit and the hold display number of the start winning command buffer correspond to each other, and a set of hold data and a set of commands respectively corresponding to the hold number and the hold display number of the same number. And is about the same first special-figure game. Further, in the start winning combination command buffer, a big hit determination flag and a specific effect flag are provided corresponding to each hold display number. The jackpot determination flag is a flag that is set to the on state when the determination result of the symbol determination result designation command of one set of commands stored in the corresponding area is “big hit”. The specific effect flag is a flag that is turned on when performing a specific effect (effect to have a sense of crisis at the end of the chance period) in the first special view game of one set of corresponding commands. “0000 (H)” in FIG. 36 indicates that a command is not stored.

  Next, the effect control process will be described. FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing an example of the effect control process. The effect control CPU 120 first determines whether the chance period effect flag is in the on state (step S851). The chance period effect flag is a flag that is turned on during execution of the chance period effect informing the chance period, and is provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122.

  If the chance period effect flag is in the on state (step S851; Yes), since the chance period effect is being executed, the effect operation control of the chance period effect is performed (step S852). The rendering operation control CPU 120 may perform the rendering operation control for executing the chance period rendering in accordance with the rendering control pattern (for example, refer to step S3203) set as the usage pattern when the execution of the chance period rendering starts. Execution of the chance period presentation (such as FIG. 53) is realized by repeatedly executing step S852 each time the presentation control process is executed.

  Note that the effect control CPU 120 outputs a display control command to the display control unit 123, for example, to cause the image display device 5 to display an effect image, or a control signal to the sound control board 13 in effect operation control. Sound and sound effects are output from the speakers 8L and 8R by the output of the signal, and the lighting operation of the light emitting body such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED is performed by the output of the control signal (electric decoration signal) to the lamp control board 14 For example, the chance period effect may be performed by performing an operation such as causing the same (the same applies to the effect operation control for other effects).

  After step S852, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the remaining time notification flag is in the on state (step S853). The remaining time notification flag is a flag that is turned on during notification of the remaining time notification that notifies at least a period when the chance period does not end as the remaining time of the chance period, and is provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122.

  If the remaining time notification flag is in the on state (step S853; Yes), since the remaining time notification is being performed, the presentation operation control of the remaining time notification is performed (step S862). The rendering operation control CPU 120 performs the rendering operation control for executing the remaining time notification in accordance with the effect control pattern (see, for example, steps S861, S3213, and S3213) set as the usage pattern when starting the remaining time notification Good. By repeatedly executing step S 862 each time the effect control process is performed, the execution of notification of the remaining time (such as FIG. 53) is realized. In addition, it is preferable to display the effect image of the remaining time notification and the effect image of the chance period effect on different layers, and it is preferable to superimpose them. By superimposing each layer that displays the image of each effect.

  After step S 862, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether a new reception command is stored in the start winning game command buffer (step S 863), and if there is a new reception command (step S 863; Yes), the starting winning case It is determined whether or not there is an on-state flag in each specific period flag of the command buffer (step S864A). If there is an on-state flag (step S864A; No), it corresponds to the on-state specific period flag It is determined whether the big hit determination flag is on (step 864B). If it is in the ON state, a "big hit" will occur in the variable display (variable display corresponding to the first special view game) in which the specific effect is executed. If the jackpot determination flag is not in the on state (that is, the variable display result of the variable display is “losing”) (step S864B; No), it is not necessary to execute the specific effect in the variable display here, It is determined whether to carry over the variable display for executing the specific effect into the variable display to be performed later than the variable display for which the specific effect is scheduled to be performed (step S865).

  In step S865, the effect control CPU 120 determines, for example, with reference to the advance determination table of FIG. 38, whether to advance the specific effect. The advance determination table is stored in advance in the ROM 121 and prepared. The carry-down decision table may be such that the decision value to be compared with the random number value SR1 is assigned to each decision result of “Yes” for carrying forward (pushing down specific effects) and “none” (does not carry forward for specific effects) ( In FIG. 38, not the decision value but the decision ratio is shown). The effect control CPU 120 extracts numerical data representing a predetermined random number SR1 updated by the effect random counter or the like provided in a predetermined area of the random number circuit 124 or the RAM 122, and based on the numerical data of the extracted random number SR1. Then, with reference to the carry-down decision table, the decision result assigned to the decision value that matches the random number value SR1 is taken as the present decision result (not carried forward or not carried forward).

  After step S865, the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not it is determined that the specific effect is to be advanced in step S865 (step S866). If it is determined that the specific effect is to be advanced (step S866; Yes) The specific effect flag corresponding to one hold display number after the specific effect in the off state is in the on state, thereby turning on the specific effect flag by one (step S867). ). As a result, the specific effect is scheduled to be executed in the variable display performed one after the variable display which was scheduled to be executed before the drawdown (see FIG. 59).

  When the specific effect is delayed, the execution start timing of the specific effect is shifted, so the shifted time is added to the extension time (pending) and the extension time (overall) (step S868). Here, the specific effect is executed (for example, as described later) in a fixed period before the end timing of the first special view game (for example, 10 seconds going back with the derivation timing of the variable display as the end timing) There is a thing.). Therefore, in step S868, the first special figure fluctuation time designated by the fluctuation pattern of the judgment result of the fluctuation pattern judgment result designation command contained in the newly received command may be set as the time for the deviation. In addition, when execution of the 1st special figure game of a plurality of times requires other time (for example, time from the end of the 1st special figure game to the start of the next 1st special figure game etc.) other than the 1st special figure fluctuation time In addition, the time obtained by adding the other time to the first special figure fluctuation time may be set as the time of the shifted time (the same applies to the special time as the other time may be taken into consideration as the special time). Is).

  If there is no new reception command (Step S863; No), if the ON specific period flag does not exist (Step S864A; Yes), and if the big hit determination flag is ON (Step S864B; Yes), there is no carry over. If it is (step S866; No) or after step S868, the remaining time extension process is executed (step S869).

  FIG. 39 is a flowchart showing an example of the extended notification process performed in step S869. The effect control CPU 120 first determines whether the timing of the extension notification has arrived (step S881). The timing of the extension notification may be determined in advance as shown in FIG.

As the timing of extension notification,
(1) The timing every predetermined second from the start timing of the remaining time notification (for example, the timing may be specified by a predetermined timer (provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122) which starts measurement from the start of the remaining time notification)
(2) When the addition flag is turned on (3) Remaining time reported by remaining time notification (as with the countdown, the remaining time to be notified is gradually reduced) It may be any timing when the extension time (pending) is not “0 seconds” at the time when “0 seconds” is reached. Note that at least one of the above (1) to (3) may not be adopted as the timing.

  If the extension notification timing has arrived (step S881; Yes), it is determined whether the extension time (total) is not "0 seconds" (step S882), and if not "0 seconds" (step S882; Yes) It means that there is time to extend. In this case, first, it is determined whether or not the fluctuation pattern of the variable display (first special view game) being executed is the long-term fluctuation fluctuation pattern PA4-3 or PA5-3 (step S883), and the fluctuation of the long-term fluctuation If it is not a pattern (step S883; No), it is determined whether the pending variable display (first special view game) includes the variable display of the fluctuation pattern PA4-3 or PA5-3 of long-term fluctuation ( Step S884). For example, the effect control CPU 120 checks all the variation pattern determination result designation commands stored in the start winning winning command buffer, and whether there is a variation pattern PA4-3 or PA5-3 in the variation pattern of the determination result of the command It may be determined whether or not. Note that only one of steps S 882 and S 883 may be performed.

  When the variable display being held does not include the variable display of long-term fluctuation (Step S884; No), the rendering operation control of the long-term extended notification is performed with the relatively long time as the extension time (time to extend) Step S885). In addition, when the fluctuation pattern of the variable display being executed is long-term fluctuation (step S883; Yes) or when the suspended variable display includes variable display of long-term fluctuation (step S884; Yes), it is relatively short. The effect operation control of the short-term extension notification with the time being the extension time (time to extend) is executed (step S886).

  In step S885, the time to be extended (extension time) is determined with reference to the long-term effect determination table shown in FIG. 40A, and the remaining time reported in the remaining time notification is increased by the determined extension time. The rendering operation control to execute the extension notification (see FIG. 54) is performed. The long-term effect determination table is stored in advance in the ROM 121, and the determined value to be compared with the random number SR2 may be allocated to each of the time to be extended (determination result) (in FIG. But not the decision rate is shown). The effect control CPU 120 extracts numerical data representing a predetermined random number SR2 updated by the effect random counter or the like provided in a predetermined area of the random number circuit 124 or the RAM 122, and based on the numerical data of the extracted random number SR2. Then, the long-term effect determination table is referred to, and the time assigned to the determined value that matches the random value SR2 is set as the time to extend this time.

  In step S886, referring to the short-term effect determination table shown in FIG. 40B, the time to be extended (extension time) is determined, and the remaining time reported in the remaining time notification is increased by the determined extension time. The rendering operation control to execute the extension notification (see FIG. 54) is performed. The short-term effect determination table is stored in advance in the ROM 121, and the determination value to be compared with the random number SR2 may be allocated to each of the time to be extended (determination result) (in FIG. 40B, the determination value But not the decision rate is shown). The effect control CPU 120 extracts numerical data representing a predetermined random number SR2 updated by the effect random counter or the like provided in a predetermined area of the random number circuit 124 or the RAM 122, and based on the numerical data of the extracted random number SR2. Then, the short-term effect determination table is referred to, and the time assigned to the determined value that matches the random value SR2 is set as the time to extend this time.

  If the extension time (total) is shorter than the extension time determined above, the extension time (total) is taken as the actual extension time. If the extension time (total) is “0”, the extension time is 0 seconds (an extension notification may not be performed).

  As apparent from FIG. 40, the short-term extension notification is extended in a relatively shorter time than the long-term extension notification.

  After step S885, after step S886, the effect control CPU 120 subtracts the extended time from the extended time (total) and the like (step S887). In step S887, subtraction is performed according to which of the above (1) to (3) the extended notification timing that has arrived this time is. In the above cases (1) and (3), since the extension notification uses the extension time (pending) as the extension time, the extended time (total) is subtracted from the extension time (total), and the extension time (pending) (The extension time (suspend) is subtracted when the extension time (pending) becomes “0”, and the first special view game is displayed when the extension notification is executed. If it is executed and a specific effect is to be performed, the extension time (interruption) may not be subtracted because the adjustment is performed later in the specific effect execution time). In the case of the above (2), since the extension notification is executed by the increase of the extension time (interruption), the extension time (total) is subtracted from the extension time and the extension time (interruption) Preferentially subtract the extension time (subtract the extension time (pending) when the extension time (interruption) becomes "0"). At this time, the addition flag is reset to the off state.

  If the extension notification timing has not arrived (step S881; No), and if the extension time (total) is "0 seconds" (step S882; No), the extension notification process ends after step S887.

  Referring back to FIG. 38, when the remaining time notification flag is in the off state (step S853; No), it is determined whether a new reception command is stored in the start winning command buffer and there is no specific effect flag in the on state. (Step S854) If there is a new reception command and there is no specific effect flag in the ON state (Step S854; Yes), the specific effect flag corresponding to the new reception command is to be executed. Is turned on (step S856). Thereafter, the remaining time notification flag is turned on (step S857), and a period is calculated until the specific effect is performed (step S858). The period until the specific effect is performed may be calculated from, for example, the first special figure fluctuation time specified by the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation pattern determination result specification command stored in the start winning prize command buffer (here, Particularly, since the execution period of the specific effect is determined to be the last predetermined period of the variable display, calculation is easy, for example, the total of the first special figure fluctuation time-the value of the predetermined period, etc.).

  Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 sets an initial value of the remaining time to be notified in the remaining time notification (step S859). The initial value may be set based on a period until the specific effect calculated in step S858 is performed (for example, a period of one minute until the specific effect is performed, etc.). Next, the number of seconds obtained by subtracting the initial value from the period until the specific effect is performed is added (set) to the extension time (pending) and the extension time (overall) (step S 860). By this, the initial value of the time extended by the extension notification is set. Then, start setting of notification of remaining time is performed (step S 861). For example, a process of setting a presentation control pattern or the like for executing notification of the remaining time which reduces the remaining time from the initial value as the usage pattern is performed.

  If the chance effect flag is off (step S851; No), no new reception command is stored in the start winning command buffer, or if there is no specific effect flag on (step S854; No), step After step S861 and step S869, the first effect control process process (step S881) and the second effect control process process (step S882) are executed to end the effect control process.

  FIG. 41 is a flowchart showing an example of the first effect control process. In the first effect control process shown in FIG. 41, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether the first interruption flag is in the on state (step S301). When the first interruption flag is in the on state, as described above, part of the first special symbol process processing is temporarily interrupted, so display operation control is performed to display the effect of interruption ( Step S302) It is determined whether the value of the first effect process flag is "2" (step S303). If it is "2" (step S303; Yes), that is, the interruption is the first special figure game If the interruption is being performed, the interruption timer timer value is increased by 1 to measure the interruption period (step S304), and the process ends. If not "2" (step S303; No), this processing also ends.

  In step S302, for example, the effect control CPU 120 performs display operation control such as transmitting a predetermined display control command to the VDP of the display control unit 123 or the like, and displays an “interrupted” image (FIG. 56) reference).

  If the first suspension flag is off (step S301; No), the effect control CPU 120 determines the value of the first effect process flag (initially "0") provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 122. In response, one of the processes in steps S370 to S375 as described below is selected and executed.

  The first variable display start waiting process of step S370 is a process that is executed when the value of the first effect process flag is "0". This first variable display start waiting process determines whether or not to start the variable display of the decorative symbol on the image display device 5 based on whether or not the first change start designation command or the like from the main substrate 11 is received. Includes processing and so on. When it is determined that the first change start designation command or the like is received and variable display of the decorative symbol on the image display device 5 is started, the value of the first effect process flag is updated to “1”.

  The first variable display start setting process of step S371 is a process that is executed when the value of the first effect process flag is "1". FIG. 42 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S371 of FIG. 41 as the first variable display start setting process. In the first variable display start setting process shown in FIG. 42, the effect control CPU 120 first causes the first special view display result to be “lost” based on, for example, the display result designation command transmitted from the main board 11 or the like. It is determined whether it is (step S3021). When it is determined that the first special view display result is "loss" (step S3021; Yes), for example, the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command transmitted from the main substrate 11 is a decorative symbol variable It is determined whether the non-reach variation pattern (PA1-1) corresponding to the case of “non-reach” in which the display mode is not the reach mode (step S3022).

  If it is the non-reach variation pattern (step S3022; Yes), the combination of the finalized design symbols to be the final stop design constituting the non-reach combination is determined (step S3023). For example, as the final stop design, the combination of the final decoration design of “6 85” is determined. The final stop symbol may be randomly determined using a random number and a table. However, since "7" is later used for a specific final stop symbol (a specific jackpot symbol), it should not be used here.

  If it is determined in step S3022 that the pattern is not the non-reach variation pattern (step S3022; No), the combination of the finalized design symbols to be the final stop symbols constituting the reach combination is determined (step S3024). For example, as the final stop design, the combination of the determined decoration design of "6 8 6" is determined. The final stop symbol may be randomly determined using a random number and a table. However, since "7" is later used for a specific final stop symbol (a specific jackpot symbol), it should not be used here.

  When it is determined in step S3021 that the first special view display result is not "losing" (step S3021; No), the combination of the finalized design symbol forming the big hit combination is determined (step S3027) . Here, if the jackpot type specified by the display result designation command is “5R normal”, “5 5 5” is determined as the combination of the determined decoration pattern, and if the jackpot type is “5R short-term”, “6 6 6 Let's make a combination of decorative symbols. The final stop symbol may be randomly determined using a random number and a table. However, since "7" is later used for a specific final stop symbol (a specific jackpot symbol), it should not be used here.

  After one of the processes of steps S3023, S3024, and S3027 is performed, the first effect control pattern determination process is performed (step S3030).

  FIG. 43 is a flowchart showing an example of the first effect control pattern determination process. In the first effect control pattern determination process of FIG. 43, the effect control CPU 120 first reads data (state of command and flag) of the hold display number “1” from the start winning game command buffer (step S3101). Then, each data (state of command and flag) under the pending display number “2” is shifted to the upper pending display number respectively (the pending display numbers “2” to “5” are respectively placed on the pending display number “ Shift 1) to 4).

  After that, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the specific effect flag is in the on state among the data read in step S3101 (step S3103), and when it is in the on state (step S3103; Yes) It is determined whether the first special view display result is "big hit" (step S3104), and if "big hit", it is determined whether the big hit type is "5R normal" based on the display result specification command (Step S3105). If it is "5R normal" (step S3105; Yes), setting is performed to execute a specific effect (see FIG. 55) notifying that the chance period will come again after the big hit gaming state ends (step S3106). If it is not "5R normal" (step S3105; No), setting is performed to execute a specific effect (see FIG. 55) notifying that the chance period ends after the big hit gaming state is over (step S3107). If it is not a "big hit" (step S3104; No), setting is performed to execute a specific effect (see FIG. 55) notifying that the chance period has come again (step S3108).

  When the specific effect flag is off (step S3103; No), after one of steps S3106 to S3108, the CPU for effect control 120 changes the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command, the final stop symbol determined above, The effect control pattern according to the content of the setting for executing the specific effect is set as the usage pattern (step S3109). The effect control pattern in the high probability / high base state (during the chance period) is a pattern in which the decorative pattern is displayed on the upper left of the area 5A of the image display device 5, etc. (Eg, FIG. 53).

  Returning to FIG. 42, the CPU for effect control 120 corresponds to the initial value of the first effect control process timer provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 122 (corresponding to the first special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern) corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Initial value) is set (step S3031).

  Then, setting is made to start the change of the decorative symbol or the like in the image display device 5 (step S3032). At this time, for example, the rendering operation control may be started based on the rendering control pattern set as the usage pattern in step S3030. Thereafter, the value of the first effect process flag is updated to "2" (step S3033), and the first variable display start setting process is ended.

  Returning to FIG. 41, the first variable display effect process of step S372 is a process executed when the value of the first effect process flag is "2". FIG. 44 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed in step S372 of FIG. 41 as the first variable display effect processing. In the first variable display effect process, the effect control CPU 120 first changes the variable display time (first special view fluctuation time) corresponding to the current fluctuation pattern based on, for example, the timer value of the first effect control process timer. Is judged (step S3051). As an example, in the process of step S3051, the timer value of the first effect control process timer is updated (for example, decremented by 1), and the process ends from the first effect control pattern corresponding to the timer value of the first effect control process timer after updating When the code is read, it may be determined that the variable display time (the first special figure fluctuation time) has elapsed.

  If the variable display time has not elapsed in step S3051 (step S3051; No), it is determined whether the remaining time notified by notification of the remaining time has become "0 second" (step S3052), "0 second (Step S3052; Yes), the notification of the remaining time ends, and the specific effect is executed. Therefore, the remaining time notification flag is turned off, and the setting to start the specific effect is performed (for example, The effect control pattern is rewritten (step S3053).

  If it is "0 seconds" (step S3052; No), after step S3053, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the current is an execution period (including the start timing) of the specific effect (step S3054) (step S3054) If it is the execution period of the specific effect (step S3054), it is determined whether the extension time (interruption) is not "0" (step S3055), and the extension time (interruption) is " If it is not 0 "(step S3055; Yes), the execution period of the specific effect is extended by the time of the extension time (interruption) (step S3056A), and the extension time (interruption) is reset to" 0 seconds "(step S3056B) . By such processing, when the second special figure game becomes a "big hit" during the execution of the first special figure game and the first special figure game is interrupted, the interruption period is dealt with by the expansion of the execution period of the specific effect (It is possible to match the end timing of the specific effect and the end of the first special figure game (derivation of the final decoration symbol)).

  If the extension time (interruption) is "0" (step S3055; No), after step S3056B, the effect control CPU 120 performs specific effect operation control for executing the specific effect (step S3057), and It is determined whether it is the end timing of the specific effect (step S3058), and if it is the end timing (step S3058; Yes), the chance period effect flag is turned off to end the chance period effect (step S3059) (chance period) It is also possible to perform the rendering operation control to end the rendering.) It is determined whether the display result of the variable display result this time is "loss" (step S3060), and if it is "loss" (step S3060; Yes), because the chance period (high probability high base condition) will come again, And turning on the re-arrival flag provided in the area (step S3061).

  It should be noted that when the first special view game is interrupted during the execution of the specific effect, the variable display effect is not executed from the beginning (FIG. 41), so the execution of the specific effect is interrupted for an unexecuted period. In the process of FIG. 41, it is determined whether or not a specific effect is being executed (for example, the specific region is being executed in a predetermined area of the RAM 122) while the first special figure game is being interrupted (No in step S301). A flag to be turned on may be set to the on state, and it may be determined during execution of the specific effect by this flag.) When the specific effect is under execution, here, the effect operation control of the specific effect is performed (effect control As a pattern, for example, a pattern for extension or the like may be prepared and used to execute a specific effect.) The execution of the specific effect may not be interrupted. With such processing, even if the first special view game is interrupted during the execution of the specific effect, the execution period of the specific effect can be extended (extended), and the end timing of the specific effect and the end of the first special view game (confirmed Derivation of the decorative symbol can be matched with the timing.

  The specific effect may be executed (step S3057) in parallel with the first effect control process (for example, in the process of FIG. 37, it is executed before or after the first effect control process). . In this case, it may be determined in step S819 whether the chance period effect flag is in the on state (here, since it is assumed that the first special view game is being executed, the remaining time is determined). It will be determined whether a notification or specific effect is being performed). Alternatively, it is determined whether the remaining time notification flag is in the on state, or the flag turned on during execution of the specific effect (provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122) is in the on state, and the current is remaining It may be determined whether time notification or a specific effect is being performed. Then, if it is determined that the present is the execution of notification of the remaining time or the specific effect (step S819; Yes), the processing of step S820 and the following is performed, and it is determined that the present of the notification of the remaining time and the specific effect is not being executed. If it is determined (step S819; No), the process may proceed to step S822. Further, at the time of execution of the specific effect, the same processing as step S 3055 to step S 3056 B is performed, and the execution period of the specific effect is extended (extended) even if the first special drawing game is interrupted during the execution of the specific effect. The end timing of the specific effect and the end timing of the first special drawing game (derivation of the finalized decorative symbol) may be matched.

  If the present is not the specific effect execution period (step S3054; No), if it is not the end timing of the specific effect (step S3058; No), if the display result is "missing" (step S3060; No), after step S3061 Other rendering operation control is performed (step S3062), and this processing ends. By repeatedly executing steps S3057 and S3062, etc., execution of variable display of decorative symbols, reach effect, specific effect, etc. is realized (FIG. 52, FIG. 55, etc.).

  If the variable display time has elapsed in step S3051 (step S3051; Yes), it is determined whether or not the first symbol determination designating command transmitted from the main substrate 11 has been received (step S3065). At this time, if the first symbol determination designating command is not received (step S 3065; No), the first variable display effect processing is ended and the process waits. In addition, after the variable display time elapses, when the predetermined time elapses without receiving the first symbol determination command, a predetermined error corresponding to the failure to properly receive the first symbol determination command Processing may be performed.

  If the first symbol determination command is received in step S3065 (step S3065; Yes), it is determined whether the variable display result is a "big hit" of "5R normal" (step S3066), "5R normal" If the "big hit" of "" (step S3066; Yes), it is determined whether or not the derivation condition of the specific big hit symbol is satisfied (step S3067).

The derivation condition is a condition in which the chance period (high probability high base state) is likely to continue for a long time (a condition in which a “big hit” does not occur for a long time in the first special view game), for example,
(1) When the number of first special map reservations is “0” (it may be determined based on whether or not the command is stored in the start winning command buffer).
(2) There is a suspension of the first special view game, but there is no big hit determination for the suspension (if the big hit determination flag of the start winning game command buffer is all off, the condition is satisfied).
(3) There is a suspension of the first special view game and there is also a big hit determination, but the special view fluctuation time to the big hit is over a predetermined time (10 minutes or more here) (in the start winning winning command buffer, the big hit determination flag is on) The special pattern fluctuation time from the fluctuation pattern specified by the fluctuation pattern determination result specification command corresponding to the previous pending display number in the state to the big hit may be calculated, for example, the special drawing fluctuation time of each fluctuation pattern If the total is equal to or more than the predetermined time, the condition is satisfied.)
(See FIG. 45).

  The derivation condition may be only one or two of the above (1) to (3). That is, if at least one of the above (1) to (3) is satisfied as the pachinko gaming machine 1, it may be determined that the derivation condition is satisfied. Further, the derivation condition may be another condition other than the above (1) to (3). For example, the above "big hit" may be only "big hit" of "5R short term" (it may be determined by a symbol determination result designation command in the start winning command buffer).

  If any of the above conditions is satisfied, the chance period (high probability high base state) is likely to continue for a long time, so it is determined that the derivation condition of the specific big hit symbol is satisfied (step S3067; Yes), the specific big hit symbol ("7 7 7)) is set as the final stop symbol, and control is performed to derive and display the symbol (step S3068). By this, it can be informed that it is easy to continue the chance period coming from now on.

  When the variable display result is not "big hit" of "5R normal" (step S3066; No), when it is determined that the condition for deriving the specific big hit symbol is not satisfied (step S3067; No), the symbol previously determined in step S371 Control is performed to derive and display symbols with the final stop symbol (step S3069).

  For example, the effect control CPU 120 transmits a predetermined display control command to the VDP or the like of the display control unit 123, and derives and displays the final stop symbol (decided ornament symbol) to be the display result in the variable display of the ornament symbol. By performing control, control is performed to derive and display symbols. By such control, the display control unit 123 derives the final stop symbol and performs processing for continuing to display the final stop symbol for a predetermined time. In addition, FIG. 45 shows the final stop symbol, the derivation condition of the final stop symbol, and the like.

  After step S3068 or S3069, the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether the remaining time notification flag is in the on state (step S3070). If it is in the on state (step S3070; Yes), the extension time (interruption) is " It is determined whether it is not "0 seconds" (step S3071), and if it is not "0 seconds" (step S3071; Yes), extension notification is added to the remaining time notified by remaining time notification for the extension time (interruption) The effect operation control of is performed (step S3072), and the extension time (interruption) is reset to "0 second" (step S3073). By such processing, the interruption period of the first special view game can be added (extended) to the remaining time notified by the remaining time notification.

  If the remaining time notification flag is not in the on state (step S3070; No), and if the extension time (suspend) is not "0 second" (step S3071; No), after step S3073, as the first hit start designation command reception waiting time A predetermined fixed time is set as a first effect control process timer (it may be another timer provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122) or the like (step S3074). Then, the value of the first effect process flag is updated to "3" (step S3075), and the first variable display effect process is ended.

  Returning to FIG. 41, the first special-image-per-minute waiting process in step S373 is a process that is executed when the value of the first effect process flag is "3." In the first special drawing-per-wait processing, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the first contact start designation command transmitted from the main substrate 11 has been received. Then, when the first hit start designation command is received, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "4", and the present process is ended. In addition, when the first effect control process timer times out without receiving the first hit start designation command (when the first hit start designation command reception waiting time has elapsed), the first special figure in the first special figure game It is determined that the display result is "losing", the value of the first effect process flag is updated to "0" which is the initial value, and the present process is ended.

  In step S373, when the first effect control process timer times out (when the first special view display result in the first special view game is "loss"), for example, the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 46 is executed. .

  In the flowchart of FIG. 46, the CPU 120 for effect control first determines whether the re-arrival flag is in the on state (step S3201A), and if it is in the on state (step S3201A; Yes), the chance period comes again. The chance period effect flag is turned on and the re-arrival flag is reset to off (step S3202A). Thereafter, the execution start setting of the chance period effect is set (step S3203). For example, the effect control pattern for executing the chance period effect is set as the use pattern.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not there is a hold of the first special view game based on whether or not a command is stored in the start winning game command buffer (step S3204), and if there is a hold (step S3204; Yes) Then, the remaining time notification flag is turned on (step S3205), and it is determined whether or not the start winning winning command buffer has a big hit determination flag in the on state (step S3206), and if there is (step S3206; Yes). A specific effect flag corresponding to the most recent on hit big hit determination flag is turned on (step S3207). If there is no big hit determination flag in the on state in the start winning command buffer (step S3206; No), the variable display (variable display being held) of the execution object of the specific effect is specified at random (step S3208) (step S3208) For example, it may be determined using a table corresponding to the number of first special view reservations and a random number etc.), and the specific effect flag corresponding to the variable display of the execution target (variable display being held) is turned on (Step S3209).

  After steps S3207 and S3209, the processes of steps S3210 to S3213 (processes for performing notification of remaining time and extension notification) are executed. Since these processes are the same as steps S858 to S861, the description thereof is omitted. However, in step S3213, processing is also performed to turn on the remaining time notification flag. When the re-arrival flag is off (step S3201A; No), and when there is no hold of the first special view (step S3204; No), this process ends.

  By such processing, settings for executing specific effects and notification of remaining time are performed.

  Returning to FIG. 41, the first jackpot process of step S374 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is “4”. In this processing, the CPU for effect control 120 sets, for example, a effect control pattern corresponding to the effect content in the big hit gaming state, and performs effect operation control with the set effect pattern, and also, for example, from the main board 11 In response to the reception of the first hit end designation command, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to “5” which is a value corresponding to the first ending effect process.

  The first ending effect process of step S 375 is a process executed when the value of the first effect process flag is “5”. In the first ending effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the end of the big hit gaming state, for example, and performs effect operation control with the set effect pattern. Further, at the end of the ending, the value of the first effect control process flag is updated to "0" which is an initial value. When updating to “0”, for example, the processing of the flowchart shown in FIG. 47 is also executed. The process is basically the same as the process of FIG. 46 (the process common to the step numbers is the same for both), so only the part different from the process of FIG. 46 will be described. In the flowchart of FIG. 47, first, it is determined whether the rendering side high probability high base flag is on (step S3201B), and if it is not on (step S3201; No), this processing ends and the on state If there is (step S3201; Yes), the chance period flag is turned on (step S3202B). The subsequent processing is the same as the processing in FIG.

  FIG. 48 is a flowchart showing an example of the second effect control process. In the second effect control process shown in FIG. 48, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether the second interruption flag is in the on state (step S404). When the second interruption flag is in the on state (step S404; Yes), display operation control to the effect of interruption is performed (step S405), and this processing is ended. In step S405, for example, the effect control CPU 120 performs display operation control such as transmitting a predetermined display control command to the VDP of the display control unit 123, and displays an “off” image indicating interruption. (See Figure 55).

  If the second interruption flag is in the OFF state (step S404; No), the effect control CPU 120 determines the value of the second effect process flag (initially "0") provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 122. In response, one of the processes in steps S470 to S475 as described below is selected and executed.

  The second display start waiting process of step S470 is a process that is executed when the value of the second effect process flag is "0". In the second display start waiting process, the second special view game to the area 5B in the image display device 5 is being executed based on whether or not the second change start designation command or the like from the main substrate 11 is received. And a process of determining whether or not to start display of an image showing (variable display of a predetermined image). When it is determined that the second change start designation command or the like is received and the display of the image on the image display device 5 is started, the value of the second effect process flag is updated to “1”.

  The second display start setting process of step S <b> 471 is a process executed when the value of the second effect process flag is “1”. FIG. 49 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S471 of FIG. 48 as the second display start setting process. In the second display start setting process shown in FIG. 49, first, the effect control CPU 120 displays the variable display result in the second special view game based on, for example, the second display result designation command transmitted from the main substrate 11 or the like. The image (display image of the variable display result) for notifying the variable display result in the second special view game to be displayed in the area 5B when the game is performed is determined as the image showing the variable display result indicated by the second display result designation command (Step S4029). For example, if the variable display result indicated by the second display result notification command is "big hit", an image of "o" is determined, and if "losing", an image of "x" is determined as an image to be displayed in area 5B. .

  After the process of step S4029 is performed, the effect control pattern (length corresponding to the second special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern) according to the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command transmitted and received from the main substrate 11 The effect control pattern for executing variable display of the predetermined image is set as a usage pattern to be used later (step S4030).

  Next, the CPU for effect control 120, for example, corresponds to the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command, the initial value of the second effect control process timer provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 122 (the second corresponding to the fluctuation pattern An initial value corresponding to the special figure fluctuation time is set (step S4031).

  Then, setting for starting the image display in the image display device 5 is performed (step S4032). At this time, the rendering operation control is performed, for example, by transmitting a display control command to the VDP of the display control unit 123 or the like. Thereafter, the value of the second effect process flag is updated to "2" which is a value corresponding to the second display effect process (step S4033), and the second display start setting process is ended.

  Returning to FIG. 48, the second display effect process of step S472 is a process executed when the value of the second effect process flag is "2". FIG. 50 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S 472 of FIG. 48 as the second display effect process. In the second display effect process shown in FIG. 50, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether the display time of the image corresponding to the fluctuation pattern has elapsed based on, for example, the timer value of the second effect control process timer. Is determined (step S4051). As an example, in the process of step S4051, the timer value of the second effect control process timer is updated (for example, decremented by 1), and the process ends from the second effect control pattern corresponding to the updated timer value of the second effect control process timer When the code is read out, it may be determined that the display time of the image has elapsed.

  If the display time of the predetermined image (for example, the variable display time of the image of "o" and the image of "x") has not elapsed in step S4051 (step S4051; No), it is set as the use pattern An image (the above-mentioned predetermined image) indicating that the second special drawing game is being executed is displayed in the area 5B according to the effect control pattern (for example, an image of “o” as a kind of variable display of identification information Effect operation control and the like for variably displaying the image of “x” and “x” (step S 4056). After step S4056, the second display effect process ends.

  When the display time of the predetermined image (for example, the variable display time of the image of "o" and the image of "x") has passed in step S4051 (step S4051; Yes), the data is transmitted from main substrate 11 It is determined whether or not the second symbol determination specification command has been received (step S4065). At this time, if the second symbol determination designating command is not received (step S4065; No), the second display effect processing is ended and the process waits. It should be noted that after the display time has elapsed, if the predetermined time has elapsed without receiving the second symbol determination specification command, the second symbol determination specification command can not be received normally in response to the failure. Error processing may be performed.

  If the second symbol determination designating command is received in step S4065 (step S4065; Yes), control is performed to display an image notifying of a variable display result in the second special view game, for example, by the rendering operation control ( Step S4066). At this time, a predetermined time predetermined as the second contact start designation command reception waiting time is set to the second effect control process timer (may be another timer provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 122) or the like (step S4067) . Then, the value of the second effect process flag is updated to "3" which is a value corresponding to the second special drawing-per-wait process (step S4068), and the second on-display process is ended.

  Returning to FIG. 48, the second special drawing hit waiting process of step S473 is a process executed when the value of the second effect process flag is "3". In the second special drawing-per-wait process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the second contact start designation command transmitted from the main substrate 11 has been received. Then, when the second hit start designation command is received, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "4", and the present process is ended. In addition, when the second effect control process timer times out without receiving the second hit start specification command (when the second hit start specification command reception waiting time has elapsed), the second special figure in the second special figure game It is determined that the display result is "losing", the value of the second effect process flag is updated to "0" which is the initial value, and the present process is ended.

  The second jackpot process of step S474 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “4”. In this process, a presentation control pattern or the like corresponding to the presentation content in the big hit gaming state is set, and presentation operation control (for example, control to display an image of "O", see FIG. 56) is performed with the presentation pattern set. Also, for example, in response to the reception of the second hit end designation command from the main substrate 11, the value of the second effect control process flag is updated to "5" which is a value corresponding to the second ending effect process. .

  The second ending effect process of step S475 is a process executed when the value of the second effect process flag is "5". In the second ending effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the end of the big hit gaming state, for example, and performs effect operation control with the set effect pattern. Also, at the end of the ending, the value of the second effect control process flag is updated to "0" which is the initial value.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 51, the gaming state and the like of this embodiment will be described.

  If the first special view game is executed in the normal state and "big hit" of "5R short-term" is derived and displayed, the short-term open big-hit gaming state is controlled (but the gaming state at this time remains the normal state) Because there is no winning of the big winning opening (no entry of gaming balls into the probability variation detection area 50), the gaming state from immediately after the short-term opening jackpot gaming state remains in the normal state (FIG. 51 ( A)).

  When the first special view game is executed in the normal state and the "big hit" of "5R normal" is derived and displayed, the normal open big hit gaming state is controlled (the gaming state at this time remains the normal state), Usually, a winning on the big winning opening occurs (progress of the game ball into the probability variation detection area 50 occurs), the gaming state from immediately after the opening jackpot gaming state is a high probability high base state chance period It becomes (FIG. 51 (B)). That is, the high probability high base state (chance period) is started.

  When the first special view game is executed in the high probability high base state (chance period) and the "5R short-term" "big hit" is derived and displayed, a specific effect is performed before that and with the end of the specific effect The opportunity period ends. Then, it is controlled to short-term opening big hit game state (the game state becomes normal state). In the short-term opening big hit gaming state, since the winning of the big winning opening does not occur (there is no entry of the gaming ball into the probability change detection area 50), the gaming state from immediately after the short-term opening big hit gaming state remains normal. (FIG. 51 (C)). The high probability high base state is ended.

  When the first special view game is executed in the high probability high base state (chance period) and the “5R normal” “big hit” is derived and displayed, a specific effect is performed before that and with the end of the specific effect The opportunity period ends. Thereafter, the game is controlled to the normally open jackpot gaming state (the gaming state is the normal state), and a winning to the big winning opening usually occurs (the entry of the gaming ball to the probability change detection area 50 occurs), The gaming state from immediately after the normally open big hit gaming state continues the high probability high base state, and the chance period (FIG. 51 (D)) comes again.

  When the second special view game is executed in the high probability high base state (chance period) and the "big hit" of "5R normal" is derived and displayed, it is controlled to the normal open big hit gaming state (the game state is the normal state) Usually, a winning in the big winning opening occurs (progress of the game ball into the probability change detection area 50 occurs), the gaming state from immediately after the opening jackpot gaming state is usually high probability high base state Will be continued. In the case of the "big hit" of the second special view game, the specific effect is not executed (it is because there is no fear that the high probability high base state ends), and the chance period continues without ending (FIG. 51 (E (E)). )).

  Next, in this embodiment, an example of the effect screen displayed on the image display device 5 will be described.

  First, when the gaming state is the normal state, the first special figure game is executed, and when the "big hit" is derived and displayed, the effect screen will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the first special view game is executed in the normal state, variable display of decorative symbols (indicated by arrows in the figure, hereinafter the same applies to variable display) starts in area 5A of the screen (FIG. 52). (A)). Then, reach is established at a predetermined timing (a timing predetermined in each variation pattern). Although the decorative symbol (the decorative symbol stopped and displayed) constituting the reach is "6" here, it may be another decorative symbol.

  Thereafter, an effect of hiding the decorative pattern is executed once immediately before the derived display of the finalized decorative pattern (FIG. 52 (C)). Such an effect is, for example, defined by an effect control pattern or the like, and is executed in step S3062.

  After that, the final stop symbol of "big hit" is derived and displayed in synchronization with the derivation timing of the variable display result of the first special view game, but at this time the big hit type is "5R normal" and the situation at this time is specified When the jackpot symbol derivation condition (see FIG. 45, FIG. 52) is satisfied, “7” is uniformly displayed as the specified jackpot symbol (step S3068) (FIG. 52D). This derivation display is performed, for example, by the process of step S3068. When the jackpot type is "5R normal" and does not satisfy the derivation condition of the specific jackpot symbol, "5" is displayed uniformly as a normal jackpot symbol when the jackpot type is "5R normal" (FIG. 52 (FIG. 52 ( E)). When the jackpot type is "5R short-term", "6" is uniformly displayed as a normal jackpot symbol when the jackpot type is "5R short-term" (step S3069) (FIG. 52F).

  In the case of "big hit" of "5R normal" (when the big hit symbol is "5" or "7"), it is controlled to the normally open big hit gaming state. In this embodiment, the jackpot symbol is "5" or "7", but the contents of the jackpot gaming state are the same. After the normal opening big hit gaming state, usually it becomes high probability high base state, chance period comes, with the effect which is executed in the said normal opening big hit gaming state, that it is currently in the big hit gaming state, chance An effect of notifying that a period has come is executed (step S 374) (FIG. 52 (G)). Then, a chance period presentation (showing the word “chance !!”) for notifying the chance period, and a remaining time notification for notifying at least the period when the chance period is not completed as the remaining time of the chance period “Time 5:00” is displayed, and the effect of the timer display which reduces the time in real time) is executed (step S852, step S862) (FIG. 52 (H)).

  In the case of "5R short-term" "big hit", it is controlled to short-term open big hit gaming state. In the case of the short-term opening big hit gaming state, usually it does not become high probability high base state after that, in the short-term opening big hit gaming state, the effect that it does not become high probability high base state ("It is disappointing though it is big hit ..." Is displayed (step S 374) (FIG. 52 (I)). After that, the game in the normal state is performed (FIG. 52 (J)).

  Next, an example of the effect screen in the high probability high base state (chance period) will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 53 (A), during the chance period, the chance period effect is executed, and at this time, the effect of displaying the characters “chance !!” is executed (in the chance period effect, the background image etc. It may be changed to the image for the chance period). In FIG. 53A, the image of “o” and the image of “x” are variably displayed in the area 5B (indicated by arrows in the figure). Further, in the example of FIG. 53 (A), there is no suspension of the first special view game at the end of the big hit gaming state, and it is determined that notification of the remaining time is not executed thereby (step S3204; No) or the like. Notification has not been executed.

  As shown in FIG. 53 (B), notification of the remaining time may be performed along with the chance period presentation. The remaining time notification is an effect of displaying a “remaining time 5:00” here and displaying a timer that reduces the time in real time. The notification of the remaining time is executed particularly when there is a hold of the first special view, and it is an effect of telling the end of the chance period. As shown in FIG. 53 (B), during the chance period, the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle" and "right" are moved to the upper left area of the area 5A, Performs variable display of decorative symbols smaller than usual.

  Next, an example of the effect screen of the extended notification (step S869) will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the extension notification, for example, as shown in FIG. 54 (A), while notifying the extension time (+30 seconds), the effect is that the time is added to the remaining time (4:00) notified by the remaining time notification. To be executed.

  As shown in FIG. 54 (B), a time less than the actually extended time (+30 seconds) is first notified (+5 seconds), and the time to be extended thereafter is increased to actually extend the time. May be notified (+30 seconds).

  Next, an example of an effect screen (including an image of a specific effect) corresponding to the first special view game executed during the high-accuracy high-base state (chance period) will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the high probability high base state, since the chance period effect is executed, the "left", "middle", "right" decorative symbol display so that the variable display of the decorative symbol corresponding to the first special view game is not noticeable The areas 5L, 5C, and 5R move toward the upper left of the area 5A, where variable display of a decorative pattern smaller than normal is executed (FIG. 55 (A)). In such variable display, reach is established when a predetermined timing is reached (FIG. 55 (B) or (D)). In this embodiment, in the high-accuracy high-base state, the variable display period becomes long, and the reach is established (however, the reach effect is not performed so as not to be affected by the chance period effect) (see FIG. 15). Then, when the variable display result is "losing" and the specific effect is not executed, the finalized decorative symbol of the combination of reach losing is derived and displayed (FIG. 55 (C)). In this case, the chance period (high probability high base state) continues as it is.

  In the case where the specific effect is executed (when the remaining time of the remaining time notification becomes “0”, the specific effect is started to be executed. Step S3053) (Note that the specific effect is also started to be executed before the reach is established. A certain effect is executed by displaying the word “Challenge end ??” and feeling the danger that the chance period will end (Crisis that the “big hit” of “5R short-term” is derived) (Step S3057) (FIG. 55 (E)). In this embodiment, the finalized decorative symbol is derived and displayed with the end of the specific effect (thereby, the chance period, the chance period effect, etc. end (step S3059, etc.)).

  If the finalized decorative symbol is "losing", it is informed that the chance period will come again (set in step S3108) as the end of the specific effect (displaying "opening chance!"), And the combination of reach losing is decided The decorative design is derived and displayed (FIG. 55 (F)). Thereafter, the chance period presentation is started again (processing in step S373).

  If the determined decoration pattern is a "5R short-term" "big hit", it is informed that the chance period ends as the end of the specific effect (the high probability high base state ends) (set in step S3107) (Display of "CANCEL END ..."), a finalized decoration symbol of the jackpot combination in which "6" corresponding to "5R short-term" are aligned is derived and displayed (FIG. 55 (G)). Thereafter, during the jackpot gaming state (short-term opening jackpot gaming state), an effect (display of "sorry ...") notifying that the chance period does not come thereafter is executed (Fig. 55 (H)). In addition, the effect in the big hit gaming state may be the same effect as that when the "big hit" of "5R short-term" in the normal state is derived (Fig. 52 (I)). After the jackpot gaming state, normal state effects are executed.

  If the determined decoration pattern is "5R normal" "big hit", it is informed that the chance period will come again (set in step S3106) as the end of the specific effect (display of "chance revival !!") The determined decoration pattern of the jackpot combination in which “5” corresponding to “5R normal” are aligned is derived and displayed (FIG. 55 (I)). Thereafter, during the big hit gaming state (normally open big hit gaming state), an effect of notifying that a chance period will come is executed thereafter (FIG. 55 (J)). The effect in the big hit gaming state is the same effect as that when "big hit" of "5R normal" is derived in the normal state (FIG. 52 (G)), but may be a different effect.

  In this embodiment, as in the normal state, when the above derivation condition (FIG. 45) is satisfied when "big hit" of "5R normal", the specific big hit symbols ("7") are aligned. Although the derivation display is shown, it is not necessary to display the specific big hit symbol all at once in the high certainty high base state (for example, it is premised that the production side high certainty high base is in the off state as the above derivation condition) It should be a condition).

  In addition, when the second special view game is executed, an image of “o” and an image of “x” are variably displayed in the area 5B in synchronization with that (FIG. 55 (G); I) (refer to the arrow in FIG. 55), during the execution of the second special figure game, when the "big hit" is derived and displayed in the first special figure game and it becomes the big hit gaming state, the second special The character of "cut" which shows that the figure game is being interrupted is displayed (FIG. 55 (H), FIG. 55 (J)).

  Next, an example of an effect screen (including an image of a specific effect) corresponding to the second special view game executed during the high-accuracy high-base state (chance period) will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the second special figure game is executed, in synchronization with it, the image of "o" and the image of "x" are variably displayed in the area 5B (FIG. 55 (A)), and the second special figure game is When the variable display result is "big hit", the image of "o" is derived and displayed (Fig. 55 (B)), and when the variable display result of the second special view game is "loss", the image of "x" is derived. The image is displayed (FIG. 55 (C)), and during the big hit gaming state, the area 5B displays an image of “current” as an image being in the big hit gaming state (FIG. 55 (D)). In addition, since the high probability high base state (chance period) continues because only the big hit classification of “5R normal” is selected when the second special figure game is “big hit”, and also in the high probability high base state Since the second special view game is likely to be a "big hit", it is not necessary to particularly notify that it is in the big hit gaming state.

  In addition, when the first special view game is executed, a decorative symbol is variably displayed in the area 5A in synchronization with it (see FIGS. 56A to 56C) (see the arrow in FIG. 56). 1) During the execution of the special figure game, the "big hit" is derived and displayed in the second special figure game, and when the big hit gaming state is established, the area 5A indicates that the first special figure game is being interrupted. The character of "inside" is displayed (FIG. 56 (C)).

  Next, the relationship between the chance period (the chance period presentation) and the remaining time notification will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 57, at the end of the big hit gaming state (or when the display result of the first special view game for which the specific effect is executed is “loss”), if there is a hold of the first special view game, The execution setting of the specific effect is made, and the notification of the remaining time is started immediately after the end of the jackpot gaming state (see FIG. 57A, FIG. 46, etc.). At the end of the jackpot gaming state (or when the display result of the first special view game for which the specific effect has been executed is "loss"), if there is no suspension of the first special view game, the first start winning occurs When (when it is the start of the first special view game here), notification of the remaining time is started (see FIG. 57, etc.). Thus, in this embodiment, notification of the remaining time can be appropriately performed.

  Next, a method of determining which variable display a specific effect is to be performed will be described with reference to FIG. At the end of the jackpot gaming state (or when the display result of the first special view game for which the specific effect has been executed is "loss"), there is a suspension of the first special view game, and a suspension of the jackpot determination is If there is a specific effect flag corresponding to the suspension of the big hit determination is turned on (FIG. 46, steps S3206 and S3207 in FIG. 47), and the variable display of the suspension is performed (during the first special figure game of the big hit) The specific effect is executed (Fig. 58 (A)). At the end of the jackpot gaming state (or when the display result of the first special view game for which the specific effect has been executed is "loss"), there is a suspension of the first special view game, and a suspension of the jackpot determination is If not, the specific effect flag corresponding to any one of the reservations (determined randomly) is turned on (FIG. 46, steps S3206, S3208, and S3209 in FIG. 47), and the variable display of the suspension is executed (loss) The specific effect is executed at the time of the first special view game execution of (1) (FIG. 58 (B)). When there is no hold of the first special figure game at the end of the jackpot gaming state (or when the display result of the first special figure game for which the specific effect has been executed is "loss"), the first executed first (1) The specific effect flag corresponding to the special view game (first special view game temporarily stored on hold) is turned on (step S856), and the specific effect is executed when the first special view game variable display is executed (FIG. C)). Thus, in this embodiment, the specific effect can be appropriately performed.

  Next, the delaying of the specific effect (step S867) will be described with reference to FIG. If execution of a specific effect is set in the first special drawing game with a loss (when the specific effect flag corresponding to suspension of a loss is in the on state), if there is a new start winning, it is executed in the starting winning In order to execute a specific effect in the first special view game, the specific effect flag may be turned on by one. By delaying the specific effect, the execution time of the specific effect can be made appropriate (in particular, when the first special view game is a "big hit", the specific effect can be easily performed).

  Next, the extension of the remaining time notified by the remaining time notification (extension by the extension notification) will be described with reference to FIG.

  The time to be extended by the extension notification is, for example, set when starting the execution of notification of the remaining time (steps S860, S3212, etc.), or increased by the delaying of the specific effect or the interruption of the first special view game. (Step S868, Step S820). For example, as shown in FIG. 60, the remaining time (decreasing in real time) notified by the remaining time notification is extended by extension notifications A1 to A6 periodically executed (step S869). Moreover, it is extended also by extension alerting | reporting B1-B3 by discontinuation of a 1st special figure game (step S819-S821, step S869). Also, it is extended by the extension notification C1 when the remaining time reaches 0 seconds (step S869). By such an extension, when the remaining time notified by the remaining time notification becomes 0 seconds, the specific effect is executed. In particular, even if the chance period is extended due to the interruption of the first special view game or the specific effect is delayed, the specific effect will be executed when the remaining time becomes 0 seconds. In this embodiment, when the first to-be-executed or suspended game is a variation pattern of a long-term variable display period, extension notification can be easily made in a relatively short time (step S869). In this manner, the remaining time can be appropriately extended by the extension notification (for example, the end timing of the specific effect and the end of the first special view game (derivation of the finalized decorative symbol) can be matched).

  Next, an aspect of extension by extension notification will be described with reference to FIG. If the execution of the first special view game is interrupted while the remaining time notification is being executed, but the extension for the interruption period is not performed during the execution of the first special game, the first special view At the end of execution of the game, the extension notification is executed such that the extension for the interruption period is all performed (steps S3071 to S3072). By this, even if the first special view game is interrupted, the remaining time can be appropriately extended by the extension notification (for example, the end timing of the specific effect and the end of the first special view game (derivation of the determined decoration symbol)) Can be combined with

  Next, a specific effect in which the execution period is expanded (extended) by the interruption of the execution of the first special view game will be described with reference to FIG. When there is an interruption in the execution of the first special view game corresponding to the variable display of the decorative design in which the specific effect is executed, the execution period of the specific effect is expanded by the interruption period (step S 3056 A). By this, even if the first special figure game is interrupted, the execution period of the specific effect can be appropriately expanded (for example, the end timing of the specific effect and the end of the first special figure game (derivation of the determined decoration pattern) Can be combined with

  In this embodiment, the first variable display means (for example, the first special symbol display device 4A) which executes the variable display of the first identification information (for example, the first special symbol etc.) and derives the display result by the above configuration. Or the like, or second variable display means (for example, the second special symbol display device 4B or the like) for performing variable display of the second identification information (for example, the second special symbol etc.) and deriving a display result A gaming machine (for example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 or the like) is configured to shift to a specific gaming state (for example, the big hit gaming state or the like) when a specific display result (for example, a big hit symbol or the like) is derived.

  Then, with the above configuration, the gaming machine causes the first variable display means to perform variable display of the first identification information and causes the second variable display means to perform variable display of the second identification information. (1) A variable display execution unit (for example, the CPU 103 that executes step S921 and step S922) capable of concurrently executing variable display of identification information and variable display of second identification information, and at least a first identification Decoration variable display execution means (for example, CPU 120 for effect control etc which executes processing of step S372 etc) which executes variable display of decoration identification information corresponding to variable display of information and derives decoration display result, game state A game state control means to control (for example, the CPU 103 which turns on the high probability high base flag in step S1503 or step S2503) If, on the secondary side pending storage means for storing the variable display of the first identification information that is not yet started as pending memory (e.g., such as the first Japanese view pending storage unit), a.

  And, with the above configuration, the gaming state control means can control the gaming state after the end of the specific gaming state to an advantageous state (for example, high probability high base state etc.) advantageous to the player (for example, The high probability high base flag is turned on in step S1503 or step S2503).

  The advantageous state may be a gaming state advantageous to the player, and may be a low probability high base state or a high probability low base state. Moreover, the start of the advantageous state may not be triggered by the game ball entering the probability change detection area 40. For example, when the jackpot type is a specific type such as "5R probability variation" (or when the type of the specific gaming state is a specific type), it may be controlled to an advantageous state after the specific gaming state . Further, the advantageous state may be controlled immediately after the end of the specific gaming state or after a predetermined period has elapsed since the end. For example, each time variable display is executed after the specific gaming state ends, a lottery to be promoted to an advantageous state (may be performed using a random number and a table, the same applies hereinafter) is performed, and the game is won. It may be controlled to an advantageous state. At this time, the probability of winning may be increased in the case of a specific type.

  In the advantageous state, the variable display of the second identification information is performed in the direction after the end of the specific gaming state when the variable display of the first identification information is executed and the specific display result is derived. It is easier to finish than after the end of the specific gaming state when the display result is derived (for example, in the first special view game, "big hit" of "5R short-term" to end the high probability high base state is derived and displayed However, in the second special view game, the “big hit” of “5R short-term” ending the high probability high base state is not derived and displayed, etc.).

  Further, in this embodiment, the special game state in the middle is in the normal state during the period of the advantageous state, but the normal state may not be returned during the specific game state. The end of the advantageous state may be a state in which the advantageous state is not recontrolled after the specific gaming state. Further, in the above embodiment, the advantageous state is continued by the specific display result of the specific type ("5R normal") being derived in the variable display of the second identification information and controlled to the specific gaming state. However, what is necessary is to continue until the predetermined specific display result is derived in the variable display of the first identification information. In the above embodiment, the specific display result derived by the variable display of the second identification information always keeps the advantageous state, but a plurality of the specific display results are prepared, and a part of the specific display results is in the advantageous state. It is good also as a specific display result ("big hit" of "5R short-term" etc.) which is made to end. In such a case, the variable display of the first identification information may be easier to derive the specific display result for ending the advantageous state than the variable display of the second identification information. Further, the advantageous state may end immediately after the end of the specific gaming state, or may end after a predetermined period has elapsed since the end. For example, for each variable display executed after the specific gaming state ends, a lottery to fall from the advantageous state to the normal state (a random value and a table may be used, the same applies hereinafter) is performed. If the lottery has been won, the advantageous state may be ended. For example, only after the specific gaming state based on the derivation of the specific display result of the variable display of the first identification information, for example, the fall lottery may be performed each time the variable display is executed, or the first identification The fall ratio is higher after the specific gaming state based on the derivation of the specific display result of the variable display of information than after the specific gaming state based on the derivation of the specific display result of the variable display of the second identification information. (A fall lottery in this case is also executed, for example, every variable display, etc.).

  Further, according to the above configuration, when the variable display of the first identification information is executed and the specific display result is derived, the decoration variable display execution means selects, as the decoration display result, among a plurality of kinds of decoration specification display results. Can be derived (for example, the CPU 120 for effect control that derives and displays a finalized decorative symbol forming a big hit combination in which either “5” or “7” is aligned), and the variable display of the first identification information is When the specific display result is derived and executed, and when the pending storage means does not store the pending storage (for example, the jackpot symbol is derived and displayed in the variable display of the first special symbol, and (1) When the number of special drawing reservations is "0", etc.), as the decoration display result, a specific decoration specification display result (for example, "7") among the plurality of kinds of decoration specification display results It is possible to derive the particular jackpot symbol, etc.) aligned (e.g., such as presentation control CPU120 for executing the processing in step S3068), so that.

  According to the above configuration, the ease of termination (continuation) of the advantageous state can be easily understood depending on the type of the decoration specifying display result, and the interest of the game can be improved. In particular, as in the above embodiment, the symbol (decorative identification display result) is displayed when the condition for deriving the specific jackpot symbol is satisfied and when the condition is not satisfied, such as when the holding storage is stored by the reservation storage means. By making them different, it is easy to understand the ease of ending (continuation) of the advantageous state, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, according to the above configuration, the advantageous state is started upon transition to a specific type of the specific gaming state (for example, a normally open big hit gaming state, etc.), and the predetermined type different from the specific type is started. The game is ended upon transitioning to the specific gaming state (for example, short-term opening big hit gaming state etc.), and the gaming machine is caused to transition to the specific gaming state of the predetermined type in the variable display of the first identification information. A period notification effect executing means (for example, the effect control CPU 120 for executing the process of step S 862, etc.) for executing a period notification effect (for example, remaining time notification etc.) for notifying a non-derivation period where the specific display result is not derived It will be.

  According to the above configuration, the period notification effect enables the player to grasp the non-derivation period and improve the interest of the game.

  Further, according to the above configuration, when the specific decoration specifying display result is derived and when the predetermined decoration specifying display result other than the specific decoration specifying display result is derived, the advantage of the specific gaming state is obtained. The degree is the same (for example, even if the determined decoration symbol constituting the big hit combination is “5” or “7”, it is controlled to the normally open big hit gaming state, etc.), etc.

  According to the above configuration, it is possible to suppress that the specific gaming state when the specific decoration specific display result is derived becomes excessively advantageous.

  Further, according to the above configuration, the game machine determines the mode of the variable display of the first identification information corresponding to the suspension storage stored by the suspension storage unit (for example, the CPU 103 which executes the process of step S1006) The decorative variable display execution unit is configured to execute the variable display of the first identification information and derive the specific display result, and when the determination result of the determination unit satisfies the specific condition (for example, The jackpot symbol is derived and displayed in the variable display of the first special symbol, and there is no judgment of the jackpot in the suspension of the variable display of the first special symbol or the judgment of the jackpot in the suspension of the variable display of the first special symbol If the period until the "big hit" is derived (the first special figure fluctuation time) is long, it may be at least one of the above derivation conditions, etc.), with the decoration display result Te, wherein it is possible to derive certain decorative specific display result (e.g., such as presentation control CPU120 for executing the processing in step S3068), so that.

  According to the above configuration, the ease of termination (continuation) of the advantageous state can be easily understood depending on the type of the decoration specifying display result, and the interest of the game can be improved. In particular, as in the above embodiment, if the determination result of the determination means satisfies the specific condition, the symbol (decorative identification display result) is different depending on whether the condition for deriving the specific jackpot symbol is satisfied or not. By doing this, the ease of ending (continuation) of the advantageous state can be made easy to understand, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, according to the above configuration, the determination unit determines whether or not the specific display result is derived for the pending storage stored by the pending storage unit (for example, the CPU 103 that executes the process of step S402) When the determination result of the determination means satisfies the specific condition, the determination means determines that the specific display result is not derived for all the pending storages stored by the pending storage means ( For example, there is no determination of the big hit in the suspension of the variable display of the first special symbol, etc.).

  In addition, when the determination result of the determination means satisfies the specific condition, the determination means is the specific gaming state in which the advantageous state is ended with respect to all the suspension storages stored by the suspension storage. It may be determined that a specific display result (for example, a "big hit" of "5R short-term") is not derived.

  According to the above configuration, the ease of termination (continuation) of the advantageous state can be easily understood depending on the type of the decoration specifying display result, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, according to the above configuration, the determination unit determines whether or not the specific display result is derived for the pending storage stored by the pending storage unit, and the variable display period of the variable display (for example, When the determination result of the determination means satisfies the specific condition, the determination of the determination means with respect to all pending storages stored by the pending storage means. It is when the period until the said specific display result is derived which is specified by the result is derived is more than the specific period (for example, there is a judgment of big hit in the suspension of the variable display of the first special symbol, but "big hit" When the period until it is derived (the first special figure fluctuation time) is long, etc.).

  Note that when the determination result of the determination means satisfies the specific condition, the advantageous state is ended, which is specified by the determination result of the determination means for all the pending storages stored by the pending storage means. It may be when the period until the specific display result (for example, the “big hit” of “5R short-term”) to be the specific gaming state is derived is equal to or longer than the specific period.

  According to the above configuration, the ease of termination (continuation) of the advantageous state can be easily understood depending on the type of the decoration specifying display result, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, according to the above configuration, the gaming machine performs a period notification effect (for example, executed in a chance period) informing a non-derivation period in which a display result that ends the advantageous state is not derived in variable display of the first identification information. Period presentation effect executing means (for example, effect control CPU 120 for executing the process of step S862 etc.) for executing the remaining time notification etc. and an extension effect (for example, And an extension effect execution unit (for example, the effect control CPU 120 that executes the process of step S869).

  In the above embodiment, the period notification effect continuously notifies the non-derivation period (although the remaining time is reduced in real time), but the non-derivation period is only at regular or irregular timings. It may be informed.

  Further, according to the above configuration, the extension effect may be a first extension effect (for example, a long extension notification with an extension time of 40 seconds or 50 seconds, etc.) and a second extension period shorter than the first extension effect. An extension effect (for example, a short extension message such as an extension time of 10 seconds or 20 seconds, etc.), and the extension effect executing means is a first identification information having a variable display period equal to or longer than a specific period (first period) It is easy to execute the second extension effect during execution of variable display (for example, CPU 120 for effect control that executes short-term extension notification when the change pattern of the variable display of the first special symbol in execution is a long-term change) And so on).

  In the above embodiment, the short-term extension effect is executed during the variable display of the first identification information in which the variable display period is equal to or longer than the specific period, and the variable display period is less than the specific period. Although the second extension effect is not performed during the variable display, the second extension effect can be performed even if the variable display period is equal to or longer than the specific period or less than the specific period, The execution ratio of the second extension effect may be higher when the variable display period is equal to or longer than the specific period than when the variable display period is less than the specific period.

  The extension effect execution means may shorten the average of the extension period to be extended by the extension effect when the variable display period is longer than the specific period than when the variable display period is not longer than the specific period.

  According to the above configuration, it is possible to prevent the notification of the non-leading period from becoming monotonous by the extension effect, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game. In addition, when the variable display period is a long period which is equal to or longer than the specific period, it is possible to increase the opportunity to execute the extension effect (because the extension effect can be executed many times by notifying a short time). It can improve the interest.

  With the above configuration, the extension effect execution unit performs variable display of the first identification information whose variable display period is less than the specific period during variable display of the first identification information whose variable display period is the specific period or more. The extension period (eg, short-term extension notification) is shorter than the shortest extension period (eg, the shortest 30 seconds that can be extended in the long-term extension notification, It is possible to execute an extension effect that extends the non-lead period in the shortest 10 seconds to be obtained (for example, the effect control CPU 120 that executes the process of step S869).

  According to the above configuration, the interest of the game can be improved by the extension effect. In addition, when the variable display period is a long period which is equal to or longer than the specific period, it is possible to increase the opportunity to execute the extension effect (because the extension effect can be executed many times by notifying a short time). It can improve the interest.

  With the above configuration, as the extension effect, the extension effect execution unit is configured to extend the non-lead period in a short extension period while the variable display period of the variable identification period is longer than the specific period. It is possible to execute an effect of extending the non-derivation period in an extension period longer than the short extension period (for example, as shown in FIG. 54 (B), an extension notification of adding an extension time is performed). Effect control CPU 120, etc.).

  According to the above configuration, even if the extension period is short, there is a possibility that the extension period will be long, so the sense of expectation is sustained and the interest of the game can be improved.

  According to the above configuration, the hold storage unit (for example, the first special view hold storage unit etc.) for storing the variable display of the first identification information not started yet as the hold storage and the hold stored by the hold storage unit Determining means for determining the variable display period of the variable display of the first identification information corresponding to storage (for example, determining means for determining whether or not the variable display period is a period equal to or longer than the specific period) (for example, And the effect control CPU 120 that executes the process of step S884 based on the determination result, and the extension effect execution unit determines that the variable display period is a specific period in the suspension storage stored by the suspension storage unit. (In the second period, it may be a period different from the above-mentioned specific period (the first period)). It is easy to execute the second extension effect (for example, of the first special symbol) when the pending storage includes the pending storage determined by the determination unit that the variable display period is equal to or longer than the specific period). The effect control CPU 120 or the like executes a short-term extension notification when the pending display of the variable display includes the pending storage of the fluctuation pattern of the long-term fluctuation.

  In the above embodiment, the short-term extension effect is performed when the suspension storage stored by the suspension storage unit includes the suspension storage determined by the determination unit to have the variable display period equal to or longer than the specific period. And the second extension effect is not performed during the variable display of the first identification information whose variable display period is less than the specific period when the pending storage determined to be equal to or longer than the specific period is not included. The second extension effect can be executed regardless of whether or not the pending storage determined to be equal to or longer than the specific period is included, and the execution ratio of the second extension effect is It may be made higher when the pending storage determined to be longer than the specific period is higher than when the pending storage determined to be longer than the specific period is not included.

  Further, the determination unit determines the variable display period, and the extension effect execution unit determines that the total of the variable display periods determined by the determination unit is predetermined for each of the hold storages stored by the hold storage unit. The second extension effect may be easily performed when the period is equal to or longer than the period.

  The extension effect execution means may shorten the average of the extension period to be extended by the extension effect when the specific period or the predetermined period or more is not longer than the specific period or the predetermined period or more.

  According to the above configuration, it is possible to prevent the notification of the non-leading period from becoming monotonous by the extension effect, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game. In addition, when the variable display period is a long period, the opportunity to execute the extension effect (because the extension effect can be executed many times by notifying a short time) can be increased, and the interest of the game can be improved. Can.

  With the above configuration, when the extension storage executed by the extension effect execution unit includes the suspension storage determined by the determination unit to be the variable display period or more, the suspension storage stored by the suspension storage unit includes: An extension period (e.g., a short period) shorter than the shortest extension period (e.g., the shortest 30 seconds that can be extended in the long-term extension notification) of the extension period that can be extended by the extension effect when the retention memory is not included It is possible to execute an extension effect that extends the non-derivation period in the shortest 10 seconds that can be extended in the extension notification (for example, the effect control CPU 120 that executes the process of step S869).

  According to the above configuration, the interest of the game can be improved by the extension effect. In addition, when the variable display period is a long period, the opportunity to execute the extension effect (because the extension effect can be executed many times by notifying a short time) can be increased, and the interest of the game can be improved. Can.

  According to the above configuration, the extension effect execution unit, as the extension effect, extends the non-lead period in a short extension period while executing variable display of the first identification information whose variable display period is longer than the specific period as the extension effect. It is possible to execute an effect of extending the non-lead period in an extended period longer than the short extended period (for example, for effect control to execute extended notification in which the extended time is added as shown in FIG. 54B). CPU 120 and so forth).

  According to the above configuration, even if the extension period is short, there is a possibility that the extension period will be long, so the sense of expectation is sustained and the interest of the game can be improved.

  According to the above configuration, the gaming machine includes variable display period determination means (for example, the CPU 103 for executing the process of step S111) for determining a variable display period of variable display of the first identification information, and the variable display execution means And performing the variable display of the first identification information in the variable display period determined by the variable display period determining means, and performing the variable display of the second identification information during the variable display of the first identification information. When the result is derived, the passage of time (for example, measurement of the variable display period) of the variable display period of the variable display of the first identification information is interrupted, and the specific gaming state when the specific display result is derived After the end of the period (for example, measurement of the variable display period) is resumed (for example, steps S102 to S106 are executed to execute the first special view). During the execution of the variable display of the second special symbol when the "big hit" is derived in the variable display of the second special symbol and controlled to the big hit gaming state CPU103 etc to interrupt the processing of the variable display of the first special symbol) Become. In addition, from the time of the variable display of the 2nd identification information from which a specific display result is derived | led-out, you may make it interrupt time progress (for example, measurement of a variable display period) of the variable display period of the variable display of 1st identification information. (The following extension effects and specific effects may be performed, for example, according to the interruption time from the time of variable display of the second identification information from which the specific display result is derived.) For example, the first special figure game may be interrupted from the start of the second special figure game which is the "big hit" to the end of the big hit gaming state based on the "big hit". In addition, from the time of the variable display of the 1st identification information from which a specific display result is derived | led-out, you may make it interrupt time progress (for example, measurement of a variable display period) of the variable display period of the variable display of 2nd identification information. . For example, the second special figure game may be interrupted from the start of the first special figure game to be the "big hit" to the end of the big hit gaming state based on the "big hit".

  To interrupt the passage of time of the variable display period includes that the variable display period is not internally measured and the interruption period is not included in the variable display period even though the variable display is apparently performed. . Even in appearance, the variable display may not be performed. In addition, when variable display of the first identification information is performed using data such as effect control patterns (that is, sequentially reading data arranged in time series), the reading of the data is interrupted, and the first It also includes interrupting the execution of the variable display of identification information.

  According to the above configuration, the extension effect execution unit is interrupted after the start of the execution of the period notification effect and during the variable display period of the variable display of the first identification information (for example, measurement of the variable display period). Execute the extension effect according to the interrupted period (for example, in step S869, the extension notification is executed based on the addition flag turned on by the interruption of the variable display of the first special symbol Such as the CPU 120 for effect control).

  According to the above configuration, an extension effect makes the player's sense of discomfort (the difference between the end timing of the non-derivation period notified by the period notification effect and the derivation timing of the display result in the variable display of the first identification information increases Discomfort) can be reduced, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the game. In addition, the said specific presentation may be unnecessary. Even when the specific effect is executed, the termination timing of the non-derivation period notified by the period notification effect and the derivation timing of the display result in the variable display of the first identification information are interrupted by the interruption of the variable display of the first identification information. Since the difference is large from the original deviation, the above configuration can reduce the player's discomfort.

  For example, the extension effect execution unit executes the extension effect when the extension period which can extend the non-derivation period becomes equal to or longer than a predetermined period (for example, the effect control CPU 120 that executes the processing of FIG. 63) ), May be. For example, the effect control CPU 120 may perform the process of FIG. 63 in step S869. The effect control CPU 120 determines whether the addition flag is on (step S901). If the addition flag is on (step S901; Yes), it means that the suspended first special figure game is resumed. It is determined whether or not the extension time (interruption) is a predetermined time or more (step S902), and if it is the predetermined time or more, control is performed to execute extension notification for the extension time (interruption) (step S903), and The extension time (interruption) is reset to "0" (step S904). If the addition flag is off (step S901; No) or not longer than the predetermined time (step S902; No), the process ends after step S904.

  According to the above configuration, the extension period in the extension effect can be made long, and the interest of the game can be improved. In particular, the extension effect of extending the time by the interrupted period (see FIG. 65) can further reduce the player's discomfort.

  Further, with the above configuration, the extension effect execution unit executes the extension effect each time the specific display result is derived in the variable display of the second identification information while the variable display of the first identification information is being performed (for example, In step S869, the effect control CPU 120 or the like executes extension notification based on the addition flag turned on by the interruption of the variable display of the first special symbol.

  As another example of this configuration, the CPU for effect control 120 may perform the process of FIG. 64, for example, in step S869. The effect control CPU 120 determines whether the addition flag is on (step S901). If the addition flag is on (step S901; Yes), it means that the suspended first special figure game is resumed. Control to execute extension notification for the extension time (interruption) is performed (step S903), and thereafter, the extension time (suspension) is reset to "0" (step S904). If the addition flag is off (step S901; No), the process ends after step S904.

  According to the above configuration, it is possible to increase the execution opportunity of the extension effect and to improve the interest of the game. In particular, the extension effect of extending the time by the interrupted period (see FIG. 65) can further reduce the player's discomfort.

  According to the above configuration, the game machine may perform a specific effect (e.g., after the lapse of the non-derivation period notified in the period notification effect) until the specific display result is derived in the variable display of the first identification information. Specific effect execution means (for example, effect control CPU 120 for executing the process of step S3057) for executing a specific effect etc., and the period notification effect is executed, and the variable display period of the variable display of the first identification information Specific effect extending means for extending the execution period of the specific effect based on the interruption of the time lapse of the variable display period (for example, measurement of the variable display period) (for example, the execution period of the specific effect is expanded in the process of step S3056A And effect control CPU 120) and the like.

  According to the above-described configuration, the player may feel discomfort due to the specific effect (the difference between the end timing of the non-derivation period notified by the period notification effect and the derivation timing of the display result in the variable display of the first identification information increases Discomfort) can be reduced, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the game. In particular, the player's sense of discomfort can be further reduced by extending the execution period of the specific effect by the amount of the interrupted period. In the above embodiment, the execution period of the specific effect is extended forward in time series (while the execution start timing of the specific effect is advanced), but may be extended later in time series (The execution start timing of the specific effect may be brought later).

  With the above-described configuration, the specific effect execution unit is from the end of the non-derivation period notified in the period notification effect until the display result other than the specific display result is derived in the variable display of the first identification information. In the meantime, the specific effect can be further executed (for example, the effect control CPU 120 that executes the specific effect even when the variable display result is “losing”).

  According to the above configuration, the variation of the specific effect can be increased, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, according to the above configuration, the gaming machine includes variable display period determination means (for example, the CPU 103 for executing the process of step S111, etc.) for determining a variable display period of variable display of the first identification information. The second state (for example, the first state (for example, the CPU 103 that refers to the determination table B in FIG. 66)) or the second state for which the variable display period of the variable display of the first identification information can be easily determined shorter than the first state 66 can be controlled by the CPU 103 or the like referring to the determination table A, and the decoration variable display execution unit executes variable display of the first identification information to derive the specific display result, and When controlled to the first state as the advantageous state (for example, the jackpot symbol is derived and displayed in the variable display of the first special symbol, and the jackpot type is “5R normal B And so on), it is possible to derive a specific decoration specification display result (for example, a specific big hit symbol etc. where "7" is aligned ") among the plurality of kinds of decoration specification display results as the decoration display result (for example, The CPU 120 for effect control that executes the process of step S3068, etc.) may be performed.

  The details of such a configuration will be described. The CPU 103 refers to the fluctuation patterns of FIGS. 66B to 66E when determining the fluctuation pattern of the first special view game in the high-probability high-base state. Further, as shown in FIG. 67, “5R normal A”, “5R normal B”, and “5R short term” are prepared as jackpot types. As in the above embodiment, "5R short-term" is not selected in the second special view game. Also, in the high probability high base state after the big hit gaming state based on the “big hit” of “5 R normal A”, the table A of FIGS. 66 (B) and (D) is referred to, “5R normal B In the high probability and high base state after the big hit gaming state based on the “big hit” of “B”, Table B in FIGS. 66 (C) and (E) is referred to. In the second special view game, the variation pattern may be determined similarly to the above embodiment regardless of the big hit type, or the reference table may be changed according to the big hit type. Here, the table referred to by the jackpot type at the time of high probability high base entry is referred to throughout the high probability high base. For example, if the jackpot type of the "big hit" of the first special view game is "5R normal A" in the normal state, that is, if it is determined to refer to the table A in the high probability high base state, the high probability high base In the state, the table A corresponding to the first jackpot type is referred to regardless of the "big hit" type of "big hit" in the second special view game.

  The first special figure fluctuation time determined with reference to the table A in FIGS. 66 (B) and (D) is the first special figure determined with reference to the table B in FIGS. 66 (C) and (E). It is shorter than the fluctuation time. In addition, by adjusting the determination ratio of the table and the fluctuation pattern, the average first special figure fluctuation time when the table A is referred to is more than the average first special figure fluctuation time when the table B is referred to It should be shortened.

  Under such circumstances, in step S3068, even when the jackpot type is "5R normal B", processing is performed assuming that the derivation condition for deriving the specific jackpot symbol is satisfied (see Fig. 68. Note that Fig. 68 and the derivation condition). The description of will conform to the description in FIG. 45 and the above embodiment). If the jackpot type is "5R normal B", then the variable display period of the first special view game becomes longer than "5R normal A", so the high probability high base state continues as long as other derivation conditions. Cheap. Therefore, even when the jackpot type is "5R normal B", it is possible to notify that the high probability high base state is easy to continue by deriving the specific jackpot symbol.

  Note that the table referred to by the jackpot type may be changed every occurrence of the jackpot. For example, when the big hit type of the "big hit" of the first special view game in the normal state is "5R normal A", then control is made to the high probability high base state referring to the table A, and then the high probability high base state If a "big hit" occurs in the second special view game and the big hit type is "5R normal B", control may be made to a high probability high base state with reference to the table B thereafter.

  According to the above configuration, the ease of termination (continuation) of the advantageous state can be easily understood depending on the type of the decoration specifying display result, and the interest of the game can be improved. In particular, when the jackpot type is "5R normal B", the advantageous state is ended by differentiating the symbol (decorative identification display result) between the time when the condition for deriving the specific jackpot symbol and the time when the condition is not satisfied. It is easy to understand how easy it is to continue, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and the like, and various modifications and applications can be made to the configuration and the like described above. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 does not have to have all the technical features shown in the above-described embodiment and the like. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is described in the above-described embodiment so as to solve at least one problem in the prior art. It may have only a part of the configuration. The modification is shown below. At least a part of each of the following modifications may be combined.

(Modification 2)
A plurality of types of extension presentation execution times are prepared (for example, one for executing the extension presentation in the execution period of 10 seconds, and one for the extension presentation in the execution period of 5 seconds), and the extension presentation execution means has a variable display period The above-mentioned predetermined condition such as during execution of variable display of the first identification information whose period is more than a specified period (in the suspension storage stored by the suspension storage means, the variable display period is more than the specified period by the determination means It is possible to make it easy to execute an extension effect of a short execution time, when the on-hold storage determined to be included is included. This also can increase the opportunity for extension presentation.

(Modification 3)
Remaining time notification notifies the time when the first special drawing game's fluctuation time is notified or the time when the special effect's execution time is subtracted from the fluctuation time, at the start of the execution of the first special drawing game without considering the pending storage. You may do so.

(Modification 4)
In the above embodiment, when being controlled to the big hit game state on the basis of one special figure game, execution of the other special figure game was interrupted, but it is compulsorily forced the variable display result of the other special figure game It may be a loss. In such a case, for example, when a "big hit" occurs in the second special view game, the first special view game is "lost", the end time of the high probability high base state is delayed, and the game performance is improved. In particular, by making the first special view game “missing”, the extension notification is performed according to the variable display time of the first special view game (in particular, by performing the extension notification by the configuration of the above embodiment) , You can improve the interest of the game.

(Modification 5)
The jackpot type and the jackpot gaming state may be anything other than those described above. For example, the mode of the big hit gaming state (round game mode) may be the same between the big hit type of shifting to the high probability high base state and the big hit type of not moving.

(Modification 6)
In the above embodiment, the gaming ball that has won the big winning opening always enters the probability variation detection area 40, but other routes are also provided, and a certain percentage of the gaming balls that have won the big winning opening is the probability variation detection The area 40 may not be awarded. Also, for example, a first attacker (special variable winning ball device) having a probability variation determination device (probability variation detection area) inside, and a second attacker (special variable prize winning ball) not having a probability variation determination device (probability variation detection area) inside In the jackpot gaming state of the first jackpot type (corresponds to the above "5R normal") to shift to an advantageous state such as a high probability high base state by providing the device), the first attacker is released and the high probability high base state The second attacker may be opened in the big hit gaming state of the second big hit type (corresponding to the above “5R short term”) which does not shift to the advantageous state such as, or ends the advantageous state. Further, in the big hit gaming state of the second big hit type, the probability variation determination device (probability variation detection area) may be covered so that the game ball can not enter, and the subsequent gaming state may not be in a probability variation state. Further, a valid period for detecting gaming balls entering the probability variation detection area 40 (a period in which the entry is made valid only when the entry of the gaming balls is detected within the valid period) may be provided. In this case, for example, in the big hit gaming state of the first big hit type and the big hit gaming state of the second big hit type, the opening period of the big winning opening both, the period during which the game ball can enter the big winning mouth May be the same as or different from each other) and extend the effective period in the big hit game state of the first big hit type, and eliminate the valid period in the big hit game state of the second big hit type (or The effective period may be such that the game ball can not be detected substantially. In addition, even in the big hit game state of the second big hit type, the first attacker is opened (however, the opening period is made shorter than the first big hit type), and a period in which the lid is not provided is provided (however, the relevant period May be shorter than the first jackpot type) or the effective period (however, the period may be shorter than the first jackpot type). In these cases, the jackpot of the second jackpot type can be derived in the first special view game, and is not derived in the second special view game, or the derivation ratio of the second jackpot type at the time of the jackpot is the first special view By setting the game higher than the second special view game, “after the end of the specific gaming state when the variable display of the first identification information is executed and the specific display result is derived in the advantageous state, The user may realize the configuration that "It is easier to finish than after the termination of the specific gaming state when the variable display of the second identification information is executed and the specific display result is derived".

(Modification 10)
A plurality of variation patterns for the second special view may be prepared for each of the "loss" and the "big hit". Moreover, it is good also as fluctuation time which differs by "loss" and "big hit." In addition, if the fluctuation time is the same, a common fluctuation pattern may be prepared for "losing" and "big hit".

(Modification 11)
The second special view game is made so that the “big hit” is less likely to occur in the variable display of the second special view game when the second start winning has occurred in the normal state (or to urge to hit the left). The special feature fluctuation time of may be very long (for example, 30 minutes).

(Modification 12)
Another first starting winning opening is provided in the vicinity of the second starting winning opening, so that the first starting winning and the second starting winning occur at a predetermined ratio, the first starting winning and the second starting winning In this case, when the occurrence ratio of the first start winning combination and the second start winning combination is biased and an abnormality occurs, the abnormality may be notified.

(Modification 13)
In connection with FIG. 40, the determination of the extension time may be determined according to the extension time (total). For example, the extension time may be defined as a ratio of 20%, 40%, 80%, etc. of the extension time (total).

(Modification 14)
The determination (step S3067) as to whether the derivation condition (such as FIG. 45) for deriving the specific big hit symbol is satisfied may be performed at the start of variable display, at the time of reach, or when a predetermined time has elapsed. Further, when the condition for derivation is satisfied, the specific jackpot symbol may be derived at a constant rate instead of always deriving the specific jackpot symbol.

(Modification 15)
The "5R short-term""bighit" finalized decorative pattern may be a predetermined reach loss eye or the like. In this way, the player may not notice the "5R short-term""bighit".

(Modification 16)
Screen display such as variable display corresponding to the second special view game may not be performed.

(Modification 17)
The interruption of the first special drawing game may be any internal one, and the decorative design may remain changed in appearance.

(Modification 18)
The termination of the high probability high base state may be terminated upon the derivation of a special lost symbol or a small hit symbol.

(Modifications) 19)
When the "5R normal""bighit" is derived in the first special view game in the high certainty high base state, it is not necessary to execute the specific effect (the high certainty high base state and the chance period continue as it is You may The specific effect may be started before the timer display in the remaining time notification reaches 0 seconds, and the specific effect may be ended when the timer reaches 0 seconds (at this time, "big hit" or " A variable display result of “lost” may be derived).

(Modification 20)
When deriving a specific big hit symbol, another big hit symbol such as "66 6" may be displayed temporarily (temporarily stopped), and then the specific big hit symbol may be uniformly drawn out.

(Modification 21)
In the above embodiment, the high probability high base status and the normal status are prepared as the gaming status, but a low probability high base status, a high probability low base status, and the like may be prepared. For example, when there is no entry of the game ball into the probability variation determination device such as the probability variation detection area 40 during the big hit gaming state (when there is no detection by the probability variation detection switch 40 etc.) It may be controlled to be in the high base state (short time state) without changing it. In this manner, after the jackpot gaming state may be controlled to the low probability high base state. Note that the big hit gaming state controlled to the high base state may be only a part of a plurality of types (for example, only 5R normal big hit gaming state). In the case of a predetermined type of big hit gaming state, when there is an entry of gaming balls into a probability variation determination device such as the probability variation detection area 40, control is made in the probability variation state, but it may not be controlled in the high base state . Thus, after the jackpot gaming state may be controlled to the high probability low base state. The above-mentioned advantageous state may be a high base state or a high probability state (high probability state).

(Modification 22)
In the above embodiment, in order to notify the effect control microcomputer of the fluctuation pattern indicating the fluctuation mode such as the fluctuation time and the type of reach effect, an example of transmitting one fluctuation pattern command when the fluctuation is started is shown. However, the variation pattern may be notified to the effect control microcomputer by two or more commands. Specifically, when notified by two commands, the gaming control microcomputer is the first command before reaching reach, such as presence or absence of pseudo sequence, presence or absence of slip effect (so-called second if it does not reach) Send a command indicating the fluctuation time and fluctuation mode before stop, and the second command after reaching reach such as reach type and re-lottery effect (so-called second stop if it does not reach) Command) may be transmitted. In this case, the effect control microcomputer may perform effect control in the fluctuation display based on the fluctuation time derived from the combination of two commands. In addition, even if the game control microcomputer is notified of the fluctuation time by each of the two commands, the effect control microcomputer may select the specific fluctuation mode to be executed at each timing. Good. When sending two commands, two commands may be sent within the same timer interrupt, and after sending a first command, after a predetermined period has elapsed (for example, the next timer interrupt) And the second command may be sent. The variation mode indicated by each command is not limited to this example, and the order of transmission can also be changed as appropriate. In this way, by notifying the fluctuation pattern by two or more commands, it is possible to reduce the amount of data which has to be stored as the fluctuation pattern command.
